ON ARTICLE XIV: HONORING THE FILIPINO LANGUAGE

Article XIV is titled Education, Science and Technology, Arts, Culture and Sports.

Note that the subheading on Language missing. Thus the legitimate question; "Was the exclusion deliberate?"

The Article is composed of 19 Sections and 5 Subheadings:

• EDUCATION - Sections 1 to 5;
• LANGUAGE - Sections 6 to 9;
• SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY - Sections 10 t0 13;
• ARTS AND CULTURE - Sections 14 to 18; and,
• SPORTS - Section 19.

While there is no denying that constitutional provisions on Language (Sections 6 to 9) part of Article XIV, it seems rather odd, if not say incomprehnsible, that unlike all the subheadings under this Article (Education, Science and Technology, Arts, Culture and Sports) which are all properly represented in the Article Title, notice that the SUBHEADING ON LANGUAGE seems to have been singled-out.

Whether omitted deliberately or excluded due to honest mistake, the irregularity is simply inexcusable considering the degree of diligence required in the drafting of legal documents, let alone of the Constitution. That it is undebatable the text have been constructed by brilliant legal minds, it is simply difficult to surmise that proofreaders and grammarians as brilliant were not otherwise employed in the writing of its final and official draft.

Thus the foregoing inquiry; is the omission/exclusion a matter of deliberate scheme or is the Filipino to consider the matter simply an honest mistake that is nonetheless inexcusable?

Given the observation, how important is an amendatory bill for purposes of correction? Or is the Filipino just about to consider the matter as trivial as the foregoing commentary.

The labels and headers are presented as in the original, official legislation. I don't think you're likely to find answers here on Wikisource as to why it was originally written that way. —Beleg Tâl (talk) 20:08, 4 July 2017 (UTC)
