YES, WE SUPPORT FSL! Because it is a natural, visual, cultural, and unique sign language where the indigenous Filipino Deaf Community finds more comfortable and has its own rights and self-determination. It is not meant as a written language.

If those hearing SEE-used teachers who never feel closely sensitive or concerned with their students how they feel, they are completely not aware, because they never have to observe or check them if they listen and understand well. Only the teachers strictly teach and train their students to work their crucial learning of signing SEE, speaking, writing and reading in the classroom, the students who show pretended to understand fully?.... it is not, they have lacked their knowledge; they feel strangled and overwhelmed themselves. Then after the class, the teachers go home, come to the class, and also earn their salary that it is routine only but they never have time to be with the students such as chatting or any Deaf-friendly activities. That is like what I had experienced about my preparatory and grade school life before. The use of SEE in the education system should CHANGE NOW.

We should STAND FIRMLY our UNITY and ACTION against the anti-FSL.
