    The document is a privilege speech proposing to add a 3-unit literature course to the Senior High School curriculum. It argues that Filipino literature is facing a decline and many students prefer foreign works. However, a survey found Filipinos still favor literature in their native language. Adding another literature course would help develop writers, preserve Philippine history and culture through literature, and promote Filipino works as unique rather than imitations of foreign stories. With support from DepEd and CHED, the proposal could enhance writing skills in high school and college to spare Filipino literature from being forgotten.

    Privilege Speech on Adding3-unit Literature Course on SHSCurriculum

    January 17, 2019

    Good morning, my fellow influential colleagues.

    Our country is known to have a very colorful and fascinating history. This includes literary works
    by our renowned authors like, Dr. Jose Rizal, Francisco Balagtas, Blas Ople, Nick Joaquin, Bob Ong and
    many more. These people primarily wrote what they have experienced and what they had in mind, but,
    either way, it imparted a significant role in our lives today. However, these past few months, the state of
    our beloved literature is currently facing its downfall, slowly but surely -- or so we thought.

    It has been recently ruled by the Supreme Court that Filipino and Philippine literature may now be
    excluded from the list of core subjects in college. While many of our countrymen believe that it is just
    right to do so, I think it is not yet the dead end for this matter. According to a survey conducted by
    TheLasallian, the official publication of De La Salle University, many of their students have shown greater
    preference on foreign books over local literary works on our country. One of the many reasons is that
    they think, Filipino literature is a bit cliché or baduy. One would think that we should be the ones to
    adjust in order to satisfy everyone’s choice and to remove this stigma on Filipino literature being a little
    too predictable. Well, for me, it’s not entirely wrong -- but neither it is right. According to Mr. Eros
    Atalia, an author, and I quote, “you can’t reach every single person with what you write”. He has a point,
    though. In fact, the most recent National Book Development Board Readership survey showed that the
    most read non-academic book by the participants were mostly in Filipino language. This supports the
    fact that maybe, just maybe, Filipinos still do care about our literature and do not choose foreign ones
    over our own, most of the time.

    With that being said, I am standing here before you to assert my proposal of adding another 3-
    unit Literature course to the present SHS curriculum. I believe that by doing so, students will be able to
    enhance their writing skills and conceivably help improve and remove the stigma about Filipino
    literature as the cliché type. By considering this proposal, we will be able to:

    1. Start developing adept writers to help improve our literature


    2. Preserve our history by passing on the essence and main point of how Filipinos write, at the
    same time, incorporating contemporary ideas and more imaginative plot and way of writing;
    and
    3. Make Filipino literature known in its own unique way and not by merely copying foreign works
    and reconstructing the same traditional stories

    This will all be made possible with the help of DepEd and CHED, for the ideal age to start
    enhancing writing skills is mostly on high school students and college students. With the help of these
    groups, information will be disseminated conveniently. Most of all, I set out my proposal and opinions
    about his matter to spare Filipino literature from being totally forgotten by the future generations.

    Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. Have a great day.

    BALINGIT, Pamela Rio M. CN – 05 11-ABM-03
