• This was based on the agreement in the 1934 Constitutional Convention
• This involved a meeting formed to draft the independent government of the Philippines
• Delegate Felipe R. Jose delivered a speech, and this part influenced the selection of the National Language.
• "We need to show the world that we are no longer citizens under the Flag of Spain, under the shadow of the American Flag. We need to cherish the freedom and soul of the nation now, the native language. We can only be worthy of freedom if we can protect the holy soul of the nation, the native language. Because the language, the language of any nation in the universe is what uses an effective tool in expressing their feelings, in discovering knowledge and defending rights."
• The majority at the convention realized this and formed the Committee on Official Language.
• They conducted public hearings and accepted petitions.
• The bias towards a native language was explained because:
• "All the vernaculars are outgrowths or branches of the Malay
• The vernaculars have very many terms in common and are almost similar in inflection and variation
• Ease and rapidity with which one tribe learns and uses another vernacular
• Wide diffusion of Tagalog in provinces not speaking it, notwithstanding the absence of encouragement for its use."
• As a result, the decision was made to "base the National Language on one of the native languages" in the 1935 Constitution
