00:00 in an experiment
00:02 if others will defend
00:04 when you're being ignored
00:06 and you don't know how to speak English?
00:08 1, 2, 3, go!
00:09 Kiss!
00:10 Kiss the dove!
00:11 Oh no, no, no! Sorry, sorry!
00:13 This video was leaked on social media
00:16 to a couple
00:17 where the photographer
00:18 can see that the grammar is wrong
00:20 while giving instructions
00:22 to the newlyweds.
00:23 1, 2, 3, go!
00:24 Kiss!
00:25 Kiss the dove!
00:26 Oh no, no, no! Sorry, sorry!
00:28 Wrong grammar, wrong grammar!
00:29 The bride is so arrogant
00:30 that she needs to fight
00:32 in the English language.
00:34 But if she's fluent in English,
00:36 in our own language,
00:38 there's a fight.
00:39 Taas Noo Pilipino
00:41 is a Filipino-Filipino family
00:43 that was chosen to teach
00:45 in the very first opportunity
00:47 of the Filipino language
00:49 in Harvard University in America.
00:51 According to the University's award,
00:53 the Filipino language
00:55 is the fourth
00:57 most used language in America.
00:59 The question is,
01:01 do we, the Filipinos here in our country
01:03 use and promote
01:05 our own language?
01:07 That's what we'll find out
01:09 in our experiment.
01:11 Together with the
01:13 brilliant content creator,
01:15 Chardy B,
01:17 who became famous for her skits
01:19 where their English pronunciation is wrong.
01:21 It's so hot!
01:23 I need iced coffee.
01:25 Iced coffee?
01:27 Perfect! What kind of coffee is this?
01:29 White latte.
01:31 It's Latwe.
01:33 Is there mocha?
01:35 Mocha? No, sir.
01:37 Free?
01:39 Dark chocolate mouse.
01:41 Chocolate mouse?
01:43 Moo-moo-moo.
01:45 We'll visit a market in Quezon City
01:49 to find out
01:51 the opinion of Filipinos
01:53 about the use of the Filipino language
01:55 and if there are still people
01:57 who can speak Tagalog.
01:59 The discussion has begun.
02:01 I have a question for you.
02:03 Regarding
02:05 the enhanced
02:07 basic education of the deaf ed
02:09 as much as possible,
02:11 in teaching, you need to use
02:13 the mother tongue.
02:15 What's your opinion on this?
02:17 It's okay.
02:19 If we're talking about
02:21 the Bisayas,
02:23 they're also studying
02:25 the mother tongue,
02:27 the Tagalog.
02:29 Some of the deaf English speakers
02:31 in Quezon City
02:33 approve of the use of their own language.
02:35 For me, it's okay.
02:37 But it's better
02:39 if you know the subject.
02:41 Because now,
02:43 kids can learn
02:45 because of gadgets.
02:47 When I was young, I was good at English.
02:49 I was defeated by the other students.
02:51 We can't avoid
02:53 using Taglish.
02:55 The question is, why?
02:57 According to a linguist,
02:59 many of us use Taglish
03:01 because of the language contact.
03:03 We hear English
03:05 everywhere.
03:07 On the radio, on TV,
03:09 on social media, on TikTok.
03:11 So, it's not surprising
03:13 that there are
03:15 English words
03:17 that can be used
03:19 in our daily conversation.
03:21 It's not just Tagalog
03:23 or Filipino words.
03:25 English can be used
03:27 because of that language phenomenon
03:29 called language contact.
03:31 But is it true that
03:33 Filipinos are better at explaining
03:35 using English?
03:37 Let's find out.
03:39 I'm here with Char Dibi.
03:41 The Philippines is ranked
03:43 fifth
03:45 among the largest countries
03:47 who speak English.
03:49 We are ranked fifth.
03:51 Why do you think so?
03:53 I think,
03:55 well, at least based on my
03:57 experience,
03:59 from preschool
04:01 to elementary,
04:03 high school, and eventually college,
04:05 we are exposed to English.
04:07 Our teachers
04:09 talk to us
04:11 or discuss topics
04:13 using English,
04:15 sometimes even at home.
04:17 Our parents also
04:19 educate us using English.
04:21 The biggest contributing factor is really the environment
04:23 where the kid is growing up.
04:25 Yes, definitely.
04:27 Wow, Doc! There's no doubt
04:29 in English.
04:31 Unequal Englishes.
04:33 It means that those who are good
04:35 at English,
04:37 those who learn English well,
04:39 it's because they have
04:41 access to English.
04:43 Those who are better at English,
04:45 they have more access
04:47 to learn English
04:49 without being nervous.
04:51 In times of globalization,
04:53 it's said that you can learn
04:55 other languages.
04:57 What's important is
04:59 not to forget the language
05:01 you were taught.
05:03 But what will be the reaction
05:05 of people if they see
05:07 a Filipino who is being mistreated
05:09 because of his poor English?
05:11 The scene is
05:13 on a street,
05:15 our British foreigner
05:17 is asking for directions.
05:19 Ah!
05:21 Timog, sir!
05:23 That's all.
05:25 Our Filipino girl
05:27 is having a hard time speaking English.
05:29 And...
05:31 What's the word?
05:33 Yutawed!
05:35 While our two Filipinos
05:37 are pretending to be embarrassed by the girl.
05:39 You can do it!
05:41 Do you want to help?
05:43 No, you do it.
05:45 The English class has started.
05:47 At first,
05:51 our Filipino friend is just passing by
05:53 and laughing.
05:55 Our two other Filipino friends
05:57 are also on cue to cry.
05:59 Until now, they are asking
06:01 for help from a student who is passing by.
06:03 The target
06:05 looks like he's confused.
06:07 But Nica still helps.
06:09 Timog?
06:11 Yeah, yeah, sir.
06:13 Go there. English is difficult.
06:15 I think so.
06:17 Go.
06:19 Then right.
06:21 And how far is that?
06:23 I don't know, sir. It's there.
06:25 I'm looking.
06:27 I'm trying to give directions
06:29 where he wants to go.
06:31 Just there.
06:33 I'm not familiar with that area.
06:35 We should try our best
06:39 to help
06:41 and lead to the
06:43 right direction.
06:45 Remember, dear friends.
06:47 It's not a matter of being human
06:49 if a person's grammar is wrong.
06:51 If we can see that
06:53 they are doing their best
06:55 to convey
06:57 a message, even if it's a bit confusing,
06:59 let's not laugh.
07:01 Let's help.
07:03 Our experiment is a proof
07:05 that helping others
07:07 is not measured by the size
07:09 of the person serving
07:11 but by sincerity.
07:13 Nica, it's the thought
07:15 that counts.
