Louis,

I am a Filipina. I am just a reader of this site but it behooved me to respond to your post. You replied with haughty disdain to one of the posters here and
stated bluntly that you have seen voracious complaints received on unsuspecting management for offering a Phillipino as a native speaker.
Really? can you provide me the name of the school/s
and the location/s?

Are you a native? if so, i wouldn't be hiring you as
a teacher in my school if i have one, why? you lack
comprehension my boy. You've gone beyond the main topic for the discussion which is "whether non-native speakers are in anyway inferior to their native brethren".
As an answer to that, me/I as non-native, never, never felt inferior to native ones.
I know my capabilities.

And to Leonardo (the poster whom you agreed with) who
wrote "what i recommend to non-native speakers interested in teaching is to seek opportunities to
teach your own native language".
Whoaaaa.......what a brickbat.
Come on guys, English is a language. NOBODY OWNS IT.
Anyone can learn, use, and teach it.

You are REAL teachers in the true essence of the word? i don't think so.

You indeed made my day!
