    1. Pero aminin, you find it convenient to travel and live abroad when you know how to speak and write in English.

      Wag tayong plastik and ipokrito. We all studied since Nursery to College na English ang oral and written exams. Aminin.

    2. 1:42 i do kasi dito ako nakatira sa states. But that is beside the point. Hindi porke marunong mag english matalino na. Wala akong aaminin kasi i dis not deny anything. And i do agree with what u said but i don’t think you get the idea of what Rhap is saying.

    3. @1:42, Japanese uses english when needed. ang pinoy, baliktag. gamit ng gamit ng english kahit di na kailangangan. 👍👍👍

    4. Anon 1:42. You missed the point. Walang masama mag-english. Ang problema kasi kapag hindi ka marunong, pagtatawanan ka. Kapag magaling ka naman, it's either matalino or sosyal ka.

    5. Ang point naman nya kasi is hindi kunh dapat ba o hindi matuto mag-English but kung bakit tayong mga Pinoy ini-equate agad ang English proficiency to intelligence.

    6. May iba naman kasi na sabaw na ang utak, th pa mag-english. Kahit naman mag-Tagalog kung may sense ang sinasabi mas ia-admire mo pa.

    7. Hindi naman nya sinabing hindi importante ang English. Ang pino-point lang nya, wag gawing basehan ng talino. Wag mangmata ng hindi kagalingan sa English. By all means mag-aral tayo at gamitin nating ang English pero that doesn't give us the license to mock others.

  8. Depends. English outside of the school curriculum shouldn’t be a measure of intelligence. However, once they teach this as a subject in school, it then becomes a measure of intelligence.

    1. Hell Naah, agree to disagree.. Define Street smarts?

    2. Communication in English is a skill acquired/learned in school and some of us possess a greater or lesser facility for it depending if we are linguistically inclined. So yes, it could be a measure of intelligence.

      Yun naman sinasabing street-smarts 8:12AM, they may also possess a different set of skills which make them intelligent in other aspects such as interpersonal, logical or mathematical, etc.

      I think the more important thing is to have an awareness of one's strengths and the humility to acknowledge weaknesses. Wag tayo magmagaling sa mga bagay na kulang ang ating kaalaman. Kung mahina sa ingles at reading comprehension, wag umasta na kala mo eh madaming alam sa journalism, eh yun pala sa fake news lang kumakapit.

  9. But you can't deny the fact that in order for you to grow and to become successful, competitive person you need to learn how to speak English well because English is the most productive prominent language in the world!

    1. Totoo yan. Dito sa amin sa probinsya yung mga nanay na nagkapera at umaliwalas ang buhay eh mga english speaking na ang anak at pag nataon na nakatabi ko sila either grocery or resto titingnan ka nila na "oha english speaking my kids, beat that". Wala namang masama actually pero borderline kayabangan na ang nangyayari

  16. English per se is not a measure of intelligence but learning a language apart from your native tongue is. This falls under the verbal linguistics type of intelligence.

    1. True. And also learning English while growing up in a non-English speaking household I think can be considered as a factor for intelligence.

    2. but ho'w can other people learn if they bash them? i think that's rhap's point.

  17. In Canada, it does not matter how you say things as long as you can be understood. Madalas sila pa ang nagaadjust sa mga taong di magaling magenglish. Sa Philippines lang naman hostile and reaction kapag mali ang english. ang paurong magisip.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Pano naging paurong mag isip kung mula elementary itinuro pero di nagets? Comprehension lang yan. Pag mali mali ang pagkakasabi pedeng mamisinterpret. Wag nyo sabihinh hostile pag kinokorek kayo sa mali nyo. Di sya measure ng intelligence, totoo yan pero ung pag intindi oo.

  19. He’s probably referring to the recent memes on Larry and Jenny “Yor road.” We watched the series and actually mas magaling pa si Jenny mag english dun sa ibang lahi. Although guilty ako na natawa ako sa yor road na yan. Pero yes, here sa US they dont care as long as the point is well-understood.

  20. The fact that our first language is Filipino and we only know about the English language because we learned it from school is already a sign of intelligence. Most people can speak the language (grammatically correct or not), but not all can be eloquent with it.

    ReplyDelete
  21. ok din naman kung hindi magaling mag English, mag post na lang ng tagalog. Kesa English English pero plangak. Yun naman sa Yor Road! hindi naman lahat ng Pilipino ganyan mag English.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Totoo naman yon. Marami kasing perfect dito sa pinas. Konting pagkakamali lang bgi deal na agad. Pero di rin naman masama matuto.

  24. Dami kaya magaling sa English bopols naman...pag-aralin mo ng French o Bisaya tignan natin kung kayanin.

  25. Yung ibang mga Pinoy, ang hihilig magcorrect ng grammar. Lalo na pag nakikipagtalo at nagrrant sa fb, super english yung iba para magmukhang 'matalino'. Hahaha

  26. Basta pag tagalog kausap ko tagalog ako pag english eh d english din. Pero tama naman d naman sukatan un. Ang Japan nga hindi masyado sa english pero 1st world country. Something to think about

  27. Being able to communicate in english does not guarantee that one is intelligent but if you can communicate with proper grammar then believe me, you are smart.

  28. ONLY IN THE PHILIPPINES.

  29. Double standard? Yung magaling ka kumanta then sinabi mo na buti pa yung may itsura, pwede magka-career kahit walang talent. Ngayon naman where you make it appear na may mas magaling sa Ingles, pinalalabas mo naman na di naman measure ng intelligence yun. So pano yan? Whatever is favorable sa yo yun lang ang valid? :)

    ReplyDelete
  30. Not a measure of intelligence? It requires intelligence to learn a different language that is different from your mother tongue.
