Negative effects
English leads to Language Extinction.

One of the most unfortunate things that can happen is people

abandoning their native language (Filipino). Non-native speakers
who have consistently used English in their every day lives may
find that there isn’t any opportunity or practical use to speak,
write, read, or listen using their native language anymore.

colonial mentality. Language sensitivity is one characteristic
that contributes to feeling inferior in one's own skin.

English-speaking Filipinos still get discriminate by several

filipinos.

People tend to focus more on English grammar or subjects than

our own language.
