Instead of doing the hard work to make that happened, government officials settled on Tagalog since it was already in use in the capitol region. Unfortunately, in 2012, DepEd removed English as the language used for teaching students and replaced it with useless Tagalog. Remember, in the Philippines the judicial branch uses English for court cases, and to be a politician you must be able to read and write in English. Strange that they’d remove English from being used for teaching…

Thank you, Liv, and thank you for bringing the LotM readers’ attention to the LWPH’s recent report mapping translations that they have done so far. While there is clearly more work to be done at the national level to ensure inclusivity of all ethnolinguistic groups in the country especially with information that impacts on everyone’s health and well-being, it is nonetheless quite encouraging and heartening to see how grassroots efforts, especially those initiated by local linguists, fill the gap. The relevance and significance of sociolinguists’s work can never be overemphasized.

It’s fantastic to read more about your research collaboration and to see examples of the data involved. Blog readers may be interested in a map which Language Warriors PH released few days ago via their Twitter account. The map was produced in collboration with the UP Geography Department and shows the current number of translated materials per province (https://twitter.com/AsiaLangsOnline/status/1286216895608152064). It’s an impressive visualistion of just how many languages are represented, and the enorm resources and logistics involved for grassroots initiatives to produce and disseminate translations where they are needed most.
