What a Ride, Pinoy Pride!

Filipinos are known for being great English speakers, thanks to their history and widespread use of the language in schools and media. At RareJob, we believe that speaking English is a powerful tool because it connects you to a global community, unlocking opportunities in communication, education, and business worldwide!

 

Did you know that in 2023, Filipinos ranked 17th among the countries with the highest English proficiency? Coming in second in Asia, with an EPI of 92.58%, being bilingual gives Filipinos a considerable advantage in global business and communication.

 

Keep an Eye Out:

Whether born and raised locally or abroad, many Filipinos have been making waves in the entertainment industry (that you might not even have recognized yet!). With a rich pool of diverse talent, Filipino actors, singers, and creatives bring incredible versatility and skills to any project. The global influence of Filipino culture, primarily through music and social media, continues to captivate audiences worldwide. This rising visibility fosters a richer, more diverse cultural landscape in the global entertainment scene and inspires aspiring artists in the Philippines and worldwide.

 

For Pinoy artists who have exposure internationally, English proficiency undeniably helps them connect with fans worldwide through social media and interviews. This fluency makes them more versatile and allows them to shine globally while sharing their unique culture. Gradually, more and more Pinoys are being recognized all over the world!

 

Recently, KATSEYE’s proud Filipina, Sophia Laforteza took her band with her to perform in their Touchdown in Manila fan showcase on Wednesday, September 18, in Taguig City. Apart from Japan and South Korea, the Philippines was the second stop of KATSEYE’s Asia tour.

 

“I care for these girls so much. And so I feel like because of that — and knowing that they trust me and I feel a mutual respect and care from them — it makes the job of being a leader a lot easier and less stressful than I anticipated. So, the leader position does become a lot of easier because of them,” says Sophia, when asked about how it was like being the leader of the global all-girl pop group.

Aside from KATSEYE, be sure to keep an eye out as there’s no doubt we’ll continue to witness incredible contributions from Filipino creatives across the global entertainment industry!
