Not every Filipino is able to speak English, they may be able to understand some English but only speak it minimally. Being able to speak English well depends on location and level of education. Filipinos living in towns and provinces with modern technologies and businesses will be more likely to understand and speak English than the ones living in remote villages and farms. I would expect that Filipinos with college education should be fluent in English. My information may not be accurate since I have been away from the Philippines for so long. I'm not familiar with the current Curriculum of the Philippine School System. When I went to school there, textbooks were written in English but I don't know if this is still the case.
