	TERNATE CHAVACANO
		TC was initially merged with the early Cavite Chavacano (CC) when the Spanish garrison of the Ternate Island in the Moluccas was recalled by Governor Sabiniano Manrique de Lara to help defend Manila from Koxinga's threat of attack, when he signed a decree on May 6, 1662.
		The Cavite Chavacano was more dominant at this time period inside the Cavite fort, with more speakers than the new ship load of Ternateños, and will thus provide more influence on the Ternate Chavacano.
		The Ternate Island was the one controlled by the Spaniards, and the Jesuits again were the source of the populace's religion and education.

		As we accept that chavacano is a criolle dialect, we depart from the idea of a spurious Spanish concoction to be ashamed of.
		The Chavacano identity has its own rules, and it is wise to follow them for mutual understanding and for the preservation of the dialect in its uniqueness.
		It is a daily experience that the ”chavacano de monte” and the ”chavacano de pueblo” are not the same any more; the most you can say is that they are cousins going away from one another.

		According to many opinions, the Chavacano dialect was scattered in different places of the Philippine archipelago, only of its sort in the Far East or perhaps in the Hispanic world.
		Another example of a typical humoristic oration in Chavacano that comes from the collection of Don Eliodoro Ballesteros of the city of Cavite, a great admirer of this dialect and one of the progenitor of its conservation.
		There are many reasons for the probable dissappearance of the Chavacano dialect, but the main thing is the massive arrival of the Tagalog speaking people in the city of Cavite.

		The grandchildren, then, had no incentive to maintain their Chavacano because they could understand and be understood in English.
		If the immigrant had already mastered Chavacano before immigrating, the probability is high that the dialect is maintained.
		In other words, the maintenance of Chavacano in the U.S. is critically dependent on older immigrants who continue using the dialect with each other and with the relatives, friends and other compoblanos who come to the U.S. as tourists.

	AsiaFinest Discussion Forum > The Early History of Chavacano de Zamboanga
		As fate will have it, the ECDZ and the Chavacanos, Jesuits included, will amazingly endure another fifty-six (56) years (1662-1718) of isolated existence and proliferation amidst the hostile threat and return of the Moro Pirates who overtook and destroyed the abandoned fort.
		The Chavacanos who stayed behind, including many of the founding Jesuit priests who vowed to never forsake their thousands of converted subjects and their new-found religious outpost (prized as the southern-most Catholic stronghold in the entire Philippine islands), were by this time already living within the confines of Zamboanga and its people.
		The Jesuits, belonging to the aggressive religious expansionists' Society of Jesus, who remained in Zamboanga were historically credited for reconstructing the damaged fort in 1666, three years after the last Spanish soldiers vacated their walled post in 1663.

		She was a mestiza Espanola in the same way that the city has retained its Spanish character since its days as a garrison town of the colonial Spanish government.
		She strived much and won some to make the pidgin Spanish Chavacano language of the city once again the local lingua franca, even cutting Chavacano love songs that she herself sang for mass distribution.
		Although her political style may be more of the traditional patronage type that continues to persist in the country, she accomplished much in building and rebuilding public edifices and facilities, enough to give the city a much-needed facelift.

	CHAVACANO
		EN ESPAÑOL Chavacano is considered to be a Spanish creole because this Iberian language supplies Chavacano with most of its vocabulary although it has also got of words coming from Filipino languages such as Cebuan and Tagalog.
		However, we also find people who speak Chavacano in the province of Cavite, near Manila, in Luzon Island.
		Chavacano-speakers in Cavite are a very small minority with a very uncertain future unless a heavy and productive linguistic policy is put into practise by the authorities, nevertheless, in recent times, the mayors of Cavite, the provincial capital, have undertaken a major effort in order to keep this creole alive among future generations.

		It was nice to see the extent of Chabacano used in Zamboanga - to the point that it's used in newscasts and in radio.
		Open din at walang problema ang Chavacano sa pagboborrow ng mga dayuhang salita, kaya mas madali segurong nakapagcreate at nakarealize ang mga Pinoy ng isang tunay na 'wikang Filipino' kung ibinase ito sa Chavacano; wala nang issueng kailangang pag-isipan pa tungkol sa purismo; halos kahit ano ay puede kung vocabulario ang pag-uusapan.
