hard to teach us born filams tagalog . even if you have abs or
gma 24 and 7. if they dont want to to watch it , you are
powerless. when they go to school they speak english . we talk to
them in tagalog but they respond in english. there you go . maybe
when they are older they can learn filipino when they feel like
it. hard to force people if they dont feel like it. btw they
understand it but dont speak it . maybe they are embarrassed with
their accent when they try to speak tagalog

I understand what you're saying and i agree with ur last point "maybe
they are just embarrassed with their accent when they try to speak
tagalog". however, i hope you understood my point that i wasn't
referring to people who are just embarrassed but indeed those people
that i know for a fact who just absolutely deny it. when i wrote this
i wasn't speculating, these are based from my experiences my friend.

btw in school they teach em to say they are "american" when asked.
or what country are they from and teacher taught em " the united
states of america". many of the students in their particular classes
are of different ethnicities about 80 to 95 percent non white.
[ used to be worse in the other school 90 percent indian ].teachers
were puti in last class. i guess the training is mostly geared for
the mexican classmates who are really astig in being mexicano some of
whose parents could not even communicate a single word in english.

imo its cultural. us born kids who speak english tend to gravitate
more towards english speaking kids who have the same backround. thats
why they tend to not easily gravitate toward the newly arrived pinoy
kids who still have language or culture shock. i have seen that myself
long ago when i went briefly to a us hs.
