Languages spoken by presidents of the Philippines information


Gloria Macapagal Arroyo is the most multilingual president of the Philippines, being able to speak ten languages.

Of the seventeen presidents of the Philippines, a number have shown proficiency in languages other than English and Tagalog (which would later become the basis of the national language, Filipino).

Of these, only one, Emilio Aguinaldo, was not proficient in English during his tenure, although he, along with a number of other presidents, was proficient in Spanish, a former colonial language of the Philippines. Some presidents, meanwhile, have also exhibited proficiency in other Philippine languages, such as Cebuano, Kapampangan and Ilocano, as well as other foreign languages.
