On 8 October 2024, the University of Alberta hosted a lecture event called, "Navigating Multilingual Realities: The Language Dynamics and Policy in the Philippines" by University of the Philippines - Diliman Dr. Jayson D. Petras.
The lecture navigated on the complex linguistic reality shaped by national policies and local practices, and explored the historical and contemporary evolution of language policies within the Philippines, with the ongoing challenges of balancing the use of Filipino and local languages against the dominance of English. In this context, the 1989 Language Policy of the University of the Philippines was discussed.
