[edit] Standard Spanish
Most Spaniards are forced to speak the standard, eg. Catalunyans,Basques are forced to speak Castillian in the Philippines.--Jondel 09:45, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
- I don’t know for sure if that’s accurate, but that is interesting, because I myself have never heard Catalan or Basque spoken or even mentioned by any Pinoy, including Catalans and Basques themselves. —Lagalag 10:52, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
My grandmother used to speak Valenciano as a child and was forced to speak in standard Philippine castellano.--Jondel 00:27, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Mexicans
There were actually many Mexicans in the Philippines during the colonial period. I don't know if they should be mentioned.--Jondel 01:39, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] question
why aren't there a great amount of Spanish Mestizos and/or full blooded Spaniards in the Phlipines as there is in Latin America. People have said it was because there wasn't any work in the Phlipines as there was in Latin America. What about the silk? Could it not be a great place to trade silk with the Chinese in there Spanish colony the Philipines. Well they say it was hard to get there. How? they did get there obviously. So how hard is it to get there again? Again why so many Spanish Mestizos and full blooded Spaniards in Latin America and not so many in the Phlipines. There is a fair amount of Filipinos who look or even are mistaken for Latinos. Even though Filipinos who have Spanish surnames does not always nessiarly mean they are of Spanish orgin. But surnames that were not given to familes by the Spanish and surnames not taken by the Family means they have Spanish orgin.
- There was a mass exodus of ethnic Spaniards during World War II, that’s why very few are now left. —Lagalag 15:27, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
- You mean, a mass exodus right after WW2. Not many civilians could travel during the war. --Jondel 21:11, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
