I have my Spanish 4 subject in 1986, which is the last class of spanish in my college. Spanish was abolished during Cory Aquino's regime. Philippine dialects have lots of spanish word. Spanish should have not been abolished because it has connection to our culture.

Most Filipinos never knew how to speak Spanish. The population not being able to speak and pass it on is a reflection of that. Catholic mass was done in the local languages. Medium of instruction was not in Spanish. The media is not in Spanish. The Philippines was not totally conquered like the Americas, where everything was practically displaced. The Spanish also did not teach the language, as it would prevent many Filipinos in getting administrative occupations in the government. Heck, even the constant reference to Chavacano is still not Spanish, but a Spanish CREOLE.

I am Filipino but by blood I am Spanish-Chinese-Filipino. My father was from Zamboanga City. I studied there from 2nd year high school to 4th year high school. When I moved there, I felt lke I was not in the Philippines anymore. It is indeed the Latin City of Asia. From the airport you will see a signage that says " Bienvenidos Zamboanga". I always hear "Mi casa es tu casa." My family (in Zamboanga) speaks only English, Spanish and Chavacano, no Tagalog. My father sucks in Tagalog to be honest. He was bulol but he tried his best.

Cebuanos with Spanish lineage speaks fluent Spanish, most famous of them is Singer-Actress Pilita Corrales and Mall owner, Gaisano. Manila also has its share of Spanish speaking Filipinos like the Ayalas, Zobels,

many words in the Philippine dialects have roots from foreign languages... Japanese Hindu Thai Arabic Malay Polynesian Spanish among others . i think it's because of the need to be understood to broker a deal with foreigners through the centuries... Luzon sounds like a northern Asian name... Visaya sounds like Hindu and Mindanao sounds Arabic... salamat is a derivative of salam as one example ....the islands were a melting pot of cultures for centuries way before the Spaniards came... peace and please stay safe out there

✌️😄🇵🇭 I just want to say and share that I am from Zamboanga City, and I am a native speaker of the Chavacano language, specifically the variant, variety, or dialect of Zamboangueño Chavacano or Chavacano de Zamboanga. Buenos dias, o especificamente, Buenas tardes desde Ciudad de Zamboanga!

In college, our elective subject was, "Spanish". For one reason or another I was flunking in the subject (my teacher doesn't like me). My dad was rather mad at me. Why? Because people my generation grew up, in our much younger and thus formative years, surrounded by Spanish speaking elders. My dad spoke fluent Spanish and would do so when he has to say something to my grandmother, that he doesn't want us, his kids, to know. Back to college days: to make up for the low grades, we asked if coming up with a project, will help. "Will singing in Spanish do?", we quipped. Our professora said yes and we took to the task of choosing a song and rehearsals. Our prof was thinking something along the lines of a traditional Spanish song, "La dalaga, Filipina. ...". Oh no! We sang Sergio Mendez / Lanie Hall renditions. This was complete with guitars and percussions, the works! We sang in class and we thought everyone liked it. Yup everyone, except our old spinster professora. We all passed anyhow, but barely. All got the equivalent of a 75, the lowest passing grade!

@@D__634 That misconception is actually erroneous and very pro-US, because it's a propaganda spread by the American educators when they took over the Philippines, to vilify anything Spanish, anything Hispanic. It's their goal after winning the Spanish-American War, and unfortunately quite successful in doing so because you also adopted the same mindset. Spanish was not only exclusive to the rich and men. It's something that post-colonial Filipinos erroneously believe. Just like Filipino language today, Spanish was a lingua franca, and was spoken mainly in Manila but was understood by majority of the Filipinos even if they don't speak it because they have their own regional languages. It would not be a national language and a lingua franca during the Hispanic Era, and even post- Hispanic era if it's not spoken widely or understood by majority. It was taught in schools, and in fact, the Americans were not the ones who introduced public education in the country. It was Queen Isabella II who implemented a mandatory public education system in the Philippines. Many historical figures in our country have been educated through public education during the Hispanic Era, one example was Manuel Quezon. And, Americans don't have to be credited to the "education for all" because Women, even in Europe, even in America had no right to vote and were encouraged to be homeschooled until 1918. But that does not mean they are uneducated. Just because Filipinos did not go to universities did not mean they are completely uneducated during the Hispanic times, they were in fact homeschooled, which was actually a popular educational practice before Public Education System was introduced in Europe during the 1860s as a result of Industrial Revolution.

You will not even see any names of a female student in Noli Me Tangere and Il Filibusterismo that was written by J.P. Rizal. When I said americanizing, I didn't even mean it in a positive way. Edit: Rizal's mother studied in Colegio de Santa Rosa - Manila; an all-girl (private) school that educates young Spanish - Filipino women. Aside from her being a mestiza, she also came from a wealthy family. The main objective of that institute is to produce monks (nuns), which is also what happened to Maria Clara in Noli Me Tangere

For having conquered for more than 300 years by Spaniards, no wonder, we have adapted their culture, beliefs, education and their language. In our college before, there we had 2 years of subject in Sp.anish. Some words in Tagalog are also adopted from Spaniard.

That Spanish was a privileged language to the elites at that time was certainly on-point. Spain did not want Filipinos then to learn to read or write for fear that the masses become enlightened to their plight. Spain came to colonize and not for any other altruistic intention. They used religion to subjugate the masses. "Bajo la cruz, la espada" - below the cross is the sword - best encapsulates their ruling style. The locals should best be left uneducated and ignorant so the elites can prosper themselves. Spain came to exploit our natural resources, sending back the spoils to Spain via the Mla- Acapulco Galleon Trade. They did not want to develop the country. The so-called illustrados had to go abroad to get the learning and tried to introduce socio-political- economic reforms. Education under Spain if any, were left essentially in the hands of the friars who had sole power to determine what the masses needed to know and that was centered mainly on religion. And due to the distance from Spain, there was a dearth of friars wanting to settle in the hinterlands of the Phils. In their reluctance to keep Spanish an elite privilege, Friars opted to learn the regional dialects instead of teaching Spanish. Real education thus never materialized. Under her rule, Spain was never able to unite the country. Contrast this to the American colonization that prioritized English education. Rather than trying to learn over 200 languages/dialects in use in the country, the US opted to enforce the use of English, sending boatloads of English missionaries/teachers in the 1900s via the Mayflower, setting up public school systems across the country and effectively paving the way for the widespread use of English in our lives. English became our primary language and even with the 1987 enactment making Filipino the national language, English remains technically still our primary national language - system of gov't, of public (until 1987) and private education, of tri-media, vestiges in our system of measurement, etc...Ilocano (northern Phil language) will not be understood by a Cebuano (spoken in the Visayas) nor by the Tausugs in Sulu (who share their language with Sabah, Malaysia). But at almost any part of the country, English words can at least be understood if not spoken, a boon for most foreigners. In this sense, the single greatest contribution of the US to the Phils is the use of English - the lingua franca of business and technology - allowing Filipinos to be citizens of the world.

A few corrections: Lucy, (tu) luces/te ves hermosa con gafas (lentes).

Fun fact: Filipinos/Mestizos referred by the Spaniards to be those who were born with Spanish/European blood (born of Native and Spanish, Spanish and Spanish, Europeans & Native). It was derived from its original archipelagic name Las Islas Filipinas honoring the king of Spain king Filipe II (Philip II). Filipinas- Filipino. It also means belonging to Spain. Spaniards called natives as Indios (meaning indigenous people), truthful owners and the first people who settled in the Islands before they came. Note that Natives don't call their selves Indios reason why it was never been used and they don't know what it means during the Spanish regime. Although in social racial discrimination of Spaniards it means belonging to the lower class. Natives call themselves based of their ethnicity to which they belong, commonly from local terms like Cebuano, Chavacano, Igorots, Visayan, Moros & etc. Filipino race comes from Indonesia, Malay, Brunie, Pigmies & got mixed with Spanish. We are proud to be brown in race. We have also this folklore where in God created humans using a clay cooking on a pot. God cook the first human but it got overcooked that's the black people. God tried it again hoping that it would be cooked perfectly but he was too early pulling it out of the pot so it was uncooked and that's the white. The last try it was perfectly cooked which is brown in colour that's the Filipinos. Meanwhile, Filipino is already a generic terms in the Philippines reason why during the construction of the 1987 Constitution they use Pilipino as the citizenship reliant to it's English translation Philippines. Of course United States would never claim them as Spanish coz it would preserve their linkage to the Spain. So they used the common term used by the Spaniard which is Filipino. Remember that USA wanted as much to diminish Spanish Culture and make the Philippines to be Americanized. Although they have suceeded in language but not as a whole. Nevertheless, Filipino identity is still questionable to who really they are becoz they are called to be more Asian to be called Hispanic and More Hispanic to be called an Asian. But for me, I'd rather say Filipinos are Asian in race (since it is located in South East Asia) while Hispanized/Americanized in Culture. It's Hispanized/Americanized since our culture/traditions are more greatly influenced by the westerners and that's why it's not also wrong to say that Filipinos are Latino American Asians and/or Hispanic. Moreover, Manuel L. Quezon the 2nd Philippines President said that the Philippines is the meeting point of the East and West.

When my grandparents were in hightschool and college they still got Spanish language subject so must of the grandparents our generation know a little bit of spanish. However during the tike of our parents they changed the spanish subject with english that is why we are more eloquent in english than in spanish today. Fortunately we still have spanish words and terms we still use up to this day mixed in tagalog😊

We have lots Spanish words but the verbs are usually in imperative, infinitive or in 3rd person singular form.

Some part in the Philippines speaks spanish. Like old Cavite and Zamboanga City

we still count in spanish in our province some things still named in spanish....but not used it too much because school teaches english and mother tongue(own native languages)

Durante la época española nuestra gente hablaba español en minoría, gente ilustre como José Rizal y sus compañeros hablaban español. A nuestra gente le gustaría aprender el idioma, pero si no tienen el dinero para estudiarlo, no pueden aprenderlo. Pero eventualmente, lo aprenden con palabras o frases. Cuando los estadounidenses vinieron a colonizarnos, sus gobiernos cambiaron el idioma al inglés. Hoy hablamos en filipino, inglés y muchos idiomas locales. Hablo español porque tengo sangre española y china, y también hablo francés, alemán, italiano, rumano, ruso, griego, portugués, escandinavo, eslavo, chino, indonesio, japonés, coreano porque soy lingüista.

Instead Magellan name the islands he saw " Arkepilago de San Lazaro" 2) Miguel Lopez de Legaspi made the Philippines official colony of Spain and created its first Spanish Government in Cebu and was later transferred to Manila..

It was Islas San Lazarus the name given by Ferdinand Magellan to a group of Islands in the Visayas in 1521. Magellan was killed after a month of his arrival. Spanish Ruy Lopez de Villalobos was the one who gave the name Felipinas/ Filipinas to the island group of Leyte in 1543. The name was after Prince Felipe the crown prince of Asturias who would become King Felipe II in the 1550's. He was married to Queen Mary I of England.

Spanish is used to be taught in colleges here in the phil 3 units per subject..

Let’s face it it’s mostly broken Spanish but we learn pretty fast because we have so many Spanish nouns, phrases and saludos… so once exposed to real Spanish we pick up very fast.

Loved that! Learned so much!

I am Filipino and I am beyond proud because our native tongue are preserved up to now. Tagalog is one of our many languages scattered in the philippine islands. We also have languages mistaken as dialects like what the narrator said. I am proud that spanish language is forgotten in the philippines except names and some places. We are Asians and we have more cultures other than spanish. We are asians with spanish sounding names and with literacy in english.

You're proud that Spanish is forgotten? Why? The language was once ours uniting the whole archipelago, uniting the people against the Americans and Japanese, has direct link to most of our culture, etc. I'm not dismissing the dark times our ancestors had with them but being proud about forgetting the language while speaking in English is hypocritical. You should abandon English then you should be proud.

I found that very interesting, especially the fact that so much Spanish vocabulary has become part of Tagalog. Never knew that. It kind of parallels the way so much French vocabulary has become a part of English.

@@Jprager Yes, English is a Germanic language, related closely to languages like German and Dutch. But there was a huge infusion of French vocabulary, about 10,000 words, into English after the Normans (from France) invaded and conquered England in 1066. So there are many words of Anglo Saxon origin in English that have an equivalent word of French origin. For one example, Anglo Saxon origin "chicken" and French origin "poultry."

My grandfather was a Spanish doctor whose families migrated in the Philippines when there was a revolution in Spain during the time of Franco. After four generations of our family, nobody speak Spanish language anymore. American English is the standard language used in school everywhere in the country. It is not use anymore 'though in College there is still Spanish 101 but you know, only few can speak it fluently.

it was not Magellan who named the philippines but Ruy Lopez de Villa Lobos. Magellan and his servant Enrique de Mellaca were the first sail to the Philippines under Spanish rule. Ruy Lopez de Villa Lobos went to the Philippines after three years since Magellan died at the hands of Lapu-Lapu. Ruy Lopez de Villa Lobos actually occupied the philippines and named it after Prince Philip of Austria. Because of that Prince Philip became King of Spain.

If you guys are interested about the Filipinos and Espanyol in the Philippines, try to read Jose Rizal's two famous books(Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo). I think they have an English translation of those books. It will be helpful because it shows what kind life did the people had lived in that era. Also it was being taught in all schools here in the Ph, I think it will be really helpful and informative. Definitely recommend!

Agree. George and Lucy buy and read these two epic books by our Narional Hero, Jose Rizal, who was martyred by the Spaniards in 1896 and younwill have a glimpse of how Spaniards treated us the natives and illustrados then. The novels were written in defiance to the atrocities committed by the Spanish authorities. The book inspired a rebellion vs Spain. So I think.

Yeah. They're a great start. However, it is important to bear in mind that those books are also categorised as fiction, filled with satire and were primarily used as propaganda pieces during the later years of Spanish colonial era in the Philippines. Therefore, they may not reflect accurately the life during the era. So take a grain of salt when reading those books (should optimal accuracy be the one you are looking for).

yes way back 1980’s we have spanish subject we do speak but since no practice and the filipinos concentrated in english so it was not practiced but one time I travelled to California USA I encountered one person on the street somewhere in west anaheim asking about the street and the person I approach does not know how to speak english and I learned he is from mexico and he spoke spanish so I have little spanish so we do understand each other in a choppy spanish

The OLD Filipinos still speak Spanish. I speak Spanish -- therefore I must be old (yes, age 80). When the Americans colonized us in 1898, they started teaching us English. But the process -- of developing English teachers -- was slow, and the school textbooks were in Spanish for many years until they were replaced by English textbooks. Today, only the members of the old, aristocratic Spanish families still speak Spanish -- but only at home. You might still hear Castellano (that's Castilian Spanish) conversations in Forbes Park, near BGC.

Actually, the PHILIPPINES had been a SPANISH colony for 336 years, not 333 which can see in many History books. Spanish and French were the main forms of communication back then but when AMERICANS came, THEY REPLACED SPANISH and French with ENGLISH. They even changed SPANISH names into AMERICAN names.
