It took our team in the Philippines over 5 hours to get 10 people for this street interview. And out of those 10 people, 4 were in favor of legalizing divorce, and 6 were against it. We go through all these efforts because our vision is to give ordinary people a voice, to connect people's opinions and to encourage critical thinking. We understand that this is not enough of a sample size and want to hear from more people on this issue. So, why don't you share your opinions with the world - just make a video of yourself and upload it to YouTube with the title, "Filipino Divorce Law #AsianBossOpinions.” You don’t need to be Asian or live in Asia. We will feature the best responses in one of our future videos.

THE GUY WHO SAID THAT HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO FLIRT.

RELATABLE

[burrburritscold]

Thing is, many people want a wedding, not a marriage.

[ponyos]

When you're fluent and can understand, but you still read the subtitles.

[ellep.]

I love how even when they're speaking English there's still English subtitles that don't even show what they're actually saying

[janicepimentel]

I guess we should be more aware of the difference between 'flirt' and "courtship" Careful with your translation. It will change the opinion of the speaker to the Native who might be watching it.

Seeing people being confused about the fact that they switch between Tagalog, English, and Spanish strangely amuses me

edit: y'all... im literally filipino i know💀

[masser]

That Bi-Lingual dialogue though!! always blows my mind how they switch between 2 languages mid sentence!

[doyoulikemessi]

People really act like everyone's gonna have divorce once the law is passed

[mnbr]

I'm surprised at so many people's discomfort at the interviewees swtiching languages. This is common in multilingual countries.

[boxinc]

Taglish 101: get the rootword in english and make tenses using tagalog.

Enjoying = nag-eenjoy
Will try = ita-try
Encouraged = naencourage

Hahaha

[paulienebelo]

When people are more interested in our language rather than the issue 😂

[jungkookingpenqueenminari]

I can just imagine how Philippine Language sounds really strange to Western countries. It’s actually more difficult for us to communicate with only our own language.

[ashtlershin]

Everytime i watch Filipino interviews in asian boss, when i go to the comments, all of the comments talking about how Filipino switch languages 😂😅

[beekah]

Their language skills are off the charts, they swap through the different ones so naturally.

[miyo._.]

I like how non Filipinos are so interested in our Filipino language, I don’t even notice the switch of language probably because I’m use to it😅

[karlint]

As an English speaker who doesn't understand any Filipino languages, it's really mind-blowing to listen. It seems like at random every 4-5 words the speakers switch to English and then to a different language and then back again. All languages have loan words, but it almost feels like the language the interviewees are speaking has "loan sentences." I've listened to people speak many different languages, but this is a first for me.

[Libra_Strings]

I speak Spanish. Listening to them speak sounds like a radio that keeps going in and out. I understand every other word lol

[Itzmie]

Filipinos can literally learn any language at this rate.😂😂 Just like here in Japan, Japanese people are very surprised at how Filipinos can learn Japanese quickly.

[taniesaz]

98% is about the language
2% is about the interview
