Very, very true. I am perplexed myself.
Philippines has been known to be hospitable. Too hospitable we try to adapt to anyone's language. Imagine, a Filipino going to USA or Italy or France will learn English (American), Italian, or French but an American, Italian or French coming to the Philippines use their own and still the Filipino gets to be the one learning how to adapt to understand what the other is saying.
It's not so hard to understand when you consider that English tends to be the most common international language. For example, I have a good Swiss friend, and good Polish friends, several good French friends, Numerous good German friends, and they all learned English in school automatically as their second language. As a native English speaker I'm already at a disadvantage since there is no other language that is as widely used. In fact, in order to achieve the same flexibility from my second langauge that they do, I need to learn maybe 5 or 6 as my second tongue, where they only need learn one, and even then...
Of course I have the advantage of it being my native langauge, but equally, If I do not learn several second langauages I'm tarred with the brush of can't be bothered, arrogant perhaps? Not as well educated possibly, or whatever other critique might be thrown.
It's a no win situation.
On the other hand, It is also true that very many can't be bothered, are semi illiterate, do have an arrogance about speaking English, don't make any kind of effort, just expect others and so forth. That's always a little sad to me I'm afraid.
