The Filipino language went through several circumstances just to be the national language of the

Philippines. President Manuel L. Quezon proclaimed Tagalog as Wikang Pambansa in

1939. The language was further renamed Pilipino in 1959 by Secretary of Education Jose
Romero. The 1973 Constitution declared Pilipino to be co-official, along with English, and
mandated the development of a national language, to be known as Filipino.
English subject is being taught from elementary to tertiary schools in the Philippines, while
Filipino as a subject is being taught in elementary and secondary schools, and is only elective in
college.
