@OWLCITY54 A good number if Filipinos able to speak moderate amount of English and using manay spanish words (with a very heavy accent and largely because there is writing scripts and limited terminologies in Tagalog) still has not, for the last century or so, brought the Philipines to prominent status yet.  Speaking English doesn't warrant a whole lot, otherwise, Latino and Black Americans, who are quite fluent in Engish, wouldn't be lagging behind others so much in academics & earnings.
