Who speaks better English? Manny or Miguel?

[floydjoy]

cotto slightly better, i think cotto understands everything but doesnt know how to reply to somethings. pacquiao doesnt understand everything and answers completely different to the question.

I like how manny says Cleto Reyes.

English is being taught in school since kindergarten but you cannot hear people talking english on streets except students and people who are working in call centers...

Yes, English is second language here but pacman didn't even know how to speak Tagalog in his early boxing career... His first language is Visaya



Pac learned a lot...Aside from boxing, he learned how to speak Tagalog and English..

Wow!!! three languages!!! or 4 with english that's crazy (87 dialects :|)... I have heard the talalog from a friend in the Air Force.. Some words are close to spanish right? I speak four language English, Spanish, Dominican Spanish, and puertorican spanish.

Both speak it well enuf to be understandable. Cotto is a lil better I think.

Who gives a fuk! They both have learned and try to use it in front of a huge english audience. They both get my props. Unlike some other American born fighters who pretend to not know how to speak english in order to pander to the mexican fans.

Shout out to cotto & pacq for doing what most can't or refuse to do!

when manny tries to talk like William Wallace, his english is perfect





this 24/7 is gonna suck

LOL

Joshua Clottey speaks better english than all of them.

yeah mann. ui nou ji kan **** inglich

[GunStar]

I think Pacquiao is a little better.

[chinoy]

Cotto is my other favorite and im pretty surprised that as an american (well, puerto rican), he sucks in english.....all of my borikuan friends speaks almost perfect english

Of all the Filipino dialects, the Chabacano is the one closest to Spanish (80% Spanish), Hiligaynon is second (50% Spanish) which is my first language.. .. There is no Spanish in pure Tagalog language..

Some comparison

Hiligaynon (Southern part of Philippines)
counting: uno, dos, tres, cuatro, singko.. and so on
hijo de puta - son of a *****
dose aņos - 12 yrs old
pocuma so minos - more or less
abre puerta - open the door
despues - in the future, later


Tagalog (National language)
counting: isa, dalawa, tatlo, apat, lima
anak ng puta - son of a *****
labindalawang taong gulang - 12 yrs old
humigit kumulang - more or less
buksan ang pinto - open the door
saka na, mamaya - later, in the future


There is actually a very big difference and I think Pacquiao knows both Hiligaynon and Visaya before he learned Tagalog...

There are a lot of spanish words in both Visaya and Hiligaynon but most of these are proper nouns... like puerta (door).....

Philippines is difficult but easy place... though all provinces speaks different languages, everyone can understand and speak english...
