Of course we will not totally remove spanish because it is part of our history. We will just include this language in history.
Now, a lot of people is going to middle east for work. If you know how to speak arabic it would be a great advantage for you.

No. Spanish was the official language of the country and it is being reinstated in 2008 I believe. The traditional languages and dialects of the country also use loan words from Spanish. It should be ok to make it an option to teach other languages such as arabic. In the US, higher education provides the option of other languages such as Chinese or Spanish which are dominant languages (besides English) in a particular region.
Edit: It would not be racist to not teach arabic in schools, the Arabic language is not a race. I am not Filipino nor of Arabic decent. I live in Southern California.

No. Use the most common Philippine language: Tagalog. or some other like Cebuano, etc... It is their country. They should have the right to use any of their native languages, plus Enlglish. Not Spanish or Arabic!

They never taught Spanish in my school. Or Arabic. (I am 100% filipina, live and study at the Philippines)

That is very interesting information. Is it because there is a high volume of muslim people? Why do they want to replace it with Arabic? Thanks.

Both languages should be allowed. If not, it´s just pure racism!
