In this paper, the extent of the contributions of state universities and colleges in Region 02, Philippines is aimed at evaluating the implementation of academic policies and programs in Filipino language. Results of the study reveal that all respondent administrators and faculty and almost all of the students confirmed that there is no program in Filipino as an academic discipline among the tertiary institutions. Results of the present study also reveal that Filipino language is not used as a medium of instruction as affirmed by the majority of the respondents. Likewise, as a medium in publications, a greater number of respondents vouch that none of their published books, scholarly articles, theses and journals were written in Filipino which clearly indicates that English language is the medium in all of these programs except in Filipino courses. In terms of having their own language policy and programs in Filipino, result shows that there is none. Quantitative analysis using Z-test, however, shows that there is no significant difference on the attitude of administrators, faculty and students in the implementation of national language policies and programs in Filipino. These findings indicate that institutional language planning of state universities and colleges lack support and advocacy in the intellectualization of Filipino. It is therefore recommended that further evaluation in the implementation of academic language policies and programs in Filipino of state universities and colleges be conducted in other regions of the Philippines.
