Take a look at this article which explores the actions made by UP student councils in advocating for the inclusion of FSL as a general education course in the university.

Citing the limited number of schools that teach Filipino Sign Language (FSL), UP student councils called on the university to offer FSL classes to all students across its campuses.

💡Did you know that as far as 2013, there were FSL-related courses already being offered in UP Diliman?

In September 2018, University of the Philippines System Filipino Sign Language Task Force was formally established through Administrative Order No. PDLC 19-57. This group was tasked to facilitate the implementation of RA 11106.

Aside from the steps taken by the University, FSL-related classes are also offered in the College of Education and the College of Social Sciences and Philosophy.

As we continue our campaign for the institutionalization of FSL classes in UP Diliman, let us look at what UP Diliman has contributed so far towards inclusivity for the Filipino Deaf Community.

Alam niyo ba na malayo na ang narating upang ma-develop ang FSL? 🤔🤔🤔

💡Mula pa sa panahon ng pananakop ng mga Kastila, may ginagamit nang uri ng sign language upang makipag-usap sa mga Deaf sa Pilipinas. Noong una, gumamit ang mga banyagang pari ng sign language para sa pagpapalaganap ng Kristiyanismo sa bansa. Kinalaunan, ito ay naging paraan upang turuan ang mga Deaf.

💡Ayon sa mga iskolar, umusbong ang FSL noong 1900s nang itinatag ang Manila School for the Deaf. Halos isang siglo mula nang umusbong ang FSL, ito ay naging opisyal at pambansang lenggwahe nang ipinasa noong 2018 ang RA 11106 o ang Filipino Sign Language Act.

❗Sa pagpapatuloy ng ating kampanya para sa institusyonalisayon ng FSL bilang isang GE course sa UP Diliman, ating silipin ang naging kasaysayan ng wikang ito. Sa pagtanaw sa nakaraan, nawa’y lumalim ang ating pag-unawa at pagpapahalaga sa FSL.
