The English translation of the Filipino phrase "Ang hindi marunong lumingon sa sariling wika, daig pa ang malansang isda" is "He who does not know how to look back at his own language is worse than a stinking fish." This expression emphasizes the importance of valuing and appreciating one’s own culture and language, suggesting that neglecting them is a sign of a lack of identity or pride.
