Why do some Filipinos talk loudly when they speak?

Answer 1

You might have encountered mostly those immigrants or Filipino workers who come from less developed regions of the Philippines. Most of them have less education or none at all. Most of them are brought up in their families wherein it's ok to speak loudly among themselves (with a bit of excitement and boisterous banters) which makes it seems fine for everyone since the environment they come from allows it. But not all speak loud like loose cannons.

Only a few, mostly some middle class and elites from the Philippines, rather speak softly (some prefer in English, a classier language to most of them). Alas, those in the middle class and Filipino elites are outnumbered and out represented by the vast Filipinos you encounter everyday who speak loudly like they're always using megaphones.

So... not ALL Filipinos speak loudly. But true... MOST of them.

Oh, yes, I'm a Filipino by the way and no, I don't speak loudly like the others.

Answer 2

Some Filipinos talk loudly when they speak due to cultural influences, such as a desire to express emotions and engage in energetic conversations. In some Filipino communities, speaking loudly is seen as a sign of enthusiasm and passion in communication. Additionally, factors like crowded and noisy environments may contribute to speaking loudly to be heard and understood.
