Problematisasion ti/iti Problema
Adda miskonsepsion ti kaaduan iti Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual
Education: a daytoy ket maipanggep laeng iti medium ti instruksion1
mangal-allilaw daytoy a kapanunotan a di tayo pakababalawan kadagiti
manursuro a sumaludsod ti: why do they still need to learn what they already
know?2
Talaga kadi nga ammotayo ti ammotayo? Ana kadi ti ammotayo kadagiti
ammotayo?
Napartuat ti pagsasao iti naisangsangayan a kapadasan dagiti tao iti
lubongda3. Ngarud, ti pagsasao ket haan laeng a pagsasao. Insurat ni Aurelio
S. Agcaoili iti obrana a Kontemporaneo a Diksionario nga Ilokano-Ingles,
It is through language that we are knowncollectively identified: we are
Ilokano precisely because the Ilokano language mediates us. It is a marker
and the first marker. And this is the first marker is for life. We cannot run
away from this mark however much we try3

Ditoy a maamuantayo a ti pagsasao ket ti mangibabaet kadatayo iti

kinasiasinnotayo, natura naturata.
Imbaga pay ni Martin Heidegger iti On the Way to Language:
Those differences do not solely nor primarily grow out of different movement
patterns of the organs of speech. The landscape, and that means the earth,
speaks in them differently each time. But the mouth is not merely a kind of
organ of the bodybody and mouth are part of the earths flow and growth in
which we mortals flourish, and from which we receive the soundness of our
roots. If we lose the earth, of course, we also lose the roots.4
Ngarud, paset laeng ti MTB-MLE ti medium ti instruksion gapu ta ti pagsasao
ket nalablabes pay iti linguistiko a kaipapananna kas kuna ni Rex-Belli l.
Alejandro iti Panagtagikua: to bring Language as Iluko to Iluko in Heideggers
Way to Language:
Every time we speak language, language itself is never the content. At all
times, languages is all about things, event, occurrences, persons, or matters of
concern, but never about the language itself. Language has never been put into
language. But the matter of concern, the essential being of a language, already
touches us in thought but no word for it other than vague assertion, the nature
of language. Ever since man started to speak, no word yet stand for the matter
at hand, for every time we attempt to capture this object of thought we leave
the region where language itself, in its essential being, touches our thought as
it is articulated into speech and hence becoming something else other than
itselfa wordan entrance into the realm of metalinguistics.5
Ti MTB-MLE ket kontektualisasion ti panagisuro iti adal-a-sursuro6. No
suroten daytoy a kapanunotan, magun-odtayo ti nailanad iti Deklarasion ti
Polisia ti R.A 10533:

An empowered individual who has learned, through a program that is rooted

on educational principles and geared towards excellence, the foundations for
learning throughout life, the competence to engage in work and be productive,
the ability to coexist in fruitful harmony with local and global communities,
the capability to engage in autonomous, creative, and critical thinking, and the
capacity and the willingness to transform others and ones self. 6
Ngem kasano a kakontektualisado ti agdama a kurikulum kas kadagiti
argumento a naibatad iti ngato?
No man pay amin a subjeto ket rumbeng nga umannugot kadaytoy a
revolusion ti edukasion, kitaentayo ti Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao (EsP) ti
agdama a kurikulum ken ti panggepna:
Linangin at paunlarin ang pagkataong etikal ng mag-aaral. Naglalayon din
itong din itong gabayan ang mga mag-aaral na mahanap/matagpuan ang
kabuluhan ng kaniyang buhay, ang papel niya sa lipunang Pilipino upang
makibahagi sa pagtatayo ng pamayanang pinaiiral ng katotohanan, kalayaan,
katarungan, at pagmamahal.7
Nakabasar pay laeng dagitoy iti makalaud a filosopia, sikologia, ken pammati
a di pulos rumbeng a pagmennamennaan dagiti Filipino. Sakit daytoy ti
sistema ti edukasion a manglapped kadatayo iti realisasion ti MTB-MLE kas
kuna ni Agcaoili iti With MTB-MLE Turn, Now, We Make the Road While
Walking a kariten ita ti agdama nga adalan:
it is a struggle fraught with the vagaries of education regimes that run the
gamut from the faddish to the imitativefrom what is the newest theory from
the West to what we can do to follow the western educators and validate in our
local settings, what they are talking about. It has been an educational set-up

that has left us with a tacit knowledge: if it were not from the West it does not
have any validity, meaning, and relevance. 8
Iti sabali a bangir, adda met bassit kinakontekstualisidad iti gagem ti A Study
of The Philippine Values Education Program ni Lourdes R. Quisumbing nga
adda pay laeng tugotna iti agdama a ESP Curriculum Guide kas sungbat iti
tesisna a Instituting values education in a multicultural ken pluralistic society
is a controversial issue nga isuna mismo ti nangtraydor gapu ta iti
impangrunana values education framework ket addaan ti panggep a: the
development of a person commited to building a free, democratic, peaceful,
and progressive nation a plagirismo ti kapanunotan ni Dati a Pangulo
Corazon C. Aquino ken ti impangpangurunana a demokrasia.
Ana ti nation nga ibagbaga ni Quisumbing iti objektibna? No ti etimologia a
natio, manipud iti pagsasao a Latin, a nakaiyanakan ti kayatna sawen, ana ken
sadinno ti nation iti multilinguistiko ken pluralistiko a kinaagpaysuan iti
Filipinas?
Nalawag ti gagem ti K to 12 a pakairamanan ti MTB-MLE: liberalisasion.
Ngem ti saludsod, magun-odtayo ngata daytoy iti agdama a balabala ti EsP a
mangiyas-asideg kadatayo iti kinanasionalistiko ket kinapatritiko ngem iyadadayonatayo iti nakaiparsuantayo ken dagiti tawid nga adal-a-sursuro a gagem
ti MTB-MLE a mausar ken mapabaknang?
Kadagitoy nga argumento a nagutugot ti agdama nga adalan a mangsukisok
kadagiti napili a Literatura Ilokana ti axiologia wenno tagipatgen a mausarto
iti EsP para iti realisasion ti MTB-MLE.
Isingasing ti panagsukimat kadagiti naisursurat a literatura kas kuna ti
Kontemporaneo a Diksionario nga Ingles-Ilokano Ilokano-Ingles:

literary text, both oral and written, are reflecting the life, thoughts,
aspiration, reflection, meditations, and artistic experiences of the people.9
Amunamunan pay daytoy ni Roy V. Aragon iti maysa a chat iti agdama nga
adalan maipanggep met laeng iti agdama a papel:
agarup amin a sinurat ket naramenan iti tagipatgen kadagiti tema a
maipapan iti Ilokano values, moral, ken ethics.10
Rekognisaren met ti adalan ti proposision ni Rosario Torres-Yu iti The State of
Philippine Literature maipanggep iti akem ti literatura iti liberalisasion:
The role of literature in social transformation is premised on the assumption
that literature possesses a subversive force inherent in its language and
imagery which enables it to be free, to a certain extent, from the language of
the establishment. Thus, we find in literature the tradition of protest, and
unceasing opposition and subversion of a system that is brazenly against the
truth, justice, and democracy11
Maanalisarto dagiti napili a literatura iti (1) linguistic-anthropological
direction12 ken (2) cultural studies and discourse tapno maammuan ti
axiologia ni Ilokano.
Kadagupanna, namnamaen a daytoy ket mausarto a pagibasaran para iti
Ilokano Literature-Based Values Education.
