Every word we borrow is a bridge we build. 🌉

Wika Mo, Story Mo starts the moment a foreign phrase finds a home in our local tongue. Whether it’s chill, estetik, or susmariosep, lexical borrowing isn't just about changing words—it’s about how our identity evolves with every syllable.

It begins with the words we’ve adopted, adapted, and absolutely owned. Lexical borrowing: because sometimes, one language just isn't enough to tell the whole story. 📚✨

Meet the faces behind the borrowed words!

Welcome to Wika Mo, Story Mo! We’re a group of language advocates and enthusiasts obsessed with how Filipinos mix, match, and morph languages to tell their stories. From Spanish roots to English tech-speak, we’re here to dive deep into the art of lexical borrowing.
