in fact, the lyrics of the Philippine national anthem, "Lupang Hinirang", were originally written in Spanish, later translated into English and finally into Filipino only in the 1950s. "Marcha Nacional Filipina" is the title of the original Philippine anthem composed by Julián Felipe.
Sabi nila Kapampanget daw original lyrics ng Lupang Hinirang bago ginawang Spanish. Nakakalito kase Pampanga is claiming it na salita nila unang lyrics ng Lupang Hinirang
Spanish is still being taught in some universities in the Philippines. In my school, the University of Santo Tomas, we have two terms for Spanish. For History majors, they learn Spanish for five terms, basically until they become fluent. So yeah, we're pretty much still strongly tied to Spanish.
Yes SPANISH IS EASY TO LEARN, BEFORE , SPANISH SUBJECT IS INCLUDED IN HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE, BUT NOW NO MORE, OUR GRAND PARENTS ARE FLUENT IN SPANISH LANGUAGE, MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR HERRERA FAMILY ❤️❤️❤️
Glad you are putting the spotlight on this girl. So underrated. Great singer and dancer. She now lives in Chicago with her husband. Has the vocal skills to be very successful if she gets the right breaks.
I remember when i was small in the province most of elderly can speak fluently in Spanish. Including my grandfather he speak in spanish/japanese/& english if he is Drunk. 😁

By the way, I'm a fan of you two and I love watching you guys especially when you are reacting to our queen KZ Tandingan and all of the other Pinoy Artist❤️😘.. Kudos☺️
Hola Familia Hererra!!! Thanks for knowing and appreciating Filipino way of pronouncing Spanish. I think, of all the Peoples around the world (except South America, Mexico and Italy), Filipinos are the best in pronouncing Spanish as if it's their native tongue, afterall we've been colonized by Spain for about 333 years. Besides, Pilipino and Spanish Alphabets are almost the same. In our daily lives we even used Spanish Numerals and in telling Time. Most often than not we say; Ala Una, Alas Dos, Alas, Tres, Alas Quatro, Alas Cinco or Ala Una y Media, Alas Dos y Media, etc. In the Bicol Region (Southern Luzon) about 30% of words are in Spanish. And the Spanish Creole in Zamboaga, the Chavacanos.
I know Brazil because there are many Brazilian models here in the Philippines, and I know Mexico because they are like our latino brother because they look like Filipinos, especially those who live in America. I'm familiar with Venezuela because of pageantry. :)
Some Filipinos grow up with Spanish cultures, languages and ancestries. I’m a Filipino from Visayas and my great-Grandparents were from Spain, we had Spanish priests in our High School days and we had Spanish class in our curriculum before. I grew up in the Philippines with families and friends that mainly speak Spanish. I don’t speak Spanish but I can understand some words of it. Cebuano dialect have some Spanish words.
Hahahaha. Not only Tagalog or Filipino Language that have Spanish influence but also down to our dialects. I just realized that when I watched La Casa De Papel. I heard so many Spanish words that are similar to my dialect.
9:06 "good morning" in Tagalog is "magandang umaga". Other languages in the Philippines have variants like "maayong aga" or "malipayong adlaw", but most of them are rooted in pre-Hispanic languages. Only Chavacano might have something resembling "buenas dias" (I could be wrong, of course)
That is so true. We Filipinos find it easier to learn Spanish than our English native counterparts. I remember my American classmates when I was studying Spanish, they sound totally different. You can easily tell that they’re English native unlike us Filipinos we’re already using Spanish works without even knowing it.
Waleska is right. Filipinos can really learn Spanish in no time if it forces to someone. Same goes with Latinos, you guys can easily learn Tagalog because of the same conjugations. It just needs to activate to every Filipino and Spanish people to learn the Tagalog and Spanish language respectively.
Spanish speakers will be struggling in pronouncing 'NG' like Mang, Nang as they don't have these words in their alphabet. unlike us we can pronounce the 'enye or the double LL. The difference of our pronunciation in double LL is "LYO' While in Spanish is 'YO' ex: caballo, paella and others that has double LL. These are only my observations.
@@exploit_123_Travel yes. the vocalization of certain alphabets are not the same but the original poster mention Spanish and Filipino as having the same conjugations and conjugations pertain to verb changes according to the subject so I remain to say that the conjugations between these two languages are not the same. More so, completely different.
Yah..in college we have spanish 1, 2 and 3.. and we were obliged to memorize the Adios Patria Adorada..the last farewell of Jose Rizal and studying the Noli Me Tangere. OMG!!! now i forgot the grammar and everything but i can understand some words in spanish.
Soy Filipino pero mi lingua en mi casa es Cebuano estonces Español porque mi abuelo hablo Español muy bien. Ahora, Yo hablo Español muy mal y muy poco. Usando las idiomas es no importante en años pasados. Creo que Español gentes hablo Tagalog es mucho alegre! Gracias a todos. - Student of Communication :) ***Correct me if I'm wrong.
Eumee can nail an impression of Christina Aguilera, even in Spanish! WOW Magellan set foot in the Philippines 500 years ago. Spain occupied The Philippines for 333 years. That was how long Spanish was an official language. Spanish is required for law school and the (Catholic) seminary in The Philippines. If you think Eumee is great at Spanish, check Morissette: note that Morissette speaks Bisayan, a language that has more Spanish words than Tagalog. Eumee might know Kampampangan, which has fewer Spanish words than Bisayan. You are correct: Filipinos who know at least Tagalog can learn Spanish quickly! Do see The Voice Spain and reality shows in Latin America. Feliz Navidad y prospero ano felicidad!
EUMEE GROWN FULLY HERE IN THE PHILIPPINES, SPANISH LANGUAGE IS PART OF OUR LIFE TOO, MANY FILIPINOS CAN SPEAK SPANISH LANGUAGE FLUENTLY, , CULTURE ALSO,
My grand dad is half Spanish and hes talking to us Spanish language so we can understand a little i miss him so much he died 10 years ago...mi amor lolo
Fun fact!!! There's this dialect in hiligaynon called karay,a in the Philippines that actually uses more rrrrr and we kinda uses more Portuguese words.
It's a tough question to answer because being popular has so many aspects. But in terms of awareness, I would say my personal awareness is ranked as: 1. Brazil (football, dance, jiu jitsu, bossa nova) 2. Mexico (our connection with the Manila Galleon Trade) 3. Argentina (football, corned beef) 4. Colombia, Venezuela (Miss Universe, football) 5. Puerto Rico (basketball) 6. Chile (football) 7. Panama, Peru, Honduras (I honestly don't know much)
We Filipinos are naturally adaptable to any language. Place us in a place were nobody speaks our language, we would naturally speak the language, at least maybe the commonly used phrases. Look at the Filipinos around the world. They would know how to converse with the natives in their language.
Filipino know 25% of spanish. Because when i was in college we have subject Spanish. Besides we are colonised by the spaniards almost 300 yrs. We stop studying spanish in the year of 1987. We cannot graduate in college if you didnt pass your spanish subject
There was a time when Spanish is the 2nd language of the Philippines and it is included in the curriculum of education. So, most, of not, everyone spoke Spanish, English & Filipino. Everyone in school had to learn English, Spanish, even Japanese too. Later it was declared that after Filipino, English is our second language. But then up to this day, many of our grandparents and elders can still speak Spanish, and most of our dialects in the Philippines has words derived in Spanish.
As a Filipino myself, these are the most popular Latin American countries including Brazil: 1. MEXICO well Philippine history is so tied with it 2. BRAZIL big country 3. COLOMBIA beautiful people 4. PUERTO RICO a US territory 5. ARGENTINA football and movies 6. PERU history 7. VENEZUELA Miss Universe
I actually tried learning Spanish via DuoLingo and got to Level 30 something. Learning the words and pronouncing them wasn't the issue. I couldn't remember which words were masculine and which were feminine plus how verbs change with gender assignments of nouns was hard to nail down. I also didn't have enough practice. Hehehe. With more exposure and personal incentive to learn, I could perhaps pick up Spanish in a year or two of lax learning.
mexico and philippines are connected tradewise for over 300 years under the same vice royalty of new spain under galleon trade. so culture were intermixed
When I was in college in Mindanao Philippines, the Spanish language was included in our curriculum. We must take the Spanish 1 in fist year first semester and Spanish 2 in the 2nd semester. We were surprised to learn that our bisaya dialect has more Spanish, that even our evening prayer that we did in front of our grandparents, they called it Tenga prayer. We kneel down in front of our grandfather and we spell the prayer Tenga oste Dios buenas noches senior Lolo amen, then we kiss the hands of our grandfather.
In Visayas regions they speak more spanish vocab compared to tagalog, so those people in provinces are more familiar and speaks more spanish than people who speaks tagalog. My Grandmother, speaks fluent Latin when she's pissed off and only use Latin when praying
In my parent's time, Spanish language is the mode of communication/teaching instead of English in the Philippines...my older cousins when they were in high school, they had it as an elective subject...
Hi Waleska and Efra! Hope we get to see/hear your thoughts on LOVE YOURS by Ohwon Lee where SB19 is featured. Ohwon Lee is a singer and producer. He also produced GO UP by SB19 (the song that made SB19 viral on Twitter and sky rocket their career) Thank you 🥰
Our high school principal was a Spanish priest (we have a LOT of Catholic schools in the Philippines). He spoke fluent and accent less Filipino. So I think Waleska is right, it’s very easy for a Spanish speaker to learn Filipino, at least accent-wise. I remember Waleska did a GREAT job singing her cover of Moira’s Filipino song. 👍😀
My grandmother and other older aunt's speak fluent Spanish which were learned while they were young in 1920s-1930s. They grew up speaking it daily. Had 12 units of Spanish in the first semesters college but couldn't converse as we speak more in English, together w/ Tagalog. Any study of foreign language should be practiced daily or you must really immerse in it so you won't forget.
Hi there ... Check out some old vids of Vernie Vargas performance in Ryan Ryan Musikahan! And learn more of some filipinos jazz music, i think they deserves to be heard also, you wont regret listening to her ... She's very good! ☺️🙏🏼
PHILIPPINES was colonized by the Spaniards for 300 years why we had Spanish tongue too. Filipinos are mixed race why we can easily speak any languages.
most Known latin country in philippines are Mexico and Cuba. this is because of the Americans.as well as the Spaniards. Brazil is known in philippines because of christianity. The rest of the Latin world is only known to us begining the 1960's. this is I can recall.
