‘Tanggol Wika’ persists with its fight to retain Filipino in GEC, laments ‘cultural genocide’ 0 SHARES Share it! Early this week, the Alyansa ng mga Tagapagtanggol ng Wikang Filipino (Tanggol Wika) submitted to the Supreme Court (SC) a letter protesting its decision to exclude the two subjects from the General Education Curriculum (GEC). Despite the “final ruling” of the SC on the matter, Tanggol Wika remained hopeful that it can convince the High Court to retain Filipino and Panitikan in the GEC. For Tanggol Wika, the SC decision was “patently unjust” especially there would be Filipino teachers who might be displaced because of it. CHED, the group said, retained and prioritized English over the Filipino language and “reversed” the official use of Filipino in the educational system.
