The reason why Filipinos' literacy is high may be because of the influence of world power nations like Spain, Great Britain, and United States of America which had subjugated the Philippines for several or even hundreds of years. These nations deliberately taught and brought to the Filipino their academic excellence in all aspects such as religions, science, arts, literature and even cultures.

Their contribution to the literacy of the Filipino people is the main factor why the Philippines today has become the 3rd speaking English in the entire world in which even the children who use their vernacular languages everyday can also speak and understand English in a normal conversation.

Are the Filipinos illiterate?

In all countries, there are always illiterate people but you can not use that as a base for stating that all of them are illiterate. The Philippines has a literacy rate of 93.4%. It is rather high for a third world country, considering the fact that there inadequate funds for education from the government. And the Philippines is ranked 15 in Asia and 80 in the world.
