Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino (KWF) has urged colleges and universities to offer more and new courses in Filipino and to use it as a medium of instruction in the Philippines after the Supreme Court (SC) removed Filipino and Panitikan or Philippine Literature from core subjects in college.

“State universities and colleges as the educational instrument in fulfilling the mandates of the Constitution should be the model and vanguard in the propagation of the language provision,” KWF said.

“The KWF is providing retooling courses to SUCs to encourage the use of Filipino in teaching GECs. We hope that if more SUCs use Filipino as a medium of instruction, even private education institutions will follow,” Almario said in a press conference on Monday at the NCCA office in Intramuros, Manila.

“Some administrators of colleges and universities betrayed their preference for English and dismantled their Filipino departments. Clearly these actions were not in the Commission on Higher Education memorandum and more importantly, against the spirit of the language provision in the 1987 Constitution,” he said.

On the other hand, he said that some colleges and universities deliberately “misread” the recent SC ruling to favor the use of English over Filipino in teaching GECs.
