Unlike Singapore and Malaysia where people are ethnically and culturally divided (*Chinese, Malay, Indian etc.), in the Philippines, Chinese are highly assimilated with the natives.The Spanish required the earliest Chinese migrants to hispanized their names and be converted to Catholicism that’s why it’s now difficult to tell which is Chinese. And they lived long enough here as much as the natives did. Even before the Spanish came and established the Philippines, they were already here. That’s why most of them don’t speak Chinese.

In Indonesia, Chinese school was banned for 32 years from 1965-1998, we should change our full name to more "Indonesian sounding" and usually we choose Sanskrit-Javanese or Arabic-Malay sounding one, some also adopted American English sounding personal name with Javanese-Sanskrit or Malay-Arabic sounding surname. And the result most Chinese in Indonesia can't speak any form of Chinese especially in Java Island. Some Chinese in significant Chinese population like Medan in North Sumatra and Singkawang in West Borneo still can speak Hokkien or Hakka dialects, but the number of speakers are decreasing year to year. But, unlike Chinoy, we Indonesians of Chinese descents aren't really assimilated with majority Indonesian muslims. Our elders mostly still practicing 三教 or called Tridharma in Sanskrit Indonesian word, the syncretism between Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism, but the younger generation mostly converted to Christianity (both Catholic and Protestant). Of course there are also Indonesians of Chinese descents who embrace Islam, but still Islam isn't common religion for Chinese descent in Indonesia. May be because Islam is associated with religion of President Soeharto who persecuted Chinese descents here, so Islam can't really attract Chinese descents in Indonesia.

I have family friends that are cantonese/ taishanese and all of them especially the older ones can speak hokkien. With that being said, mandarin was an extreme minority if not nonexistent during the 20th century among the local community and only recently has it gained in numbers in the philippines due to fairly recent immigrants. Mandarin is not native to the chinoy community but it was however, enforced in chinese schools throughout the philippines and you know whats the result of all this? yes, what ended up happening is that most chinoys only speak english and filipino languages nowadays.

Most Fil-Chis or Chinoys speak Hokkien although Mandarin is taught in Chinese schools here in the Philippines

Idk about other FilChi pero Hokkien kadalasan ko naririnig dito satin, yun din gamit ng mga kamag anak ko 🤣

I'm pure Filipino but i speak mandarin and hokkien but I'm learning cantonese....

Same case like Chinese in Indonesia, they couldn't speak mandarin mostly

Actually, chinese school in the philippines is expensive and not all chinese filipino family can afford it. The normal schools also dont include chinese in their curriculum. But we can understand fokkien/hokkien :)

Before, Filipino-Chinese here in Zamboanga Peninsula especially in the town of Malangas speaks Chavacano not Hokkien or Mandarin. But now they speak in Cebuano.

They should be speaking their native tongues, the Hokkien language more than Mandarin which is from the north.

I can only speak Hokkien but not proficient in Mandarin.

Why most of the filipino chinese here in our country speaks Hokkien?. My chinese friends doesnt speak mandarin but fluently in hokkien.

because most filchi have hokkien ancestors coming usually from Southern Fujian province, specifically usually the cities of Quanzhou, Xiamen, and sometimes Zhangzhou. only rare minority of minority are Cantonese or Taishanese that have ancestors who spoke Cantonese or Taishanese. And then, .... that's it. There are no historical chinese migrants from Mandarin speaking areas of china. Mandarin is just a 20th century to 21st century recent entry into the Philippines. it's entirely foreign, whereas Hokkien spans centuries of history in the Philippines, since hokkien chinese traders were the historical merchant traders that facilitated trade during Spanish colonial times from Manila to Quanzhou(Chinchew) or Zhangzhou(Changchew) or Guangzhou(Canton) or Macau. Hokkien chinese filipinos are historical centuries-old migrants of PH. Even Jose Rizal and many national heroes, old families and politicians and business tycoons all have some Hokkien ancestry.

Divorce done abroad is accepted if it is the foreign husband/wife who initiated it. If it is the Filipina who initiated the divorce abroad then it won't be recognized by the government. Yes it is sexist since guys doesn't have that kind of problem. Annulment is the way to go but it is very expensive. Common reason I've seen for annulment is psychological incapacity. FYI: The current President is still married to his 1st wife by law. BTW Filipino can divorce their spouse once they naturalized in another country. That's the only way to go if annulment is not an option.

divorce is not existing, but we have the same method Annulment, Divorce is the legal dissolution of a marriage by a court or other competent body. Annulment is a legal procedure that cancels a marriage. An annulled marriage is erased from a legal perspective, and it declares that the marriage never technically existed and was never valid.

Most of the Filipino Chinese here can only speak Hokien and Cantonese dialect as most of their families originated from southeastern china. But chinese schools here have started to teach mandarin and mandarin would be probably use on business dealings from the present mainlanders.

The ancestors of my dad side are chinese but throughout the generations, they dont use or teach their children hokkien since they are all studied in catholic school not chinese school here in bicol. That is why now, our chinese roots is so far from us and we are much closer to filipino culture and traditions..

The Chinese dispora happened mostly during the end Qing Dynasty (may during din) and the chinese civil war (democratic Kuomintang vs communist CCP). Back then, they're free to use their native dialects to communicate. Kaya most Fujian migrants speaks Hokkien, their dialect. And they settled mostly in Southeast Asia like Philippines, Malaysia, SG, Indonesia etc. Even so, during Kuomintang government, (present day Taiwan Government) they already implemented standardizing the chinese language which was Mandarin, a Beijing (North) based dialect. However, came communist China, this was strictly enforced. Kaya now, most mainland chinese knows only Mandarin. Some of them especially the younger ones, don't know how to speak their native dialects already. That explains why yung mga descendant ng cginese migrants are still speaking their chinese dialect like hokkien, cantonese etc. but their young counterparts in China already speaks Mandarin, and they barely know their local dialects.

Hokkien is the most commonly used language by filipino chinese nowadays though sa ibang school yata di na nagagamit yang hokkien madalas sa bahay sya naggamit...
