Isn’t this a bit late? If you ask us, No. 10 would have been the more apt (but unfortunate) choice.
” ‘Selfie,’ which was first chosen ‘Word of the Year’ by the Oxford Dictionaries in 2013, has been chosen as ‘Word of the Year’ by the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) for 2014,” reports Nestor Corrales on Inquirer.net.
Aside from selfie, other words which the NCCA considered were:
1. bossing
2. CCTV
3. endo
4. Filipinas
5. hashtag
6. imba
7. kalakal
8. PDAF
9. peg
10 riding-in-tandem
11. storm surge
12. whistle-blower
