We have different tribes and each own dialects. This is why we can never be united.

Majority would speak in Tagalog. There are Ilongos, Cebuanos, Kapampangans with their own languages. Those from Bisaya have their other languages too. It is the reason unity is never achieved well in the Philippines.
