MERGED: Modern Education, Literacy and English Proficiency

[victor3]

---

Ato usa iklaro. Ang ipa-abolish is the teaching of tagalog grammar that is hitherto disguised as "Filipino".

Adarna, Noli, Florante and Fili belong to a subject called Philippine Literature which is still relevant. If we are gearing towards globalization, shall we not teach phil. literature in english so that masabtan sa lain nasod and daghan maka-appreciate? What really matters for these novels is the content and narratives, not the mummification of the good old tagalog.

if we should modernize education, then we should also modernize Filipino as a subject, not abolish it.

Filipino(tagalog) authorities did the modernization already by infusing taglish words in tagalog grammar aron "in" kunuhay paminawon..come to think of it, modernization can only be done by using english language. So, abolition ra gyud diay of Filipino(tagalog) ang solution if we want to modernize the subject.

Just to neutralized the debate, Filipino subject which is tagalog in dialect would be advisable only during lower years like elementary education. Secondary and tertiary would focus more on how to be soon professionals since at this stage students are already curios and intelligent enough.Let us benchmark other countries educational system like in the US, mostly american's finished up to high school only, college is expensive in the states and it is more on specialization.Here in the philippines for example, we took Bachelor of Science in Mechanical engineering, do you mean by the time we gradute all of those subjects we studied will be applied?In the US their course for example, Mechanical Engineering major in automotive design, after they graduate they land on their field of expertise. So most of the subjects here in the philippines are "just adding up water to the ocean". There are some schools here that already shifting to new system of education, like technical schools but for commercialized schools they still stick with the trend as long as there are more enrollees.

So Filipino subject would only belong to the so called extra-curricular.We can learn filipino through TV labi na karon dagahn tele novelas, internet, books,etc...
It is very obvious that why Filipino subjects are inserted on College units because of profit, during linggo ng wika or buklod wika mag pa print ug t-shirts para negosyo.Maka distribute ang mga maestra ug ticket para negosyo in line sa event for Filipino subjects.....negosyo gyud ang reason dili para edukasyon....

Ang sistema lagi kay nag-tugot nga magtunhay ang mga subject sama sa filipino (tagalog) nga wala'y ayo ug wala'y pulos sa modernization effort sa mga edukador. Sa pag-usab sa sistema, mosunod ang pag-silhig sa mga sagbot niini.

Bisan VALEDICTORIAN or LAUDE LAUDE pa ka unsa na mapa naay FILIPINO ro wala na subject ang Pinoy gutom lang gihapon . Karon , mangabroad ang pinoy ... he or she needs the TAGALOG LANGUAGE to relate and comprehend other KABABAYANS and at the same time use also ENGLISH to SUCCEED in the career .

Sama sa ilang gi ingon , TAGALOG is the UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE in the Philippines and ENGLISH is for the world . I say revise ang TAGALOG subject by removing IBONG ADARNA , NOLI MI TANGERE , EL FILIBUSTIRISMO ... replace it with the PROPER USAGE of TAGALOG , version of the ENGLISH GRAMMAR in FIlipino . End of story , feel better patriotically and retain the IDENTITY for the next generations to come .

Someone said here that one can learn TAGALOG in the movies ? I dont think so , yes we may learn it by heart the basics but by being FIlipino , its not enough to know and say " KUMUSTA KA NA " ?

Noli and Fili are worthy to be keeped kay nag-instill na og nasyonalismo/patriyotismo sa mga estudyante pero mao lagi, na belong siya sa Philippine Literature/Rizal. I couldnt discern any spirit of nationalism by learning tagalog grammar. Filipino subject taught in tagalog is also a misnomer, bunga lang na sa kapritso ni Manuel Quezon nga i-imposar ang tagalog as national language. Atong panahona, mas daghan man unta bisaya therefore mao'y angayan nga terminohan ug NATIONAL IDENTITY following the majority-wins principle and standard numeric logic.

Pero ang tema is angayan pa ba itudlo ang Filipino (tagalog) karon taliwala sa modernization effort sa mga edukador? Modernization means making our educational system global in scope to keep at pace with the emerging trend in our means of production and exchange, say e-commerce etc. For me, nag-usik2x na lang sa oras ang tagaleg, maayo lang na kun helper sa manila imo sudlan trabaho.

Indeed NOLI MI and EL FILI are book worth the read specially if ikaw FIlipino . Being not taught in school also , there is nothing wrong with that because PATRIOTISM lang gani storyahan , by learning how to speak and use TAGALOG as a FILIPINO LANGUAGE is a tool of respect already concerning the NATIONAL LANGUAGE .

That kind of mentality is a form of " AGAINST " or " HATRED " towards Manilenos as TAGALOGS . Why resort to " MAJORITY WINS " reasoning ? As much as I want to make also BISAYA the NATIONAL LANGUAGE , would that be a suggestion also na tangtangon nato ang subject na BISAYA kintahay man gani mao na ang gi tudlo sa klase ? What is the purpose and use BISAYA LANGUAGE anyways sa INFORMATION AGE karon ?

I dont think so , unya ug HELPER sa JAPAN ? Are you willing to study NIPONGGO ? Dismaya lang cguro ka because ENGLISH breaks all barriers but you know what ? By learning ENGLISH also , it does not guarantee to make you stand out individually and as a nation . WHat happened to INDIA ? They have the largest population of callcenter agents in the world , di na sila kamao mo english but then Philippines is tagged as the most proficient ENGLISH speaking country in Asia . Another xample would be EUROPE ( most countries ) , for you to qualify RESIDENCY so you can WORK ... you have to be FLUENT in ORAL and WRITTEN in GERMAN and FRENCH .

Hatred? Ayaw'g ambak sa pader. My boss is tagalog and as far as i know am not expressing hatred towards her and others just because im advocating an abolitionist stance re: tagalog subjects. The issue is the necessity of the subject in the current historical context. Mao na'y hatagi og analysis, dili ang mga overtones/undertones kay posible kang mo-simplang.

Well kun i-teach ang bisaya, di gyud ko mosupak kay una, makatarunganon sad gyud na kay mao man ako native tounge. Dili ko mo-advocate nga i-abolish na sa eskwelahan sa visayas area kay it serves a purpose pero kun muabot na sa Luzon aw lain na pod na nga storya. We can make use of bisaya in enhancing and forging our culture which is definetly distinct sa tagaleg.

And heck, why would i not resort to majority-wins reasoning nga mao man gyud na ang esensya in determining whats best for the whole. We are 7000 plus islands hence, policies must be founded on numbers.

Who say's english does guarantee the individual and nation to stand-out? Kay kun mao na, dugay ra unta ta naharohay. Wala man sad gyud nag-suggest diri nga kun i-abolish ang filipino, automatic english nalang gyud ang tagaan og focus, siguro i-enhance lang gamay kay mao nay rekisito if you want to compete globally. To deny the versatilty of english these days is to fly away on the face of reality. Kun wagtangon ang tagalog, mas maayo pun-an og units ang science, mathematics, political science ug economics kay aside nga mao na'y pundasyon sa national growth, nangiwit sad gyud ang mga pinoy ana na subject kay na-usik man ang oras sa pagkat-on og pantukoy.

Then why resort to the term of yours " TAGALEG " and against ka sa FILIPINO subject which is TAGALOG ang gigamit ?

Well kun i-teach ang bisaya, di gyud ko mosupak kay una, makatarunganon sad gyud na kay mao man ako native tounge.

Then that is just an IN YOUR FACE CONTRADICTION of your statement about ABOLISHING the FILIPINO SUBJECT tungod kay TAGALOG ang gamit . Is VISAYAN or CEBUANO to be specific competitive enough golabally as to what you are suggesting sa imohang INFORMATION AGE or bisan na lang sa INDUSTRIAL AGE ? I dont think so .

And heck, why would i not resort to majority-wins reasoning nga mao man gyud na ang esensya in determining whats best for the whole. We are 7000 plus islands hence, policies must be founded on numbers.

Not all the time . Just because MAJORITY ang outcome ug wala na siya TIMBANGA , chaos ang mahitabo ana in general . SUma , when we vote the public officials as an example .. obviously they won the seat because of the MAJOIRTY , pero if you havent voted wisely unsay mahitabo ?

Mao nay gitawag ug limpyuhan nimo ang ubang tugkaran unya ang imohang kaugalingon labawng hugaw pa . You cant discover others unless you can discover yourself first . Same logic na siya sa being GLOBALLY COMPETITIVE ... you cant compete with the rest indeed kung ikaw wala nakadiskubre kung kinsa ug unsa ka . Though this will only apply sa motherland based professionals . Wala ba ni STAND OUT ang PILIPINAS for being the 3rd largest ENGLISH SPEAKING country in the world ? Bisan ENGLISH CARABAO pa na si Juan , he knows what he is talking about bisan accent ana Ilokano pa .

go for a more modern education or mode of teaching but not to abolish the subject we feel les important.

I suggest that all these subject nga gi-categorize as minor subjects should be taken up during our elem and secondary years para inig college focus na lang tas kurso nga i-take sa estudyante.

Filipino, even English, History, Social Sciences, PE, the NOLI and the El Fili nga inyong gi-lantugian apil na ang kay Rizal subj under the SocSci...should be taken before college. this way, inig college pulos na lang major ang kuhaon para mas ma tun-an ang kurso. specialization kung baga.

no more minor subject on college but a more focused courses to be geared.

kung mo-ingon pud mo nga ang linggwahe sa english usa ka factor ngano establish economically ang usa ka country di pud na siya fair. study na lang japan, malaysia and others they succeeded not bcoz they are fluent in english.

ANG SAYOP lang nato kay kung mo-ingon gani ka illeterate kay pasabot dayon nga di ka basa di lang sa atong punulungan (ma filipino o dili) ug sa inenglis. ang literacy issue nato kay dayon ma relate sa inenglis nga unta di in ana. pero saun ta man, ana naman ta. padayon na lang tas pag-improve sa atong fluency kunuhay sa inenglis.
