Ang Paggamit ng Wikang Pilipino

Note:Huwag niyo po ako sisihin at galing lang ito sa classmate ko:
The Dilemma of Accounting in Filipino ACCOUNTANTS (Pagtutuos), TAKE NOTE!!!

A bill filed by Sen. Lito Lapid asks that proposed laws should be written in Filipino (Pilipino). Likewise, the official spoken language in the senate should be Filipino. But I doubt this bill will see the light of day.

Read on to know why. Ang Paggamit ng Wikang Pilipino

A young, good-looking representative from Laguna sponsored a bill recommending the Filipino language be used in all levels of accounting firms and banking institutions. The solon claimed it will provide a better understanding of the business transactions for those who are inexperienced and non-English speaking citizens.

The bill received unanimous approval from the House and was presented to the President for Signature to become the law of the land. But in spite of the overwhelming pressure from the members of the Congress, the President vetoed the bill.

Why?

She explained that when the English 'business' words are translated in Tagalog, they sound very malicious (malaswa) and are 'nakaka-hiya at nakaka-kilabot! '


Here are a few sample words - English to Filipino

Asset - Ari

Fixed asset - Nakatirik na ari

Liquid asset - Basang ari

Solid asset20- Matigas na ari

Owned asset - Sariling pag-aari

Depreciation of asset - Laspag na pag-aari

Fully depreciated asset - Laspag na laspag na pag-aari

Earning asset - Tumutubong pag-aari

Working asset - Ganado pa ang ari

Non-earning asset - Baldado na ang ari

Erroneous entry - Mali ang pagka-pasok

Double entry - Dalawang beses ipinasok

Multiple entry - Labas pasok nang labas pasok

Correcting entry - Itinama ang pagpasok

Reversing entry - Baligtad ang pagkakapasok
