	Philippine Languages (Filipino, English, Tagalog)
		Filipino (formerly Pilipino) is based on Tagalog and is the official language of the Philippines.
		English is generally used for educational, governmental and commercial purposes and is widely understood since it is the medium of instruction in schools.
		Since English is widely spoken in the Philippines, it is common to hear Filipinos use a mixture English and Filipino words or phrases, known as "Taglish" (a mixture of English and Tagalog), in their everyday conversations.

	Philippines - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Under the Constitution of 1987, the national language is Filipino while the official languages are Filipino and English.
		Furthermore, despite the Filipino language being made the official language of the country, it is still primarily based on Tagalog and thus natively spoken by only (24%) of the population.
		The word was coined by expatriate Filipino Americans during the 1920's and was later adopted by Filipinos in the Philippines.

		Filipino and English shall be used as media of instruction, the use allocated to specific subjects in the curriculum as indicated in the Department Order No. 25, s.
		Filipino and English shall be taught as language subjects in all levels to achieve the goals of bilingual competence.
		Since competence in the use of both Filipino and English is one of the goals of the Bilingual Education Policy, continuing improvement in the teaching of both languages, their use as media of instruction and the specification of their functions in Philippine schooling shall be the responsibility of the whole educational system.

	CHAPTER XVII
		The domains of each language are delineated, with English reserved as the `non-exclusive' language for mathematics and science in the curriculum, for home technology and work experience (temporarily), and with Filipino for all other subjects.
		Ultimately, the purposes and activities for English as a second language in the Philippines are similar to the purposes and activities for Filipino.
		English thus becomes a means of gaining access to world knowledge, available temporarily only in the world's intellectualized languages, so that the Filipino becomes universal in his outlook while secure in his own identity.

	Students of English: "Filipino English" from an Englishman's point of view
		I was always taught by my English professors that the shorter the words used, and the simpler the grammatical construction, the better the resultant English.
		And lastly, English in the Philippines has spawned some unusual nouns connected with the world of crime that commonly appear in the newspaper headlines, but which are unusual to me. Where I come from, "graft" means hard work; "salvage" means rescuing things that have sunk; and I had to look up "mulcting" in the dictionary.
		Filipino (or Pilipino, as the adherent may be) is rich because it adopts and adapts so many words from other languages.

	:: Welcome to Manila Bulletin Online ::
		There are American English terms which have a totally different meaning in Filipino English, for example, “boy,” to us a young male domestic, “hostess’’ which is synonymous to bar girl, and “salvaging” which is killing, not saving.
		La Sallian Brother Andrew Gonzalez, linguist and erstwhile education secretary, attributes the peculiarities in Filipino English — the incorrect use of prepositions “in,” “on,” and “at” discordant tenses and disagreement in number between subject and verb — to the native language influence.
		To return to a standard Filipino English (as opposed to the deviant Taglish), we should first be firmly anchored to a mother tongue or dialect before acquiring the second language.

	Martial Arts Planet - Filipino vs English boxing
		Whilst there were and are many fine Filipino boxers who added their own style to the modern development of modern boxing, to suggest that they invented something that had been already historically common a couple of centuries previously lacks any credibility.
		Filipino stickfighters/boxers obviously came to the same conclusions as the earlier weapon-using pugilists of the Uk and Ireland although FMA should probably get the credit for 're-discovering' this concept in modern boxing.
		English Boxing, like Western Fencing (which were often taught at the same Academies by the same people) constantly went through all sorts of fads, fashions and phases.

	Filipino or English: A deluge of pros and cons - INQ7.net (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		According to Dr. Consuelo J. Paz, Professor of Linguistics of the University of the Philippines, being the language of oral communication, Filipino can stake the claim as the national language though it may still not be used as the official language, that is by government and as the medium of instruction at all levels.
		For noble intents and purposes, the majority of us Filipinos may learn English as a second or third language and this, only after we have achieved our priorities including basic literacy which is more practically obtained via language we have been brought up in.
		Paz pointed out that the Constitution mandates both Filipino and English as official languages and wondered why there is impassioned resistance to Filipino being used as the language of government.

	Filipino American Literature (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		he study of Filipino American literature offers a place for the frames of postcolonial discourse and the literary efforts of the "hypenated" or "ethnic" American to converge-- an intersection which challenges the putative need to separate these endeavors on the basis of the United States's seemingly shaky status as a colonial power.
		It is important to note that American-born-Filipinos are referred to as "Flips." At present, the Filipino American population is the fastest growing Asian American group in the United States, and statistics illustrate that this community will surpass the numbers of Japanese and Chinese Americans combined in the next decade.
		What makes Filipino American literary efforts different, even from South Asian American writers, is the combination of the length of the total colonial experience, the involvement of the United States, and the varying degrees of willingness to assimilate into the American cultural landscape.

		It is a pity that entire generations of Filipinos never had the chance to discover how poetic and elegant we can be in our language, the kind that we have discovered in our fashion and music, for instance.

		Supposedly, Filipino is the national language of the Philippines, but if you speak a language spoken in the Philippines other than Tagalog, you are probably unlikely to accept that Filipino (the language) is Tagalog (and it's not).
		The "foreign tongue" to which De la Costa alluded was, of course, English—the same one that I use to write on this blog, and the one that I've learned is actually a better alternative to Tagalog in certain parts of the Philippines.
