  • Most filipinos are trilingual. Did you know that? Because of this fact, they're smarter.
    This isn't an opinion, it's science.

      I studied in a private school in the Philippines from kindergarten to high school. We were "forced" to speak English by paying a 10-cent penalty per dialect word we spoke if got caught. It felt so awkward speaking English inside the campus if we were just taking our snacks or lunch break. So sometimes I and my classmates had to agree to break the rule.

When we meet and hang out, I do notice that some of my Filipino friends intentionally speak their own mother tongue even though they know that there are non-Filipinos in our group. Their reason is simply that, they say, they struggle to speak in English. They can, but they say later on na “nosebleed” na raw, so they end up switching to Bisaya or Tagalog.

      When I was in 2nd grade, the teachers would make us pay 5 pesos per tagalog word. That was about 10 years ago. It's kinda stupid since when I grew older, it was hard for me to speak in more fluent tagalog. But I can still speak a basic tagalog.

    Me and my Filipina wife went to Siargao some years ago and we bumped into her friend in grade school. There was instant "chika" between them talking about their adventures back then. I was trying so hard to try and catch up but they kept switching from Visaya to Tagalog with a little bit of gay language and English. My wife even introduced me to some like "char' and "bongga". Filipinos are just so fabulous when it comes to uaing multiple language.

    Fun fact: The Philipines doesn’t have 2 languages and 172 dialects, but all 174 of them are technically languages since a dialect is basically just the main language but with and twist and a language is completely different so technically not one Filipino “Dialect” is considered as a dialect instead all of them are technically languages

You are one of the best foreigners who actually appreciates the Philippines and always put a positive note on everything about us. Unlike the other foreign bloggers like Making It Happen, who are always fake and they pretend to “like” or “appreciate” our culture, but they really don’t at all. It’s so obvious they are always thirsty for our views and likes, yet they don’t actually care about us or our culture.
    But with you Tom, I’ve gotta say that you truly appreciate us Pinoys, you appreciate our language and how many dialects that we speak and you actually CARE about us. For that, I truly appreciate you for all the work that you’ve done. Bravo!!!🎉👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

      If earthquake did happen damage will be small because roads much stronger and less road to fix

    It is also crazy that even in Bicol there are different Bicol dialects or even in our province. According to my sister, when there were having the Regional camping or conference for their course(not sure) given that they are different Bicolano college students, they still need to talk Filipino or they just try to understamd one another by sharing knowledge of their different dialects.
