Abstract
The K to 12 Program of the Department of Education in the Philippines was implemented in 2012. Some implications of the K to 12 Program include the following: graduates will be better prepared for higher education; graduates will have a better mastery of basics, and remedial courses will no longer be necessary, graduates will be better prepared for work, thus they can go directly to work. One of features of this program is the Teaching of Mother Tongue and Multilingual Education. The primary purpose of this study is to determine the competencies of teachers in the teaching of mother tongue and/or use of MTB-MLE as medium of instruction. Secondly, it is also aimed to determine the pedagogical practices of teachers in the teaching of MTB-MLE.
