The mind maps I made is all about the History of language Program in the
Philippines. There are few institution in regarding to this. The Malolos constitution of
1899 require no mandate/ regulation of the use of the languages in the country and the
1935 institution adopt one of the language as a national language English and Spanish
used as official languages meantime. The Institute of national language suggested
Tagalog should be national language, this ultimately result the Executive Order 134 of
1973 pronounced Tagalog as Philippine National language of the Philippines. Under
Pres. Marcos, advanced the use of Filipino as the national language and the bilingual
policy was promoted in schools.
The MTB-MLE, stands for Mother tongue-based Multilingual Education, this
regarded as subject area and as a MOI. The fluency of mother tongue starts at grade
1-3. Prior to this, Philippines adopted a bilingual policy on education. This defined as
the operational use of both English and Filipino in school. In the 1987 constitution
Filipino was highly accorded. The Executive Order 335 issued by Pres. Corazon
Aquino in 1998, requires use of Filipino language in all government agencies.
English for globalised’ Filipino? Philippine being Top 1 sending countries in
terms of manpower. Filipino speak better English and work harder than other
nationalities. BPO market shaped and re-introduced the strengthening of the English
language policy. Economic distribution of capital means that well educated are
cautious of the Filipino domestic workers.
English; the language of choice? 1966 Airlie House Conference considered
English simply as an option for wider communication. Fishman (1977), spread of
English in different angles, among others, education, political affinity, and
urbanization.The role of language policies in education shift to promoting English as
a working language and adapting a bilingual education policy.
