it's possible, actually! but i believe it's the environment which op grew up in too.
there was a philippine english paper whose author i conveniently forgot BWHDBWHD but it explained something about how this child learned english because of Tayo the Bus (cartoon)
as for struggling with filipino because of cartoons, i think that's genuinely possible but not the sole factor.
there should be affective filters in play to not be able to learn filipino in an environment where filipino is the dominant languageโthat is, *if* Filipino was +

@ephemeral_smile fics usually follow standard narrative form. so there's narrative and dialogue (yk the usual stuff u see in novels)
otherwise, there's the unconventional stuff where it's all JUST dialogue so line break after line break (see: kiss of the spiderwoman)
my take on current filipino discourse regarding representation as a very baby postcolonial studies scholar (in the philippines):
i think the need to distinguish "filipino-ness" is the problem in most arguments i've seen.
