The Americans put English into the Philippines from the beginning of the 20th century. Right now, in the Philippines there are nearly 10 different languages. In nearly 50 years in the U.S., Americans forced Phil to speak English to communicate, trade, political,... Phil has the right to fight it in different ways. But most of them learned English to be able to use English very well.

The American dollar has less than 50 years while the Spanish "owns" the Philippines to 3 centuries. So why did Phil not speak Spanish? The simplest reason is that by Americans encouraging the Filipino to learn English for economic purposes, not to force the Filipino to change religion.

In 1946, the U.S. signed but maintained a number of military bases here. Although the Americans were gone, the Filipino retained English as a second language.

According to the study entitled "Global Issues in Language Education" was announced in 1997 by Doray Espinosa of the International Language Institute of Japan, an important reason for the Filipino who continued to learn English after the Americans came out because they believed someday , the Philippines can become the 51 state of the United States.

The Filipino effort
