Student-friendly and easy to use, Mag-Filipino Tayo is an excellent text for students who want to improve their language skills and learn about the culture and history of the Philippines. The book can also be used by those who want to gain a deeper insight into their own language and culture and interact with family members and relatives from the Philippines.
