Some farewells come much sooner than we ever expect, leaving a profound silence that words can never truly express. Today, the entire Mabalacat City College – Institute of Teacher Education (MCC-ITE) community mourns the passing of its beloved former student and 2022 graduate, Ma'am Jean Michelle V. Fuguelas.

As we grieve this heartbreaking loss, may we find solace in the beautiful memories she shared with those around her and in the comfort of a community standing together in prayer, sympathy, and love. Her life may have come to an end, but the memories she created and the lives she touched will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew her.

May the Lord, in His infinite compassion and eternal love, welcome Ma’am Jean into His heavenly kingdom and grant her eternal rest and peace. We offer our sincerest condolences and prayers to her family, loved ones, colleagues, teachers, and friends as they navigate this difficult time.

May her memory forever be a blessing, and may she rest peacefully in the loving arms of the Lord.

Ang wika ay mahalagang bahagi ng pagkakakilanlan ng isang bayan. Ginagamit ito sa pakikipagtalastasan, pagpapahayag ng saloobin at damdamin, at higit sa lahat, sa pagpapanatili at pagpapasa ng kultura at tradisyon mula sa isang salinlahi patungo sa susunod.

Ayon sa Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino (KWF), tinatayang may 135 katutubong wika sa Pilipinas. Sa bilang na ito, 40 ang itinuturing na nanganganib na maglaho sa hinaharap—22 sa Luzon, 10 sa Visayas, at 8 sa Mindanao.

Batay sa KWF Kapasiyahan ng Kalupunan ng mga Komisyoner Blg. 18-33, s. 2018, ang nanganganib na wika ay tumutukoy sa wikang may posibilidad na tuluyang mawala dahil sa mga salik na panlipunan, pangkultura, at pampolitika na nakaaapekto sa patuloy na paggamit, pagpapanatili, at pagpapaunlad nito.

Samantala, binigyang-diin ng United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization o UNESCO (2003) na maaaring maiugnay ang panganganib ng isang wika sa mga salik na pang-ekonomiya, panrelihiyon, pangkultura, at pang-edukasyon. Maaari din itong bunga ng negatibong pananaw ng isang komunidad sa sarili nitong wika.

𝗡𝗴𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁, 𝗮𝗻𝗼-𝗮𝗻𝗼 𝗻𝗴𝗮 𝗯𝗮 𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗴𝗮 𝗽𝗮𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗯 𝗻𝗮 𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘀𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝗸𝗮?

Una, kapag hindi na ginagamit o sinasalita ng kabataan sa isang komunidad ang wikang ginagamit ng kanilang mga magulang. Ikalawa, kapag patuloy na nababawasan ang bilang ng mga taong kabilang sa isang etnolingguwistikong pangkat na gumagamit ng naturang wika (Cahill, 1999).

Bunga nito, mahalagang bigyang-pansin ang patuloy na paggamit at pagpapasa ng wika sa kabataan, sapagkat kung hindi ito maipapasa sa susunod na henerasyon, unti-unti ring mawawala ang mahalagang bahagi ng kultura at pagkakakilanlan ng isang komunidad. Higit pa rito, ang pagkawala ng wika ay nangangahulugan din ng pagkawala ng mga bagay na nakapaloob dito.

Hindi lamang mga salita ang nawawala kapag namamatay ang isang wika. Kasabay nito ang unti-unting pagkawala ng mga kuwento, paniniwala, karanasan, kaalaman, at kulturang nakapaloob dito.

Sa isang bansang hitik sa kultura at tradisyon, nararapat lamang na maging bahagi tayo ng pagpapanatili sa mga wikang bumubuo sa ating pagkakakilanlan. Sapagkat ang wika ay hindi lamang paraan ng pakikipag-usap—ito ay pamana ng nakaraan, tinig ng kasalukuyan, at tulay patungo sa susunod na henerasyon.

This temporary arrangement has been approved by the Head of Security, Mr. Andy, to help prevent students from parking their vehicles along the sidewalk outside the campus gate.
