In visayas we count in spanish from one and so on.

Chavacano is 97% Spanish. But no you will not be able to converse with Spanish speaker, just because you can speak the Creole. But to be fair only Chavacanos have a right to claim be like Latinos.

Eh...

Yah ur right

3vry_1 ciao His comment was on the pinoy pride bible, where fabricated fun facts are listed from A-Z.

I LOVE PLAYING ROBLOX, and I have a lot of spanish friends there, they said they are Chavacano and they can speak tagalog too I dont have idea that they are filipino too...

Tama ka diyan

you're right!..my great grandma surname is Chiu..now I'm married to a Tan!😂

information😇

@@pamelatan4417 then your daughter married to khan. Khan chiu Tan 😂😂

bikolano here🙋😅

Totoo po naalala kapag may prosisyon or aurora lahat ng kinakanta namin nakasulat sa Spanish😂😂

@@vanessa_love3234yes so true po may mga kanta sa prosisyon na mga spanish words

@@vanessa_love3234 kahit yung DOMINGGO spanish din yun. Sa tagalog kasi ang LINGGO ang gamit na word ng SUNDAY samin sa bikol LUNES, MARTES, MIYERKULES, HUWEBES, BIYERNES, SABADO, "DOMINGGO" kaya buong buong spanish

Yup, relate ako dito. Both parents are Bicolano, nagmi-mix sila ng Spanish words sa mga sinasabi nila. Kaya akala ko purong Bicolano lang sinasabi nila.

University of the Philippines still does. At least in the first year (2 semesters) of all students regardless of course. Spanish is part of the general curriculum. UP Diliman also offers Spanish language as a Bachelor of Arts major

@@kumiko7808 Oh nice. I didn't know that. I wish they still continued to teach Spanish in grade school and high school. I would have loved to learn it. I guess the schools didn't see a need for it anymore.

formerly the philippines were also part of the spanish empire like america, but the iunites states took control of the island and removed the language completely That is the reason why Spanish was almost eradicated from the country.

@@Merluso415 Yes, I am aware of that as I am a Filipino. But Spanish was still being taught in schools until I think the 80's? At least in the schools that were founded by the Spanish, like Colegio San Agustin which is where I studied. I remember seeing an office for Spanish studies when I was in elementary in CSA. Then, they just decided to just not include it in the curriculum because maybe they didn't see the need for it anymore.

Me too I've been waiting for it hope to see them soooon 💙

Up

Agree!

True

Correct. He got a better offer from Spain so he explored in the name of the Spanish king and Queen.

hello may i ask which school do u go to study spanish? i am planning to study spanish but don't have any idea where school.

yes....if you are bilingual you have better job opportunities...

hasta donde yo tengo entendido , casi no se habla español en filipinas

What!! Don't! Spanish is the language of Spain, it's not from the Philippines. There are more than 100 languages in the Philippines and yet, you want to make Spanish a national language? Are you stupid? We should be proud of Filipino and spread it more. Some Filipinos are having a hard time learning Filipino which is kinda embarrassing and then you want them to learn others language🥴 However, schools can teach Spanish. Just like what most schools in USA. But turning Spanish as one of of our language is a BIG NO!

Hi. National language and official language are two different things. You can't say third national language because we only have 1, and that is Filipino. Our official language are 2, English and Filipino. I think in your comment, you meant to say, the third official language because there can be only 1 national language.

@drsgd - Spanish and English have more in common between them all the way to spelling (Probable, vital, original, rumor, etc) when it comes to words shared between the two languages. The structures between Spanish and Tagalog (my primary language) are way different. Knowing the words does not mean learning Spanish is easy.

@@jinj.7889 drsgd is misinformed. English is an international language the reason we learned it.

I think Zamboangans can communicate with Spanish speaking people but I don’t think Spanish speakers can understand Chavacano

@@Jprager See you for yourself if they can understand each other or not kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z8x-htt43LDLc5s.html

that's true I'm from Zamboanga city

In Ternate, Cavite there are also Chavacano speaking people.

@@nathblanca6280 yeah I saw a documentary about it and sadly it is a dying language there.

That is a lie. Even Miriam Santiago did not learn Spanish from her college days. No one does. Unless you went to a non reputable university.

I don't agree that we could speak Spanish fluently after studying it in high school. I had high grades in Spanish in high school and UP but I still could not speak it fluently. It was just memorisation. To speak a language or dialect fluently we need practice, if we don't use it regularly we forget all the grammar and words we learned. We only retain words that have mixed with Tagalog but we cannot form complicated sentences and we can only understand words and simple sentences like Hola, Como esta? Que hora es? Etc. Como esta became kumusta in Tagalog.

That's what we had to memorize in high school.

Totally agree with you a 100%. Your comment is based on research, not hearsay

But there has place who speak Spanish

The people who were. speaking Spanish during that time, prior to 1987, were those who were speaking Spanish at home.

It was already irrelevant in the 70s when I studied it in high school and university. I did not see the point of studying it but we needed to pass it. I was a good student of Spanish, found it easy and got high grades but I still could not speak it fluently due to lack of practice. Easy to forget. I still know some words like days, months, time, simple sentences but that's all. Unless you want to major in it, teach it or go to Spain to live there or study, it's completely useless.

It is because our languages (indonesian and filipino languages) are Austronesian Language. That's why its similar, but we adopted a lot of spanish(castillan) and nahuatl(old mexican language) words. Examples of nahuatl words are NANAY or mother(came from the nahuatl word "Nana" and TATAY(father, came from the word "Tata".

Sakit naton di sini 😅😅😅

agree... being linguist is an advantage

Es curioso que los filipinos son muy católicos , lo cual es que los curas y frailes les enseñaban la religión de España, como es que no aprendían el español los filipinos más pobres y alejados y la religión católica si. O es que los sacerdotes les hablaban en sus lenguas.

@@anacasanova7350 some friars learned Filipino dialects but many or even most didn't. Some connected with natives through native tongue but many didn't and speak only in Spanish. There's a lot more Filipinos who can speak Spanish or Spanish based creole in 1800's but now due to varieties of reasons they didn't. One of the major reasons is that a major uprising came with a man preaching anti-Spanish sentiments including the hate on Spanish language itself. He was Jose Rizal who became our national hero. He preached that whoever do not loves his native tongue is worse than animals and putrid fish. Though he can speak Spanish and writes a lot of his works in Spanish he encourages Filipinos to prioritize our language and replace Spanish with our own language if ever we can kick the colonizers out of our territory. He publish bitter anti Spanish satirical novels (Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo) in Spanish beside Tagalog to offend authorities and encourage for massive Filipino uprising. Unfortunately, the last Spanish Governor General to the Philippines caught and executed him in 1896, 2 years before Spanish came. But his words Is so successful many elites involved in uprising vowed to not teach Spanish (indirectly labeled as oppressor's language) to next generations. In other words, Spanish language was gradually lost and replaced due to very successful hate propaganda by the rebelling elites near the end of Spanish occupation and many of those propagandas were directing to the Spanish language itself. I know many Filipinos may hate me for telling the truth, but our national hero Jose Rizal contributed a lot to make a huge decline on the use Spanish language. But I totally understand that he did it to preserve our existing languages in an attempt to recover what we lost before the colonizers came. And we should be proud that we are the only former Hispanic country to reinstate our own language back.

Yeah thats another 500 million people to be able to speak to I really wanted to know another languange ontop of the others and learning young makes it easier

absolutely...

Spanish is a totally different structure from English. The hardship of Spanish is not in the the syllable or spelling. For example in English am, is, are , was and were; that's all you have to remember. That's not so in Spanish, here are the equivalence depending on usage: era, éramos, eran, eras, eres, es, está, estaba, estabais, estábamos, estaban, estabas, estáis, están, estás, estoy, estuve, estuvieron, estuvimos, estuviste, estuvisteis, fue, fueron, fui, fuimos, fuiste, fuisteis, sois, somos, son, soy. Then there's the subjunctive present and the subjunctive past, six conjugations per tense

Exactly! Irrelevant in daily life

True im from bicol too

I did take Spanish but I did not become a Spanish speaker, just like my classmates

Conozco a varias personas, incluidos amigos, que tienen tu apellido. Salu2

Soy de Ecuador

in this time mexico or peru was Spain

Go to Zamboanga City 😂, u will learn some Spanish there

Ken is from CDO not from Zamboanga

Those who spoke Spanish during that time were already speakers of Spanish at home.

We had 4 sems of Spanish in UP Diliman in the 70s, not just 2.

Not many Filipino families spoke Spanish in the 70s. Only those with Spanish relatives.

Only in some schools, in my college there's no Spanish lessons

@@NoVisionGuy is that so? You're lucky because you do not have Spanish lesson in this K-12 era🥲

Spanish sold us in the USA. before america come to us we almost defeated spanish. when america come to Philippines they help us but they also have a negotiation with Spanish that they going have a fake battle for exchange of 20million dollars. Spaniards don't accept the defeat to us Filipinos but they did in white.

Not many people understand that, they think that because you sat down in class you would be fluent in it in one year. It was a requirement during my time but those who did speak Spanish were already speaking it at home and they learned the language before they could speak

But still not Spanish, just Spanish-based

We have 3 actually haha

Except Spanish.
