Abstract

The aim of uniting the Filipinos for community building allowed government leaders and lawmakers to see the role of language motivating them to draft and promulgate laws for communication and instruction. However, at present, the government only perceives the critical role of Filipino in performing civic duties, declaring it a national code and English, to respond internationally, while regional languages are only used as auxiliary codes up to grade two only, leaving non-Tagalogs with doubts of the real purpose of legalizing Filipino and English as languages of communication and instruction. This paper reveals that auxiliary languages with English exist in academic discourse to facilitate learning even in a Higher Educational Institution.
