Modern Culture
Due to the well-known mobility tendency of Rinconada speakers to move freely inside and outside the Bicol Region, the language earned the moniker: PASĀDI PASAN, PASĪNI PASĪTON LANGUAGE. Translated literally, this means the – will go here will go there, will go here will go there language.

Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or culture:
“I lately met with an old volume from a London bookshop, containing the Greek Minor Poets, and it was a pleasure to read once more only the words Orpheus, Linus, Musæus,—those faint poetic sounds and echoes of a name, dying away on the ears of us modern men; and those hardly more substantial sounds, Mimnermus, Ibycus, Alcæus, Stesichorus, Menander. They lived not in vain. We can converse with these bodiless fames without reserve or personality.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“As the twentieth century ends, commerce and culture are coming closer together. The distinction between life and art has been eroded by fifty years of enhanced communications, ever-improving reproduction technologies and increasing wealth.”
—Stephen Bayley (b. 1951)
