Filipinos who works at a call center and the ones in English-speaking community, like: Private Schools(but not all private schools), etc 😂😂😂 you can include the socialite Filipinos too 😊

most of us can understand English, but many of us are afraid to use the English language, most of the time, it's because of peer pressure 😊

A lot of Filippinos tend to know and speak English. Perhaps due to an American influence. But also because English is taught as a second language in the Philippines. Plus this can be shown by the amount of people from other neighboring countries like South Korea coming to Philippines mainly to study English. 😂. But actually our English accents are not like Americans or British so maybe you will have a hard time to understand our accent.

I find it funny that we are more knowledgeable about the English language than our own language. Truthfully, I find it hard to write an essay in Filipino than in English ✌

zeyno0968 · Answer

I did not learn much about English at a young age but i could speak it. It wasn't necessarily our native language but it was our second language that is taught almost at the same time as our native language.
There are Filipinos who could totally nail the accents. I can hide my accentXD People will never know except that i'd still look asian 👍
Most Filipinos also learn to speak English and immerse themselves through online games, chatting, skype calls etc. Mostly done on social media.. at least for me :)

Keiito · Answer

Sooo basically few people speak English as their "native" language, well it also depends if their family or parents starts talking to their children until they've grown up in English-language and that means that's their "native" language.

krizettem · Answer

Almost all Filipinos that have gone to school and especially those who can afford to go to private schools speak good English. I couldn't really say that we are native English speakers because being a native speaker means we use that certain language all the time or it should be your primary means of communication. But we are good in English because that's the language we used in school. But we use our own dialect when we communicate with each other outside of school. Contrary to that.. Some people mentioned about socialites.. I  would say that they could be fluent since most socialites are of mixed ethnicities and some use English at home.
