English had been taught in most Filipino schools since the Americans took the country over from Spain, in the end of the 1800's. It is weird that many Europeans and Americans are still surprised that Filipinos understand and speak English. If they just have a little bit of knowledge of world history and what happened to the Philippines after the American/Spanish war, they would have known this. The Philippines actually has one of the biggest English speaking populations in the world.
bro it is just clout for content creation
I have a 3 yrs old child i did not teach her English but she is an English speaker because she is always watching peppa pig and blippi 😂😂😂
For places in the Philippines outside Manila (or places where Filipino is mainly used). We use the local language + Filipino & Enlish (coz these two are the two languages known by everyone in general.
Taglish is a combinations of 3 major languages, tagalog, Spanish and English called Taglish. Spanish English is always part of Philippines.
Younger generations they think do not know they are speaking 3 languages
I'm Filipino and I work for a US-based employer. Speaking and expressing in English is like breathing to me at this point lmao
Some restaurants in America the servers can barely speak English.
Historically, we were invaded by Spanish, Japan and America. And at present a lot of tourist is coming in. Therefore to be able to interact globally, we are being encouraged to use English in our schools.
But no worries dude, when you visit here in the Philippines, you can interact with any of us using English anywhere in the country, even to a 7 year old kid. They would talk to you.
Nice content. Many thanks.😊
I am Filipino, living in Europe, and based on my observation, Filipinos in general are way more proficient in the English language than most of the Europeans and other nationalities (except for British people) that I have encountered here. Also, I have two nieces ages 10 & 5 who were born and raised in the Philippines, but their first language is English. It's actually not a flex, because in my opinion, they should be more fluent in Filipino (Tagalog).
Actually, there's a Filipino dialect that are Spanish based. It is called "Chavacano" and people from Zamboanga, Philippines are fluent on that said dialect. You might want to react into it :)
It's a creole, a mixed language
And I think you meant language, not dialect.
Chavacano is not a dialect. It is a creole language.
A creole is a language constructed from the languages of two different cultures, each of which have their own tongues. The development of a creole often takes place after the development of a pidgin, which is a simple tongue composed of words from either parent language.
Languages, not dialects. There are even more dialects than languages obviously, but Tagalog is a language and Chavacano is also a language. Personally, my mother tongue is Cebuano, which is also a separate language.
I'm Bisaya but can speak fluent Chavacano. In Zamboanga we say: El Chavacano un poquito Español ❤
I'm interested in video because of you😂. But i enjoyed watching your video now. By the way new subscriber here... ❤❤❤
English is just normal for us Filipinos that’s our second language
I promise you they know how to speak English it's just the pressure 😂
In southern part they don't speak much tagalog,they spoke they're native language like Visayan, & in Mindanao also spoke mostly Visayan language.
True I can speak Tagalog but deep Tagalog words I’m struggling… from bisaya/cebuano/waray
Now you need to watch the opposite ,them force to speak pure tagalog🤣🤣🤣 ,we cant😆
In the southern part of the Philippines are more English speaking than Tagalog 😅 specially in Cebu. I think educated Pilipino are good in English and the rest are good in English writing like me.
English Fluency Rates began to dive when "Filipino" was mandated to be the Primary Medium of Instruction in the 1987 Constitution, after the 1896 People Power Revolution. Before then the 1935 and 1972 Constitutions gave to preference to native languages. I'm 51 and already used English for the most part until the rules changed after my Elementary School.
The counterpoint to using English is that my Filipino Fluency was poor and all my FIL grades reflected that. I was given a "Pity Pass" in college Land Reform and Taxation class so I could graduate in time and return to the United States. That class was exclusively conducted in Filipino and to me the textbook was unintelligible; like if you wanted me to highlight words I didn't understand, you might as well paint all the pages Neon Yellow.
Filipino is the national language. Filipino and English are the official languages.
Filipino is the national language of the Philippines. It's based on Tagalog, but it has also incorporated words from other Philippine languages. It serves as a symbol of national identity and is intended to be a language that can be understood and used by people from different regions of the country.
English is one of the official languages of the Philippines, along with Filipino. This means it's used in government, education, and business.
Our constitution is also written in English.
This is based on research.
English is our 2nd language
Older people can speak fluently in English. They have good English diction. Especially those who are educated during the American occupation!
Wrong. They are struggling too because they were taught to speak Spanish before
@HisLife1994 Gosh, we're did you get your history? Can you imagine how fluent we Filipinos are if the Spaniards just gave the Filipinos to learn how to speak in Spanish? You're funny. LOL!
Filipinos can write better in English but hesitant to speak ,most likely due to lack of practice or low self confidence but it depends which social group these people they belong. Some schools especially those elite schools English is normal way of conversation.
Filipino is supposed to be a living adaptive language based on tagalog. It's mostly spoken in Luzon area. In Visayas & Mindanao mostly speak Bisaya based than Filipino on a day to day conversation, though most can speak & understand Filipino since it is taught in school and used in Philippine Movies and TV programs 😅
We can write full english but stutter when speak full english a very common thing. Taglish also comes naturally
im here in saudi i speak in english arabic and tagalog mixed 😂😂😂😂
"Ang hindi magmahal sa sariling wika, ay mahigit pa sa hayop at malansang isda" - Jose P. Rizal
Sa dami ng lengwahe natin sa Pilipinas, I guess hindi na talaga advisable ung kasabihan na yan. Applicable yan kung taga Pangasina ka and yet hindi ka marunong ng Ilocano or taga Visaya ka and yet hindi ka marunong mag cebuano or waray...at kung lumaki ka naman sa Manila, purong tagalog lang alam ko in this case, papano ko sasabihing mahalin ko ang sariling wika?
@abetskychua Yung Pambansang Lenggwahe po na Filipino Yung tinutukoy ko vs English language.
@abetskychua Ang Pambansang Wika po ng Pilipinas na Ang tawag ay "Filipino" ang tinutukoy rito.
@@Mel-ev6dilol ang English ay official language yan part na ya n sa kultura Ng modern Filipinos Hindi na Yan applicable ng salita ni Rizal mo
@allynsworld8317 Did I say na Hindi part ng kultura ang English L? It's just one of the questions in the video if sa tingin NILA dadating ung point na hindi na magsasalita ang mga Pilipino ng sariling Lenggwahe na Filipino? I believe we need to learn English language but let's not forget kung sino Tayo. Our language is part of our identity. Kung Wala yon? Sino ka? American? Nakakahiya. Comprehension is the key sa comment ko. Kung may pagmamahal ka sa bayan mo Hindi mo mamasamain ung comment ko. Bakit mo winawalang hiya ang Isang kasabihan ng Isa sa mga taong nagbigay sayo ng kalayaan or liberation na tinatamasa mo ngayon. Wag mong kalimutan, ung minamata mong tao, Malaki ang naging contribution upang Hindi ka lumaki sa gyera o sobrang magulong panahon. Yung kalayaan na ipinaglaban NILA ang bansa NATIN upang ang generation ngayon ay makapamuhay ng matiwasay kumpara sa dati at sa iBang bansa. Kung di dahil sa mga taong yon, you are not free to do your TikTok and posts in Facebook Kasi baka kung Hindi Sila nanindigan para sa bansa, Ewan ko nlg kung saan pupulutin ang Pilipinas at mga Pilipino na Walang pakundangan kung makapagsalita at Walang utang na loob na nagpapakasasa sa kaka TikTok at bashing sa mga social medias na Hindi man lang marunong gumawa ng mga Gawain sa sarili, sa paaralan, sa trabaho, o sa mga Bahay ng magulang o kamag-anak KSI nakikitira.
I wish that the government agency that is/ responsible for choosing on what to include in school teaching to include tagalog language as a subject to pass on our native language to the next generations.
I don't think time will come that Filipino living in Philippines will only speak and communucate using English language. No matter what happens Filipino language will stiil be used around the country. Even Filipinos living in other countries still use their native tongue when they meet fellow counteymen
The Gov only funds basketball here in Ph. It’s kinda dumb cause we will never win in basketball we’re too short. They should relocate funds to other sports like football where Filipinos have more chance
As long as they can understand what you are saying.
Lol... The last question was telling us to forget who we are...😢
For me, as a filipino. It's so hard to speak straight tagalog than english. I'm kapampangan event my own language i can't speak fluently. 😂🤣 that's why so hard. In pampanga around 80% can speak fluently. 🇵🇭🇵🇭
Please try to interview persons who work in a call center. I've never heard someone speak fluent English, which surprises me, despite the fact that many Filipinos speak English extremely well, which is why the Philippines is one of the most well-known in the BPO business when compared to other countries. Huwag kang tumutok sa iisang lugar ate na nag iinterview....
Even the animals there can speak English too.
😎
If you go outside o& Manila, meaning to the Non-Capital area of PH, it gets even more confusing.. we adjust to whoever we’re talking to.
WE MANILY USE AND MX THE LOCAL LANGUAGE + FILIPINO + ENGLISH when conversing depending on whether we are talking to a local or with people from other parts of the Philippines (or foreigners) who may not know the local language we’re using.
Some are just shy /self conscious that they get lost for words but if without being aware of being recorded or being on the camera . I think they can speak English without having to think speaking straight English
There are a lot of English words that have no Tagalog version. Hence Filipino tend to talk TagLish
Try interviewing Gen Alpha - where majority speak English
Importante , sigurado possible,negatibo, posible,delicado, puede,asunto and many more Spanish words inbeded in tagalog.
Maam karen just backfired her answer
Go to well known universities like Ateneo, la salle, St Paul, UST, UP u will envounter good english speaking filipino
Hot take: people from Visayas and Mindanao speak way better English than people from Luzon.
I see. Hahaha yan lang pala kaya ng mga Tagalog na panay maliit sa mga BISAYA. Hahahha kung ganyan lang ang English nyo, mahiya kayo. :D :D :D
You voice is like Project Nightfall probably because you both are from 🇵🇱
Thought this was heisuten the guy reacting to anime
Filipino dont speak english fluently because we dont use to speak it everyday in our home,,unlike the other houses,they use english even in thier homes thats why they can always practice speaking english..I myself ,im just high school graduate ,i am an OfW ,when i am in the Philippines its hard for me to speak english ,but now i am outside the country ,i can speak english a little bit because of my employer that i only use english to talk to them because we dont know how to speak our each others language...practice speaking english at home and outside the house helps the people to learn and speak fluent in english...
90% understands english well or maybe 99% as even filipino babies who just learn to speak already speaks in english😂.. but speaking it only 30% fluent, only 10% using it to communicate, the rest they just know and learn english but they don't use it to communicate to each other, but they can speak in english easily only if they need to.. and a free info. "there's a 170+ language in the philippines being used..."
We are more good in writings of English rather than speaking, in writing we have more time to correct our grammar, while in speaking thinking the proper words is time constraints
See what I tell people specially the ones who argue with me that in terms of English Fluency/Proficiency in Asia we are NOT the top 1. I still think Filipino accent is the best. But in terms of proficiency it's Singapore.
you go to Baguio City , Dumaguete City and Davao City and you;'ll find most people can speak English
I hate how the word dialect is being used incorrectly by 80 percent of Filipinos. okay maybe it's improving since they're finally realizing it's wrong. And they are fixing it in their education system. And the fact that the word dialect is an english word so they don't make sense to someone that knows the definition of dialect lol.
When you hear someone say dialect, you need to ask them a dialect of which language? Because a dialect is a variation of a language... NOT another language that is spoken in the country.
For example Tagalog is the language, the variants are Filipino, which is the one with a mix of different languages, and also Taglish. So you can see that they are variants of Tagalog which means they are dialects of Tagalog. Now, when you hear "Ilocano and Bisaya dialects", and you talk to them in either but if they can't understand what you're saying between Tagalog, Ilocano and Bisaya, how is it a dialect? Dialects can mutually understand each other, so IF there is no mutual intelligibility between the "dialects" then why are they calling it a dialect?...
And how do languages get formed? Throughout the years a particular dialect in a certain region that spoke a particular language evolves so much that a dialect from one region can no longer understand the dialect of another. This is when it becomes a Language. So lets use another example.... Latin would be the mother language, it would then evolve and you'd have variants of it, then you have Italian, Spanish, Portugues and so on.... And in regards to Filipino language an example would probably be like Austronesian mother language and the variants are Malay, Indonesian Malay, Ilocano, Tagalog and so on.
Filipinos are good in reading & writing in English ….rather than speaking.
Yea right, if we are really fluent in English how come according to PISA reading comprehension the Philippines is one of the lowest ranking in English comprehension?
In old filipino, they dont use english.
Kembalilah ke bahasa nenek moyangmu dan berbanggalah menggunakan bahasa tersebut...
Salam dari Indonesia...
Nobody cares 😅
So disappointing to watch this. Random selection of people interviewed yielded a failure to show how Filipinos could really speak English properly.
Pero, siguro is spanish
Nadadalian kayo sa English kaso nasa harap lang kayo ng camera nacoconcious kayo. Pero pag ininterview kayo for a job sigurado straight English ang sagot nyo.
Kailangan alisin ang pagsasalita ng taglish na yan nakakairita.
Yes Filipino they can't speak pure Tagalog. Mostly taglish
