The Philippines is tops in education

brader, way blema na imong point. tinuod naay "tops" na word PERO sa imong link categorized ni as "slang" ni sya
sa mga news headlines, correct me if I'm wrong pero is it proper to use words that are "slang"? murag dili dapat kay maka mislead sa reader..

OT: The word has old roots in slang like many other words in the dictionary, but that doesn't mean it isn't or can't be used widely by any publication. I concede that uncommon siya, at least as far as local use goes, but that doesn't make it wrong either.

OT: Ummm, no. Tops is used as an adjective here.

tops - definition of tops by The Free Dictionary

First-rate; excellent: Her new novel is tops.

Tops | Define Tops at Dictionary.com

ranked among the highest, as in ability, performance, comprehensiveness, or quality: His work is tops. That car is tops.

Really people. If manaway mog grammar, sigoro-a na sakto mo.

kung di ka mogamit ug "is" , ana na sya , "The Philippines tops in education"..

kung mogamit kag "is" , "The Philippines is top in education".. (mawala na ang "s" sa "top"..)

Misleading

Thread title is misleading yet grammatically correct.

ambot ngano lalison pa man na "The Philippines is tops in education" mao man na ang title gi print sa manila bulletin
The Philippines is tops in education | Manila Bulletin | Latest Breaking News | News Philippines

reading the article, surely the author was trying to emphasize "TOP EDUCATION" meaning higher education as in collegiate or post secondary education by mere mention of CHED; and not the overall quality of education we had.

It just happen people rather want to concentrate on the title not the contents lol. Naa bya poster here who doesnt like long reading. clue: start with "T" iya name

read carefully.. i said "in terms of english speaking population" its the same as saying "the number of people knows to speak english", you are just confuse of the word "population" thinking the whole country population, when i specifically said "english speaking population".

It's a music to the ears that we're on 3rd place in "the number of people knows to speak english" but I will not believe in that survey. Most of us are not really good in conversing or speaking in English. That's a fact. The number of call center agents will not equate nor surpass other countries who are native English speakers. That's why the thread title misleads.

how can you assume that 50% of Pinoy knows english ? eh most if not many of our books, signs, music, references, website we visit etc is english and the fact that english is one of our official language. Im pretty sure 9 of 10 pinoy can understand what an american would ask them.

Most pinoys can understand but will not be able to speak/communicate in English better if not accurate. Unless they memorize the lines

you'll be surprised to know even american and british make spelling error and grammar error considering its the only language they know. geez. maybe ikaw na 1 of 10 pinoy who doesnt know english considering the way you post.

Well, writing is different from speaking. Besides, they don't mind the spelling or grammar since it is their main language unlike us where we are fan of spell-checkers, dictionaries and google.

Accepted fact naman na 3rd largest english speaking country ang Philippines i can hear that from CNN and BBC.

Ikaw ra man ang deteriorated ang utok, thinking that "largest english speaking population" automatically translate to english proficient population lain pud na ranking

The World <--link
The US, UK and Philippines are exempted on that ranking hehehe you can formulate your own stupid conclusion na deteriorated pud ang utok sa naghimo ana na ranking.
