Manuel Quezon and the National Language

See also the category "Talumpati." And whether you found what you were looking for or not, please leave a comment below so I can help you better.
Today is the birthday of Manuel L. Quezon (1878-1944), former president of the Philippines (1935-1944) and considered "father" of Filipino as the national language of the Philippines. For more information and links, see the post of Manuel L. Quezon III today. (Note: What you need is toward the end.)

It used to be that August 13-19 was National Language Week, but in 1997, the entire month of August was declared National Language Month by then-president Fidel V. Ramos. For more on the development of Filipino as the national language of the Philippines—including relevant laws and legislation—please see the speech delivered by Jimmy Lopez on 9 August 2004. (Note: The link leads to an article published in Manila Bulletin [24 August 2004] that can only be accessed at this time through Google's cache.)

Filipino Translation

Ngayon ang kaarawan ni Manuel L. Quezon (1878-1944), dating pangulo ng Pilipinas (1935-1944) at kinikilalang "tatay" ng Filipino bilang pambansang wika ng Pilipinas. Para sa karagdagang kaalaman at babasahin, pakikonsulta ang sinulat ni Manuel L. Quezon III ngayong araw. (Paalala: Nasa bandang dulo ang kailangan niyo.)

Noong una, ipinagdiriwang lamang ang Linggo ng Wika tuwing ika-13 hanggang ika-19 ng Agosto, pero noong 1997, idineklara ni dating-pangulong Fidel V. Ramos ang buong buwan ng Agosto bilang Buwan ng Wika. Para sa karagdagang kaalaman tungkol sa pagsulong ng Filipino bilang pambansang wika ng Pilipinas—kasama na ang mga batas na ipinasa ukol dito—pakibasa ang talumpati ni Jimmy Lopez noong ika-9 ng Agosto 2004. (Paalala: Ang talumpati ay inilathala sa Manila Bulletin [24 August 2004] pero maaari lamang itong basahin sa kasalukuyan sa pamamagitan ng cache ng Google.)
