I also agree with the others that it is not a must,
but of course it would really be a advantage to be fluent in one foreign language, particularly English.
Hi Broadway121004,

So what´s your reason of learning English?
Is it just because of the schools policies or because of your love of languages?

I learn English because I love learning it. I want to speak, and write like a native someday. I´m a Filipino just like you, in speech and in blood, in color I´m not sure of.
I see you´re taking up education, are you having an English major or what?
