The difference with India vs. Philippines is there may be able to read/write English but may not be able to hold a conversation in English.
In the PI, and its US influence, everyone can speak English; all signs, packaging etc are in English; TV programmes & movies from USA are not dubbed into Tagalog, but shown in English; schools teach in English; the courts, even lower courts, use English, and all commercial paperwork is in English.
Don’t forget more people speak English in Germany than Australia.

A known fact? Hmmm I would beg to differ, and if your getting your "known facts" from wikipedia then you would note that the Philippines falls in at #5...
But back to topic, how about that Jetstar eh? Sheesh who'd a thought...
