Advantages: official language of many countries and international

organizations, most scientific publications are in this language, as

well as lots of books, it’s grammar is very simple, even though it
has irregularities. Lots of internationally used roots and words in
it’s vocabulary.
Disadvantages: phonetically hard for many foreigners to learn,
and the low gap between the sounds of some English phonemes
facilitates misunderstandings depending on your accent.
Also, it’s international use causes extra problems: in some
countries English-native speakers have preference to get a job,
also some girls prefer to marry an English-native man to raise
English-native children, It’s easier for native speaker to impose
their opinions in a international forum that uses English as its
official language. This is not a problem of the language itself, but
of the role we give to it. On the other hand, the use of English by
lots of people with different cultural background is creating new
English dialects and many words and expressions from other
languages were incorporated to English recently.

1. English is now perceived by some as a language to establish

a sense of pride, superiority over Filipinos who can’t speak
English fluently. This can often be agrandised through the
usage of accents such as American or British ones. You
often find snobbish Filipinos speaking English that may
sound unnatural simply because they’re merely mimicking.
Of course, some may have grew up or spent most of their
time in a foreign country; that’s an exception if they can
speak Filipino atleast or switch to a Filipino accent that we
hear and love.
