The Supreme Court might disagree, but the Filipino subject is one of the last lungs of our national identity. What Tanggol Wika (Alyansa ng Mga Tagapagtanggol ng Wika Filipino) said last year was true—removing it from the college curriculum is like cultural genocide.

This is not the end-all be-all, but let’s trace back to when studying Filipino was at its peak for most of us: high school.
