UNIÓN LATINA EXTENDS INVITATION TO ANGARA: The Secretary General of Unión Latina Jose Luis Dicenta has extended an invitation to Senator Edgardo J. Angara to become the Philippine’s official representative to the organization together with Cecile Guidote-Alvarez of UNESCO.

Unión Latina is an organization composed of 37 member-countries of the neolatina languages. The Philippines entered the organization in 1985 when Spanish was still an official language. Today, with the reintegration of Spanish language teaching in the high school curriculum, Union Latina hopes to see renewed interest in the language and culture of Spain and Latin America.
