☺Speaking English or Tagalog is a must☺

As of the present development and use of Filipino, Filipino is not yet an aspired for language by the vast majority of Filipinos because it is not the language of access to personal socio-economic advancement and in that role is performed by the English and Tagalog language.


There are number of advocates of Filipinos who believe that the advantage of Filipino as the chief language in the schools and in government is that it will make Filipinos "pantay-pantay". Well, right now we are pantay-pantay as far as Filipino is concerned because whether one knows only 'a little' Filipino or 'elegant' Filipino does not make much difference in our socio-economic lives. Many cannot engage in debate in Filipino but they do not suffer in prestige. No Filipino today who cannot speak , read and write English and Tagalog . A good knowledge of English makes a great difference!!!
