MALAYBALAY CITY – Rep. Edcel C. Lagman of Albay has filed a resolution asking three committees of the House of Representatives to conduct an inquiry in aid of legislation on the “unauthorized and illegal issuance” by the Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino from libraries and schools five books in Filipino for being “subversive” and “anti-government.”Lagman’s resolution came on the heels of a KWF memorandum dated Aug.
The resolution, addressed to the committees on human rights, basic education and culture, and higher and technical education, invoked the constitutional safeguards on freedom of expression and academic freedom. He noted that the memorandum, which was signed only by two of 11 KWF commissioners, Carmelita Abdurahman and Benjamin Mendilo, does not have the conformity of the requisite majority of the commissioners, as well as the imprimatur of the Chairman, Dr. Arthur Casanova.
“It is unfortunate that these allegations, which are untrue and unfounded, are being used by people who are pushing their own agendas. This is but the latest in a series of actions being aimed against me to destroy my character and to disrupt efforts to strengthen and cleanse the KWF,” he added.
