I want to know how would you respond to this person

My 8-year-old daughter, despite being born in the Philippines, speaks English fluently. Her cousins and friends around our old neighborhood also speak English. You can hardly hear her cousins and playmates speak Tagalog. Suffice it to say that English is her first language. In 2019, my hubby and I decided to emigrate to South Korea. Because my daughter was very young, she picked up the Korean language very quickly. Now, she’s very fluent in both languages. Why am I writing this? because I want to know how you would respond if you would meet this kind of person. Two weeks ago after hearing the mass, while my daughter and I were chatting on the way to the elevator to the parking lot, there were Filipinos behind us and I know they heard or eavesdropped to our conversation. Me: Where would you like to go? Daughter: I don’t know. Let’s just go home. Me: Let’s study and read books. Daughter: Okay. I want to check some stuff at Daiso first. A few steps away from our car. One Filipino called out my daughter for speaking in English (take note my daughter was communicating with me not to anyone or to any Korean who doesn’t understand English.) “ You should not speak English, you are in Korea. (The Filipina said it in Korean language.) "Ne (Yes). Bye", My daughter replied. What the woman said did not sink in right away to me until I got into our car. I told my daughter, “ You can express yourself in any language that you want. Use English, Korean, or Tagalog, any language that you are comfortable using when you are talking to mama, okay?” In my opinion, it is not right to say that to my daughter. In the first place, my daughter was talking to me not to her or not to anybody else. My daughter knows when to speak Korean or English. I hear that woman speaking Tagalog or even Bisaya (one of the dialects in the Philippines) while in KOREA. I think I should call her off too. Hahahahaha. Am I overreacting?
