    2. Ewan ko kung ma-flatter or mainis ako sa comment mo 12:16. Hehehe. Marunong naman kaming mga Cebuano mag Tagalog it's just that we are not very comfortable speaking in the dialect because of our heavy accent. But then when we can compose coherent sentences in both English and Tagalog. It's really just with speaking that we're not comfortable with.

    3. Tama!!! Why would we speak tagalog if our tagalog is worser than our english dba?

    4. 12:16 Pero ang mga tagalog di nakakaintindi ng bisaya hehehe!

    5. 2nd language? Why can't she speak it well...?

    6. Sa tagalog matigas ang dila pero pag english hindi na? Just curious...

    7. Actually, nakakatawa nga rin mag-English ang mga taga-Manila. Here are the examples:

      "Mama, para sa eber po." Sa mga bumababa ng Ever Gotesco.

      "Punta tayo sa sirkel." As in ang pagka-pronounce ng circle e "sirkel".

      Haaaayyyy!!!!

    13. 1:05 The Cebuano/Bisaya accent is quite close to American accent, that is, for spoken English. For example, I had a Fil-Am classmate who knows Tagalog very well but never heard her speak in Tagalog. During a group project we managed to make her talk in Tagalog. When she spoke, parang taga Bisaya ang punto niya, mas malambot at parang mas may arte nga lang.

      Anyway may classmate ako bisaya sya. Tigas ng dila sa tagalog kaya nahihiya sya pero pag nagbasa ng english teh!

    22. hahaha.. go cebuanos and cebuanas!

    23. @April 4 9:03 I said close enough accent-wise. Where in America is your husband from? I am sure that by now, you'd know they also have different accents there. A Texan sounds different from a New Yorker. You can even distinguish the whites, the African American, and the Hispanics the way they speak English. Kudos though that your hubby had learned the lingo.

      @April 4 7:10 The classmate sounds similar to Madame Miriam except for the soft R pronunciation. And as she herself said, she wanted to practice speaking Tagalog more, but put-off by some people who overheard her and snidely said she's nagmamaarte. Sad, di ba?

    7. Di naman grammar problema ni Ellen kundi senseless sya. Kaloka. Agree ako kay 1211.

      At ang ibang comment dito na hindi raw mahalaga ang grammar, halatang hindi nabigyan ng sapat na edukasyon. Push nyo ang pagiging malgrammar para maganda marating nyo.

    9. @1221 the problem is, hindi rin kaya ideliver ang dapat iparating. Hahaha she's just making excuses.

      Also, what an apologist you are to say that grammar is not important. Of course it's important. Even in other countries. And by grammar, I don't just mean English. I mean grammar in any language. If it weren't important, it wouldn't be an integral part of the educational system of every single civilized country. The only people who claim grammar is not important are the people who don't actually know how to use it properly.

      Isip-isip din 'pag may time.

      Delete
    10. @1233 Bisaya ako. Please. Wag ilebel si Ellen Adarna sa the rest of us. She can't even string coherent sentences most of the time.

      And I will take your challenge: grammar test in both English and Bisaya. In fact, Ilonggo rin if you want.

      Don't assume that, just because I criticized Ellen, I'm Manileño. Not all Bisayas are in agreement with her pathetic excuse. In fact, I'm offended that she's using her being Bisaya as an excuse for her extremely poor English skills. You should let that thought wrap around your mind before trying to create a false divide between Bisayans and Tagalogs or what have you.

      @1239AM. Please. I'm more than wiling to match wits with the woman. Or you for that matter.

    15. 1:48AM agree ako sayo te.. hindi naman kailangan magaling ng sobra pag nag english.. kahit ano pa yan basta naipaparating mo ang gusto mong sabihin. besides, ang word na gagamitin mo pag nag english ka is depende din kung Aus, Eur or US etc. kasi hnd magkakapareho ang mga yan! buti pa ibang mga lahi.. pag sa US ka hindi ka pagtatawanan kung hindi ka magaling mag english. tayo na nga magkakalahi tayo2 pa nanlalait sa kapwa natin! *peace na lang..

    16. Eh di sana hindi nalang tinuturo ang grammar sa school kung ganun ang point mo na basta napaparating ang gusto mong sabihin. Kaya nga ginawa ang grammar para may standard na sundin.

    17. 1:15 oa ka masyado teh! im a proud bisaya too pero unlike you di naman ako na offend ni ellen. di naman kasi nya sinabing bisaya people speak english like how she speaks it. she even admit na pangit yung accent nya. when in fact she really can speak english well it's just that ayaw nya magpakafeeling native american yung accent nya dahil alam nyang hindi naman bagay din. kung makapagsabi ka naman ng extremely poor english skills.. duhh! sa yaman ng family nya you think di sya pinag aral sa exclusive school? at feeling mo talaga di sya naturuan mag english? research ka teh sino nilalait mo! echoserang froglet kmasyado.

    19. Agree ako sa mga nagsasabi na minsan mas importante kung ano yung gusto mo sabihin kesa sa grammar. Substance over form, di ba. Marami naman talaga tinuro sa school na d mo magagamit sa trabaho dahil ang totong edukasyon mapupulot mo sa labas ng eskwelahan. Tayong mga Pinoy lang naman ang numero uno sa pagbabash ng mali mali mag English.

  6. Very true! Ang hirap kasi most people from imperial Manila always think that they "speak better" and people from the Visayas are dumb when they can't string together a sentence in Tagalog. Diba nga madalas pagtawanan ang accent ng mga Bisaya? Pero kung pagsalitain mo ng English, nganga ang mga Tagalog kasi di akalain marunong pala mag-English.

    Saw a similar episode sa Showtime when the hosts poked at an audience member coz of his thick Visayan accent but when he spoke in English everyone's jaw dropped.

      She can speak neither Tagalog nor English well - and I don't even mean grammar. She has issues expressing herself and stringing together a coherent sentence.

      She's using being Bisaya as an excuse when that's not fair to Bisayas people. A lot of Bisaya people can communicate well in English or Bisaya or even Tagalog. It's not a matter of accent or grammar; it's a matter of sounding sensible.

Judging from your comment, you are just as crappy as the crude English you are condemning and your assertion does not make sense either.

      Delete
    3. 1255AM actually my assertion makes perfect sense if you've actually observed her. As a matter of fact, it was a rather condign assertion.

      The problem with her is that she's making excuses, on social media no less, and as a result is inadvertently sowing unneeded discord between Visayans and Manileños. In fact, it's not so much a vilification of her per se but rather of her manners.

  25. Okay lang naman mag-English. Pero nasa showbiz siya, kaya dapat matuto siya ng Tagalog. I don't have anything against the Visayan dialect, pero since nasa showbiz nga siya, it is almost her responsibility to learn Taglog.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Bilang Bisaya ako, I can agree with this. Ganyan ang showbiz, wala tayong magagawa. Even foreign or foreign-raised celebs whose first language is English have adapted and learned (ex. Sam Milby, James Reid, etc.). She should learn to adapt.

      I also wouldn't mind if we promote mainstream films and shows that also feature Bisaya or even other dialects. The problem is, no one seems to want to do it. Pero it's an opportunity, right? Sana mayrong maginvest or makaisip - perhaps Bisayans, or Warays, or Pampangueños, or Ilocanos in the industry could push for some projects na ganyan. I saw Yanggaw, that indie film in Ilonggo, and it was good. No reason why we can't have that if industry people actually wanted to.

      But in the meantime, while that's not happening, then people like Ellen need to adapt. "When in Rome..."

    2. Hindi rin.. pag di nag e english, sasabihin di marunong mag english

    3. Sa bagay. I agree with her, but she's not in Cebu anymore. She's working in Manila, where most people can't understand Cebuano, so the best solution to her problem is to get used on speaking Tagalog regularly. In time, she will speak just as well as other celebrities, parang sina Kim Chiu at Erich Gonzales. Yun nga lang, may mga bashers talaga na ayaw tantanan. Some are even discriminatory towards Filipinos outside Metro Manila. Haaaaaay!

Ang mga BraPanese models nga magaling na rin mag Tagalog. Fabio and Daniel can communicate in tagalog ha. Si Sandara Park nga nag effort at hanggang ngayon marunong pa rin managalog. Para namang Greek kay Ellen ang Tagalog. Ayan si Melay bisayang bisaya pero Tagalog pa rin ng Tagalog. Kering keri nya. Si original Bisaya, Anabil, hahaha, keri rin managalog.

  37. May point naman si Ellen. In fairness sa kanya maganda siya ha. Saka kahit ganyan siya, she came from a prominent clan. Not really alta, pero wala naman tayong magagawa kung English ang gamit nila sa bahay. Or Bisaya. Andaming insecure sa mundo.

  38. I still love Ellen. This is true, I have new found friends from Cebu, and we talk in English all the time. They could hardly speak tagalog, and when they do, its hard for them to get the thought across.

  39. At laaaaast, someone finally brought this up. The sheer condesention from most manilenos when it comes to their countrymen speaking tagalog is laughable at least and insulting at most. Tapos pagnagbabakasyon pa sa lowly "probinsya" namin eh nakuha pang manglait pagnagenglish silang sagutin, as if them being born in metro manila~ automatically makes them more urban. And I say this as more of a generalization ha. Oo, alam namin may ibang mabait, pro so far, those we remember are those who make a horrid impression.

  41. Ang dami ko officemate na taga visaya, mas prefer nila mag salita ng english pag kausap kami. Kasi daw mas comportable sila at madaming makikitid na utak na Tagalog na pinagtatawan sila. Kaya Go Ellen, kung san ka masaya suportahan ka namin.

  42. I think magka-iba ang meaning ng " Thick accent" sa "wrong grammar"... If you got "Thick accent" from your native land it doesn't mean that you are Commited to speak "Wrong grammar". Having a thick accent shows that you are proud of your root and not ashamed of it. If you speak in " Wrong grammar" regardless your nativity it means that you do not learn from proper composition of your English 101. But on a lighter note, engaging to speak "Wrong grammar" is not only for those who did not even go to higher level of education. Hindi lahat ng magaling at maganda ang accent eh magaling sa English. And hindi lahat ng magaling sa grammar is maganda ang accent. As long as people understand you. But in Ellen's case, hindi kasi maintindihan yung English nya not because of her accent and grammar but because of Wrong composition of her phrases. Si Aling Dyonisia nga kaya magcompost ng malinaw kahit may Accent at mali ang grammar eh.

  43. Wala akong problema sa mga taong nagi-ingles, kaso huwag naman sana nilang gamitin yong mga archaic words, pwede namang simple English, eh? As if naman na T yong isang tao para hindi niya maisip na ginoogle pa yong thesaurus ng isang salita at pipiliin yong obselete term nun, maipadama lang na fluent sila. Pathetic lang, eh? Lol. #just saying.

  44. FP,taga negros po ako ha,hiligaynon yung tawag sa salita namin mostly from spanish origins.bukod kasi sa lingua franca na dialect namin,english yung talagang parang 2nd language namin mga bisaya.we can write and understand tagalog but sa pananalita di kami comfortable kasi nga matigas yung pronunciation namin,tas yung iba tao they're making fun of us.sabihin bisaya ka no? matter of practice lang talaga para magandang pakinggan na magtagalog.LIke kay Jonh Estrada for example.pero kung gagawa ako ng excuse,mandamay ako no,bakit si madame miriam tagal na dito bakit mag salita siya ng tagalog ilonggo accent pa rin? Mga pamangkin kung laking maynila tinatawanan ako magtagalog pero pag nagsalita na ako ng english,nga2 naman sila.respeto na lang.

  45. ^^^^ true. When i went to cebu, cebuanos preferred to speak in english kasi mahirap magtagalog for them. But their english is really good, might even be better than some manilenos.

  47. We don't want to speak tagalog in the Visayas and Mindanao.

  48. I still like Ellen kahit hindi ok ang English niya.

  49. Madali kasing i-distinguish kung ano ang Bisaya ng mga Cebuano at Bisaya ng mga taga-Mindanao. Mas madaling intindihin ang Bisaya ng mga taga-Mindanao (particularly Davao) is because halu-halo na ang mga wika doon, compared sa Cebu na malalim talaga silang mag-Bisaya.

    Just looking at her Bisaya thoughts, hehe.

    1. True! At saka mga cebuano nakakaintindi naman kami ng bisaya at nakakapagsalita. Ginagawa pa nyang dahilan na kesyo cebuana siya. Palibhasa gimmick lang alam nito.

    2. ikaw ang wag judgemental teh, visaya is a dialect of our country, tapos icocompare mo sa lahing banyaga, ok ka lang, magalit ka kung yun linya nya sa serye in visaya nya dineliver, talagang di nag effort, pero kung everyday language yaan mo sya sa gusto nya

  55. Pinakabagay na role sa starlet na to ay ung sa "Basement" na pinalabas nung Feb ata. Manananggal ang role nya. Wala syang speaking lines. Puro growl lang at aswang-aswangan school of acting. Perfect! Di sya nagsalita. Ganun dapat palagi ang ibigay na roles sa kanya.

  59. Okay naman na mag english ka ellen. Kaso nasa showbiz ka, kaya kailangan mo mag aral magtagalog. Pati ang dila na tre-train. Hindi naman pwedeng habang buhay english ang script mo. Madaming cebuanong artista na nagtatagalog. Practice practice din pag may time

  60. Isa akong waray, tubong eastern samar. I first went to manila when i graduated from college. i remember during my interviews kapag tinatanong ako ng tagalog sinasagot ko ng english kasi nakakahiya baka mali ang bigkas ko. here is the fact: inaaral namin ang tagalog hangang 2nd yr college if m not mistaken pero kapag ba mathematical expression natatagalog ba?in short half of our lives d nag eexist ang filipino language.lahat ng explanations ng guro either english or waray.7yrs nko sa cavite kaya kahit panu hasa na tagalog ko :) #bkanamanbgolangdinsyasamanila :)

  61. if someone speaks tagalog in a bisaya accent, you mock him and laugh endlessly! - and if they converse in English, you say naman na " maarte" and "trying hard". I don't understand why it's such an issue to people. When tagalog people come to visayas they don't speak our tongue and we don't make a big fuss about it! Why force us to use a language that makes it harder for us to speak our mind.

  62. wala kang magagawa Ellen "forever starlet" Adarna, nasa Maynila ka at kailangan mong maging bihasa sa wika naming mga tagalog para magtagal ka sa industriyang pinasukan mo. getz mo inday?

  63. bakit wika ng ibang bansa ang pangalawang wika ng mga bisaya? di ba dapat ay wikang pambansa ng pilipinas ang pangalawang wika nila dahil sila ay pilipino?

    1. I am bisaya and seriously, I can't speak tagalog well. I sound funny when I speak tagalog. I guess dahil may accent ang bisaya na masyadong thick and strong and tagalog is a little bit malumanay...and it's easier for us to speak English than tagalog...

  64. love ellen and i know a lot of cebuanos, ilonggos, warays, basta mga bisaya who prefer to speak english kasi mas yun talaga ang alam nila kesa tagalog, kaya wag pagtawanan or pilitin, parepareho tayong pinoy

  65. Its not her bisaya accent that has the problem here but her english grammar.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Anyone can speak english regardless what region you came from. If you hear some of the our politicians, teachers etc when they speak in english its quite hard, almost stressing every words with pinoy accent. BUT all in correct grammar. Unlike to this girl, she speaks in english a lot but shes not aware of her grammar. Importantly, she talks with NO SENSE basta makapag-english lang ng mali-mali. DOON SYA NALALAIT. Hindi sa bisaya accent nya.

  67. OMG. Filipino is our national language and not TAGALOG. Filipino language adapted a lot of words from other dialects so please STOP assuming na TAGALOG is the national language. and also tayong mga pinoy masyado tayong focus sa AMERICAN ENGLISH. labas labas din kayo ng ibang bansa pag may time and you will realized how stupid the AMERICAN ENGLISH is.
