About Buwan Ng Wikang Pambansa in the Philippines
Lifestyle , South Asia
Ends: Aug 31, 2024
DESCRIPTION:
National Language Month, or "Buwan ng Wika," is a significant cultural observance in the Philippines each August to promote the Filipino language, a derivative of Tagalog, and the country's linguistic and cultural diversity. It celebrates the birthday of President Manuel Luis Quezon, Aug. 19, 1878.
Established by Proclamation No. 1041, signed in 1997 by the late President Fidel V. Ramos, the initiative fosters national pride and consciousness of the nation's diverse linguistic and cultural heritage while emphasizing the importance of the Filipino language as a symbol of the nation's identity and unity. It recognizes the country's rich tapestry of languages and dialects, which includes more than 170 spoken languages. It highlights the necessity of preserving and nurturing these as integral parts of the Filipino cultural legacy.
Throughout the month, activities are organized nationwide, including but not limited to poetry readings, essay writing competitions, cultural showcases, and exhibitions that highlight the linguistic and cultural traditions of various regions. Schools and government institutions lead the way in conducting programs that encourage the use of Filipino in multiple forms of communication and media.
Buwan ng Wika is also a time for reflection on the historical development of the Filipino language, particularly its establishment as the national language and its evolution over the years. The month reminds Filipinos that their language is a source of unity and national identity in a country known for its diverse cultures and traditions.
The Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino (Commission on the Filipino Language) champions the event, spearheads initiatives to enrich the national language, and coordinates various events that align with the celebration's objectives.
