    FACT:
    1. The first indoor gym in Korea which until this day is still being used as concert venues was designed by a Filipino, done by Filipino workers Donated by the Philippine Government.
    2 The US Embassy in Seoul was designed by a filipino and done by filipino workers.
    3. Another building which escapes my mind right now, a government building was again designed and done by a Filipino architect andworkers
    4. The bridge was done by Filipino engineers and workers.
    5. Filipino soldiers and one commandant who happens to be Ex Philippine President Ramos led in helping the koreans win the war.
    6. Why do you think the Philippines is the CallCenter capital of Asia? Precisely because of the proficiency in English and their accent is the most understandable accent.
    7. Why do you think artists like Leah Salonga and all the singers and even those who sing in karaoke’s pronounce the lyrics crystal clear that you no longer need translations?
    Before Koreans even look down on Filipinos because of their accents. They should learn to pronounce a simple english word properly first before they even dare. That actress who mocked and thinks the filipino accent that she mimicked wasn’t even close to a filipino accent!!! She was referring to a thai accent!
    I’m not Filipino. I am European, my mom is part american. I’ve been to the Philippines and they don’t deserve such crap considering that every corner you turn there’s a korean grocery or restaurant in Manila and the suburbs. If koreans feel that the Filipino accent is not at par with the American or European Accent then stop going to the Philippines to learn English. Such hypocrisy.

      that's when the problem started. Because we have treated and imitated their culture and we lost ours. That's why they look inferior at us, same with america who look down to asians bec most of us have adored hollywood culture. I think the only country in asia that everyone has high regard is Japan bec they have built their own identity and globalized their influence without copying others. Much of korean pop culture were evidently derived from Japan, Taiwan and the US!

She said that if we didn't get back to the bus at the right time, she would leave us behind. So, instead of being able to enjoy S. Korea, we were just pressed for time. And, she did leave a couple behind because they were a minute late.

    Here’s the thing, when it comes to history and richness, Philippines was once crowned as the melting pot of Asia where all cultures and races simply blend into each other without a need for prejudice or unnecessary judgement. Filipinos by nature are very welcoming and warm. But despite being patriotic, Filipinos learn the word RESPECT and RIGHTS at an early age which other people seem to fall short of. I am a Filipino and I am proud to be one accent or no accent, the mockery and sarcastic comments about me, my people, our country and our home only shows the lack of education and proper upbringing some people has and it’s not on us. If you see a Filipino being rude or condescending, then you might have done something to irritate or hurt them. So please, before you speak against my country, make sure that your knowledge and wisdom is greater than your ignorance.

And for the record, many Korean students went to our country to study so I hope those kinds of hypocrite people who discriminates not only our accents, but also our entire race would shut their freaking mouths up cause someday, we Filipinos, will show them what we are truly made of. Grr tumataas talaga ang altapresyon ko sa mga ganitong issues! Yung mga pang ba-bash ng mga tao na galing sa ibang bansa tungkol sa accent nating mga Pilipino ay talagang nakakainis. As a writer and a self-proclaimed poet, malaking sampal to para samin especially that we mostly used English language not only for aesthetic purposes but also because we simply loved it at somehow we can comfortably express ourselves because maraming terms and words na hindi basta-bastang ma e-express in Filipino language.

      Precisely that's the point. Filipinos are very particular with correct grammar and pronunciation. We don't eat words when we speak english. We pronounce them clearly. We have a natural English accent. We don't pretend to be Americans or British. It is how koreans dream of themselves when they speak english. Lastly, to some koreans who belittle Filipinos don't you dare go to the Philippines to learn english. I was once an english teacher in a korean school here in the Philippines so I know that there are many koreans who come to my country simply to learn how to speak and write English. They even enroll in online english classes. Yes, I would like to thank those Korean people for believing in us. You are truly appreciated.

    *"Some koreans underrating Filipino accents"*
    I may not be able to provide an orthodox view on how Koreans view Filipinos, but as an American- part Indonesian who find this disturbing and have been in both countries, I can uphold the actuality that Koreans look at the South East Asians as economically substandard and they consider that skin color is the symbol of everyone's current state of living which basically means if your darker you're poorer, and I kinda find that ridiculous in terms of beliefs and values.
    Filipinos (some) are obviously inlove with Korea's products, maybe those who are engaged with Kpop or Kdramas I don' t know, could be classified in that border. In the Philippines, maybe only 50% of their population that are not that attached with Korean culture are just co-existing with them but not hating (which is important). So it' s confusing how do Koreans (let's be honest most of them, not some) could set those belittling comments and mindsets towards the South East Asians in general.
    And about this video, well, my university hired a couple of Filipino teachers to amend the students (including us) fluency on our own language, So.... I won' t make a stand proving that Filipinos are way much more desirable english speaker than Koreans, because that's an obvious case.
    So they are basically racist toward Filipinos. But hey don’t worry, they don’t really have many positive views toward almost any of their Asian counterparts and their such opinions don’t really matter.
    Stay on that brand of hospitality, no matter where you come from, be proud of your legacy and have a happy life. :-)

    As a Korean who learned English in the Philippines, i got a lot of those too. I think it isn’t only about the Philippines, but about non-western countries, specifically Southeast Asian countries. Personally, I believe ability to learn and speak fluent English is irrelevant to the country. It differs by the person. But I guess, it isn’t to many people.
    Most of the times i tell people I studied abroad then say ‘from the Philippines’, they give the ‘oh…’ look and say that I sound native or that I speak fluent English. After I graduate uni and went back to Korea to work, I was asked about Philippines every interviews and some of them even laughed when I answered how much do I expect to be paid. The exact words were ‘you wouldn’t get that much even if you graduated/lived in the US.’ When I heard such comments (sounds american) in high school, I took it as a compliment. But as I started to search for job opportunities, I felt even humiliated few times. And, most of those humiliations were from english speakers who studies in the western cultures. Some of them are super proud and they think less of English speakers who learned in Asian countries. They are not even aware such comments are so rude and inappropriate. Those people think what they have learned is the “real” thing. Most of people who are not fluent in English that I’ve met rather told me that they think of Philippines as a good opportunity to learn English and experience different cultures. So.. The irony, huh? Haha 😂

      You're making it sound like native speakers are bad than koreans. No, girl. That's a lie. Most native speakers I encountered aren't racist like Koreans. As long as you speak coherent and okay-ish English, you're good.
      Learning another language is an entirely different talent. This is why they are impressed with people who speak their language because most of them didn't even know how to speak the languages in places they travel to.
      So for you to say that, it's either you're asking for sky high pay, they just don't want to pay you that much, or you are fvcking lying. 😅

    okay, since this is getting a lot of attention I'll list down some stuff.
    => compared to other countries, filipino diction makes words easier to understand since you put emphasis on vowels.
    => it's so nice to talk to filipinos because you guys are confident in your english skills so the conversation is a lot more smooth.
    => filipino parties are the BEST. i was at a fil party once and thought i would be excluded since i wouldn't get the jokes but it was the complete opposite. filipino humor is top level and i felt very included.

Very are friendly and have a genuine smile people. Very talented, intelligent, and can speak and understand English very well. We can easily learn other language and copy their accent.
    We share even if we only have a little. We accept refugees all over the world. We are genuinely kind, that's why many tried to underestimate us and take advantage of us. Still filipinos are very respectful,polite and hardworking. Willing to sacrifice and flexible where ever we are. We are great contributor of nurses, caregiver, laborer etc all over the world. We have world class nature and natural reaources. Wow! I can't stop thinking a lot of wonderful things about our country and our people. I dont care how other think about us, I just choose to appreciate all the positive and look at the criticism as a great opportunity to improve even more.

He first asked me why I like Kpop, when infact, Most of the Koreans he knows in Australia belittle filipinos. He then asked why I would love something who thinks so little of us Filipinos. From that day on I swore I’ll never listen to any Kpop songs nor watch any kdramas ever again. But Sandara Park made me go back to listening to Kpop and watching kdramas again. It’s because she has always been appreciative and loving of anything filipino. That is why I can only listen to 2ne1 and Bigbangs songs.
    But hearing all of these stories again reminded me of that conversation I had with my Australian uncle. And it made me feel so sad. Truly, no matter how you love something or someone, it doesn’t mean they or it will love you back. Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!

It shows how you were able to get the values and essence of the things you learned and from your experiences in living in the Philippines. I know there are many Filipinos around the world including Korea that Filipinos work as Nannies, Househelper, caregivers, nurses and more. May those who experience how the Filipinos take care of the Koreans be like you in spreading the good things about the Filipinos. Many non speaking in english nationals were surprised when they are in the Philippines as they see that everyone as literally everyone can speak English. If the Koreans will check the English structure, most of the time the FIlipino speak more correctly of the English language than Americans and British. This was mentioned to me by my officemate in a project. I was assigned in UK for several months and got to kmow some of the people I work with. My officemate one time talk to me and since she is studying other languages, German she is good in English compared to our other officemates. She says she noticed how I usually correct my words making sure I use past tense and correct connotations when her fellow British doesn't speak correct english. May you continue to spread the good vibes you do.

Stopped speaking Tagalog that day, except w/my mom. FF to my 30’s, I decided I wanted to learn Tagalog. Enrolled in a college class. Prof ask why I was there because my Tagalog was strong.

    Remember that among the 25 Asian Nations who can speak English proficiency, the Philippines is number 2, and accent is not necessarily needed to express the one's thoughts. Koreans who are looking down on Filipino, you should learn to speak English and every words should be perfectly pronounced. Love from Japan♥️

However, because I am from the Philippines, I got rejected a couple of times. Tried my luck in Japan, and here I am, teaching English in the land of the rising sun for 3 years.

Since the airport was big, it was kind of hard to be walking around with your handcarry so I asked an assistance from their helpdesk. Their crew was very kind and helped me a lot. She can speak English and I thought if she studied in the Philippines because of the way she talks and communicates with me is kind of a filipino signature🙂. Her English was not really that of an american accent but my, she has been concise and gives her all at work. What I mean is, why does it (accent) matter most? What matters most should be the diligence of one to be able to do the job right.

I was like “Take a chill pill, I never said that I’m american and always say that I am in the Philippines. His reply was “your accent lied to me! What will I do now?”

    This is exactly , the word “accent” existed for how it means is because it differs from which country you are from. Regardless of what language you’re interested in learning, there will never be such thing as perfect accent. When you are studying a certain language, you are learning the language not the accent as it only comes along with it. This is why language is the only tool that is sharpened when used. You are not sharpening the accent, you are sharpening the language you are trying to learn. ❤️

    One of the reasons call centers are booming in the Philippines is because Filipino English is more understandable than other accents out there.We use American English. Most Koreans on the other hand so far speak English with distinct accent which is quite hard to understand. And our accent depends most likely on who we are speaking with. The most used ones being mocked at like Manny Pacquiao's is the accent from people who arent that much into speaking English but can still speak decent English. And no matter what Koreans say about the accent they still choose to study here and that all that matters. Bottom line they still appreciate our language. Only the boastful ones belittle Filipino English.

Remember, when a person mocks you, it reflects on what their personalities/traits are and not yours. Don't let society dictate your life because you are "you", and they're not "you".

    Someone once said... "They hate because they can't."
    And somebody else said... "Envy and jealousy turns to criticism and hate."
    Just by the two phrases alone we could a bit assume why others criticize because unfortunately they want to drag down somebody which is a higher level than them.

    We Pinoys don't care what Koreans said becuase Their attitudes are reflecting to themselves which are better that accent or attitude of a person. Just saying we and most of Pinoys if not all we are trained to respect people we don't care with that accent thingy. Am most proud of my Pinoy accent am currently in Dubai and when it comes to accent it's nothing we Pinoy here are far better to other nationalities when it comes to working capabilities and we are always humble and most specially we don't like to hurt other feelings.
