 Chabacano - Cavite's Dialect   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
While the Spaniards strove hard to learn Tagalog, the Filipinos, in turn, devised means of expressing their own by mixing Spanish with Tagalog as in the case of Cavite, Ternate and Manila; and Spanish with Visayan Ilongo and Moro, in the case of Zamboanga.
In Cavite settled the officialdom of the military group and in Manila, the cream of the Spanish Socialites.
Now, then, in Ternate we find that the Chabacano used there is not only different from our Chabacano (I say our because I am a Caviteño) because of these symbolic and metaphoric allusions, but also because they are uttered in a certain manner and expression which carry the same kind of musical tone.

 The Creole Spanish or Chabacano dialect of the Philippines
The paucity of documentation on the language(s) spoken in colonial Zamboanga and the ambiguity of the existent attestations is surprising in view of the strategic importance of this port, the southernmost city in Spanish-controlled Philippines.
The town of Ternate, where the PCS variety T is spoken, appears to have been named after the Indonesian island, and oral tradition among the Ternateños refers to the Mardikas.
In Cavite, the remaining Chabacano speakers use the language only infrequently, and bring a sense of nostalgia and sometimes pride to the occasional incursions in Chabacano, all the while laughing inwardly at this `jargon’ which they have been told is just corrupt Spanish.
