LOL, again i'm sorry if that wasnt clear. I have noticed at least around
here, young Filipinos still prefer to use English around friends they know
speak the same language, because it's just what they do with other friends
(Usually company is mixed). Only when they want to say something private
in mixed company would they use Tagalog (most of them are, around here).
Some only understand the language, but cannot speak it, so they often
reply back to their parents in English.
