Did you say official? Seriously its commonly used for business because theres people outside the ph involves in it and they cant speak tagalog. For my 22 years of living in ph i cant remember that ive heard a word such "official" declared to english as pilipino language for business.
But you got a point for most businesses english knowledge is a must for higher carrier like a lawyer, a call center agent etc but not for a pilipino selling on street the balut and any other small businesses. They dont speak english
Amazing, there lots of things you foreigners don't know about the Philippines.
In 1987 after the Ferdinand Marcos era it was Amended to the Philippine Constitution.
Article XIV, Section 7 straight from the Philippine Gov site.
http://www.gov.ph/constitutions/the-1987-constitution-of-the-republic-of-the-philippines/the-1987-constitution-of-the-republic-of-the-philippines-article-xiv/Additionally it was also coded into law the first time in 1935 during the second revision of the Philippine Constitution.

1987 Constitution is subject to change through influence from local and foreign languages over time.
Ferdinand marcos is a lawyer and a great Philippines president who delivered his speech without a kodigo in english
If you go watch a news for ph current president aquino and the government said that they are trying to change that, and everytime he delivering speech he speak in tagalog because most of pilipino dont understand everything written in english from provinces that even good in tagalog.
In Philippines if
And the 1935 Constitution directed the national assymbly to develop a national language for Philippines from one of the existing native languages although until that otherwise provieded by law espanish and and english remains the official languages of the Philippines.
December 1937 president Manuel L Quezon issued executive order 134 which proclaimed tagalog shall be the basis of Philippines national language.
1943 Constitution espanish and english removed as the national language of the Philippines.
The 1973 constitution is to develop the national languange of the Philippines named by the batasang pambansa as "Filipino" until otherwise the official languange is english and pilipino or the tagalog but its not stated english alone and infact its more on the tagalog.
1987 replaced the pilipino as
