Filipinos are super friendly, love how chill they are. The last time I also visited Cebu, at night market, they just pulled out the speakers and sang karaoke for 3 hours
Filipinos are indeed known for their warmth and hospitality. Singing karaoke at the night market sounds like a fantastic way to bring people together and enjoy some good music.
Im american, and my mom is a filipino. All i can really say is philippines is a nice country. there's a lot of nice people (very welcoming), delicious foods and beautiful places.
The Philippines really is a wonderful place, isn't it? The people are so warm and friendly, the food is delicious, and the scenery is just breathtaking. 😊🇵🇭
Filipinos are good in english because the language is taught at a very young age, English subjects are taught from kindergarten to college level. Its because of American colonization. To sum it up, Filipinos are learning the english language their whole school life. But it is interesting to know that teachers can mix many languages to explain lessons to students.
Filipinos are basically learning English throughout their entire school journey. It's fascinating how teachers can use different languages to help students understand lessons better. It shows the diverse and rich culture of the Philippines! 😊🌟
That is a bold lie. It’s not taught in schools nor can people speak or understand it. God no. Been here 6 months. Still haven’t found one fluent speaker.
It mostly depends on the education of the Pilipino, though most speak fluently through singing (English songs/ understanding what the song meant depends on the singer). I work in the Philippines and I know that they speak it mostly when we are in school, work related, or in media (news and entertainment). But they mainly speak in Tagalot among friends and family. They love mixing the local languages and English, I sometimes come across Filipino youtube videos, and they often switch between Tagalot and English, I wonder if it would be annoying for the audience, but it seems that it is a common thing in the Phillipines.
I think many parents should consider teaching both Tagalog and English to their kids, as my parents did. It's very ignorant to me when some people choose English over their mother tongue, such as Tagalog in Manila. I remember having a conversation with a teenager in a cafe in Manila; I spoke Tagalog, but he only replied in English.
Absolutely! Teaching both Tagalog and English to kids is a fantastic idea, just like your parents did for you. It's important to value and preserve our mother tongue while also embracing other languages like English. Everyone has their own preferences when it comes to language, but being able to speak both Tagalog and English opens up so many opportunities for communication and connection. 😊🌟
Tagalog is only used in NCR. Why would you want it for the rest of the country? It is in the best interest of the Philippines to focus on English. If a third language has to be learned, then a popular language like Spanish should be the number one choice.
@@jasonbond8730 Will correct you here. Tagalog is also spoken outside NCR. Bulacan is not part of NCR and they speak Tagalog (Bulakeno dialect). Cavite and Laguna (not NCR but CALABARZON) also speak Tagalog. Parts of Bicol (Cam Norte) speak Tagalog. The national language Filipino is mainly based on Tagalog, and is widely used in government and media, so people all over the country can at least understand it, if not fluent. Filipino is mainly based on Tagalog for a lot of reasons -- one of them is that the national government was (and still is) in Manila when Pres. Quezon signed the decree to create the national language. Filipino and English are the two official languages of the Philippines. But I agree with you that English should remain a focus to keep our workforce globally competitive.
Thanks for sharing 😊It’s great that the Philippines has such a rich linguistic diversity with Filipino, English, Spanish, and regional dialects. It must make communication across different areas really interesting!
It's true though, but it's expected as most people can spend their day without having to speak English. Written English is ubiquitous, but Tagalog (or other regional languages) is always preferred as medium for communication.
FYI - majority of filipinos speak english, why? Philippines used to be a US Colony ( for 50 years ).. a US Commonwealth and just One step to being A State of America. As Fate would have it Hawaii and Alaska were chosen to be the 49th and 50th state instead of the philippines. The Thomasians Teachers were sent to the philippines after the Treaty of Paris ( were philippines was bought by America from Spain for $ 20M ) to teach english to the populace who were then fluent and proficient in writing and speaking Spanish. But after WW II , philippines assert its independence.. AMERICA relinquish its control over the archepelago, thus we lost the American ENGLISH proficiency before we even master it.. today what is left is the Filipino way of speaking English with a mixture of words from different languages, and accents from different regions.
Lived in Philippines 10 years… most Filipinos speak better English than other Asian countries except Singapore but it’s not a clear English by international standards. English in Manila and the NCR is pretty bad, it's better in Cebu and even parts of Mindanao. But to a real native English speaker from the UK, US, Canada and Australia it can be a little humorous to hear. Often, it’s English with Tagalog grammar superimposed. For example, many wouldn’t say “Warren's cousin wants to see you”, but “the cousin of Warren wants to see you.” Of course the possessive case is preferred over using the preposition. So, it’s a common usage error. Also, there's no gender for personal pronouns in Tagalog. I have been called both a he and a she! Hilarious and very incorrect. Often people here have no idea what I am saying and say "slang," but that's incorrect also. There listening skills are very bad. My English is very clear and most professionals here have no problem understanding me. However, the average Pinoy is lost listing to me. So, no, sorry, Pinoy English is not that good overall.

Not true😅
Filipinos know English but they’re shy when they speak it as they aren’t confident.
Or because we have no choice, "if you can't speak English, you're stupid"
That is a bold lie. It’s not taught in schools nor can people speak or understand it. God no. Been here 6 months. Still haven’t found one fluent speaker.

It's about how they communicate naturally! 😊🇵🇭
it's totally your nice format to do interview, I'm looking forward to the new content guys !!!!
Thank you so much for your kind words and support! 🌟 We're thrilled to hear you're enjoying our videos

incredible interviews done by incredible people
Thank you!
Its 7,641 islands. The lady in black shirts' knowledge is not yet updated
English is today is a universal language
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! It's true that English has become a global language and is widely used for communication across the world. 🌍
We speak Filipino and English and some also Spanish. The rest are dialects from different regions.
Others (180 plus) are real languages not dialects. Do your research.
Thanks for sharing 😊It’s great that the Philippines has such a rich linguistic diversity with Filipino, English, Spanish, and regional dialects. It must make communication across different areas really interesting!
I'm from Brazil ,well i did not you guys are really good in english
Why not spain???🤔
Good
Not all Filipinos speak pure English. They speak more Taglish.😊
😮
That's difficulty to me hearing the English with Visayan and Tagalog dialect
Now do,
Can all Filipinos speak Filipino?
😂
Lmao.. people in the Philippines speak English, and so do Americans, right? The question is : How come they are not Americans?🤣
I actually disagreed about that girl wearing a yellow shirt that was saying that most filipinos cannot speak english
It's true though, but it's expected as most people can spend their day without having to speak English. Written English is ubiquitous, but Tagalog (or other regional languages) is always preferred as medium for communication.
She's said the truth. Filipinos could barely speak English without mixing it up with Filipino words, hence Taglish.
God no. Been here 6 months. Still haven’t found one fluent speaker.
most philippinese people speak english, however, their reasoning and logic are very disappointing.

Thanks for sharing that history! The blend of Spanish, English, and native languages is something that makes the way Filipinos speak stand out 😉
