This book provides an outstanding overview and analysis of the role of English in the Philippines, the factors that led to its spread and retention, and the characteristics of Philippine English today. It will provide an invaluable resource for researchers, students, teachers and other readers interested in learning how English established itself as a major language of communication and identity in the Philippines, and the consequences of its unique status in Philippine society. -- Jack C.
