Do the words ?kahulugan,? ?kabulu?n,? and ?katutur?n? mean the same thing? What is the difference between ?muni? and ?nilay,? between ?pagtar?k? and ?paghul?,? and between ?haka? and ?hinuh??? Why is the sadness more intense in ?pighat? than ?lumb?y?? How was ?bayani? defined in early settlements? These are only some of the concepts that National Artist Vigilio S. Almario aimed to explain through researching early senses and languages of wisdom that can be encountered in our language. V.S. Almario looked into the way words were used in early writing to illuminate its original value, and how it was twisted by our colonial experiences, so that we may integrate these words in a more substantiated manner in our writing once more. It also serves as a basis for forming a philosophy on our language and proof of the cultivation of our national history and culture. The essays in this book are part of V.S. Almario?s study and research on the potential of Filipino as a language of nationalistic research and the scientific ambitions of our national language.
