Wow. The way she flips from Pilipino to English and back again, her name oughta be Gloria Macaronical Arroyo.

 

Never met a Pilipino(a) that ever spoke Pilipino....most speak tagalog ;-)

 

I worked on Guam for six years and much of that time in a civil engineering firm. Most of the engineers and drafters were from PI. No matter what their job, every one of them had an "engineering" degree. It was fun to watch them razz each other about who's "university" was a joke and who's was real. Though all had a "degree" it was like night and day between those that had real ones and those that didn't.

 

“I think this is a good thing kaya lang ang downside noon ay dahil hindi mahigpit ang regulation so as not to stop the innovations ng creativity, kung minsan may mga college institutions kapag nag-eexamination yung mga estudyante nila ‘yung mga graduates nila sa PRC, lagpak lahat

Ohhhh Tagalog. I thought I became dyslexic right in the middle of that sentence

 

Buna dimineata, all. Pilipino is the govt-standardized form of Tagalog; many other languages are spoken as well. I got lectured by somebody a while back not to call it Tagalog anymore.
A revedere, Janko

 

Perhaps, Pilipino is an accredited B&M language while tagalog is unaccredited language via DL???

Ohhh no... please don't flame me I'm Filipino, not Pilipino

Hi Ike,

Quite right...

The Republic of the Philippines according to The World Factbook.

cheers

 

Wow naman pare!! Hanga ako sa mga credentials mo Ingit lang ang manga puti dito sa America. Kumusta naman diyan?

Itaas natin and bandera nang Pinas!

 

For that enlightenment, I offer marameng salamet po [sic].

 

Thanks (I guess).
I'm beginning to think I've got pancit for brains, so don't mind me.
This thread is fun, even if I don't know what's going on.

 

(I think I'll join in the fun.)

You see guys, it's not easy being Filipino with a country of 7000 islands (plus or minus depending on the rise of the tide) with 80 languages to boot...
I just go up 80 kilometer North of Manila and I can't even understand what they're saying...
I go down south, I'm like completely in a different country hearing another language...
that's why many of us prefer to read (check out the books in the stores) in English....

 

Oh yes... just bring wih you at least 8 mini dictionaries for its 8 major languages or, at best , 170 dictionaries to be more conversant with 170+ local dialects (80?).

Di ko alam kung ano'ng gustong palabasin dito sa thread na 'to...sa totoo lang... Wa 'ko kabalo'g unsay gusto dinha Diri ako maaram kun ano it karuyag nira dinhi.

O ano, gusto niyo pa?

Mabuhay! Maayong adlawa! Maupay nga adlaw! Good day!
(Waray ako)

 

Hanga talaga ako, pare. Akalo tagalog lang ang alam mo na salita. Me nag sabi ba nang "pansit?" Padalhan naman ninyo ako nang pansit dito sa Pennsylvania. Wala gaano ang mga Pinoy dito. Ako lang yata

Napanak dijay palengke, awan met ti pansit. Kunada nga ado to Ilocano ditoy, pero awan met

 

Gosh I never knew there were more than 170 (all the time I thought they were just around 80)- thanks for the info.
Besides tagalog, I could only manage Kapampangan and Bicol Naga (and cambodian of course!)
So to all of you out there...
Marhay na banggi...
Mayap a bengi....

 

Are these campus based schools providing poor education or are these mills selling degrees?

 

Re: Re: Phillipine president orders closing of diploma mills

Hindi pare ko. Nagbebenta sila nang peke na college degrees. Matatalino at guapo ang mga Pinoy kaya ingit lang kayong mga puti.

Kahit kumakain kami nang aso, kami parin ang Asian studs.

Translation:

These "schools" are selling fake degrees. I am not aware of any traditional Filipino B&M schools that offer legitimate online degrees. However, that is not to say that Filipino colleges - University of the Philippines, Far East University, Mapua College of Engineering, University of Santo Tomas, Ateneo, LaSalle, to name a few - are some of the best colleges in Southeast Asia..

 

Re: Re: Re: Phillipine president orders closing of diploma mills

Right... actually, pam-pogi points lang ang college degree (fake or real)... after all lahat ng Pinoy are born degree holders....@room temperature (Celcius)

 

Re: Re: Phillipine president orders closing of diploma mills

They were selling "yema", "ice candy", "ice drop", "santol", "lanzones", and "manga", and etc. to students during recess (breaktime). When the overseas demand for cheap labor (requiring degrees of course) sky-rocketed (probably in the 70s), these schools, got the opportunity to get into the market niche (of course they also teach business not only in theory but in practice), they started selling degrees too. So, they add up to their commodities of "yema", "santol", "lanzones", etc., and now "degrees".

This is how it all started, it's all due to overseas demand for cheap labor with degrees.

Philosophy: "Why should someone take pain completing a 5-year engineering degree, if only to be paid 1/4 the pay of those without degree or with fake degree overseas"

Simple di ba kabayan, anong say niyo...
