This document discusses efforts to digitize Philippine languages through the eWika project. The project aims to build a Philippine corpus containing text, speech, and sign language data across the country's 171 languages and 17 regions. It also outlines challenges in developing needed language resources and tools, such as lexicons, morphological analyzers, part-of-speech taggers, and translation rules, given the lack of existing digital language data for many Philippine languages.
