Oh the language that be!
Manilatimes.net
According to these readers 'Our officials should speak better English!
One emailed letter even says that "We are supposed to be the third largest English-speaking nation on the planet, so we owe it to the world to prove ourselves right! I really think we should demand a higher mastery of spoken English from our public officials."

Yeah that maybe the case but Filipinos are Filipinos and the English language--American or otherwise is not our national language. Not our Mother tongue but the best that our officials(Or us Filipinos) can do is to practice good English grammar. Heck, I think we do speak the language better than most Americans do. People just can't understand our own (Officials)brand of English because most hail from the provinces and they have different dialects and the style in which they pronounce words and such.

Ack! and I think I mentioned that word ENGLISH six times already! Hahaha, yayness me!
