NO. I myself speak English all the time but that doesn't mean I am less a Filipino. It is just to show people that we Filipinos can survive anywhere in the world since we speak good English. Knowledge in speaking good English is far different from being a nationalistic or patriotic.
But still, despite that I am not staying in our home country, I am 100% pure blooded Filipino. I am proud to be Pinoy! and pinoys are really keep coming back home

Not at all. Look at the history of the Philippines. They were an American colony for many years, and as such, the way that motivated individuals found success was through the use of the English language. If I am not mistaken, even Daniel Quezon spoke English, and he was the father of the independent Philippines. Marcos spoke English. Aquino speaks English. It is more a sign of education than of an unpatriotic attitude.
But, by all means, do not forsake your Tagalog. That is the soul of the Philippine culture. If you neglected to learn and use Tagalog, then you would have a legitimate concern.

No,it would make you an addition to the elite society of multi-linguals in the philippines.Quite an intellect so make use of it.
It just prove you have an active mind.I speak and write a couple of languages myself and I never feel less of a person.
Be proud you're a filipino...iba pa rin ang pinoy!

No, it makes you more intelligent or at least ask the question properly. "Does speaking English make one less a Filipino?" Still sounds unintelligent, though.

You are SOOOOO funny! Thereare some 900 or more, language groups in the PI, and, then Spain was the imperialist for 400 years!
Language is a gift, and enhances your knowledge! More is better!
I lived there, in the mid 1960's. I admire the people, the customs and the language.
I love the 9000+ islands! Great beaches, fantastic coral reefs!
Great foods, beautiful people! WOW! so, to talk about language is so base.

Not at all! When you speak another language all you are doing is speaking another language. You nationality stays the same.

I don't get you... In Philippines it is not the second language after Tagalo, ...so why should you be less filipino...!
Where did you get that idea?
