Of course you are going to find Spanish-speaking Filipinos at the Spanish festival in Makati. But don't get the imression that Filipinos commonly speak Spanish. They don't unless they specifically study a Spanish course in school (rare) or learn it on their own. Filipinos speak their official national language which is "Filipino" (very close to and interchangeable with Tagalog). Going to school they are also taught the second official language of the Philippines which is English. Some learn it well, others not so much. Once you get farther away from Manila, Filipinos speak their own local languges of which there are dozens and most are totally different than the Filipino language. If they grow up in a place where there are two or more local languages spoken everyday, they learn them all as children....effortlessly. By the time they are in high school, many know three or more languages fluently. Almost NEVER is one of those languages Spanish! The Spanish colonizers made a particular effort to NOT teach the natives (except for the wealthy elite Filipinos) their Spanish language. They used Spanish to communicate with one another in order to have a "control" language that the natives could not understand. That policy is why speaking Spanish never caught on in the Philippines even with 300 years of Spanish rule.
Thank you for this! As a Filipino can we also please stop saying we have Spanish blood or our grandparents are Spanish when we are obviously Malay looking. It really gets in my nerve when people say these things. When I was young I thought Andres Bonifacio, Jose Rizal, Juan Luna were at least half Filipino and half Spanish. But they weren’t. You see their photos and they looked like that typical Malay looking filipinos who spoke Spanish fluently because they came from well to do families here. Of course there are “mestizos and mestizas” in the Philippines but majority of Filipinos are not so please just stop saying “may Spanish blood ako”. Nakakahiya.
@@nn3626 I agree with you about the “ Spanish blood” sadly most Filipinos have an inferiority complex. And just want to show the world that they are not just a bunch of savages, swinging from the trees in the jungle it’s pretty sad, just be yourself.
Your information about the Spanish language education in the Philippines is a bit misleading because don't forget the fact that the Philippines is a far-flung colony that wasn't directly controlled by Spain until 1821, but New Spain (present-day Mexico), so it wasn't practical for the very few thousands of Spanish Catholic friars to ram Spanish down to the throats of native Filipinos who had to be converted to Catholicism and converting them wouldn't have been possible if the Spanish Catholic friars had never made efforts to learn local Philippine languages. The same thing happened in Mexico, Peru, Bolivia, Guatemala, and Paraguay where Spanish never became the dominant first language among mestizos and indios until the 20th century when the compulsory and secular public school systems were imposed by their criollo-led governments and later on, urbanization that forced mestizos and indios in Latin American countries to switch to Spanish to communicate with criollo government officials in the cities like Mexico City or Lima. Spanish would have eventually disseminated to the general Filipino public via compulsory and secular public school system and urbanization, but the Americans came in and imposed their own education system based on the English language, so the death of Spanish as a spoken language in the Philippines became inevitable, although its societal use flourished for a while (until 1920s) before American-educated Filipinos who born in the 1890s and beyond took over the government and preferred English over Spanish as the language of public administration and private enterprise.

As a native Chavacano speaker, I can understand them perfectly but putting a true Spanish sentences together is another thing. I do take Spanish classes online though so it may be why it is so easy for me to understand them.
sinungaling layo ng chavacano sa spanish, bastardized spanish ang chavacano, may halo pang bisaya. Tumira ako sa zamboanga matagal, nagaral din ako instituto, layo tlga chavacano. Nkakasira pa ng pagaaral mo ng spanish :D

@@CrisE1983 As someone who has Chavacano as her first language and took Spanish in college, madali silang maintindihan. The words are almost all the same, but Chavacano uses the third person present tense with suffixes and prefixes to establish tenses. So it is easy to follow, but our understanding may not always be complete or accurate. The grammar is very different, but it is easy to piece together if they speak slowly.
@@CrisE1983 boy bobo! At bitter ka lng. Unfortunately for you.

Had tried studying Spanish in Singapore but sentence composition is just so hard for me. I like how casual you guys could speak the language. Once my daughter perfects her English I will enroll her in spanish as well! Viva Filipinas amigos!
The truth is English and Spanish are not that different. They have a very similar structure and many similar words because they use the same roots (for example: información=information, increible=incredible, usual=usual, destino=destiny, persona=person....). Where they differ the most is in pronunciation, English is a language in which what is read is not the same as what is written, while Spanish is read as it is written (always). Also an important difference is that words in Spanish are gendered (EL colegio, LA mesa, LOS días, LAS horas...), and in English most words do not have gender.
living in Miami and working at the airport in Miami, Florida which has a huge Spanish speaking population, I had to learn to speak a bit of simple Spanish to be able to do my job as an Airline Ground Staff. Being a CEBUANO speaker helped a lot because of the spanish Loan Words, Numbers that I know in Cebuano. i picked it up rather quickly. My latino coworkers assumed I knew Spanish being Filipino but I told them I grew up in the US and that Spanish Language was no longer a Philippine Requirement in High School and College like it was during my Parent's time.
Noong 1993 first year college ako natuwa ako na inaabolish yung spanish subject sa school kc kla namin mahirap pag aralan yung language na yan...pero sa ngayon kailangan pala...proud ka kung marunong ka mag spanish katulad sa taga zamboanga magaling mag spanish..pero yung bisaya o tagalog may halo paring spanish words or language....
Mi primera ves llegaron a centro america, yo intiendo nada de español. Con buena suerte encontre una buena maestra...se llama "Marimar" ,parece familiar su nombre verda? Sipo, aprendir español en la tele-novela 😊
@3:21 Dude is so right, there is techincally more historical Nueva Espana (Mexico) blood in the Philippines, but because Spain began direct rule of the Philippines after 1821 the Spain connection gets more press.
Which makes it even more confusing, when Filipinos for some reason or another believe they have Spanish blood, just for the sole reason the Philippines was a Spanish colony. There are some that state they would only take the word of their grandparents and parents, over a DNA test. Heck, there are Filipinos that will claim they are half Spanish, but also admit none of their parents are from Spain or even know how they are even connected to Spain. Just that their stories, from what they were told.
True. I have some Filipino friends who have Mexican ancestry. Fortunately, their forefathers made it a point to teach/remind their family what their heritage is. On the other hand, there are also some Mexicans who have Filipino ancestry due to the centuries-long galleon trade between Acapulco (Mexico) and Manila (Philippines). Some Filipinos made their way to Mexico and decided to settle down there.
@@alanguages actually there are many filipinos who have spanish ancestry but there is also many filipinos who don't have spanish ancestry. It's not a myth, not all filipinos tells that their great grandparents are spanish, only some of them or claim to have spanish ancestry but not all. Even many filipinos surprise to have 10%spanish dna on their result because no one of their family told that they have spanish heritage through their great grandparents.
It is a myth though. The overwhelming majority of Filipinos don't have Spanish blood. The Philippines wasn't like Mexico or Latin America where they were so Hispanized, they even have effectively done away with many of their indigenous identity. Comparative wise of course. The only true way to be sure is by DNA testing. Even with non DNA topics, Filipinos I have talked also believe Filipino languages evolved from Spanish. The reason why, there are many Spanish words in languages like Tagalog and Bisaya. It is apparent, they don't know what loanwords are from a linguistic point of view. @@beastmood6635
@@beastmood6635 true. some don't even tell their heritage when it so obvious that their appearance is screaming mestizo, they just identify with being filipino. my grandfather (from my mother's side) is a mestizo he acknowledged that his mom side is mestiza espanola but tbh he doesn't care about his heritage because is he 100% filipinized i just found out that he's a mestizo because when i was a kid people always get confused if i am his legitimate grandson, so i asked him, "lolo, why do you look different than me? then he tells his origin. so that's how i know lmao.
Learning another language is always a plus regardless of which language. Also the fact that is easy for a person from "Latin-America" to make friend with a Phillipino than with other Asian is because we have certain traits in common. I am Cuban who lived in San Francisco, CA for 11 years worked with many Philipinos in the health sector and one of my closest friend is from Philipines. I could see right a way many things in common it was easy to get each other. Of course as many Latin country (specially Cuba) part of our history is similar.
I learned the words for second cousins and third cousins "primos segundos y primos terceros" 2:10 . Lol, in the end, he tries to introduce a (code-mixing) Filipino idiom into Spanish as a loan translation (calque): "ojala todos" = "sana all" which means something like "I wish everyone (were like that, had that, ...)"

I grew up in the Mission District in San Francisco. All I heard growing up there was Spanish ( I learned the bad words first from the local Latino kids 😂). I had Spanish in middle school, but I was bored silly with that. I figure why learn this? Tagalog and Kapampangan have Spanish words and all my peers at my young age spoke English. It was like trying to learn math when I had a calculator watch and a solar powered one in my backpack.
Esto es Loco. Sigo mirando los subtítulos pero entiendo más de la mitad de las veces. De verdad, recuerdo que cuando estoy en España la gente me llama Mexicano por mi acento. Muchos de ustedes también tienen ese acento. pero esto es supercool. Felicidades
Por cierto, hay un error en el vídeo cuando escribís “Insulares: full-blooded Spaniards born in the colonies”. Lo correcto sería “viceroyalties” que no es lo mismo, España no tenía colonias, esas eran y son las del mundo anglosajón, francés, etc.
Interesting fact - outside of the Philippines, when you meet someone who has very western (American) first name and Spanish sounding last name, and looking very Asian, safe to assume is a Filipino - ie. Denzel Ramirez, Gerard Dela Cruz, Ashley Velazquez, Nicole Castillo...

The Philippines 1970s and 80s curriculum both highschool and college Spanish is taught. It was removed by the ultranationalist in the 1987 Philippine constitution. But most dialects are embedded with Spanish terms, words and letters without them knowing.

Spanish bad words named in Filipino deserts.
This kind of content we need to support! Keep it up guys!! Educational purpose

Siento un poquito de pena de que el español que se habló durante 300 años en Filipinas poco a poco se esté extinguiendo 😢 Saludos desde Ambato, Ecuador 🇪🇨🤝🇵🇭
Gracias a los inglesas y USA
Suscrito. Saludo a los hermanos filipinos.
Español es mi lengua nativa, me casaría con una filipina para enseñarle mi buen español latinoamericano ❤😜☺️😊
Un detalle muy impresionante es que la urbanización y el mobiliario urbano que muestran es tremendamente parecido al de Ciudad de México / A very impressive detail is that the urbanization and street furniture they show is tremendously similar to that of Mexico City.
Viva la hispanidad y la unión hispanoamericana ❤❌🇵🇭🇪🇸
Algo interesante para mi… Soy Filipino de Miami y me tropecé con este video genial. De verdad me gustaría conectar con ustedes ojalá que podemos hablar .
Love it, I want to learn Spanish Language
Bien por nuestros hermanos hispanos Felipinos. Nunca pierda su verdadera lengua que es el Español (Castellano)
Nice vlog, it's a reminiscent of my school days with my Spanish subject.
I hope spanish subject in school will be introduce again
As a native Chavacano speaker, I can understand them perfectly but putting a true Spanish sentences together is another thing. I do take Spanish classes online though so it may be why it is so easy for me to understand them.
sinungaling layo ng chavacano sa spanish, bastardized spanish ang chavacano, may halo pang bisaya. Tumira ako sa zamboanga matagal, nagaral din ako instituto, layo tlga chavacano. Nkakasira pa ng pagaaral mo ng spanish :D
@@CrisE1983 Eh di wow! Mas marami kapa pa lang nalalaman kaysa sa mismong Zamboangueno eh. tinawag mo pa akong sinungaling di mo naman ako kilala. Wow na wow ka.. Typical crab mentality. Basahin mo ulit buong post ko. Kulang ka sa comprehension.
@@CrisE1983 As someone who has Chavacano as her first language and took Spanish in college, madali silang maintindihan. The words are almost all the same, but Chavacano uses the third person present tense with suffixes and prefixes to establish tenses. So it is easy to follow, but our understanding may not always be complete or accurate. The grammar is very different, but it is easy to piece together if they speak slowly.
@@CrisE1983 boy bobo! At bitter ka lng. Unfortunately for you. Chavacano ako and naging fluent ako and now working as bilingual sa loob lamang ng 9 months at ngayon ako pa nga nagcocorrect ng grammar ng iba kong bilingual colleagues kahit na mas nauna pa sila sakin. Masyado kang bitter boy! Hind ka anak ng tinapay, anak ka ng puta 😂😂😂
Un abrazo desde España a nuestros hermanos filipinos.
¡Hermosa gente!
🇪🇸❤️🇵🇭
i always wanted to speak spanish. how i wish it is still taught in school or my community college can have language lessons which i would love to choose spanish.
I remembered my father told me during there time in late 70s in high school spanish language is being one of the subjects teached in highschool
Muy buen programa !
I love hearing Spanish language. More eager na akong mag aral. 😍.
Me gusta este video me disfrutaba mucho 🎉
I like spanish language and did enjoy it when I was in my college days. Hoping they will include Spanish subject again in the curriculum.
Un saludo para nuestros amigos filipinos 👍🏼
Q bueno q ademas de Chavacano se escucha el español en Filipina
Tenemos que volver a reencontrarnos todos los hispanos del mundo. EE UU nos separó de nuestros hermanos filipinos pero poco a poco a volveremos a entendemos todos.
Un saludo a todos nuestros hermanos filipinos desde España
Iam marjon reyes pure filipino but i cant explain why i love spanish language and im studying it already
I love Spanish language muy bien
Vito en San Francisco 🌉, EE UU. Latinos, Filipinos, otro gente de Asia 🌏 video aqui. Mi dialecto es Mexicano 🇲🇽.
Es ironico que el titulo no tiene subtitulo《Semana en espanol》.
¿Cuantos personas alli hablan en Chavacano? Esta lengua es facil por este Italiano aprender.
Este episode es bueno 👌
Claro que si. Los Filipinos, tiene mucho sentido logico. Teniendo nombres y apellidos de España. Hablar el castellano les identifica como tal, por sus nombres y apellidos.🧐. ✌🧡😇
Had tried studying Spanish in Singapore but sentence composition is just so hard for me. I like how casual you guys could speak the language. Once my daughter perfects her English I will enroll her in spanish as well! Viva Filipinas amigos!
The truth is English and Spanish are not that different. They have a very similar structure and many similar words because they use the same roots (for example: información=information, increible=incredible, usual=usual, destino=destiny, persona=person....).
Where they differ the most is in pronunciation, English is a language in which what is read is not the same as what is written, while Spanish is read as it is written (always). Also an important difference is that words in Spanish are gendered (EL colegio, LA mesa, LOS días, LAS horas...), and in English most words do not have gender.
Me gusto mucho este video, felicidades!! 🎉❤🎉
living in Miami and working at the airport in Miami, Florida which has a huge Spanish speaking population, I had to learn to speak a bit of simple Spanish to be able to do my job as an Airline Ground Staff. Being a CEBUANO speaker helped a lot because of the spanish Loan Words, Numbers that I know in Cebuano. i picked it up rather quickly. My latino coworkers assumed I knew Spanish being Filipino but I told them I grew up in the US and that Spanish Language was no longer a Philippine Requirement in High School and College like it was during my Parent's time.
Noong 1993 first year college ako natuwa ako na inaabolish yung spanish subject sa school kc kla namin mahirap pag aralan yung language na yan...pero sa ngayon kailangan pala...proud ka kung marunong ka mag spanish katulad sa taga zamboanga magaling mag spanish..pero yung bisaya o tagalog may halo paring spanish words or language....
I hope Filipinos can learn spanish again,me as a spanish learner love this language.
I hope so too
That will never gonna happen, if only the Philippines can eradicated those spanish bullshit names bcoz its disgusting
Yea fr
It amazes me to see history impacting the lives of every day humans. What a small world! Un saludos a los hermanos filipinos!
Mi primera ves llegaron a centro america, yo intiendo nada de español. Con buena suerte encontre una buena maestra...se llama "Marimar" ,parece familiar su nombre verda? Sipo, aprendir español en la tele-novela 😊
Excelente ❤ muy bonito 👌 saludos desde Venezuela 🇻🇪👍👏👍👍
Wow gusto k din matutu mag Español may byahi kc ak ng spain watching ofw from Europe godbless
@3:21 Dude is so right, there is techincally more historical Nueva Espana (Mexico) blood in the Philippines, but because Spain began direct rule of the Philippines after 1821 the Spain connection gets more press.
Which makes it even more confusing, when Filipinos for some reason or another believe they have Spanish blood, just for the sole reason the Philippines was a Spanish colony. There are some that state they would only take the word of their grandparents and parents, over a DNA test. Heck, there are Filipinos that will claim they are half Spanish, but also admit none of their parents are from Spain or even know how they are even connected to Spain. Just that their stories, from what they were told.
True. I have some Filipino friends who have Mexican ancestry. Fortunately, their forefathers made it a point to teach/remind their family what their heritage is.
On the other hand, there are also some Mexicans who have Filipino ancestry due to the centuries-long galleon trade between Acapulco (Mexico) and Manila (Philippines). Some Filipinos made their way to Mexico and decided to settle down there.
@@alanguages actually there are many filipinos who have spanish ancestry but there is also many filipinos who don't have spanish ancestry. It's not a myth, not all filipinos tells that their great grandparents are spanish, only some of them or claim to have spanish ancestry but not all. Even many filipinos surprise to have 10%spanish dna on their result because no one of their family told that they have spanish heritage through their great grandparents.
It is a myth though. The overwhelming majority of Filipinos don't have Spanish blood. The Philippines wasn't like Mexico or Latin America where they were so Hispanized, they even have effectively done away with many of their indigenous identity.
Comparative wise of course.
The only true way to be sure is by DNA testing. Even with non DNA topics, Filipinos I have talked also believe Filipino languages evolved from Spanish. The reason why, there are many Spanish words in languages like Tagalog and Bisaya. It is apparent, they don't know what loanwords are from a linguistic point of view. @@beastmood6635
@@beastmood6635 true. some don't even tell their heritage when it so obvious that their appearance is screaming mestizo, they just identify with being filipino. my grandfather (from my mother's side) is a mestizo he acknowledged that his mom side is mestiza espanola but tbh he doesn't care about his heritage because is he 100% filipinized
i just found out that he's a mestizo because when i was a kid people always get confused if i am his legitimate grandson, so i asked him, "lolo, why do you look different than me? then he tells his origin. so that's how i know lmao.
wow, you're very talented blogger, knows how to speak tagalog, spanish, english y indonesian , bravo!
Proud of these Filipino brothers!!!
lol
lol
Somos todos hispanos!!!
Learning another language is always a plus regardless of which language. Also the fact that is easy for a person from "Latin-America" to make friend with a Phillipino than with other Asian is because we have certain traits in common. I am Cuban who lived in San Francisco, CA for 11 years worked with many Philipinos in the health sector and one of my closest friend is from Philipines. I could see right a way many things in common it was easy to get each other. Of course as many Latin country (specially Cuba) part of our history is similar.
Thank you for this video. I've learned Spanish by reading the subtitles 😂😂😂. Magnifico, fantastico. 😂😂😂
I learned the words for second cousins and third cousins "primos segundos y primos terceros" 2:10 . Lol, in the end, he tries to introduce a (code-mixing) Filipino idiom into Spanish as a loan translation (calque): "ojala todos" = "sana all" which means something like "I wish everyone (were like that, had that, ...)"
La cultura hispana es el molde y esencia de la cultura filipina, de sus valores creencias y su fé religiosa católica. Que los norteamericanos intentaron aniquilar con violencia ! Viva Filipinas hispana !!! Un abrazo desde Perú ❤
Amén hermano, un abrazo desde Madrid a todo el Virreinato del Perú!!! (capitán Perú)

Me encanto el video
Ang sarap magsalita ng espanol, napaka elegante...
Hay, talaga!
Tawag dyan walang originality😅✌️ sorry pero Mahal ko Yung Tagalog na salita dapat Tagalog Yung pinapasikat natin Hindi salita Ng iba hahhaa
You guys about Spanish and Spanish Dialects are blowing my mind! 😳
I MISSED THE PHILIPPINES!! MANILA IS A COSMOPOLITAN CITY THAT CATERS TO ALL NATIONALITIES!! IT IS MORE FUN!!!
Nosebleed ako dito, pero gusto ko ring matuto ng spanish hehe
Parang sarap pakinggan at magsalita Spanish. Hehe
I grew up in the Mission District in San Francisco. All I heard growing up there was Spanish ( I learned the bad words first from the local Latino kids 😂). I had Spanish in middle school, but I was bored silly with that. I figure why learn this? Tagalog and Kapampangan have Spanish words and all my peers at my young age spoke English. It was like trying to learn math when I had a calculator watch and a solar powered one in my backpack.
Nakakatuwa... sana sineryoso ko yung spanish subject ko noon
Esto es Loco. Sigo mirando los subtítulos pero entiendo más de la mitad de las veces. De verdad, recuerdo que cuando estoy en España la gente me llama Mexicano por mi acento. Muchos de ustedes también tienen ese acento. pero esto es supercool. Felicidades
Mi barrio mi mundo. Os apoyo desde Holanda.
Hola komo estan? Besos desde Mérida en España.... siempre mucho gusto de ver estos vídeos
Por cierto, hay un error en el vídeo cuando escribís “Insulares: full-blooded Spaniards born in the colonies”. Lo correcto sería “viceroyalties” que no es lo mismo, España no tenía colonias, esas eran y son las del mundo anglosajón, francés, etc.
Interesting fact - outside of the Philippines, when you meet someone who has very western (American) first name and Spanish sounding last name, and looking very Asian, safe to assume is a Filipino - ie. Denzel Ramirez, Gerard Dela Cruz, Ashley Velazquez, Nicole Castillo...
How I wish I could speak Spanish as fluent as them...ang sarap pakinggan😊
same though a lot of spanish words in bisaya
ewwwwww Spanish language is lustful and demonic. Stay away from it because it will make you sin and lazy. Like how lazy and poor and demonic the Hispanic countries are right now. If you want opportunity abroad learn Japanese, Korean, Chinese languages.
For Pilipinos: NEVER! promote colonial language like Spanish language because this is bad for the Philippines's ECONOMY, identity and nationalism.
Sa salitang bisaya talaga 30 % ay Spanish language,
kahit mag Spanish kayo ko rin dahil bisaya akong
native from Southern Leyte,..Hola guapa buenas
noches y dios ti bendiga desde Leyte del sur y

Nakita ko sa college class text book ng Mama ko nung nag aral sa PCC may Spanish language sila sana maibalik sa curriculum natin as part ng subject since 2nd largest known language sa mundo
There are so many Spanish words in the Filipino dialect

Yes, I'm also using Language Transfer . Very handy. 🤍
I'm a Pacific islander from Wake Island. My reason to learn Spanish is the same reason Indonesians, Malaysians, Japanese and Thais learn English. El idioma Castellano en mi país es el idioma Inglés en Indonesia, Malasia, Japón y Tailandia.
Muchas gracias. Buenos dias!
my tita and great grandparents speak Español and i was really glad when i learned that my tita learned it from school thinking i could also learn it when i get to high school but, unfortunately, it was taken out of curriculum of the said school by the time i'm in elementary. it really made me sad.
Wow love to watched this.
The Philippines 1970s and 80s curriculum both highschool and college Spanish is taught. It was removed by the ultranationalist in the 1987 Philippine constitution. But most dialects are embedded with Spanish terms, words and letters without them knowing.
Disadvantages of 1987 constitution
