I could understand if it was an American site, but there is a Yahoo! Philippines Answers page. Anyone else a bit confused why Tagalog can't be used here?

I posted a question in Tagalog on the Yahoo! Answers Philippines page, because I have learned a bit and wanted to to practice it, but it was quickly removed.

Yes, it is pretty stupid by Yahoo. Why having the Philippine site... if it is all in English? Most (if not all) from there use the plain English site. And, as the questions in the Philippine site appear also in the rest of English versions, many hurry to sensor if they don't understand (as... in the know "Oh, God!! they are badtalking me again!").
The same thing goes for the Malay site.

Tagalog isn't spoken in each province in the Philippines , There are 2 important languages spoken and quite some dont understand the two . English is the language that one and all government varieties are revealed in . i might recommend that somebody initiate an internet site including this in Tagalog .

This is new to me... So how come there are some who are talking in Spanish? Where does it say that you cannot use any other languages?
