2. What are the legal basis in the implementation of MTB-MLE in the Philippine Education?
Discuss briefly.

DO 13, Series of 2012 serves provides the legal foundation for MTB-MLE.
RA. NO. 10533 instructs DepEd to construct its curriculum in accordance with the MTB-
MLE concepts and structure. Kindergarten and Grades 1–3 students must receive instruction,
educational materials, and assessments in their regional or native language. Instruction,
instructional materials, and evaluation for kindergarten and the first three (3) years of primary
school must be in the learners' regional or native language. Mother Tongue is utilized as a
Medium of Instruction (MOI) for Mathematics, Araling Panlipunan (AP), Music, Arts,
Physical Education and Health (MAPEH), and Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao (EsP) in Grades 1
and 2. From Grade 4 to Grade 6, the Department of Education (DepED) shall develop a
mother language transition program in which Filipino and English will be gradually
 introduced as languages of instruction until these two (2) languages can become the primary
languages of instruction at the secondary level.

3. Explain and discuss the framework of MTB-MLE?

MTB-MLE's ultimate purpose is lifelong learning. It demonstrates that a firm foundation in

the mother tongue enhances cognitive growth, academic development, and second language
development, resulting in proficient and confident use of the three languages in a wide range
of contexts and purposes. With the ultimate objective of making Filipino children lifelong
learners in their L1 or Mother tongue, L2 (Filipino, the national language), and L3 (English,
the global language), the learners are more than equipped to acquire competence in the many
learning domains. Personally, the framework demonstrates the interdependence and
interrelationship of language macro skills such as listening, speaking, reading, and reading
and writing, as well as the development of thinking skills (critical, creative, and
metacognitive) that allow learners to make meaning through language.
