They Said Filipinos Don’t Speak ‘Real English’—Until a Harvard Professor Admitted the Truth

They Said Filipinos Don’t Speak ‘Real English’—Until a Harvard Professor Admitted the Truth In this heartfelt and eye-opening video, we explore a powerful journey of transformation—a story about language, identity, and respect. Dr. Daniel Whitford, a Harvard linguist, came to the Philippines expecting to “study” Filipino English. What he discovered instead was far more profound: a living, breathing linguistic culture shaped by resilience, history, and pride. Through his encounters with students, teachers, and everyday Filipinos, he slowly realized that Filipino English is not merely a second-class variation, but a rich, authentic form of expression rooted in the Filipino spirit. This video follows Daniel’s emotional arc—from surprise moments in jeepneys and classrooms, to a humble confession and a public admission that challenged long-held assumptions in academic circles. We meet Mara Delgado, a dedicated public school teacher whose students write and speak English with clarity and confidence. Their voices, their stories, and their identity force Daniel to rethink everything he believed about “real English.” If you’ve ever questioned what it means to own a language, or wondered how English lives and evolves outside the “native speaker” narrative, this story is for you.
