有樣嘢叫做「菲律賓英文」。大部分菲律賓人都唔可以好似美國人噉發音英文。所以，當佢哋講英文嗰陣，佢哋會用菲律賓口音講嘢。仲有啲特別嘅本地詞語潛入去。包括「 hoopia 」同「 pancit 」呢啲食物詞語。但係大部分時間，群島嘅通用語言真係塔格利文，即係塔加洛文同英文之間嘅代碼切換嘅語言。菲律賓人會保留喺講英文嘅外國人喺度嘅時候講純英文。
喺20世紀初，菲律賓精英開始由西班牙文轉為英文作為群島精英語言，特別係以書面形式，係1898年西班牙 - 美國戰爭嘅結果。同時，土著語言仍然係聽覺嘅支柱，而西班牙文嘅借詞係相當普遍嘅，因為喺1937年，政府選擇咗呢個國家語言英文同土著語言之間嘅關係變得更加普遍。結果，菲律賓係一個語言上嘅大雜燴，英文就好似一種泡沫粉紅色嘅飲品，而塔加洛文就係海洋入面嘅灰鯊，對於好多菲律賓人嚟講，塔加洛文仍然唔會好似佢嘅表哥咁完全「智慧化」。
我喺菲律賓呢個世代出世喺披頭四嘅時代，係比起我父母經歷嘅更多民族主義同更少美國化嘅產物，佢哋喺 Swing 同 Big Band 音樂時代出世。正正係1937年，菲律賓政府採用咗南島語嘅塔加洛文作為國語嘅基礎。 喺「流行音樂之王」米高積遜嘅時候出世嘅菲律賓人受到更多嘅塔加洛語教化，而電視節目、動漫同電影都變得更加多嘅塔加洛語。後來，喺 Lady Gaga 統治期間出世嘅菲律賓人更加接觸到互聯網，因為英文係無處不在，而呢個群島國家又再次被殖民地語言淹沒，但係呢個閱讀習慣似乎仍然唔適合大多數人，因為嗰度嘅大部分書都係用英文，而呢啲書係由精英人士吞噬嘅。學童學嘅係塔加洛文（又名菲律賓文）同英文，但係塔格利什，兩種語言之間嘅語碼轉換嘅語言，係島嶼上事實上嘅口語 - 聽覺語言，英文係主要嘅書面語言。

Filipinos reserve speaking pure English when Anglophone foreigners are present."
