I still remember the time when our class, Yr. II Umanhin, together with our pretty adviser, Ms. Flodeelyne Salabao agreed to speak in English when we are inside the vicinity of the school (of course, speaking in Filipino is NOT allowed). Whoever breaks this rule will be awarded with a fabulous medal with this message on it: " I spoke in Vernacular. Please do not follow me". Terrified and ashamed to wear this so-called "fabulous medal", our class did our very best to speak in English, even though it was not really good. Of course, it's not merely for the sake of not wearing the medal, but to be prepared for job interviews and so many more in the future. Though it is difficult no to speak our own language, we, our class, still did our very best to speak in English to enhance our communication skills.
As a result, we ranked grabbed the award for being the "Best English Speakers" in the whole high school department. Plus, we also received our teachers' appreciation for the effort that we made to speak in English.
