Ngayong Agosto, muling ipinagdiriwang ang Buwan ng Wika—panahon para kilalanin at pahalagahan ang Filipino at ang kulturang bahagi ng ating pagkakakilanlan. Karaniwan nating iniuugnay ang pagdiriwang sa mga kasuotang Pilipino, paligsahan, pagtatanghal, at paggamit ng mga salitang minsan ay bihira nating marinig sa pang-araw-araw na usapan. Masaya ang mga ito, pero hindi naman doon nagtatapos ang pagpapahalaga sa wika.

Sa totoo lang, ginagamit natin ang Filipino kahit hindi natin ito napapansin. Nasa usapan natin sa bahay, sa biruan kasama ang mga kaibigan, sa classroom, sa group chat, at sa mga post at comments na araw-araw nating nakikita online. Nagbabago lamang ang lugar at paraan ng paggamit natin dito.

At ngayon, malaking bahagi ng buhay natin ang nangyayari online.

Dito tayo nagbabahagi ng opinyon, nagtatanong, nagkukuwento, at nakikipag-usap. May mga Filipino caption, meme, video, comment, at discussion na madaling makita sa social media. Minsan, halo ang Filipino at English. Minsan naman, may mga bagong salitang nabubuo dahil sa internet. Hindi ito nangangahulugang nawawala ang Filipino. Ipinapakita lamang nito na patuloy itong ginagamit at nagbabago kasabay ng mga taong gumagamit nito.

Kasama na rin sa pagbabagong ito ang artificial intelligence o AI.

Marami nang estudyante ang gumagamit nito para maghanap ng ideya, magpaunawa ng konsepto, tumulong sa pananaliksik, o magsimula ng isang gawain. Malaking tulong ang teknolohiya kapag ginagamit nang tama. Pero may hangganan din ang pagiging convenient nito.

Isang click lang, may sagot na. Isang copy-paste, tapos na sana.

Pero sapat na ba iyon?

Hindi lahat ng sagot mula sa AI ay tama. Maaari itong magbigay ng impormasyon na mali, kulang, o hindi angkop sa konteksto. At kung lagi nating hahayaan ang teknolohiya na mag-isip para sa atin, unti-unti ring nababawasan ang pagkakataong matuto tayong magbasa, magsuri, at bumuo ng sariling sagot.

Kaya bago ang “copy,” dapat may “think.”

Hindi rin naman kailangang iwasan ang AI. Maaari natin itong gamitin habang patuloy na ginagamit ang Filipino. Maaari tayong magsulat ng content sa Filipino, gumawa ng online discussions gamit ang Filipino, magbahagi ng impormasyon sa ating sariling wika, at makipag-ugnayan sa AI gamit ito. Kung lumalawak ang mga lugar kung saan tayo nakikipag-usap, dapat lumalawak din ang lugar para sa Filipino.

Hindi rin kailangang maging malalim ang bawat salitang ginagamit natin. Hindi naman nasusukat ang pagmamahal sa wika sa dami ng malalalim na salitang alam natin. Ang Filipino na ginagamit natin ngayon ay kasama ang mga salitang hiram, code-switching, memes, biro, at iba pang paraan ng pakikipag-usap na nabuo sa kasalukuyang panahon.

Mas mahalaga ang paggamit kaysa pagpapakita lamang nito tuwing Agosto.

Kaya pagkatapos ng mga programa at paligsahan para sa Buwan ng Wika, sana ay hindi doon matapos ang paggamit natin ng Filipino. Dalhin natin ito sa mga lugar kung saan tayo talagang naroroon—sa classroom, sa social media, sa group chats, sa online learning, sa pananaliksik, at maging sa mga teknolohiyang ginagamit natin araw-araw.

Dahil hindi naman kailangang pumili sa pagitan ng teknolohiya at sariling wika. Maaari nating gamitin ang bago nang hindi kinakailangang kalimutan ang atin.

Sa huli, maaaring magbago ang paraan ng ating pakikipag-usap. Maaaring may panibagong platform, bagong app, o bagong teknolohiyang susunod sa AI. Pero kung patuloy nating ginagamit ang Filipino, hindi ito maiiwan sa nakaraan.

Hindi lang natin ipinagdiriwang ang Filipino tuwing Agosto. Ginagamit natin ito araw-araw.

Kaya sa bawat click, huwag lang tayong basta mag-copy.

Mag-isip. Magsuri. At gamitin ang sariling wika.

Wika natin. Click natin.

Isang simpleng salita gaya ng “buwan,” ngunit kapag binigkas nang “bu is wan,” agad nitong nahahati ang opinyon ng publiko. Para sa ilan, ito ay isang nakalilibang na ekspresyon sa internet; para sa iba, isa itong hindi kaaya-ayang pagbaluktot sa ating wika.

Sa social media, kapansin-pansing lumilitaw ang panibagong ritmo ng pananalita ng kabataan. Ang simpleng “buwan” ay nagiging “bu is wan,” at ang “wika” ay nagiging “wi is ka.” Isang dagdag na patlang, isang isina-Ingles na tunog—ngunit isang malikhaing paraan ng paglalaro sa mga salita.

Para sa ilang tagapagtanggol ng pormal na wika at ilang nakatatandang gumagamit, ang ganitong gawi ay maaaring tingnan bilang nakakairita, pambababoy sa balarila, o walang katuturang kababawan lamang ng internet culture. May ilan ding nangangambang maapektuhan nito ang wastong paggamit ng Filipino o malabo ang pagkakaiba ng pormal at impormal na komunikasyon.

Subalit bago natin ito tuluyang itakwil, mahalagang maunawaan na ang pagbabago sa pananalita ay hindi na bago. Ito ay natural na bahagi ng ating kultura at sosyolingguwistikong kasaysayan. Halimbawa, ang Swardspeak o Bekimon ay naging isang malikhaing anyo ng pagpapahayag at pagbuo ng identidad sa loob ng isang komunidad.

Samantala, ang kulturang Jejemon ay umusbong at naging popular noong huling bahagi ng dekada 2000. Maiuugnay ito sa kultura ng text messaging, mga unang social networking sites, at sa malikhaing paggamit ng wika ng kabataan.

Sa kabilang banda, ang “Bu is Wan” ay isang malikhaing paglalaro sa mga pantig at tunog ng salita. Ginagawa ito sa pamamagitan ng paghahati sa isang salita ayon sa mga pantig nito at pagdaragdag ng salitang “is”—na hango sa Ingles, tulad ng “Po is gi” para sa pogi o “Gan is da” para sa ganda.

Makikita rin ang ganitong wordplay sa ilang social-media content, kabilang ang mga video ng content creator at live seller. Bukod sa pagiging bahagi ng meme culture, nagsisilbi rin itong paraan ng pakikipagbiruan at pakikilahok sa mga usapang online.

Lalo itong nagiging makabuluhan kapag dumarating ang buwan ng Agosto—ang taunang Buwan ng Wika. Bago naging buong-buwan ang pagdiriwang, unang itinakda ang Linggo ng Wika noong 1946 sa pamamagitan ng Proklamasyon Blg. 35 ni Pangulong Sergio Osmeña, mula Marso 27 hanggang Abril 2. Noong 1955, inilipat ito ni Pangulong Ramon Magsaysay sa Agosto 13–19, at noong 1997, pinalawak ang pagdiriwang sa buong buwan ng Agosto sa bisa ng Proklamasyon Blg. 1041 ni Pangulong Fidel V. Ramos.

Sa panahong ito, karaniwang nagiging maingay ang talakayan ukol sa kung ano ang “tamang” paggamit ng Filipino. Ngunit kung susuriin nang mas malalim, ang pag-iral ng “Bu is Wan” sa gitna ng makasaysayang pagdiriwang na ito ay hindi dapat agad ituring na banta. Maaari itong tingnan bilang isa sa mga halimbawa kung paano inaangkop ng mga gumagamit ang Filipino sa digital na komunikasyon.

Sa halip na malimitahan lamang sa mga pormal na palatuntunan sa paaralan at tradisyunal na sanaysay, ipinapakita nito na ang Filipino ay ginagamit, nilalaro, at isinasabuhay sa mga pang-araw-araw na espasyong ginagalawan ng mga Pilipino.

Ang ganitong dinamikong katangian ng wika ay mauunawaan din sa konteksto ng ating batas. Ayon sa Artikulo XIV, Seksyon 6 ng 1987 Konstitusyon, ang Filipino ay dapat patuloy na “payabungin at pagyamanin” batay sa umiiral na mga wika sa Pilipinas at sa iba pang mga wika. Hindi tuwirang tinutukoy ng Konstitusyon ang mga ekspresyong tulad ng “Bu is Wan.” Gayunman, malinaw sa probisyon ang layuning patuloy na payabungin at pagyamanin ang Filipino.

Sa gitna ng ganitong pagbabago at mga puna rito, paano nga ba natin dapat tingnan ang mga bagong ekspresyon sa ating komunikasyon?

Hindi naman ibig sabihin nito na dapat nang isantabi ang pormal na Filipino. Mahalaga pa rin ang wastong gramatika at ang kakayahang gumamit ng angkop na wika sa bawat sitwasyon. Ngunit ang pagtatanggol sa pamantayan ay hindi nangangahulugang pagtanggi sa bawat pagbabagong dala ng panahon. Ang tunay na kahusayan sa wika ay makikita rin sa kakayahang malaman kung kailan angkop ang pormal na Filipino at kung kailan maaaring gamitin ang mas impormal at malikhaing paraan ng pagpapahayag.

Kaya naman, trend lang ba ito o bago na? Kung titingnan sa ibabaw, ang “Bu is Wan” ay maaaring isang pansamantalang trend—isang uso na maaaring makalimutan din tulad ng ilang anyo ng Jejemon kapag may lumitaw na namang bagong gawi ang susunod na henerasyon.

Subalit sa mas malalim na antas, hindi ito bago sa kasaysayan, kundi bagong mukha ng lumang katotohanan: na ang Wikang Filipino ay patuloy na umuunlad sa pamamagitan ng malikhaing pakikipaglaro ng mga gumagamit nito sa salita.

Ngunit hindi lamang nito ipinakikitang buhay ang wika. Ano nga ba ang ipinapakita ng trend na ito tungkol sa kabataan? Ipinapakita nito ang kanilang kakayahang mag-angkin at maglaro sa wika, lumikha ng mga bagong paraan ng pagpapahayag, at bumuo ng kultural na pagkakakilanlan sa digital na mundo, at gawing mas masaya at inklusibo ang pakikipag-usap. Higit sa pagiging pasibong tagasalo ng tradisyon, sila ang nagsisilbing aktibong tagahubog ng wika ayon sa kwento at agos ng kanilang panahon.

Sino ba talaga ang nagluluksa—ang pamilya o ang social media?

Let’s be real, mga accla kayo ng taon!

When Rene Baterbonia died, social media didn’t just mourn—they created a cult-like fanbase. Within weeks, the small-town kid from Talacogon, Agusan del Sur, who just wanted to achieve his dream through basketball, became a full-blown social media phenomenon. His death became a source of content, merchandise, and businesses for people who didn’t even know he existed until the news broke that he drowned. But suddenly, everyone is his biggest fan, everyone knew him like a childhood friend, and everyone is grieving like they lost a brother.

Honestly, mga ante, it’s giving de is lu is lu ng taon.

Here’s the thing, mga te: his image has been used in all sorts of merchandise—notebooks, T-shirts, keychains, perfume, and even photo albums. And yes, there was even a “Baterbonia Collections” booth during his 40th-day commemoration. To be fair, not everything being sold automatically means exploitation; some of these items were presented as ways of remembering or supporting the family. But still, sis, grief has a price tag now.

They are turning his tragedy into a full-on commercial enterprise, with collections, merchandise, and even a booth at his own memorial event.

Ito malala mga sis, his 40th-day commemoration wasn’t just a solemn gathering—it also became a spectacle as a life-sized sculpture of him was put on his grave, with attendees taking photos and videos with it as if they were at a mall exhibit. Ang weird, ‘di ba?

May isa pa mga te! Suddenly, his hometown, specifically their house, became a pilgrimage site. After visiting his gravesite, people would visit his house like they were in a museum, taking pictures and videos of his room, their kitchen, and their backyard like an ancient relic of old civilization, just for their content.

Nasa field trip yarn?

Papunta pa lang tayo sa exciting, or should I say disturbing, na part.

For people who are part of this cult-like behavior that has emerged, Rene wasn’t just a victim—he became a hero. They even compared and labeled him as Rizal.

Noli yarn?

Let’s be honest, most of the people who welcomed his funeral convoy in his hometown had probably never heard of him before June 8. But suddenly, he was a martyr, a symbol, and an icon for them.

Mind you, te.

It didn’t stop there. An AI-generated image of Rene as a “new saint of all athletes” went viral, with people commenting things like, “I already said long ago that he can become a saint,” and, “His story is somewhat like San Pedro Calungsod.”

Mind you, the Catholic Church has a formal process for sainthood, and Rene’s internet canonization was certainly moving much faster.

Santo Papa kayo?

Wait, bakit nga ba gan’to sila?

Kuya Kim, ano na?

Or pwede rin—

This is Lansssss!

Sige ito na nga lang.

Let me explain something.

In an interview with Inquirer, psychologist David Damian explained that Rene’s story is so relatable to Filipinos—a small-town kid trying to make it big for his family—that it triggers extreme sympathy. He noted that Filipinos have a “fanatic” culture, and that it only becomes unhealthy when people develop delusional beliefs that they have a reciprocal relationship with the deceased.

Familiar, ‘di ba?

People are forgetting that Rene Baterbonia was a real person with a real family, not a character in their personal afternoon drama series.

Imagine being his mother, Rovelyn, still grieving, and seeing strangers treat your son’s grave like a tourist spot. Imagine seeing people make TikTok videos in front of his tombstone. Imagine knowing that some of these people are only there because the algorithm told them to.

She doesn’t need strangers turning her son’s name into a social media spectacle. She doesn’t need people making AI images of him as a saint when he’s barely cold in his grave. Most importantly, she doesn’t need fans acting like they’re grieving harder than she is, because when a mother grieves, the whole world listens.

At the end of the day, “Justice for Rene” became a hashtag, but what followed was a cacophony.

Cacophony?

Yes, mga te. A cacophony—a loud, confusing mixture of voices, opinions, theories, tributes, edits, and everything else that social media can produce when tragedy becomes content.

So what are we really doing here, mga accla?

Are we honoring Rene’s memory?

Or are we just using his tragedy to fuel our own social media content, our own parasocial fantasies?

Rovelyn Baterbonia said it best: “Hustisya po ang hiling ko, ‘di po pera!” She wants justice, she wants answers, and she wants peace.

Her son isn't a saint nor a hero nor a brand.

He was just a kid with a dream, and he deserves to rest in peace.

He deserves to be remembered as a dreamer, na para bang:

“Good luck forgetting my eyes. Pag nag-smile ako, gumaganto. Patay, ‘di ka na maka-move on. The eyes that will hunt you forever.”

The University of Eastern Pangasinan–College of Teacher Education (UEP-CTE) conducted Phase 3 of Project READY, “𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗖𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘂𝗺 & 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻,” from August 12 to 14 at the UEP Main Building, bringing pre-service teachers together for sessions tailored to their respective majors.

The three-day activity centered on the ILAW Framework—Intentions, Learning Experience, Assessment, and Ways Forward—and its application to lesson planning and instructional resource design.

The sessions were conducted by major to give pre-service teachers discussions relevant to their respective learning areas. Dr. Ruth Ann L. Poserio, Master Teacher III at Bantugan Elementary School, handled the BEED majors; Dr. Jaypee Custodio, Teacher V and Curriculum Head of Academic Track at Balungao National High School, handled the English majors; Dr. Jenifer Soriano, Assistant School Head at Bugayong Integrated School, facilitated the Filipino majors; and Dr. Anthony Bacalzo, Teacher II at Ambalangan Dalin National High School, handled the Mathematics majors.

Ms. Angie Lee Lou Sales, MAEd, Teacher III at Juan G. Macaraeg National High School, handled the Science majors. Ms. Jamelie Crispino, MAEd, Head Teacher III and Assistant School Head at Laoac National High School, facilitated Social Studies, while Dr. Emelyn Casildo, Teacher VI at Benigno V. Aldana National High School, handled Values Education.

For the English majors, Dr. Jaypee Custodio discussed DepEd Order No. 16 and the shift toward treating lesson planning as a practical instructional tool rather than simply a requirement to complete. He explained that the ILAW Framework brings together the previous 10-part Daily Lesson Log into four main components: intentions, learning experience, assessment, and ways forward.

Dr. Ruth Ann L. Poserio stressed that a lesson is successful when learners attain the intended competencies and their learning is measured through assessment. Dr. Jenifer Soriano, meanwhile, discussed how the framework allows teachers to move beyond compliance and develop lessons that are clear, inclusive, contextualized, and responsive to learners.

Dr. Anthony Bacalzo talked about adapting to curriculum changes, while Ms. Angie Lee Lou Sales emphasized planning lessons that are clear, measurable, and focused on what learners can produce and demonstrate. Ms. Jamelie Crispino discussed the Learning Experience component and how integration can be done within or across curriculum areas. Dr. Emelyn Casildo presented the framework to Values Education majors in a manner that made the four components easier to understand.

The discussions also prompted students to consider how the framework could affect their future classroom practice.

BEED student Hammy Tubiera pointed out that teachers cannot rely on one teaching strategy because learners have different needs. Filipino major Allen Jay Mones said the framework could make lesson planning less time-consuming while giving teachers room to choose strategies suited to their classes.

For English major Jedee Llyna Madridano, planning serves as a roadmap for the teaching-learning process. She also said the framework helped her see the importance of creating an inclusive and supportive classroom environment.

Social Studies major Mark John Paul Calpotura described ILAW as a simplified version of the Daily Lesson Plan, noting that it reduces the amount teachers need to write while keeping lessons focused on learners.

Mathematics major Antonette Galanote emphasized that lesson planning goes beyond preparing a written document. For her, teachers must first identify the competencies learners need, determine how these will be taught, and consider what should follow after the lesson.

Science major Shawn Ahron Quitoles said the framework could encourage more collaboration, teacher-student communication, and critical thinking in the classroom. He also viewed it as a tool that could help teachers deliver instruction more effectively.

Values Education major Hannah Joy Toje expressed appreciation for Dr. Emelyn Casildo’s session, noting that she was able to make the topic simple yet substantial despite the limited time.

With Phase 3 completed, Project READY will move on to Phase 4, Demonstrated Clinical Practice, and Phase 5, Yielding Professional Character & Ethics.

More than 500 pre-service teachers from the University of Eastern Pangasinan–College of Teacher Education (UEP-CTE) participated in the second phase of Project READY on August 5 through Google Meet. Centered on Empathetic and Inclusive Management and carrying the theme Establishing Inclusive and Supportive Classroom Environment, the seminar-workshop continued the project's preparation of future educators for classroom practice.

Opening the session, Mr. Edcel L. Flechetero, MAEd, faculty member and Program Coordinator for the Bachelor of Secondary Education major in Science, presented the project's rationale and objectives. He described the transition from theory to classroom practice as one of the most critical stages of teacher education and explained that Project READY aims to bridge tertiary coursework with the realities of basic education. He also cited DepEd Order No. 42, s. 2017, which anchors teacher development on the Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers (PPST).

The first resource speaker, Ms. Winnie Vic L. Salcedo, LPT, faculty member of the Bachelor of Early Childhood Education and Bachelor of Elementary Education programs, discussed behavior management, emphasizing that behavior must be observable and measurable. She encouraged pre-service teachers to model expected behaviors, regulate their emotions before correcting students, and prioritize "connection before correction" to build trust and encourage positive responses.

Ms. Czaraine Joyce G. Lapeña, MAEd, faculty member and Program Coordinator for the Bachelor of Early Childhood Education and Bachelor of Elementary Education programs, discussed the four pillars of inclusive practice: accommodation, Universal Design for Learning (UDL), differentiated instruction, and assistive technology. She emphasized designing instruction that addresses learners' diverse needs from the outset through differentiated strategies and introduced assistive technologies and practical approaches for supporting learners with intellectual disabilities, speech and language disorders, and physical disabilities. She concluded with the reminder, "Nothing about us, without us," emphasizing that inclusion begins by ensuring every learner is heard.

The seminar concluded with a hands-on Filipino Sign Language (FSL) workshop facilitated by Mrs. Jonell Ann D. M. Doria, MEd, faculty member of the Bachelor of Secondary Education major in Filipino. She discussed Republic Act No. 11106, which recognizes FSL as the national sign language, and demonstrated its five components: handshapes, movements, facial expressions, eye contact, and body posture. Participants practiced the manual alphabet and basic classroom signs and greetings. She also clarified that sign language is not universal and emphasized the importance of learning FSL among both deaf and hearing individuals to promote inclusive communication.

The second phase of Project READY introduced pre-service teachers to practical strategies in classroom management, inclusive instruction, and Filipino Sign Language as they prepare for field study and future teaching.

The University of Eastern Pangasinan (UEP), through the Timpuyog Performing Arts Guild (TPAG), held 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗴𝗼 𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗸𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗼: 𝗣𝗶𝗻𝗼𝘆 𝗖𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗱 "𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗮" on July 30–31, 2026, at the Main Building Lobby, featuring performances by TPAG members and UEP students in observance of Linggo ng Musikang Pilipino.

Throughout the two-day event, students gathered at the lobby to watch the performances and sing along to familiar Filipino songs. The program showcased a variety of OPM selections performed by students and members of the performing arts guild.

Christopher Jomar Bermudez, a member of the Timpuyog Performing Arts Guild, said Filipino songs resonate with many listeners because their messages are conveyed in a language they readily understand and relate to.

"Kapag mas naiintindihan natin, mas mararamdaman natin ang mensahe ng kanta. Unlike kapag nakikinig tayo ng foreign music, minsan hindi naman talaga natin nage-gets kung ano ang pinaparating ng kanta. Kapag OPM ang pinapakinggan o kinakanta natin, mas nakakarelate tayo sa mga pinagdadaanan at nararamdaman natin. Nagagamit din natin ito bilang motivation depende sa kantang pinapakinggan natin."

The event highlighted Filipino music through performances that reflected themes familiar to many listeners, reinforcing the significance of OPM in Philippine culture. It concluded after two days of performances by TPAG members and UEP students in support of Linggo ng Musikang Pilipino.
