Abstract	Since the colonization of the Americans, Filipinos have been using English as their second language and have been accustomed to using the language alongside local languages. The centuries of the extensive contact between American English and Filipino language raises questions pertaining language change and language identity. This paper reports the analysis of 60 selected tweets from Twitter individually, with the purpose of highlighting the distinctive features of Philippine English. The tweets were examined for lexical and grammatical features, alongside with the following linguistic features: graphology, syntax, and lexical semantics. The Language Drift Theory was used as a basis to explain the process of Filipinization. In giving light to the discussions, descriptive quantitative-qualitative research was employed. Results revealed the prominent lexical, grammatical, and linguistic features through tables and textual analyses, illustrated from the most to the least dominant linguistic elements. Specified comparative analyses were made to characterize the features of Philippine English as a dialect of International English with graphology, syntax, and lexical semantics as bases for the discussion. The researcher also had a native speaker as a key informant to support the details and provide nativized English translations. (As Provided).
