Is there some one that speaks Spanish in Philippines?

Answer 1

Spanish is a dying language in the Philippines.

It used to be spoken widely but only a handful speaks that now. Perhaps the Chabacanos are the only ones who can converse in Spanish since this dialect is very similar to Spanish. You have to fly all the way to Southern Philippines.

If you are visiting Manila, chances are the men (and women) on the street will most likely wouldn't know Spanish. English is widely spoken and understood. If you are confident with your English, you'll really go far in Manila.

Answer 2

Spanish was the original official language of the Philippines, since its establishment in the 16th century.

So, in spite of a total of 171 native languages that are spoken in the country, for sure there is still a lot of people who speaks Spanish.

Answer 3

I work with a lot of Filipinos and was told that Tagalog is 80 percent Spanish words in writing and meaning. However the pronunciation is different.
