In my experience, that seems to be true, and I have been wondering why.

I have met Filipinos from different walks of life who spoke English as well as, sometime even better than, Chinese who learned English for good many years and some majored in English in College and still find themselves stop, think before then speak it. But for Filipinos it seems they do't have that same delima of 2-second-delay to deal with and speak it naturaly. I am talking about all filipinos I have met no matter what background they are from.

So I'm really curious as to why that is, can Ayo shed some light on that?

Many thanks
