1935 Constitution When the constitution of the Commonwealth was being drafted, Camarines Norte Representative Wenceslao Vinzons proposed the inclusion of an article on adopting a national language.His proposal bore fruit in Article XIII, Section 3 of the 1935 Constitution, which directed the National Assembly to “take steps toward the development and adoption of a common national language based on one of the existing native languages.” It also states that until otherwise provided by law, English and Spanish shall remain as the official languages of the Philippines.
1973 Constitution The 1973 Constitution ended up with a carefully-‐worded Article XV, Section 3, which states: “(2) The Batasang Pambansa shall take steps towards the development and formal adoption of a common national language to be known as Filipino. (3) Until otherwise provided by law, English and Pilipino shall be the official languages.”
It was a compromise as it did not explicitly mention that Filipino was not to be based on Tagalog, nor did it state that a Tagalog-‐based national language was to be abandoned. Instead, it proposes the development of a language that shall be called “Filipino.”
1987 Constitution The current working definition of the Philippines’ national language is found in Sections 6 and 7 of Article XIV of the 1987 Constitution, which was created following the ouster of Marcos. Section 6 states: “The national language of the Philippines is Filipino. As it evolves, it shall be further developed and enriched on the basis of existing Philippine and other languages.”
Section 7, says: “For purposes of communication and instruction, the official languages of the Philippines are Filipino and, until otherwise provided by law, English.”
