We are indeed one of the best English-speaking race in this world. PERO ang hindi nyo siguro alam, laluna yung mga pinoy na hanggang Pinas lang ang narating, ONCE a Filipino steps OUT of the Mother Land and INTO a Foreign Country, WALA ng sasarap pa sa tenga mo KUNDI amg makarinig ng taong nagsasalita din ng TAGALOG, lalot Pinoy din ito, kahit na pareho kayong CEO ng malaking kumpanya, HINDI KAYO mag-iinglisan or French, maniwala ka magta-Tagalog kayo pareho, Becoz O N L Y Tagalog or Other Pinoy Dialects that are common to you COULD Bring Back and Connect YOU to Everything that you are. In a Strange Land, sorrounded by foreigners YOU will react NOT with your ears, but with your Heart upon hearing Tagalog. And THAT .... is a FACT.

"it proves that Filipinos 'do' speak English..." " 'As' a matter of fact..." "they cannot just mention about that.they are making Filipinos feel melancholy" ??????? point is, you're just proving their point. their point was most Filipinos do not have the linguistic competence to be given proper status as an English speaker. and oh, grow a mustache, learn some English, then we'll talk. and you should really learn to speak properly yourself before stating they’re wrong. “it proves that Filipinos ‘do’ speak English…” ” ‘As’ a matter of fact…” “they cannot just mention about that.they are making Filipinos feel melancholy” ???????

DURING the colonization. mahbng kwento pero doon lng naging conscious ung buong bansa na kailangan nilang maging isa sa layunin para matalo ang mga dayuhan. in short, we gained the "Filipino status" AFTER being colonized. so what does that imply? na lahat o karamihan sa mga bagay na inangkop na nating ATIN, gaya ng Tinola, Lamesa, Pagpapagupit, Pagtutubrush, Adobo, Kusina, Kawali, Guwardiya, Saranggola---lahat yun hindi atin. galing yun sa iba't ibang kultura, karamihan galing sa Spain (di pa kasama ung mga unang kultura sa Pilipinas na galing sa ibang bansa so baka pati ung roots ng language natin hiram sa kanila). ang sinasabi ko lang, vital part ng kultura natin ang panghihiram o pag-aangkop ng mga kultura sa paligid natin. LAHAT ng bansa ganon ang simula. bata pa ang Pilipinas kumpara sa amerika o sa Britain. Bata pa rin ang Filipino bilang wika. kaya importanteng tandaan na ang panghihiram, lalo na sa kasalukuyang panahon ay normal. ang abakada ay hindi para sa mga Pilipino. para lang un sa mga TAGALOG. kung papansinin, wala ang mga letrang V at F sa abakada, na natural nang matatagpuan sa mga komunidad sa kordilyera. i agree… with most of it.
