    Tagalog ba o Pilipino?

    Ang tinuturo sa mga paaralan ay Pilipino.

    Tagalog is only a dialect like Cebuano o Ilonggo o Waray o Ilocano o Bicolano

    It's a weird thing to tweet.

    He's correct, in a way... Tagalog is a slippery language, and lacks precision for debates.

    BUT... it's a poetic language, and ripe for political speech... if you don't use it to pander to the audience, well... you're an idiot.

    Even PNoy recognizes the necessity of speaking in Tagalog to reach his audience.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    ^It is for the same reason you explain what storm surge is in the local language if you want them to evacuate.

    Maybe his intent was towards Poe and Roxas but still strange for him to write it that way.

    Teddy Boy Locsin is a certified ilonggo. No wonder tagalog is bullshitty from his POV.
