Tagalog Wikang Pambansa

 * November 13, 1936 - Surian ng Wikang Pambansa (National Language Institute) which was established and tasked with "the study of Philippine dialects in general for the purpose of evolving and adopting a common national language based on one of the existing native tongues" selected Tagalog as the basis of a Wikang Pambansa
 * December 30, 1937 - Manuel L. Quezon proclaimed Tagalog as the basis of Wikang Pambansa

 * 1970 - Board of National Education ordered the gradual shift to Pilipino as medium of instruction in the elementary starting with Grade 1 in the school year 1974-75 and progressing into higher grades, a level each year
 * October 4, 1971 - 31 letters
 * 1973 - Contitution stated that the National Assembly should endeavor towards developing and formally adopting a common national language to be called Filipino. Meantime, Pilipino and English remain the official languages unless repealed by law.
 * Pilipino has borrowed and adopted a lot of words from the Spanish lexicon, Spain being the country's colonizer for over 300 years.


 * August 7, 1973 - BNE introduced the bilingual approach to teaching --that is, using two languages as media of instruction in the schools, to wit: the vernacular for Grades I and II, Pilipino for Grades III and IV, Pilipino and English for secondary and tertiary levels.
 * January 1987 - SWP was replaced by Linangan ng mga Wika ng Pilipinas
 * 1987 - Filipino is one of the official languages; 28 letters
 * August 14, 1991 - Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino (Commission on the Filipino Language) was created
 * May 13, 1992 - the commission issued a resolution specifying that Filipino is the indigenous written and spoken language of Metro Manila and other urban centers in the Philippines used as the language of communication of ethnic groups.
 * The borrowing from Spanish has now somewhat waned. What is prevalent in Filipino today is the rampant borrowing from English. Tabloids, dailies, weeklies, showbiz magazines, even the Cebuano weekly Bisaya are awashed with English words. The academicians as well as the newscasters in radio and television have adopted English words freely and liberally.


 * 2001 - revised the usage of 8 letters
 * 2006 - suspended revision
