Filipino Sign Language

         

            Filipino Sign Language (FSL) is Deaf sign language from the Philippines. Deaf people communicate using FSL through their hands. It is a natural language inside and outside Deaf community. But there is problem about conflict SEE (Signing Exact English) and FSL in educations and also no interpreter for Deaf in media and accesses. Many companies are not accepting Deaf to apply work because many people are not aware of FSL because few Deaf people and also few Deaf leader. Here in the Philippines, Deaf organizations and community wanted to propose Bill 6079 to the government to approve it. Currently, Deaf community improves to be strong. Last Monday (November 5), there were about 300 Deaf people went and rallied to the House of Representative in Quezon City. The government discussed and processed very long. Hopefully, the government can approve law. They will be proud of our sign language is FSL.
