English came to the Philippines in force in 1898 with the arrival of the Americans, who had been ceded the territory after Spain's loss in the Spanish-American War. English gradually replaced Spanish as the language of administration and education, although Spanish is still important, if not spoken by a large number of native speakers (but then, neither is English). The decline of Spanish and the rise of English was marked after the end of World War II, especially as a lingua franca understood by many Filipinos.
