LoginWhat's in a name, especially if you only change a letter? Plenty it seems, if it's a country's name. Then history, politics, national angst about identity, and the cost of changing a nation's seals and currency all end up in a stew of controversy. Many Filipinos reacted strongly, albeit belatedly, after the Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino KWF issued a resolution last April to use "Filipinas" instead of "Pilipinas," saying the new term recognizes the country's history and development as a nation. National Artist and KWF president Virgilio Almario, a leading advocate of the change, has urged the country to also lose the name "Philippines," a vestige of American colonialism. Others, however, point out that even "Filipinas" is rooted in Spanish colonialism, and when searched on Google yields dating sites for foreign men looking for brown-skinned wives. A article by Almario — a signatory to the resolution — argued that the existence of three names for the country is a symptom of national confusion. Published July 2, pm.

Its functions were to study, coordinate and regulate all government and private entities engaged in social services. In addition to coordinating services of all public and private social welfare institutions, the Bureau also managed all public child-caring institutions and the provision of child welfare services.
