“Almost everyone in the Philippines knows how to count in Spanish and they don’t even know it.” Omg this is so true! I was already an adult when I realized this. I remember asking myself “wait if isa, dalawa, tatlo is filipino, then uno, dos, tres is Spanish???” Yes, ladies and gentlemen, ang bobo ko po sa part na yun.
Most Spanish speakers can’t tell you how to properly say 21st, 30th, 102nd, etc in Spanish. Just to let you know 21st is not the same as veinte uno nor is 30th the same as trenta. To count properly for 1st to 9th, is as follows: primero, segundo, tercero, quatro, quinto, sesto, septo, octavo, noveno, etc. so it is incorrect when you say everyone knows how to count in Spanish when most cannot. Even my wife who is Mexican does not know how to properly say the equivalent.
lol that's too much exaggeration. Her over all presentation was good and it was comprehensive but there are some wrong information that she said that shouldn't be ignored like Ferdinand Magellan is not the one who named " Las Islas Felipinas" but rather it's Ruy Lopez de Villalobos. Second, Tagalog and Bisaya are not dialects. They are both languages that exist in the Philippines. Dialects are: Batangas Tagalog, Cavite Tagalog, Sinugbuanong Bisaya and etc. Not hating but yeah, just want to point that out.
@@justrandomthings709 To add, she should've said that we traded with the peoples or cultures from what are today the modern nations of China, Japan, and Taiwan instead of mentioning them as if they were already cohesive states. She also didn't provide more examples, but I guess she never meant the list to be exhaustive anyway. The inaccuracy irked me (though she never did claim to be a history expert), but moreso the people thinking this is perfect.
As a tagalog speaker who speaks Spanish and occasionally speaks Spanish more often than tagalog, the same thing happens to me. When your mouth is used to move a certain way, then you switch languages, it’s natural that one carries the intonation and accent across languages. I find the same thing happens with English when I am surrounded by Americans, I sound more American. When I am abroad and around people who have a different accent, then my accent adjusts as well.
I find it strange as kid that my great grandma spoke Bikol but cannot express excitement and anger in a any language but Spanish or as they call it Castillano. And my grandma would speak Tagalog not the way I speak it. I think I speak modern Tagalog while they speak the Tagalog of their time. My Great grandma was born 1892

After studying Spanish language in all years of high school and all years of college, I learnt Spanish when I immigrated to California and attended further schooling and earned A’s in Spanish, outpacing my Latino classmates who spoke Spanish at home and on the street. I think it helped me that I was bilingual and had an inkling of structural analysis. Now Spanish is beneficial to me in my present job.
I also noticed that Filipinos spell words in a phonetic way kind of like how Jamaicans do. It differs from the original Spanish words but usually means the same thing
my dad always told me he spoke fluent Spanish when he was in school, and when we went to Cuba for vacation it all came back to him. he really mixed it up with the locals it was so awesome to see
@@curiocurioso1740 English is adapted in conversations which resulted in Taglish - Tagalog and English. This is common practice across the Philippines where each region has its language or dialect mixed with English. When you visit the province, people will tend to talk to you in English over Filipino/Tagalog. The education system mostly operates in English. From my experience, the Filipino language is only taught in Filipino and History subjects but I think History is now taught in English. Mother Tongue subjects (regional languages) are now included in primary schools to preserve the language. Young parents talk to their children in English. There is also a huge BPO industry here. A common Filipino can speak English. It may not always be in good grammar but it is understandable.
@@curiocurioso1740 most of our subjects in school are written in English. We only have one subject in our own language mostly, Filipino, but the rest are all English. With the language part, we have over 100 dialects in the country.
Sadly, the Spanish Language is no longer part of academic education unlike before. I want to learn how to speak Spanish like before. On the other hand, English is also essential in communicating with other people nowadays and also Spanish. I think if Filipinos also know how to speak Spanish fluently, many opportunities will open to them especially in Spain or in Latin America. Speaking English has an advantage and I think also speaking Spanish because this language has a very huge advantage in communicating with other people or in entering every opportunity that countries speaking the same language has to offer.
I learned Spanish as an adult and it's true that it opens a lot of opportunities. I work in the BPO industry and the pay is very good for Spanish-speakers. ♥️
@@stephany6417 I AGREE!!! hope that Korean will replaced again by Spanish language or subject, cause its our "second" or primary language during the Spanish Era, as well as English during American Era. Truly its in the past and we should all move on from that, because if people will argue about it how about English brought by the Americans that made us fluent in it.... And gave Filipinos more opportunities in the US, UK or in Canada.
My god I hope you can learn the language of your hispanic brothers. I have some friends from Filipines and its astonishing what they tell me about your country...I hope to visit it and learn more about the history we share and was destroyed . I hope we could rebuild a lot of things from the past, improve, and help the filipines to be a rich country!
I'm Chamorro from Guam, and it's basically like the Philippines here haha. There's a lot of Spanish surnames here as well, but it's cool that my ancestors chose to have their clan name as their last name instead of chosing a Spanish one. My ancient clan name was "Båbaota" meaning "our battle flag" which is epic asf
According to my Mom, they had a Spanish subject before and it was mandatory but they didn’t really pay attention to it because they felt like they cannot use it further. But here I am now, a 22 year old ... trying very hard to learn the language haha. I’m proud to say that I can speak and understand it now (tho not that fluent). I wanted to learn this language because I feel like it is an important part of our identity. Hopefully one day, I can speak as fluent as you are. Gracias por esto video, Señora ❤️ Dios te bendiga.

I lived in the Philippines back in the late 60s and noticed some Spanish words in Tagalog as you say. Loved the Philippines but found a home here in Bucerias Mexico a few years back moving here from Texas.
I'm from Zamboanga and can speak Chavacano. I have a spanish collegue and whenever we have conversations. She speaks spanish and I chavacano, it feels like, Chavacano is a dialect from Spain. We understand each other.
@@PhilipNdukwe With the subsequent migration of Ilonggo traders to Zamboanga, the Zamboangueño Chavacano was infused with Hiligaynon words as the previous migrant community was assimilated. Most of what appears to be Cebuano words in Zamboangueño Chavacano are actually Hiligaynon. There is also Caviteño Chavacano, maybe this Chavacano has more words in Tagalog, considering it's in Luzon. edit: * I don't know which language will I reply.

Filipino and Spanish have similar pronunciation, that’s why Spanish blends in so well with Filipino, you don’t even notice you’re speaking Spanish and Tagalog. Unlike English which has a totally different sound so it doesn’t flow in as well
Spanish used to be the lingua franca and thus was part of the school curriculum. My mom said she learned Spanish in Uni. Of course the lingua franca now is English.
@@antoinegriezmann4852 yeah, i get that too when im overseas. They never guessed that im filipino but thats fine. The Philippines is so diverse that we have 3 standards of beauty because we just dont look alike
Yeah, your government can literally hire spanish speakers to schools for students to teach them, and it's one of the best way to bring back again spanish as one of your official languages since Phillipines have a "spanish 4,000 words starterpack". I wish y'all can communicate again to hispanohablantes which basically means spanish speakers like me such as latinos like mexicanos and more.
Trishaaa! Watching you feels like watching CNN! I started learning Spanish last year during Quarantine through Speak Social where I volunteered to teach English in exchange of learning other languages. Most of my classmates were either from Portugal, Italy or Russia and some of them when they heard of my last name Reyes asked if I have a Spanish blood. They were even surprised why I know a lot of Spanish words. Hahaha
WHY PILIPINO DONT SPEAK SPANISH? WHAT A STUPID QUESTION " WHY BECAUSE WE ARE NOT SPANISH , WE HAVE OUR VERY OWNED LANGUAGE ! SPANISH CONQUERED PHILIPPINES AND SLAVES PILIPINO THATS WHAT THEY ARE !! AND IM NOT PROUD OF IT !!
@@isabelespejo7566 Many Spanish-speaking countries have inhabitants who are not Spanish or of Spanish descent. Some are descendants of African slaves or of Indigenous people. Yet, those populations happen to be fluent in Spanish. There is even one country in South America which is almost totally bilingual, that is Paraguay. Even white people there are conversant in both Spanish and Guaraní, the indigenous language of the country.
It depends on the generation and when you were born and where you come from. My mother’s family is from Manila and Cavite. My maternal grandmother spoke Chabacano (de Cavite, not ‘Chavacano’ de Zamboanga). My maternal grandfather was born in Manila, his family is from Nueva Ecija and Bulacan and Pampanga, and yet he spoke fluent Spanish. My mother’s maternal grandfather (my great grandfather) spoke fluent Castilian Spanish. When my grandmother would go to bed at night, she prayed in Spanish because it was how she learned her prayers in Cavite, though at home she spoke Chabacano. Spanish was not ‘foreign’ in my home nor my family. My mother and father spoke Tagalog, but my mother learned Spanish in school/ college. I learned Spanish in high school, but that is because I grew up in San Diego, California, so for me it was practical. Spanish was never foreign to me nor my family. Spanish and Hispanic customs were very common in my family. Part of my roots lie in Spain as well as in Mexico, at least culturally if not ethnically in my blood line as well. I am proud of being a ‘mutt’ (mixed blood) not this nonsense bs of being “100% Pinoy” . Maybe if my ancestors were Hanuno’o, or Kankanaey, or T’boli. But they were not. I recognize my Asian and Pacific Islander roots and heritage but also my Hispanic and Indigenous American roots. Es triste que hoy dia, el Castellano es una cosa estrangera para muchos Filipinos y que no hablan ni un poco de español. Pero, así es.
Blue tiger lozano. I totally agree with you. It's a pity that many filipinos consider Spanish "a foreign language". After more than three centuries of Spanish presence in the Philippines, that influence should have taken hold of some filipino culture and traits, thus becoming a true filipino language, just like the other languages of the Philippines. the true filipino Spanish language. Unfortunately, nationalism and the historic negative attitude of the Americans versus Spanish seem to play a role. Nowadays, many filipinos seem it necessary to downplay the importance of this culture and language in the history of the Philippines.
si apesar de que el español en las filipinas como lengua nativa fue solo el 20% sin contar a los de segunda lengua cuando llegaron esatados unidos y la gverra filipino-estadounidense junto con la invasion japonesa y la batalla de manila extermino a la mayoria de hispano filipinos ya sea meztisos o decendientes de españoles y segunda lengua dejando al final solo al 6% de la poblacion y la proagando anti española estado unidense no ayudó en nada. sino filipinas seguiria siendo hispano
This is really cool, I loved this explanation. ¡Saludos desde México! Latinoamericanos tend to culturally consider Filipinos as our distant Asian cousins!
Another important reason why the Spanish language was extinguished was the mass killings by the Japanese and American firepower during WW2 (especially during the Battle of Manila in 1945). The Spanish heart of the Philippines was leveled and many Spanish speaking families perished in Manila (there was an estimated 300,000 Spanish speakers in large cities before the war).
Tagalog, Bisaya, Bikolano, Ilokano and so on will be considered as a language it is far different from dialect. Which the dialect is somehow the variations of pronunciation, accent and etc. Like tagalog-batangas, tagalog-quezon, tagalog-rizal, etc
Genuine question. I'm a Bicolano and there are three distinct Bicol language(?) within the Bicol region, meaning, different words and how we say it, but some words are common all across three variations. How are these classified?language or dialect? Edit: or sublanguage?(is this a thing?)
@@silynita sir, vocabulary itself is part of a language. Native speaker always have it. What I want to imply is that same words across the dialects is normal. You may classify it as dialect once it is being pronounce differently. Variations somehow can be found thru phonology.
@@Dos62596 if that we're the case there are at least 3 different Bicol languages because these 3 are noticeably distinct from each other in terms of words and pronunciation
@@silynita still sir if this language that you so called Bikolano Language still Bikolano then, but Dialects to be considered. Is there a particular place where that variations of Bikolano used? For example Bikolano Naga, Bikolano Albay?
@@Dos62596 these are the three major Bicol variations that i know of: Bicol Albay ( in Albay and Legaspi areas), Rinconada( in parts of Baao and Nabua). These two places have local tribes from what I remember, probable reason why it's so distinct), Bicol Naga( not only used in Naga but also in Partido Area, even in other places like Catanduanes, Masbate, the rest with slight variations)
Thank you for this excellent presentation, Ms.Velarmino. I believe another reason that Filipinos do not speak Spanish is that when the Spanish friars converted the locals to Christianity or Roman Catholicism, they used the vernacular language rather than Spanish by translating Doctrina Christiana in the local language. But hopefully you continue enlightening everyone regarding the Philippines and its connections with Spain, Mexico and the world..
I remember reciting "ultimo adios" Spanish version of my last farewell, because I picked that among the lottery system, It was fun speaking it in Spanish and our teacher in 21st century even told us that learning Spanish is great and beneficial! edit : "Mi ultimo adios" olvido la primera palabra XD
I remember Memorizing and reciting "Mi Ultimo Adios" just to guarantee a passing grade at my Spanish 2 Class in the University because I missed a lot of classes and quizzes. Our professor set out a challenge that any student that can Memorize and recite Mi Ultimo Adios will get automatically get 1.0 ( highest grade) in the final grade no matter what grade standing before. So I, spent a week Memorizing it. and i got that 1.0/

@@peterpuday6437 Lol but shouldn't you hate their ancestors not the Spaniards today who have nothing to do with the colonization. Use your tiny ass brain.
@@jrexx2841 But why so many hate Americans then. Look at the comment section. They are shitting on English being the International language or "lingua franca". And the funny thing is most of them didn't know that english stems or origins came from proletariats or commoners. They thought that language it must've been a language used by upper class people and that's why it so popular because the ones using it before (medieval times) are elites. Being a person who studies language and French history I wheezed.
I'm from the Philippines, even though i never heard that, we Filipinos love to use the spanish word 'Pero, kutsarita, sais, uno, tres, kwatro, nuebe, singko, kumusta, (como esta) etc. We can't speak without the spanish word because that's what we're used to than in tagalog, there are many places here where people like to speak the spanish word, especially in Mindanao, cebu, cavite, manila, davao, in some other provinces. I watched Asian Boss Español, they interviewed Filipinos to see if they could not use the Spanish word. We can't speak without the Spanish word because that's what we're used to, compared to Tagalog. And it's really hard to speak tagalog without spanish word
@@ukspankedyank yes you can say that it's indigenous. Actually Tagalog can be independent with spanish however it would be a "deep tagalog/original tagalog/old tagalog". But since language is dynamic tagalog with spanish is considered tagalog nevertheless just as the old tagalog being influenced by the languages of neighbor countries in the indo pacific region.
@@ukspankedyank Tagalog is a language spoken mainly in certain regions adjacent to the capitol. In 1987, a law was enacted to come up with a national language called Filipino. It is a standardized/levelled up Tagalog with infusions of Spanish, English, Chinese, Malay and even Indian words (yes Virginia, there are over 300 Indian loanwords of Bhramic/Sanskrit in origin), using 28 characters - 26 latin alphabet + the Spanish ñ + the "ng" digraph.
I am thinking of going to school to learn to speak Spanish but When I watched the last part of your video you said that you learn Spanish language by communicating to the Spanish speaking people its amazing your Spanish is perfect.
my great grandfather was pure Spanish, only 2 of my dads siblings knew how to speak in Spanish, my dad understood the language tho hes not fluent at it, hes more comfortable speaking in Tagalog, my sister had Spanish language in their curriculum since the late 90s they stopped teaching it tho. i really wanted to learn it too, but now I'm trying to convince my kid to learn it, lol 😂.
Your account about Spanish in the Philippines is very accurate. Spanish language lives on in Filipino culture in loan words and word origins. It lives very strongly in the Chavacano language. Languages throughout the islands are absorbing a lot of English in their own merry ways. And a very interesting bilingual continuum of Tagalog and English is quite evident in Manila.
Call me crazy but I'm very interested to visit all spanish speaking country wether they're rich or poor country... Im just very interested with their culture and language. Soy filipina🙂
Anung Soy Filipina? Ako ay Filipina! Hindi ka pinoy kung mamahalin mo ang mga nanakop at chuchupain mo ang mga Spanish na yan na parang isa ka nilang alipin.! You are stupid, sa tagalog...Tangina mo!

Spanish language is a great language and you speak very well. Very informative delivery but never boring. Thanks for the info. Glad i found ur channel. RUclips is giving me great recommendations lately.
Very historical and informative. I always wondered why the Philippines didn’t assimilate Spanish language as we did in Latin America. She speaks both Spanish & English perfectly
My great great grandfather was a peninsular Spaniard, ( Linares) thus making my father a mestizo. They spoke fluent Spanish amongst his siblings, prayed in Spanish. I learned Spanish when it was taught to us in High School, & college as part of the curriculum.My father taught & spoke to us in English often, but also spoke Pampango since we were all born in Pampanga.

Hi, Trisha. You speak Spanish well. Good to know you learned from the streets. Like you, I often travel to Latin America and I must say, it felt like I never left the Philippines at all. We are more Latino than Asians in many ways! And yes, everytime I speak to the locals, they would ask how I learned Spanish and thought everyone speaks the language. A woman complimented me and said I got good Spanish accent. Great content you have. Congratulations.
Our ancestors spoke spanish but in rural areas they still speak our native language. You need a ton of pride to preserve your own culture and we have exactly that. Accents in certain province are also maintained! Cavite, bulacan, batangas and quezon province all speak tagalog but you can differentiate which place they're from base on their accent.
Laguna - Malumanay/Sweet/Calm Batangas - Very Strong with verbal mannerisms such as "ga", "ala e", "ganire", etc. Cavite - Similar to Manilenyos but stronger Rizal - Similar to Manilenyos but calmer/mountain ish Quezon - Strong (not as strong as Batangas), has verbal mannerisms that doesn't sound Tagalog. 😂
Filipino would be a superpower (hyperbole) if they spoke Spanish to this day. Combined with speaking native tongue (people who also speak other dialects of the Philippines), the official filipino language (tagalog), and english, they would have a very big impact in global trade for Asia and America as their geography also works well to their favor.
If only Filipinos would come to terms with their past and fully accept Spanish influence of our culture just as they have obviously accepted American. Whether Filipinos like it or not, the events that have happened is what shaped our identity today in religion, culture, traditions, etc. Only then I think we will be able to move on and develop as a country instead of being blindly angry at the past.
I could listen to you all day in any of the multiple languages you speak! I adore your accent. Great topic and video as well on a subject I have often wondered about myself but never researched.
Interesting! I only learned Spanish from school, when I was in college taking up History from 2001 to 2005. Because it was a mandatory subject so we are obliged to take up Spanish language subject (9 units plus basic lessons from Instituto Cervantes). I am short tongued so it was a challenge plus our Spanish at class was Castilian because two of my Spanish language instructors were Castilian descent.
Oh wow! I'm preparing myself to migrate to Spain. This is inspiring that you can speak Spanish well without formal lesson. When I was in HS in Philippines we have 2yrs subject and 2yrs in college. I truly regret not using it.
I really appreciate your interest in the Spanish language. I also like the Tagalog language. I visited the Philippines a couple years ago, and I really like the country and the culture. Hopefully, I will visit again soon. Gustong-gusto ko ang Pilipinas! 🇵🇭
to be honest, it's Spain's fault why Spanish is not spoken in the Philippines. They intentionally prevented Filipinos from learning and speaking Spanish. Why? because having one language, Filipinos can easily communicate with each other despite having their own native languages, this will cause them to plot revolutions and rebellions easily against the Spanish empire. So, what did the Spanish Priests do? learned the native languages of the Philippines to convince them even more to convert to Catholicism. This ensured their grip of power over the islands. Only the rich people like Jose Rizal was allowed to learn Spanish. The Indios (typical/normal native filipinos) were left with their original languages. That's why compared to Latin America where their native languages became extinct, the Philippines' did not despite 3 centuries of Spanish rule. That should make Filipinos grateful. We still have our identity.
I really love Spanish. I mean I love learning languages but it’s the language that I really focused on. Took me almost 8-9 years to study it (because I’m just studying by myself) I only got serious about it 3 years ago and now I can speak with natives online (through call) in order to practice my Spanish. Nowhere near fluent but I just love everything about this language. ❤️ Edit: Your accent in Spanish is sooo good! 😭😭
@Bad Cooky i feel it is nice to have real filipino last names than having foreign spanish last names. im glad those filipino last names have survived during 330 years occupation
@@jbn03canada Spaniards used to be a people very respectful of hierarchies, whether that be noblemen or royals. They also respected hierarchy in the lands they incorporated.

Trisha, I still remember when my eldest sister was in college, she used to have a Spanish subject at Adamson University. And then Dep't of Education for some reason dissolved it. In my opinion, it shouldn't be dissolve. Why? Its an advantage to us Filipino to learn multi language. Imagine how many other countries speak Spanish and this country are rich and people choose to stay in this countries.
I'm from Zamboanga, and a Chavacano. Even the Chavacano language is slowly fading until they mandatorily include it in primary schools. I love your video btw, it's full of facts!

Your spanish is too basic! :D Just saying, my spanish friends don't speak the way you do, In modern times, you'd be considered as ''Old English''. Lusaw na yan!
Watching Filipino TV shows here in the US, it seems like about 10% of the words are Spanish, up to another 10% are English, and you can pick up a lot of meaning through context and body language.
30% at least. Even ung mga dates, months, time and also some conjuctions and prepositions are adapted from Spanish language. Yung ibang words like asukal (azúcar), dyabetis (diabetes), etc. are "salitang siyokoy" wherein Spanish or English words are adapted based on how most Native Filipinos would pronounce them.
@@ajgo2145 "Asukar" actually came from Arabic. The Arab-speaking world near the Iberian peninsula brought the word (and a lot of other words in their vocabulary) to the peninsula and it is Spain that also brought the word here.
I’m a half Filipino American and as a language/culture nerd this subject is really fascinating to me, thanks for the great video! Also now it makes sense why my mom seemingly randomly taught me how to count in Spanish (in addition to Tagalog) as a child, lol
Spain also had a major influence in the Philippines' legal system which exists even to this day. Although laws are in English, the Philippine legal system follows the civil law system which it inherited from Spain, this is in contrast to the Anglo-American common law which the US uses. Also, many Spanish terms were retained in certain laws. For instance, the nomenclature of penalties as to duration of imprisonment provided under the Philippine Revised Penal Code are in Spanish, e.g. reclusion perpetua (20 years and 1 day to 40 years); reclusion temporal (12 years and 1 day to 20 years); prision correccional (6 months and 1 day to 6 years); and destierro (banishment from residing within a radius of 25 km from the residence of the accused). The Philippine Civil Code also uses Spanish terms: e.g. dacion en pago (dation in payment); reserva troncal, reserva maxima and reserva minima (concepts pertaining to reservation of certain properties in succession); fideicomisario (trustee); and accion reinvindicatoria (action to recover ownership).

Hi there, very Interesting video, But you got few things wrong, I'll correct them if you don't mind. Small points but I'll make it as detailed as possible. 1.) No true cultural assimilation - Actually, the Filipino culture itself, is a hybrid culture of; Austronesian, Spanish and Chinese cultures. Things like, Bahay na bato, Earthquake baroque, folk dances such as Tinikling, Cariñosa, La Jota (Manileña / Cagayana / Caviteña etc.), Barong, Baro't saya(Maria Clara, Kimona, Terno etc.), Kundiman, Harana, Catholicism, Kutkut art, Estilo Tampinco art, and many more, together with all the foods you just mention. Those cultures are the main practice of Insulares, mestizos, Indios, chinos, from rich to poor a like. Except of course, for the, todays, autonomous areas, or areas seeking autonomy, or places only annexed by the Philippines much later in history; like the Moros, Cordillerans, Lumads, and Negritos. Like any other territory of Spain or other empires of the world, there will always be a cultural assimilation. 2.) It will be an overstatement to say that there was no true linguistic assimilation given that Tagalog itself has 33% root word that are of Spanish in origin, and me being a Taglog and Cebuano speaker can definitely say, Cebuano has a lot more. And of course, as you said, the Chavacano, which is by the way, not a pidgin, but a creole (there's a big difference). In the past, Chavacano was not only spoken in Zamboanga, there's also a variant in Cavite. Then, there is the Cervantes Institute who estimated that at the beginning of the 20th century, there was an estimated 60 per cent of Filipinos who spoke Spanish as their second language, That doesn't even include the native speakers with loanwords(which at that time in much greater number of loanwords than what we have today. In 1846, French traveler Jean Baptiste Mallat was surprised at how advanced Philippine schools were. In fact, the national language of the first Republic of the Philippines is Spanish. It was the language of the Philippine Revolution and the country's first official language, as proclaimed in the Malolos Constitution of the First Philippine Republic in 1899. Before the 19th century, Philippine revolts were small-scale. Since they did not extend beyond linguistic boundaries, they were easily neutralized by Spanish forces. They were not nationalist, they were mostly just regionalist uprising(for example Diego Silang only intended to free Ilocos and not the whole Philippines). With the small period of the spread of Spanish through a free public school system (1863) and the rise of an educated class, nationalists from different parts of the archipelago were able to communicate in a common language. It was the language of commerce, law, politics and the arts during the colonial period and well into the 20th century. So I don't really know what you mean by assimilated. The only things that really ended it is, as you said is, the huge American influence and then the post Third Republic constitutions, and the greatest of all, Anti culture modernism expressions. 3.) The Ilustrados, the propagators of Filipino nationalism, actually propagates Spain to reform the Philippines and to make it a province, and not to "distinguish themselves to their colonizers" like you said. The closest thing to a separatism is the popular idea within those Ilustado sentiment to make the Philippines a province of Spain, then gradually lead to independence to a peaceful recognition of Spain as colonial mother and not as an enemy, and also to its cultural contributions. Kind of like what happened to Philippines and America instead. A lot of modern Filipinos today may raise their eyebrows to that, but back then, people have a very different view of nationalism than what we have today. After all, nationalism is just a construct, But that kind of nationalism of Ilustrados is actually the idea that started the Philippine nationalism which eventually led to revolution. But even in revolution, Philippine didn't fully "distinguish themselves to Spain". Again, the First Republic of the Philippines, still uses Spanish, and was used to write the Constitution of Biak-na-Bato, Malolos Constitution, the original national anthem, Himno Nacional Filipino, as well as nationalistic propaganda material and literature. They immediately made friend with Spain after independence. In fact one of the popular form of protests during the American era is speaking and writing in Spanish.
in 1973 spanish was still part of high school curriculum... even up to 1974 and 1975 during college spanish subjects was taught in first year to 4rth year college in private schools..
It was in 1543 Spanish expedition leader Ruy Lopez de Villalobos which designated Felipina/Felipinas for the Island of Leyte which the natives called Tandaya. Islas San Lazarus was the name given by Magellan in 1521.
I don't have Spanish last name. except for my great grandmother which is Gonzales. But I really do believe that the main reason why we do not speak Spanish anymore it's because Americans colonized us and maybe because some of our heroes want us to be different among the rest of the world. But according to my mom & my aunt they have Spanish subjects in HS. I do think that if we still speak Spanish, our country woulda been so different. We will not be having a hard time communicating with the Latinos.
@@enricocamilon3984 not really, also the medium class were able to speak spanish, emiliano acused the unitedstates that even thoguh the american educational sistem was better then the spanish, still 50% of the population were educated people.
Part of my childhood is listening to Radio stations in Zamboanga although so far from our place. There's no signal from nearby Cotabato city and Dadiangas (Gensan). Perhaps that's how I began to love Spanish
I’m American by citizenship (born and raised) but I’m Filipino by ethnicity (both parents are from the Philippines). Although I live in Hawaii where I’m basically right in between both countries in a geographical context. That being said, I’ve taken it upon myself to learn Spanish due to the steadily growing population of Latinos coming to the Hawaiian islands. And I’ve always viewed Spanish-speaking Latinos like Mexicans as my cultural cousins. I even have a Mexican friend who I try to stay connected to and we’re basically close friends at this point. She even approves of the way I speak Spanish in some occasions and is well aware that Filipinos already know some Spanish due to historical and cultural influences by Spain and by Mexico in particular. In one instance, I actually spoke perfect Spanish to a Chilean customer although he mistook me for a Latino due to the color of my light-brown skin. I don’t know what he said to me but I said to him “Lo siento, señor. No soy Latino, soy Filipino.” And he had the most hilariously confused face I’ve ever seen in my life. I even told my Mexican friend this and she was laughing at that poor man. And also praised my Spanish as well. This also inspired me to write a fictional story about a young Filipino man and a young Mexican woman. Both of which speak in American-accented English. You might think it’s a romance story but that’s not necessarily the case. It’s actually more of an action crime thriller because they both decide to ally with one another due to a shared tragedy they both experienced in their lives. Plus the guy kinda likes her so there’s that. Edit: I also feel like Filipinos that wish to move to the United States may want consider learning Spanish while still retaining English and their native tongue. The reason why I think Spanish should be considered is because many parts of the United States, most especially in the Southwestern areas like Southern California, New Mexico, Arizona, and Texas have a strong Spanish-speaking presence mostly because of so many Mexicans living in those areas. Plus Spanish is the second-most spoken language in the country right after English.
I agree with you that Spanish is essential living in America. Once in the subway in Manhattan, a Latino approached me and obviously asking for direction, I told him "mi no habla Español. I'm a Filipino." He looked at me perplexed, and walk away a few seconds with profuse apologies
My grandpa travelled around the whole world, so he knew spanish and was born while the WW2 was going on. He knows a lot of languages and I'm also learning spanish. The reason why we don't speak it is because they don't teach us that often anymore, or it's because I know some(or most) elders still despise the Spaniards, and/or some doesn't really flex it to younger ones. I've heard my grandfather speak in spanish to a church leader nun before, and oh boy was I interested in the conversation. I understood some, and they were just talking about how the Philippines don't teach spanish anymore. I am still a beginner in spanish, but I think we don't speak Spanish because we didn't grow up hearing or learning them(even though Philippines has some words.)
yeah is the perception some have with the spanish langauge, they relate the spanish language as just the language of spaniards, inlike the latin american countries tha perceive the spanish langauge as its own langauge since they have its unique accent, voacbulary and slang tht diferentiate from th e spanish from spain also the people who fought aginst the spaniards saw the language as a tool agianst the spaniard and she didn't tell the whole history though, she missed some information, like before the american ocupation in the philippines were around 20% of proficient spanish speakers, after the ocupation and filipinos american war, a lot of spanish speakers were erased by us armada, reducing one sixth of the population , the the japanese and finally the battle of manila bombarding on intramuros, going from 20% of speakers before the first war with the states down to 3% after independece. also like she said spanish was going to be a oficial national langauge before the american ocupation, but since that happens the philippines adopt the language of tis last colonizer as any other colonized country would do

Estudiar español es una buena idea de reducir la estrés durante la pandemia. Así que se dedica mucho tiempo en otra cosa más que cuando esté ocupado con el problema sin una respuesta clara. Además, es tan facíl aprenderlo porque saber inglés y tagalo se significa la habilidad de comprender más de los contextos escribido en español. Sólo estudiaba los últimos siete meses el español porque había sentido como un hombre deprimido. Me agradecía tener el tiempo para dedicar bastante tiempo a aprenderlo sin ayuda de las instituciónes españoles apropriados o sin gastar un centimo para dominarlo.
¡Excelente! ... es impresionante el avance que has logrado con el idioma, con todo y que estudias el español por tus propios medios, según lo que comentas... te felicito ... Saludos cordiales desde Venezuela.

Great video! I have a friend who is Filipina, even if her family immigrated to Spain when she was 14. When I met her I was convinced she was either Spanish with Latin America origins or simply Latina. Her surname is Villanueva and she speaks with a veeeeeeery, almost not noticeable, slight accent, so I really had no idea she was from Filipinas until she told me. It's very cool when she teaches me words in Tagalog and we discuss the similarities between the languages. Thank you for making me learn more with this video!
If I’m not mistaken Spanish subject was being thought in school before but they stopped it. So I guess, es uno de los rezones que Filipinos no hablan español pero ahora creo que hay muchos filipinos estudiando español just like me porque oportunidad para trabajar en centro de llamadas como bilingüe y ganadora mas dinero como solo habla en inglés
“Almost everyone in the Philippines knows how to count in Spanish and they don’t even know it.” Omg this is so true! I was already an adult when I realized this. I remember asking myself “wait if isa, dalawa, tatlo is filipino, then uno, dos, tres is Spanish???” Yes, ladies and gentlemen, ang bobo ko po sa part na yun.
Most Spanish speakers can’t tell you how to properly say 21st, 30th, 102nd, etc in Spanish. Just to let you know 21st is not the same as veinte uno nor is 30th the same as trenta. To count properly for 1st to 9th, is as follows: primero, segundo, tercero, quatro, quinto, sesto, septo, octavo, noveno, etc. so it is incorrect when you say everyone knows how to count in Spanish when most cannot. Even my wife who is Mexican does not know how to properly say the equivalent.
😂😂 samedth.

If I were her AP teacher, I would give a perfect grade coz she has proved that she was really listening to my lectures.
lol that's too much exaggeration. Her over all presentation was good and it was comprehensive but there are some wrong information that she said that shouldn't be ignored like Ferdinand Magellan is not the one who named " Las Islas Felipinas" but rather it's Ruy Lopez de Villalobos. Second, Tagalog and Bisaya are not dialects. They are both languages that exist in the Philippines. Dialects are: Batangas Tagalog, Cavite Tagalog, Sinugbuanong Bisaya and etc. Not hating but yeah, just want to point that out.
Note: AP is history(and geography) but in the Philippines
@@justrandomthings709 To add, she should've said that we traded with the peoples or cultures from what are today the modern nations of China, Japan, and Taiwan instead of mentioning them as if they were already cohesive states. She also didn't provide more examples, but I guess she never meant the list to be exhaustive anyway.
The inaccuracy irked me (though she never did claim to be a history expert), but moreso the people thinking this is perfect.

Her Spanish accent affects the way she speaks Tagalog which is quite interesting
That was intentional. Sounds waay cooler yea?
If Indonesian, sounds like a bit of Dutch accent.
I'm native Spanish speaker, she has a delicious pronunciation of the S, just like in the ancient Spanish.
As a tagalog speaker who speaks Spanish and occasionally speaks Spanish more often than tagalog, the same thing happens to me. When your mouth is used to move a certain way, then you switch languages, it’s natural that one carries the intonation and accent across languages.
I find the same thing happens with English when I am surrounded by Americans, I sound more American. When I am abroad and around people who have a different accent, then my accent adjusts as well.

After studying Spanish language in all years of high school and all years of college, I learnt Spanish when I immigrated to California and attended further schooling and earned A’s in Spanish, outpacing my Latino classmates who spoke Spanish at home and on the street. I think it helped me that I was bilingual and had an inkling of structural analysis. Now Spanish is beneficial to me in my present job.
I also noticed that Filipinos spell words in a phonetic way kind of like how Jamaicans do. It differs from the original Spanish words but usually means the same thing

my dad always told me he spoke fluent Spanish when he was in school, and when we went to Cuba for vacation it all came back to him. he really mixed it up with the locals it was so awesome to see

Hello from Brazil. On Philippines English is spoken in the street, or just in education system?
@@curiocurioso1740 English is adapted in conversations which resulted in Taglish - Tagalog and English. This is common practice across the Philippines where each region has its language or dialect mixed with English. When you visit the province, people will tend to talk to you in English over Filipino/Tagalog.
The education system mostly operates in English. From my experience, the Filipino language is only taught in Filipino and History subjects but I think History is now taught in English. Mother Tongue subjects (regional languages) are now included in primary schools to preserve the language. Young parents talk to their children in English. There is also a huge BPO industry here.
A common Filipino can speak English. It may not always be in good grammar but it is understandable.
@@jrayDujenio Thanks for the answer, It is difficult to me understand because in Brazil we speak just one language, Portuguese.
@@curiocurioso1740 most of our subjects in school are written in English. We only have one subject in our own language mostly, Filipino, but the rest are all English.
With the language part, we have over 100 dialects in the country.
@@LupinLupinLupin thanks for the answer, I watched a video about the history of Philippines, looks fascinating.
Sadly, the Spanish Language is no longer part of academic education unlike before. I want to learn how to speak Spanish like before. On the other hand, English is also essential in communicating with other people nowadays and also Spanish. I think if Filipinos also know how to speak Spanish fluently, many opportunities will open to them especially in Spain or in Latin America.
Speaking English has an advantage and I think also speaking Spanish because this language has a very huge advantage in communicating with other people or in entering every opportunity that countries speaking the same language has to offer.
I learned Spanish as an adult and it's true that it opens a lot of opportunities. I work in the BPO industry and the pay is very good for Spanish-speakers. ♥️

And gave Filipinos more opportunities in the US, UK or in Canada.

It depends on the generation and when you were born and where you come from.
My mother’s family is from Manila and Cavite.
My maternal grandmother spoke Chabacano (de Cavite, not ‘Chavacano’ de Zamboanga).
My maternal grandfather was born in Manila, his family is from Nueva Ecija and Bulacan and Pampanga, and yet he spoke fluent Spanish.

Spanish was not ‘foreign’ in my home nor my family.
My mother and father spoke Tagalog, but my mother learned Spanish in school/ college.
I learned Spanish in high school, but that is because I grew up in San Diego, California, so for me it was practical.

Blue tiger lozano. I totally agree with you. It's a pity that many filipinos consider Spanish "a foreign language". After more than three centuries of Spanish presence in the Philippines, that influence should have taken hold of some filipino culture and traits, thus becoming a true filipino language, just like the other languages of the Philippines. the true filipino Spanish language. Unfortunately, nationalism and the historic negative attitude of the Americans versus Spanish seem to play a role. Nowadays, many filipinos seem it necessary to downplay the importance of this culture and language in the history of the Philippines.
si apesar de que el español en las filipinas como lengua nativa fue solo el 20% sin contar a los de segunda lengua cuando llegaron esatados unidos y la gverra filipino-estadounidense junto con la invasion japonesa y la batalla de manila extermino a la mayoria de hispano filipinos ya sea meztisos o decendientes de españoles y segunda lengua dejando al final solo al 6% de la poblacion y la proagando anti española estado unidense no ayudó en nada. sino filipinas seguiria siendo hispano

Another important reason why the Spanish language was extinguished was the mass killings by the Japanese and American firepower during WW2 (especially during the Battle of Manila in 1945). The Spanish heart of the Philippines was leveled and many Spanish speaking families perished in Manila (there was an estimated 300,000 Spanish speakers in large cities before the war).

Spanish is a good language to learn, spoken in spain and the whole of central/south america.
And in the united states too
Except Guyana, Surinam and French Guiana, plus not all Brazilians do 😕
But yea the rest do 😊
@@strand195 even belize in central America .
Yeah it's a universal language like English that opens up a lot of places in the Americas, Africa and Europe.
And Mexico in North America.
Thank you for this excellent presentation, Ms.Velarmino. I believe another reason that
Filipinos do not speak Spanish is that when the Spanish friars converted the locals to Christianity or Roman Catholicism, they used the vernacular language rather than Spanish by translating Doctrina Christiana in the local language. But hopefully you continue enlightening everyone regarding the Philippines and its connections with Spain, Mexico and the world..
Fun video and comment section 👀, it is good to see what Filipinos think about this topic. Greetings from Colombia 🇨🇴

I remember reciting "ultimo adios" Spanish version of my last farewell, because I picked that among the lottery system, It was fun speaking it in Spanish and our teacher in 21st century even told us that learning Spanish is great and beneficial!
edit : "Mi ultimo adios" olvido la primera palabra XD
I remember Memorizing and reciting "Mi Ultimo Adios" just to guarantee a passing grade at my Spanish 2 Class in the University because I missed a lot of classes and quizzes. Our professor set out a challenge that any student that can Memorize and recite Mi Ultimo Adios will get automatically get 1.0 ( highest grade) in the final grade no matter what grade standing before. So I, spent a week Memorizing it. and i got that 1.0/
during our spanish subject quizzes,we just copy each others answer.never learned something from that subject..but no regrets,doesn’t make sense.

I'm from the Philippines, even though i never heard that, we Filipinos love to use the spanish word 'Pero, kutsarita, sais, uno, tres, kwatro, nuebe, singko, kumusta, (como esta) etc. We can't speak without the spanish word because that's what we're used to than in tagalog, there are many places here where people like to speak the spanish word, especially in Mindanao, cebu, cavite, manila, davao, in some other provinces. I watched Asian Boss Español, they interviewed Filipinos to see if they could not use the Spanish word. We can't speak without the Spanish word because that's what we're used to, compared to Tagalog. And it's really hard to speak tagalog without spanish word
Istuka Ma'am
The parts of Tagalog that are not Spanish are what? Indigenous?
@@ukspankedyank yes you can say that it's indigenous. Actually Tagalog can be independent with spanish however it would be a "deep tagalog/original tagalog/old tagalog". But since language is dynamic tagalog with spanish is considered tagalog nevertheless just as the old tagalog being influenced by the languages of neighbor countries in the indo pacific region.
@@ukspankedyank Tagalog is a language spoken mainly in certain regions adjacent to the capitol. In 1987, a law was enacted to come up with a national language called Filipino. It is a standardized/levelled up Tagalog with infusions of Spanish, English, Chinese, Malay and even Indian words (yes Virginia, there are over 300 Indian loanwords of Bhramic/Sanskrit in origin), using 28 characters - 26 latin alphabet + the Spanish ñ + the "ng" digraph.
Until now spanish is mandatory subject under k-12 here in zamboanga city.

Your account about Spanish in the Philippines is very accurate. Spanish language lives on in Filipino culture in loan words and word origins. It lives very strongly in the Chavacano language. Languages throughout the islands are absorbing a lot of English in their own merry ways. And a very interesting bilingual continuum of Tagalog and English is quite evident in Manila.
😳🤔🧐😢

Very historical and informative. I always wondered why the Philippines didn’t assimilate Spanish language as we did in Latin America. She speaks both Spanish & English perfectly
My great great grandfather was a peninsular Spaniard, ( Linares) thus making my father a mestizo. They spoke fluent Spanish amongst his siblings, prayed in Spanish. I learned Spanish when it was taught to us in High School, & college as part of the curriculum.My father taught & spoke to us in English often, but also spoke Pampango since we were all born in Pampanga.

Hi, Trisha. You speak Spanish well. Good to know you learned from the streets. Like you, I often travel to Latin America and I must say, it felt like I never left the Philippines at all. We are more Latino than Asians in many ways! And yes, everytime I speak to the locals, they would ask how I learned Spanish and thought everyone speaks the language. A woman complimented me and said I got good Spanish accent. Great content you have. Congratulations.
Thank you so much for explaining this subject. I am Filipino American. People are shock that I speak fluent Cebuano and look hispanic.
Our ancestors spoke spanish but in rural areas they still speak our native language. You need a ton of pride to preserve your own culture and we have exactly that. Accents in certain province are also maintained! Cavite, bulacan, batangas and quezon province all speak tagalog but you can differentiate which place they're from base on their accent.
Ilocos region spoke spanish. Cebu province. Central luzon. Cavite. Zamboanga. Iloilo bacolod etc....

Quezon - Strong (not as strong as Batangas), has verbal mannerisms that doesn't sound Tagalog. 😂
The only reason I know about this “myth” is because a Filipino told me he spoke Spanish. and he did 😂
Filipino would be a superpower (hyperbole) if they spoke Spanish to this day. Combined with speaking native tongue (people who also speak other dialects of the Philippines), the official filipino language (tagalog), and english, they would have a very big impact in global trade for Asia and America as their geography also works well to their favor.
i agree 👍👍

De acuerdo contigo! VIVA FILIPINAS!
If only Filipinos would come to terms with their past and fully accept Spanish influence of our culture just as they have obviously accepted American. Whether Filipinos like it or not, the events that have happened is what shaped our identity today in religion, culture, traditions, etc. Only then I think we will be able to move on and develop as a country instead of being blindly angry at the past.
I could listen to you all day in any of the multiple languages you speak! I adore your accent. Great topic and video as well on a subject I have often wondered about myself but never researched.
Interesting! I only learned Spanish from school, when I was in college taking up History from 2001 to 2005. Because it was a mandatory subject so we are obliged to take up Spanish language subject (9 units plus basic lessons from Instituto Cervantes). I am short tongued so it was a challenge plus our Spanish at class was Castilian because two of my Spanish language instructors were Castilian descent.
My mother’s surname Jao is a hispanized Chinese surname if i’m not mistaken, it’s original form is RAO or JIAO
😯😯😯
this is what happened to my maternal grandfather's last name, too. His Chinese last name was Yang, and it became Geanga (Yang-ga). So interesting...
Maybe a surname via Portugues Macao?
@@rcabarca73 maybe, but my grandfather said to me that they're from northern beijing who only migrated south after mao zedong ruled
Oh wow! I'm preparing myself to migrate to Spain. This is inspiring that you can speak Spanish well without formal lesson.
When I was in HS in Philippines we have 2yrs subject and 2yrs in college. I truly regret not using it.
I really appreciate your interest in the Spanish language. I also like the Tagalog language. I visited the Philippines a couple years ago, and I really like the country and the culture. Hopefully, I will visit again soon. Gustong-gusto ko ang Pilipinas! 🇵🇭
to be honest, it's Spain's fault why Spanish is not spoken in the Philippines. They intentionally prevented Filipinos from learning and speaking Spanish. Why? because having one language, Filipinos can easily communicate with each other despite having their own native languages, this will cause them to plot revolutions and rebellions easily against the Spanish empire.
So, what did the Spanish Priests do? learned the native languages of the Philippines to convince them even more to convert to Catholicism. This ensured their grip of power over the islands.
Only the rich people like Jose Rizal was allowed to learn Spanish. The Indios (typical/normal native filipinos) were left with their original languages. That's why compared to Latin America where their native languages became extinct, the Philippines' did not despite 3 centuries of Spanish rule. That should make Filipinos grateful. We still have our identity.
Im from Vizcaya and looking back at our history it makes sense. Now thank your for explaining about everything.
I really love Spanish. I mean I love learning languages but it’s the language that I really focused on. Took me almost 8-9 years to study it (because I’m just studying by myself) I only got serious about it 3 years ago and now I can speak with natives online (through call) in order to practice my Spanish. Nowhere near fluent but I just love everything about this language. ❤️
Edit: Your accent in Spanish is sooo good! 😭😭
This is so informative and I love how you presented it. ❤️
There are Filipinos who uses Tagalog surnames like: Pangilinan or Panganiban
Also Chinese surnames like: Tan, Lee, or Ong
The native family surname can be kept if they belong to the nobility say Soliman
@Bad Cooky i feel it is nice to have real filipino last names than having foreign spanish last names. im glad those filipino last names have survived during 330 years occupation

@@jbn03canada Spaniards used to be a people very respectful of hierarchies, whether that be noblemen or royals. They also respected hierarchy in the lands they incorporated.

Trisha, I still remember when my eldest sister was in college, she used to have a Spanish subject at Adamson University. And then Dep't of Education for some reason dissolved it. In my opinion, it shouldn't be dissolve. Why? Its an advantage to us Filipino to learn multi language. Imagine how many other countries speak Spanish and this country are rich and people choose to stay in this countries.
And even the super power soon or later must recognize the Spanish as its second language.
I also graduated from Adamson University back in the mid 80s. Your sister was right. We have Spanish subjects 1-4 back then.

Your spanish is too basic! :D Just saying, my spanish friends don't speak the way you do, In modern times, you'd be considered as ''Old English''. Lusaw na yan!
Watching Filipino TV shows here in the US, it seems like about 10% of the words are Spanish, up to another 10% are English, and you can pick up a lot of meaning through context and body language.
10%? not even close. More like 3%
@@racooncity3325 Exacto ka. Korek. 🙂.
30% at least. Even ung mga dates, months, time and also some conjuctions and prepositions are adapted from Spanish language. Yung ibang words like asukal (azúcar), dyabetis (diabetes), etc. are "salitang siyokoy" wherein Spanish or English words are adapted based on how most Native Filipinos would pronounce them.
@@ajgo2145 "Asukar" actually came from Arabic. The Arab-speaking world near the Iberian peninsula brought the word (and a lot of other words in their vocabulary) to the peninsula and it is Spain that also brought the word here.

Spain also had a major influence in the Philippines' legal system which exists even to this day. Although laws are in English, the Philippine legal system follows the civil law system which it inherited from Spain, this is in contrast to the Anglo-American common law which the US uses. Also, many Spanish terms were retained in certain laws. For instance, the nomenclature of penalties as to duration of imprisonment provided under the Philippine Revised Penal Code are in Spanish, e.g. reclusion perpetua (20 years and 1 day to 40 years); reclusion temporal (12 years and 1 day to 20 years); prision correccional (6 months and 1 day to 6 years); and destierro (banishment from residing within a radius of 25 km from the residence of the accused). The Philippine Civil Code also uses Spanish terms: e.g. dacion en pago (dation in payment); reserva troncal, reserva maxima and reserva minima (concepts pertaining to reservation of certain properties in succession); fideicomisario (trustee); and accion reinvindicatoria (action to recover ownership).
I think we could learn spanish easier than other languages since we know many words already. Looking forward to your video on your tips.

Saludos cariñosos hasta México, Pampanga, Filipinas desde México país.
I love the accents that you have.. The transition from English to Spanish was spectacular..
Hi there, very Interesting video, But you got few things wrong, I'll correct them if you don't mind.
Small points but I'll make it as detailed as possible.
1.) No true cultural assimilation - Actually, the Filipino culture itself, is a hybrid culture of; Austronesian, Spanish and Chinese cultures. Things like, Bahay na bato, Earthquake baroque, folk dances such as Tinikling, Cariñosa, La Jota (Manileña / Cagayana / Caviteña etc.), Barong, Baro't saya(Maria Clara, Kimona, Terno etc.), Kundiman, Harana, Catholicism, Kutkut art, Estilo Tampinco art, and many more, together with all the foods you just mention. Those cultures are the main practice of Insulares, mestizos, Indios, chinos, from rich to poor a like. Except of course, for the, todays, autonomous areas, or areas seeking autonomy, or places only annexed by the Philippines much later in history; like the Moros, Cordillerans, Lumads, and Negritos. Like any other territory of Spain or other empires of the world, there will always be a cultural assimilation.
2.) It will be an overstatement to say that there was no true linguistic assimilation given that Tagalog itself has 33% root word that are of Spanish in origin, and me being a Taglog and Cebuano speaker can definitely say, Cebuano has a lot more. And of course, as you said, the Chavacano, which is by the way, not a pidgin, but a creole (there's a big difference). In the past, Chavacano was not only spoken in Zamboanga, there's also a variant in Cavite.
Then, there is the Cervantes Institute who estimated that at the beginning of the 20th century, there was an estimated 60 per cent of Filipinos who spoke Spanish as their second language, That doesn't even include the native speakers with loanwords(which at that time in much greater number of loanwords than what we have today. In 1846, French traveler Jean Baptiste Mallat was surprised at how advanced Philippine schools were. In fact, the national language of the first Republic of the Philippines is Spanish. It was the language of the Philippine Revolution and the country's first official language, as proclaimed in the Malolos Constitution of the First Philippine Republic in 1899. Before the 19th century, Philippine revolts were small-scale. Since they did not extend beyond linguistic boundaries, they were easily neutralized by Spanish forces. They were not nationalist, they were mostly just regionalist uprising(for example Diego Silang only intended to free Ilocos and not the whole Philippines). With the small period of the spread of Spanish through a free public school system (1863) and the rise of an educated class, nationalists from different parts of the archipelago were able to communicate in a common language. It was the language of commerce, law, politics and the arts during the colonial period and well into the 20th century.
So I don't really know what you mean by assimilated. The only things that really ended it is, as you said is, the huge American influence and then the post Third Republic constitutions, and the greatest of all, Anti culture modernism expressions.
3.) The Ilustrados, the propagators of Filipino nationalism, actually propagates Spain to reform the Philippines and to make it a province, and not to "distinguish themselves to their colonizers" like you said. The closest thing to a separatism is the popular idea within those Ilustado sentiment to make the Philippines a province of Spain, then gradually lead to independence to a peaceful recognition of Spain as colonial mother and not as an enemy, and also to its cultural contributions. Kind of like what happened to Philippines and America instead. A lot of modern Filipinos today may raise their eyebrows to that, but back then, people have a very different view of nationalism than what we have today. After all, nationalism is just a construct, But that kind of nationalism of Ilustrados is actually the idea that started the Philippine nationalism which eventually led to revolution.
But even in revolution, Philippine didn't fully "distinguish themselves to Spain". Again, the First Republic of the Philippines, still uses Spanish, and was used to write the Constitution of Biak-na-Bato, Malolos Constitution, the original national anthem, Himno Nacional Filipino, as well as nationalistic propaganda material and literature. They immediately made friend with Spain after independence. In fact one of the popular form of protests during the American era is speaking and writing in Spanish.
in 1973 spanish was still part of high school curriculum... even up to 1974 and 1975 during college spanish subjects was taught in first year to 4rth year college in private schools..
Very excited about learning Spanish by forcing yourself to converse with local. Great content ateee! I am a fan ❤❤
It was in 1543 Spanish expedition leader Ruy Lopez de Villalobos which designated Felipina/Felipinas for the Island of Leyte which the natives called Tandaya. Islas San Lazarus was the name given by Magellan in 1521.
Thank you.
Also Ferdinand Magellan did not unite the nation under the Spanish Crown.
I don't have Spanish last name.
except for my great grandmother which is Gonzales.
But I really do believe that the main reason why we do not speak Spanish anymore it's because Americans colonized us and maybe because some of our heroes want us to be different among the rest of the world.
But according to my mom & my aunt they have Spanish subjects in HS.
I do think that if we still speak Spanish, our country woulda been so different. We will not be having a hard time communicating with the Latinos.
Actually not all Filipinos speak Spanish before. Only those rich people can speak Spanish but those lower they can't.

I’m American by citizenship (born and raised) but I’m Filipino by ethnicity (both parents are from the Philippines). Although I live in Hawaii where I’m basically right in between both countries in a geographical context.
That being said, I’ve taken it upon myself to learn Spanish due to the steadily growing population of Latinos coming to the Hawaiian islands. And I’ve always viewed Spanish-speaking Latinos like Mexicans as my cultural cousins. I even have a Mexican friend who I try to stay connected to and we’re basically close friends at this point. She even approves of the way I speak Spanish in some occasions and is well aware that Filipinos already know some Spanish due to historical and cultural influences by Spain and by Mexico in particular.
In one instance, I actually spoke perfect Spanish to a Chilean customer although he mistook me for a Latino due to the color of my light-brown skin. I don’t know what he said to me but I said to him “Lo siento, señor. No soy Latino, soy Filipino.” And he had the most hilariously confused face I’ve ever seen in my life. I even told my Mexican friend this and she was laughing at that poor man. And also praised my Spanish as well.
This also inspired me to write a fictional story about a young Filipino man and a young Mexican woman. Both of which speak in American-accented English. You might think it’s a romance story but that’s not necessarily the case. It’s actually more of an action crime thriller because they both decide to ally with one another due to a shared tragedy they both experienced in their lives. Plus the guy kinda likes her so there’s that.
Edit: I also feel like Filipinos that wish to move to the United States may want consider learning Spanish while still retaining English and their native tongue. The reason why I think Spanish should be considered is because many parts of the United States, most especially in the Southwestern areas like Southern California, New Mexico, Arizona, and Texas have a strong Spanish-speaking presence mostly because of so many Mexicans living in those areas. Plus Spanish is the second-most spoken language in the country right after English.
pretty inspiring thank to take the time to write it
I agree with you that Spanish is essential living in America. Once in the subway in Manhattan, a Latino approached me and obviously asking for direction, I told him "mi no habla Español. I'm a Filipino." He looked at me perplexed, and walk away a few seconds with profuse apologies

My grandpa travelled around the whole world, so he knew spanish and was born while the WW2 was going on. He knows a lot of languages and I'm also learning spanish. The reason why we don't speak it is because they don't teach us that often anymore, or it's because I know some(or most) elders still despise the Spaniards, and/or some doesn't really flex it to younger ones. I've heard my grandfather speak in spanish to a church leader nun before, and oh boy was I interested in the conversation. I understood some, and they were just talking about how the Philippines don't teach spanish anymore. I am still a beginner in spanish, but I think we don't speak Spanish because we didn't grow up hearing or learning them(even though Philippines has some words.)
yeah is the perception some have with the spanish langauge, they relate the spanish language as just the language of spaniards, inlike the latin american countries tha perceive the spanish langauge as its own langauge since they have its unique accent, voacbulary and slang tht diferentiate from th e spanish from spain also the people who fought aginst the spaniards saw the language as a tool agianst the spaniard and she didn't tell the whole history though, she missed some information, like before the american ocupation in the philippines were around 20% of proficient spanish speakers, after the ocupation and filipinos american war, a lot of spanish speakers were erased by us armada, reducing one sixth of the population , the the japanese and finally the battle of manila bombarding on intramuros, going from 20% of speakers before the first war with the states down to 3% after independece. also like she said spanish was going to be a oficial national langauge before the american ocupation, but since that happens the philippines adopt the language of tis last colonizer as any other colonized country would do

Estudiar español es una buena idea de reducir la estrés durante la pandemia. Así que se dedica mucho tiempo en otra cosa más que cuando esté ocupado con el problema sin una respuesta clara. Además, es tan facíl aprenderlo porque saber inglés y tagalo se significa la habilidad de comprender más de los contextos escribido en español.
Sólo estudiaba los últimos siete meses el español porque había sentido como un hombre deprimido.
Me agradecía tener el tiempo para dedicar bastante tiempo a aprenderlo sin ayuda de las instituciónes españoles apropriados o sin gastar un centimo para dominarlo.
¡Excelente! ... es impresionante el avance que has logrado con el idioma, con todo y que estudias el español por tus propios medios, según lo que comentas... te felicito ... Saludos cordiales desde Venezuela.
@@luisramos7107 Gracias Luis Ramos. 🙋🏻♂️. Aunque me molesta mucho que yo no pueda hablar en español con soltura. Pero lo mejor es que ya esté mirando una pelicula española completa sin los subtítulos. No me imagino que pueda atener este momente de descansar mirandola. Hoy yo leyo muchos libros comprensivos y profundos de inversasiones internacionales en el ordenador. Quiero lograr el nivel español de los negociantes/financieros/contables* para ampliar la oportunidad de trabajo como un contable, quien soy yo. 🙋🏻♂️.
@@philippinesbaybayin7044 para hablar el idioma con soltura necesitas practicarlo con otros hablantes, y mejor si son nativos ... Te recomiendo los grupos hispano-filipinos para practicar vía internet (sin costo alguno, gratuíto) como el que conforma @LuelZone (canal de RUclips) o el de facebook-instagram de @JosquineAlviarDiaz (canal de RUclips) con estudiantes de Filipinas, de América (México, Colombia, Perú, Brasil, etc.) y de España ... ambos, Luel y Josquine, hablan un español excelente, y en el caso de Luel me sorprende que habla el español con naturalidad, prácticamente como un nativo del idioma habiéndolo aprendido por cuenta propia (creo que donde vive no hay un Instituto Cervantes cerca) ... el grupo de Josquine está conformado por estudiantes de español y también de tagalo (habemos hispanoamericanos que buscamos aprender esta lengua también jejeje) ...
If you cannot understand what I've written I can write it in English too ... Cálidos saludos.
@@luisramos7107 He comprendido todo sin necesidad de leerlo otra vez. 😮. Pero sí, lo que me falta es la practica de hablar este idioma maravilloso. Entonces, buscaré lo que me has dicho. Los canales de youtubers y también las cuentas de Fb o las páginas allí donde puedo pedir una ayuda para el desarrollo de mi español rapidamente.
Great video! I have a friend who is Filipina, even if her family immigrated to Spain when she was 14. When I met her I was convinced she was either Spanish with Latin America origins or simply Latina. Her surname is Villanueva and she speaks with a veeeeeeery, almost not noticeable, slight accent, so I really had no idea she was from Filipinas until she told me. It's very cool when she teaches me words in Tagalog and we discuss the similarities between the languages. Thank you for making me learn more with this video!
If I’m not mistaken Spanish subject was being thought in school before but they stopped it. So I guess, es uno de los rezones que Filipinos no hablan español pero ahora creo que hay muchos filipinos estudiando español just like me porque oportunidad para trabajar en centro de llamadas como bilingüe y ganadora mas dinero como solo habla en inglés
My family ancestors from my mother side, was a spanish.maybe thats why i like spanish language, i feel easy to understand and speak
