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.

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.
