Yes, in early 70s we had Spanish subject, translated the "Mi Ultimo Adios" fm Spanish to English. Spanish is very easy to learn...I love to write, speak Spanish.
I somehow wish we still have it in college. We only have Rizal as replacement for it. The foreign languages taught in my uni are mostly East Asian, such as Korean, Nihongo, and Mandarin.
I'm happy that we have Tagalog as our National Language. I wouldn't want to be like others. I'm glad we were able to established our own language. It's nice to know different languages but having one national language is really important especially for a country with many dialects.
Americans were smart enough than their Spanish predecessor in educating more Filipinos with their education system. Up until the present, it is the same system that is being used. Still, i love the diversity of the Filipino language. :)
Spanish was included in our curriculum for 4 semesters. If I have someone to speak with the language , I might be able to practice more. I stayed in Pomona, California for a short while and it is a place where there are many Mexicans live. Even the bus driver speaks Mexican/Spanish. People asked me questions in their language. Surprisingly, I was able to give a reply. I guess my little knowledge of Spanish language came in handy. BTW, my grandfather was Portuguese, grandmother is half Spanish/Chinese and my dad is a mestizo. But I'm a proud to be a Filipino. Crazy mixed up race in me. lol!
When she said Tagalog is the most spoken language in the Philippines hehe I think, Bisaya is the language you can speak in the most islands of Philippines. Starting from Mindanao, we can all speak bisaya. Going to visayas, they also speak bisaya. And going to Luzon, there are tons of bisaya here. While Tagalog is only in Luzon.
Tagalog remains the lingua franca, so it is the most spoken language, but it doesn't mean Tagalog ethnic group is the dominant ethnic group. It's just that their language is spoken even by other ethnic group. And just so you know po ano, marami Pong Tagalog migrants sa Mindanao who adapted a reverse situation with accent, despite living in Mindanao for 2-3 generations, these ethnic Tagalogs speak Visayan with a Tagalog accent.
And before, The Spanish language was included in our curriculum, it is required for the colleges to have it as a subject, but now, that's not the case anymore, but it has a course in college if you want to teach it for example, or you just want to study it in college, but it isn't required by the curriculum anymore.

Maybe if there still a Spanish class from elem to high just like English, we would have a Spanish in Filipino accent, not like hers :) it would have been nice even to understand Spanish, that's still a skill..
I read one of the book of Jose Rival, was fighting to keep Spanish in school. But he died because people in Philippines don't want Spanish to be teach in school. I should explain it here better but I forgot the detail of it.
Because he studied in europe and learned all spanish word so basically its his first language now and he just know a little bit of his native languange
Spoken language Description Chavacano or Chabacano is a group of Spanish-based creole language varieties spoken in the Philippines. The variety spoken in Zamboanga City, located in the southern Philippine island group of Mindanao, has the highest concentration of speakers. Wikipedia
Fun fact : my grandmother (mom's side) is a daughter of Pure blooded spanish soldier (Dela Cruz her father) and her mom is half chinese half Filipina with Spanish Blood as well (Litaba Flores) Plus my father's parents were also not pure Spanish blooded People Jotojot and Escobal And my mom's father is Filipino American Indian with Arabic blood, (Cabarubias, Rockwell) So I don't really know what to call myself? But of course since we were born in the Philippines we are Filipino citizen, Hahahaha. Coz up until now and in my next generations, spanish,american indian and Chinese Blood still runs to us...
Enero, Pebrero, Marso, Abril, Mayo, Hunyo, Hulyo, Agusto , Setyembre ,Octubre, Nobyembre, Decyembre. In my language which is bisaya we used to sang these months back in grade school days.
I'm kinda sad coz when I got to high school, Spanish isn't a subject anymore. Same thing with our Music subject that 4th year (graduating) students are taught to play the guitar.
ovela. you are welcome in the philippines. we can teach you tagalog. mag iingat ka palagi kaibigan. thank you for showing interest in filipino language and culture.
Because we were liberated more than 80 years ago. Filipinos who can speak Spanish already died. Our grandmothers can pray the rosary and participate in a mass in Spanish.
i know if im not mistaken when spaniard conquered us we speak spanish.but today bec.americans conquered also the Philippines we learned the english language.but some of our words are spanish and there are some places here who fluently speak spanish.
My grandfather was born 1912 and finished Grade 7. He is fluent in Spanish and English but know nothing about Filipino language. His grandfather was spanish who married to his filipina grandmother. We learned to speak Spanish from him but did not pay much attention about the language. In school language used was English and Filipino. Actually only two subject were in Filipino, Filipino Subject and Sibika at Kultura (Social Studies) now. No more spanish subject. Everywhere in Visayas. She said the counting uno dos tres is only used in Visayas and Mindanao. Luzon don't use that.
Spanish is also included in school curriculum but was removed on 1975. thats why i know how to speak a little of spanish...not so fluent..btw english and spanish language are both being taught in our school...but later spanish was abolished ...
AS I TRAVEL AROUND THE WORLD AS PART OF MY JOB , BEING A CEBUANO AND TRAVELLED TO SPAIN THE CARRIBEAN MEXICO CENTRAL AMERICA AND SOUTH AMERICA I HAVE USED CEBUANO LANGUAGES WHICH IS ACTUALLY SPANISH SO FOR ME I HAVE LEARN THAT FAST TALKING TO THE LOCAL ......APPLYING MY LITTLE SPANISH TILL IT IS BASTANTE PARA POCO CONVERSATION...
Most of the local dialects in the Philippines have Spanish, Greek and Latin mixtures. In 1987, Cory Aquino abolished the SPANISH subject because they thought it was useless, and in 2007, UP Diliman pushed THE TAGALOG policy replacing the English language.
Also in Davao City. Bisaya laguage sometimes mix with Spanish. But I don't know if the spelling is still the same. Just like what she just said in the video. When bisaya counts will be like. Uno, dos, tres, kwatro, sengko, unom, pito, walo, nuebe, dyes, onse ,dose, tres, katorse, kinse, etc.
Many filipinos spoke spanish as the lingua franca of the philippines as a second language. You can watch to What happened to the philippine spanish after the philippine american war.
In high sch we have a year of spanish subject. In college we were required to have 21 units of spanish studies. We have to speak spanish in answer to prof question. Later own the. Dept of education abolish it and fil studies replaced it. It was long time ago Ovela. Stay safe
The Philippines was a colony of Spain for 336 years while Mexico became a VICEROY of Spain and governed the Philippines on behalf of Spain for 100 years. Dutch occupied the Philippines for 5 years, then British for 5 years and Americans ruled the land for 50 years. During World War 2, Jewish arrived, then at the time of cold war White Russians fled here and many Middle Eastern ran to the Philippines to escape Iran-Iraq conflict.
Actually, the PHILIPPINES had been a SPANISH colony for 336 years, not 333 which can see in many History books. Spanish and French were the main forms of communication back then but when AMERICANS came, THEY REPLACED SPANISH and French with ENGLISH. They even changed SPANISH names into AMERICAN names.
Hi ovela.. I hope you can react to "chavacano", the language she mentioned in the video, it's a very interesting language of the philippines, it's the only spanish based creole language in asia.
To answer your question, the Spaniards almost deprived education to pure Filipinos, but the Americans taught our ancestors English. You can research the word "THOMASITES".
we do speak spanish because some tagalog words are derived from spanish but when we are paying to buy something we used spanish counting like sinkwenta, saisenta like that correct me with the spelling. I do understand spanish but not all atleast I can. Also, if you will hear “PERO” that she use and in tagalog use in English means “BUT” that is why similarity is there.
We took spanish language in 1St year college together with Philippine history. After learning a lot in Philippine History and of course the sacrifices of our ancestors and all those sh!t they go through a lot of us was no longer interested in that subject. We consider it as a break from all other major subject, we still go to our spanish class but majority of us are doing homework for other subjects or studying for a quiz in other major subjects. We got a passing grade but we never learned and we actually dont care. A year after spanish language was no longer a part of the curriculum.
Los gringos. Consideran sin importancia cualquier idioma, desgraciadamente. Les arrebato a ustedes. La oportunidad de ser bilingües inglés español.no todos los estadounidense piensan de esa manera.ya que es actúalmente la lengua más estudiada en los diferentes niveles educativos.los filipinos bilingües inglés español Han reportado enormes beneficios económicos
I understand the advantage of learning other language but as for Spanish is a language thats very familiar to us filipinos since majority of the filipino words are derived from spanish words. Its familiarity makes it not interesting anymore to me. Also mi abuelo habla broken espanyol at home. I Entiende a few words eso sufeciente para mi.
the reason filipino/s are more used to speak english is that the first reason philippine was colonized is because of its rich mineral material name it from its very soil to its marine life with that said it became the most highest "trading" country with that english is the most used/common languange were use during "trades" that's why
Hi Ovela, we have English subject from grade school to High school, and when i went to college we still have 2 years spanish subject but they abolished it in the 90's?. Until now we still know how to count in spanish and while playing cards saying it in spanish of which new generation don't understand if we are playing with them. Or answer in spanish if asked about time. New generation now speaks english more that's why spanish is started to fade in their bocabulary, so to speak, maybe unless they are in Zamboanga where Spanish is still very well spoken! ?
I remember back in 1987 Corazon Aquino president of the filipines anounced the switch form spanish to english language, news flew to all over latin america countires and The real academia espanola org. in Spain was really mad.
FACT: In the early 1600s-1650s,Theres a Region in the Northern part of the Philippines where the Spaniards failed to conquer in attempt to convert the "Igorots" into Christianity,the "Cordillera Region". However , when the Americans took over from the Spanish colonizers were, able to effectively colonize the Cordillera Region from 1899 to 1945...and thats why Most Tribes in the North were able to preserve their culture and dialects; with the Americans, English was taught and was widely spoken..
Filipinos don't learn Spanish fluently as much as English during the Spanish Colonial Rule as Spaniards do not let Filipinos learn the language on purpose. They do not want Filipinos to understand their plans about the Philippines and the Filipinos during the colonization.
Unlike Spaniards that limits many of filipinos from learning, Learning english language is one of the American greatest contribution to the Philippines, they used their (american)soldiers to teach filipino natives, They are called Thomasites.
Education-wise, the Spanish concentrated only on the upper or richer class of the Filipino society. While the Americans made it sure that even the lowest classes will be able to have access to Education and will be able to speak English.
Growing up with no Spanish-speaking neighbors, I just trust at home and with my online Hispanic-Filipino friends who live in Luzon and Latino friends too. The Spanish language in the Philippines has been resurrected, especially with my Filipino Friends. We created a group chat for Filipino youth. Called "Hispanofilipina Gang" our plan is to create a new Spanish speaking community in the future. teach our son to speak the language one day.
american came here in the Philippines and save us and give us freedom for those who wants to harm us. I think maybe that is the time where we adapt the english language. Oh no, I need to study again HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA charot!
All my family on my mom's side speak/spoke spanish. My great grandparents, my granny & grandpa, my mom & all her siblings speak/spoke spanish. They spoke it at home & spoke it in school. My brother & i don't speak it; neither do my younger cousins. It's a shame though... i wish i had the pleasure of learning it.

Hello I'm from Philippines Zamboaga City in Mindanao were using CHAVACANO(Broken Spanish) language in our daily life☺️❤️
Yes, in early 70s we had Spanish subject, translated the "Mi Ultimo Adios" fm Spanish to English. Spanish is very easy to learn...I love to write, speak Spanish.
Spain came with religion and government system which we already have.
America came with education system which our ancestors really needed that time.
During our college days, we had 4 semesters of Spanish (2) years and that is compulsory. You can’t graduate in college without taking the subject.
Yes I failed the first time but I need to pass the scond time otherwise I cannot graduate at least even 3 I got hahah
I somehow wish we still have it in college. We only have Rizal as replacement for it. The foreign languages taught in my uni are mostly East Asian, such as Korean, Nihongo, and Mandarin.
I need to write down a comment again. I love this video. It's also my first time seeing this and it is very informative content. Wow! 👏
