Quote: ...many countries in the world love Filipinos because aside from we are excellent in English we are very flexible... Unquote.

Jeffrey's correction: "...love Filipinos because aside from us being excellent in English, we are very flexible..."

How about
"love Filipinos because aside from being excellent in English, Filipinos are very flexible".
Even better, huh!
Using a objective pronoun (us) as a subject in a prepositional clause is cumbersome to say the least.
See, even native speakers aren't perfect.
