In DepEd Order No. 004 series of 2023, signed by VP and DepEd Sec. Sara Duterte, the department directed the “immediate dissemination of and strict compliance” of the amended version of the “Panatang Makabayan” which featured a change in terminology READ:
After consultations with linguists and experts, the Department of Education released an amended version of the “Panatang Makabayan.”
The Linguistic Society of the Philippines, DepEd said, “found the proposal for the use of ‘nananalangin’ to be well-written and sufficiently rationalized.” While the Language Study Center of the Philippine Normal University had a “different opinion” on this move, DepEd noted that it still “expressed its support for the final decision” of OUCT on the matter.
“Nanalangin,” DepEd added, is also “more inclusive and appropriate as it does not refer to specific religions, and at the same time, it encompasses indigenous belief systems.”
