I just assumed that since the Spanish brought Christianity and Christmas to the Philippines that Christmas would be called Navidad (or maybe Nabidad).

Tagalog is the Philippines national language and Pasko in only one word out 103 dialects in the Philippines that they to call Christmas, probably some other part of the Philippines use Navidad. Pasko may probably came from Malay words but not certain.

I don't think the others understand what you are asking. Pasko is dirived from the Spanish word "Pascua" meaning Chritsmas. So you see Navidad is not the only word in Spanish for Christmas.

The word "PASKO" does not come from the Spanish word for "Christmas". It comes from the Spanish word "PASCOA", or from the Portuguese word "PÁSCOA", or from the Latin word: "PASCHA". All these words original come from the Hebrew word "PESACH" meaning "PASSOVER". There is no such word as "Christmas" in the Tanakh or the Old Testament of the Bible nor is there such a word in the New Testament. That means Christmas is NOT a Biblical feast. If it is not...then what kind of feast is it and whose feast is it?

PASKO is from the Spanish word "PASCOA", from the Latin word: "PASCHA". All these words original come from the Hebrew word "PESACH" meaning "PASSOVER". this is interesting since passover is about the death and not the birth of Christ. Transubstantiation is a teaching of the Roman Catholic church saying that the bread and wine during the communion becomes a literal body and blood of Christ. like this teaching catholics during Christmas or the literal meaning "Christ s mass believe that Christ is being offered again as a sacrifice thus making it understood by the early Spaniards to be a passover "PASKOA" and as they bring this unbiblical teaching here, early Filipinos called is Pasko.
