Netizens questions KWF’s ‘Word of the Year’

Have you heard the word ‘Fotobam’ before?

WTF!? Seriously Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino (KWF)? Fotobam?! Never heard of it… Just now when I saw your page.

fotobam

On the October 6 upload of the official page of Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino on Facebook, KWF explained, “Si Prop. Xiao Chua ang nagtanggol sa fotobam upang hiranging Salita ng Taon. Hinirang naman na mga runner up ang hugot ni Prop. Junilo Espiritu at ang milenyal ni Prop. Jayson Petras. #Sawikaan #SalitaNgTaon #FIT”

Netizen Alexander Dela Cruz commented on the post. He said, “Walang kakwenta kwenta, kelan ba may gumamit ng salitang fotobam?? Gagawa lang kayo ng salita ginaya nyo pa sa ibang salita, no wonder why filipinos doesn’t embrace the tagalog language anymore, mas ok pa sa kanila mahaluan ng ibang language dahil sa mga katangahan ng mga propesor na bulaan kagaya nyo”

KWF explained their side, “1. Ang tinatawag ninyong “paggaya” sa ibang salita ay isang paraan ng wikang Filipino upang angkinin, sa ortograpiya at leksikon nito, ang isang banyagang salita. Nagaganap ang mga paggaya / pag-angkin dahil buháy ang wika. Gayon ang nangyari sa leksikon ng wikang Ingles na umangkat sa leksikon ng Latin, French, German, atbp, at gayon din ang nangyayari sa wikang Filipino.

2. Kung negatibo para sa inyo na nahahaluan ng “ibang language” at “filipinos doesn’t (sic) embrace the tagalog language anymore,” maaari po ninyong balikan ang debate ng Konkon sa naging probisyong pangwika ng 1987 Konstitusyon. Maaari din po ninyong sangguniin ang mga iskolar sa wika na proponent ng wikang Filipino gaya ni E. Constantino kung ano ang wikang “Filipino” at kung ano ang kaso ng purismo na nais nitong tugunan.

3. Hindi lamang wikang Tagalog ang wikang sinasalita ng mga Filipino. Kung kaya ang paggigiit na maging pamantayan ang wikang Tagalog ay magiging problematiko.”

Another netizen Symon Carpiso questioned how they came up with the word of the year. He commented, “Hi Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino. Maari bang ilabas ninyo ang batayan sa pagpili sa #SalitaNgTaon. Eh tila mas gamitin pa ang salitang Hugot at Milenyal eh. ..”

Mylene Coral added, “sa totoo lang, wala pa akong nakita/narinig na gumamit ng “fotobam”. “potobamb” pa siguro, tho panay articulated lang, hindi talaga written. para kasing napaka hindi natural… ewan lang ah, pero mas ginagamit parin talaga yung mga runner up kesa sa nanalo.”
