When you think about it, this entire Flipino-English discourse only came to be because thousands of people prove why we rank high on illiteracy and those same people just lack sympathy and understanding 😭

[Cloudy’s Safe Space @CloudedMisties]

People in Luzon calling Filipinos who speak English privilege and doesn’t like their own culture while they make fun of Filipinos who speak Bisaya okay man 😂😂😂

[Coco ♡ @rozenheartdream]

Another perspective that I don’t see being addressed in this discussion is how bullying has effects that can last years to a whole lifetime

Whether you’re learning filipino or english, in the eyes of a bully, you’ll never be enough. Lagi kang may kulang, lagi kang mali.

@skepache @quadrapuni @kremmibal Evil people don't think they're evil, unfortunately. Instead, they think they're correct. Ang malala pa dito, sobrang normalized na ng ganyang pagiisip sa mga pinoy 😭

@lust_ingw @kremmibal No, you're just stupid and lack the emotional intelligence to understand the point being made here. Lolz

[ʀᴇɪɢɴ • #NoToPaxSilica @xovere1gn_]

@kremmibal They read "bullying *sometimes* works" and they RAN with it 😭 (and no, bullying is never okay no matter the context. It doesn't matter if you're trying to help, bullying is bullying and you're a bitch for thinking of it as a solution.)

[that one oomf thats too v!hellfire @kremmibal]

anyways! to anyone who grew up speaking only english thats now too shy to speak tagalog because youre afraid of getting it wrong. I feel you, but dont be discouraged into learning our beautiful language.

Here are some things I did to learn and get used to speaking Fil:

[Corberan-Ball Cope Account @Jiwonsinho]

@kihaeyu It’s funny because he actually managed to learn the language despite the harassment. And now they’re dunking on him because he made an effort- that’s called bullying

[🍺 @kihaeyu]

in lab talaga ako sa mga reply ng tweet to. may nagsshare yung experience nila na na-oostracize habang nagaaral ng lenggwahe, tapos imbes na icall out yung kapwa filipino na guma na ito, inaassume at sinisisi pa yung nagsheshare ng experience niya... gg na filipinas 😓

@girlseenitall @pinkvelvet_68 Growing old doesn't exempt you from struggles that stem from your upbringing. Lahat tayo magkakaiba. Kung ikaw madaling naka detach from a version of you ruined by your childhood, edi congrats. The same can't be said for everyone. Be kind, be compassionate.

[ʀᴇɪɢɴ • #NoToPaxSilica @xovere1gn_]

@girlseenitall @pinkvelvet_68 This is just a dumb reason to hate on someone. What do YOU know about them that would explain their difficulty in learning? What do YOU know at all to judge someone so harshly??

[ʀᴇɪɢɴ • #NoToPaxSilica @xovere1gn_]

@MixxNmatch01 @NugzCheezWheez @coquitmylife @nonadraws Calling out and straight up bullying are two different things you sack of shit.

[ʀᴇɪɢɴ • #NoToPaxSilica @xovere1gn_]

@qket_ @SIRAKINAH I'm saying this about Filipinos who refuse to understand the concept of different upbringings and the difference between struggling and choosing not to learn. Y'all are dumb, illiterate, and so focused on judging others that you're refusing to understand what was said.

[ʀᴇɪɢɴ • #NoToPaxSilica @xovere1gn_]

@brokenkiwis @MKO_Reactor To understand where they come from??? Judge gusto, pagintindi ng sitwasyon, ayaw?? And mind you, op said they struggled, not that they refused to learn. They eventually learned, but it wasn't as easy. Lol dinaig nyo pa ang asong in heat sa sobrang kati mangjudge.

[ʀᴇɪɢɴ • #NoToPaxSilica @xovere1gn_]

@atwinkisagun @PizzanSteve @franzwcoffee I'm aware, and that's what I was referring to 🤦🏽 I only included op to bring a point lmao

[ʀᴇɪɢɴ • #NoToPaxSilica @xovere1gn_]

@atwinkisagun @PizzanSteve @franzwcoffee That "good take" is born out of weak reading comprehension btw. Nowhere did op say they can't speak tagalog. They just said that they STRUGGLED TO LEARN IT LATER ON IN LIFE. Not that they still can't speak it. Y'all are illiterate.

[ʀᴇɪɢɴ • #NoToPaxSilica @xovere1gn_]

@wenqueen19 @nonadraws And y'all lack sympathy, understanding, and reading comprehension. All of us have different upbringings, with some bringing in more challenges than others. Siguro kung tatanggalin nyo yang superiority complex nyo, mauunawaan nyo yan.

[ʀᴇɪɢɴ • #NoToPaxSilica @xovere1gn_]

@thesunfeelsgood @nonadraws Struggled later on in life ≠ she actively chose to not learn it. She's already learned it na, bobo lang talaga kayo mag comprehend.

[ʀᴇɪɢɴ • #NoToPaxSilica @xovere1gn_]

@quadrapuni @lilliesnymphia Read it again, bobo. It's hard overcoming things na tumatak sayo since childhood. Op made it clear na she struggled with the language, not that she didn't try to learn it. She eventually learned it, but it wasn't easy. Big difference. This is why we rank high on illiteracy 🫩
