I remember when I was working overseas as a cashier (in a Forex/Currency exchange company), I had some customers who were from the Latin America, and instead of counting the bank notes in English, I counted them in Spanish! Their reactions were epic! 🙂
i mean our ancestors say "ilagay mo sa uno" like ackk🤧

In visayas we count in spanish from one and so on.
I'm a Filipino who live in Zamboanga City, and our local language usually contain 85% Spanish. If we're to speak with people who speak Spanish, we would probably understand them. Our local language is called "Chavacano" it's the only Spanish-based creole in Asia also known as "Asia's only Latin City."
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...
"Uy" and "Ang" are Chinese surnames tho since Chinese people were one of the first settlers in the Philippines (they mostly did trade and business). Tan, Lim and Sy are also one of the most common Chinese surnames of Filipinos, especially those Filipino-Chinese.
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 😂😂
All of my grandmothers, grandfathers, aunts, uncles, and even my mom can speak Spanish fluently. This is because Spanish used to be taught in the top schools here. Unfortunately, the schools stopped teaching Spanish so when it was my turn to study, I didn't experience learning the Spanish language. I used to feel like out of place because my relatives would speak in Spanish.😅 I could understand a little though.
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.
@@kathleenasuncion1792 intersting
My late grandmothers from Bicol never taught us Spanish, (they were mestizas). They thought it was no longer practical to learn Spanish. So they kept the language among themselves, but taught us many Spanish religious songs and prayers, so much so that my aunties are the main singers of hymns during Holy Week processions. Many towns in Bicol still sung devotional hymns in Spanish.
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.
Correction Magellan he's not a Spanish national navigator he's a Portuguese rather who sent by the king of Spain king Philip the 2nd
True
Correct. He got a better offer from Spain so he explored in the name of the Spanish king and Queen.
Trifate..been waiting to your SB19 Love yours reaction and the Round Festival performance !! You're one of their genuine reactors..hope to see them soon😊
Me too I've been waiting for it hope to see them soooon 💙
Up
Agree!
I still wish with the 1987 Philippine Constitution they could have placed Spanish as a third national language making Filipino TRILINGUAL or more / MULTILINGUAL having 4 language naturally.
I'm saying this as Spanish can be easily learned by Filipino as it's already familiar to us and many Filipinos are going to Spain to work or etc.
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.
👋😊🇵🇭 Buenas noches desde aqui na Ciudad de Zamboanga na Filipinas!
(Literal Translation: Good evening from here in City of Zamboanga in Philippines!)
(Conceptual Translation: Good evening from Zamboanga City in the Philippines!)
[The greeting above is a greeting and an example in Chavacano or Chabacano language, language variants, language varieties or collective language, which is a and the only Spanish or Spanish-based creole language in the Philippines and in Asia. It is specifically in the dialect, variant or variety of Chavacano de Zamboanga or Zamboangueño Chavacano which is spoken and used in Zamboanga City and in its neighboring, nearby, surrounding and/or adjacent areas, locations and places in Western Mindanao area or the southwestern Philippines especially in Isabela City and Lamitan City in the province of Basilan. It is one of the regional and auxiliary official languages of the Philippines among the other regional languages of the Philippines. There are also other dialects, variants or varieties of this language in the other parts of the Philippines such as in Cotabato City, Davao City, Cavite City and in Ternate, Cavite.]
hasta donde yo tengo entendido , casi no se habla español en filipinas
Spanish language remained only in Zamboanga creating a (Spanish Creole language) spoken by 1million people.
Zamboanga City (Ciudad de Zamboanga) is the only Hispanic city in the Philippines. Arriving on its Airport "Bienvenidos a Zamboanga" will immediately greet you, names of local government offices is written in Spanish like "Oficina de Salud"(health office), police cars also named (Policía) etc. Thinking that you're in a Latin American country.
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
ua-cam.com/video/1fNSxGwJgCg/v-deo.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.
My paternal and maternal grandparents are fluent in Spanish, my dad also... but all I know is "Mi Ultimo Adios" 🤣
That's what we had to memorize in high school.
Spanish was taught in college during my time. It's quite difficult to memorize the 23 stanza of Jose Rizal Mi Ultimo Adios. But, we also speak Spanish because my great grandfather came from Spain. But nowadays, very little number of Filipinos speak Spanish language.
I am a Filipino and I just recently enrolled into a Spanish language class. My reason is related to job opportunities. Many foreign companies are looking for people who are good in English and spanish/chinese language plus highly competitive customer service behavior. According to them, Philippines has this qualities they are looking for.
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...
Magellan was the first Portuguese who came in the Philippines. However, Magellan named the Philippines - Archipelago de San Lazaro. It was Villalobos who named the Philippines as Las Islas Filipinas. In the 1800 most Mestizos (rich kid) spoke spanish and went mostly in Madrid to study. The famous novel of. Dr. Jose Rizal was written in Spanish. Most of the Filipino words came from Spanish, however they just have different spelling but have same sound.
That interesting because a lot of tagalog words sound the same in Indonesia.
Like Pinto = pintu (door)
Anak = Anak (child)
And more
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 😅😅😅
when i was in college i have a spanish subject . . . and i am also a mestizo my grandfather is spanish and my mother is a half chinese . . . now i only know some few words in spanish . . .
"What if we speak Spanish?" actually we were already adapted by the language, it just that a lot of colonizers came to the Philippines that is why Spanish isn't just the only tongue we're using today. I am contented to what happened in the country inspite of all the language influences.
But there has place who speak Spanish
(1) fernando de magallanes travelled to the philippines looking for the spice islands, but he wasn't the one who unified us or named the archipelago after philip ii. (2) most of us natives didn't get spanish (or in fact ANY last or family names) until the 19th century, more than 200 years after the conquest. (3) besides spaniards not settling on our shores in droves unlike in latin america, our country wasn't colonized by soldiers as much as the missionary friars, and these friars studied our languages, printed grammar guides and catechism, and translated prayers from latin into the local language of whichever area they'd been assigned to. philip ii had ordered the colonizers to teach spanish to the natives, but bless them, they had perceived it was easier to get our trust and convert us if they learned our language instead.
Totally agree with you a 100%. Your comment is based on research, not hearsay
I used to Speak fluently Spanish during my early years in School (College days) because we have Spanish subjects....and after that, we almost forgot because we don't use it that often...but, still we can speak it & understand it too...It's nice to speak different languages especially if you love traveling...
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.
Love your videos from Philippines 🇵🇭❤️❤️❤️
Prior to 1987, the teaching of Spanish in school is a MUST, meaning it is of the curriculum in college, however, after that year, the education department had made the teaching of the Spanish language ELECTIVE , hence, of course, the language had gradually died, faded away as most people were no longer exposed to the language, even to the sound of it ... though there are still some places in the Philippines wherein Spanish is still spoken by those natives to these places ... however, again, the difference could be noticeable!
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's time to rectrify history and bring Spanish back as one of the official languages in the Philippines and reinstate it as one of the subjects or languages of instruction starting kindergarten until college, so that the Philippines can produce a generation of Filipinos (our children and their descendants) capable at speaking Spanish like we are doing with English.
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...
Only the rich can study spanish. My grand father knows simple english because their teachers before were "american soldiers". He also said that their american soldier teachers were having a difficult time teaching them how to pronounce father and mother because they pronounce it as 'pader and mader'. It's because we don't have letter f in our alphabet.
i remember getting embarrassed when i was a kid, coz people or adults would use some spanish words, especially numbers, and i didnt know what they mean.
The Philippines was colonized by Spain for 3 centuries. Never heard of Noli me Tangere and El Filibusterismo? it's the new generation who are mostly can't speak but they understand. Filipino names were mostly given by the colonizers. Si, hablamos Español.,, but we prefer to use Tagalog or Pilipino language for our
unique identity.Gracias.
Yes'nt
Our Language Is a Mix Language
Spanish English and The Tagalog

Hi can you please react to SB19 LIVE FULL PERFORMANCE ON ROUND ASIAN KOREA MUSIC FESTIVAL THEY PERFORMED 5 OF THEIR POWERFUL SONGS RIGHT THERE, 💙💙 SLMT 💙
No hablar Español pero I can try singing SB19 songs in Spanish hahaha..
Actually, those adopted Hispanic or specifically Spanish-sounding names (that were derived from native names and terms) are over 60,000 names that were given to those who have no family names and the Chinese-Mestizos.
If a Pinoy can find their Hispanic sounding name on the book, it's definitely not Hispanic in origin but Hispanicized.
My last name Carpio directly originated from Mexico o Peru, not Spain, but still Hispanic.
Conozco a varias personas, incluidos amigos, que tienen tu apellido. Salu2
Soy de Ecuador
in this time mexico or peru was Spain
im Filipino i want to learn Español
Go to Zamboanga City 😂, u will learn some Spanish there
4:41 so basically the spelling is Uy but the pronunciation for it is We
As someone who studied English and currently studying Spanish, I'm still thankful that I started learning English at my very young age 'cause English is a complicated one. When I say complicated, I mean the phonetics as well as the dropped syllables, silent letters, etc. As for Spanish, it's easy especially the phonetics and stress (tilde).
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
Are we on this topic again. Huh!
Main reasons why Spaniards didn't let Filipinos speak Spanish:
1. To avoid unity;
2. To easily control the islands;
3. No free education; and
4. Americans didn't support the use of Spanish.
Spain didn't want Filipinos to get educated becuz they know that if Filipinos found out how they corrupt the country a revolution will happen. They've learned that when they've educated Argentina and Cuba. Becuz of allowing them to learn and use their language they fought the Spaniards for independence. And as predicted it also happened in the Philippines when Filipino scholars studied in Europe seek reform from Spain.
Hahahah #Enumeration101
When i went to college they already removed spanish in our subjects so i could not speak it, but many old folks do speak spanish because they learned it from school.
I did take Spanish but I did not become a Spanish speaker, just like my classmates
Can you react to voltes v legacy combine teaser and featurette. Philippines is making a live action adaptation
I attended a private catholic school and we have Spanish classes. I excelled in Spanish only in the classroom and as soon as the class is over we’re back to English/Tagalog conversation.
Exactly! Irrelevant in daily life
can you guys react to countryhumans edits?

DELA CRUZ is one of the most common surname here in the Philippines
Can you do Filipino English Vs American English? its a Video from Bulay says hi at yt
Trifate I'll been waiting to your SB19 REACTION and the Round Festival Performance I love the way you react about Filipino and by they why I'm from Philippines I hope the two of you react that thank you❤
The most common surname in the Philippines is... Dela Cruz. Like, if Americans has John Smith, we have Juan dela Cruz.
☺️
It's because my teacher said american wipe out Spanish and replace it english. till today we have it. Spanish is quite hard to pronounce English is easy. I even prefer English but also I tried Spanish. A lil bit. Later on in war Filipinos became united with American soldiers when Japanese invade the land and world war 2 blow. Our names today is base on English but the surname most were spanish and local.
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.
As a Filipino, one of my ancestors is also Spanish, and our surname/apelyido is Señora😊😊 and from our province which is in Bicol, lots of Spanish words are part of our dialect.
True im from bicol too
From zamboanga here
I still remembered when i was elementary I use to count Spanish words and don't know how to count by my own language like kinda weird 😅
These brothers are kinda smart. They used Filipinos or anything from the Philippines to make content, knowing Filipinos like being talked about by foreigners
I watched your El Planet feature video and I enjoyed it a lot, so fun to watch😆
Edit: SB19's Ken is from Zamboanga ;))
Ken is from CDO not from Zamboanga

Spanish was part of the PH college curriculum, dwindling in the 80s and was eventually phased out.
There video's make my day😁
Grandparents can speak Spanish since we are colonized Spain but we rather speak with our Mother Tounge and became bilingual
love this reaction video 🙌
Fernando de Magallanes did NOT unite the Philippine archipelago into one “united colony..” This was IMPOSSIBLE because he was killed off the shores of Mactan Island (which is off the coast of Cebu Island) several days (or weeks?) after his “discovery.” It was not until 44 years later, with the arrival of Miguel Lopez de Legaspi on Cebu Island that Spain began its colonization efforts in earnest of the Philippines. Please make this CORRECTION in any of your future narratives. Thank you.
Her accent is so exaggerated, and a little harsh, almost pretentious…. LOL!
“Por eJJJJemplo”. “MeSHtiSHoSH”.
She doesnt even pronounce the Spanish words in Tagalog with a Filipino accent. “Apelyido”. (From “Apellido”)
There are, in fact, four official ways to pronounce the “LL” in Spanish. And there are specific areas in So.America and in Spain where the “LL” is pronounced like “LY”.
And it’s not /pid Ghin/. It’s /pid jin/. “Pidgin”. Chavacano is a pidgin Spanish.
We have over 175 languages in the Philippines and some words are Spanish because of being under Spain rule in the 1600s for 333 years
Philippine national language is FILIPINO , not Tagalog. Filipino is mixture of Malay language, Spanish - Italian ,,,, English. Nobody speaks pure Tagalog anymore
Hindi raw adap eh panu ang pagbibilang. Ginagamit natin e galing din Yun SA Spain ang pagbibilang natin . Samin SA Iloilo. Yan ginagamit namin mag bilng. Halimbawa one hundred. Eighth two 182 in Spanish. Siento Ochentai dos
My parental grandparents spoke Spanish because they were taught it in school and the culture still had a lot of Spanish media. Over the years in the 70s and on ward American media dominated. My parents took Spanish courses but because of not using it, they forgot.
By the time I went to school in the 90s, there was no Spanish requirement. I only learn to speak a little when I came to the US and worked at Burger King.
Many of the foods are the same as in Tagalog or Cebuano - cebollas, tomates, pepinos, queso, lechugas, leche, pimientos. Tomar - to drink.
Tocino is just bacon in Spanish but a dish in the Philippines.
After that, I could take orders in Spanish because I knew the numbers.
The Spaniards did not teach Filipinos Spanish. They did not want Filipinos to learn Spanish. Only those direct descendants of Spaniards can speak Spanish and Filipino elites who went to Spain to study like our national hero, Jose Rizal. In spite of this Spanish words crept into our local dialects and national language (Tagalog.) Spanish subjects were introduced by Filipinos in schools starting in high school and continued in university and colleges. It was a required subject. But we did not learn to speak it fluently in daily parlance because we forget it after we leave school. So we count in Spanish, tell time in Spanish and say the months in Spanish because that's what our parents did. Spanish did not become mainstream like American English for this reason inspite of 3 centuries of colonisation. In contrast Americans occupied the Philippines for 50 years only but their influence and impact are deep and long- lasting. Why? Because they established American style public school system, brought American teachers to teach and made English the medium of instruction in schools and official language in business and government. We don't really have a Tagalog subject in schools bit English is mandatory. The reason Mexico and Latin America became Spanish-speaking is because they were not colonised by Americans or British. Hope you'll find this informative and enlightening.

Filipinos use mix of various languages/ dialects during war time. They use mostly in Mindanao, Vietnam, Korea, Afghanistan and of course during the Fil-American war, Fil- Spanish war, and against Japanese.
As Jo Koy had said, Filipinos are the Hybrid of Asia. Yes and No, you gotta take in consideration the highly diverse people and tribes in the Philippines. Even though the Spaniards colonized the country for almost 400 years, Spaniards cannot invade and control the entire country, not to mention the huge Muslim resistance, as well as the many deep jungles and mountains they only dare to trek on. In addition, Philippines has about 200+/- dialects pre-Spanish colonization and remains as such to this time. Concentration of Spanish language were limited to big cities and provinces they initially had control on, otherwise, all other remote provinces and areas controlled by the local tribes and Muslims remained as such. My maternal Grandfather was 2nd generation Spaniard, his family remained in the country even after Spanish-American War, in turn many Americans remained or returned to Philippines after that war, as well. My wife's maternal Grandmother's family is among those who stayed in the Philippines after that war. You also have Chinese, Indians, other Pacific Islanders who moved to the Islands of the Philippines pre and post Spanish colonization, hence the language cannot just be easily unified in to one language, there's too many factors for doing that. And not mention, the Philippines is divided in to 3 major islands, along with other sub-islands counting all to 7000 islands. Unlike, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and all other countries that speak Spanish that has one giant land mass where the Spaniards can control and contain easily.
When I was on High school we have Spanish classes but when I reach college the Spanosh subjects are changed to Sociology, Philosophy and Rizal ...So if we Filipinos want to learn Spanosh it would be easy because there are a lot of Spanish words in Tagalog and Ilocano...Aside from this I have observed that we easily learn another foreign language for conversation maybe because we are multilingual...Best example the OFW's they can speak the language of the place after a month or less of staying there..And lastly because we are adaptable...
Spanish language until now is one of the courses we must take in college in the Philippines but even if it is one of the courses we must take in college, we just take it for the sake of completing our terms and graduate then after learning elementary and advance Spanish lesson in college, we forget all about it.
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🥲
How could you deny a part of your history. Philippines would have been unique if the government let Spanish stay as part of the curriculum while English is the main language of government and education. It was first taken out of High School, then in College and in 1987 was abolished once and for all. It was a big mistake.
I’m not against Spanish languages but…If we only speak Spanish we will have hard time understanding English and English is mostly the language that everyone communicate with.
So I’m glad we have Tagalog and English. Things and last names and foods should be enough to have that Spanish words we inherited. In California we had to speak Spanish because some people doesn’t know English. So that’s another language to adapt. I’m just saying.
This really annoys me -- Tagalog is not A dialect! There are many regional dialects of Tagalog, the LANGUAGE. And it isn't wise to generalize about indigenous peoples in Latin American being 'wiped out'. For obvious reasons.
The Spanish may have colonized us (Filipinas) for 300 years, but they treat the people of the country slaves and lower than human considering that fact they want to spread Christianity but many (not all) priest on those eras don't practice what they preach they live like kings.
That’s why maybe we have sided with the American yes, they have their own interest on the country, but they educate most Filipinos on that era.
I am nobody maybe I am wrong (my surname is Spanish), but this is my own opinion.
Spain prevented the Filipinos from learning Spanish so that they will not rise up against them. Spain and the USA did not account for the strong sense of nationalism and desire to be free from the shackles of colonialists. Do not be deceived by the Americanisms seen in the country because this love of country and culture still burns in the hearts of Filipinos and they have and will die to protect it. As for surnames, when Spanish Governor General Narciso Claveria issued a decree known as the Claveria decree of 1849 that heads of families must choose a surname to be used by all members of a family. Previous to that Filipinos chose whatever surnames they wanted and changed them on a whim within a family. This posed problems for census purposes, governing, settling inheritances, etc. Researching Filipino genealogies before 1849 is a nightmare.
We only know numbers like,: uno dus,tres,kuatro etc,n other simple words,,not fuent,,n pure,,i hd a high grades in the Spanish subject in coll.before whn not yet abolished ,,,
in my province Zamboanga city. our language mix spanish
The only reason why Filipinos don't speak spanish because when the time the spain colonized the nation, speaking spanish is limited for those poor people most of the time only " ILUSTRADOS" or middle class people can speak spanish.
There are a lot of benefits that the Western country brought to the Philippines but there are also negative side to it. Aside from discrimination, they also label anything they see. Long ago 2 males holding hands while walking is not a crime. But today because of Western culture they tend to label them as gays. Furthermore, we have a tradition and rituals made by the Babaylan and Quack Doctors but after they colonize the Philippines they label them as witches. How insolent they are. But nonetheless, respect each culture and differences nowadays should be the top priority among others.
I think Bicol language contains more of Spanish term than Tagalog. I used to live here in Bicol Philippines we're I don't why but most of our Language idioms more on we speak like in spanish. I do even understand spanish as well. Even some rituals and church hymns also speak spanish.
Im Filipino. my middle name is prieto and if I search it, it shows names from Spanish, but I'm not surprised because my grandfather and grandmother have Spanish blood.
Filipinos in the 1800s speak fluent Spanish but gradually the dominant language changed to Tagalog and English after WWII
Wow! Thank you guys for reacting to that video! 😍😃👍
We still have many Spanish words that Filipinos though were TAGALOGl.
Like silya and so many other words but I am lazy not right now to type
There's a lot of difference between americans and spanish treatment when it comes to education Americans are willing to lend their language even provided public school system but Spanish didn't want filipinos to learn theirs.Racial discrimination and fear that if filipinos where taught they would yearn for freedom and become more organized in rebellion.Which eventually happened when suez canal was opened and travelling to europe was a lot more easier and safer rich families were able to send their children to study in europe.Those ilustrados who travelled and studied abroad became the key figures in philippine rebellion against spain.
"American napkin" lol
Yeah, don't use the word "napkin" while in a restaurant in the Philippines, they'll give you a feminine pad lol.
Please watch a video on how Indonesia and Philippines are similar too
