im arguing based on the actual point of your metaphor, if you can't relate to what i'm saying then that's your problem, and you mentioned this getting off topic so this is my last reply to this thread and good luck with your life too.

If they don't understand English, what makes me sure that they
understand Filipino?
coz they watch tv? :D, even illiterates understand filipino and that's a fact, they may have difficulty speaking in filipino but they can understand, how did i know this? i've been to the ilocos region, the visayas, mindanao.... based on my experience they can.
After all, they are Ilocano and Bisaya. If they don't choose to speak
English, then that's their problem. If the don't choose to speak
Tagalog, then that's their problem. Requiring Filipino to be the
language they use is not the answer.
And besides, you're arguing something that's off topic. It was a
metaphor, and if you choose the argue the metaphor instead of the
actual point of the metaphor, then good luck with you in life.
