Speak in ENGLISH or FILIPINO with kindness

We need to speak English or Filipino so that we can understand each other.But we all know that English is the international language in the world and Filipino is the language in the Philippines.
We Filipinos, on the other hand, learned English starting from preschool and high school if we ever hope to enter college. We are forced to learn it.We have long prided ourselves at being better English speakers than our Asian neighbors. But sadly, ours is also a country where the majority, given the opportunity, would leave the country in a heartbeat and head off to the proverbial land of milk and honey. Our mastery of English has not made us any smarter, only more confident and bolder to head into the unknown because at least we wouldn’t feel as alienated if we didn’t know how to speak the language.
