                    [Summary] => If they can’t then they have no business running for president. It is sheer hypocrisy to say that Tagalog is the national language – it is not, not for as long as the language of government, of business, of cultural intercourse is English – not Tagalog. This is the fact of Filipino life – the language of instruction in the universities is English, the major newspapers are in English, the scientific and intellectual discourse is English. Therefore the well trained and educated Filipino is an English speaker.
