SC reiterates Filipino, Panitikan not required in college

FIGHTING THE RULING. Students and Filipino language advocates march to the Supreme Court in Manila on November 26, 2018, as they condemn the order to remove Filipino as a required college subject. File photo by Ben Nabong/RapplerIn a resolution dated March 5, the Supreme Court en banc upheld itsafter petitioner Tanggol Wika failed to offer"any substantial argument" on the case.

"It does not limit the academic freedom of universities and colleges to require additional courses in Filipino, Panitikan, and the Constitution in their respective curricula," the High Court said.In the same ruling, the en banc ruled that it was"erroneous" for petitioners to assume that the K to 12 Law does not serve the interest of science high school students.

In a statement, Tanggol Wika called the SC decision a"setback" in the education system, saying that they intend to file another motion for reconsideration"in an effort to exert all remedies."

'are not required.' I wont go into a rant on the importance of preserving our native languages but does 'not required' mean that colleges can still choose to teach this subject or is it that colleges must stop teaching Filipino and Panitikan because it is redundant?

May mga kakilala akong hindi alam ang ibig sabihin ng kabalintunaan -- di ko alam.... Maaring marapat lamang na tanggalin na ang wika at panitikan! 🙄🙄👊👊

Writ of makabayan.

Yes!!! I want English only!

To be fair.. hindi nabawasan ang Filipino subject kasi nadagdag sya sa SHS so 13 yrs pa din syang aaralin. Dapat iimprove lang ang pagtuturo sa basic ed. Lalo na ng Araling Panlipunan para alam ng mga bata yung function ng Govt tsaka ng mga agencies.. baka maging smart na botante

Whaaaaat?, are you going to change it to Chinese Language

baka chinese na ang ipalit

Ang galing! Mabuhay ang mga SCng banyaga! Pero may French at Spanish. Bulok talaga ang sistema ng gobyerno ngayon.

Kaya kakaunti ang tumatangkilik sa panitikang Filipino. Ako man, mas malalim pa ang naging pag-aaral ko sa banyagang literatura. Hindi sapat ang Filipino sa high school para sa isang mayaman at puspusang pag-unawa sa ating mga akda. Nakakalungkot.

Agree to that! Grade 1 to 12 pinagaaralan na yan, dipa ba matutunan?! Pahirap nalang sa college, waste of time and money

Redundant na kasi yan bakit hindi pag isahin at ituro sa high school, para makafocus ang studyante sa major subjects. Isama na rin ung Rizal. Pag College na eh mature na ang isip, ang kultura at wika ay dapat kabisado na.

I thought our govt wanted to promote patriotism (thru rotc)? E di bat mahalaga din to? Smh

😞
