Obviously, you do not know the meaning of the word quote. Note how I use the word here. I quote the definition of the word from a dictionary: to repeat the exact words that another person has said or written. You can never find I quote extelfer in my post. Period. It requires an authority to judge that another person is not a good authority. And you are not.

How can it be a compliment when the English of highly educated Filipinos like you leaves much to be desired? I note what extefler says about your English. In your posts, you are also not precise in what you say. The phrasing of some of your sentences and expressions is rather awkward. You say My degree is Business Management and that you teach Business English. Since you have a degree in Business Management (thats the way to say it), you should know how extensive the brain drain is from your country. Concerning the brain drain, you could read the other post of mine. You have no right to tell people what to do. I am giving a word of advice to Filipinos who are patriotic; they can ignore it if they like.

You say: Then again, I have come across ads that advertised jobs explicitly for FILIPPINOS; my suspicion is they hire FIlippinos in order to undercut the high costs of employing Westerners. You have a point, but why should they target Filipinos? Many of them are highly educated working not only in China, but also in other countries. Their country is suffering from a great brain drain, and patriotic Filipinos (like pinayinchina) should be encouraged to return and help their country.
