LOL, Raz above says immigrants are too lazy to perfect their english and should return to their birth countries, then adds "I hate them scums."  Consider yourself deported Raz.  The problem is, i do not think there is a country named "Ignoramus Land" to kick your butt to.  Oh well, there's always West Virginia or a nearby ghetto. Oh wait, you already live there.  Never mind.

It depends on the individual's level of education. I'd say the average Filipino has a good grasp of the English language. By the way, I am a Filipino who has never traveled anywhere, you be the judge if I can speak it well.

Magandang Gabi from Curaçao!\nThere are 7 Filipinos working for me here on board my ship (I'm an American)...they are all hard-working, smart guys...I've visited the Philippines several times, many years ago...always had a very good time there...just wish that some day the Philippines will be free of all the corruption that represses it...then Filipinos (and Filipinas) will become truly prosperous.

Keep track of it and ask, and you should really capitalize Philippines since it is a proper noun. Tsk Tsk ;-(

There's nothing better than hearing it straight from the horse's mouth. So here's a website that can give you an idea on the kinds of taxes imposed in the Philippines:\nhttp://www.bir.gov.ph/legalmatters/8761.htm

When we learn another language, we are at the same time learning their culture.  For example, when I learned Cebuano in the Philippines, I learned certain things about their culture based on the language, such as always using words like "pohon" or "basin", which roughly translate to "God-willing" and "perhaps".  In this culture, there is often uncertainty of whether things will happen or whether they will be able to go somewhere, etc.

I don't know if this is what your looking for or not.\nFilipino music is a mixture of European, American and indigenous sounds. Much of the music of the Philippines have been influenced by the 377 year-long colonial legacies of Spain, Western rock and roll, hip-hop and pop music from the United States, the indigenous Austronesian.

Maybe the best way is to study abroad. Filipinos speak good English and you can actually find a lot of English classes that cater to foreigners. I myself have met a lot of Koreans who are taking English classes in my school. I think they choose to come here to learn English because it is cheaper than going to the U.S.. Surf the net for English classes for foreigners in the Philippines. Try to go to the University of the Philippines (U.P.) website and contact them through email or phone, you choose. There are other schools offering English classes for foreigners, however. U.P. is just one of them. Good luck! :)

Lots of influence from the Spaniards... They always collect taxes higher than expected... Get the land of farmers... So.. After 333 years of colonialism what do you expect from the Filipinos? Be totally better than them? NAH!!! Your wrong... \nDo you think that the Philippines shold be first or what? It's good that the Philippines is only second not first. It's not in the religion. It's already in the tradition. It's hard to eradicate that...\nMind you... Not every politicians are corrupt... :) Wow good thing... I still think that Pres. Arroyo does not corrupt because there are no issues about that...

The Philippines is the third largest English speaking country in the world. It has a rich history combining Asian, European, and American influences. Prior to Spanish colonization in 1521, the Filipinos had a rich culture and were trading with the Chinese and the Japanese. Spain's colonization brought about the construction of Intramuros in 1571, a "Walled City" comprised of European buildings and churches, replicated in different parts of the archipelago. In 1898, after 350 years and 300 rebellions, the Filipinos, with leaders like Jose Rizal and Emilio Aguinaldo, succeeded in winning their independence.\n\nIn 1898, the Philippines became the first and only colony of the United States. Following the Philippine-American War, the United States brought widespread education to the islands. Filipinos fought alongside Americans during World War II, particularly at the famous battle of Bataan and Corregidor which delayed Japanese advance and saved Australia. They then waged a guerilla war against the Japanese from 1941 to 1945. The Philippines regained its independence in 1946.
