Code-switching between languages is common practice in the Philippines. It's not just between Tagalog and English, but also with Hokkien, or with the many, many indigenous languages on the islands.

As Chris the half-Japanese barista at Starbucks has said, "God doesn't just save Tagalog!" One cannot underrate Tagalog's link to the Hispanic world.
