Why does Puerto Rico speak English?

All of the Puerto Ricans I have known speak both English and Spanish, but the English is spoken with varying degrees of fluency. Puerto Rico was a Spanish colony until the United States took it away in 1898, along with the Philippines and other possessions of the Spanish Empire. [The Philippines became independent from the US in 1946, but many Filipinos still speak English as well as Spanish.] As many Peurto Ricans work in the continental US, the speaking of English comes in handy.
