Why Philippines is not a Spanish-speaking country anymore? The Philippines is more like a collection of "Paraguays." Paraguay was a Spanish colony that specifically insisted on preserving the local indigenous language Guaraní as the main everyday first language, and using Spanish as a second language of administration/education. The Philippines was a collection of "Paraguays" because the Ilocos area used Ilocano, the ethnically-Tagalog areas used Tagalog, the ethnically-Kapampangan areas used Kapampangan, the ethnically-Cebuano areas used Cebuano, etc, etc, etc. Spanish was the second language used for administration/education, but the local language remained the first/everyday language. Second languages are easier to replace. When the Americans came, the second language of administration/education which was Spanish got replaced with English. If Paraguay got colonized by another European country and they replaced Spanish as the second language with the language of that other European country, then Paraguay would have become like the Philippines. For me: the best realistic solutions would be: 1. Abolish the National Language provision and make all Philippine languages official languages, including Hokkien, Arabic, Spanish, and English. Having de facto languages would be enough, not de jure languages. 2. Adopt the language policy of BARMM, they have interpreters and translators in different languages. Spain is starting recognize its regional languages even more, like Catalan, Basque, Galician, & even Valencian, thanks to its EU membership.
How can I even start? There's so much to say about this man because I've fought with him on this and other platforms many times. I will point out his problematic ideas and follow up on fundamental principles (some he does follow) that the Philippines should improve on. TL;DR available below. 1. *_He definitely has a wild colonial mentality._* Everything follows with that. Just see his comment about having an Argentinian heart, aka one of the whitest in Latin America. When you asked about the loss of native languages in Mexico, he couldn't answer because he knows it was the price for the "national identity" and he doesn't care if it happens to us too. Those overflowing with colonial mentality SHOULD NOT handle our country's policies. 2. *_He has always been against the mother tongue-based multilingual education._* Several experts have already educated (and corrected) him about this but he is always cornered to the point he just spits out ad hominems to them. Quite ironic because he is Bisaya and seems to agree that Tagalog is being promoted in favor of other native languages. 3. *_He views Filipino children purely as potential exports abroad._* You can see a glimpse of it in this video. He wants the government to mandate other foreign languages, especially Spanish AND Mandarin, as early as Kinder to "make them as fluent as native speakers". For what, you ask, purely so that they will be perfect UNACCENTED BPO agents. Wow. And when you ask him how about the native languages, he either doesn't care about their inclusion or wants them to remain in the household, with no place in higher society. 4. *_What he does get right is that Tagalog (in the contemporary form of Filipino) is giving ethnic Tagalogs an unfair advantage._* It has been replacing the languages of many indigenous communities such as the various Ayta, Agta, and Mangyan but now it is even encroaching on Kapampangan and Bikol areas, both of which are major languages mind you. Officializing this dynamic through the national language will repeat what Spanish and English did to the Americas. To be fair, this is also true with other big Philippine languages such as Bisaya (replacing the languages of the various Lumad), Ilokano (replacing Pangasinan, the Cordilleran and Cagayan languages), and Hiligaynon (the Inete language). The Philippines should improve and follow the following: 1. *_Do not reduce languages based on their "linguistic capital"._* Note how he talked about how foreign languages are the key to the economy. If we reduce languages this way, of course, smaller languages would have less economic potential. But that's not their fault, it is because we don't give ample opportunities for our languages to serve their communities in education, business, media, etc. To improve this we can also: 2. *_Solidify and improve mother tongue-based multilingual education._* This way, all languages are equal and our relationship with Filipino and foreign languages would be appropriate: we keep speaking our own languages and we improve on these second languages without glorifying them. [The failure of the MTB-MLE policy was not its nature but the lack of funding and support from stakeholders] 3. *_Give our ~180 languages respective official status._* A very simple and appropriate yet unpracticed policy among the regions. Only La Union has an explicit policy protecting Ilokano and its minority languages. If we have policies protecting our languages (which is very appropriate in a post-colonial multiethnic country), industries will follow up on this, reducing the imbalance between local and foreign languages. 4. *_Embrace and produce platforms for said native languages instead of entertaining more colonial b_**_#llsh1t_**_._* It's unfortunate how a problematic figure like him is being given a big platform while the discussion and appreciation of our living languages aren't. People can't even think of one that explicitly discusses the linguistics and intricacies of our languages without the prescriptive and outdated ideas (i.e. Kara David's videos about Filipino). 5. *_Educate ourselves about the difference between a national language and an official language._* National languages are supposed to represent their respective peoples while official languages are those used in official documents. They often overlap but the difference should be distinguished. The funny thing is, it is only in SE Asia that multilingual countries opt for one language with "national" status while Latin America and African nations have many "national" languages because they treat each group as a distinct group albeit being united in one state. This is a problem in the region because we blindly follow the nation-state model of European and East Asian countries when most of them are relatively homogenous countries unlike ours. Actually, all of them have regional and minority languages as well but look at how they treat those due to this one nation one language mentality. It is not required but we should seriously think about maybe giving all our languages national status and relegating Filipino as the "country-wide lingua franca". This is mainly an issue of semantics and definitions but they do have power and consequences. 6. *_Push for Filipino's Frankenstein nature to further distinguish it from Tagalog._* Other ethnic groups will always hate Filipino if it stays practically the same as Tagalog, especially since the KWF and Filipino teachers are always in denial of the fact that they are still basically the same. Yes, they are supposed to be different but that's because it is mandated that we will enrich Filipino with features from other Philippine languages as well. However, because of the artificial nature of this task, it is going to be difficult. But you already see Filipino proponents prescribing "correct usage" such as instead of , no -nan suffix, etc. so why aren't they prescribing instead of for example. We should either seriously improve Filipino to embrace it without unfair treatment of Tagalog or simply admit that they're the same and just choose a more appropriate national multilingual law. TL;DR: Ignore this man, he treats our languages as inferior to foreign lingua francas and views children as resources to export. Instead, follow personalities WHO ARE ACTUAL LANGUAGE EXPERTS that promote decolonial and pro-Philippine language policies.
What's wrong if someone opts for teaching foreign languages at an early age (from preschool) over native languages, especially if the latter aren't fully standardized and suitable to be used as mediums of instruction for STEM and HUMSS subjects? We have a generation of Filipino school-aged children speaking English as their first language which MTB-MLE will hamstring their academic development in the process. MTB-MLE was a belated language education policy meant to say "f*ck you" to parents who opt to have their children grow up speaking English as their first language at home. Wag nalang ipilit ang MTB-MLE sa mga bata na Inglishero na talaga o kaya sa mga bata na ang mga magulang ay gusto nila na sila magmigrate abroad. Anong silbi ng MTB-MLE kung may mga parents at ang kanilang school-aged children ay biglang lilipat ng tirahan na ibang panig ng bansa (from Tagalog to Cebuano-speaking area or vice versa)? Sagutin mo ang tanong ko kung paano i-implement ang MTB-MLE kung palipat-lipat ng tirahan ang mga school-aged children dahil ang nature ng trabajo ng magulang nila ay palipat-lipat ang workplace assignment. You have to remember that foreign languages should be properly taught in the school system with the end goal of attaining oral proficiency (B1-B2) and TBH, you cannot achieve that through conscious-based adult university foreign language education. Hindi yan madala within three months or one or two semesters of elective foreign language class as college para maging makata sa foreign language inaaral mo, kundi kailangan ng constant exposure (24/7) na hindi talaga kaya ng isang adult, unless lilipat sa bansang kung saan sinasalita siya as native language, kaya nga sa second language education context, dapat gawing medium of instruction ang Spanish, tulad ng ating ginagawa sa English. FYI, deprived po ako ng cultural identity kasi hindi naman talaga 100% Cebuano Bisaya ang mother tongue as pamilya ko, kundi nagsasalita kami sa pamilya ng Spanish as lingua franca (L1 pa sa ibang ninuno ko) until as generation ng grandparents ko (matagal na po silang patay), kaya heritage language ko ang Spanish, ok. Hindi ako nagkaroon ng pagkakataon na matuto ng Spanish as L2 sa ating school system noong primary school student pa ako dahil pinipilit ang Tagalog aka Filipino sa kapanahonan ko, kaya para hindi maulit ang masamang karanasan ko sa buhay, isinasapuso ko ang Spanish language restoration advocacy, hindi lang dahil sa historical nostalgia purposes, kundi gusto ko na ang susunod na generacion ng mga Pilipino ay makaahon sa kahirapan at iwanan ang ating bansang Pilipinas dahil malapit na tayo sasakupin ng China at ang Argentina ang tamang bansa sa mundo para gawing second homeland (transplanted) ng sambayanang Pilipino.
@@JosephSolisAlcaydeAlberici " dahil malapit na tayo sasakupin ng China at ang Argentina ang tamang bansa sa mundo para gawing second homeland" ... I've genuinely tried to understand your perspective, but I just can't make sense of it. Your arguments seem far-fetched and disconnected from reality.
Hola, pienso que estás equivocado puesto que México no perdió sus lenguas indígenas por culpa de hablar español, simplemente las consideraron como lenguas habladas por los "pobres" y se reían de quienes si las hablaban. En España dependiendo de la zona en la que vives aparte del castellano, se habla gallego, euskera catalán, mallorquín,valenciano o aranes y ninguna se ha perdido.

El idioma español viene del latín que llevaron los romanos a la península ibérica ("Hispania", como ellos la llamaban), junto con otros avances culturales y tecnológicos que permitieron la cohesión de los pueblos celtíberos. Lo mismo pasó cuando los españoles llevaron el español a las américas, la lengua franca que les permitió por primera vez a las tribus tener conciencia de unidad. Una lengua tranquilamente puede ser vista como una "tecnología" y en el caso del español (recordemos que en total se estima que hay 600 millones de hispanoparlantes) funge además como lengua vehicular para transmitir todo un código axiológico de valores que la ecúmene hispana, como legítima heredera del legado greco-romano y la cristiandad medieval (es decir, el VERDADERO OCCIDENTE), conserva y transmite un proyecto civilizacional cualitativamente superior al que impera actualmente (el del mundo anglosajón prote$tante y calvini$ta, profundamente raci$ta y expoliador). Es importante no olvidar cuál era la situación de Filipinas cuando formaba parte del proyecto geopolítico hispano, y se beneficiaba de su posición estratégica en el pacífico, como mediador entre la Asia continental y el continente americano, recordar cosas como el Galeón de Manila, nuestra moneda común el Real de a 8 (el dólar del momento), con la cual lideramos el mundo durante 3 siglos, etc. Pero aunque renunciaran a su grandioso pasado y se olvidaran por completo de la lengua de Cervantes, y del proyecto civilizacional que una vez nos hermanó, siempre recordaremos con un profundo sentimiento de fraternidad a nuestros hermanos filipinos. Un saludo desde la Patagonia argentina!
@@mirianmendez1344 y lo mismo les pasa a ellos cuando viajan a algún país hispano. Y de hecho en EEUU muchas veces los confunden y los llaman "hispanos" o "latinos" (no te olvides que por las venas de muchos de ellos corre sangre hispanoamericana)

What happened to the Spanish language in Philippines is similar to what happened to the Italian language in Malta. In the 18th century, Malta's first language was Maltese, while Italian was their second language. In the following century, Malta would be annexed by the British Empire and the Italian language would start being displacedin favour of English. Between 1800 and 1815, 6 Maltese newspapers in Italian language disappeared, more newspapers in Italian would get founded later but none would survive that century. Entering the 20th century, Italian was still an official language in Malta but almost no one spoke it. Finally, in 1934, Italian would get their status removed as official language. We see, it's almost the same story as how Spanish ended in the Philippines.
@@Benimore After the turn of the century and in the early days of the American Occupation, the growing middle class who could afford to send their kids to school within the country but not abroad had a working proficiency in Spanish. Hispanization of the masses happened so late in the Philippines compared to her former colonies in the Americas when the Philippine Public School System was decreed by Isabel II in 1863. That should be another lengthy discussion. What precipitated the decline of the Spanish Language in the Philippines was the Manila Massacre, Liberation of Manila in 1945 and the Repatriation of Spanish nationals who had ancestral ties to the Philippines that survived WWII. The ship Plus Ultra was chartered by the caudillo of Spain, General Franco to repatriate them back to Spain and docked in Barcelona. There is a WWII memoir of the Manila Massacre survivors of 1945 in TH-cam however it is in Spanish with no English subs. Many of those who perished in the Manila Massacre were the middle class Spanish-speaking Filipinos of various racial backgrounds in the Spanish-speaking neighborhoods of Ermita, Malate and Intramuros. JP Enrile’s wife is a Manila Massacre survivor. She is in the documentary. The Philippine economy boomed just before WWII and there was an influx of Europeans trying to flee Europe in shambles and immigrated to the Philippines to participate in her economy under the US. Many Spaniards fled Spain at the peak of the Spanish Civil War in the 30s who were mostly dissidents of the Francoist Regime. One of these Spanish immigrants is world reknowned Filipino National Artist Juvenal Sanso who is Catalan and who was recently granted Filipino citizenship and still maintains his residency in Manila. In the post WWII memoir, the survivors recounted that Manila was a very cosmopolitan city and was a piece of Europe in the Orient. There were German, Portuguese and Dutch immigrants that establish little communities in Manila. The Beaux-Arts and Art Deco style modern architecture buit by the Americans and colonial architecture was very reminiscent of Europe for them ALL destroyed in WWII.
For me as a Filipino, Spain brought us a united identity (at first exclusively on Iberians then later the Natives) until the Anglo-Saxons (USA) disrupt it and purge any "Spanishness". Rizal's goal was a representation and live equally with Spain and also legacy is to unite the Malay race. However Tagalog elites ignored and followed the American's orders same as Japanese's orders during the Occupation. The Imperial Manila forced Other Tagalog and Non-Tagalog locals to assimilate into their culture like the Americans did as many locals moved to Manila. They controlled most of the national institutions, the reason why we (I'm Cebuano-speaking Visayan) preferred spoke English than Tagalog. But again, English language (that was implemented since 1902) was unpopular at the time of the American Period until the end of the WWII. Every time on the social media, some Imperial Manila individuals or groups are complaining and attacking Visayans for not/barely spoke Tagalog properly that was viral. My solution is to REFORM the National Language (Based mainly on Malay Language with Philippine and Spanish loanwords), REINSTATE the Spanish Language as Official language, REDUCE the frequency of the English Language, and MADE all Regional Philippine language as Official by their area and communities (State/Region/Province/City or Township/Barangay).
@@thomas_asunto Our national identity means respecting the diversity and fluidity of the Philippine cultures not nepotising and centralizing the Philippine culture at Spanish colonial culture. We should follow the Indonesian style Bhinneka Tunggal Ika means Unity of Diversity.

Making Spanish national language is like forcing Filipino to abandon Christianity to be Muslim or be animists to “connect to the precolonial culture” like you see from people who want to everything when it was before western influence. You just can’t bring back things from the last especially soanksh which I don’t feel was ever that vast when the Spanish were here. Philippines was an export colony and it wasn’t as spread like it was in South America. I do agree that languages like chavacano in Zamboanga who have embraced the language or some pockets of Spanish dialect I think in parts of cavity be preserved, but I feel Hispanistas or precolonial idealists just don’t get the culture that has developed for decades since these parts of Philippines history. Tagalog has obviously been a part of us since existence and English is basiclsly the new backup language. It’s not that complicated and nothing wrong with it.
We can drop English and embrace Spanish instead because every time we speak English, we somewhat reduce our Filipino national identity because English is still largely a foreign language that cannot be nationalized, while Spanish is the language of the Philippine Revolution where Jose Rizal used it as the medium to share his grievances against the excesses of the friarocracy in our country. I suggest that English be downgraded into a mere foreign language subject at the basic education level and Spanish should be the medium of instruction, while English should be only used as a medium of instruction at the higher education level.
@@JosephSolisAlcaydeAlberici Again it's like telling filipino to stop being catholic because of the past or forcing all Americans to learn native american languages cause they lived in America first. Whether or not spanish was really widespread at a point in the Philippines, the Spanish colonized us and people will rather try to stay away from that. And I personally love the spanish filipino architecture that I think is more filipino than people think and a lot of our culture has lots of spnish influence but we don't need to be very spanish like I see with some wanting Spanish to be widespread. It's best to just preserve whatever spanish language left and other filipino languages.
@@ryanbeltran9413 Spanish is not the past, but rather the present and the future where we should leverage our Hispanic cultural heritage to communicate with Spanish native speakers from Spain and Latin America. We should transform our country into a Hispanic bubble in the Asia-Pacific, just like Australia and New Zealand are considered to be Anglo-Saxon bubbles in the Asia-Pacific. If we speak Spanish again, our country will transform into an intermediary entrepot between China and Latin America like we used to have during the Manila-Acapulco galleon trade era. I believe that teaching Spanish at the early grade level is the key towards producing a multigenerational cohort of Filipinos fluent in Spanish.
@@JosephSolisAlcaydeAlberici Stupid!

You should first promote nationwide the Spanish language before advocating the use of the Spanish language in the Philippines....it would also help if you would help in the preservation and restoration of our Hispanic heritage...start in Manila, Zamboanga, Iloilo, Cebu , Bacolod , Cavite n Batangas...Hispanic influence is still alive in these provinces where Spanish language is spoken still by some people in these provinces

As a Filipino, I would love to see Spanish become widely spoken again alongside English and our native languages. I understand that many Filipinos are proud of our linguistic diversity, and I respect that. I'm not here for a debate, just to share my personal opinion. Feel free to join in if you'd like, and I appreciate your understanding and respect. Improving tourism and international relations would be greatly beneficial if Spanish speakers, including those from countries like Equatorial Guinea, didn’t have to switch to English when interacting with us. Beyond Tagalog/Filipino, English, and other Philippine languages, knowing more languages means boosting brain power, enhancing interactions, and increasing opportunities. Mga kababayan, let's keep the Philippines the most social country in Asia!
Castellano/Español: Como filipino, me encantaría que el español volviera a ser una lengua ampliamente hablada junto al inglés y nuestras lenguas nativas. Entiendo que muchos filipinos están orgullosos de nuestra diversidad lingüística y respeto eso. No estoy aquí para debatir, solo para compartir mi opinión personal. Siéntete libre de unirte si quieres y agradezco tu comprensión y respeto. Mejorar el turismo y las relaciones internacionales sería muy beneficioso si los hispanohablantes, incluidos aquellos de países como Guinea Ecuatorial, no tuvieran que cambiar al inglés al interactuar con nosotros. Además del tagalo/filipino, el inglés y otras lenguas filipinas, conocer más idiomas significa aumentar el poder cerebral, mejorar las interacciones y aumentar las oportunidades. Mga kababayan, ¡mantengamos a Filipinas como el país más sociable de Asia!
I would rather revive the Malay language as the language of diplomacy and trade with Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei a long time ago Malay language was the language of trade, royal courts and diplomacy before Spanish colonization. To make us more align with Asia specially Maritime Southeast Asia, we don't want to be isolated in Southeast Asia like Timor Leste where a country aligns with Portuguese speaking world than Southeast Asia even all the political parties of Timor Leste are speculative and skeptic at joining ASEAN because they are afraid that Timor Leste's Indonesian sphere of influence will become stronger.

Noong panahon ko sa colegio in the 80's, merong Spanish subject for two semesters kung di ako nagkakamali. Tinanggal sa curriculum. Di ko alam kung kailan at ano ang dahilan.
For me, if the propagation of the language( Spanish) didn't organically happen during the last 3 centuries of colonization, forcing Filipinos to learn it today is a lost cause. Let us just treat the language as a part of our history and shared heritage with Spain and the Hispanics.
Money can be a driving force for those who want to embark in the bilingual BPO sector. I think this only possible if there is a change on how Philippine History is taught in the education system. It is still very Anti Spain / Pro America and despite the Pro-American narrative and the colonial past with the United States, there has been no recognition and benefit in return that Filipinos deserve to receive. Spain on the other despite of her shortcomings in the distant past she has recognized all the countries of which she shares history and patrimony with by giving preferential treatment to those nationals of former colonies who seek Spanish Citizenship to 2 years. The US? Nada. Not being apologetic but from this that speaks volumes.
@@davidsanz1423 That doesn't mean we should entertain reestablishing Spanish as a national language either. We are already supposed to be moving on from our colonial relationship with English, finally treating it as a foreign language instead of the elites' language. Additionally, removing the pro-American sentiment in the education system. Just because there is still a remaining obsession with America, doesn't mean we should entertain another one with another foreign power. We should focus on our own languages, and I'm not even talking about Filipino, I'm talking about our ~180 native languages.
Spanish shouldn't be treated as a classical language like Latin or Ancient Greek, but rather as a living language that must be learned at an early age. Spanish language education needs to be massified so that our future generation of Filipinos will move out of the country to settle in Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay, in case a nuclear WWIII happens between China and the US.
@@rvat2003 the problem with the 180 native Philippine languages is that they don't have standardized orthography and grammar which makes them unsuitable to be used as mediums of instruction for STEM and social science subjects in basic and higher education, thus using English or Spanish as a medium of instruction does make sense even if we won't necessarily understand scientific jargons at academic or professional levels.
@@rvat2003 I do not personally see reinstatement happening because the oral arguments on official languages prior to the ratification of 1987 Constitution should have never happened in the first place. The damage done is impossible to rectify. Spanish however is recognized as an auxlillary language of the Philippines in the 1987 Constitutuon making it voluntary to learn and to speak. Philippine Naturalization Laws require foreign nationals to speak either English, Filipino or other Filipino languages and guess what? Spanish.🥴 Legislation is not even required to make language revitalization happen. Here in the States, Spanish remains to be a defacto second language spoken by more than 30 million people at home. We cannot contextualize colonial history with modern ideals because this was a thing in human history. Many are guilty of imperialist aspirations. Regardless, no matter how we feel sorry about this part of history, a Filipino whose ancestors were lowland and coastal-dwellers cannot be fully Filipino without the colonial times (US/Spain) that help shape the Filipino cultural identity in many ways. The only ‘unconquered’ Filipinos are the Filipinos of the highlands and of Islamic Mindanao. I do not see languages as a determinant of ones social status but a dimension of intelligence. The colonists did try to linguistically Hispanize and Anglicize the masses just before the turn of the 20th century. English and Spanish did not remain the languages spoken in the gilded parlours of the bourgeosie. Isabel II decreed the establishment of the Philippine public school system in 1863 and started teaching Spanish to the masses. The Americans built on the public school established by the Spaniards and started teaching English to the public. I personally think English and Spanish as Filipino languages as well. Exotic but adopted by the founders and leaders of the nation. They’re just part of us. The Filipino Languages are so well-established and engrained in ethnic communities. The decline of the Spanish language in the Philippines was precipitated by World War II during the Manila Massacre and the Liberation of Manila in 1945. There is a WWII memoir in TH-cam about this unfortunately there are no subs. JP Enrile’s wife is a living survivor and was interviewed in this documentary. I recently purchased Crísalida, a collection of beautiful Filipino poetry in Spanish by Fernando Maria Guerrero-Filipino lawyer, polyglot and assemblyman in the First Philippine Assembly in 1907. I am not a PH History and Spanish major. I learned Spanish from constant contact with Mexican and Puerto Rican colleagues who we share history and culture with. I recently read the chronicles of Saturnino Urios, SJ on his mission to evangelize interior Mindanao. His was a real Indiana Jones and I enjoyed reading it a lot especially when he described how the natives were like in his adventures. The exile of the Marquis of Tabuerniga who bore sons from a native woman of Bacoor, Cavite who were heirs to the Marquessate but died young-making them the first Filipinos who were to inherit the House of Bracamonte. All of which were documented in Spanish supposedly accessible for free online but virtually inaccessible by many Filipinos due to language barrier. Due to biases, it’s kindda sad that many Filipinos today cannot enjoy them directly from its unabridged form.

@@ChavacanoZamboangueño Making Chavacano as national language in the Philippines means endangering and threatening the diversity of Austronesian languages of the Philippines.
I see no point why Chabacano? Why cuz it's Spanish Creole? dude, we're all living in some small archipelago and we can't just fit in with just a creole. And I do definately support of reinstating the Spanish language as the LinguaFranca of the Philippines, because it's not a native Philippine austronesian language, and it made the Philippines form a single identity as Filipinos
Filipinas no debería tener un idioma oficial debido a la gran diversidad de lenguas en cada región del país. Al igual que en Estados Unidos, donde no hay un idioma oficial, sino una lengua franca, que es el inglés, se permite traducir documentos a otros idiomas más utilizados en cada estado, como el español. La decisión de Manuel L. Quezon ha sido perjudicial para las demás lenguas de Filipinas, y con el tiempo, el 'Tagalog' se ha vuelto imperialista. Aunque hoy en día es una verdadera lengua franca, la idea sería mantener tanto el Tagalog como el inglés como lenguas francas, permitiendo que otras regiones usen sus propias lenguas junto con el inglés. El español podría seguir siendo una lengua cultural y de herencia hispana. Filipinas es un país muy diverso, por lo que debería encontrar la unidad en la diversidad. Paz del Señor a todos.

Nope, this is ridiculous. Keep spanish away from us. It is not beneficial in this modern world. But I do agree with him saying that Tagalog/Filipino subject should only be taught in tagalog speaking regions. It is pointless for us non-native speakers to learn tagalog/filipino, it is a waste of time and resources. We already have English as a national language and that alone suffice
Not a waste of time bro, Spanish ,magagamit mo Spanish if for example sa East Coast sa USA maraming Latino community Dyan, , Saka important Rin Spanish sa mga Seaman. Remember even our National Hero spoke Spanish and even studied in Spain. Even our First President spoke Spanish in one of his speech . It will boost our Trade partners with Latin America and Europe if we revive the Spanish Language. Think Global pre , kasi un makaka buti sa Bansa natin. Actually it was the Americans who prohibited Spanish and instead pushed English Language to be taught during American Time. I don't disagree with that but they should have left Spanish Language still to be taught in schools kasi Malaki advantage . Think of benefits pre ,not the negatives. For example here in the Call Center BPOs here, Bilingual Spanish Agents are being paid more compared sa ordinary call center agents. Think of the Positive impact to the Economy bro.
Spanish is a Filipino language, not just a foreign language, so we should instill a sense of ownership when speaking and thinking in Spanish like we are doing with English right now. English should have been downgraded to a mere language subject in the basic education level and Spanish should have been the medium of instruction, while in the higher education, English should be the co-equal medium of instruction after Spanish.

Why Philippines is not a Spanish-speaking country anymore?
The Philippines is more like a collection of "Paraguays."
Paraguay was a Spanish colony that specifically insisted on preserving the local indigenous language Guaraní as the main everyday first language, and using Spanish as a second language of administration/education.
The Philippines was a collection of "Paraguays" because the Ilocos area used Ilocano, the ethnically-Tagalog areas used Tagalog, the ethnically-Kapampangan areas used Kapampangan, the ethnically-Cebuano areas used Cebuano, etc, etc, etc. Spanish was the second language used for administration/education, but the local language remained the first/everyday language.
Second languages are easier to replace. When the Americans came, the second language of administration/education which was Spanish got replaced with English.
If Paraguay got colonized by another European country and they replaced Spanish as the second language with the language of that other European country, then Paraguay would have become like the Philippines.
For me: the best realistic solutions would be:
1. Abolish the National Language provision and make all Philippine languages official languages, including Hokkien, Arabic, Spanish, and English. Having de facto languages would be enough, not de jure languages.
2. Adopt the language policy of BARMM, they have interpreters and translators in different languages.
Spain is starting recognize its regional languages even more, like Catalan, Basque, Galician, & even Valencian, thanks to its EU membership.
Estoy muy de acuerdo con este comentario.
the more I learn foreign languages, the more I'm loving my own native tongue :)
So why listen to a Filipino in paper only, as he said he is argentinian at heart - not a filipino
For now I just want to know why he is yelling? The other guy is talking calmly.
How can I even start? There's so much to say about this man because I've fought with him on this and other platforms many times. I will point out his problematic ideas and follow up on fundamental principles (some he does follow) that the Philippines should improve on. TL;DR available below.
1. *_He definitely has a wild colonial mentality._* Everything follows with that. Just see his comment about having an Argentinian heart, aka one of the whitest in Latin America. When you asked about the loss of native languages in Mexico, he couldn't answer because he knows it was the price for the "national identity" and he doesn't care if it happens to us too. Those overflowing with colonial mentality SHOULD NOT handle our country's policies.
2. *_He has always been against the mother tongue-based multilingual education._* Several experts have already educated (and corrected) him about this but he is always cornered to the point he just spits out ad hominems to them. Quite ironic because he is Bisaya and seems to agree that Tagalog is being promoted in favor of other native languages.
3. *_He views Filipino children purely as potential exports abroad._* You can see a glimpse of it in this video. He wants the government to mandate other foreign languages, especially Spanish AND Mandarin, as early as Kinder to "make them as fluent as native speakers". For what, you ask, purely so that they will be perfect UNACCENTED BPO agents. Wow. And when you ask him how about the native languages, he either doesn't care about their inclusion or wants them to remain in the household, with no place in higher society.
4. *_What he does get right is that Tagalog (in the contemporary form of Filipino) is giving ethnic Tagalogs an unfair advantage._* It has been replacing the languages of many indigenous communities such as the various Ayta, Agta, and Mangyan but now it is even encroaching on Kapampangan and Bikol areas, both of which are major languages mind you. Officializing this dynamic through the national language will repeat what Spanish and English did to the Americas. To be fair, this is also true with other big Philippine languages such as Bisaya (replacing the languages of the various Lumad), Ilokano (replacing Pangasinan, the Cordilleran and Cagayan languages), and Hiligaynon (the Inete language).
The Philippines should improve and follow the following:
1. *_Do not reduce languages based on their "linguistic capital"._* Note how he talked about how foreign languages are the key to the economy. If we reduce languages this way, of course, smaller languages would have less economic potential. But that's not their fault, it is because we don't give ample opportunities for our languages to serve their communities in education, business, media, etc. To improve this we can also:
2. *_Solidify and improve mother tongue-based multilingual education._* This way, all languages are equal and our relationship with Filipino and foreign languages would be appropriate: we keep speaking our own languages and we improve on these second languages without glorifying them. [The failure of the MTB-MLE policy was not its nature but the lack of funding and support from stakeholders]
3. *_Give our ~180 languages respective official status._* A very simple and appropriate yet unpracticed policy among the regions. Only La Union has an explicit policy protecting Ilokano and its minority languages. If we have policies protecting our languages (which is very appropriate in a post-colonial multiethnic country), industries will follow up on this, reducing the imbalance between local and foreign languages.
4. *_Embrace and produce platforms for said native languages instead of entertaining more colonial b_**_#llsh1t_**_._* It's unfortunate how a problematic figure like him is being given a big platform while the discussion and appreciation of our living languages aren't. People can't even think of one that explicitly discusses the linguistics and intricacies of our languages without the prescriptive and outdated ideas (i.e. Kara David's videos about Filipino).
5. *_Educate ourselves about the difference between a national language and an official language._* National languages are supposed to represent their respective peoples while official languages are those used in official documents. They often overlap but the difference should be distinguished. The funny thing is, it is only in SE Asia that multilingual countries opt for one language with "national" status while Latin America and African nations have many "national" languages because they treat each group as a distinct group albeit being united in one state. This is a problem in the region because we blindly follow the nation-state model of European and East Asian countries when most of them are relatively homogenous countries unlike ours. Actually, all of them have regional and minority languages as well but look at how they treat those due to this one nation one language mentality. It is not required but we should seriously think about maybe giving all our languages national status and relegating Filipino as the "country-wide lingua franca". This is mainly an issue of semantics and definitions but they do have power and consequences.
6. *_Push for Filipino's Frankenstein nature to further distinguish it from Tagalog._* Other ethnic groups will always hate Filipino if it stays practically the same as Tagalog, especially since the KWF and Filipino teachers are always in denial of the fact that they are still basically the same. Yes, they are supposed to be different but that's because it is mandated that we will enrich Filipino with features from other Philippine languages as well. However, because of the artificial nature of this task, it is going to be difficult. But you already see Filipino proponents prescribing "correct usage" such as instead of , no -nan suffix, etc. so why aren't they prescribing instead of for example. We should either seriously improve Filipino to embrace it without unfair treatment of Tagalog or simply admit that they're the same and just choose a more appropriate national multilingual law.
TL;DR: Ignore this man, he treats our languages as inferior to foreign lingua francas and views children as resources to export. Instead, follow personalities WHO ARE ACTUAL LANGUAGE EXPERTS that promote decolonial and pro-Philippine language policies.
💯
What's wrong if someone opts for teaching foreign languages at an early age (from preschool) over native languages, especially if the latter aren't fully standardized and suitable to be used as mediums of instruction for STEM and HUMSS subjects? We have a generation of Filipino school-aged children speaking English as their first language which MTB-MLE will hamstring their academic development in the process. MTB-MLE was a belated language education policy meant to say "f*ck you" to parents who opt to have their children grow up speaking English as their first language at home. Wag nalang ipilit ang MTB-MLE sa mga bata na Inglishero na talaga o kaya sa mga bata na ang mga magulang ay gusto nila na sila magmigrate abroad. Anong silbi ng MTB-MLE kung may mga parents at ang kanilang school-aged children ay biglang lilipat ng tirahan na ibang panig ng bansa (from Tagalog to Cebuano-speaking area or vice versa)? Sagutin mo ang tanong ko kung paano i-implement ang MTB-MLE kung palipat-lipat ng tirahan ang mga school-aged children dahil ang nature ng trabajo ng magulang nila ay palipat-lipat ang workplace assignment.
You have to remember that foreign languages should be properly taught in the school system with the end goal of attaining oral proficiency (B1-B2) and TBH, you cannot achieve that through conscious-based adult university foreign language education. Hindi yan madala within three months or one or two semesters of elective foreign language class as college para maging makata sa foreign language inaaral mo, kundi kailangan ng constant exposure (24/7) na hindi talaga kaya ng isang adult, unless lilipat sa bansang kung saan sinasalita siya as native language, kaya nga sa second language education context, dapat gawing medium of instruction ang Spanish, tulad ng ating ginagawa sa English.
FYI, deprived po ako ng cultural identity kasi hindi naman talaga 100% Cebuano Bisaya ang mother tongue as pamilya ko, kundi nagsasalita kami sa pamilya ng Spanish as lingua franca (L1 pa sa ibang ninuno ko) until as generation ng grandparents ko (matagal na po silang patay), kaya heritage language ko ang Spanish, ok. Hindi ako nagkaroon ng pagkakataon na matuto ng Spanish as L2 sa ating school system noong primary school student pa ako dahil pinipilit ang Tagalog aka Filipino sa kapanahonan ko, kaya para hindi maulit ang masamang karanasan ko sa buhay, isinasapuso ko ang Spanish language restoration advocacy, hindi lang dahil sa historical nostalgia purposes, kundi gusto ko na ang susunod na generacion ng mga Pilipino ay makaahon sa kahirapan at iwanan ang ating bansang Pilipinas dahil malapit na tayo sasakupin ng China at ang Argentina ang tamang bansa sa mundo para gawing second homeland (transplanted) ng sambayanang Pilipino.

Hola, pienso que estás equivocado puesto que México no perdió sus lenguas indígenas por culpa de hablar español, simplemente las consideraron como lenguas habladas por los "pobres" y se reían de quienes si las hablaban.

El idioma español viene del latín que llevaron los romanos a la península ibérica ("Hispania", como ellos la llamaban), junto con otros avances culturales y tecnológicos que permitieron la cohesión de los pueblos celtíberos. Lo mismo pasó cuando los españoles llevaron el español a las américas, la lengua franca que les permitió por primera vez a las tribus tener conciencia de unidad. Una lengua tranquilamente puede ser vista como una "tecnología" y en el caso del español (recordemos que en total se estima que hay 600 millones de hispanoparlantes) funge además como lengua vehicular para transmitir todo un código axiológico de valores que la ecúmene hispana, como legítima heredera del legado greco-romano y la cristiandad medieval (es decir, el VERDADERO OCCIDENTE), conserva y transmite un proyecto civilizacional cualitativamente superior al que impera actualmente (el del mundo anglosajón prote$tante y calvini$ta, profundamente raci$ta y expoliador). Es importante no olvidar cuál era la situación de Filipinas cuando formaba parte del proyecto geopolítico hispano, y se beneficiaba de su posición estratégica en el pacífico, como mediador entre la Asia continental y el continente americano, recordar cosas como el Galeón de Manila, nuestra moneda común el Real de a 8 (el dólar del momento), con la cual lideramos el mundo durante 3 siglos, etc. Pero aunque renunciaran a su grandioso pasado y se olvidaran por completo de la lengua de Cervantes, y del proyecto civilizacional que una vez nos hermanó, siempre recordaremos con un profundo sentimiento de fraternidad a nuestros hermanos filipinos. Un saludo desde la Patagonia argentina!

What happened to the Spanish language in Philippines is similar to what happened to the Italian language in Malta.
In the 18th century, Malta's first language was Maltese, while Italian was their second language.
In the following century, Malta would be annexed by the British Empire and the Italian language would start being displacedin favour of English. Between 1800 and 1815, 6 Maltese newspapers in Italian language disappeared, more newspapers in Italian would get founded later but none would survive that century.
Entering the 20th century, Italian was still an official language in Malta but almost no one spoke it. Finally, in 1934, Italian would get their status removed as official language. We see, it's almost the same story as how Spanish ended in the Philippines.
@@Benimore After the turn of the century and in the early days of the American Occupation, the growing middle class who could afford to send their kids to school within the country but not abroad had a working proficiency in Spanish.
Hispanization of the masses happened so late in the Philippines compared to her former colonies in the Americas when the Philippine Public School System was decreed by Isabel II in 1863. That should be another lengthy discussion.
What precipitated the decline of the Spanish Language in the Philippines was the Manila Massacre, Liberation of Manila in 1945 and the Repatriation of Spanish nationals who had ancestral ties to the Philippines that survived WWII. The ship Plus Ultra was chartered by the caudillo of Spain, General Franco to repatriate them back to Spain and docked in Barcelona.
There is a WWII memoir of the Manila Massacre survivors of 1945 in TH-cam however it is in Spanish with no English subs. Many of those who perished in the Manila Massacre were the middle class Spanish-speaking Filipinos of various racial backgrounds in the Spanish-speaking neighborhoods of Ermita, Malate and Intramuros. JP Enrile’s wife is a Manila Massacre survivor. She is in the documentary.
The Philippine economy boomed just before WWII and there was an influx of Europeans trying to flee Europe in shambles and immigrated to the Philippines to participate in her economy under the US. Many Spaniards fled Spain at the peak of the Spanish Civil War in the 30s who were mostly dissidents of the Francoist Regime. One of these Spanish immigrants is world reknowned Filipino National Artist Juvenal Sanso who is Catalan and who was recently granted Filipino citizenship and still maintains his residency in Manila. In the post WWII memoir, the survivors recounted that Manila was a very cosmopolitan city and was a piece of Europe in the Orient. There were German, Portuguese and Dutch immigrants that establish little communities in Manila. The Beaux-Arts and Art Deco style modern architecture buit by the Americans and colonial architecture was very reminiscent of Europe for them ALL destroyed in WWII.

@@drei9921 That's called Hispanista's Insane Demand!
Thank you for giving us that slightest idea how an indio speak Español 😂😂
Nah dude
For me as a Filipino, Spain brought us a united identity (at first exclusively on Iberians then later the Natives) until the Anglo-Saxons (USA) disrupt it and purge any "Spanishness". Rizal's goal was a representation and live equally with Spain and also legacy is to unite the Malay race. However Tagalog elites ignored and followed the American's orders same as Japanese's orders during the Occupation.
The Imperial Manila forced Other Tagalog and Non-Tagalog locals to assimilate into their culture like the Americans did as many locals moved to Manila. They controlled most of the national institutions, the reason why we (I'm Cebuano-speaking Visayan) preferred spoke English than Tagalog. But again, English language (that was implemented since 1902) was unpopular at the time of the American Period until the end of the WWII. Every time on the social media, some Imperial Manila individuals or groups are complaining and attacking Visayans for not/barely spoke Tagalog properly that was viral.
My solution is to REFORM the National Language (Based mainly on Malay Language with Philippine and Spanish loanwords), REINSTATE the Spanish Language as Official language, REDUCE the frequency of the English Language, and MADE all Regional Philippine language as Official by their area and communities (State/Region/Province/City or Township/Barangay).

Making Spanish national language is like forcing Filipino to abandon Christianity to be Muslim or be animists to “connect to the precolonial culture” like you see from people who want to everything when it was before western influence.
You just can’t bring back things from the last especially soanksh which I don’t feel was ever that vast when the Spanish were here.
Philippines was an export colony and it wasn’t as spread like it was in South America.
I do agree that languages like chavacano in Zamboanga who have embraced the language or some pockets of Spanish dialect I think in parts of cavity be preserved, but I feel Hispanistas or precolonial idealists just don’t get the culture that has developed for decades since these parts of Philippines history.
Tagalog has obviously been a part of us since existence and English is basiclsly the new backup language. It’s not that complicated and nothing wrong with it.
We can drop English and embrace Spanish instead because every time we speak English, we somewhat reduce our Filipino national identity because English is still largely a foreign language that cannot be nationalized, while Spanish is the language of the Philippine Revolution where Jose Rizal used it as the medium to share his grievances against the excesses of the friarocracy in our country. I suggest that English be downgraded into a mere foreign language subject at the basic education level and Spanish should be the medium of instruction, while English should be only used as a medium of instruction at the higher education level.

And I personally love the spanish filipino architecture that I think is more filipino than people think and a lot of our culture has lots of spnish influence but we don't need to be very spanish like I see with some wanting Spanish to be widespread. It's best to just preserve whatever spanish language left and other filipino languages.
@@ryanbeltran9413 Spanish is not the past, but rather the present and the future where we should leverage our Hispanic cultural heritage to communicate with Spanish native speakers from Spain and Latin America. We should transform our country into a Hispanic bubble in the Asia-Pacific, just like Australia and New Zealand are considered to be Anglo-Saxon bubbles in the Asia-Pacific. If we speak Spanish again, our country will transform into an intermediary entrepot between China and Latin America like we used to have during the Manila-Acapulco galleon trade era.
I believe that teaching Spanish at the early grade level is the key towards producing a multigenerational cohort of Filipinos fluent in Spanish.

As a Filipino, I would love to see Spanish become widely spoken again alongside English and our native languages. I understand that many Filipinos are proud of our linguistic diversity, and I respect that.

Improving tourism and international relations would be greatly beneficial if Spanish speakers, including those from countries like Equatorial Guinea, didn’t have to switch to English when interacting with us. Beyond Tagalog/Filipino, English, and other Philippine languages, knowing more languages means boosting brain power, enhancing interactions, and increasing opportunities.
Mga kababayan, let's keep the Philippines the most social country in Asia!
Castellano/Español:
Como filipino, me encantaría que el español volviera a ser una lengua ampliamente hablada junto al inglés y nuestras lenguas nativas. Entiendo que muchos filipinos están orgullosos de nuestra diversidad lingüística y respeto eso.
No estoy aquí para debatir, solo para compartir mi opinión personal. Siéntete libre de unirte si quieres y agradezco tu comprensión y respeto.
Mejorar el turismo y las relaciones internacionales sería muy beneficioso si los hispanohablantes, incluidos aquellos de países como Guinea Ecuatorial, no tuvieran que cambiar al inglés al interactuar con nosotros. Además del tagalo/filipino, el inglés y otras lenguas filipinas, conocer más idiomas significa aumentar el poder cerebral, mejorar las interacciones y aumentar las oportunidades.
Mga kababayan, ¡mantengamos a Filipinas como el país más sociable de Asia!
I would rather revive the Malay language as the language of diplomacy and trade with Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei a long time ago Malay language was the language of trade, royal courts and diplomacy before Spanish colonization. To make us more align with Asia specially Maritime Southeast Asia, we don't want to be isolated in Southeast Asia like Timor Leste where a country aligns with Portuguese speaking world than Southeast Asia even all the political parties of Timor Leste are speculative and skeptic at joining ASEAN because they are afraid that Timor Leste's Indonesian sphere of influence will become stronger.

For me, if the propagation of the language( Spanish) didn't organically happen during the last 3 centuries of colonization, forcing Filipinos to learn it today is a lost cause. Let us just treat the language as a part of our history and shared heritage with Spain and the Hispanics.
Money can be a driving force for those who want to embark in the bilingual BPO sector. I think this only possible if there is a change on how Philippine History is taught in the education system. It is still very Anti Spain / Pro America and despite the Pro-American narrative and the colonial past with the United States, there has been no recognition and benefit in return that Filipinos deserve to receive. Spain on the other despite of her shortcomings in the distant past she has recognized all the countries of which she shares history and patrimony with by giving preferential treatment to those nationals of former colonies who seek Spanish Citizenship to 2 years. The US? Nada. Not being apologetic but from this that speaks volumes.
@@davidsanz1423 That doesn't mean we should entertain reestablishing Spanish as a national language either. We are already supposed to be moving on from our colonial relationship with English, finally treating it as a foreign language instead of the elites' language. Additionally, removing the pro-American sentiment in the education system. Just because there is still a remaining obsession with America, doesn't mean we should entertain another one with another foreign power. We should focus on our own languages, and I'm not even talking about Filipino, I'm talking about our ~180 native languages.
Spanish shouldn't be treated as a classical language like Latin or Ancient Greek, but rather as a living language that must be learned at an early age. Spanish language education needs to be massified so that our future generation of Filipinos will move out of the country to settle in Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay, in case a nuclear WWIII happens between China and the US.
@@rvat2003 the problem with the 180 native Philippine languages is that they don't have standardized orthography and grammar which makes them unsuitable to be used as mediums of instruction for STEM and social science subjects in basic and higher education, thus using English or Spanish as a medium of instruction does make sense even if we won't necessarily understand scientific jargons at academic or professional levels.
@@rvat2003 I do not personally see reinstatement happening because the oral arguments on official languages prior to the ratification of 1987 Constitution should have never happened in the first place. The damage done is impossible to rectify. Spanish however is recognized as an auxlillary language of the Philippines in the 1987 Constitutuon making it voluntary to learn and to speak. Philippine Naturalization Laws require foreign nationals to speak either English, Filipino or other Filipino languages and guess what? Spanish.🥴
Legislation is not even required to make language revitalization happen. Here in the States, Spanish remains to be a defacto second language spoken by more than 30 million people at home.
We cannot contextualize colonial history with modern ideals because this was a thing in human history. Many are guilty of imperialist aspirations. Regardless, no matter how we feel sorry about this part of history, a Filipino whose ancestors were lowland and coastal-dwellers cannot be fully Filipino without the colonial times (US/Spain) that help shape the Filipino cultural identity in many ways. The only ‘unconquered’ Filipinos are the Filipinos of the highlands and of Islamic Mindanao.
I do not see languages as a determinant of ones social status but a dimension of intelligence. The colonists did try to linguistically Hispanize and Anglicize the masses just before the turn of the 20th century. English and Spanish did not remain the languages spoken in the gilded parlours of the bourgeosie. Isabel II decreed the establishment of the Philippine public school system in 1863 and started teaching Spanish to the masses. The Americans built on the public school established by the Spaniards and started teaching English to the public. I personally think English and Spanish as Filipino languages as well. Exotic but adopted by the founders and leaders of the nation. They’re just part of us. The Filipino Languages are so well-established and engrained in ethnic communities.
The decline of the Spanish language in the Philippines was precipitated by World War II during the Manila Massacre and the Liberation of Manila in 1945.
There is a WWII memoir in TH-cam about this unfortunately there are no subs. JP Enrile’s wife is a living survivor and was interviewed in this documentary.
I recently purchased Crísalida, a collection of beautiful Filipino poetry in Spanish by Fernando Maria Guerrero-Filipino lawyer, polyglot and assemblyman in the First Philippine Assembly in 1907.
I am not a PH History and Spanish major. I learned Spanish from constant contact with Mexican and Puerto Rican colleagues who we share history and culture with.
I recently read the chronicles of Saturnino Urios, SJ on his mission to evangelize interior Mindanao. His was a real Indiana Jones and I enjoyed reading it a lot especially when he described how the natives were like in his adventures. The exile of the Marquis of Tabuerniga who bore sons from a native woman of Bacoor, Cavite who were heirs to the Marquessate but died young-making them the first Filipinos who were to inherit the House of Bracamonte. All of which were documented in Spanish supposedly accessible for free online but virtually inaccessible by many Filipinos due to language barrier. Due to biases, it’s kindda sad that many Filipinos today cannot enjoy them directly from its unabridged form.
well that was certainly an experience

Bravo! Pep
El tienes razon
LoL watching this in the same place HAHA.
Filipinas no debería tener un idioma oficial debido a la gran diversidad de lenguas en cada región del país. Al igual que en Estados Unidos, donde no hay un idioma oficial, sino una lengua franca, que es el inglés, se permite traducir documentos a otros idiomas más utilizados en cada estado, como el español. La decisión de Manuel L. Quezon ha sido perjudicial para las demás lenguas de Filipinas, y con el tiempo, el 'Tagalog' se ha vuelto imperialista. Aunque hoy en día es una verdadera lengua franca, la idea sería mantener tanto el Tagalog como el inglés como lenguas francas, permitiendo que otras regiones usen sus propias lenguas junto con el inglés. El español podría seguir siendo una lengua cultural y de herencia hispana. Filipinas es un país muy diverso, por lo que debería encontrar la unidad en la diversidad. Paz del Señor a todos.

Nope, this is ridiculous. Keep spanish away from us. It is not beneficial in this modern world. But I do agree with him saying that Tagalog/Filipino subject should only be taught in tagalog speaking regions. It is pointless for us non-native speakers to learn tagalog/filipino, it is a waste of time and resources. We already have English as a national language and that alone suffice
Not a waste of time bro, Spanish ,magagamit mo Spanish if for example sa East Coast sa USA maraming Latino community Dyan, , Saka important Rin Spanish sa mga Seaman. Remember even our National Hero spoke Spanish and even studied in Spain. Even our First President spoke Spanish in one of his speech . It will boost our Trade partners with Latin America and Europe if we revive the Spanish Language. Think Global pre , kasi un makaka buti sa Bansa natin. Actually it was the Americans who prohibited Spanish and instead pushed English Language to be taught during American Time. I don't disagree with that but they should have left Spanish Language still to be taught in schools kasi Malaki advantage . Think of benefits pre ,not the negatives. For example here in the Call Center BPOs here, Bilingual Spanish Agents are being paid more compared sa ordinary call center agents. Think of the Positive impact to the Economy bro.
Spanish is a Filipino language, not just a foreign language, so we should instill a sense of ownership when speaking and thinking in Spanish like we are doing with English right now. English should have been downgraded to a mere language subject in the basic education level and Spanish should have been the medium of instruction, while in the higher education, English should be the co-equal medium of instruction after Spanish.
