Everyone says that the Philippines is a multicultural and multiethnic country just because it has been and continues to intermarry with others both at home and abroad.
If you fit in this description, what kind of dialect or language do you speak at home?
What other languages are you fluent at?

I was just wondering if one can speak Illongo and are able to speak Ilocano would that be counted as two languages or dialect? Both are totally different but similar in some ways at the same time. Just wondering

They're actually different languages. Filipino just call them dialects for some reason. They're not mutually intelligible so that makes them different languages.

I speak four languages.
English - but I hate punyetang conyo accent. conyo talaga.

Filipino/tagalog

Negrense/Cebuano - halos lahat ng tao sa bahay galing negros oriental kaya di maiiwasan. hehehe
Fookien - product of 14 worthless years of chinese education.
not so good in the ff:
Mandarin -konting konti lang pero pwede naman kahit papano.
French - intermediate level na daw ako pero para akong retarded magsalita.
Bahasa Indonesia - very easy to learn.

Probably the language of the Philippines by 2500 would be mixed with English, Tagalog, and Mandarin Chinese, and probably some Japanese in there too.
You'd be surprised that in 3000 AD some scientists predict that there would be only one language across the planet, as well as one moche-colored race. And that the single uniform future language would be Tagalog sounding to many present day speakers, mainly it's because of the mixing of the languages.

You should work on that! If you can already understand spoken Tagalog, you should pick it up pretty quickly, maybe within a few days or weeks. The only difficult part is decoding internet Tagalog.
