In today’s episode, we will delve into the challenges that a multilingual student encounters during her college journey. We explore its impact on her academic performance and personal life, while also recognizing the significance of other languages, such as Bisaya and Tagalog to promote intercultural communication, bridge communication gaps between different cultures and ethnicities, and positioning analysis to help identify and challenge the silencing of certain languages and perspectives. As we shed light on these challenges, we also emphasize the use of media representation in creating and serving as a medium for an inclusive environment in higher education. Yhonnie Angelle Camarote, a 20-year-old woman who was born and raised in Davao, gave her own narratives and views on how the language barrier affects her ability to communicate. Despite the fact that the phrase "language barrier" is a less well-known problem with local languages, it does exist. Her native tongue is Bisaya, and despite her proficiency in English, she acknowledged feeling intimidated when speaking to Filipinos whose first language is Tagalog.
