Guam exec’s remarks- Filipinos’ “English is not good enough" Video posted in YouTube

Assistant Attorney General Benjamin Abrams commented that Filipinos’ “English is not good enough" and is now the subject of an ethics complaint that the Philippine Consulate General in Guam is preparing to file with the Guam Bar Association.

According to the report the undated video clip, posted on Youtube was e-mailed to the media and local senators by a doctor, who has left Guam.

Abrams reportedly objected at the board meeting, to the transcription outsourcing in the Philippines, saying, “We’re dealing with a transcriber who may or may not know anything about legal proceedings and certainly can’t pick up the phone… to get clarification as to what they might have said.”


“I don’t like the idea at all,” Abrams told the board. “Their English is not good enough. You’re dealing with a third world country where English is a second language and we’re dealing with tapes that are not crystal clear.”

How about you? What do you think of this comment? Is our English not good enough?

According to Yahoo Philippines, Philippine consul Bayani Mangibin met with Attorney General Lenny Rapadas and conveyed the consulate general's concern over the "racially-discriminating remarks."
