REMOVING FILIPINO IN COLLEGE CURRICULUM

I. SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

This study is significant in a way that it helps:

PARENTS realize that it is not mandatory to speak English with their children;
thinking that it would be the best way to prepare their kids for school where English
is the medium of instruction.

FILIPINOS recognize the downward and upward spiral effects in the elimination
in college curriculum.

COLLEGE STUDENTS comprehend that Filipino in college is not a waste of

money, time and effort; Even though our mentors teach these stuff during our Grade
School and High School days, still we tend to forget our culture and the language
itself.

The PHILIPPINE INSTITUTION for them to be more conscious. It is ironic that

American colleges and universities like the City College of San Francisco, the
University of California in Los Angeles, and the University of Hawaii, among others,
have been promoting Filipino culture and language, while they seemingly lost their
sanity by dumping the study of the national language. 

II. STRENGTHS

According to the CenterTechNews Team that if the Filipino subject in Philippine

College Curriculum will be effectively eliminated, it violates Article XIV, Section 6 of
the 1987 Constitution, which says “the Government shall take steps to initiate and sustain
the use of Filipino as a medium of official communication and as language of instruction
in the educational system.

30,000 to 80,000 professors and teachers of the Filipino language in secondary and
tertiary levels may lose their jobs if Filipino will be positively scrapped from the college
curriculum.
