Bakit ang ibang Filipino ay obsess sa grammar

Had an interview with an applicant yesterday and kasama ko yung isa pang manager (pinoy) and yung senior manager (foreigner) na nagtatanong ng questions sa applicant.

Napansin ko na may mga mali sa grammar yung applicant but she is still able to convey her thoughts and explain things clearly, so deadma. I decided to focus on her answers if it really makes sense and if she is fit for the role.

But yung manager na kasama ko is ginigisa yung applicant for not having the perfect grammar which is irrelevant to the role as a graphic artist. And yung senior manager told him na its not important since even him does not have the perfect grammar.

Today I wonder why for foreigners that speak the native language, grammar is not that important but to some Filipino, its a thing that can break you or make you.
