(Millineum Park, Chicago)
Irritateousness ang drama ko today and I’ll tell you why. For all the years that I’ve lived, worked and played in the United States, I’d say that I have pretty much covered much of the country sa kakahada. It was my employment with the broadcast investment group in Philadelphia that gave me the opportunity to wander around and see places and things na gusto kong personal na makita. And hold. And touch. And do something else. Na maiinggit kayo! Hahaha! You see, part of my job then aside from hada in Los Angeles, was to set up accounting and reporting systems to corporate offices and then mag-lamierda at magpaka-bangag. Add my audit travels and I was one cute traveling pokista. So, I’ve run across Pinoys in every corner of the United States. Some of them were good. Some of them were bad. One of them was so damn good, leche! umungol ako!
Pinoy accent gone?
Of course in terms of having pinoy accent or the lack of it, I don’t notice it when I speak English, people do. And I’ve been told that I’ve lost my Filipino accent already. I’ve heard these comments in Manila and I’ve heard these comments back home in the US. Of course, wez me intent to lose my aboridyinis accent becoz, even if become a blue-eyed barrio siete gurl, leche, itsurang TNT pa rin ako anetch? At nagkalat pa rin ang ilong ko sa muka ko. So that’s Exhibit A na talagang halatang halata. But given nga that I’m a cute native that went to school of midwifery in the US, eh baka dun na-rape ang accent nang lola nyo divanetch? Yet, do I care? I don’t. Even better. Understanding ever ako nang aking officemates. So, that’s that. Not born in the USA and with no distinguishable Pinoy accent.
Did not grew up in Pinas
Karon, I met one Pinoy. One Pinoy who claimed nga lumaki in the United States and at one point sinabing outside of the Flippines. Ewan kung asa man nang outside noh? Baka Mindanao. Di ba separate nation na ang Mindanao? Si Kutz kasi nagtayo na nang sarili nyang Cotabato Consulate sa Arizona! Hahaha! He did told me that I don’t have the accent. I don’t know if it was good or bad. I thought I was just speaking English the way it’s being spoken here.
Thick Pinoy accent
Pero, habang him and I continue the conversation which was really funny, dahil I insisted na we usap in Tagalog, yet we ended up talking in English. Meanwhile, I could hear a thick and heavily accented English. Di sya ang first time na Pinoy na nameet ko who did this trick to me like I could not distinguish kung sino ang born in the USA. Irritateousness! In the end pizzalechewa ako! As in, anobaaa!
Therefore may I conclude
So, why sasabihing ganetchiwa ang growing up in the US kung ang accent matsing? Meron ba talagang growing USA na aboridyinis ang accent? Di ko getz!!!

bakit ano ba ang nakakahiya na malamang lumaki ka at galing ka ng Pilipinas? unang una ang mga batang laki at ipinanganak dito hindi marunong mag salita ng pilipino language…medyo nakaka-intindi at nakaka-pag salita ng konti pero ang suma talagang hindi marunong….saka talagang ibang mag-inglish ang mga batang dito na ipinanganak…..nakaka-awa naman silang nag papanggap kasi hindi nila malaman kung ano talagang lahi sila!

Hmm, ang importante hindi naman yung accent eh, kundi kung may sense ba yung pinagsasabi. And talaga lang ha, may consulate ang Cotabato sa Arizona? Wow! Hehe.

pag feel ko mag-english, nawawala din accent ko kala nila galing ako US kasi naman sa atin di ba ang pronunciation eh american tapos influence pa ng hollywood so pag fluent talaga Pinoy kala nila galing Amerika.
at madaling mag neutralize ng accent ang pinoy di gaya ng mga pana hahahahahhahahahah….

I dont think may problem mother highness…hak hak hak…
Nagkataon kasi na you are mingling with other cultures for so long but it doesnt mean nawala na ang Filipino identity mo. You are still one Barrio Siete gurlet na truly full blooded Pinoy. And one hell of a cute pokita too…hahahhahah…
Pero sa totoo lang..naiirita din ako sa mga iba *aherm* who uses reverse social climbing >>> na you know >>> feeling classy kapag nakaka-english at feeling rich pa kako. Maraming ganyan dito sa Pinas. Ginagawa nilang status symbol ang English which should not be. Kasi naniniwala ako na English is only a medium for communication, not a prestigious badge to be worn and make yabang on someone else. Kahit nga sa showbiz eh, ang daming ganyan. Nakakairita panuorin sa TV.
Kumbaga, if you are talking to a Filipino speaking guy, then speak in his own language para magkaintindihan kayo. Not to flaunt your mastery of English on him or any language ek-ek para lang mapalabas na classy ek-ek ka or whatevah.
Napatawa ako sa sinabi mo about Mindanao>>> republic of Mindanao>>> hak hak hak…

kakatuwa yong puerto rican contestant sa American Idol kagabi. he’d been working on his accent cuz the judges called him on it after his last performance. last night, he got good reviews from the judges so he was emotional and started to say something in english and couldn’t quite put the words together so he said that when he’s emotional, he can’t think in english, only in spanish. so he went on and said something in spanish. unfortunately, i didn’t understand it dahil na-abolish ang spanish subject that year i went to college. gotta love that guy!

Mother highness,
Ang Spanish e mukhang babalik na as a language subject here in the Pilipins..
sa katunayan, ang MRT at ang Instituto Cervantes e nilagyan ng Spanish chorvalais ang MRT para daw maging interesting ang Spanish language..
And I like it….I want to learn Spanish din kasi…hahaha…
Another thing, there is a legislation bill called the Gullas Bill that aims to use English as the medium of instruction sa schools. Masyado na daw deteriorated
ang Englits ng mga estowdents.

when i had spanish subjects noon? di ko maintindihan why we have spanish subjects. 21 units pa kamo. leche hanggang 4n. grabe. but i can speak spanish noon. pero i was very annoyed.
but, nung napunta ako nang america, it was only then that i realized na mabuti pala me background ako sa spanish.
i know malaki ang resistance sa foreign language sa pinas. di ba nga binalik ang Pilipino as medium of instruction? anong nangyari? hahahaha inabot ko rin ang lecheng mga salungguhit na yan noh? pero puta! walang kwenta hahaha
i will be happy na ibalik ang spanish at kung ako lang? idagdag pa nila ang french and mandarin. pag nangyari yan, talagang mas lalong magiging competitive ang mga pinoy.

I think there is nothing wrong with becoming multi-lingual eh…it will give us an advantage over the others…kasi agree din ako on learning different languages (btw, I want to learn French kasi…hahahha..) At saka, parang nakikita ko (based na rin sa aking student days) depende na iyon kung gusto ng tao na sila ay matuto o hindi..
Akala kasi ng ilan e dapat ang school ang nagtuturo ng lahat..pero in reality, schools only teach 1/8 of the knowledge you are supposed to learn, the rest depends on you, whether you are open to different kinds of kknowledge and languages…hay…
Unfortunately, di narerealize ng iba yun..Well, let them be kasi opinion nila yun…
English has become one of the common medium around the globe..kailangan maka-adapt ang mga pinoy and prevent the further degradation ng ating English proficiency..

balak pa yata akong ipa-deport ng bruha! then, it dawned on me, she was asking if i’d like to have the refund back to my visa. 
)) para talaga akong tangang tawa ng tawa sa kotse habang nagda-drive.
Me binabalik ako, tapos ang nasa register, pinay. pinay na pinay talaga ang mukha kaya naman tinagalog ko. sabi ko, “maraming pilipinong nagtatrabaho rito, ano?” (just wanted to start a conversation) sagot niya, “a pew (few)” na wala man lang kangitingiti at hindi man lang ako tiningnan na para bagang feeling ko eh, it was a sin to say such. i was taken aback kasi inenglish ako ng bruha! tas tanong niya, “do you want to go bak (bak not back, take note) to your bisa?” huh?! last time i checked i was already an american citizen

me trainee akong pinoy dati, tinatatagalog ko sempre, dedma! he could understand the language daw but he couldn’t speak it. born in the usa daw sya. taas ang kilay naming mga pinoy. born in the usa daw, eh mas mukha nga syang bagong baba ng pinatubo eh.

It is funny when Americans find my English very “heavily accented” so they ask me where I am from. And when I am in the Philippines, my countrymen think I speak English with an American accent.
