Just good in English??

We have lots of talents here in our country. However, most of them just use them for their owns sake and never bothered to use it for the benefit of all. With regards to the government, it is indeed an evident fact that most of our politicians are not really passionate in the duties they made oath to.

hi, people before in the year of Americans here,they taught English Language that is why most of elders are really good in English,and that is one of good influenced by the Americans we had,and aside from that Philippines are the country that have many call centers agent because they are good and excellent in English.

I get bullied in cyber world because of that topic. I mean all the Filipinos get bullied by being good in English and bad in other things. I accept that, but not all Filipinos have less brain about science because most of our student that are good at it have no jobs, because the government do not support that kind, instead they support BPO companies that is why we are full of Call Center Agents, that is why we are marked "good in English". We have so many nursing grads, but we have less hospitals and to make it worst, those hospitals do not have available jobs for our nurses, so instead those skilled workers like them migrate to other country and most of them are doing great there (hopefully, just assuming). We have lots of skilled people here, but we are lacking in support. I think the problems starts with a students decision to the support of the government. I do not know what is the government's take on what program to support, what jobs to enrich, they should analyze what things they need to improve. Sometimes that things that can help us to become successful is inside our country but because of money and strong power it is neglected. I think we are the ones who are creating this kind of mess after all.

Hi LK! I had just finish a short course in call center training and english proficiency programs being offered almost to many cities now.

I agree with you, Filipino is really good in English. So no doubt that Philippines is one of the most proficient in speaking and writing english. And one more thing not only english even in other aspect or subjects. Being good in english helps a lot in understanding more science and math. Even talents, name it philippines has it. Singing,dancing and etc.

i admit that filipinos are good in terms of speaking and writing the english language. not just because we are colonized by the americans in the past, but because we are eager and easy learners. i dont agree that we are only good in english, there's a lot of things we are good at like singing, dancing, acting and etc. look at some of the filipino artist being recognized abroad for their talents, thats one proof.

I think he made that remarks because of his insecurities of not landing a good job here in our country, and instead, he is serving foreign land....not because that he is good in writing and speaking English, not because he is a Math and Science Wizard but because he has skills...

I agree that the Philippines has a higher proficiency in English, Letran . One can actually say that when they hear some people who can really speak and write fluent English. Another good example are the call center agents, who after being trained can really speak fluent English and with a corresponding twang in the way they speak. I must agree, that we are not only good in English , but in other aspects as well, specially at singing.

I will admit that being good in English I our strongest point but it is not fair to generalize that because we are good at English, we are good at nothing else. I think that this person is really bitter. We have many talents and we use English to bridge that talent from here to the world. There are many people who are good in math and science but nobody notices them except in the education sector. If proper attention and support can be made people like inventors will probably manufacture and create their invention here rather than selling it abroad.
