its natural for filipino to mix english and their native language which we called "taglish"
english was the second most spoken language in our country about an average of 30-40% of daily life and above 50% of city people understand english fluently...so if you're a tourist and know and understand english then you'll be safe with communicating with the countrymen

scratch Hi. I am a Filipina and unfortunately I don't watch Filipino dramas and even
movies. If i see one on tv, immediately switched to any english program i could managed. It's just that I don't find the filipino entertainment entertaining at all. The story, cinematography, actors are of no art. I don't know who are the kind of audience they are targeting but it certainly lacks originality. They don't care as long as it sells. I only watch English films and lately Japanese

Mostly, the Filipino shows that deviate from cliches are the teen oriented ones...I especially love ABT UR LUV...it has that very modern feel, from the names and everything...

I recommend this:

UnderAGE is a coming-of-age story of three young sisters (Celina, Cecilia and Corazon), who grew up in the province and knew no other love except that which their mother has showered upon them. In their town, their neighbors look down on their family and see their mother as an immoral for having been impregnated by three different men who are all Americans. Gifted with beauty, intelligence and charm, they grew up to be apathetic and stubborn teenagers who deem each other and their mother as the only important people in their world. But what if fate suddenly turns against them and takes their mother away? They’d be forced to a whole new life, encounter new people, face disasters, meet the first men in their lives, and learn the most important lessons their mother failed to teach them. Can their strong and naughty acts get them through all the hardships? Can their devilish horns be transformed into halos?

I watched My Girl Philippines (hardsubbed) added by tiratira on DA. The last episodes were 13-15. This is one drama that I would like to see completed. This is the first time that I've watched an engsub philipino drama. I would be curious to see more philipino dramas out in DA.

It's just normal because it's our second language. you can hear it everywhere and in any shows ie. tv, movie, radio.

English is our second language here in the Philippines. I live in Cebu, somewhere is Visayas and we don't speak tagalog because we also have our own dialect. This may sound funny but I can speak English more than our national language which is Filipino, but I still do understand Tagalog, 100%, it's just that we can express more by using English. That's one of the reasons why a lot of foreigners from Non-English- speaking countries come here to learn English. There are a lot of English academies and schools here that teach ESL (English as a Second Language) to foreigners. Smile

Hmm, are there any Filipino dramas out there that are ORIGINAL? The ones that aren't Spanish-influenced, or remakes of Korean dramas. Because I'd like to see how a REAL Filipino drama is like :[[ It's like we're losing our culture, it makes me sad.


you should watch Precious Heart Romance presents Bud Brothers

y watch it? Wub salut
1.) original => based on pinoy pocketbooks
2.) romance comedy
3.) very short => 1 book runs for 2 weeks
4.) fresh faces and fresh loveteams
5.) love their punchlines
6.) No SUB-PLOT => the story only revolves around 2 ppl

In the Philippines, the networks ARE the shippers. Network Ship is your ONLY ship. And their ships will ALWAYS be canon.

MY family watches alot of FIlipino programming on TV (TFC and GMA to be specific).

I've never found any interest in any Filipino Drama production, mainly due to lack of quality.

Several things I have noticed that every Phil.Drama has in Common:

Domestic Violence
Someone Crying
Someone Dying
Cheesy English
Mermaids / Mermen covered in paint
Homeless People that are RIDICULOUSLY realistic . dirty
Lots of people with Prosthetic deformaties

I've seen material produced with low budget, but quality was really high ^_^
