UP Aguman co-presents a Language Forum
December 9, 2008 – In line with the celebration of it’s 35th founding anniversary, the UP Aguman accepted the invitation to co-present a language forum entitled Ing Kálam ning Amanung Sisuan: A Closer Look at Philippine Language Problems. The other organizations behind the forum are SALiGAN sa CSSP, UP Samahang Linggwistika and STAND-UP. It was held at 1pm at the Multi-Media Room of CSSP, PH 400.
There were three invited speakers for the said forum: Jason Paul Laxamana (from Kalalangan Kamaru), Prof. Ramon Guillermo (Department of Filipino) and Ricardo Ma. Nolasco, PhD (Department of Linguistics). While the forum focused on the Kapampangan language, the speakers also discussed the many issues and problems faced by the many languages in the Philippines in general. Studies on the languages used as mediums of instruction among Philippine schools and the corresponding effects were also presented. USC Councilor and UP Aguman member Rose Angelique Dizon also graced the event as the Student Reactor. Kontra Gapi performed an intermission number during the break.
Just like in Aguman’s 1st Semester ACLE regarding the Kapampangan language, the first Kapampanganovela Kálam was also screened for the audience to showcase the reinvigoration of the cultural and language awareness in Pampanga.
