Regarding the Aug. 20 article "Kawasaki's Filipinos form support base," I would like to clarify that the appropriate term for the language spoken by Filipinos is Filipino, per se, and not Tagalog. Tagalog pertains only to the original language of the people from the Tagalog region on the island of Luzon. The Filipino language represents all of the 169 other languages and dialects of the entire archipelago. Even when the actual language used is Tagalog, for the sake of unity it is collectively called the Filipino language.
