The Philippines were colonized by the spaniards for more than 300 years the early 1500s up to the 1800s. That is why some of our ancestors had spanish blood. before in colleges, a spanish is a major subject, but now, it is just an option in most of the schools here. I am trying to give you information as best as i can, since that i graduated 7 years ago. ahehehe.. pardon me for that. Filipino is our national language.

hablos un pokito espanyol, pero no muy bien.

Have a good day everyone.

@scotsboy. Now i'm disappointed with your translator. Like every translator it can't tell the difference between 'to be' (estar) in some place and 'to be' (ser) something, regarding to-portuguese translation. This message was posted from a K700i

@vlam
yes, in fact some of our words were derived from spanish.

tagalog is now a dialect/province. Before 1987, Tagalog used to be the national language. It was changed to Filipino in the 1987 constitution. Pretty much the same. Most of us here are still used in saying that Tagalog is our national language. But Filipino is the appropriate.

We were once a Spanish colony, but that's more than a hundred years ago. It's no longer widely spoken (though chavacano (a Spanish creole) is a dialect in the provinces of Zamboanga and thereabouts) or understood by the young generations.

In my family, my grandparents (when they were alive) are fluent in the language, but it was lost to us younger generations (except for the cuss words). I got a cousin who speaks it, but then she took up it formally in school.

Babelfish is a good friend, after google.
