A provenance or a tongue?

I AM a Bikolano. I was born in Bikol. I grew up breathing Bikol air. Even up to now, I am in Bikol; I work here, I spend my earnings here. I eat my breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and take my meriendas here. I utter or contemplate on my prayers in Bikol. I talk to my friends, loved ones and even strangers in Bikol (first, then use another language if my language is strange to the stranger). I transact with other people in Bikol. I am not surprised if dreams come to me in my sleep like clips of films with screenplay penned in my own language. I write in Bikol, of Bikol, for Bikol.

But, actually, there was hardly a reason to panic since the lady senator was there to visit her favorite actress Heart Evangelista who is one of the lead stars in the said series.
