VII.  Other services or contributions which are academically
          notable in your discipline.

          I was able to contribute significantly to the adoption  and development of the Filipino national language. The 1971 Constitutional Convention adopted the proposal, popularly known as  the "universal approach", submitted by the UP Department of Filipino and Philippine Literature and the Department of Linguistics, both of which I was the chairman from 1969 to 1972, for the development of Filipino as the national language of the Philippines in place of Pilipino. Subsequently, the 1986 Constitutional Commission adopted Filipino as the national language of the country even though as early as 1970 the UP had already adopted and started using this language as the national language. Thus the Filipino national language is the distinct contribution of  the UP whose linguists were singularly consulted by the 1986      Constitutional Commission for the adoption of this language   by the 1987 Constitution as the national language of the      Philippines.

          I was one of the three U.P. faculty members who make decisive contributions to the framing of the final version of       the law entitled "AN ACT CREATING THE COMMISSION OF THE  FILIPINO LANGUAGE, PRESCRIBING ITS POWERS, DUTIES, AND  FUNCTIONS, APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR, AND FOR OTHER             PURPOSES."

         I have attended meetings and conferences in linguistics    and Austronesian languages in the USA, Great Britain, Japan,  Malaysia, Thailand, Moscow and Jakarta in which I read papers. I have attended far more meetings and conferences (including symposiums, seminars and workshops) in the Philippines on linguistics, Philippine languages, language in education, language in science and technology, folklore, and other topics. In almost all these academic gatherings, I was a paper reader, or a discussant, or a reactor.

  In 1998, I received the FOK YING TUNG PRIZE (Southeast  Asia) "in recognition of his contribution to the promotion of national and cultural development in Southeast Asia".
