The regional languages are the auxiliary official languages in theregions and shall serve as auxiliary media of instruction therein. Spanish and Arabic shall be promoted on a voluntary and optionalbasis. Contrary to the contention that the propagation of English is incompatible with aationalistic education, the above Constitutional provision expressly recognizes English one of the official languages for purposes of communication and instruction.  aNationalistic Education.  aEnglish language development.  aBunag, Delia A.  aRamos H.Felicisima
