@indaylili: mao sad lage.. isig-descriminate.. if we try to trace back the root of the hate between the Tagalogs & Cebuanos, maabtan cguro ta ug 48 years... btaw sah? nganu sad jud kha?
hinuon, if ako personally, der are some traits of the Tagalogs that I really don't like, and i know, tagalogs also hate some of our traits..

English isnt our native language. So nganung sa tanang language nga gigamit sa pilipinas kana man jud imo gisuggest? What are you trying to imply? Sorry huh!pero i dont like the idea man gud, pilipino gud ka, then be a filipino. FYI:We study English language to become competent and communicate with people around the globe not to make it as our national Language.

number 1 ta in business english because we are number 2 worldwide for BPO industry, following INdia... BPO industry or commonly called Call center industry.. it's true that most of us are still under the marginal sector, but see the brighter side, many foreign companies are venturing in the country,, it's not just about pride, it's acknowledging and letting the people know that despite the downside of the economy, it still manages to grow, maybe not on all sectors, but only to some..
Now, you know what's the problem with the economy? It's not the economy, but us, the people and the government. the people is either too coward or too lazy to even care about the anomalies and abuse of the gov't with it's power. and the gov't is too bendable and cunning in implementing "rules". notice why despite the many opportunities that come to our country, we're still third world? it's because of corruption. it hinders our growth.
if only we instill vigilance and unity, then maybe, that's the time that we'll surely feel the economic growth, and give justice to the pride2x that we always shout out...

my point is we should have had enough of this "false pride". I mean i'ts good to be inspired but now I see it, in our case nowadays, as just something intoxicating like liquor most filipinos (esp the masses) find themselves drunken with these "pride" making them think we are the "bida" or "nagadala" or best amongst other nationalities---we are better english speaking than this and those countries, better singers, boxers. mura ug topic mostly sa imnanan.

And what do u mean its not a problem about economy? well as you articulated it's about governance and those people not speaking out or standing against it. Well that's that another black eye to add. And those corrupt politicians no matter how you as an individual separate yourself from them and their deeds, still they are the embodiment of the entire filipino culture. We put them there and we still share the same soil, culture and traditions no matter unsaon nimo pag ingon there's not way you're gonna become corrupt like them. Or just try putting yourself in their shoes and expose yourself with possession of power.

Mao gyud na usually reaction or isulti nato when a finger pointed in our very noses questioning our integrity as Filipinos.."no ui ang gobyerno man ang corrupt and mao na naka pa pobre sa pinas" and whow are these corrupt politicians, americans or foreigners?

And yah the "brighter side" you mentioned about foreign companies venturing or investing here its because of our cheap labor and us being known to (not by choice but desperation for income) do anything just to keep ourselves outside the bounds of unemployment. Imagine our doctors willing to become nurses in the states?

And again, these "brighter side" are just mere crumbs we are forced to eat if only we haven't fallen from just economy 2nd to Japan in Asia 4 or 5 decades ago.

Pareha rana niingon nga "maayo gyud ko I'm the best wa gyud ko namatay pag crash sa sakyanan nga akong gimaniho"
I mean yah we are good at surviving because we have to considering the shortcomings and failures we committed ourselves into

Mao pud na giingon we can't handle criticisms. Mura ug dili kaayo tah maayo mu associate sa mga politiko nga corrupt
pero Manny Pacquia or charisse na gani WE ARE PROUD TO BE PINOYS!!!

Also one thing, you guys want are real dose of reality?
Try travelling around esp first world countries or in europe and flash you filipino passports proudly let's see how immigration officers prepare a "special" almost an interrogation kind of questioning as compared to other nationals.

PEACE!!!

It depends. Both the two languages have importance.
