[@rocelderamos3013]

@@calvincastiel5663 Tagalog is a local language in certain regions like Bulacan (Northern Tagalog), Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, Quezon (Southern Tagalog). However, it is the basis of most Filipino words. Filipino, however is a langauge spoken everywhere in the country. It follows the same grammar, structure, diction and accent (Manileño Tagalog) as Tagalog but it is only about 70% Tagalog in terms of vocabulary. Example: Airplane. Filipino: Eroplano Tagalog: Salipawpaw Science Filipino: Siyensya Tagalog: Agham Something like that. Anyway, I'm sure a lot of people would argue me on this Filipino/Tagalog debacle. so Section 6 of the 1987 Constitution states that the national language of the Philippines is *Filipino*. As it evolves, it shall be further developed and enriched on the basis of existing Philippine and other languages Section 7 of the 1987 Constitution states: “For purposes of communication and instruction, the official languages of the Philippines are *Filipino*, and until otherwise provided by law, English.

In Asia, the Philippines formerly held the distinction of being the sole English-speaking country. However, both Singapore and Malaysia have now begun adopting English as a secondary language, alongside Chinese and Bahasa respectively. Despite this development, the Philippines is still highly regarded for its proficiency in spoken English, as it follows an American variant unlike Singapore's version and Malaysia's version, as per my personal experience.

@@waterlily2839_chua The comment above said that Filipinos follow the American English whilst all the countries you mentioned followed the British English. The Number one and number 2 foreign tourists that visit Manila and Philippines in general are from USA. Why would you say HK is much better speaker than Filipinos. FYI English is not an official language of Malaysia. And singapore has 4 languages. That means not everybody can speak English fluently. They have to adhere to their own mother tongue . Philippines has 2 official languages which are English and Filipino. Spanish and arabic are optional. I speak spanish and portuguese. I was just in HK last march, and the amount of English use even in the airport is appalling and in decline. This is a far cry when it used to be a British crown. You're delusional.

[@sebbss]

I thought Singapore and Malaysia has always had English speakers? Although, I guess I know what you mean by them beginning their campaign of the growth towards English but I've spoken to a lot people from Singapore and Malaysia and all of, whom I've spoken to, knows how to speak English. Considering that their society consists of different cultures and not everyone can speak Malay, Hindi, Mandarin, or even Cantonese, the way that most of them would be able to communicate with each other is through English. Though to someone who hasn't spoken to someone that's from Singapore or Malaysia, they may think that they're not speaking English knowing that the Singlish or Singaporean English can be a bit hard to understand? The way they speak consists a lot of slangs, expressions, phrases and whatnot from different languages (Hokkien, Malay, Mandarin, Cantonese, maybe even Hindi idk and more). Nevertheless, I think a lot of people from Malaysia and Singapore are capable of speaking English. Plus some are difficult to understand because of their accent :b

Not only by speaking English but the intent to help other people.. like if you ask a question, 10 out of 10 we will respond and assist you as best as we can. Going to Vietnam and South Korea, I think it's very hard over there not only communicating but the people/culture is not as warm as it is here.

For those who don't know, there are two official language of the Philippines, Filipino (mostly Tagalog words, and English (mostly American English).

[@mikStaH06]

My take, it depends on which part of the country you're going to. Learning Filipino (which has majority of the words sourced from Tagalog) on a conversational level it can communicate enough. That said, pick up one of the other local languages like Cebuano, Hiligaynon (it depends on where you're traveling to), Chavacano, Waray and etc. especially if you're going to places that speak those languages. You'll definitely communicate better.

Please keep in mind that Tagalog is strongly spoken only in Luzon, actually not even all parts of Luzon but in Greater Manila Area. Tagalog is our national language but we prefer to speak our Mother Tongues (in my case, is Bisaya/Cebuano). Although we can/may all understand Tagalog, not all of Filipinos can speak this.

I love your content and how they love our country. New subscriber bytw. In my opinion as a Filipino, I see the problem of a foreigner here in the Philippines. They're not visiting much places in our country they all know places like Boracay, Manila, Palawan, Cebu and I was like y'all you have problems. You NEED AND I RECOMMENDED to visit more places in our country. I believe that some places our not seen just because this place are famous. (you know what im saying) Just visit all the 82 provinces and you'll fall in love with the beauty. Another one I see the problem is that they want to speak english only, just because we know how to speak english. Like common' learn also our language. Mostly Filipinos learn english because of United States colonized us (1898-1945). And in our constitution english is taught in school so thats why we know how to speak english. But as a Filipino I fully recommend to learn how to speak Filipino, because our language is dying slowly like more Filipinos are dont know how to speak our native language because of the damn stereotypes circulating in our country. For example if you know how to speak english fluently, then you are educated and consider rich, however if you speak Tagalog then you consider uneducated or poor. This is the problem and sad. We love and happy to talk to you but we would be more love if a foreigner know how to speak tagalog. There's nothing wrong being multilingual. We love that more foreigner are loving our country.

We Filipinos are great speakers when it comes to English. In elementary, English is already there as early as that. Basics in English was taught unlike from the other countries in Asia.

Learning dialects could take time..some in the provinces may not be that fluent in Tagalog also ...depending on your exposure..just speak in English .somehow it will be understood..
