  10. Maybe not speaking in English fluently per se, it could be your delivery, the manner by which you speak English, or your actions while you speak in English. :) besides, no one asked you.

  14. GV Stands for good vibes but not for this man who happens to have GV as his initials, parang may something nega about him

  15. Hi Gab, I don't like you but I agree with you on this one? Bakit nga dito sa atin batayan ang pagsasalita ng Ingles para masabing "sosyal" "mayaman" at "may pinag aralan" ka?

    1. Bukod pa sa pag English may certain accent with the pronunciation para distinct ang pagka alta at sossy

      Delete
    2. Agree ako na kung tama ang grammar mo pag nagsusulat ng english, eh may pinagaralan ka talaga. The rest, ewan ko kung sino ang nagpauso niyan, dahil yung accent/pronunciation mo eh hindi major determinant ng proficiency sa isang language. May mga tunog gossip girl ang accent pero walang content ang sinasabi, minsan mali pa ang grammar. Kaloka tayong mga pinoy minsan lol.

  16. I dont like Gab, pero he has a point. Bakit nga ba? Kaya tuloy andaming pinoy na hirap/hiya mag english, kase natatakot na mabansagang "mayabang", "pacool", "social climber", "maarte", "feelingero/a".

    1. kaya maraming artista na di marunong mag english na dinadaan sa biro pag nagsalita ng english para di mapahiya,pinangungunahan na nila ng biro

    2. Yung iba naman kasi nagpipilit, hindi nlang mag-Tagalog. Ano bang masama kung gamitin ang sariling wika?

    3. e ano rin naman masama kung sinasanay ang dila sa pag iingles,magagamit nila yan pag nagaabroad sila

  17. I think it depends.If trying hard na english yun naiinis ako don pero pag english talaga na natural galing sa tao at may sense ang pinagsasabi don hanga ako haha.

  18. I am so puzzled why many celebrities now can not speak simple English well. Like those guests on GGV. Considering our medium of instruction in school is basically English.

    1. This. Naiirita ako kapag may nadidinig ako na "ma-english siya so baka rich siya". WTH? haha

    2. Hindi naman superior, pero may advantage talaga ang english language vs. tagalog (magkaiba ng strengths I guess), kaya swerte tayong mga pinoy at marami sa atin ang bilingual. Mas may tendency ang English na maging direct at specific at a level na mahirap i achieve kung gagamit ka ng tagalog. Hindi lang natin napapansin, pero may epekto yun sa way ng pagiisip natin. Sabi nga nila, kung manliligaw ka o magsusulat ng love letter, tagalog ang gamitin mo. Pero kung debate, mas may advantage ka kung english ang gamit mo, dahil mas efficient at masasabi mo ang punto mo in just a few words.

  23. Sadyang myabang ka LNG tlaga haha

  24. there's just really something of about this family tbh. parang si gary lang ung naiba.

  25. ikaw lang talaga ang mayabang. kahit magtagalog ka pa. equity mo na yang kayabangan, wag mo nang idamay pa ang ibang mga nag-e-english.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Because smart-shaming is a thing in the Philippines. But I'm not saying that everyone who speaks good English is smart.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Pag ang kumakausap sa yo tagalog ang salita tapos sagot mo naman english eh mayabang talaga ang dating, except for those na hirap talaga magtagalog that is understandable. Pero kung alam mo naman na ang kausap mo fluent naman magsalita ng tagalog pero in english ka pa rin sasagutin, parang he wants to show that he/she is superior than you.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Yang mga pinaggagawa mo ang basis ndi pag Eenglish. Don't rationalize your foul behavior.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Kasi tinatanong ka sa tagalog pa englih english ka jan, eh kung ikaw kaya mag tanong at sagutin ka namin ng frech baka mayabangan ka din.

  30. Tonality matters and choice of words. Pa relevant na naman.

  31. I used to judge the same dun sa mga laging nag-eenglish. Pero nung napunta na ako sa ibang bansa, I realized some children were brought up with English as their daily medium of communications. Kahit sa Pinas, if the parents want the child to have good English skills yan ang nangyayari. Ganun lang talaga sila magsalita kasi yun kinalakihan nila. Pag me kaclose ka na mga anak e ingglesero, you will realize it has nothing to do with being mayabang. Kaya I don't mind anymore if me mga kabataan na nag-iingles ingles.

    1. True! It's common here in Baguio. We were trained to speak in English when we were young. Basically Ilocano, English and then Tagalog

  32. Ang nakakainis, yung mga hindi naman nag aaral sa internation school and hindi naman alta, pero mga anak nila hindi marunong magtagalog. Filipino subject is being taught in school, so if your child/children doesnt know how to speak in tagalog nor can he/she understand it, how do they pass their Filipino subjects?!

    ReplyDelete
  33. Kung Tagalog ang tanong, Tagalog din dapat ang isasagot pwera na lang kung banyaga o ibang dayalektong Pilipino ang nakagawian. Kaya naman nakakairata ang ibang nagsasalita ng Ingles. Kaya mo nga sila nasasagot dahil nauunawan mo sila. Pwera na lang kung di ka lumaki sa isang lugar na talagang Tagalog ang ginagamit. Walang masama gumamit ng Ingles lalo na kung nag-Iingles ang kausap mo.
