After many years, I finally made it down to ZAMBOANGA, a lovely town in the very South Western corner of the Philippines!
Believe it or not, they speak SPANISH here! Well, it's not 100% Spanish, it's called Chabacano which is more of a Creole (mixed) dialect that developed when the Spaniards settled here almost 500 years ago.
Not surprisingly, Zamboanga is dubbed "Asia's Latin Town" for its strong roots in Spanish culture that can be seen not only in the language but also in the cuisine and lifestyle.
I've had a GREAT time here so far and I hope this video opens your eyes to a lesser-known part of the Philippines -- my favorite country in the world.

Its not really “Latin” town. The correct term is actually “Hispanic” town. Philippines dont have Latin ancestry/culture. They have Hispanic ancestry and culture because its from Hispania (Spain).

I'm Filipino and I wish I was born there instead of Manila so that I can speak fluent Spanish. I'm studying Spanish now and its quite difficult.

I am a Zamboangeña, and fan fact: every 10 years the Spanish monarch visits zamboanga, the last they visited was in 2011 or 2012 I guess, I saw queen Sofia (which is quite a story of how I end up being in front of the Queen) and most Chavacano speakers here are mostly Christians, zamboanga is quite diverse actually since half of us are Catholics, and muslims who co exist peacefully.
