Cut him some slack

At ilang call center agent na meron ng kayamanan tulad ni Manny? Or accomplished like Manny? At kelan naging flawless in English ang basihan sa pagiging tao? Dami lang talaga nasobrahan sa hangin sa ulo.

Like parrots taught in School X. They speak english fluently and with diction. Kung alam lang sana ng marami na "parrot speak" sila.

For as long as you got your intended message across,- then you did it well...

"Conversational english" should be good enough....

Why is it when a Brazilian, or Russian, or Eastern European speaks English with poor grammar and wrong pronunciation, we find it charming, but when a Filipino does the same thing, we all break out in guffaw and mercilessly start criticizing the poor sod?

Anyway, I'd rather have a billion bucks and have poor grammar, than be the best orator with nary a dime in my name.

reminds of the long introduction in one of Bob Ong's books when he criticizes Filipinos for their obsession over fluent english...

product of colonial mentality

Naalala ko tuloy,- mahirap intindihin ang Ingles ng Hapon at Intsik pero pilit nating iniintindi....

Ang Pinoy,- magaling mag-Ingles,- malinaw at hindi kinakain ang salita.... Magaling pang mag-adjust,-
Kapag Amerikano ang kausap,- ma-islang para magkaintindihan sila.

Kapag kapwa foreign language ang Ingles sa kanila,- marahan at malinaw....

karamihan kasi sa atin iniisip na perfect english + diploma = instant $$$

nawawala na ang value ng skill, productivity and efficiency kasi halos lahat gusto easy money

nakakalimutan nilang si pacquiao e hindi naman instant yaman magmula nang nagsimula siya sa boxing

despite his international fame and charisma... his own countrymen will stab him in the back coz they can't get a piece of the cake... typical pinoy
