English Language as an Agent of Progress in Globalization (BREAKING BARRIERS THROUGH ENGLISH LANGUAGE)
Communication has been a focal point of concern ever since. While it is a mere fact that every individual establishes connection through this to form part a relationship itself, communication still defies its essence as it evolves uncompromisingly into a fairly intricate phase and address so a need of precise blueprint. Historical records bear out the complexity of the nature of communication. Whether it is a verbal or non-verbal still has to agree with the situation at hand. One familiar barricade lies in the obvious discrepancy of the peoples language being spoken. Chinese speak Chinese, French speak French, and while Filipinos speak Filipino. In a modern world where globalization already takes the limelight, a need to break the wall that hinders unity and progress has to seize the moment at once. Thus, English language responds to the call of duty. English as an international language acts as a liaison for every countrys concern. Whether it be market economy, science, and technological and medical advancements, the language per se is willing and ready for the drudgery present in the status quo. Like a confidant who plays a role of equity, the English language senses its key role with its compelling presence to suffice the need and concern of the diverse and unbalanced structure between and among the nations. The whole world faces serious matter as globalization threatens the nations with its ever-persistent intervention to all mankind activities. In the Philippines, just like in any other countries, commercial and industrial enterprises are now hiring men with an outstanding command of the English language. Every business concept now concentrates on the employment of holistic marketing orientation, seeing the conventional view of a business being profit-oriented gradually shifting to customer focus. This is because of a growing competition among firms in order to solidify their good positions in their respective endeavours and most especially, customer satisfaction has become the basic statute for every business. In other words, communication has been a vital part for a business to survive not just locally but as well globally since it mobilizes all the aspects of the processes relevant to the business. On the other hand, ignorance leaves a viable point of entry for those who still lack the knowledge to use the right tool of communication and the urgency to take curative steps in face of adversity. With these weaknesses, the downfall is now never too far to be seen.

Inarguably, communication truly outlines its existence as an integral element of the societys future and with English language as a courier, almost any barrier or obstacle that seems to meet the way will be perforated by its resounding power and constancy.
