Yes of course ! usually we Filipinos prefer to know English rather than to speak the language. It is because their are some Filipinos who can't speak or pronounce well or even who pronounces well are criticized and made fun of maybe because they can't be as good as those who speak well or they think they're better than them. But for me the main reason is that they think they're o.a (over acting) or their English is way exaggerated and is not good to hear
P.S I'm a pure Filipino particularly a Cebuana . I'm glad there are some others trying to study our language as well
