“…Another valuable work in this discourse is written by Claudio (2015). This paper presents a good critique of the arguments presented by Constantino, pointing out that the concept of "nationalism" is born within the traditions of western liberalism and socialism.…”

“…On the other hand, the works of Osias provided good critique by giving a broader perspective and historical notes relating to the decisions to use English as a medium of instruction during the American period, a thing that could still be true today in the context of a more globalized world and a more culturally diverse creation of the concept of nationhood. While Constantino's position is a very Filipino-centric tendency, at least according to the critique of Claudio (2015), the critiques of the former on the use of English as a medium of instruction and as an instrument of subjugation is still an important concept to reflect on.…”

This paper explored the literature on the implementation of "Mother Tongue Based-Multilingual Education" in the Philippines using the Postcolonial lens expressed by Constantino and Osias. It argues that the program is misunderstood among its stakeholders, and there have been lapses in its planning and implementation. This paper attempts to reconcile ideological and pragmatic principles that underly the MTB-MLE program in the Philippines. It was argued that the failure of the program was not due to it being theoretically ungrounded. Still, on the implementation side, as evidenced by the lack of reference materials and instructional materials, the skill gap between the teachers and the necessary language skills is also apparent, aside from the unforeseen challenges concerning the multilingual classroom contexts.

“…Despite its limited accessibility, the state school system instilled schooling as a normative goal. It produced exemplars who achieved upward mobility through schooling and a cadre of Filipino pedagogues who bolstered schooling's value (Margold 1995: 386–90; see also Claudio 2015). It also, unwittingly, reinforced the devaluation of manual labor, which the Americans had blamed on their predecessors.…”

An Inheritance that Cannot Be Stolen: Schooling, Kinship, and Personhood in Post-1945 Central Philippines

This article seeks a deeper understanding of inheritance by examining how kinship and personhood propel, and are altered by, schooling. It foregrounds kinship's and personhood's transformative and historical dimensions with an eye to their complexity and unevenness. The post-1945 generation in the central Philippines considers schooling (edukasyon) as their inheritance from their parents, who had few or no educational credentials themselves. This view reflects edukasyon’s increased value after the war, how people both judge and emulate the old landed elite, and the ongoing salience and elaboration of hierarchical parent-child ties. Alongside this view, children are recognized as completing, redeeming, and compensating for their parents. Attainment of edukasyon is seen to require not only personal striving but also solidarity and sacrifices among siblings. Yet, edukasyon also fosters autonomy and at times severs kinship ties. Finally, as an inheritance, edukasyon both depends upon and generates inequality, with long-term intergenerational implications.

“…Chapter 1 (pp. 23–43), which previously appeared in Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints (see Claudio, ) delves into the life and pedagogical work of bureaucrat, statesman, and educator Camilo Osias. Premised on a critique of Constantino’s seminal essay, “The Miseducation of the Filipino,” the chapter argues for the possibility of an internationalist and outward‐looking nationalism—that is, a nationalism that is “broader in its political purview than Constantino’s” (p. 24).…”
