the interviewer is making an effort to speak purer tagalog while avoiding some spanish loanwords though she still adds in a bit so she is speaking filipino but the one being interviewed also dips into english so the interviewer eventually does too. normally, filipinos at least around metro manila will speak filipino(tagalog) which usually has frequent mixture of old colonial spanish loanwords in most every sentence and ever since american colonial times, filipinos also love to frequently codeswitch with english sentences and terms while speaking in filipino/tagalog. we basically colloquially call this combination of filipino(tagalog) and english as "taglish". Taglish is very common and is the normal casual informal language in many parts of the country especially at the capital in metro manila. also, it seems the one being interviewed is not used to speaking english all the time so he makes some mistakes in his english. this usually is just a sign that reveals his cultural upbringing or socioeconomic background since usually the upper middle to upper class are very proficient and natural at english while the more populous lower middle class masses usually prefer filipino(tagalog) or other local languages more while keeping english as a close second language since it is required in most areas of philippine society. this telling background makes sense for him since he is someone who is campaigning to help the lower classes which he probably more identifies with

@eundongpark1672 most philippine languages have borrowed a lot of Spanish words centuries ago. if ur sure its an asian language and it sounds like it has a lot of spanish words (and ur not mistaking these to be portuguese), its most likely a language from the philippines which is more commonly filipino (tagalog), or sometimes bisaya (cebuano), or many other major regional philippine language

@eundongpark1672 filipinos also love to codeswitch and mix in english while speaking local languages so u might also hear english mixed in when u overhear filipinos so if its tagalog mixed with english, we call it as "taglish" so to someone who is not normally familiar with taglish, it may sound like you're hearing an asian language with spanish and english phrases and expressions being mixed in

@brynhard filipinos like to speak English any time instinctively when they want to speak formally/professionally, since it is the formal prestige language, but since he is being interviewed in Filipino and the topic is about helping the poor lower classes, they speak mainly in Filipino(Tagalog) but he adds in English phrases because he is also the owner of his small company that he talks about so he tries to speak professionally.

@mrsush1j1ma27 bahasa?? no way most tagalog words are native tagalog words. saying that its basically a mixture of bahasa indonesian and malaysian is like saying german is a mixture of swedish and danish... what so few malay words that were adopted long ago are so few...

@eundongpark1672 also in the video, the interviewer is making an effort to speak mostly tagalog without the spanish loanwords which is why it sounds like theres only few spanish words but in normal life, almost every sentence always has a spanish loanword when u overhear filipinos speak

@brynhard the native and the old spanish words are all Filipino(Tagalog), except the English words being used. Filipino is modern standardized Tagalog of the capital. Filipino is also the casual informal language of the common people, while English is our formal professional prestige language in government, commerce, and academe. In modern times, we mostly just casually mix together English in our Filipino(Tagalog), which we informally call as "Taglish", but the English terms are not part of the Filipino dictionary ...yet. lol With regard to the difference of "Tagalog" and "Filipino", there is not much difference. when we refer to the language called, "Filipino", it usually just refers to Tagalog, specifically based on the Modern Tagalog dialect of Metro Manila (the capital) that has many colonial era Spanish loanwords that are now spelled in Filipino orthography since they were borrowed centuries ago when Spanish was the formal prestige language although there are purer older tagalog terms used before, though sometimes they are too long or long forgotten or just old or not accurate enough to describe a modern concept that colonial era spanish or modern english already has a simple word for which is why we use those loanwords or codeswitch to english these days. The concept of calling Modern Tagalog as Filipino is like how other countries for example, we say "Chinese" or "Modern Standard Chinese" which in reality usually just refers to Mandarin of Northern China, especially the Beijing dialect, when we say "Italian", we usually refer to the Standard Italian, which is in reality based on Florentine Tuscan (the Tuscan dialect of Florence in the Tuscany region of Italy), or when we say "Spanish", we actually refer to the Standard Spanish that is based on Castillian of Castille in Spain, when we say "German", we're referring to the Standard High German, which is based on Thuringian/East Franconian (East Central German dialects of Thuringia/East Franconia in German state of Saxony), or when we say French, we refer to the Standard French, based on the Parisian French dialect used in Paris (the French capital), or even with British English that is based on the Midlands English dialect of England. Even American English is mostly based on the English that was used around the American East Coast in the New England area before it became widespread as the defacto standard across the country there.

@mrsush1j1ma27 among the few japanese loanwords, usually the ones i only hear used frequent enough are dyak en poy, kaban, katol, dahan dahan, tansan. kampay these days is substituted for english cheers or the native term "tagay" but tagay used to only mean to down a small shot glass though beer advertisements these days are slowly advertising to use tagay instead of kampay or cheers. some people dont know though that kampay is also now an official filipino word from japanese kanpai. some even mistake it to come from chinese hokkien but the comparable word kanpoe is pronounced differently

@armed sword the spanish and english loanwords are the most recent ones but many centuries ago, there were also some few hokkien chinese loanwords and very few select japanese terms, and also many very very old indianized terms from sanskrit through old mixed hindu-buddhist beliefs syncretized with old native animist beliefs borrowed from indonesia who borrowed it from india
