This study explores the significance of language in creating cultural identity through an analysis of the recently-published Filipino classic Goyo: Ang Batang Heneral (2018), which shows General Gregorio del Pilars actions during the Philippine-American War. In postcolonial contexts, language is a powerful tool for voicing dissent, negotiating power, and regaining cultural identities. The films portrayal of language reflects the past battles of the Filipino people and serves as a symbol of resistance to colonial rule and national identity. Using Erving Goffmans book The Showing of Self in Everyday Life as a guide, this study explores communications as a performative strategy employed by characters to validate their sense of self in the socio-historical context of the Philippine Revolution. The study examines how Goyos switch between Spanish and Filipino emphasizes resistance. This is self-determination, and cultural assertion throughout the war by fusing postcolonial theory, Bourdieus idea of linguistic as a representation of power, and Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA). This study also highlights how language serves as a means of cultural resistance in Filipino cinema, as linguistic decisions influence identity and pride in the country. By focusing on the relationship between language and individual identity in Goyo, the study enhances the role of language in resisting colonial structures. Although earlier research has addressed linguistic changes in historical films, much is known about how these choices impact Filipino audiences today including their perceptions of their nation. Through new perspectives on language as well as perspectives about how language in Goyo impacts contemporary views of Filipino identity on resistance to culture, this study aims to bridge this divide.

In conclusion, the film Goyo illustrates the pivotal role of language, particularly Tagalog, in the Filipino fight for independence during the Philippine Revolution.It emphasizes how language functions not just as a communication tool but as a symbol of resistance, unity, and national identity.The film highlights the rejection of foreign languages as an expression of cultural sovereignty.Ultimately, Goyo demonstrates that language is more than a communication tool—it is an essential element in the decolonization process, shaping national identity, resistance, and unity in the struggle for freedom.

Penelitian lanjutan dapat dilakukan dengan mengeksplorasi secara lebih mendalam bagaimana berbagai bahasa daerah di Filipina turut membentuk identitas nasional selama periode revolusi, melampaui fokus utama pada Tagalog. Selain itu, studi lebih lanjut dapat meneliti bagaimana kelas sosial dan pilihan bahasa saling terkait dalam gerakan revolusioner, mengungkap dinamika kekuasaan yang lebih kompleks. Terakhir, penelitian di masa depan dapat menyelidiki peran bahasa dalam pembangunan bangsa pasca-revolusi dan dampaknya terhadap integrasi sosial serta pelestarian budaya, memperkaya pemahaman kita tentang warisan berkelanjutan bahasa di Filipina. Penelitian-penelitian ini akan memberikan wawasan yang lebih komprehensif tentang peran bahasa dalam membentuk identitas nasional Filipina, dinamika kekuasaan sosial, dan proses pembangunan bangsa, dengan mempertimbangkan keragaman linguistik dan konteks historis yang unik.
