Usapang Bayan: National Language Month (Buwan ng Wika): National language is the foundation of cultural values and identity of a country and its people.

                       National Language Month August 2026 (Buwan ng Wika)

National language is the foundation of cultural values and identity of a country and its people. 

Formerly, Observing Linggo ng Wika in a Play School

Buwan ng Wikang Pambansa, simply known as Buwan ng Wika and formerly and still referred to as Linggo ng Wika, is a month-long annual observance in the Philippines held every August to promote the national language, Filipino.

Pilipino is no longer a required subject in college
The Filipino language is no longer a required subject in college. The Supreme Court upheld the removal of mandatory Filipino language and literature subjects from college curricula, which has sparked significant debate and concern among advocacy groups regarding cultural implications and job losses for Filipino language teachers. The decision allows colleges to determine their own language offerings, reflecting a shift in educational policies.

-----------------------------------------------------

College and university professors in Filipino are up in arms against the memorandum of the Commission on Higher Education/CHED Memorandum Order (CMO) No. 20, Series of 2013. This memorandum aims to remove Filipino as a subject to be taught in college by 2016 as part of the new General Education Curriculum (GEC).

CMO No. 20, Series of 2013, which pertains to the Revised General Education Curriculum (GEC), is still in effect. However, its implementation has been subject to some adjustments and legal challenges. While the Supreme Court ultimately upheld its constitutionality, a temporary restraining order (TRO) was previously issued, causing some changes to its implementation, particularly regarding the inclusion of Filipino as a core course. (See Annex below)

“Removing Filipino as a subject in the new GEC is not just a local issue; it is a moral issue that goes against the integrity of our race.” – Prof. Patrocinio Villafuerte, professor and writer. (From "Removing Filipino as a subject in college: A betrayal in the name of business?" By Ina A R Silverio)

Poem by Dr Jose Rizal on the importance of language

TO MY FELLOW CHILDREN (Sa Aking Mga Kababata, 1869)

To My Fellow Children
Whenever people of a country truly love
The language which by heav'n they were taught to use
That country also surely liberty pursue
As does the bird which soars to freer space above.

For language is the final judge and referee
Upon the people in the land where it holds sway;
In truth our human race resembles in this way
The other living beings born in liberty.

Whoever knows not how to love his native tongue
Is worse than any best or evil smelling fish.
To make our language richer ought to be our wish
The same as any mother loves to feed her young.

Tagalog and the Latin language are the same
And English and Castilian and the angels' tongue;
And God, whose watchful care o'er all is flung,
Has given us His blessing in the speech we calim,

Our mother tongue, like all the highest tht we know
Had alphabet and letters of its very own;
But these were lost -- by furious waves were overthrown
Like bancas in the stormy sea, long years ago.

As Filipinos, we have the responsibility to love, to teach and to live by our mother language because by it we are united as one nation; driven by words that sparked the patriotism of our ancestors. This poem is full of peace, realization and insights and in it, a child's pure love for his country is shown. And to wonder, if at this age Rizal has already shown grave importance for our language, how much more... Should we readers... Demonstrate our love for our mother tongue? Filipino youth, men and women... Once there was a time in our childhood that we have given a thing so much value, love and care that we did not let others touch nor to steal that important thing. Now, a challenge has been raised by Pepe. Will you rise up for the challenge of using our language and show unfailing love for this gift given by God through our motherland? Or accept the fact that you are worse than any best or evil smelling fish, ashamed that the native tongue is obsolete and boring to use? Internet source

The famous poem was a nationalistic undertaking to promote the usage of Tagalog language by the Filipino people. The poem “To My Fellow Children” was believed to be the national hero’s first written Tagalog poem at the age of eight.

Removal of Filipino as a core subject in college

CHED Memorandum Order No. 20, Series of 2013, which revised the General Education Curriculum (GEC) and sparked controversy for potentially removing Filipino as a core subject in college, is still in effect but with some modifications. While the Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of CMO 20, according to the Philippine News Agency, there were legal challenges and a temporary restraining order (TRO) issued by the Supreme Court, which led to adjustments in its implementation.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Initial Controversy:
CMO 20 aimed to streamline the GEC and align it with the K to 12 program, leading to the reduction of some general education courses, including Filipino.

Supreme Court Ruling:
The Supreme Court ultimately ruled that CMO 20 was constitutional, but not before a TRO was issued against the implementation of the provisions excluding Filipino and Panitikan as core courses.

Adjusted Implementation:
In response to the TRO and other concerns, CHED issued clarifications and adjustments. This included maintaining the existing requirements of Filipino (9 units for humanities, social sciences, and communication majors, and 6 units for others) as per previous CMOs (CMO No. 59, s. 1996, and CMO No. 4, s. 1997) during the pendency of the TRO.

Ongoing Review:
CHED has also deferred the inclusion of the 9 units of GE electives as prescribed in CMO 20, Series of 2013, to allow flexibility in the GE curriculum while the TRO is in effect and awaiting the Supreme Court's final decision.

Impact on Higher Education Institutions:
All higher education institutions (HEIs) are expected to take note of and continue implementing the provisions of CMO 20, while also being mindful of the adjustments and clarifications issued by CHED in response to the legal challenges.

Future Directions:
CHED is actively studying the issues raised by education stakeholders and will continue to monitor and assess the implementation of the GEC, including a review of the program.

In essence, while CMO 20 remains the guiding document for the GEC, its implementation has been modified to accommodate concerns about the role of Filipino in higher education.  AI Overview, Internet

“We must have something to cling to. Some things must not change.”– Dr Arturo B Rotor

“We must have something to cling to.

Some things must not change.”

– Dr Arturo B Rotor

 Dr. Rotor served as the Executive Secretary under President Manuel L Quezon, and subsequently under President Sergio Osmena.

 Awarding Ceremony, Introduction of Dr Arturo B Rotor

The Arturo B Rotor Memorial Awards for Literature, Nov 26, 2022

Distinguished officers, and members of the Philippine College of Physicians, and PCP Foundation; organizers and participants to the Rotor Literary Awards; guests, ladies and gentlemen.  I greet you all a  pleasant and memorable evening.

What I wish to convey is a message of Dr Arturo B Rotor (PHOTO), 5 years before he died at the age of 80 in 1988. “We must have something to cling to. Some things must not change.” 

Dr. Arturo B. Rotor was a very busy person, all around and dynamic - a medical doctor, the first Filipino allergist, internationally acclaimed short story writer, horticulturist, musician, and former Executive Secretary of the Philippine War Cabinet under Presidents Quezon and Osmeña.

Dr Rotor was a graduate of the University of the Philippines  College of Medicine and Conservatory of Music, earning two degrees at the same time. His short stories "Dahong Palay" (1928), "Zita" (1930), and "The Wound and the Scar" (1937) were published by the Philippine Book Guild, which won him acclaim. Recognizing his immense contribution to Philippine literature as one of the country's greatest short story writers of the 20th century, Dr. Rotor was awarded the Republic Cultural Heritage Award in 1966.

In 1941, upon the Japanese invasion of the Philippines, Pres. Manuel L. Quezon established the Commonwealth government-in-exile in Washington, D.C. There, Dr. Rotor served as the War Cabinet's Executive Secretary. He continued to serve in this capacity until the reestablishment of the Commonwealth government in Manila in March 1945.

He resumed his medical practice, and in 1948, he published his research at John Hopkins Medicine, about the rare form of jaundice, which was soon named after him—the Rotor Syndrome. 

He served as director of the UP Postgraduate School of Medicine, and was a pioneer of Allergology. To promote allergy/immunology as subspecialty, Dr Rotor founded the Philippine Society of Allergology and Immunology (which was reorganized into the Philippine Society of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology or PSAAI).

While practicing medicine, Dr Rotor continued his literary pursuits. His "Confidentially, Doctor"(1965) column with the Manila Times, and his older works republished in 1973, and "The Men Who Play God" (1983) were all inspired by his experience among patients, with anecdotes and stories of compassion and courage – and humor.

Dr Arturo Rotor died in 1988 from cancer and was survived by his wife Emma Unson, who taught college mathematics and physics at Assumption. Thy had no children.

Three breakthroughs in science and technology within Dr Rotor’s life

· First breakthrough is the splitting of the atom, which led to the invention and subsequent detonation of the atomic bomb that ended WWII, and marked the beginning of the Atomic Age and the beginning of the Cold War.

· Second breakthrough is the splitting of the gene, the breaking of the Code of Life, which  radically changed the concept of life and creation. It opened a new and controversial field of science, Genetic Engineering, which now threatens the ecosystems and the biosphere.

· Third breakthrough is the invention of the microchip and the Computer, shrinking the world into a global village, so to speak, and radically changing the way we live with electronics at our fingertips, from communication to transportation, to the extent of peeping through a keyhole prospects of space exploration.  

These breakthroughs changed the world, and continue to do so on an accelerated scale.  But Dr Rotor warned of the consequences of such rapid and chartless change. He knew that runaway change has very dangerous consequences. He stressed in his golden years, this message, “We must have something to cling to. Some things must not change.” He was 75 then, 5 years before his death. (National Review feature written by Ms Lily Lim.)

                                           Holistic Life

He stood as vanguard in the way he lived, warning us of the ill consequences of the so-called Good Life in the way we live today, the Age of Postmodernism, We are “living tomorrow today” on borrowed time and resources. His advocacy is, "Let’s live as holistic human beings."

Holism is the word for his message. Dr Rotor is an epitome of the four attributes of a holistic life." He is a Neo-Renaissance man, on the principle of "health in body and spirit, psyche and intellect."

· Man, the Thinker (Homo sapiens)
· Man, the Maker (Homo faber)
· Man, the Player (Homo ludens)
· Man, the Reverent (Homo spiritus)

The Little Brown Book, THE MEN WHO PLAY GOD.

The title leads to a study of Michelangelo’s painting on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel – The Creation, on the relationship between man and his Creator, whereby the two appear to reach out for each other.

A gap separates their forefingers. It’s like that of a spark plug. it is this gap that the doctor-writers tried to interpret and define. It is this theme that the 25 entries sought for meaning in different interpretations.

The Little Prince novelette by Antoine de Saint-Exupery is a guide to understanding The men Who Play God.  Here is the novelette's summary.

A pilot crash-landed his plane in the Sahara Desert. While he tried to repair his plane, 

a little boy appeared out of nowhere and asks him to draw a sheep.

The pilot learned that this "little prince" came from a faraway tiny planet with three volcanoes. He left a rose. his most important possession. Before arriving on Earth, the little prince visited other planets and met with strange individuals: a king, a vain man, a drunkard, a lamplighter, and a geographer.

He dropped down into the Sahara Desert. He found no friends there, but a snake told him that if he ever needed to return to his home planet, he could take advantage of the snake’s bite. He met a fox that taught him to realize that to know others we must “tame” and be "responsible" to them.  This is what makes things and people unique. "The essential is invisible to the eye," says the fox.

The pilot learned to love and cherish the small boy, He and the boy found a well and drink from it, which saved the pilot’s life. He was about to tell the prince he had fixed his plane, when the prince was talking to the yellow snake about returning to his home planet.  

The prince wished to reunite with his rose. And he let the snake bite him. He fell over into the sand. The pilot did not find his body the next day so he hoped that the boy was not dead. The pilot returned to his normal life but always wondered about the prince and hoped he would return someday.

Who is the Little Prince? What is its relevance to Dr. Rotor’s Message?

 San Vicente, ancestral hometown of the Rotors 

(San Vicente has been declared Heritage Zone of the North (RA 11645 signed by President Rodrigo Duterte)

 

San Vicente Ferrer 17th century church; members of the Rotor clan welcome balikbayan relatives

San Vicente, is a small municipality, two kilometers west of Vigan – the hometown of the Rotors. Our great grandparents lived here during the Spanish period, through the Commonwealth era.  Many of us, typical of Ilocanos, left our hometown in search of greener pasture, so to speak. But true to Ilocanos too, there are a number of balikbayan coming back in search for their roots. Others to die and be buried here.

The San Vicente Botanical Garden beside the old church features a little corner in memory of Dr Rotor and his favorite plant species. A family museum and library includes his writings of short stories: Twilight’s Convict, The Wound and Scar, Dahong Palay,,Zita; Book: Men Who Play God.  We hope to include a compilation of lectures (Biennial Convention of PSAAI), Confidentially Doctor (Column, The Manila Times); winning articles of the 2022 Dr Arturo B Rotor Memorial Award on Literature, among others. 

Balanced Environment is the Key to Good Health

Among the features of the San Vicente Botanical Garden is to bring medicine to the attention and understanding of the people, to help make people healthy in their own capacity, which is perhaps the biggest challenge of medicine today. Thus, the three contending areas of medicine should work together like a tripod.

1. Conventional medicine from which modern medicine grew and developed into today's medical realm, well into computerization and genetic engineering.

2. Alternative medicine, being part of Filipino culture and closest to local remedies, time-tested and practical remedies - the mainstay of folk medicine which caters to the grassroots, with support from government and private initiatives.   

3. Environmental Medicine, the most practical and original to the point of being primeval, if I may say so. Its rules are universal and as natural as Nature’s laws. It is dependent on ecological principles in the conservation of a clean and balance environment

Environmental medicine was born out of the rush of modernization and apparent lack of concern on our deteriorating environment. As we prosper economically, we seem to have forgotten a basic equation of weighing the deleterious by-products of progress, and keeping them out of harm’s way. Basic as it is, we have forgotten the equation of oxygen-carbon dioxide exchange that keeps the biosphere in balance, energy-matter relationship that maintains steady energy supply, organism-habitat balance that protects species and ecosystems, acid-alkaline balance that prevents formation of acid rain, and the like.

 Impressions, thanks

Thanks to Madam Ma Isabel Ongpin for her beautiful article on the Internet “Dr Arturo B Rotor and Emma Unson Rotor: Filipino lives worth remembering,”

I found comfort and inspiration from the contest entries reading and analyzing them while I monitored the condition of my sister, a cancer patient the last four year. I imagined her as one of the characters described in the various stories, being patiently cared by the doctors who wrote their stories. 

Lastly, thank you for your trust and confidence, officers and members of PCP and the PCP Foundation in making me a bridge of your organizations and the Rotor clan, and for including me as a member of the panel of judges. I thank my co-judges for their insightful judging and cooperation. ~

A Wartime Message: To My People

Manuel L. Quezon's 148th birth anniversary was commemorated on August 19, 2026. Known as the "Father of the National Language" and the first president of the Philippine Commonwealth, his special day—widely observed as Quezon Day.

Author's Note: Things seem easy and life is not as challenging as it was with our forebears who knew war and survived it. Less and less of their kind can be found today. Now and then it would be good to revive some valuable memories from them for the new generation.

                                                                 Part 1

Inaugural Address of His Excellency Manuel L. Quezon
President of the Commonwealth of the Philippines

As we enter the threshold of independent nationhood, let us pause for a moment to pay tribute to the memory of Rizal and Bonifacio and all the heroes of our sacred cause in grateful acknowledgment of their patriotic devotion and supreme sacrifice.

Fellow countrymen: The government which we are inaugurating today is only a means to an end. It is an instrumentality placed in our hands to prepare ourselves fully for the responsibilities of complete independence. It is essential that this last step be taken with full consciousness of its significance and the great opportunities that it affords to us.

-----------------------------------------------

“Love your country for it is the home of your people, the seat of your affections, and the sources of your happiness and well-being. Its defense is your primary duty. Be ready at all times to sacrifice and die for it if necessary… Live up to the noble traditions of our people. Venerate the memory of our heroes. Their lives point the way to duty and honor.”

“Value your honor as you value your life. Poverty with honor is preferable to wealth with dishonor. Be truthful and be honest in thought and in action. Be just and charitable, courteous but dignified in your dealings with your fellowmen.”

Manuel L. Quezón, the first President of the Philippine Commonwealth

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Under the Commonwealth, our life may not be one of ease and comfort, but rather of hardship and sacrifice. We shall face the problems which lie in our path, sparing neither time nor effort in solving them. We shall build a government that will be just, honest, efficient, and strong so that the foundations of the coming Republic may be firm and enduring—a government, indeed, that must satisfy not only the passing needs of the hour but also the exacting demands of the future. We do not have to tear down the existing institutions in order to give way to a statelier structure. There will be no violent changes from the established order of things, except such as may be absolutely necessary to carry into effect the innovations contemplated by the Constitution. A new edifice shall rise, not out of the ashes of the past, but out of the standing materials of the living present. Reverence for law as the expression of the popular will is the starting point in a democracy. The maintenance of peace and public order is the joint obligation of the government and the citizens. I have an abiding faith in the good sense of the people and in their respect for law and the constituted authority. Widespread public disorder and lawlessness may cause the downfall of constitutional government and lead to American intervention. Even after independence, if we should prove ourselves incapable of protecting life, liberty, and property of nationals and foreigners, we shall be exposed to the danger of intervention by foreign powers. No one need have any misgivings as to the attitude of the Government toward lawless individuals or subversive movements. They shall be dealt with firmly. Sufficient armed forces will be maintained at all times to quell and suppress any rebellion against the authority of this Government or the sovereignty of the United States.

There can be no progress except under the auspices of peace. Without peace and public order, it will be impossible to promote education, improve the condition of the masses, protect the poor and ignorant against exploitation, and otherwise insure the enjoyment of life, liberty, and property. I appeal, therefore, to every Filipino to give the Government his loyal support so that tranquility may reign supreme in our beloved land.

Our Constitution established an independent judiciary by providing for security of tenure and compensation of judges. But independence is not the only objective of a good judicialy. Equally, if not more important, is its integrity which will depend upon the judicious selection of its members. The administration of justice cannot be expected to rise higher than the moral and intellectual standards of the men who dispense it. To bulwark the fortification of an orderly and just government, it shall be my task to appoint to the bench only men of proven honesty, character, learning, and ability, so that everyone may feel when he appears before the courts of justice that he will be protected in his rights, and that no man in this country from the Chief Executive to the last citizen is above the law.

We are living today amidst the storm and stress of one of the most tragic epochs of history. Acute unemployment and economic distress threaten the stability of governments the world over. The very foundations of civilized society are shaken. The common man alone can save humanity from disaster. It is our duty to prove to him that under a republican system of government, he can have every opportunity to attain his happiness and that of his family. Protection to labor, especially to working women and minors, just regulation of the relations between the labor and capital in industry and agriculture, solicitous regard on the part of the government for the well-being of the masses are the means to bring about needed economic and social equilibrium between the component elements of society.

A government draws the breath of life from its finances, and it must balance its income and expenditures as any other going business concern if it expects to survive. It is my duty, then, to see that the Government of the Commonwealth live within its means and that it stands foursquare on a well-balanced budget.

The larger expenditures which the grave responsibilities ahead of us will entail, including national defense, must be borne by taxation. So long as we are able to meet those responsibilities from our present income, we shall not impose new taxes. But we are among the least taxed people in the world and, therefore, when necessity arises, we should be willing to accept the burden of increased taxation. Liberty and independence can be possessed only by those who are ready to pay the price in life or fortune.

To enable us more adequately to meet the new responsibilities of the Commonwealth and to raise the living conditions of our people, we must increase the wealth of the Nation by giving greater impetus to economic development, improving our methods of agriculture, diversifying our crops, creating new industries, and fostering our domestic and foreign commerce. I trust that the forthcoming trade conference between representatives of the United States and the Philippines will result in a more just and beneficial commercial relation between the two countries.

The establishment of an economical, simple, and efficient government; the maintenance of an independent civil service; the implantation of an adequate system of public instruction to develop moral character, personal discipline, civic conscience, and vocational efficiency; the safeguarding of the health and vigor of the race; the conservation and development of our natural resources—these and other matters of equal import are touched upon at length in the platform of the Coalition and in my speech of acceptance of my nomination, and it is unnecessary for me to reiterate my views regarding them. Having been elected on the virtuality of that platform and the policies enunciated by me in the course of the presidential campaign, I renew my pledge faithfully to carry them into execution.

Goodwill towards all nations shall be the golden rule of my administration. The peoples of the earth are interdependent, and their prosperity and happiness are inseparably linked with each other. International brotherhood and cooperation are therefore necessary. Amity and friendship, fairness and square deal in our relations with other nations and their citizens or subjects, protection in their legitimate investments and pursuits, in return for their temporary allegiance to our institutions and laws, are the assurances I make on behalf of the new Government to Americans and foreigners who may desire to live, trade, and otherwise associate with us in the Philippines.

In the enormous task of fully preparing ourselves for independence, we shall be beset with serious difficulties, but we will resolutely march forward. I appeal to your patriotism and summon your nobility of heart so that we may, united in the common endeavor, once more dedicate ourselves to the realization of our national destiny. I face the future with hope and fortitude, certain that God never abandons a people who ever follow His unerring and guiding Hand. May He give me light, strength, and courage evermore that I may not falter in the hour of service to my people!

Wartime Message 

 By President Manuel L Quezon 

 My fellow citizens: There is one thought which I want you to have in mind, and that is that you are Filipinos; that the Philippines is your country and the only country God has given you; that you must keep it for yourselves, for your children, and for your children’s children, until the world is no more and that you must live for it and die for it, if necessary.

Your country is a great country. It has a great past, a great present and a great future.

The Philippines of yesterday was consecrated by the sacrifices of lives and pleasure of your patriotic martyrs and soldiers. The Philippines today is honored by the wholehearted devotion to its cause of unselfish and courageous statesmen. The Philippines of tomorrow will be the country of plenty, of happiness, and of freedom; it will be a Philippines with her head raised in the midst of the west Pacific, mistress of her own destiny, holding in her hand the torch of freedom and democracy and pointing the way to the teeming millions of Africa and Asia now suffering under alien rule, a Philippines.

Heir in the Orient to the teachings of Christianity: and a republic of virtuous and righteous men and women all working together for a better world than the one we have at present.~
