In the Philippines a lot of people are underprivileged to have a good education or have no education at all but can still speak and understand basic english. Even those who leave in the rural areas can communicate themselves to foreigners. Singaporeans are well taught in english because they have good education system. But the English ranking in this video is not based on profiency only but also on pronunciation and accent as well. And if people from other countries can understand your english well. A lot of foreigners are getting their English education in the Philippines because english accent in the Philippines is very comprehensible.

During my time in the Philippines, I was fortunate to have studied from Elementary to HS in a Catholic University. The English subjects taught to us consisted of Grammar, Spelling and Phonics. We were very fluent in both written and spoken English because we would be fined five cents or ten cents if we were caught speaking the Tagalog (Pilipino) language or any dialect in campus. We can only speak Pilipino in that class and likewise in high school, Spanish only in class.

I am Malaysian, I am not embarrassed with my Malaysian accent; it's my identity. Languages is important to us as it is a tool for communication. In a diverse society it is important that we could understand each other, it is a key factor to our harmony and prosperity. Our courage to make this English language ours; prove that we no longer live under the shadow of our imperial master. We are clever enough to apply the Queen English when it's necessary. And the reason for that is because we have manners, not for showing off. In Malaysia, people will make time to understand you, because being kind is our personalities. So be you and do you. This is why Malaysia is truly Asia.

I'm Filipino and have never visited native English-speaking countries. I learned English in school and became proficient in written communication, but not in speaking. I improved my speaking skills when I had the chance to enroll in an English proficiency training session with call center basics. Filipino accents vary depending on the region, educational background, job, family English upbringing, and more. Some of us can easily mimic accents as needed, like call center agents who may sound almost American or British, depending on their accounts. Overall, I'd say we tend to have a neutral accent that is easy to understand by both British and Americans.

It was 31 years ago (1992) when I immigrated to Canada from the Philippines. On my 3rd day in my new home I got the chance to get an interview with an international company which lasted for 3 hours!
The most unforgettable part was when the Manager asked me towards the end of the interview, “Where did you learn to speak English so well?” To be honest I was quite flattered, but at the same time confused because it’s something very normal to me since I was a little girl. And also, so many people in the Philippines speak the way I do. I mean, I don’t think I am that special! Happy to note that I got the job, and I started the next day!

In this video, four of them(Malaysia, Singapore, India and Hong Kong) are former British colonies while the Philippines is the only country colonized by Uncle Sam who teaching English to Filipinos through Thomasites
Trivia:Before the Americans, in 1762 when the British invaded Manila, they tried to introduced English to Filipinos but little success because mostly are speaking Spanish and Tagalog and it was not a subject in Spanish education at the time
Jose Rizal was speaking English when he stayed in Singapore, Hong Kong, United States and Great Britain

In the Philippines were not aware about the accent but if you went to college, people expect your a good speaker.. Student criticise each other on how you pronounce words should sound like, the most criticise speaking English sound like are Visayan english or whatever your region is. its not about the English accent at all but the most important is they fix on how you pronounce words to understand same application of what foreign english speaking school are doing right now in Philippines..

To sum it up. The reason Philippines is on top, it is the most westernize country in Asia. And because of that, we excel in english comm and accent. We use english from gradeschool to college. As evident, we were the primary hub of contact centers. Our accent is neutral, we can mimic and easily adpt.

Here in the Philippines, the new generation of kids is rapidly becoming fluent in English, much like native speakers. This remarkable development is largely due to their exposure to YouTube videos.
