don't stop writing
I see a lot of people complaining about how the point system works. I don't blame you because I was also like you.
I complained about it because I was barely earning points for my articles. I stopped writing for a few hours and asked myself if I should continue to use this platform or just go back to my blog. I thought about it for a few hours.
Then, it came up to me.
I asked myself, why am I really here? I could've just written and published my articles in my blog, but why am I here?
Yes, I wanted to earn money as much as you do. But I stayed because there's more to this platform than just earning and I found a lot of reasons to stay.
So, I looked at it in a different perspective. I stopped blaming the system for it and I tried a different approach. If the first approach doesn't work, then try a different one until you make it work. I realized that the problem is not the system. The problem was with me on how I wrote my articles. I was too focused on earning money that I wasn't passionate enough on writing my articles.
So, I wrote a few articles to my heart's content. I would read it a few times and try to see it in a different view. I would ask myself, if I am the reader, would I like this article? Would this article be interesting? Would it be worth my time?
It changed my views in writing and made me improve as an author.
Two days ago, I used to earn 100 points a day but now I earn almost 400 points daily which is a blessing.
My point is don't stop writing. Stop blaming the system. Try to write an article if it's not giving you the points you wanted, then write another one. Work hard for it. Learn to reflect on the things you did. Be honest with yourself.
Convince yourself, "If they were able to achieve it, then so am I".
Believe in yourself and write these articles with so much passion that you can bet your life on it. It is the attitude on how you face the situation that will help you improve.
If you are already reading this but it is still not helping you or not convincing you. You can practice freewriting by @wakeupkitty where you are given 10 minutes to write about one topic.
Write anything that you can think of in 10 minutes. No pressure! Don't even think about the first thing you wrote and just keep on writing until the timer stops. Once it stops, read everything. It is a mess but you can revise it to a better version. At least, you already have the ideas in front of you.
Make it clear and concise as possible. Be direct with your intentions. Use simple words that would make the readers relate and understand. Remove unnecessary and unimportant sentences. Good grammar is not a requirement but it is an advantage because it lets you relay the message you want to say.
That is how you start as a writer.
Practice, practice until you get it right.
Amber Fort
When we talk about the places that we can visit in India, the first thing that pops in our heads would be Taj Mahal. But, do you know that there are more beautiful places in India that we can go to?
For example, there is Amber Fort which is located high on a hill in Amer, Rajasthan, India. It has become one of the main tourist spot in Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan and has been considered as one of the most beautiful places in India. It was declared as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2013.
Frankly, I have not been there but I have a close friend that is working near Rajasthan and he recently traveled to this place. He sent me some pictures and invited me to visit it. He recommends it more than Taj Mahal because as he said it is much more majestic. He also compared its beauty to the Acropolis in Athens, Greece and he said that both are alike in some ways. I wonder if it's true.
He even gave me some tips for future use in case if I get to visit this place. One of the tips that he gave me is to always bring my camera because if the place looks wonderful from afar, it looks even more majestic and luxurious inside. The scenery that you can also watch from the fort is also beautiful like you are in a movie. So, if ever you will visit this place, don't forget to bring your camera!
I wish I get to visit this place after this coronavirus situation that we have.
Since the descriptions that he gave me were intriguing. I made my own research about the Amber Fort and it seems like it was a residential house to the Royal Family of Jaipur. Isn't it crazy to get to visit a palace where the royal family lived for many years?
Let's all meet up there when all this tragedy is over!
We all need a vacation in Amber Fort!
Valentine's Day and its stories
What do we celebrate every 14th of February?
Anyone can answer this question. Even a kid can answer this.
It is Valentine's Day.
We always say Happy Valentine's Day to our parents, grandparents, sibling, friends, lovers and even to strangers! People make a big deal out of this day. Do we even know how Valentine's Day became a thing?
Who is Valentine? Who is this patron saint?
There are a lot of stories that were made to answer these questions but the Catholic Church only recognize three different saints named Valentine who were all martyred.
The first Valentine was a priest in Rome thousands of years ago. It all started when the Emperor at that time thought that soldiers that were single and childless were better than those who had wives and kids. Because of this, he prohibited the marriage of young men. Valentine realized the injustice of this, so he performed secret marriages for young lovers. When the Emperor found out, he ordered his men to kill Valentine.
The second Valentine was a prisoner who fell in love with the jailer's daughter who kept on visiting him during his confinement. Before his death, he wrote a letter to this young girl and signed it as "from your Valentine" which is the common expression that we use these days.
The third Valentine was a civilian that was killed for attempting to help Christians escape from Roman who tortured them.
These are stories of the three Valentines that the Catholic Church recognize. These stories show that Valentine is heroic and romantic.
Which story do you think is correct?
Unfortunately, these stories are not even related to the real story. There is a different story of what Valentine's Day really is about and it is related to Lupercalia.
Let me know if you want me to write an article about Lupercalia. ❤️

Like vs Respect
In this growing world, people are exposed a lot to the internet. It is rare to find a person that doesn't have a social media account and most people would do anything just to get the attention and likes they wanted.
Some would show too much skin just to get these likes and attention. I mean, I totally respect your decisions.
But I wonder, do you prefer to be liked? Or to be respected?
Because most people these days, forget the value of respect. They complain that people are not respecting them. Well, what do you expect from revealing too much skin? You don't gain respect on that. You get likes but people will disrespect you especially uneducated and narrow minded people.
There are people that like you but disrepect you. There are also people that respect you but dislike you.
Like is where a person finds you agreeable, enjoyable or just features you have that they like. It is just temporary and can easily be changed. You can also be easily forgotten because people tend to like a lot of things. Respect, on the other hand, is where people hold some feelings of deep admiration to you or something you have done. Respect can be there for a long time, unless you do something stupid to change how they look at you.
I find respect really important. If people respect you, even if they don't like you, they will not bother you and they will mind their own business. Compared to when people only like you but doesn't respect you, these people have a lot to say about you. I find the word like as a shallow thing that is breakable. They can insult you, betray you, talk about you and other disrespectful things.
BUT, WE ALL WANT TO BE LIKED.
Who doesn't?
As for me, I prefer to be respected but it is not bad to ask for more, it definitely is better to have a mix of both. Getting like by people boosts our self-esteem but earning the respect from people lets you live a healthy life with a piece of mind.
What about you? What do you prefer? If you only get to choose one, which would you choose?

Cebu's Castle Church
Simala Shrine is also known as Cebu's Castle Church. It became one of the favorite tourist spot of many foreigners and local visitors. It is located in the uphill area of upper Lindogon, Simala, Sibonga, Cebu. It is the Monastery of the Holy Eucharist. I have been there since I was still a kid and even up to now, me and my family still visits this church.
The designs, the views and the landscapes always take my breath away. It takes a few hours for you to get here from the city but the long travel is worth it once you get there.
The people doesn't only go up there because of the scenery. The church is also known for its miraculous events. It is believed that on September 8, the Virgin Mary cried blood during her birthday. On the Virgin Mary's shrine, devotees would fall in line to meet and kiss the Virgin Mary. It will take you an hour or so if you will join them.
The church is very particular about the visitors' clothing. There is a dress code that everyone follows. If you're not following, the guards will never let you in.
Tharntype: The Series
Another Thailand BL Series that I would like to recommend!
After watching 2gether: The Series, I never thought that there is going to be another BL Series that would make me appreciate this type of movie series.
Tharntype: The Series
Type is a dark, tall and handsome freshman. He is a football player who has a past that made him homophobic. He was molested by a man as a child. His life changed when he found out that his college roommate named Tharn is gay.
Tharn is handsome and is a music major with fair skin and mixed features. He is also openly gay. When Type found out, he was disgusted with Tharn. Type did anything he could to scare Tharn and make him move out of their room but it wasn't effective.
What do you think will happen if there is a homophobic and a gay person in the room? How do you think it ended?
Do you want to know?
How about you watch it?
The twists of the series were great. It is full of love and they act so naturally. I recommend this to you ❤️
PS. This has a lot of love scenes!
how was i able to do this
I have been writing and publishing my articles for a week. I have written and achieved a lot of things in on week.
Look at me. I am just a rookie writer.
How was I able to do this?
I was able to achieve things in a short span of time because of passion and motivation.
I have always wanted to write my thoughts, opinions and emotions on a particular matter. But I haven't gotten the time to do it for a lot of reasons. I was employed. I have loads of work to do. I was taking some units to be able to teach. I had no time to spend on writing.
I already have my passion in writing. Unfortunately, this pandemic made me unemployed and it gave me the time I needed to write. This platform, read.cash, gave me the motivation I need to pursue writing. It motivates me by giving out points to articles that I post and share. I feel like I am being praised for a job well done. It keeps me going.
I am the type of person that appreciates acknowledgement because I am not that confident in myself. I easily give up on things. Read.cash makes me confident in what I do.
I hope the point system motivates you as what it does to me :)

7 Wonders of the World
We talked about a lot of different beautiful places in the world: local beaches, mountains, volcanoes and others. But no one talked about the 7 Wonders of the World. Let me do the honor to introduce you to the Wonders of the World.
UNESCO chose 7 out of all the numbers because the Greeks believed that this number represented perfection and abundance. The 7 Wonders refer to remarkable constructions made by human and nature.
These are the 7 Wonders since 2017 which was announced in Switzerland:
Great Wall of China
This was built to keep out involving Mongol tribes. It is the world's largest human made structure stretching in 4000 miles.
Petra in Jordan
Petra is the capital of the Nabatocan Kingdom on the age of the Arabian dessert. It is famous for its stone structures. This is a temple that has been carved in a rose colored rock.
Christ the Redeemer in Brazil
This is located in Rio de Janeiro and it is 130 feet tall. The second highest art decor statue in the world. It is a symbol of Christianity.
Machu Picchu in Peru
This ruined city belongs to the Inca Civilization. It settles in a mountain in the Amazon Region of Peru.
Chichen Itza in Mexico
This is the most famous temple Kukulken of the Maya Civilization.
There are 91 steps in each of its four sides. One step for one day of the year.
Colosseum in Italy
This was constructed under Empire Vespasian. It looks like an ancient sports stadium for ancient Gory games involving gladiators, wild animals and prisoners.
Taj Mahal in India
This was built by Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz.
It took 15 years to build this spectacular tomb.
I hope there were pictures attached. I was having a hard time attaching some pictures because the internet connection in my place is really slow.
Forgive me!
World-Class Theme Park in Cebu
Anjo World Theme Park is located in the southern part of Cebu in a town called MInglanilla which is just a half an hour ride from Cebu City. It is Cebu's first and only world-class theme park that officially opened on December 2018. The Ticket Prices are affordable and worth it!
It operates 12 rides at the moment. These are Golden Carousel, Space Shuttle, Toad, Hip Hop, London Taxi, Boomerang, Cup, Drop Tower and Viking. It has a 200 ft Ferris Wheel, crazy Roller Coaster and Bumper Boats!
It currently features a winter experience in their indoor themed park: Snow World Cebu which is the same one that you see in Star City, Manila. The one in Cebu is much bigger compared to the one in Manila. It plans on featuring a lot of different themed zones inspired by other countries.
There are also a lot of restaurants and food stalls where you can buy and eat your meal. There are a lot of ways you can get there but with this coronavirus situation, I don't think it is best to let other people know how to get there since it is useless at this time. I will update though once everything is alright.
Stay safe!
I have some blog posts about websites where you can earn money. Legit sites, i even included a screenshot on my proof of payment. Check out my blog apieceofmrsp.net
not a joke, not funny
Depression is where we feel the saddest and loneliest where all hopes are gone. It is when we are on the verge of giving up. It is where most words of encouragement by other people will not matter because we know that they won't understand or even try to understand. We know that they don't care at all, that they just say these things out of pity or just felt obliged to say so.
There are different stories behind on people's depression. We have all been in different situations but similar paths and emotions. People might have targeted you in school, at home, on the playground or sometimes could even be at church. You become a target because people don't accept you for who you are: your ethnicity, social class, race, religion or by your looks. You become a target for being who you are and this is how you start hating yourself.
Or you just lost someone very close to you. You start questioning your existence and you mostly ask these questions:
*Why me? What have I done to be treated like this? Does God hate me?*
No. The problem is not you. The problem is with these people who keeps on belittling you, insulting you and beating you up! The problem is with the parents that raise these kids without proper discipline. The problem is with the community who tolerates these violent actions that then lead to drug addictions, much more committing crimes. These people might have had a bad childhood that made them the coward, irresponsible, immature and insensitive jerk or brat they are today.
Stay away from these people. Don't let them get to you! You are better than them and you are better than this. Our parents sacrificed everything for us to be alive and kicking today. Don't let one jerk mess the hell out of you.
Surround yourself with people that inspires you. Stay away from negativity and toxic people. Yes, it is easier said than done but always try and save yourself.
I have been in this situation and it is absolutely hard. But it made things easier when I started to accept that this is life and it is supposed to be tough. I stopped myself from having suicidal thoughts and I did these:
1. I started to understand that life is not meant to be easy.
2. I started to accept the problems thrown to me and use it as strengths.
3. I learned to be silly and told myself:
"Don't hurry, you will get there in your own time. Don't die in your own hands because it is not cute. Let us die fighting and enjoy this roller coaster ride!"
Also, if you are going through some struggles, stop saying "I'm fine".
If you want to talk, speak up first. Other people may also be distracted with the problems that they are currently facing, they might not have enough time to guess what your facial expression says.
IT IS OKAY TO NOT BE FINE.
Let us learn to talk and help each other out.
Depression is not a joke.

Life is a blessing
Come, let's talk. Tell me about your bad day.
A lot of people are dying each day especially with the coronavirus situation that we are dealing today. If you are having a bad day, then go through it. Every one has their days. People are losing their love ones. Children have lost their parents. Parents have lost their children. This bad day that you have right now could be the greatest blessing for others.
Life is hard but everything happens for a reason. The challenge is on figuring out what that reason is. Let us appreciate how alive we are today. Appreciate the small problems that we encounter because these problems make us strong. It is easy to give up but it takes a courageous person to move forward in spite of the challenges that they have faced.
Fall but don't forget to stand back up. After we go through these problems or when we are in a better place, we can all look back together and smile on how we thought that we won't be able to make it.
A mother's love
Do you know what true love is?
I have always thought I knew a lot about love but it looks like what I knew was nothing compared to what I know today. My perspective on love changed since the day I saw my little one in the delivery room. I saw the world in his eyes.
There were sleepless nights, endless crying and hungry hours. I saw busy tiring days ahead but all I knew was if it is for him, then I am down and ready for anything.
I married the love of my life and he took care of us in any way that he could. However, my love for my son is out of this world. It knows no law and no pity. It is so powerful that it could crush anything that comes its way.
Since my son came, I stopped living in time and I learned to live in the moment.
Love is just a word until somebody comes along and gives it meaning.
Timeboxing
"The more you try to do, the less you accomplished."
Have you heard about the Parkinson's law? What about time boxing?
If you don't know what these are, then let's talk about it.
**Parkinson's law** talks about how a work can expand to fill the time available before its deadline. It simply means that if you have a deadline of one week, then it takes you one week to complete it. It is the same of having deadline of one month which will also take you to complete the work in one month. If you do the work in the last minute, then that work can be completed in a minute but you just chose to procrastinate so it took you a full deadline to complete it.
Now, **time boxing** is where you set up a schedule or itinerary in advance. You give each task a specific amount of time for you to complete it. You make your own deadline. Time boxing helps us in time management.
When you set up a scheduled in advance with fixed amount of time, make sure to give a leeway for possible distractions and breaks.
If you have a big task to complete, you can also divide it in parts to makes things easier and keeps you out of pressure.
Time boxing was really useful when I was in school.
And it is still helpful even as a busy mom today.
2gether: The Series
Do we only talk about American Movies? How about we start to appreciate Thailand's famous BL Series?
BL (Boys' Love) or Gay Series are type of movie series that are really popular in Thailand.
I never got to appreciate their Gay Series not until I started to watch one.
The first Series that I watched would be one of the most talked about series which is 2gether: The Series. You can watch this in Youtube for free and it only has 13 episodes!
Tine, one of the main characters, always had fail relationships with girls. Until one day, he had a Gay admirer named Green that was obsessed with him. That is where it all started. He did a lot of things to hurt Green by making him jealous but the latter would still not stop bothering him.
Tine's friends convinced him to make Green jealous by being in a fake relationship with the University's heartthrob, Sarawat.
He asked Sarawat to be his fake boyfriend which failed the first time. He made a lot of efforts to convince him which then became successful. Green stopped bothering them but they still continued with the fake relationship until Tine developed some feelings for Sarawat.
A lot of twists happened in 13 episodes and Tine found out that since the beginning Sarawat already had his eyes on him and fate just brought them together.
I love this movie series! It took me weeks to get over it! I definitely would recommend this.
Origin of the English Language
People have argued on where the English language came from and how it originated. A lot would say that Americans created English and that their English vocabulary is the correct one compared to other countries. Wrong.
First, English has a lot of varieties. The English language of your country would depend on what standardized English does it use. There is a standard that we follow for everything to avoid confusion, misunderstanding and to get everything synchronized. For example, American English is the standardized English in United States which is also the same in the country that I’m born and raised in. While British English is for England.
Second, Americans did not create English. It was influenced by the Germanic Tribes that invaded Britain thousands of years ago. So, this language was developed by the British people over time. They had Old English, Middle English, Early and Late Modern English.
Now, how did this language reach United States?
The British Colonization to the United States made the latter develop their own native English. In fact, Americanisms were originally British expressions or words which lost through time when British developed their language. Now, there are also a lot of countries that had an influence on American English like Spanish, French, West African and others. So, it is not a shock if American English will use different words to replace or substitute the original ones.
United States has great technology. There are a lot of popular American TV shows that we watch, American music that we listen and American celebrities that we idolize. This is how a lot of countries have been influenced by this language and since it has been widely used around the globe, people would jump to conclusion that America created the English language which is incorrect.
This topic is important, useful and helpful because I have heard a lot of people arguing on this matter. Let us all be educated because ignorance excuses no one.

how time management helped me..
I am a mother of a 1 year old boy and a wife of a hardworking husband.
I prepare and cook for the family: breakfast, lunch, dinner and also snacks in between. I make sure that it is delicious and nutritious as what the family needs on a busy day ahead. I do the laundry, the dishes and the groceries. I clean the house and other chores that needs to be done. I also have to take care of my lovely plants, our wonderful pets and also myself! I also work in my free time to help my husband provide for the family. But how do I do all this with enough rest?
**TIME MANAGEMENT.**
I am a housewife and I have a lot of things to take care and think about. That is why, I always spend my time effectively and efficiently. I always follow similar routines each day to avoid forgetting other chores that needs to be done. I also have some sticky notes on the fridge to keep me reminded of some important matters. In case of things like free time, I sometimes set up alarms to let me know that "free time is over, back to being a mother and a wife!"
Working almost non-stop each day is tiring especially from being the first person to wake up to being the last person to go to sleep! But time management helps us.
Every day aside from chores, I have to take care of my son. I have to bathe him, feed him, attend to his needs, clean after his mess, change diapers and others. I spend my time with him most of the day because he needs me more. I also have to give separate time for my husband to make him feel at home and to help him forget about work. Before the day ends, we have to spend time together as a family.
my rainbow after the storm
Read.Cash brings out the best of me. I am not a good writer but I try my best to write good articles. I never thought that I could write a lot of articles in one day!
I have a blog with WordPress. I have been publishing my articles there for quite some time. I wrote articles that would help people earn extra money online. Now, I joined read.cash because I wanted to see how people can earn money in this platform and so I could write an article about it and publish it in my blog. Instead of me writing an article about read.cash, I am here writing articles in this platform for one week now! Ironic, huh?
In one week, there have been a lot of changes with Read.Cash which doesn't really make me happy. I understand that these changes are important to improve the platform and prevent people from abusing it. However, it also makes us authors confused. I know that some authors have questions in their mind that they just kept quiet about. There might have been other authors that already stopped using the platform because of its never ending changes. I'm not complaining because like I said, I understand why changes are important. It is just that these changes happen immediately for a short span of time and authors cannot even prepare for these. I have been here for a week but there are already 3 changes that have happened.
One thing that has affected me with the recent update is where points may appear 7 hours after you have posted an article because I see these points as a motivator for us to write more articles. In my experience when points would show up immediately, I could write 5 to 10 articles per day. But today, I can barely come up with one article.
Read.cash requires people to write good articles. Now, there are a lot of aspects that we have to consider when we say good articles. Does it include grammar? how sentences were constructed? the concept? how this topic have made an impact in our lives? I don't know. I feel like this platform is asking a lot from a rookie writer like me. It makes me feel out of place. I feel like read.cash's standards have went really high where I can no longer reach it. We always start as a rookie in everything and we don't become professionals immediately, right? It is a step-by-step process.
Read.cash has brought out people's passion in writing and communication skills but today, with read.cash's new system, it is starting to demotivate rookie writers like me. I was happy when @MarcDeMesel donated a huge amount in this platform. I thought that everything would go back to the way it was when I started here but it's getting harder than I thought. Now, there is always a rainbow after the storm, right?
Unexpectedly, my rainbow just came. He is @scottcbusiness who just became my sponsor. It is a good comeback. It makes me happy that he came in the exact time to save me from giving up writing. He believes in me and it made me believe in myself again. Thank you, boss!
But this is just me, okay? I just wanted to say it out there and show appreciation to my sponsor. I do hope to get more sponsors in the future that would motivate me each day. Thank you Read.Cash for everything that you do but please make it a bit easy next time. Much love.
**EDIT [!!!]**
Scott was my rainbow after that storm. I want to give it back by doing a sponsorship event once I hit 100 subscribers. This time, let me be your rainbow :)

Mayon Volcano
There are a lot of volcanoes in the world with different characteristics and different types. Do you know that world's famous perfectly coned shape Volcano is in the Philippines?
Yes, and that is Mayon Volcano.
It is the most active stratovolcano that we have here in the Philippines. The most powerful explosion that we experienced was on 1616 and since then, this volcano has errupted a total of 47 times.
This volcano is one of the most popular destinations in the Bicol Region because of its perfect classical cone shape.
A lot of people hike along the base of this volcano. The locals even made a natural park to attract more tourists that ir became the home to a lot of floral and tree species. There are also rivers, creeks, and rice fields that travelers can trek on foot or they can explore these by riding an ATV or a jeepney.
I would recommend this place because looking at this volcano in person and just by being there will make you appreciate nature. There is also more to Bicol than this volcano ❤️

Charlie's Angels (2019)
Are we not going to talk about the new Charlie's Angels that was released last year? Because I loved it! It has a sense of humor which is what we need in this busy world right now.
Charlie's Angels (2019) was directed by co-star Elizabeth Banks. I would like to share this movie with everyone. You can watch this movie in Netflix.
The different characteristics of the roles that the celebrities portrayed shows a modern female version. They followed a modern female version
These are the three angels that took part in this movie:
Kristen Stewart portrayed Sabina Wilson that has a role of being silly and playful. Ella Balinska portrayed Jane Kano, a strong fighter that is quite serious with her job. Naomi Scott portrayed Elena Houghlin, an intelligent engineer.
The twist in this movie was unexpected. Who would have thought that the first Bosley who we used to trust and love is the one that would betray everyone especially the Angels? Right! You should watch it! It will blow your mind like how it blew mine!
What I love about the movie was I saw Girl Power and unity everywhere, starting from the beginning of the move until it ended. It showed how women can be strong, independent but still have each other in times of need.
This is an action movie given a slight taste of comedy!
Philippine Language and some Dialects
Manuel Quezon declared Filipino or Tagalog as Philippines' National Language. English is another official language that we consider which is also taught in school.
Filipinos are known as good speakers. We welcome different foreigners over the world in our land. We speak good English that allows us to converse with these tourists. Aside from Tagalog and English, Philippines also has a lot of dialects spoken in different places.
These are some of the known dialects here in the Philippines:
Cebuano
The Cebuano dialect is also called by local speakers as Bisaya. Cebuano was derived from the word Cebu which is the place of origin of this dialect.
Bicolano
It is a group of dialects spoken in the Bicol Region. These dialects Albayanon, Bikol Naga and other dialects.
Ilocano
It is an Autronesian language of Ilocos that is affiliated to languages like Malay, Tetum, Chamorro, Fijian, and more. This is considered as the 3rd most spoken dialect in the country.
Chavacano
A Spanish based creole which is being spoken in Cavite, Zamboanga, Cotabato, Davao and Ternate. Zamboanga City has the highest number of people that speaks this dialect.
Tausug
This dialect is very close to the Surigaonon dialect. It is widely spoken in the province of Sulu and in the eastern area of Sabah.
These are just few descriptions of some of the commonly spoken dialects in the Philippines.
Filipinos are amazing in many ways. One of those is by being multilingual. We speak our local dialect, we know how to converse with out Filipinos through Tagalog and we learned how to speak English to converse with foreigners.
