This horse has been kicked enough. But thought to share some stuff I dug up about it. Maybe to add context. 🧵
1. Cebuano pride is real and has a history. In 1937, Tagalog was chosen as the basis of the national language, and Cebuano speakers resisted. At the time, Cebuano speakers actually outnumbered Tagalog speakers. Census data show Cebuano at about 24% of mother tongues in 1960, against Tagalog's 21%.

oh please u are beyond greedy and disgusting
Taylor Swift says she wanted to make sure she wasn’t kicking anybody else off the ‘Toy Story 5’ soundtrack before agreeing to do ‘I Knew It, I Knew You’ — after leaving Pixar on hold while she completed the Eras Tour:
“I was repeatedly asking, ‘I know that it took me a couple months to come back to this project. Be honest: Did you guys replace me? I don’t want to kick somebody off of this project that you reached out to after [me]. I understand, but I’m not in the business of doing that.'”

You can't just understand a language you're frequently exposed to. Eventually, you will learn to speak it. That's literally how we learn to speak. Kaya maraming bilingual na bata even before they go to school. Because their parents speak to them in MT and watch English shows.
As i said a million times na dito, understanding tagalog and speaking it are two distinct skills. im sure Cebuanos can understand tagalog. Speaking it requires practice. real time processing of what words to say and how to pronounce it is harder than you think. Especially for 40s up at wala na sa school. plus being conscious of their accent greatly contributes sa pagiging hesitant nila mag tagalog, since in the past they are mocked for their accent
"All they ask is for people to speak a bit of their language."
The post that started this mess: "Speak Bisaya or English or leave."
LMAO
Interesting to see the level of vitriol against Cebuanos and Bisaya speakers when all they ask is for people to try to speak a bit of their language when one goes to visit their provinces or regions, where if you can’t then they ask for folks to use English. Both Filipino and English are Philippine national languages.
As a frequent traveler both in the Philippines and in foreign countries, I always try to learn basic sentences or words to get me through the place I’m visiting. I don’t go to a place expecting locals to adjust to my lack of local language skills. Where I have reached my limit, I use Google translate. Tip: it’s very helpful when you’re in Japan.
But I digress, I wonder why it’s considered such a sin for Cebuanos or Bisayans to ask visitors to know a little bit of their language, and if not default to English. There’s a whole study that could be done there about privilege, prejudice, and entitlement.
I’ve also noticed that many resort to name-calling over actually providing a decent argument. Fascinating.

Am i the only one who don't believe that excuse at all? like, you mean to tell me the non metro, far away cities in Mindanao that are less likely to see tourists and got less educational funding speaks the language better than yall?
Imagine hating on people because you don't understand how language works. LMAO

For us Cordillerans, Filipino is also our third or fourth language but we speak it just fine. 🤷
I don't really see the issue with speaking our official language. Sounds like a mindset issue to me lol

Malay nyo guys yung Cebuano guy na yun di sya marunong mag-Filipino kase binagsak nya yung subject.
At yun lang talaga problema nya pero dinaan nya sa angas na lang to over compensate.
Wag na sya mag-Siargao unless he knows how to speak Surigaonon!
What's so funny about this is that I bet Cebuanos do not speak in English when talking to locals when they visit other non-Bisaya regions of the Philippines. Imagine them riding a habal-habal while traveling in Palawan and then telling the driver, "manong, please pull over."
Filipino isnt being used there outside the classroom. Why would they? No use at all in their everyday lives, they consume english content, the people around them talk Bisaya. Everything around them is either Bisaya or English. So an occassional tourist cant demand them to speak in a language that they arent accustomed to use.
And we still don't have this drama about Tagalog. LMAO

Wa ba diay TV sa inyoha? Syaro gi-dub pud sa Bisaya ang mga shows? Katong buhi pa ang RNG ng ABS, naay localized shows shown before the national shows. Ayaw kog ingna wa pud mo ninglantaw sa mga TV shows? Nganong sikat ang KathNiel be di man sila Bisaya?
This is literally the case anywhere else in the Philippines where the mother tongue isn't Tagalog. Pero sa Bisaya/Cebuano lang to problema for some reason. LMAO

P1: "If you come to Cebu, don't speak to us in Tagalog. English or Bisaya lang. If you don't like it, leave."
P2: "Didn't you, like, learn how to speak Tagalog in school?"
P3: "Why are you so obsessed with Bisaya?"
LMAOOOOOOO

In Cordillera, usually, a "schooled" child speaks 4 languages: their own, the lingua franca (wc is Ilokano) and the languages taught in school (wc is Filipino and English). Sa ilang munisipyo, kaya pa nilang makaintindi ng lagpas sa 4 lalo kung halu-halo ang tribu at mga grupo.
Not only that, but we have no problem speaking Hiligaynon even when our mother tongue is Kinaray-a, Akeanon, or Capiznon.

As a Bisaya, oa ng mga ganitong takes. Bobo lang yong mga bisaya na di marunong kuno mag-Tagalog at preference nila ay English.
Filipino is literally the medium of instruction since kinder and to some extent upto college. Sobrang bobo mo na non kung wala kang na pick up! Pwee 🤮
