During the spanish colonization, the colonizers put more highlight on using Spanish as a medium of

communication, however betwen 1550-1863 different languange laws were issued, the friars were
commanded to learn indigenous langunages but at the same time being asigned to teach Spanish also.
The reign of the Spaniards in the Philippines continues to be a way for them to control the said country,
that in the Ordinance 1768, which later became Ordinance 52 in 1978, which focuses on using Spanish
as the only languange being taught in school and prohibiting any languanges to enter upon it and gave
incentives to those people that has the ability to speak in the languange of Spanish given them official
[Link], the Education Act in 1863, that mandated Spanish as the sole medium of communication in
oder to give more power in the dominion of the Spaniards, that then became a burden for most Filipinos
considering that only the elite class of the society back then has the only priviledge to learn the
languange of the Colonizers. Thus, becomes the aspirations for the Filipinos to study it, not only to be
able to cope up with prevailing system of the Spaniards but also to use it as a power to speak their voice
to fight for freedom and rights.

On this epoch of Spaniards, Filipinos being held in the neck by the Colonizers, still fail to infiltrate the
Spanish language in the country seeing that Philippines is geographically far from Spain, that royal
decrees were not as forceful in implementing as in the homeland, authorities wanted to be prohibited
from hearing such news from the outside to prevent any kind of impact from the indepence of the Latin
Americans considering that they have come into a kind of revolution that set them free from the
Spaniards, the decrees that were originally madr for Americans did not fit in the thw context of the
Philippines for the fact that both have differences either in customs or traditions, there was lack of funds
through the fact that clergy are the ones who cover the expenses for education and not by the national
treasury, also given to the fact in the ordinace given in 1768 which stated that natives will be given an
incentive if they learn to speak Spanish, however in reality those incentives were just fictuves, another is
that natives had only few opportunities to practice Spanish for the reason only the friars are the ones
who lives in the native village and Spaniards are forbidden to do so, and lastly even though the
Spaniards entrusted to the Friars the teaching of Spanish, Friars oppose

Moving Forward after the era of the Spaniards, the Philippines went under the control of American from
1898-1946, the learning of Spanish was then revoked yet being replaced by another, through the fact
that the US Government sent the Thomatites to the Philippines which whom are volunteers to teach on
remote places and used education as way to infused western cultures. According to Brainard (2016),in
1901, upon the establishment of American Government in the Phillippines, 540 American teachers were
sent to teach English to the Filipinos. Back then, English became the medium of instructions in schools.

After the colonization of the Americans, the Phillippines made a way to help counteract the influence
brought by the Americans, President Quezon stands to motivate the Filipinos to rekindle the fire of
native culture as well as the Filipino values, through the inclusion in the 1935 constitution that regards
on the development of the national languange, in Article 14, Section 3 of the 1935 Constitution, which
states that "...Congress shall make necessary steps towards the development of a national languange
which be based on one of the existing native languanges..." and to strengthen the given provision,
President Manuel Quezon, issued an Executive Order No. 134, on December 30,1937 which he gave an
official order to make Tagalog as the official national languange of the Philippines and soon after the
Phillipnes yet again being invaded by Foreign in the year 1941, Japanesse invaded the Philippines that
resulted on the rampant propagation of Nippongo and its culture, but they have prohibited the use of
English or any western influences to circled upon the premises of Philippines. However, despite of the
invasion, it paved the way to the bloomed of Filipino languange that soon became the official languange
in teaching Philippine History and Character Education declared upon Executive Order No. 10, by
President Laurel.

After all the invasions in the Philippines, the government put more comprehensive and concrete legal
basis for the serveral languange policies in the Philippines being provided in Article 14, section 6 and 7 of
the 1987 Constitution. Afterward, the DECS promulgated the Philippine Bilingual Education Policy that
was first implemented in 1974, which was titled as "Implementing Guidelines for the Policy on Bilingual
Education" that gives emphasis on the separation of English and Filipine being taught and use as the
media for instruction in the specfic subjects. Next to this languange policy, was the Excutive Order No.
335 that was by former Pres. Corazon Aquino on August 25, 1998, that aims to make appropriate and
effective steps through the help of various agencies, offices, bureaus and etc. on making the Filipino
languange in official transaction, communication and correspondence and further instensified the
national languange of the Philippines.

In the year 1994, the Comisiion on Higher Education (CHED) came to be, upon the promulgation of the
Republic Act No. 7722 also called as the "Higher Education Act of 1994" which caters the higher degree
of learning and promotes that languange courses either it may be Filipino or English, should be taught in
what language it focuses on. Also, the creation of K-12 progran and the Mother Tongue-Based
Multilingual Education, upon the creation of this program it has built more ways by which students can
be more competence through languange, this mandates that from kindergarten to Grade 3 Mother
Tongue is the medium of instruction, in Grade 1 Filipino and English willl be thoughts as subject areas,
and lastly in terms of Junior High School and Senior, English and Filipino will become the primary
medium of languange of instruction.

On the year of 2017, House Bill No. 5091 was created or "An act to strengthen and Enhance the Use of
English as the Medium of Instruction in the Educational System" it was for the purpose of the former
President and Pampanga Rep. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo to strengthen and instensify the use of English
Lanaguange as the Medium of Instruction in the Educational system, from the start of learning as a
students up to the teriatiary level. This also puts more emphasize on being the platform for language
profiency to amplify more the english proficiency of the students, considering that under the said bill,
English shall be taught as the second language starting with first grade which shall be used as the
medium of instruction for Mathematics, English and Science from at least to the level of third grade, yet
despite that this bill promotes the English proficiency, Filipino is still not put out of the picture, for it
shall be the medium of instruction in the learning areas of Filipino and Araling Panlipun, being provided
in accordance to the bill.
Carlos I being the one who's in throne, made a decree in 1550 in Valldodid which bids the teaching of
Castilian in the Spanish Colonies that was issued before Philippine colonization.

Felipe IV issued a decree in 1634 that stated that calls on the colonial government to teach Spanish to all
the natives. However, Carlos II complained that upon the former decrees made were not properly being
administered and observed, in connection a new decree was then made in 1686 which gave punishment
if it is not obeserved.
