True, they definitely cherry-picked the people for the interview.

I live in Manila and people here don't really talk English as much as other people thinks. I was from Zambales before moving and It's the same. Nothing different so idk why he said that most people in Manila speaks English.

Yeah. It is obvious because the sample population in the interviews in the video are from Metro Manila, and they speak the Manila or Metro Manila dialect of the Tagalog regional language, or to be precise, they are speaking more the Filipino national language with frequent switching and borrowing of words, terms, phrases, and clauses from English, further added and mixed in with slang, invented, new, and coined words or phrases. This phenomenon of a type of languages code-switching is natural for people who are bilingual or multilingual like us Filipinos in the Philippines. The other dialects of the Tagalog regional language are really dialects of the Tagalog regional language, and collectively they make up the language that is Tagalog, especially those that are spoken and used in the provinces excluding some that are used and spoken in urban areas, town centers, and cities. On the hand, the Filipino national language is maybe and somehow based or patterned after the Tagalog regional dialect of Manila or Metro Manila, and it is spoken and used throughout NCR, and in most cities and town centers or other urban areas throughout the country, and also in used in our contemporary and popular literature, songs, etc. in the national level. Although linguistically Tagalog and Filipino are just the same language, but in some other ways they are still a little bit different, as Filipino national language came, emerged, derived, or descended from the Tagalog regional language, and both of them still influence each other, and this is even excluding their academic, institutional, educational, political, and legal or constitutional differences. The vision for the Filipino national language is to be more and equally influenced, enhanced, enriched, and cultivated with linguistic elements from the other local, regional, native, and indigenous languages of the Philippines and other languages of the world, and the problem now is that the Filipino national language is highly being influenced, cultivated, enhanced, and enriched by the English language only. The national language has still a long way to go. The mission now is to preserve the old and archaic words or deep words, and the local and regional or provincial expressions, words, phrases, greetings, terms, slangs, etc. of the Tagalog regional language and its local, regional, or provincial dialects, but let the Filipino national language on the other hand to grow and develop as a true national lingua franca of our country. Whenever I will here someone speak in Filipino or in Tagalog, then I'll know what it is: "Nais ko nawa na dumungaw man laang siya sa dungawan/palarungawan ay sapat na para sa akin, na kahit na hindi na niya kailangan pang manaog mula sa kanyang silid." = Tagalog "Gusto ko sana na magdungaw man lang siya sa bintana ay bastante na para sa akin, na maski na dili na niya kailangan pang magbaba mula sa kanyang kuwarto." = Filipino "I like na sana mag-appear man lang siya sa window ay enough na para sa akin, na even though hindi na niya need pa to go down mula sa room niya." = Taglish ✌😊

Im from bulacan also and i wish that i can speak pure tagalog like you.

You'd be surprised that many areas in the Philippines, such as the Cordilleras and Kabisayaan, prefer to speak in English over Tagalog.

True. I do realized it. Wonder why Tagalog won’t try other dialect outside Manila. Other islands are like multi linguals. 🤔

I actually live in a province near the mountain provinces and I'm telling you that they're very good at speaking English especially the young ones and the realllyyyy oldies. They're so good. My grandmother and grandfather for example they're so fluent in speaking English. You'll be amazed.

But as a person living in a province I can speak perfectly in Filipino, fluently in English and ofcourse taglish.

Huh? Bakit mayroong pagka Cebuano ang Filipino mo?

@@pogiako2463 That's how the Filipino national language should be po. It should be and must be different from the Tagalog regional language especially in the future, and starting from now, we all should be working towards that vision as what is said in our 1987 Philippine Constitution about our national language. ✌😊

@@artesiningart4961 Oh really. So, ang nais mong sabihin, yang Filipino version mo na iyan ay imbento mo lang?

@@pogiako2463 According to the Section 6 of Article XIV of our Philippine Constitution under Language: "SECTION 6. The national language of the Philippines is Filipino. As it evolves, it shall be further developed and enriched on the basis of existing Philippine and other languages. Subject to provisions of law and as the Congress may deem appropriate, the Government shall take steps to initiate and sustain the use of Filipino as a medium of official communication and as language of instruction in the educational system." The line where I am basing my point about how the Filipino national language should be or must become is primarily on, "As it evolves, it shall be further developed and enriched on the basis of existing Philippine and other languages." So, it shouldn't just be further developed and enriched on the basis of the Tagalog regional language, but on the basis of all languages of the Philippines and other languages. ✌😁

@@artesiningart4961 Kaya nga dapat talagang mabago ang constitution🤦‍♂️
