Mandarin Chinese[a][b] is the primary formal Chinese language taught academically to Chinese Filipinos in Chinese Filipino schools[4] and across other schools and institutions in the Philippines,[5] especially as the formal written Chinese language.
Both Standard Chinese (PRC) (known in simplified Chinese: 华语; traditional Chinese: 華語; pinyin: Huáyǔ; Zhuyin Fuhao: ㄏㄨㄚˊ ㄩˇ) and Taiwanese Mandarin (ROC) (known in many schools in Hokkien Chinese: 國語; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: kok-gí) are taught and spoken in the Philippines depending on the school, with some schools and speakers using simplified Chinese characters, some using traditional Chinese characters, and some using a mixture of both. Meanwhile, Chinese-language publications have traditionally used traditional Chinese characters. In modern times, it is usually predominantly written horizontally, but some schools, such as Chiang Kai Shek College, and newspapers, such as United Daily News, sometimes traditionally write it vertically.
Mandarin Chinese is formally used in print publications in Chinese-language newspapers and books in the Philippines, such as World News, United Daily News, Chinese Commercial News, and many others.
