Coņotations does not fail to impress primarily be

. . .
With “Coņo, were more or less trying to change our nationalities because we’re not behaving the way we Filipinos, who through time have set themselves apart from other countries because of the richness and authenticity of their virtues, are expected to.

Thus, “Coņotations” of Pablo Manalo wakes us up and encourages us to reflect upon this reality that is leading us away from who we should really try to be. What is being corrupted here is our respect for our own means of expression, and our national pride. Moreover, the poem intrigues students from Schools where the well-discriminated culture of coņo unfortunately exists. This hurts the image of our country because it’s encouraging us to betray the image that all Pinoys should have and love because most probably people find more composure and confidence in being “Coņo” Thus, this only means people who support the “Coņo movement” are ashamed of the Philippine image. “Coņo” is trying to mold a personality and image in us that’s borrowed from other cultures. What is molded because of “Coņo” is not anymore a distinct kind of attitude that distinguishes us from other countries. “Cono” is disgracing our own language because it’s only using our native expressions like “naman”, “puwede”, “talaga” to add a little flavor and spice to how things sound. I am well aware that it is now very hopeless for us to resist the influence of the western culture and that we’ve already learned to welcome and appreciate English; however, in “”Coņo”, were insulting our culture because we’re loving the English style of expression more than ours.

However, the more important purpose that this poem and the book is determined to fulfill is to be able to stir up the emotions of Pinoys and help them realize that something should not be dominating and corrupting. People have just developed unfriendliness towards this “coņo” behavior because it’s not anymore respecting the essence of language. Therefore, this books helps re-examine ourselves and our pride, and also hopes to remind us of who we are and should be. In Ateneo, people feel awkward and uncomfortable towards “coņo” because people have developed some kind of bad prejudice against it.
