1. Trace the historical development of the language policy in the Philippines, pass an
outline that completely shows the historical development of the language policy in the
Philippines.
 The Decree in 1550- issued by Carlos I in Valladolid in 1550 (June 7) and reissued in
July 17. It demanded the teaching of Castilian in the Spanish colonies which was issued
before the colonization of the Philippines.
 Instructions in 1596- the king of Spain (Felipe II) sent to Tell, Governor of the Philippine
colony, an instruction which stated that learning of indigenous languages bythe friars was
inadequate for missionary, instead the friars should teach Spanish to natives.
 The Decree in 1603- the above two decrees required the teaching of the Spanish
language, but at the same time the Crown government demanded of friars to learn
indigenous languages probably because some of friars were reluctant or incompetent to
master indigenous languages.
 The Decree in 1634- Felipe IV issued a decree demanding that the colonial government
should teach Spanish to all the natives. The previous decrees stated that the Spanish
teaching should be given to natives who were willing to learn, not to all the natives.
 The Decree in 1686- Carlos II issued a decree in which he complained that former
decrees (issued in 1550,1634 and 1636) had not been observed and stated there would be
punishment if not observed
 The Decree in 1792- A similar type of decree was issued by Carlos IV in which he
evoked the previous decrees (May 10, 1770; November 28, 1772; November 24, 1774)In
compliance with decrees issued by the home government, the colonial government also
issued several laws concerning language policies. Compared to the royal decrees, those
laws presented more concrete methods. But they were equally ignored by friars.
 The Ordinance 1768- Governor Solís issued the following law on October 19, 1752, later
it became Ordinance 52 in 1768. This ordinance asked the establishment of schools and
prohibited any other language than Spanish in schools. It stated that official jobs could be
given to those speaking Spanish as an incentive to learning of Spanish.
 Education Act in 1863- prescribed that Spanish was to be the sole medium of instruction
in order to facilitate the need to learn Spanish, so that literacy in Spanish appeared to be
the major purpose of the curriculum. To this end, the decree provided that natives who
could not speak, read and write Spanish five years after its issuance were not to be
permitted to hold salaried government positions. This was the major motivation to induce
the Filipinos to study the language
