Cavite set to revive Chabacano
November 24, 2010, 9:09pm

CAVITE, Philippines – The Cavite City Council is set to pass an ordinance that will preserve and revive the Chavacano language in the area.

Cavite City, the former capital of Cavite province, is noted as one of the few areas in the Philippines where the Chavacano language is spoken.

Two others noted for the Spanish-like dialect are Ternate, also in Cavite, and Zamboanga City.

The proposed ordinance on the preservation of the language is now on its third reading at the Sangguniang Panglungsod (SP).

Majority of the councilors wanted the ordinance passed as soon as possible so that moves for the language can be implemented by January 2011.

Modernization or the changing times have made Chavacano an endangered language in Cavite City.

Only seven percent of the city population can speak the language these days, based on a local survey.

City officials and residents, mostly elderly, have moved to prevent the language from extinction.

Councilor Eduardo Novero has filed the proposed ordinance preserving and reviving the language City Tourism Officer Remedios Sto. Domingo-Ordoñez welcomed the ordinance’s approval as “it would boost tourism further in the area.”

Once the ordinance is passed, the Chavacano language, among others, will be taught in public schools and that the city or public signage will be in Chavacano.

“Habla Chavacano? The move is to turn things to Chavacano. The welcome sign will be made ‘Bienvenida,’ saying thank you will be said ‘muchos gracias,’ love ‘amor,’ among others,” said Ordoñez.

Chabacano or Chavacano is listed as one of the Creole languages in the world that is based on Spanish.

The language was virtually brought by the early Spanish settlers in Cavite City in the late 16th century.

The city is considered the second oldest area in the country after Mactan, Cebu, reportedly the first place that was discovered by Portuguese navigator Ferdinand Magellan in 1521.

Ordoñez said these days, 88 percent of the population no longer speak Chavacano. (Anthony Giron)

I just heard an amazing 2-in-1 news today! NEDA suggested that the Zamboanga International Airport be transferred to, wait for this, VITALI DISTRICT. YES, you've heard it right. V-I-T-A-L-I. BUT, luckily, Councilor Jerky Valesco said that it was ridiculous and suggested instead that the airport be transferred to the location that many of us have been suggesting: SACOL ISLAND. :colgate:

I guess the terrain in Vitali won't permit that an airport will be built in that place. Its mountainous and rare that we can find plains in that area.

DOTC completes feasibility study on P9-B Zambo city airport transfer (http://zamboangatoday.ph/index.php/news/13-top-stories/1844-dotc-completes-feasibility-study-on-p9-b-zambo-city-airport-transfer)
Friday, 26 November 2010 11:48

The final feasibility study of the transfer of the Zamboanga City airport to Barangay Talabaan has been received by local Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP), formerly Air Transportation Office (ATO), and will soon be for implementation.

In the final feasibility study, CAAP Manager Celso Bayabos said that the airport transfer project will cost the government P9 Billion.

Bayabos explained that the site in barangay Talabaan was chosen because it is already plain,and it has a few residents.

The feasibility study for the transfer of the airport according to Bayabos was done by personnel from the Department of Transportation and Communication in Manila.

According to Bayabos, the old airport in Governor Camins will be sold at the amount of P8 Billion to facilitate the transfer.

The upcoming brand new airport in Talabaan covers 170 hectares and 2,500 meter runway, the aviation official said.

By the year 2016 the new airport will be fully operational, according to the feasibility study as revealed by Bayabos.

In the process of this airport transfer 174 lots located in the area of Talabaan, Taluksangay, Mercedes and Mulu Muluan will be affected.

But Bayabos said DOTC is preparing the money to pay these lot owners.

The present Zamboanga International Airport is located in the heart of the city, stressing most of the airports in the country are not located near the center of the city proper.

Zamboanga City bags top nutrition award
by PNA/PIA9-BST

The City of Zamboanga has been adjudged as the outstanding city in the 2009 implementation of the local level plan of action for nutrition, a feat which entitles this southern port city to be an entry in the National Nutrition Council's "Green Banner Award."

City Health Officer Dr. Rodel Agbulos said Thursday the recognition was in line with the Monitoring and Evaluation of Local Plan Implementation (MELPI) for nutrition initiated by the Regional Nutrition Council and presented during the committee's third quarter meeting last Nov. 15.

The MELPI is a management tool used in assessing efficiency and effectiveness of program for nutrition improvement, Agbulos said.

Based on the evaluation, Agbulos said Zamboanga City got a final score of 91.87 percent, followed by Dipolog City with a score of 88.20 percent, and Dapitan City with 84.92 percent.

The province of Zamboanga Sibugay topped the evaluation in the provincial level while Polanco, Zamboanga del Norte, obtained the highest score among the municipalities in the region.

The Regional Nutrition Committee had deputized the Regional Nutrition Evaluation Team compose of interagency members to evaluate the 2009 nutrition plan implementation of the three provinces and five cities in the region using the standard tool provided by the National Nutrition Council.

The evaluation results had been reviewed and found to have strictly abided by the guidelines set.

The City of Zamboanga, represented by Agbulos, gets a plaque of recognition and is recommended to the National Nutrition Council as Green Banner Awardee. Zamboanga City received the prestigious "Green Banner Award" in 1996.

Green Banners and other awards will be presented on Dec. 1 during the Regional Nutrition Awarding Ceremony. Agbulos, meanwhile, announced that barangay nutrition scholar Teresita Policarpio of Barangat Tetuan was also adjuged as one of the seven 2009 Outstanding Barangay Nutrition Scholars (OBNS) in the region.

The recognition is based on the evaluation of the performance of the Barangay Nutrition Scholars in the region, he said. It is also one of the yearly activities included in the MELPI, he said

Mayor declares Nov. 25-Dec. 1 as Week of Peace in Zamboanga
Friday, 26 November 2010 11:53

Thousands of Zamboanga City residents participated in a two-hour long parade that marked the start of the local celebration of the Week of Peace 2010.

As this developed, City Mayor Celso Lobregat issued an executive order declaring November 25 to December 1 , this year as “Week of Peace in Zamboanga City”.

The announcement was made by Vice-Mayor Cesar Iturralde when he delivered the mayor’s message during the program that followed the parade at the Joaquin Enriquez Memorial Sports Complex.

“I have enjoined all Zamboanguenos from different faiths, customs and traditions to participate and engage in relevant and meaningful activities designed by the organizers to achieve and maintain our common goal for peace in the community in which we live," the mayor said in his message.

Inter-Religious Solidarity Movement for Peace (IRSMP) lead convenor Fr. Angel Calvo said in his brief speech during the program that the annual celebration is a time for city residents from all sectors to renew their commitment to peace and peace-building.

He said “we have come out together to the streets (to join the parade) to show our common concern for peace and to celebrate our diversity” as a population professing different cultural identities.

He also urged for the continued condemnation of violence in society, pointing out to the Maguindanao massacre as indicative of the conflict and violence that continue to hound and ravage the people of Mindanao.

Members of the IRSMP also delivered messages during the program. The Muslim community led by Prof. Ali Yacub said “we Muslims invite everybody to come together with us on the basis of what is common to us, which is also what is most essential to our faith and practice – the two commandments of love of God and neighbor."

The Roman Catholic community represented by PIME priest Fr. Giulio Mariani said “the demand of our mission is for a deepened understanding of other religious communities, their religiosity and their theologies, attitudes of genuine respect and reverence for other beliefs and spiritualities."

The Protestant sector said it “is also united to manifest the same promise to pursue our common aspirations to see peace not simply an abstract ide but rather a real fruit of hard work and unity."

On the other hand, the indigenous community said “we renew our commitment once more to work in the upliftment not only our own tribe but for the greatness of all. Our initiatives will ultimately bring about a harmonious relationship among the indigenous people through regeneration of culture and other peoples to achieve peace as we provide hope and empowerment to engage in peaceful means in effecting reforms in the communities and eventually safeguard our tribal identity."

Other activities will be held throughout the Week in its observance by various sectors and organizations. It is also being observed throughout Mindanao.

The opening program at the grandstand was capped by a large field demonstration participated in by students from 35 public schools in the city. Members of the IRSMP and vice-mayor Iturralde released doves to symbolize the people’s hope for peace. Press Release

Sorry, but this plan doesn't look right. Visit Laoag Airport thread and you will see a feasibility study their of the airport upgrade done by professionals. Zamboanga's proposal should look like that.

Yes, it's not final nor official. I just found it through Google images, probably the work of an ordinary, unprofessional guy who tested his skills in urban planning. :)

2500-meter runway lang man daw sabi sa article. :ohno: Pero baka initial plan palang yung 2500. :D

Sorry, but this plan doesn't look right. Visit Laoag Airport thread and you will see a feasibility study their of the airport upgrade done by professionals. Zamboanga's proposal should look like that.

^^di nman to ung original plans gawa gawa lng po ito ng isang tao..ung original plans po sa new ZIA ala pa nilabas sa public...:cheers: just wait and see...

2500-meter runway lang man daw sabi sa article. :ohno: Pero baka initial plan palang yung 2500. :D

^^^^ganun baka nagkamali ung articles niyan ang sabi nga diba it would be the biggest Airports and airports runway sa Mindanao...maybe initial lng pero kulang ung 2500 meters niyan parang old airports lng yan:lol:

take note 9 Billions ang projects cost niyan bigger than any airports in mindanao if im not mistaken

Cemetery on ond end again???? Omy!!!! :dunno:


The study actually looked on three sites which would be the new ZIA:


1. Mampang-Talon2x (Central District)
2. Mercedes-Talabaan (East District)
3. Ayala-San Ramon (West District)


WINNER: East District! ;)

^^sa east district lang kasi pwede pang lagyan ng airports dahil plain ung area...while sa may ayala it cant be kasi di nman lahat ng area ng ayala plain and ung air impact nito di maganda

^^so meaning nito stern may mga dinemolished na rin sa parte ng tabi ng Hexagon?sana may pics para kitang kita natin dito...

Yep. May structure sa tabi mismo ng Hexagon yung dinimolish na. :)

Dychauc: Bienvenidos, Zamboanga City!
By Chef Ed Dychauco
Friday, November 26, 2010



For so long a time, I wanted to visit Zamboanga City. Even when I was a kid then, Zamboanga City was like so far south that it seems so impossible to reach. I can still remember the song that goes like this, "Don't you go, don't you go too far, Zamboanga!" as to the reason why, I can't remember. I can't even remember the next lines of the song. That's how long it has been!

At any rate, I finally got the chance to visit and spent a few days there last weekend. Thanks to Ms. Mac Dang. Marketing and Business Development Manager of Altus Communications Inc. (Nokia), and Mr. Henry Ang of Shoppers Plaza, who initiated this one-of-a-kind activity.

I got a call from Ms. Mac a few weeks ago (who got my contact details from my friends, Chari and Ria of PEP Group Events in Manila). After a short negotiation, I was already in for such a wonderful and exciting trip and activity in Zamboanga City, Asia's Latin City!

I was asked repeatedly if I wanted to travel by plane or by land. Being adventurous myself, I took the long land trip. It was quite exhausting but truly breath-taking and scenic. More long and winding roads than the trip to Davao City! Passing through Iligan City, and Pagadian City, it was Ipil and Sibugay and finally to Zambo City! As I saw the welcome sign (to the city), it took me about another hour to finally reach the city proper. I was quite apprehensive because I got into the city past 7 p.m. And since it was my first time, there was an ambivalent feeling of fear and excitement.

I finally got to my destination, Grand Astoria Hotel with the help of a friend, Mr. Henry Luy of Zamboanga Carrageenan Manufacturing Corporation whom I met here in CDOC several months ago. And from there it was Mr. Marlon Alaba, Mindanao Regional Sales Manager of Altus Communications who was my guide until my culinary demonstration the following day at Sky Park Hotel.

It was a very intimate demonstration where I did a few dishes (rice, chicken & pasta) and a few baked goodies (cupcake, cake and brownie) to the delight of the participants. All finished products were tasted and recipes were handed out, too. And just like any other activity, there were picture-taking after the event for posterity's sake.

I purposely stayed for another day, since it was a Sunday anyway, so I can spend some time for some rest and recreation around the beautiful city. I got to visit the famous Pasonanca Park which I have only read in the books during my school days. Went up the famous tree house and checked out their Aviary where different species of exotic and colorful birds and fowls were seen. It was raining that day but it didn't hamper me from visiting the place.

I also got to visit the well-liked & historic Fort del Pilar (named after Nuestra Senora Virgen del Pilar) where an open chapel/church is constructed and mass held regularly, Plaza del Pilar (a revived area and newly constructed open edifice where shops selling various items can be seen against the back drop of century-old giant Acacia trees which give a very picturesque view of the place) and Paseo del Mar which is just right in front. A very well-developed, modern and clean area by the sea with restaurants and shops, illuminating the area well with those same lights we have in our own Divisoria area. There were so much people when we went there on Saturday night and then again on Sunday, being a family day.

Contrary to reports and news that we hear, Zamboanga City is a peaceful and lovely place. Police visibility is seen around the city. And that really makes a lot of difference. I find the people to be very friendly, too. They would smile at you and you just have to do the same! A city of Smiles!

Several well-known restaurants and eateries can be seen within and even outside the city proper area. Some of the restaurants I got to indulge includes: Abalone restaurant of Grand Astoria Hotel where they serve really great-tasting Chinese Seafoods. Alavar Restaurant is another upscale restaurant that serves Spanish-influenced Seafood dishes. Hai San Seafood Market and Restaurant also serve delicious Chinese-influenced foods. Jimmy's Satti is a very simple restaurant that serves chicken, puso (hanging rice) in a very good and spicy sati sauce that literally is more of a soup than a sauce. Will do another article on food find Zamboanga's food trip next week.

Visited also Myrna's Bake House along Pasonanca Street, the very best in the city in cakes and pastries. A soft-spoken lady who has been in the baking business for 25 years! She is also ably assisted by her unica hija, Ivy, a graduate of CCA, Manila.

My guide for those exhilarating & stimulating tour was none other than the tall, dark and good-looking Mr. Jude Garcines, also of Zam Carr, together with his girlfriend Lara. Of course, what is Zamboanga without visiting the Barter Trade? A shopaholic area for beautiful and colorful Batik, candies, food items, and many more. But since we went there on a Sunday, many of the shops were closed unfortunately. But I still had a lot of fun buying some batik shawls, shirts and pants, imported coffees and chocolates. I swear I could have bought more if I just have more to spend!

Many thanks to Mr. Henry Ang (who also gave me a more-than-a-kilo crab!) and Mr. Henry Luy for those wonderful & mouth-watering seafood lunch and dinner! Truly memorable and calorie-enriching diets. Looking forward to more Sea Food Diets!

Now, I should say, Hasta la Vista, Zamboanga! Till we meet again!

Yes sterno, that would be more appropriate, there was a nice rendering posted before as a suggestion. However, I'm afraid DOTC will just apply the typical Bacolod or Laguindingan prototype for budget considerations, not unless the local politicos shed their own money and insist on what they like.

But Davao's new terminal's roof looks similar to their old airport's with the NGU just spending like PHP 5 billion (in early 2000s) in total cost. So that would be like an additinal PHP 2 billion to the total cost if it were built these days. For the new ZIA, the budget is PHP 9 billion, I guess that would be enough to have the design that the airport terminal should have. :)

I admire your efforts, unfortunately, the passenger terminal is just one of the many components of an airport. The priority is civil works, navaids, support facilities then a functional and decent terminal. And if ever DOTC will get cold cash 8billion from some taipan tomorrow, you can bet 1billion because not all that cash will go to Zamboanga. You must have heard about the word "realignment". Yes, there are other airports begging to be fixed or upgraded, and we are all praying for Category 1!

DOTC completes feasibility study on P9-B Zambo city airport transfer (http://zamboangatoday.ph/index.php/news/13-top-stories/1844-dotc-completes-feasibility-study-on-p9-b-zambo-city-airport-transfer)
Friday, 26 November 2010 11:48

The final feasibility study of the transfer of the Zamboanga City airport to Barangay Talabaan has been received by local Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP), formerly Air Transportation Office (ATO), and will soon be for implementation.

In the final feasibility study, CAAP Manager Celso Bayabos said that the airport transfer project will cost the government P9 Billion.

Bayabos explained that the site in barangay Talabaan was chosen because it is already plain,and it has a few residents.

The feasibility study for the transfer of the airport according to Bayabos was done by personnel from the Department of Transportation and Communication in Manila.

According to Bayabos, the old airport in Governor Camins will be sold at the amount of P8 Billion to facilitate the transfer.

The upcoming brand new airport in Talabaan covers 170 hectares and 2,500 meter runway, the aviation official said.

By the year 2016 the new airport will be fully operational, according to the feasibility study as revealed by Bayabos.

In the process of this airport transfer 174 lots located in the area of Talabaan, Taluksangay, Mercedes and Mulu Muluan will be affected.

But Bayabos said DOTC is preparing the money to pay these lot owners.

The present Zamboanga International Airport is located in the heart of the city, stressing most of the airports in the country are not located near the center of the city proper.

You're such a pessimist and I bet you're aware of that, aren't you? It's clear that you have some kind of diabolic messages and desires hidden behind those "informative" and "helpful" posts of yours. Please, we don't need anyone to be "concerned" about what we may feel if these projects won't pursue because we believe that they will (and in the soonest possible time!). We are very optimistic about this and all other good plans for the city. And don't say that you're just stating facts or don't mean to dampen our spirits because it's totally clear that that's what you want. Hush now, will you? If you don't want these good things to happen to Zamboanga City (and of course you're going to deny that, won't you?), then just try to avoid visiting this thread. We are totally fed up with all your negative bla-bla everytime there's something good posted here. So, PLEASE, back off.

Thanks! :colgate:

But Davao's new terminal's roof looks similar to their old airport's with the NGU just spending like PHP 5 billion (in early 2000s) in total cost. So that would be like an additinal PHP 2 billion to the total cost if it were built these days. For the new ZIA, the budget is PHP 9 billion, I guess that would be enough to have the design that the airport terminal should have. :)

Bagong location ba itatayo ang new ZIA? If yes, this would cost more compared to DIA kasi nilipat lang sa other side ang Terminal ng new DIA but still utilizing the same old runway (extended and renovated IIRC). I really hope that the design of the old ZIA terminal be adopted in the new one. :)

Congrats Zambo!

Walang cheerdance sa AtFest this year. It's dangerous, time-consuming, and costly. PLUS, nobody wanted to join anyway. :)

Oh. I forgot that part. :lol: Yes, sa bagong location po. But still, PHP 9 billion would be a large sum of money, IMO. Here's a chunk of an article posted on LIA thread.

According to the Project Manager, the project itself has been postponed in the past because the project cost has been revised several times primarily because of the exchange rate. When the project was first envisioned in 1991 it was only for 900 Million Pesos. When it was revised in 2002 this was already 5.3 Billion Pesos. Today the project is already 7.853 Billion Pesos, equivalent to 167 Million US Dollars.

More or less 5 billion yung budget ng DIA na nagstart ng construction nung 2000. So more or less (ulit :lol:) maliit lang ang difference nila sa 2002 budget ng LIA na nasa 5.3 billion. So parang 2 billion din yung madagdagan sa budget ng DIA gaya nung sa LIA. :) So kung ngayon, nasa 7 billion something rin yung budget ng DIA for its new terminal, apron, control tower, parking space, and other facilities. Sa tingin ko hindi naman siguro aabot ng PHP 2 billion yung runway kaya malaki na rin yung budget na PHP 9 billion tas considering na, unlike LIA, hindi na kailangan ng LIA-like access road ng new ZIA (malaki-laki rin siguro ang ginamit na budget para sa LIA access road kasi 4.4km 4lane road din yun tas kinuha yung budget ng road sa airport budget). :colgate: Thanks po pala sa info! :D

Mas alive na tignan ang Nuñez Extension if those lanterns sa streetlights will be lighted na.

Tama! :colgate: Pero sana end or mid-november palang inilawan na. :)

Expect these projects implemented by 2011, 2011 is our year! Daming projects nakaline-up.

Earlier, a consortium of international and local investors, offered to construct a modern airport in the city under a build-operate-transfer (BOT) scheme. The proposal was given to the Air Transportation Office (ATO) by the consortium of investors from Germany, France, Japan, Guam and the Philippines. At least 16 international airlines are expected to fly between the city and its neighboring countries per Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) approval.

Dychauc: Bienvenidos, Zamboanga City!
By Chef Ed Dychauco
Friday, November 26, 2010



For so long a time, I wanted to visit Zamboanga City. Even when I was a kid then, Zamboanga City was like so far south that it seems so impossible to reach. I can still remember the song that goes like this, "Don't you go, don't you go too far, Zamboanga!" as to the reason why, I can't remember. I can't even remember the next lines of the song. That's how long it has been!

At any rate, I finally got the chance to visit and spent a few days there last weekend. Thanks to Ms. Mac Dang. Marketing and Business Development Manager of Altus Communications Inc. (Nokia), and Mr. Henry Ang of Shoppers Plaza, who initiated this one-of-a-kind activity.

I got a call from Ms. Mac a few weeks ago (who got my contact details from my friends, Chari and Ria of PEP Group Events in Manila). After a short negotiation, I was already in for such a wonderful and exciting trip and activity in Zamboanga City, Asia's Latin City!

I was asked repeatedly if I wanted to travel by plane or by land. Being adventurous myself, I took the long land trip. It was quite exhausting but truly breath-taking and scenic. More long and winding roads than the trip to Davao City! Passing through Iligan City, and Pagadian City, it was Ipil and Sibugay and finally to Zambo City! As I saw the welcome sign (to the city), it took me about another hour to finally reach the city proper. I was quite apprehensive because I got into the city past 7 p.m. And since it was my first time, there was an ambivalent feeling of fear and excitement.

I finally got to my destination, Grand Astoria Hotel with the help of a friend, Mr. Henry Luy of Zamboanga Carrageenan Manufacturing Corporation whom I met here in CDOC several months ago. And from there it was Mr. Marlon Alaba, Mindanao Regional Sales Manager of Altus Communications who was my guide until my culinary demonstration the following day at Sky Park Hotel.

It was a very intimate demonstration where I did a few dishes (rice, chicken & pasta) and a few baked goodies (cupcake, cake and brownie) to the delight of the participants. All finished products were tasted and recipes were handed out, too. And just like any other activity, there were picture-taking after the event for posterity's sake.

I purposely stayed for another day, since it was a Sunday anyway, so I can spend some time for some rest and recreation around the beautiful city. I got to visit the famous Pasonanca Park which I have only read in the books during my school days. Went up the famous tree house and checked out their Aviary where different species of exotic and colorful birds and fowls were seen. It was raining that day but it didn't hamper me from visiting the place.

I also got to visit the well-liked & historic Fort del Pilar (named after Nuestra Senora Virgen del Pilar) where an open chapel/church is constructed and mass held regularly, Plaza del Pilar (a revived area and newly constructed open edifice where shops selling various items can be seen against the back drop of century-old giant Acacia trees which give a very picturesque view of the place) and Paseo del Mar which is just right in front. A very well-developed, modern and clean area by the sea with restaurants and shops, illuminating the area well with those same lights we have in our own Divisoria area. There were so much people when we went there on Saturday night and then again on Sunday, being a family day.

Contrary to reports and news that we hear, Zamboanga City is a peaceful and lovely place. Police visibility is seen around the city. And that really makes a lot of difference. I find the people to be very friendly, too. They would smile at you and you just have to do the same! A city of Smiles!

Several well-known restaurants and eateries can be seen within and even outside the city proper area. Some of the restaurants I got to indulge includes: Abalone restaurant of Grand Astoria Hotel where they serve really great-tasting Chinese Seafoods. Alavar Restaurant is another upscale restaurant that serves Spanish-influenced Seafood dishes. Hai San Seafood Market and Restaurant also serve delicious Chinese-influenced foods. Jimmy's Satti is a very simple restaurant that serves chicken, puso (hanging rice) in a very good and spicy sati sauce that literally is more of a soup than a sauce. Will do another article on food find Zamboanga's food trip next week.

Visited also Myrna's Bake House along Pasonanca Street, the very best in the city in cakes and pastries. A soft-spoken lady who has been in the baking business for 25 years! She is also ably assisted by her unica hija, Ivy, a graduate of CCA, Manila.

My guide for those exhilarating & stimulating tour was none other than the tall, dark and good-looking Mr. Jude Garcines, also of Zam Carr, together with his girlfriend Lara. Of course, what is Zamboanga without visiting the Barter Trade? A shopaholic area for beautiful and colorful Batik, candies, food items, and many more. But since we went there on a Sunday, many of the shops were closed unfortunately. But I still had a lot of fun buying some batik shawls, shirts and pants, imported coffees and chocolates. I swear I could have bought more if I just have more to spend!

Many thanks to Mr. Henry Ang (who also gave me a more-than-a-kilo crab!) and Mr. Henry Luy for those wonderful & mouth-watering seafood lunch and dinner! Truly memorable and calorie-enriching diets. Looking forward to more Sea Food Diets!

Now, I should say, Hasta la Vista, Zamboanga! Till we meet again!

sterno, if the source is reliable then that is a good sign. I'm surprised Bayabos did not mention that in the press release. The request for proposals is a public announcement to all consultants who wishes to present their services to dotc. Depending on which consortium will present the most cost-effective budget, there is good chance the consulting architects will pursue the architecture of the existing airport. DOTC will shortlist the candidates until the final one is picked, so hold your breath because it will be long process and it can be messy. Remember, T3 is still healing from the wounds of Piatco fiasco.

that's exactly the point; assuming DOTC has learned its lessons well from t3, there will be more scrutiny in reading the fine prints of the contract and qualification process for the consortiums before they issue " notice to proceed", that is for the awarded consultants to start site plan, design devt, and DE dwgs. By the way, this is just contract document phase which will take 2 yrs at least, not construction. Read carefully and tell me, is this a negative comment?, sorry, those are facts.

INFLUENCIA ASIÁTICA EN EL CHAVACANO DE FILIPINAS
Por Guillermo Gómez Rivera
Academia Filipina de la Lengua
Correspondiente de la R. A. E.
Manila

1. EL CALÓ CHINO DE BINONDO

Lo curioso es que hasta los chinos radicados en Filipinas, particularmente los chinos cristianos que prefirían residir en los confines de sus respectivos "Parianes", --nombre que significa "misión china" y que deriva de la palabra "pari" que, a su vez, proviene de la palabra castellana "padre", (es decir: "padre misionero",) -- también evolucionaron su propio chabacano que se denominó "el caló chino de Binondo" o "el lenguaje del Parian".
El caló chino de Binondo es otro chabacano, o criollo, que originó del comerciante chino cristiano desde el comienzo de la trata de los galeones de Manila. A partir de ese tiempo, era el idioma popular de la compra y venta al por mayor y al por menor.
"-¿Cuánto éste, Señolía ?
"-Doh peso no mah."
"-¡Aba! Polque ansina de caro tamén ese ?
"-Polque no hay encontrá voh lo mismo en otlo lugal."

El caló chino quedó como el "lenguaje del negocio", o de la "compraventa" en casi todo Filipinas entre los compradores y vendedores chinos. Las transacciones comerciales se llevaban a cabo en este caló desde las postremerias del siglo dieciseis hasta poco después de la segunda guerra mundial que, en Filipinas, terminó en 1945.
2. ORÍGEN DEL CHAVACANO DE DAVAO

El chavacano de Davao se originó de emigrados zamboangueños a esta localidad. Pero, cuando Davao se abrió para el mayor cultivo del abacá, los negociantes chinos de Binondo que se fueron a vivir en aquella ciudad de Mindanao Oriental llevaron su chabacano chino-español por aquellas latitudes. Hubo, luego, un encuentro y una fusión entre el chabacano de Zambonaga y el caló chino de Binondo. De ese contacto se consolida un tanto el chabacano de Davao.
Pero llegó otra influencia más durante el tiempo americano. Y esa es la influencia japonesa.
De hecho, aunque se apoderasen, más tarde, los emigrantes japoneses del comercio del abacá en Davao, organizando grandes haciendas para cultivar esta planta de la que se producen las famosas jarcias de Manila, el caló chino de Binondo, traido durante las postremerías del tiempo español, fue inicialmente adoptado, por los japoneses, como su lengua.
Con el tiempo, el caló de Binondo traido a Davao, vino a desarrollarse junto al chavacano de Zamboanga, que pareció acercarse más al español corriente de Flipinas por el influjo de nuevos emigrantes chinos, que ya hablaban un español corriente, y que también se asenteron en Davao.
El statu oficial del idioma español estaba vigente y aunque, en 1935, el gobierno colonial usense estaba en su feroz apogeo de imponer obligatoriamente, y en todas las facetas de la vida filipina, el inglés como la única lengua oficial del país, los nuevos emigrantes chinos de aquella época, aun conocidos como " los advenedizos" en los distintos Parianes, prefirieron adoptar el idioma español por encima del inglés.
La preferencia por el español, además de ser una opción práctica; porque, quiéranlo o no los usenses neocolonialistas, predominaba en todas las islas, también podría interpretarse como una reacción en contra de los opresores usenses que, a raíz de lo que parecía ser su nata soberbia y obvio discrímen racial, les gritaba en inglés y les obligaba, casi a residir en Davao como "una solución, a lo que consideraban en aquel tiempo, como el problema de la sobre-emigración china a Filipinas".
Al paso que los advenedizos chinos aprendían el español, el antiguo caló se transformaba, con ayuda del criollo zamboangueño y del mismo idioma español. Esta transformación en su escenario davaoense, lo aproximaba cada vez más al español corriente.
3. INFLUENCIA JAPONESA

Con la subsiguinte emigración japonesa a Davao, muchas palabras japonesas también entraron en este mismo vernáculo hasta el punto de casi engendrar otra variante más que se recuerda hasta nuestros días; porque ciertas declaraciones hechas ante los tribunales de Davao, poco antes de la segunda guerra mundial, se hicieron en este medio.
En una tésis presentada por la maestra davaoeña de español, Clarita Cortés Vasques, ante el Instituto de Cooperación Iberoamericana de Madrid, durante el Curso XIX, se recogen las siguientes muestras del chavacano de Davao tal como lo hablaban los chinos y los japoneses. (Vease el apendice de la tésis: "La influencia del español en Filipinas: Como hablaban los japoneses y los chinos en Davao", Manila, 1985.)

El variante chino es como sigue:
-Señor, yo vino aqui para pedir vos ayuda. Yo quiere prestá contigo diez pesos. Ese ba hija tiene mucho calentura. Necesita llevá doctor.
-Conching. ¿Dónde ikaw (tu) papa? ¿No hay pa llega?
-Llega noche ya. ¿Cosa quiere ako habala cuando llega papa?
-Ako (yo) habala ese esposa mio, paciencia plimelo (primero). Cuando male negocio, come nugaw (lugaw-puré de arroz). Pero, cuando bueno negocio, patay manok (matar y servir un pollo).
-¡Corre pronto! ¡Cae aguacero ! Yo habla contigo cuando sale casa lleva payong (paraguas). No quiere ahora mucho mojao.
-¿Ese ba Tinong (Florentino) no hay vergüenza? Anda visita casa ese novia, come ya allí. Ese papa novia, regaña mucho. Ese Tinong, no hay colocación. ¿Cosa dale comé esposa después?

El variante japones es como sigue:
-¿Por que usted no anda paseo? Karâ (nada) tiene coche. Viaje usted. ¿Cosa hace dinero? Trabaja mucho. No gozá.
-Usted mirá porque yo no regañá ese hijo mío grande. Día-día sale casa. Ese ba igual andá oficina. Pero día-día pide dinero.
-Señora. Yo dale este pescado usted. No grande, pero mucho bueno. Ese kirey (bello) y muy bonito. (Op.cit.)

Si no fuesen, ----nos dicen entendidos davaoeños----, por los penosos estragos causados en el pueblo a raíz de la segunda guerra mundial, por la cual Filipinas fue invadida y ocupada militarmente por los japoneses y luego devastada por el bombardeo “liberador” de los norteamericanos, la dislocación, cuando no la destrucción, adrede de todo no hubiese causado el comienzo de la desaparición del criollo de Davao.
El citado chabacano de Davao podría haberse re-encontrado, más aun, con el de Cotabato y el de Zamboanga para así formar una verdadera lingua franca mindanaoense que, sin duda, hubiese perdurado hasta nuestros días como una base viva por la que se podría mejor adquirir un dominio pleno del español como la lengua oficial que ya era de toda Filipinas. ggr_flamenco@hotmail.com

Propositions about Zamboangueño Party-List
Por Guillermo Gómez Rivera
Academia Filipina de la Lengua
Correspondiente de la R. A. E.
Manila


Queridos amigos:
Por el Sr.Andreas Herbig, he leido (I have read) sobre (about) las investigaciones del Dr. Sonie Sicat y los Sres.Alfredo y Armando; el "Centro de estnario chavacano" (What is estnario?), "Zamboanga City's own heritage Foundation",y otras instituciones y personas interesadas en la defensa de los idiomas Chavacano y Español.
Y mi comentario es:
(1)There must be a political dimension to this matter. (Debe haber una dimensión política sobre este asunto).
Por dimensión politica me refiero a la formación de un PARTY-LIST integrado por no menos de sesenta mil votantes registrados que muy bien se podría organizar en la misma Ciudad de Zamboanga.
Este PARTY-LIST podría luego enviar (can send) un representante a la Legislatura Filipina y desde allí luchar (struggle)por la cabal (proper) adjudicación de créditos en unidades(credits in units) a la enseñanza (to the teaching) del idioma español en la secundaria (high school) y en el colegiado (college) tal como lo tiene provisto (as it is provided for)la misma constitución filipina de 1987 en su sección 7, Artículo XIV (Spanish and Arabic shall be promoted on an optional and voluntary basis;---,the phrase "shall be promoted" is interpreted by the Supreme Court as "SHALL BE TAUGHT" (DEBE ENSEÑARSE) per its Resolution dated 28 January, 1988,on G.R. No. 78436).
Pero, es claro (But it is clear that)que esta provisión no se quiere poner en ejecución (is deliberately mis-implemented) como es debido porque la CHED (Commission on Higher Education), en su CMO (in its Circular-Memo-Order) #59, S.0f 1996, no ha adjudicado (has not adjudicated 12 units at least) créditos en unidades (que serian 12 por lo menos) para la enseñanza del español y el árabe a opción, o elección, de los alumnos tal como debe ser.
El CHED está, muy al parecer, saboteando muy adrede (deliberately undermining) lo que manda la misma Constitución al no querer adjudicar un número adecuado de unidades para acreditar el español, o el árabe, en el programa de estudios secundarios y universitarios CUANDO EXPIDIó SU cmo #59,s.OF 1996.
Esta omisión adrede es una (this deliberate mis-implementation by ommision is a deliberate) ofensa, un insulto, a todos los países de habla española y de habla árabe del mundo (to all the Hispanic and Arabic countries).
(2)All Zamboangueños and all Spanish-speaking Filipinos should rally all the Tagalog speaking Filipinos, along with those who are Visayan (Cebuano, Ilongo, Sinamar-Leyteño, Cuyunin ang Aclan), to object to the ramming into Tagalog of the entire English Alphabet along with its syllabication and spelling because it is turning Tagalog, (the Basis of Filipino), along with all our major native languages into vile pidgins of English. We will all sound very soon as Papua New Guinea, as the New Hebridans, as the Solomones whose native languages have been destroyed by the imposition in them of the anti-phonetic English alphabet. Teach the English alphabet in classes of the English language. Do not teach it in Filipino language classes. This is a crime against our own people!
All our native languages, including Chavacano,are not pidgin languages because they already have their own grammar system and their own literature and correct forms of usage. To subject all of them, through the national language called Filipino, to the unphonetic English Alphabet is not only to "pidginize them" but actually debase and destroy them in the most deliberately reacherous manner. All our native languages follow the rule: Kung ano ang bigkas, siya ang súlat, at, kung anó ang súlat, siya rin ang bigkas. (Lo que se articula se escribe y lo que se escribe se articula o pronuncia/ What is said is written as it is said and what is written is said as it is written). Este reglamento no existe dentro del idioma Inglés, y es por eso que la imposición por Ponciano B. P. Pineda, del alfabeto Ingles en el Tagalo/Filipino, mediante su "DIKSYUNARYONG FILIPINO-ENGLISH"(Komisyon ng Wikang Filipino,1992,páginas v, vi, y vii)viene a ser un genocidio cultural y lingüístico, un crímen de lesa lengua y cultura filipinas, si no se levanta un movimiento para exponerlo como el mal que es dentro de la ecología lingüística de Filipinas.
(3)Lo que debemos restaurar, tanto en el chavacano como en el tagalog, en el bisaya, en el ilocano y en todas nuestras principales lenguas nativas, es el alfabeto Filipino de 32 letras, tal como nos lo utilizaron nuestros literatos y grandes genios del pasado como Francisco Balagtás, el padre de la lengua tagala, y como de los Ilocanos y los primeros redactores del "Magagtás" de Panay.
(4)Todos los que son maestros y profesors del idioma Filipino deben rechazar de inmediato la imposición del alfabeto Inglés en sus clases de Tagalo/Filipino. Deben en cambio usar el originario alfabeto de Balagtas cuyas letras se leen con la E batangueña que lo hacen muy parecidas a las letras del alfabeto español salvo en el caso de ciertas letras como Nang (Ng) y Ñg (ñga).
Aquí está el originario alfabeto Filipino con la pronunciación de cada una de sus letras:
A (ah), B (be), C (se), Ch (se-atse), D (de), E (eh), F (ephe), G (he), H (atse), I (ih), J (hota), K (ka), L (ele), LL (elye), M (eme), N (ene), NG (nang), Ñ (enye), ÑG (ñga), O (oh), P (pe), Q (ku), R (ere),RR (er-re), S (ese), T (te), U (uh), V (ve), W (wa), X (ekis), Ya (o, i griega o ye), Z (seta).
Con estas dos medidas (with these 2 measures), se habrían salvaguardado (safeguarded) el chavacano juntamente con el (together with)tagalog, el bisaya, el ilocano, el mismo idioma español en Filipinas y el resto de las lenguas nativas de este archipiélago.
Saludos.

EL IDIOMA CRIOLLO DE FILIPINAS
Por Guillermo Gómez Rivera
Academia Filipina de la Lengua
Correspondiente de la R. A. E.

EL ORIGEN DEL CRIOLLO ZAMBOANGUEÑO

Los comienzos del chabacano, hoy denominado también como "el criollo zamboangueño", se araigan en la misma fundación del pueblo y fuerte de Zamboanga en marzo de 1635.
Don Balbino Saavedra, el reconocido historiador de Zamboanga y Basilan, nos cuenta que fue en una fecha anterior, pero dentro del mismo mes de marzo de 1635, cuando el Capitan Juan Chávez zarpaba, con tres cientos españoles y mil soldados visayos, provenientes del Fuerte de San Pedro de la Villa de Cebú, a lo que era "Samboañgan", una ranchería de la tribu medio-musulmana de lutaos y subanos del sud-occidente de Mindanao.
( La palabra "Lutao" en bisaya significa "flotante" o "gente" que flota con el mar". La lengua más extendida entre los moros filipinos, el Tausug, da la misma definición al nombre "Lutao".)
Unos días después de la llegada del mencionado Capitán Chávez, el misionero español, Fray Pedro Gutiérrez, posiblemente un agustino calzado, también llegaba a Samboañgan con un enorme grupo de islenos cristianos que, procedentes de varios puntos de Luzón y Visayas, se habían previamente reunido en el pueblo de Dapitan, situado en el norte de lo que hoy es la península de ambas Zamboangas, ( la del Norte y la del Sur ), para verse conducidos a la misma ranchería sureña por un noble indio lutao que se llamó Pedro Piantón.
Los que integraban el enorme grupo del Padre Gutiérrez hablaban varias lenguas isleñas y a duras penas se entendían mutuamente.
Aunque los pertinentes documentos históricos sobre Zamboanga no lo digan tácitamente, se puede entrever la decisiva intención, por parte de los conquistadores españoles, de fundar Zamboanga e instalar en ella un fuerte con el objectivo de socavar la supremaciá naval de los moros en el sur del archipiélago filipino. Con la primera piedra de ese mismo fuerte empezó, en 1635, el idioma criollo de Zamboanga.
Hay otra fuente que nos cuenta, sin embargo, que era desde el año 1585, o sea 14 años después de la fundación de Manila y del Estado Filipino por Leguspi, cuando otro misionero agustino en el P. Diego del Rosario llegó a predicar en la Caldera de Ba-y, o en el Recodo, entre los subanos, por el que tuvo que utilizar un castellano mezclado con palabras del vernáculo local para decir sus semones. (Origins of Chavacano,The Tribune, 12 enero 2001).
Pero, como la construcción, después de todo, del Fuerte de Nuestra Señora del Pilar en Zamboanga tenía por objetivo separar, mediante un semibloqueo naval, a los moros de Joló de los de Cotabato y de los que poblaban aisladamente el centro de Mindanao, el hecho de que el idioma chabacano empezase con la construcción del mismo en 1635, es el que queda establecido en los anales de la historia. Cotabato también era un foco musulman, y muy particularmente para los moros de las provincias que hoy se conocen con los nombres de Lanao del Norte y del Sur. (El nombre español de estas dos provincias muy posiblemente derivan de la frase castellama "La nao").
El mencionado bloqueo naval consiguió, muy al parecer, la desunión entre los moros del ya distante archipiélago joloano, que se encuentra más próximo a los estados musulmanes de Malasia y Brunay, frente a los que se encuentran en Cotabato y Lanao en el centro casi de la isla de Mindanao.
(* La Nao de Manila: asi se llamaba cada una de las naves españolas, colectivamente conocidas como "los galeones de Acapulco", que negociaba la enorme distancia entre Mexico y Manila durante un periodo de más de dos siglos. Constituían el único eslabón político, mercantil y cultural, entre las Islas Filipinas y el antiguo Virreynato de la Nueva España, hoy Mexico).
Las aludidas provincias de Lanao tomaron su nombre de un buque de guerra que los españoles, según una casi olvidada tradición, desmantelaron en Oroquieta, Misamis Oriental, y que llevaron, pedazo por pedazo, a la laguna de La Nao, que se encuentra miles de pies sobre el mar, donde nos lo reconstituyeron para que subyugue a cañonazos a las tribus moras que vivian en derredor del mismo.
Es por eso que dicho lago y las dos provincias en su derredor comparten el mismo nombre de "Lanao". (Tomado de un Relato de Don Balbino Saavedra, ilustre zamboangueño que pasó a vivir en Basilan.)
(......................................)

EL ZAMBOANGUEÑO SE CONSOLIDA

La infraestructura de la ciudad zamboangueña y la construcción del Fuerte del Pilar tenían que realizarse de prisa. Y, con el mismo paso presuroso se tenía que superar la barrera idiomática entre tantos súbditos cristianos traidos de Cebú a Zamboanga frente a los mismos lutaos y, o, subanos, de la zona.
Los tres cientos españoles bajo el mando del Capitan Chávez y el Fraile Gutiérrez no podían aprenderse, a la vez, el tagalo, el bisaya, el ilocano, el pampango y tantas otras lenguas nativas que el grupo multi-étnico hablaba para confusión de todos.
La solución fue hablar en un castellano infantil a todos los indígenas que, a su vez, no tardaron mucho en asimilarlo para entenderse en los promenores de la construcción del Fuerte del Pilar y de la que luego sería la Villa de Zamboanga.
En poco tiempo, los indígenas cristianos ya se acostumbraron a comunicarse en aquel castellano rudimentario que, inconcientemente, iban ajustando a la estructura de sus respectivos idiomas nativos. De la necesidad de comunicarse, para recibir órdenes y pedir favores, nació lo que en una generación vendría a ser el chabacano de Zamboanga.
Desde aquel tiempo, el criollo de Zamboanga vino desarrollándose dentro del aislamiento en que vivía aquella población y por un periodo de dos cientos años. Es todo el tiempo en que también duraron las denominadas "guerras moras".
Mas, la villa y fortaleza de Zamboanga supervivieron invencibles.
A pesar de la hostilidad con que se veía rodeada, aquella valiente población, con su lengua vernácula y su cultura hispana, maduró irreversiblemente.
El único contacto "de afuera" con que contaba la población zamboangueña fue el que daba el soldado español y el soldado filipino de habla-castellana.
Estos llegaban de Manila, de Cebú o de Iloilo para enfrentarse con los moros que incumplian su adhesión jurada a la autoridad central en Manila tal como fue establecida por el Sínodo de 1599 y tal como fue afirmada, más tarde, por el Sultan Alimudín de Joló.

BASE DE LA COMUNIDAD ZAMBOANGUEÑA

Con el tiempo, muchos soldados españoles se casaron con mujeres lutaos y subanos, y estas familias hispano-indígenas formaron la base de lo que es la población zamboangueña que habla en criollo en la intimidad de sus hogares y en castellano al confesarse y al alternar socialmente con una creciente élite zamboangueña que, a su vez, siempre había preferido el "castellano bien puro" como su timbre de distinción.
Y es que, los que presumían de distinguidos admonizaban, a cada paso, a los que les hablaban en chabacano con un:
"¡Perdone usté, pero yo no ta siempre conversá ansina na guiod en el lenguaje de tienda. ¡Conversá vos tamén en castellano!"
Durante los incontables enfrentamientos militares en que los soldados españoles y filipinos tenían que luchar en contra de las levantiscas huestes moras, la entera población zamboangueña se movilizaba para cuidar de heridos y enfermos.
Y éstos soldados, como eran de Manila y otras provincias cristianas del archipiélago, no dominaban muy bien el chabacano de Zamboanga. De hecho, el idioma utilizado tenía que ser el propio castellano aunque tuviese sus imperfecciones.
Pero, es también un hecho que este criollo del español, sea el de Zamboanga o el de Manila y Cavite, llegó a extenderse, a la larga, como la "lingua franca" de todos los habitantes del archipiélago filipino. El criollo o chabacano, irrespectivo de origen, lo utilizaban los filipinos para entenderse con los españoles y con sus compatriotas de otra lengua nativa.
Y, al par que se extendía el castellano como la lengua oficial del comercio y de la educación, el chabacano, en general, seguía como una alternativa eficaz para los que no podían completar su dominio del español ya que sus estudios primarios en las escuelas parroquiales es lo único que completarían.

MAS SOBRE EL CRIOLLO
(añadido el 19/01/01).

Todos estamos de acuerdo que el inglés es internacional, pero su estructura fonética es todo lo opuesto a la misma estructura de nuestras lenguas indígenas, y forzar su alfabeto, por medio del mismo sistema educativo pagado por contribuyentes filipinos, es un genocidio que se hace a costa del mismo que paga por su supuesta educación. Y esto lo tenemos que atajar porque es un crimen de lesa cultura y lengua filipinas.
(PD: Por cierto que esta nota deriva del interesante cambio entre Liz Medina, desde Chile, y Andreas Herbig, desde Alemania: A un punto, Andreas pregunta sobre las raíces de las lenguas filipinas).
Las raíces son principalmente dos: la indígena malayo-polinesa y la española. Según el Cuadro de Raíces del Tagalo, tal como fue preparado por el Instituto de Lengua Nacional (Surian ng Wikang Pambansâ).
Los elementos son:
Número total de raíces: 8,500
De orígen malayo, indonesio (polinesio):3,000
De orígen español: 5,000
De origen asiático(chino;japonés;sáscrito-hindu):500
Se tiene que hablar de raíces porque la gramática tagala, como la ilocana, bisaya, bicolana, etcétera, se realiza a base de prefijos, infijos y sufijos.
Por ejemplo, la palabra "ocupar" en tagalo cobra las siguientes formas verbales al ser 'conjugada' según sus afijos.
ino-ukupá---nos lo están ocupando
ukupa-hin--nos lo va a ocupar
ni-okupá----nos lo ocupó
mag-okupá---vaya a ocupar(lo)
nag-okupá---se fue a ocupar(lo)
ina-okupá--nos lo hizo ocupar
pinapa-okupá---nos lo deja ocupar.
En las formas que preceden, el verbo 'ocupar' se convierte en raíz tagala antes 'okupá' y a base de esta raíz se le aplica los afijos para conjugarla.
El verbo 'ocupar' también se puede reducir a su otra raíz más breve que es "upa" que en este sentido viene a significar "alquilar".
upa-------------alquilar
umupa;magupa----vaya a alquilar
nañguñgupa------el que está alquilando
ino-upahan------está alquilando
nag-upa---------(lo) alquiló
mag-u-upa-------va a alquilar
El bisaya, como el ilocano, tiene sus respectivos afijos que es lo que lo hace distinto del tagalo y del ilocano, amén de las distintas raíces indígenas que pudiera tener.
Las raíces que unen a todas las lengas isleñas son precisamente las que provinieron del castellano.
De ahí la fundamental importancia y necesidad del castellano como elemento unificador de nuestras lenguas indígenas.
Los usenses nos quieren destruir esta unidad lingüística forzando el alfabeto y deletreo inglés en estas lenguas.
Si el idioma inglés fuese fonético como lo son nuestras lenguas, su introducción a la fuerza no sería dañina a la entera fonología indígena. Pero el inglés es antifonético porque no se pronuncia como se escribe. Es por eso que la misma Comission on Filipino al imponer adrede el alfabeto inglés en el tagalo comete un verdadero genocidio porque nos lo destruye todo. En cambio el español, por fonético, no estorba la estructura originaria de nuestras lenguas indígenas. Por el contrario, las enriquece. Esto no lo quieren comprender los paisanos que tenemos que escandalosamente se entregan al servilismo vergonzante a todo lo usense, particularmente a lo que es dañino e irracional. ggr_flamenco@hotmail.com

INFLUENCIA ASIÁTICA EN EL CHAVACANO DE FILIPINAS
Por Guillermo Gómez Rivera
Academia Filipina de la Lengua
Correspondiente de la R. A. E.
Manila

1. EL CALÓ CHINO DE BINONDO

Lo curioso es que hasta los chinos radicados en Filipinas, particularmente los chinos cristianos que prefirían residir en los confines de sus respectivos "Parianes", --nombre que significa "misión china" y que deriva de la palabra "pari" que, a su vez, proviene de la palabra castellana "padre", (es decir: "padre misionero",) -- también evolucionaron su propio chabacano que se denominó "el caló chino de Binondo" o "el lenguaje del Parian".
El caló chino de Binondo es otro chabacano, o criollo, que originó del comerciante chino cristiano desde el comienzo de la trata de los galeones de Manila. A partir de ese tiempo, era el idioma popular de la compra y venta al por mayor y al por menor.
"-¿Cuánto éste, Señolía ?
"-Doh peso no mah."
"-¡Aba! Polque ansina de caro tamén ese ?
"-Polque no hay encontrá voh lo mismo en otlo lugal."

El caló chino quedó como el "lenguaje del negocio", o de la "compraventa" en casi todo Filipinas entre los compradores y vendedores chinos. Las transacciones comerciales se llevaban a cabo en este caló desde las postremerias del siglo dieciseis hasta poco después de la segunda guerra mundial que, en Filipinas, terminó en 1945.
2. ORÍGEN DEL CHAVACANO DE DAVAO

El chavacano de Davao se originó de emigrados zamboangueños a esta localidad. Pero, cuando Davao se abrió para el mayor cultivo del abacá, los negociantes chinos de Binondo que se fueron a vivir en aquella ciudad de Mindanao Oriental llevaron su chabacano chino-español por aquellas latitudes. Hubo, luego, un encuentro y una fusión entre el chabacano de Zambonaga y el caló chino de Binondo. De ese contacto se consolida un tanto el chabacano de Davao.
Pero llegó otra influencia más durante el tiempo americano. Y esa es la influencia japonesa.
De hecho, aunque se apoderasen, más tarde, los emigrantes japoneses del comercio del abacá en Davao, organizando grandes haciendas para cultivar esta planta de la que se producen las famosas jarcias de Manila, el caló chino de Binondo, traido durante las postremerías del tiempo español, fue inicialmente adoptado, por los japoneses, como su lengua.
Con el tiempo, el caló de Binondo traido a Davao, vino a desarrollarse junto al chavacano de Zamboanga, que pareció acercarse más al español corriente de Flipinas por el influjo de nuevos emigrantes chinos, que ya hablaban un español corriente, y que también se asenteron en Davao.
El statu oficial del idioma español estaba vigente y aunque, en 1935, el gobierno colonial usense estaba en su feroz apogeo de imponer obligatoriamente, y en todas las facetas de la vida filipina, el inglés como la única lengua oficial del país, los nuevos emigrantes chinos de aquella época, aun conocidos como " los advenedizos" en los distintos Parianes, prefirieron adoptar el idioma español por encima del inglés.
La preferencia por el español, además de ser una opción práctica; porque, quiéranlo o no los usenses neocolonialistas, predominaba en todas las islas, también podría interpretarse como una reacción en contra de los opresores usenses que, a raíz de lo que parecía ser su nata soberbia y obvio discrímen racial, les gritaba en inglés y les obligaba, casi a residir en Davao como "una solución, a lo que consideraban en aquel tiempo, como el problema de la sobre-emigración china a Filipinas".
Al paso que los advenedizos chinos aprendían el español, el antiguo caló se transformaba, con ayuda del criollo zamboangueño y del mismo idioma español. Esta transformación en su escenario davaoense, lo aproximaba cada vez más al español corriente.
3. INFLUENCIA JAPONESA

Con la subsiguinte emigración japonesa a Davao, muchas palabras japonesas también entraron en este mismo vernáculo hasta el punto de casi engendrar otra variante más que se recuerda hasta nuestros días; porque ciertas declaraciones hechas ante los tribunales de Davao, poco antes de la segunda guerra mundial, se hicieron en este medio.
En una tésis presentada por la maestra davaoeña de español, Clarita Cortés Vasques, ante el Instituto de Cooperación Iberoamericana de Madrid, durante el Curso XIX, se recogen las siguientes muestras del chavacano de Davao tal como lo hablaban los chinos y los japoneses. (Vease el apendice de la tésis: "La influencia del español en Filipinas: Como hablaban los japoneses y los chinos en Davao", Manila, 1985.)

El variante chino es como sigue:
-Señor, yo vino aqui para pedir vos ayuda. Yo quiere prestá contigo diez pesos. Ese ba hija tiene mucho calentura. Necesita llevá doctor.
-Conching. ¿Dónde ikaw (tu) papa? ¿No hay pa llega?
-Llega noche ya. ¿Cosa quiere ako habala cuando llega papa?
-Ako (yo) habala ese esposa mio, paciencia plimelo (primero). Cuando male negocio, come nugaw (lugaw-puré de arroz). Pero, cuando bueno negocio, patay manok (matar y servir un pollo).
-¡Corre pronto! ¡Cae aguacero ! Yo habla contigo cuando sale casa lleva payong (paraguas). No quiere ahora mucho mojao.
-¿Ese ba Tinong (Florentino) no hay vergüenza? Anda visita casa ese novia, come ya allí. Ese papa novia, regaña mucho. Ese Tinong, no hay colocación. ¿Cosa dale comé esposa después?

El variante japones es como sigue:
-¿Por que usted no anda paseo? Karâ (nada) tiene coche. Viaje usted. ¿Cosa hace dinero? Trabaja mucho. No gozá.
-Usted mirá porque yo no regañá ese hijo mío grande. Día-día sale casa. Ese ba igual andá oficina. Pero día-día pide dinero.
-Señora. Yo dale este pescado usted. No grande, pero mucho bueno. Ese kirey (bello) y muy bonito. (Op.cit.)

El citado chabacano de Davao podría haberse re-encontrado, más aun, con el de Cotabato y el de Zamboanga para así formar una verdadera lingua franca mindanaoense que, sin duda, hubiese perdurado hasta nuestros días como una base viva por la que se podría mejor adquirir un dominio pleno del español como la lengua oficial que ya era de toda Filipinas. ggr_flamenco@hotmail.com

INFLUENCIA ASIÁTICA EN EL CHAVACANO DE FILIPINAS
Por Guillermo Gómez Rivera
Academia Filipina de la Lengua
Correspondiente de la R. A. E.
Manila

1. EL CALÓ CHINO DE BINONDO

Lo curioso es que hasta los chinos radicados en Filipinas, particularmente los chinos cristianos que prefirían residir en los confines de sus respectivos "Parianes", --nombre que significa "misión china" y que deriva de la palabra "pari" que, a su vez, proviene de la palabra castellana "padre", (es decir: "padre misionero",) -- también evolucionaron su propio chabacano que se denominó "el caló chino de Binondo" o "el lenguaje del Parian".
El caló chino de Binondo es otro chabacano, o criollo, que originó del comerciante chino cristiano desde el comienzo de la trata de los galeones de Manila. A partir de ese tiempo, era el idioma popular de la compra y venta al por mayor y al por menor.
"-¿Cuánto éste, Señolía ?
"-Doh peso no mah."
"-¡Aba! Polque ansina de caro tamén ese ?
"-Polque no hay encontrá voh lo mismo en otlo lugal."

El caló chino quedó como el "lenguaje del negocio", o de la "compraventa" en casi todo Filipinas entre los compradores y vendedores chinos. Las transacciones comerciales se llevaban a cabo en este caló desde las postremerias del siglo dieciseis hasta poco después de la segunda guerra mundial que, en Filipinas, terminó en 1945.
2. ORÍGEN DEL CHAVACANO DE DAVAO

El chavacano de Davao se originó de emigrados zamboangueños a esta localidad. Pero, cuando Davao se abrió para el mayor cultivo del abacá, los negociantes chinos de Binondo que se fueron a vivir en aquella ciudad de Mindanao Oriental llevaron su chabacano chino-español por aquellas latitudes. Hubo, luego, un encuentro y una fusión entre el chabacano de Zambonaga y el caló chino de Binondo. De ese contacto se consolida un tanto el chabacano de Davao.
Pero llegó otra influencia más durante el tiempo americano. Y esa es la influencia japonesa.
De hecho, aunque se apoderasen, más tarde, los emigrantes japoneses del comercio del abacá en Davao, organizando grandes haciendas para cultivar esta planta de la que se producen las famosas jarcias de Manila, el caló chino de Binondo, traido durante las postremerías del tiempo español, fue inicialmente adoptado, por los japoneses, como su lengua.
Con el tiempo, el caló de Binondo traido a Davao, vino a desarrollarse junto al chavacano de Zamboanga, que pareció acercarse más al español corriente de Flipinas por el influjo de nuevos emigrantes chinos, que ya hablaban un español corriente, y que también se asenteron en Davao.
El statu oficial del idioma español estaba vigente y aunque, en 1935, el gobierno colonial usense estaba en su feroz apogeo de imponer obligatoriamente, y en todas las facetas de la vida filipina, el inglés como la única lengua oficial del país, los nuevos emigrantes chinos de aquella época, aun conocidos como " los advenedizos" en los distintos Parianes, prefirieron adoptar el idioma español por encima del inglés.
La preferencia por el español, además de ser una opción práctica; porque, quiéranlo o no los usenses neocolonialistas, predominaba en todas las islas, también podría interpretarse como una reacción en contra de los opresores usenses que, a raíz de lo que parecía ser su nata soberbia y obvio discrímen racial, les gritaba en inglés y les obligaba, casi a residir en Davao como "una solución, a lo que consideraban en aquel tiempo, como el problema de la sobre-emigración china a Filipinas".
Al paso que los advenedizos chinos aprendían el español, el antiguo caló se transformaba, con ayuda del criollo zamboangueño y del mismo idioma español. Esta transformación en su escenario davaoense, lo aproximaba cada vez más al español corriente.
3. INFLUENCIA JAPONESA

Con la subsiguinte emigración japonesa a Davao, muchas palabras japonesas también entraron en este mismo vernáculo hasta el punto de casi engendrar otra variante más que se recuerda hasta nuestros días; porque ciertas declaraciones hechas ante los tribunales de Davao, poco antes de la segunda guerra mundial, se hicieron en este medio.
En una tésis presentada por la maestra davaoeña de español, Clarita Cortés Vasques, ante el Instituto de Cooperación Iberoamericana de Madrid, durante el Curso XIX, se recogen las siguientes muestras del chavacano de Davao tal como lo hablaban los chinos y los japoneses. (Vease el apendice de la tésis: "La influencia del español en Filipinas: Como hablaban los japoneses y los chinos en Davao", Manila, 1985.)

El variante chino es como sigue:
-Señor, yo vino aqui para pedir vos ayuda. Yo quiere prestá contigo diez pesos. Ese ba hija tiene mucho calentura. Necesita llevá doctor.
-Conching. ¿Dónde ikaw (tu) papa? ¿No hay pa llega?
-Llega noche ya. ¿Cosa quiere ako habala cuando llega papa?
-Ako (yo) habala ese esposa mio, paciencia plimelo (primero). Cuando male negocio, come nugaw (lugaw-puré de arroz). Pero, cuando bueno negocio, patay manok (matar y servir un pollo).
-¡Corre pronto! ¡Cae aguacero ! Yo habla contigo cuando sale casa lleva payong (paraguas). No quiere ahora mucho mojao.
-¿Ese ba Tinong (Florentino) no hay vergüenza? Anda visita casa ese novia, come ya allí. Ese papa novia, regaña mucho. Ese Tinong, no hay colocación. ¿Cosa dale comé esposa después?

El variante japones es como sigue:
-¿Por que usted no anda paseo? Karâ (nada) tiene coche. Viaje usted. ¿Cosa hace dinero? Trabaja mucho. No gozá.
-Usted mirá porque yo no regañá ese hijo mío grande. Día-día sale casa. Ese ba igual andá oficina. Pero día-día pide dinero.
-Señora. Yo dale este pescado usted. No grande, pero mucho bueno. Ese kirey (bello) y muy bonito. (Op.cit.)

Si no fuesen, ----nos dicen entendidos davaoeños----, por los penosos estragos causados en el pueblo a raíz de la segunda guerra mundial, por la cual Filipinas fue invadida y ocupada militarmente por los japoneses y luego devastada por el bombardeo “liberador” de los norteamericanos, la dislocación, cuando no la destrucción, adrede de todo no hubiese causado el comienzo de la desaparición del criollo de Davao.
El citado chabacano de Davao podría haberse re-encontrado, más aun, con el de Cotabato y el de Zamboanga para así formar una verdadera lingua franca mindanaoense que, sin duda, hubiese perdurado hasta nuestros días como una base viva por la que se podría mejor adquirir un dominio pleno del español como la lengua oficial que ya era de toda Filipinas. ggr_flamenco@hotmail.com

Propositions about Zamboangueño Party-List
Por Guillermo Gómez Rivera
Academia Filipina de la Lengua
Correspondiente de la R. A. E.
Manila


Queridos amigos:
Por el Sr.Andreas Herbig, he leido (I have read) sobre (about) las investigaciones del Dr. Sonie Sicat y los Sres.Alfredo y Armando; el "Centro de estnario chavacano" (What is estnario?), "Zamboanga City's own heritage Foundation",y otras instituciones y personas interesadas en la defensa de los idiomas Chavacano y Español.
Y mi comentario es:
(1)There must be a political dimension to this matter. (Debe haber una dimensión política sobre este asunto).
Por dimensión politica me refiero a la formación de un PARTY-LIST integrado por no menos de sesenta mil votantes registrados que muy bien se podría organizar en la misma Ciudad de Zamboanga.
Este PARTY-LIST podría luego enviar (can send) un representante a la Legislatura Filipina y desde allí luchar (struggle)por la cabal (proper) adjudicación de créditos en unidades(credits in units) a la enseñanza (to the teaching) del idioma español en la secundaria (high school) y en el colegiado (college) tal como lo tiene provisto (as it is provided for)la misma constitución filipina de 1987 en su sección 7, Artículo XIV (Spanish and Arabic shall be promoted on an optional and voluntary basis;---,the phrase "shall be promoted" is interpreted by the Supreme Court as "SHALL BE TAUGHT" (DEBE ENSEÑARSE) per its Resolution dated 28 January, 1988,on G.R. No. 78436).
Pero, es claro (But it is clear that)que esta provisión no se quiere poner en ejecución (is deliberately mis-implemented) como es debido porque la CHED (Commission on Higher Education), en su CMO (in its Circular-Memo-Order) #59, S.0f 1996, no ha adjudicado (has not adjudicated 12 units at least) créditos en unidades (que serian 12 por lo menos) para la enseñanza del español y el árabe a opción, o elección, de los alumnos tal como debe ser.
El CHED está, muy al parecer, saboteando muy adrede (deliberately undermining) lo que manda la misma Constitución al no querer adjudicar un número adecuado de unidades para acreditar el español, o el árabe, en el programa de estudios secundarios y universitarios CUANDO EXPIDIó SU cmo #59,s.OF 1996.
Esta omisión adrede es una (this deliberate mis-implementation by ommision is a deliberate) ofensa, un insulto, a todos los países de habla española y de habla árabe del mundo (to all the Hispanic and Arabic countries).
(2)All Zamboangueños and all Spanish-speaking Filipinos should rally all the Tagalog speaking Filipinos, along with those who are Visayan (Cebuano, Ilongo, Sinamar-Leyteño, Cuyunin ang Aclan), to object to the ramming into Tagalog of the entire English Alphabet along with its syllabication and spelling because it is turning Tagalog, (the Basis of Filipino), along with all our major native languages into vile pidgins of English. We will all sound very soon as Papua New Guinea, as the New Hebridans, as the Solomones whose native languages have been destroyed by the imposition in them of the anti-phonetic English alphabet. Teach the English alphabet in classes of the English language. Do not teach it in Filipino language classes. This is a crime against our own people!
All our native languages, including Chavacano,are not pidgin languages because they already have their own grammar system and their own literature and correct forms of usage. To subject all of them, through the national language called Filipino, to the unphonetic English Alphabet is not only to "pidginize them" but actually debase and destroy them in the most deliberately reacherous manner. All our native languages follow the rule: Kung ano ang bigkas, siya ang súlat, at, kung anó ang súlat, siya rin ang bigkas. (Lo que se articula se escribe y lo que se escribe se articula o pronuncia/ What is said is written as it is said and what is written is said as it is written). Este reglamento no existe dentro del idioma Inglés, y es por eso que la imposición por Ponciano B. P. Pineda, del alfabeto Ingles en el Tagalo/Filipino, mediante su "DIKSYUNARYONG FILIPINO-ENGLISH"(Komisyon ng Wikang Filipino,1992,páginas v, vi, y vii)viene a ser un genocidio cultural y lingüístico, un crímen de lesa lengua y cultura filipinas, si no se levanta un movimiento para exponerlo como el mal que es dentro de la ecología lingüística de Filipinas.
(3)Lo que debemos restaurar, tanto en el chavacano como en el tagalog, en el bisaya, en el ilocano y en todas nuestras principales lenguas nativas, es el alfabeto Filipino de 32 letras, tal como nos lo utilizaron nuestros literatos y grandes genios del pasado como Francisco Balagtás, el padre de la lengua tagala, y como de los Ilocanos y los primeros redactores del "Magagtás" de Panay.
(4)Todos los que son maestros y profesors del idioma Filipino deben rechazar de inmediato la imposición del alfabeto Inglés en sus clases de Tagalo/Filipino. Deben en cambio usar el originario alfabeto de Balagtas cuyas letras se leen con la E batangueña que lo hacen muy parecidas a las letras del alfabeto español salvo en el caso de ciertas letras como Nang (Ng) y Ñg (ñga).
Aquí está el originario alfabeto Filipino con la pronunciación de cada una de sus letras:
A (ah), B (be), C (se), Ch (se-atse), D (de), E (eh), F (ephe), G (he), H (atse), I (ih), J (hota), K (ka), L (ele), LL (elye), M (eme), N (ene), NG (nang), Ñ (enye), ÑG (ñga), O (oh), P (pe), Q (ku), R (ere),RR (er-re), S (ese), T (te), U (uh), V (ve), W (wa), X (ekis), Ya (o, i griega o ye), Z (seta).
Con estas dos medidas (with these 2 measures), se habrían salvaguardado (safeguarded) el chavacano juntamente con el (together with)tagalog, el bisaya, el ilocano, el mismo idioma español en Filipinas y el resto de las lenguas nativas de este archipiélago.
Saludos.

Guillermo Gómez Rivera. ggr_flamenco@hotmail.com

EL IDIOMA CRIOLLO DE FILIPINAS
Por Guillermo Gómez Rivera
Academia Filipina de la Lengua
Correspondiente de la R. A. E.
Manila

EL ORIGEN DEL CRIOLLO ZAMBOANGUEÑO

Los comienzos del chabacano, hoy denominado también como "el criollo zamboangueño", se araigan en la misma fundación del pueblo y fuerte de Zamboanga en marzo de 1635.
Don Balbino Saavedra, el reconocido historiador de Zamboanga y Basilan, nos cuenta que fue en una fecha anterior, pero dentro del mismo mes de marzo de 1635, cuando el Capitan Juan Chávez zarpaba, con tres cientos españoles y mil soldados visayos, provenientes del Fuerte de San Pedro de la Villa de Cebú, a lo que era "Samboañgan", una ranchería de la tribu medio-musulmana de lutaos y subanos del sud-occidente de Mindanao.
( La palabra "Lutao" en bisaya significa "flotante" o "gente" que flota con el mar". La lengua más extendida entre los moros filipinos, el Tausug, da la misma definición al nombre "Lutao".)
Unos días después de la llegada del mencionado Capitán Chávez, el misionero español, Fray Pedro Gutiérrez, posiblemente un agustino calzado, también llegaba a Samboañgan con un enorme grupo de islenos cristianos que, procedentes de varios puntos de Luzón y Visayas, se habían previamente reunido en el pueblo de Dapitan, situado en el norte de lo que hoy es la península de ambas Zamboangas, ( la del Norte y la del Sur ), para verse conducidos a la misma ranchería sureña por un noble indio lutao que se llamó Pedro Piantón.
Los que integraban el enorme grupo del Padre Gutiérrez hablaban varias lenguas isleñas y a duras penas se entendían mutuamente.
Aunque los pertinentes documentos históricos sobre Zamboanga no lo digan tácitamente, se puede entrever la decisiva intención, por parte de los conquistadores españoles, de fundar Zamboanga e instalar en ella un fuerte con el objectivo de socavar la supremaciá naval de los moros en el sur del archipiélago filipino. Con la primera piedra de ese mismo fuerte empezó, en 1635, el idioma criollo de Zamboanga.
Hay otra fuente que nos cuenta, sin embargo, que era desde el año 1585, o sea 14 años después de la fundación de Manila y del Estado Filipino por Leguspi, cuando otro misionero agustino en el P. Diego del Rosario llegó a predicar en la Caldera de Ba-y, o en el Recodo, entre los subanos, por el que tuvo que utilizar un castellano mezclado con palabras del vernáculo local para decir sus semones. (Origins of Chavacano,The Tribune, 12 enero 2001).
Pero, como la construcción, después de todo, del Fuerte de Nuestra Señora del Pilar en Zamboanga tenía por objetivo separar, mediante un semibloqueo naval, a los moros de Joló de los de Cotabato y de los que poblaban aisladamente el centro de Mindanao, el hecho de que el idioma chabacano empezase con la construcción del mismo en 1635, es el que queda establecido en los anales de la historia. Cotabato también era un foco musulman, y muy particularmente para los moros de las provincias que hoy se conocen con los nombres de Lanao del Norte y del Sur. (El nombre español de estas dos provincias muy posiblemente derivan de la frase castellama "La nao").
El mencionado bloqueo naval consiguió, muy al parecer, la desunión entre los moros del ya distante archipiélago joloano, que se encuentra más próximo a los estados musulmanes de Malasia y Brunay, frente a los que se encuentran en Cotabato y Lanao en el centro casi de la isla de Mindanao.
(* La Nao de Manila: asi se llamaba cada una de las naves españolas, colectivamente conocidas como "los galeones de Acapulco", que negociaba la enorme distancia entre Mexico y Manila durante un periodo de más de dos siglos. Constituían el único eslabón político, mercantil y cultural, entre las Islas Filipinas y el antiguo Virreynato de la Nueva España, hoy Mexico).
Las aludidas provincias de Lanao tomaron su nombre de un buque de guerra que los españoles, según una casi olvidada tradición, desmantelaron en Oroquieta, Misamis Oriental, y que llevaron, pedazo por pedazo, a la laguna de La Nao, que se encuentra miles de pies sobre el mar, donde nos lo reconstituyeron para que subyugue a cañonazos a las tribus moras que vivian en derredor del mismo.
Es por eso que dicho lago y las dos provincias en su derredor comparten el mismo nombre de "Lanao". (Tomado de un Relato de Don Balbino Saavedra, ilustre zamboangueño que pasó a vivir en Basilan.)
(......................................)

EL ZAMBOANGUEÑO SE CONSOLIDA

La infraestructura de la ciudad zamboangueña y la construcción del Fuerte del Pilar tenían que realizarse de prisa. Y, con el mismo paso presuroso se tenía que superar la barrera idiomática entre tantos súbditos cristianos traidos de Cebú a Zamboanga frente a los mismos lutaos y, o, subanos, de la zona.
Los tres cientos españoles bajo el mando del Capitan Chávez y el Fraile Gutiérrez no podían aprenderse, a la vez, el tagalo, el bisaya, el ilocano, el pampango y tantas otras lenguas nativas que el grupo multi-étnico hablaba para confusión de todos.
La solución fue hablar en un castellano infantil a todos los indígenas que, a su vez, no tardaron mucho en asimilarlo para entenderse en los promenores de la construcción del Fuerte del Pilar y de la que luego sería la Villa de Zamboanga.
En poco tiempo, los indígenas cristianos ya se acostumbraron a comunicarse en aquel castellano rudimentario que, inconcientemente, iban ajustando a la estructura de sus respectivos idiomas nativos. De la necesidad de comunicarse, para recibir órdenes y pedir favores, nació lo que en una generación vendría a ser el chabacano de Zamboanga.
Desde aquel tiempo, el criollo de Zamboanga vino desarrollándose dentro del aislamiento en que vivía aquella población y por un periodo de dos cientos años. Es todo el tiempo en que también duraron las denominadas "guerras moras".
Mas, la villa y fortaleza de Zamboanga supervivieron invencibles.
A pesar de la hostilidad con que se veía rodeada, aquella valiente población, con su lengua vernácula y su cultura hispana, maduró irreversiblemente.
El único contacto "de afuera" con que contaba la población zamboangueña fue el que daba el soldado español y el soldado filipino de habla-castellana.
Estos llegaban de Manila, de Cebú o de Iloilo para enfrentarse con los moros que incumplian su adhesión jurada a la autoridad central en Manila tal como fue establecida por el Sínodo de 1599 y tal como fue afirmada, más tarde, por el Sultan Alimudín de Joló.

BASE DE LA COMUNIDAD ZAMBOANGUEÑA

Con el tiempo, muchos soldados españoles se casaron con mujeres lutaos y subanos, y estas familias hispano-indígenas formaron la base de lo que es la población zamboangueña que habla en criollo en la intimidad de sus hogares y en castellano al confesarse y al alternar socialmente con una creciente élite zamboangueña que, a su vez, siempre había preferido el "castellano bien puro" como su timbre de distinción.
Y es que, los que presumían de distinguidos admonizaban, a cada paso, a los que les hablaban en chabacano con un:
"¡Perdone usté, pero yo no ta siempre conversá ansina na guiod en el lenguaje de tienda. ¡Conversá vos tamén en castellano!"
Durante los incontables enfrentamientos militares en que los soldados españoles y filipinos tenían que luchar en contra de las levantiscas huestes moras, la entera población zamboangueña se movilizaba para cuidar de heridos y enfermos.
Y éstos soldados, como eran de Manila y otras provincias cristianas del archipiélago, no dominaban muy bien el chabacano de Zamboanga. De hecho, el idioma utilizado tenía que ser el propio castellano aunque tuviese sus imperfecciones.
Pero, es también un hecho que este criollo del español, sea el de Zamboanga o el de Manila y Cavite, llegó a extenderse, a la larga, como la "lingua franca" de todos los habitantes del archipiélago filipino. El criollo o chabacano, irrespectivo de origen, lo utilizaban los filipinos para entenderse con los españoles y con sus compatriotas de otra lengua nativa.
Y, al par que se extendía el castellano como la lengua oficial del comercio y de la educación, el chabacano, en general, seguía como una alternativa eficaz para los que no podían completar su dominio del español ya que sus estudios primarios en las escuelas parroquiales es lo único que completarían.

MAS SOBRE EL CRIOLLO
(añadido el 19/01/01).

Todos estamos de acuerdo que el inglés es internacional, pero su estructura fonética es todo lo opuesto a la misma estructura de nuestras lenguas indígenas, y forzar su alfabeto, por medio del mismo sistema educativo pagado por contribuyentes filipinos, es un genocidio que se hace a costa del mismo que paga por su supuesta educación. Y esto lo tenemos que atajar porque es un crimen de lesa cultura y lengua filipinas.
(PD: Por cierto que esta nota deriva del interesante cambio entre Liz Medina, desde Chile, y Andreas Herbig, desde Alemania: A un punto, Andreas pregunta sobre las raíces de las lenguas filipinas).
Las raíces son principalmente dos: la indígena malayo-polinesa y la española. Según el Cuadro de Raíces del Tagalo, tal como fue preparado por el Instituto de Lengua Nacional (Surian ng Wikang Pambansâ).
Los elementos son:
Número total de raíces: 8,500
De orígen malayo, indonesio (polinesio):3,000
De orígen español: 5,000
De origen asiático(chino;japonés;sáscrito-hindu):500
Se tiene que hablar de raíces porque la gramática tagala, como la ilocana, bisaya, bicolana, etcétera, se realiza a base de prefijos, infijos y sufijos.
Por ejemplo, la palabra "ocupar" en tagalo cobra las siguientes formas verbales al ser 'conjugada' según sus afijos.
ino-ukupá---nos lo están ocupando
ukupa-hin--nos lo va a ocupar
ni-okupá----nos lo ocupó
mag-okupá---vaya a ocupar(lo)
nag-okupá---se fue a ocupar(lo)
ina-okupá--nos lo hizo ocupar
pinapa-okupá---nos lo deja ocupar.
En las formas que preceden, el verbo 'ocupar' se convierte en raíz tagala antes 'okupá' y a base de esta raíz se le aplica los afijos para conjugarla.
El verbo 'ocupar' también se puede reducir a su otra raíz más breve que es "upa" que en este sentido viene a significar "alquilar".
upa-------------alquilar
umupa;magupa----vaya a alquilar
nañguñgupa------el que está alquilando
ino-upahan------está alquilando
nag-upa---------(lo) alquiló
mag-u-upa-------va a alquilar
El bisaya, como el ilocano, tiene sus respectivos afijos que es lo que lo hace distinto del tagalo y del ilocano, amén de las distintas raíces indígenas que pudiera tener.
Las raíces que unen a todas las lengas isleñas son precisamente las que provinieron del castellano.
De ahí la fundamental importancia y necesidad del castellano como elemento unificador de nuestras lenguas indígenas.
Los usenses nos quieren destruir esta unidad lingüística forzando el alfabeto y deletreo inglés en estas lenguas.
Si el idioma inglés fuese fonético como lo son nuestras lenguas, su introducción a la fuerza no sería dañina a la entera fonología indígena. Pero el inglés es antifonético porque no se pronuncia como se escribe. Es por eso que la misma Comission on Filipino al imponer adrede el alfabeto inglés en el tagalo comete un verdadero genocidio porque nos lo destruye todo. En cambio el español, por fonético, no estorba la estructura originaria de nuestras lenguas indígenas. Por el contrario, las enriquece. Esto no lo quieren comprender los paisanos que tenemos que escandalosamente se entregan al servilismo vergonzante a todo lo usense, particularmente a lo que es dañino e irracional. ggr_flamenco@hotmail.com

Instead of sharing your personal emotions which is out of context, why don't you discuss real issues instead. There are other forumers reading your statements as well, you can be mature in your comments, or you refuse to engage in intelligent discussions. Be smart and polite, not rant.

First thing that we need to do: don't mind them / pretend that they don't exist. Don't respond to all their posts (include, but not limited to, questions, comments, both positive and negative sentences) that they're gonna post in this thread and in all ZC-related threads. Let's not mind them and they'll eventually seize to exist in our world. :)

Plaza Pilar, center of "Pascua" activities
by Sheila Covarrubias/City Hall PIO

The city's newest architectural gem, Plaza del Pilar located right across the Fort Pilar Shrine, will be the center of activities for the 2010 Pascua na Zamboanga which will kick off Friday, December 3.

Considered one of the most celebrated festivals and celebrations in the city, the Pascua na Zamboanga makes the celebration of the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ even more meaningful.

Plaza del Pilar, Zamboanga's first-ever all-in-one pasalubong center, will be the center of activities on December 9 when different elementary schools will compete each other for the title in the Canciones de Pascua, an inter-elementary school Christmas chorale competition, slated at 5pm.

The city government, organizer of the yearly Pascua na Zamboanga festival has also chosen Plaza del Pilar to be the venue for the awarding ceremony for the lantern competition as well as the inter-barangay Christmas landmark contest on Dec. 15 at 6pm.

The inter-barangay Christmas landmark competition from Dec. 6-14; the inter-barangay Christmas landmark contest as well as the best dressed in Santa Claus competition set on Dec. 12 at 10am at the Convention Center of the Garden Orchid Hotel are among the highlights of the Pascua festival. Big prizes await the winners in the different competitions.

Other private groups have also set Plaza del Pilar as venue for their merry-making activities this December adding more spice to the newest landmark.

The festival will kick off December 3, Friday with the traditional lantern parade that will be highlighted by the ceremonial switch-on of the City Hall and Plaza Pershing Christmas landmarks. Ceremonial switch on for the giant Christmas tree at the Paseo del Mar and the Plaza del Pilar will also be held the same day.

Mayor Celso Lobregat will lead the over 2,000 city officials and employees in the lantern parade that will reel off 5:30 pm from Ledesma Street to Plaza Pershing, where the opening program will be held.

Meanwhile, the Christmas lantern tilt is open to all except city government officials and employees. The entries must use the colors of Christmas; visible or lighted at night; made of an all weather material and should not be more than one meter nor less than one half meter in diameter. Only 20 lanterns will be officially accepted to the competition. Deadline for the submission of entries is Dec. 8 at the City Tourism Division at the Sunken Garden. Evaluation for the open lantern competition will be Dec. 13 at 10am.

Criteria for judging will include indigenous material (5%); originality (20%); artistry (20%); symbolism (25%) and craftsmanship (30%) for a total of 100%.

Winners will receive cash prizes and trophies: first prize (P10,000); second prize (P7,000); third prize (P5,000); fourth prize (P3,000) and fifth prize (P2,000) while non-winning qualified entries will receive a consolation prize of P1,000 each. Top 3 winning entries will automatically be the property of the city government.

Meanwhile, Plaza del Pilar derived its name from the historical Fort Pilar, being the immediate significant landmark where the more than 7,000 square meters plaza is located. It is an all-in-one pasalubong center where locals and visitors alike can buy souvenir items, eat out or simply pass time.

Blocks A and B are devoted to souvenir items that include handicrafts, Yakan woven clothes, leather products, pearls and precious stones, barter goods, cakes and pastries, dried fish, biscocho or toasted bread and sardines. Meanwhile, Block C offers a good mixture of shirts, bags and fashion accessories as well as native products from Baguio and Bicol.

Plaza del Pilar also makes an interesting haven for food enthusiasts of all ages in acknowledgement of the Zamboangue?os' love for food. Those with a penchant for Middle-Eastern food may feast on shawarmas, a sandwich-like wrap of shaved beef, while others can choose from a carte du jour consisting of warm arroz caldo and beef soup, hotdogs on stick, tempura, as well as barbequed chicken, fish belly and panga (jaw), among others.

Block C also features food stalls where one can enjoy refreshments such as doughnuts, otap, fruit shakes and the likes.

Furthermore, "take-out" or "to-go" stalls allow customers to buy coffee, biscuits, ice scramble, fries and flavored juices to be consumed while they wander around the plaza and adjacent areas.

Located just across the street from the Fort Pilar Shrine, several stalls sell candles and other devotional items to the hundreds of devotees who regularly flock the shrine to pay their respects to the city's patroness.

ZAMCELCO not true cooperative - Payuyo

In our exclusive interview with Ponciano Payuyo, Association of Philippine Electric Cooperative (APEC) party-list representative, he spoke about how to reduce power rates by having power cooperatives truly owned by consumers and the benefits of having them members of Cooperative Development Authority (CDA).



There is a law that governs cooperatives, the Republic Act No. 6938 later amended as Republic Act No. 9520, also known as the "the new Philippine cooperative code" signed by President Gloria Arroyo in February 2008, that encourages all the electric cooperatives in the country to voluntarily register with the CDA.

"Cooperatives that are member of CDA enjoy all the privileges of any other cooperative registered including exemption from all form of taxes, both national and local,” Payumo said.

ZAMCELCO is not true cooperative because what it gives is only P5 membership fee that does not earn dividend and can not be re-sold. We are not co-owners of ZAMCELCO, he said.

A true cooperative is a cooperative that sells share of stocks to generate capital and gives dividend to its members.

He said, non-CDA member cooperatives like ZAMCELCO gets its funding from outside sources including loans from the government thus it's not exempted from taxes and interest. These are passed on to consumers, the reason why power rates are too high.

If the power firm is consumer-based, the funding comes from within, through its members, and the generated income is returned to them and rates will become significantly low, he said.

He also mentioned that corruptions in any entity whether private or government is due to lack of watchers guarding the business. In a cooperative owned by consumers, it is the people who will guard their investment. Thus, less corruption.

Dychauc: Bienvenidos, Zamboanga City!Comment | More |

By Chef Ed DychaucoPots and Pans

Friday, November 26, 2010

For so long a time, I wanted to visit Zamboanga City. Even when I was a kid then, Zamboanga City was like so far south that it seems so impossible to reach. I can still remember the song that goes like this, "Don't you go, don't you go too far, Zamboanga!" as to the reason why, I can't remember. I can't even remember the next lines of the song. That's how long it has been!


At any rate, I finally got the chance to visit and spent a few days there last weekend. Thanks to Ms. Mac Dang. Marketing and Business Development Manager of Altus Communications Inc. (Nokia), and Mr. Henry Ang of Shoppers Plaza, who initiated this one-of-a-kind activity.



I got a call from Ms. Mac a few weeks ago (who got my contact details from my friends, Chari and Ria of PEP Group Events in Manila). After a short negotiation, I was already in for such a wonderful and exciting trip and activity in Zamboanga City, Asia's Latin City!


I was asked repeatedly if I wanted to travel by plane or by land. Being adventurous myself, I took the long land trip. It was quite exhausting but truly breath-taking and scenic. More long and winding roads than the trip to Davao City! Passing through Iligan City, and Pagadian City, it was Ipil and Sibugay and finally to Zambo City! As I saw the welcome sign (to the city), it took me about another hour to finally reach the city proper. I was quite apprehensive because I got into the city past 7 p.m. And since it was my first time, there was an ambivalent feeling of fear and excitement.


I finally got to my destination, Grand Astoria Hotel with the help of a friend, Mr. Henry Luy of Zamboanga Carrageenan Manufacturing Corporation whom I met here in CDOC several months ago. And from there it was Mr. Marlon Alaba, Mindanao Regional Sales Manager of Altus Communications who was my guide until my culinary demonstration the following day at Sky Park Hotel.


It was a very intimate demonstration where I did a few dishes (rice, chicken & pasta) and a few baked goodies (cupcake, cake and brownie) to the delight of the participants. All finished products were tasted and recipes were handed out, too. And just like any other activity, there were picture-taking after the event for posterity's sake.


I purposely stayed for another day, since it was a Sunday anyway, so I can spend some time for some rest and recreation around the beautiful city. I got to visit the famous Pasonanca Park which I have only read in the books during my school days. Went up the famous tree house and checked out their Aviary where different species of exotic and colorful birds and fowls were seen. It was raining that day but it didn't hamper me from visiting the place.


I also got to visit the well-liked & historic Fort del Pilar (named after Nuestra Senora Virgen del Pilar) where an open chapel/church is constructed and mass held regularly, Plaza del Pilar (a revived area and newly constructed open edifice where shops selling various items can be seen against the back drop of century-old giant Acacia trees which give a very picturesque view of the place) and Paseo del Mar which is just right in front. A very well-developed, modern and clean area by the sea with restaurants and shops, illuminating the area well with those same lights we have in our own Divisoria area. There were so much people when we went there on Saturday night and then again on Sunday, being a family day.


Contrary to reports and news that we hear, Zamboanga City is a peaceful and lovely place. Police visibility is seen around the city. And that really makes a lot of difference. I find the people to be very friendly, too. They would smile at you and you just have to do the same! A city of Smiles!


Several well-known restaurants and eateries can be seen within and even outside the city proper area. Some of the restaurants I got to indulge includes: Abalone restaurant of Grand Astoria Hotel where they serve really great-tasting Chinese Seafoods. Alavar Restaurant is another upscale restaurant that serves Spanish-influenced Seafood dishes. Hai San Seafood Market and Restaurant also serve delicious Chinese-influenced foods. Jimmy's Satti is a very simple restaurant that serves chicken, puso (hanging rice) in a very good and spicy sati sauce that literally is more of a soup than a sauce. Will do another article on food find Zamboanga's food trip next week.


Visited also Myrna's Bake House along Pasonanca Street, the very best in the city in cakes and pastries. A soft-spoken lady who has been in the baking business for 25 years! She is also ably assisted by her unica hija, Ivy, a graduate of CCA, Manila.


My guide for those exhilarating & stimulating tour was none other than the tall, dark and good-looking Mr. Jude Garcines, also of Zam Carr, together with his girlfriend Lara. Of course, what is Zamboanga without visiting the Barter Trade? A shopaholic area for beautiful and colorful Batik, candies, food items, and many more. But since we went there on a Sunday, many of the shops were closed unfortunately. But I still had a lot of fun buying some batik shawls, shirts and pants, imported coffees and chocolates. I swear I could have bought more if I just have more to spend!


Many thanks to Mr. Henry Ang (who also gave me a more-than-a-kilo crab!) and Mr. Henry Luy for those wonderful & mouth-watering seafood lunch and dinner! Truly memorable and calorie-enriching diets. Looking forward to more Sea Food Diets!


Now, I should say, Hasta la Vista, Zamboanga! Till we meet again!

DOTC completes feasibility study on P9-B Zambo city airport transfer (http://zamboangatoday.ph/index.php/news/13-top-stories/1844-dotc-completes-feasibility-study-on-p9-b-zambo-city-airport-transfer)
Friday, 26 November 2010 11:48

The final feasibility study of the transfer of the Zamboanga City airport to Barangay Talabaan has been received by local Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP), formerly Air Transportation Office (ATO), and will soon be for implementation.

In the final feasibility study, CAAP Manager Celso Bayabos said that the airport transfer project will cost the government P9 Billion.

Bayabos explained that the site in barangay Talabaan was chosen because it is already plain,and it has a few residents.

The feasibility study for the transfer of the airport according to Bayabos was done by personnel from the Department of Transportation and Communication in Manila.

According to Bayabos, the old airport in Governor Camins will be sold at the amount of P8 Billion to facilitate the transfer.

The upcoming brand new airport in Talabaan covers 170 hectares and 2,500 meter runway, the aviation official said.

By the year 2016 the new airport will be fully operational, according to the feasibility study as revealed by Bayabos.

In the process of this airport transfer 174 lots located in the area of Talabaan, Taluksangay, Mercedes and Mulu Muluan will be affected.

But Bayabos said DOTC is preparing the money to pay these lot owners.

The present Zamboanga International Airport is located in the heart of the city, stressing most of the airports in the country are not located near the center of the city proper.

Lobregat approves construction of P70M bridge in Limaong
Tuesday, 30 November 2010 11:23

Mayor Celso Lobregat has approved the amount of P70 million for the construction of the 110-meter bridge in barangay Limaong, this city.

City Engineer Luis Despalo disclosed the complete rehabilitation of the old wooden bridge in that barangay will be scheduled next year.

Despalo said the bridge is supposed to be a national government project but Lobregat has saw the need to already repair it using the city government's fund because the bridge is fast deteriorating and pose danger to commuters.

According to Despalo, the bridge connects the barangays of Tictapul and Limaong. Thousands of residents in these two barrios who are mostly farmers, use this bridge to traverse from one place to the other.

Despalo said personnel from the Department of Public Works and Highways are now conducting soil exploration and analysis to determine what type of materials should be used in the construction of the modern bridge.

The city engineer said the mayor has approved the appropriation of funds for the said bridge because many residents in these communities are already complaining about the sorry state of the said bridge.

Edding calls on Mayor to implement one-stop business permit office (http://zamboangatoday.ph/index.php/news/13-top-stories/1908-edding-calls-on-mayor-to-implement-one-stop-business-permit-office)
Tuesday, 30 November 2010 11:26

Councilor Al Jihan Edding yesterday Called on Mayor Celso Lobregat to implement Ordinance number 244 establishing the one-stop-shop business permit office in the city government of Zamboanga which has not been implemented since it was approved in 2002.

Edding disclosed the ordinance which was authored by his deceased father councilor Asbi Edding also prescribed the rules and regulations for its operation and the granting of incentives, awards and recognition to outstanding businessmen and taxpayers and providing a P1 million annual appropriation thereof.

The councilor said she passed a resolution last week asking for the implementatoion of the said ordinance because she believes that the already approved ordinance is a very important piece of legislation.

She said the edict aims for efficiency in public service and also to expedite the process involving the issuance of business permit.

“I believe that this is the government's thrust, to create a haven for business and investment, as what the mayor had mentioned during the Executive and Legislative (ELA) meeting that the government does not compete but rather support the business sector. Hence it is my intention to pass this resolution asking the good city mayor to implement this ordinance,” Edding said.

Under the ordinance, it explains that many applicants complain that they are not properly attended to when they transact business with the city government,

This is also the reason why Congress enacted into law R.A. No. 6713 on February 20, 1989 otherwise known as the Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for public officials and employees where under this law, letters and telegrams or other means of communication are required to be responded by public officials and employees within the period of 15 days otherwise the concerned officials and employees maybe criminally and administratively penalized.

According to Edding, the ordinance had been approved by the majority of the councilors during that time namely Councilors Cesar Jimenez, Milabel Velasquez, Maria Isabelle Climaco, Manuel Jose Dalipe Jr., Jaime Cabato, Roel Natividad, Charlie Mariano, Cesar Iturralde, Elias Enriquez, Eddie Rodriguez, Juan Climaco Elago, Abdurahman Nuño and John Dalipe.

The law had also been signed and approved by then Vice Mayor Erbie Fabian and Mayor Ma. Clara Lobregat.

I hope the bridge would look like the same (or better) as the bridge that was spearheaded by Congresswoman Beng Climaco at some far flung barangay. (Forgot the name though, but I am sure that it was a Truss Bridge and it was long)

^^

Really?? I believe, we need longer length of airport runway.. 2 runways, one for airforce/cargo purpose and one for commercial/passenger use.

Per se'. But we have been convinced by Zamboanga.com editorials (or maybe only me, are you?). If the ZIA transfer is for an anticipated growth, it has to be at least 3,500m double runway because ZIA is not just ZIA alone. It is ZIA + EAAB honed to welcome USAF through its capability and facilities. But as we see it now, it is not for any anticipated growth, it is for nothing.... I'm so sorry for being brutal...

I really still believe that if SACOL passed as possible gateway for the peninsula, it would be a little 'hawaii' of the Philippines. A perfect place for the peninsula's international gateway plus resort island hotels, with new military base (wesmincom) headquartered.

I tell you if the national government will just sit on this matter, the PH will be left way, waaaay, behiiiiiiind our neighbors in BIMP-EAGA and ASEAN. They must adhere to this saying: "It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit". Now on ZIA issue, according to arianne, somebody in the DOTC wants some sum enough to spend before he sets his hand in favor of this matter. May kilala ba kayong mangkukulam?:bash::bash: Or we should be optimistic and see it as an opportunity rather than a threat that the ZIA transfers' implementation will take long enough to exhaust our patience. It is an opportunity to regroup and take consideration first of all its most ideal and long lasting (pang-one time) development site.

INFLUENCIA ASIÁTICA EN EL CHAVACANO DE FILIPINAS
Por Guillermo Gómez Rivera
Academia Filipina de la Lengua
Correspondiente de la R. A. E.
Manila

1. EL CALÓ CHINO DE BINONDO

Lo curioso es que hasta los chinos radicados en Filipinas, particularmente los chinos cristianos que prefirían residir en los confines de sus respectivos "Parianes", --nombre que significa "misión china" y que deriva de la palabra "pari" que, a su vez, proviene de la palabra castellana "padre", (es decir: "padre misionero",) -- también evolucionaron su propio chabacano que se denominó "el caló chino de Binondo" o "el lenguaje del Parian".
El caló chino de Binondo es otro chabacano, o criollo, que originó del comerciante chino cristiano desde el comienzo de la trata de los galeones de Manila. A partir de ese tiempo, era el idioma popular de la compra y venta al por mayor y al por menor.
"-¿Cuánto éste, Señolía ?
"-Doh peso no mah."
"-¡Aba! Polque ansina de caro tamén ese ?
"-Polque no hay encontrá voh lo mismo en otlo lugal."

El caló chino quedó como el "lenguaje del negocio", o de la "compraventa" en casi todo Filipinas entre los compradores y vendedores chinos. Las transacciones comerciales se llevaban a cabo en este caló desde las postremerias del siglo dieciseis hasta poco después de la segunda guerra mundial que, en Filipinas, terminó en 1945.
2. ORÍGEN DEL CHAVACANO DE DAVAO

El chavacano de Davao se originó de emigrados zamboangueños a esta localidad. Pero, cuando Davao se abrió para el mayor cultivo del abacá, los negociantes chinos de Binondo que se fueron a vivir en aquella ciudad de Mindanao Oriental llevaron su chabacano chino-español por aquellas latitudes. Hubo, luego, un encuentro y una fusión entre el chabacano de Zambonaga y el caló chino de Binondo. De ese contacto se consolida un tanto el chabacano de Davao.
Pero llegó otra influencia más durante el tiempo americano. Y esa es la influencia japonesa.
De hecho, aunque se apoderasen, más tarde, los emigrantes japoneses del comercio del abacá en Davao, organizando grandes haciendas para cultivar esta planta de la que se producen las famosas jarcias de Manila, el caló chino de Binondo, traido durante las postremerías del tiempo español, fue inicialmente adoptado, por los japoneses, como su lengua.
Con el tiempo, el caló de Binondo traido a Davao, vino a desarrollarse junto al chavacano de Zamboanga, que pareció acercarse más al español corriente de Flipinas por el influjo de nuevos emigrantes chinos, que ya hablaban un español corriente, y que también se asenteron en Davao.
El statu oficial del idioma español estaba vigente y aunque, en 1935, el gobierno colonial usense estaba en su feroz apogeo de imponer obligatoriamente, y en todas las facetas de la vida filipina, el inglés como la única lengua oficial del país, los nuevos emigrantes chinos de aquella época, aun conocidos como " los advenedizos" en los distintos Parianes, prefirieron adoptar el idioma español por encima del inglés.
La preferencia por el español, además de ser una opción práctica; porque, quiéranlo o no los usenses neocolonialistas, predominaba en todas las islas, también podría interpretarse como una reacción en contra de los opresores usenses que, a raíz de lo que parecía ser su nata soberbia y obvio discrímen racial, les gritaba en inglés y les obligaba, casi a residir en Davao como "una solución, a lo que consideraban en aquel tiempo, como el problema de la sobre-emigración china a Filipinas".
Al paso que los advenedizos chinos aprendían el español, el antiguo caló se transformaba, con ayuda del criollo zamboangueño y del mismo idioma español. Esta transformación en su escenario davaoense, lo aproximaba cada vez más al español corriente.
3. INFLUENCIA JAPONESA

Con la subsiguinte emigración japonesa a Davao, muchas palabras japonesas también entraron en este mismo vernáculo hasta el punto de casi engendrar otra variante más que se recuerda hasta nuestros días; porque ciertas declaraciones hechas ante los tribunales de Davao, poco antes de la segunda guerra mundial, se hicieron en este medio.
En una tésis presentada por la maestra davaoeña de español, Clarita Cortés Vasques, ante el Instituto de Cooperación Iberoamericana de Madrid, durante el Curso XIX, se recogen las siguientes muestras del chavacano de Davao tal como lo hablaban los chinos y los japoneses. (Vease el apendice de la tésis: "La influencia del español en Filipinas: Como hablaban los japoneses y los chinos en Davao", Manila, 1985.)

El variante chino es como sigue:
-Señor, yo vino aqui para pedir vos ayuda. Yo quiere prestá contigo diez pesos. Ese ba hija tiene mucho calentura. Necesita llevá doctor.
-Conching. ¿Dónde ikaw (tu) papa? ¿No hay pa llega?
-Llega noche ya. ¿Cosa quiere ako habala cuando llega papa?
-Ako (yo) habala ese esposa mio, paciencia plimelo (primero). Cuando male negocio, come nugaw (lugaw-puré de arroz). Pero, cuando bueno negocio, patay manok (matar y servir un pollo).
-¡Corre pronto! ¡Cae aguacero ! Yo habla contigo cuando sale casa lleva payong (paraguas). No quiere ahora mucho mojao.
-¿Ese ba Tinong (Florentino) no hay vergüenza? Anda visita casa ese novia, come ya allí. Ese papa novia, regaña mucho. Ese Tinong, no hay colocación. ¿Cosa dale comé esposa después?

El variante japones es como sigue:
-¿Por que usted no anda paseo? Karâ (nada) tiene coche. Viaje usted. ¿Cosa hace dinero? Trabaja mucho. No gozá.
-Usted mirá porque yo no regañá ese hijo mío grande. Día-día sale casa. Ese ba igual andá oficina. Pero día-día pide dinero.
-Señora. Yo dale este pescado usted. No grande, pero mucho bueno. Ese kirey (bello) y muy bonito. (Op.cit.)

Si no fuesen, ----nos dicen entendidos davaoeños----, por los penosos estragos causados en el pueblo a raíz de la segunda guerra mundial, por la cual Filipinas fue invadida y ocupada militarmente por los japoneses y luego devastada por el bombardeo “liberador” de los norteamericanos, la dislocación, cuando no la destrucción, adrede de todo no hubiese causado el comienzo de la desaparición del criollo de Davao.
El citado chabacano de Davao podría haberse re-encontrado, más aun, con el de Cotabato y el de Zamboanga para así formar una verdadera lingua franca mindanaoense que, sin duda, hubiese perdurado hasta nuestros días como una base viva por la que se podría mejor adquirir un dominio pleno del español como la lengua oficial que ya era de toda Filipinas. ggr_flamenco@hotmail.com

Propositions about Zamboangueño Party-List
Por Guillermo Gómez Rivera
Academia Filipina de la Lengua
Correspondiente de la R. A. E.
Manila


Queridos amigos:
Por el Sr.Andreas Herbig, he leido (I have read) sobre (about) las investigaciones del Dr. Sonie Sicat y los Sres.Alfredo y Armando; el "Centro de estnario chavacano" (What is estnario?), "Zamboanga City's own heritage Foundation",y otras instituciones y personas interesadas en la defensa de los idiomas Chavacano y Español.
Y mi comentario es:
(1)There must be a political dimension to this matter. (Debe haber una dimensión política sobre este asunto).
Por dimensión politica me refiero a la formación de un PARTY-LIST integrado por no menos de sesenta mil votantes registrados que muy bien se podría organizar en la misma Ciudad de Zamboanga.
Este PARTY-LIST podría luego enviar (can send) un representante a la Legislatura Filipina y desde allí luchar (struggle)por la cabal (proper) adjudicación de créditos en unidades(credits in units) a la enseñanza (to the teaching) del idioma español en la secundaria (high school) y en el colegiado (college) tal como lo tiene provisto (as it is provided for)la misma constitución filipina de 1987 en su sección 7, Artículo XIV (Spanish and Arabic shall be promoted on an optional and voluntary basis;---,the phrase "shall be promoted" is interpreted by the Supreme Court as "SHALL BE TAUGHT" (DEBE ENSEÑARSE) per its Resolution dated 28 January, 1988,on G.R. No. 78436).
Pero, es claro (But it is clear that)que esta provisión no se quiere poner en ejecución (is deliberately mis-implemented) como es debido porque la CHED (Commission on Higher Education), en su CMO (in its Circular-Memo-Order) #59, S.0f 1996, no ha adjudicado (has not adjudicated 12 units at least) créditos en unidades (que serian 12 por lo menos) para la enseñanza del español y el árabe a opción, o elección, de los alumnos tal como debe ser.
El CHED está, muy al parecer, saboteando muy adrede (deliberately undermining) lo que manda la misma Constitución al no querer adjudicar un número adecuado de unidades para acreditar el español, o el árabe, en el programa de estudios secundarios y universitarios CUANDO EXPIDIó SU cmo #59,s.OF 1996.
Esta omisión adrede es una (this deliberate mis-implementation by ommision is a deliberate) ofensa, un insulto, a todos los países de habla española y de habla árabe del mundo (to all the Hispanic and Arabic countries).
(2)All Zamboangueños and all Spanish-speaking Filipinos should rally all the Tagalog speaking Filipinos, along with those who are Visayan (Cebuano, Ilongo, Sinamar-Leyteño, Cuyunin ang Aclan), to object to the ramming into Tagalog of the entire English Alphabet along with its syllabication and spelling because it is turning Tagalog, (the Basis of Filipino), along with all our major native languages into vile pidgins of English. We will all sound very soon as Papua New Guinea, as the New Hebridans, as the Solomones whose native languages have been destroyed by the imposition in them of the anti-phonetic English alphabet. Teach the English alphabet in classes of the English language. Do not teach it in Filipino language classes. This is a crime against our own people!
All our native languages, including Chavacano,are not pidgin languages because they already have their own grammar system and their own literature and correct forms of usage. To subject all of them, through the national language called Filipino, to the unphonetic English Alphabet is not only to "pidginize them" but actually debase and destroy them in the most deliberately reacherous manner. All our native languages follow the rule: Kung ano ang bigkas, siya ang súlat, at, kung anó ang súlat, siya rin ang bigkas. (Lo que se articula se escribe y lo que se escribe se articula o pronuncia/ What is said is written as it is said and what is written is said as it is written). Este reglamento no existe dentro del idioma Inglés, y es por eso que la imposición por Ponciano B. P. Pineda, del alfabeto Ingles en el Tagalo/Filipino, mediante su "DIKSYUNARYONG FILIPINO-ENGLISH"(Komisyon ng Wikang Filipino,1992,páginas v, vi, y vii)viene a ser un genocidio cultural y lingüístico, un crímen de lesa lengua y cultura filipinas, si no se levanta un movimiento para exponerlo como el mal que es dentro de la ecología lingüística de Filipinas.
(3)Lo que debemos restaurar, tanto en el chavacano como en el tagalog, en el bisaya, en el ilocano y en todas nuestras principales lenguas nativas, es el alfabeto Filipino de 32 letras, tal como nos lo utilizaron nuestros literatos y grandes genios del pasado como Francisco Balagtás, el padre de la lengua tagala, y como de los Ilocanos y los primeros redactores del "Magagtás" de Panay.
(4)Todos los que son maestros y profesors del idioma Filipino deben rechazar de inmediato la imposición del alfabeto Inglés en sus clases de Tagalo/Filipino. Deben en cambio usar el originario alfabeto de Balagtas cuyas letras se leen con la E batangueña que lo hacen muy parecidas a las letras del alfabeto español salvo en el caso de ciertas letras como Nang (Ng) y Ñg (ñga).
Aquí está el originario alfabeto Filipino con la pronunciación de cada una de sus letras:
A (ah), B (be), C (se), Ch (se-atse), D (de), E (eh), F (ephe), G (he), H (atse), I (ih), J (hota), K (ka), L (ele), LL (elye), M (eme), N (ene), NG (nang), Ñ (enye), ÑG (ñga), O (oh), P (pe), Q (ku), R (ere),RR (er-re), S (ese), T (te), U (uh), V (ve), W (wa), X (ekis), Ya (o, i griega o ye), Z (seta).
Con estas dos medidas (with these 2 measures), se habrían salvaguardado (safeguarded) el chavacano juntamente con el (together with)tagalog, el bisaya, el ilocano, el mismo idioma español en Filipinas y el resto de las lenguas nativas de este archipiélago.
Saludos.

EL IDIOMA CRIOLLO DE FILIPINAS

EL ORIGEN DEL CRIOLLO ZAMBOANGUEÑO

Los comienzos del chabacano, hoy denominado también como "el criollo zamboangueño", se araigan en la misma fundación del pueblo y fuerte de Zamboanga en marzo de 1635.
Don Balbino Saavedra, el reconocido historiador de Zamboanga y Basilan, nos cuenta que fue en una fecha anterior, pero dentro del mismo mes de marzo de 1635, cuando el Capitan Juan Chávez zarpaba, con tres cientos españoles y mil soldados visayos, provenientes del Fuerte de San Pedro de la Villa de Cebú, a lo que era "Samboañgan", una ranchería de la tribu medio-musulmana de lutaos y subanos del sud-occidente de Mindanao.
( La palabra "Lutao" en bisaya significa "flotante" o "gente" que flota con el mar". La lengua más extendida entre los moros filipinos, el Tausug, da la misma definición al nombre "Lutao".)
Unos días después de la llegada del mencionado Capitán Chávez, el misionero español, Fray Pedro Gutiérrez, posiblemente un agustino calzado, también llegaba a Samboañgan con un enorme grupo de islenos cristianos que, procedentes de varios puntos de Luzón y Visayas, se habían previamente reunido en el pueblo de Dapitan, situado en el norte de lo que hoy es la península de ambas Zamboangas, ( la del Norte y la del Sur ), para verse conducidos a la misma ranchería sureña por un noble indio lutao que se llamó Pedro Piantón.
Los que integraban el enorme grupo del Padre Gutiérrez hablaban varias lenguas isleñas y a duras penas se entendían mutuamente.
Aunque los pertinentes documentos históricos sobre Zamboanga no lo digan tácitamente, se puede entrever la decisiva intención, por parte de los conquistadores españoles, de fundar Zamboanga e instalar en ella un fuerte con el objectivo de socavar la supremaciá naval de los moros en el sur del archipiélago filipino. Con la primera piedra de ese mismo fuerte empezó, en 1635, el idioma criollo de Zamboanga.
Hay otra fuente que nos cuenta, sin embargo, que era desde el año 1585, o sea 14 años después de la fundación de Manila y del Estado Filipino por Leguspi, cuando otro misionero agustino en el P. Diego del Rosario llegó a predicar en la Caldera de Ba-y, o en el Recodo, entre los subanos, por el que tuvo que utilizar un castellano mezclado con palabras del vernáculo local para decir sus semones. (Origins of Chavacano,The Tribune, 12 enero 2001).
Pero, como la construcción, después de todo, del Fuerte de Nuestra Señora del Pilar en Zamboanga tenía por objetivo separar, mediante un semibloqueo naval, a los moros de Joló de los de Cotabato y de los que poblaban aisladamente el centro de Mindanao, el hecho de que el idioma chabacano empezase con la construcción del mismo en 1635, es el que queda establecido en los anales de la historia. Cotabato también era un foco musulman, y muy particularmente para los moros de las provincias que hoy se conocen con los nombres de Lanao del Norte y del Sur. (El nombre español de estas dos provincias muy posiblemente derivan de la frase castellama "La nao").
El mencionado bloqueo naval consiguió, muy al parecer, la desunión entre los moros del ya distante archipiélago joloano, que se encuentra más próximo a los estados musulmanes de Malasia y Brunay, frente a los que se encuentran en Cotabato y Lanao en el centro casi de la isla de Mindanao.
(* La Nao de Manila: asi se llamaba cada una de las naves españolas, colectivamente conocidas como "los galeones de Acapulco", que negociaba la enorme distancia entre Mexico y Manila durante un periodo de más de dos siglos. Constituían el único eslabón político, mercantil y cultural, entre las Islas Filipinas y el antiguo Virreynato de la Nueva España, hoy Mexico).
Las aludidas provincias de Lanao tomaron su nombre de un buque de guerra que los españoles, según una casi olvidada tradición, desmantelaron en Oroquieta, Misamis Oriental, y que llevaron, pedazo por pedazo, a la laguna de La Nao, que se encuentra miles de pies sobre el mar, donde nos lo reconstituyeron para que subyugue a cañonazos a las tribus moras que vivian en derredor del mismo.
Es por eso que dicho lago y las dos provincias en su derredor comparten el mismo nombre de "Lanao". (Tomado de un Relato de Don Balbino Saavedra, ilustre zamboangueño que pasó a vivir en Basilan.)
(......................................)

EL ZAMBOANGUEÑO SE CONSOLIDA

La infraestructura de la ciudad zamboangueña y la construcción del Fuerte del Pilar tenían que realizarse de prisa. Y, con el mismo paso presuroso se tenía que superar la barrera idiomática entre tantos súbditos cristianos traidos de Cebú a Zamboanga frente a los mismos lutaos y, o, subanos, de la zona.
Los tres cientos españoles bajo el mando del Capitan Chávez y el Fraile Gutiérrez no podían aprenderse, a la vez, el tagalo, el bisaya, el ilocano, el pampango y tantas otras lenguas nativas que el grupo multi-étnico hablaba para confusión de todos.
La solución fue hablar en un castellano infantil a todos los indígenas que, a su vez, no tardaron mucho en asimilarlo para entenderse en los promenores de la construcción del Fuerte del Pilar y de la que luego sería la Villa de Zamboanga.
En poco tiempo, los indígenas cristianos ya se acostumbraron a comunicarse en aquel castellano rudimentario que, inconcientemente, iban ajustando a la estructura de sus respectivos idiomas nativos. De la necesidad de comunicarse, para recibir órdenes y pedir favores, nació lo que en una generación vendría a ser el chabacano de Zamboanga.
Desde aquel tiempo, el criollo de Zamboanga vino desarrollándose dentro del aislamiento en que vivía aquella población y por un periodo de dos cientos años. Es todo el tiempo en que también duraron las denominadas "guerras moras".
Mas, la villa y fortaleza de Zamboanga supervivieron invencibles.
A pesar de la hostilidad con que se veía rodeada, aquella valiente población, con su lengua vernácula y su cultura hispana, maduró irreversiblemente.
El único contacto "de afuera" con que contaba la población zamboangueña fue el que daba el soldado español y el soldado filipino de habla-castellana.
Estos llegaban de Manila, de Cebú o de Iloilo para enfrentarse con los moros que incumplian su adhesión jurada a la autoridad central en Manila tal como fue establecida por el Sínodo de 1599 y tal como fue afirmada, más tarde, por el Sultan Alimudín de Joló.

BASE DE LA COMUNIDAD ZAMBOANGUEÑA

Con el tiempo, muchos soldados españoles se casaron con mujeres lutaos y subanos, y estas familias hispano-indígenas formaron la base de lo que es la población zamboangueña que habla en criollo en la intimidad de sus hogares y en castellano al confesarse y al alternar socialmente con una creciente élite zamboangueña que, a su vez, siempre había preferido el "castellano bien puro" como su timbre de distinción.
Y es que, los que presumían de distinguidos admonizaban, a cada paso, a los que les hablaban en chabacano con un:
"¡Perdone usté, pero yo no ta siempre conversá ansina na guiod en el lenguaje de tienda. ¡Conversá vos tamén en castellano!"
Durante los incontables enfrentamientos militares en que los soldados españoles y filipinos tenían que luchar en contra de las levantiscas huestes moras, la entera población zamboangueña se movilizaba para cuidar de heridos y enfermos.
Y éstos soldados, como eran de Manila y otras provincias cristianas del archipiélago, no dominaban muy bien el chabacano de Zamboanga. De hecho, el idioma utilizado tenía que ser el propio castellano aunque tuviese sus imperfecciones.
Pero, es también un hecho que este criollo del español, sea el de Zamboanga o el de Manila y Cavite, llegó a extenderse, a la larga, como la "lingua franca" de todos los habitantes del archipiélago filipino. El criollo o chabacano, irrespectivo de origen, lo utilizaban los filipinos para entenderse con los españoles y con sus compatriotas de otra lengua nativa.
Y, al par que se extendía el castellano como la lengua oficial del comercio y de la educación, el chabacano, en general, seguía como una alternativa eficaz para los que no podían completar su dominio del español ya que sus estudios primarios en las escuelas parroquiales es lo único que completarían.

MAS SOBRE EL CRIOLLO
(añadido el 19/01/01).

Todos estamos de acuerdo que el inglés es internacional, pero su estructura fonética es todo lo opuesto a la misma estructura de nuestras lenguas indígenas, y forzar su alfabeto, por medio del mismo sistema educativo pagado por contribuyentes filipinos, es un genocidio que se hace a costa del mismo que paga por su supuesta educación. Y esto lo tenemos que atajar porque es un crimen de lesa cultura y lengua filipinas.
(PD: Por cierto que esta nota deriva del interesante cambio entre Liz Medina, desde Chile, y Andreas Herbig, desde Alemania: A un punto, Andreas pregunta sobre las raíces de las lenguas filipinas).
Las raíces son principalmente dos: la indígena malayo-polinesa y la española. Según el Cuadro de Raíces del Tagalo, tal como fue preparado por el Instituto de Lengua Nacional (Surian ng Wikang Pambansâ).
Los elementos son:
Número total de raíces: 8,500
De orígen malayo, indonesio (polinesio):3,000
De orígen español: 5,000
De origen asiático(chino;japonés;sáscrito-hindu):500
Se tiene que hablar de raíces porque la gramática tagala, como la ilocana, bisaya, bicolana, etcétera, se realiza a base de prefijos, infijos y sufijos.
Por ejemplo, la palabra "ocupar" en tagalo cobra las siguientes formas verbales al ser 'conjugada' según sus afijos.
ino-ukupá---nos lo están ocupando
ukupa-hin--nos lo va a ocupar
ni-okupá----nos lo ocupó
mag-okupá---vaya a ocupar(lo)
nag-okupá---se fue a ocupar(lo)
ina-okupá--nos lo hizo ocupar
pinapa-okupá---nos lo deja ocupar.
En las formas que preceden, el verbo 'ocupar' se convierte en raíz tagala antes 'okupá' y a base de esta raíz se le aplica los afijos para conjugarla.
El verbo 'ocupar' también se puede reducir a su otra raíz más breve que es "upa" que en este sentido viene a significar "alquilar".
upa-------------alquilar
umupa;magupa----vaya a alquilar
nañguñgupa------el que está alquilando
ino-upahan------está alquilando
nag-upa---------(lo) alquiló
mag-u-upa-------va a alquilar
El bisaya, como el ilocano, tiene sus respectivos afijos que es lo que lo hace distinto del tagalo y del ilocano, amén de las distintas raíces indígenas que pudiera tener.
Las raíces que unen a todas las lengas isleñas son precisamente las que provinieron del castellano.
De ahí la fundamental importancia y necesidad del castellano como elemento unificador de nuestras lenguas indígenas.
Los usenses nos quieren destruir esta unidad lingüística forzando el alfabeto y deletreo inglés en estas lenguas.
Si el idioma inglés fuese fonético como lo son nuestras lenguas, su introducción a la fuerza no sería dañina a la entera fonología indígena. Pero el inglés es antifonético porque no se pronuncia como se escribe. Es por eso que la misma Comission on Filipino al imponer adrede el alfabeto inglés en el tagalo comete un verdadero genocidio porque nos lo destruye todo. En cambio el español, por fonético, no estorba la estructura originaria de nuestras lenguas indígenas. Por el contrario, las enriquece. Esto no lo quieren comprender los paisanos que tenemos que escandalosamente se entregan al servilismo vergonzante a todo lo usense, particularmente a lo que es dañino e irracional. ggr_flamenco@hotmail.com

Food Trip ... Ciudad de Zamboanga
By Chef Ed Dychauco, RN
Friday, December 3, 2010


ANYONE who goes to Asia's Latin City, Zamboanga would not only enjoy the exotic place where century old acacia trees abound, the historical place, the beautiful and friendly people, the sceneries which includes the lush mountains and the sea and the barter trade, but the delicious, the scrumptious, the freshest catch from the sea's bounty.

The most popular of course is the "Curacha" (also known as spanner crab or red frog crab), a chavacano term for this sea crab species which is found in
Zamboanga. It is red in color and remains red even when cooked either by boiling or steaming. To maintain its exotic flavor, it should be cooked minimally.

However, I have tried the curacha prepared in two different ways. One, plainly steamed and the other cooked the "Alavar" way which I also find very interesting because of the sauce which is a bit on the sweet and spicy side. Guess that is why when I was told to "lick" it, I was quite hesitant but ended up doing it anyway and savoring the full flavor of the crab!

Other mouth-watering seafoods would include the large prawn, either steamed, baked or deep fried. They are all oh-so-good! There's also the smaller shrimps which when mixed with spices and deep fried made the whole thing crunchy without wasting any part of the shrimp!

Squid. Fried calamari, grilled, stuffed, sizzling, stir fried. Cooked in all methods, it still would come out good! No doubt about it.

Fish. Fresh, small, medium or large. Plainly fried, whole or fillet, with or without sauce (usually, escabeche or sweet and sour sauce), steamed, grilled, soup, dried. Name it. It's available almost everywhere!

Sea shells, clams, mussels, etc. seaweeds (lato, guso), jelly fish and many others. And of course, there is the all-time favorite chicken, deep fried, or bar-b-que.

I had a good dinner after my arrival in Zamboanga City at Alejandra's, courtesy of Mr. Marlon Alaba of Altus Communications. I ordered their special which was served in a native square plate with a variety of fried vegetables and seafoods: eggplant, calamares, shrimps, daing na bangus and a chunk of fresh green mangoes with a delicious blend of sweet and spicy bagoong. Their version of java rice topped with seafood was really good!

Quick breakfast was at their famous Jimmy Satti. A very unassuming place full of customers eating their share of satti. Satti, as what they call it is actually a reddish sweet and spicy "soup-like" dish with a chop up puso (hanging rice).

Usually, the people would order a piece of chicken to go with it. I was informed that they open from about 4 a.m. and closes at about 10 a.m. or 11 a.m.

Lunch time was sponsored by Mr. Henry Ang of Shoppers Plaza at Abalone
Restaurant, a Chinese restaurant. Together with Ms. Mac Dang, Marlon and a few others, we had a feast of fresh seafoods (what else?) of Steamed Curacha and Crabs, Sea cucumber stuffed with meat in its Chinese sauce, finger-licking good deep fried prawns, abalone, clear clam soup. And if this would make anybody feel better, we devoured everything!

Had dinner with another Henry. This time, it was Mr. Henry Luy of Zamboanga Carrageenan Manufacturing Corporation. And not only once, but twice!

We had a great dinner at Alavar, another very well-known sea food restaurant that serves Spanish-influenced dishes. The menu was in Spanish/Chavacano but with English translations. Again, it was seafoods! But this time, cooked and prepared the Alavar way. Baked clams with a sugary sweet topping that blends very well with its meat, large sautéed prawns, grilled malasugui fish to perfection, fresh fish kinilaw and curacha! Another feast fit for a senor!

We had another great dinner with Henry and his family, Jude Garcines and his girlfriend, Lara at the famous Hai San Seafood Market and Restaurant the night before I left for Cagayan de Oro. As promised, another truly unforgettable great Chinese sea food dinner! We had jelly fish for appetizer, refreshing seafood soup, mixed sea foods vegetables, sweet and sour fish, crispy tempura, sliced prawns in a sweet sauce and steamed lapu-lapu fish in black bean sauce. Another tummy-filled evening!

What is food without desserts? Of course, Zamboanga is proud of its very own
Myrna's Bake House. It has about four branches, if I am not mistaken. But the one I get to visit was the one in Pasonanca Road. A very cozy, yet friendly place for friends and family. I got the chance to meet the owner, Ms. Myrna Inocencio, and her unica hija, Ivy Simbajon and was treated to their famous and sinfully-rich cakes and pastries. I even got to bring home some goodies, courtesy of Ms. Myrna. Having a sweet tooth really helps.

So, the next time I get to go back to Zamboanga City, I would definitely visit these exciting and delicious places again and enjoy as much as I can! These are the places to be! (Website: www.potsnpans1976.weebly.com; email:

MALA DISNEY LAND ANG DATING NG ZAMBOANGA HUH,,I WANT TO BE THERE SOOOOON... YOU CAN REALLY FEEL XMAS...:lol::lol::lol:

Saturday, December 4, 2010

THE Department of Energy (DOE) has approved the electrification projects of the Zamboanga City Electric Cooperative (Zamcelco) worth P4.1 million for five areas in the city's east coast.

Zamcelco general manager Reinerio Ramos said his office already received the "notice to proceed," which was signed by Energy Secretary Jose Rene Almendras.


The five areas to benefit from Zamcelco's latest electrification projects are Sitio Manga and Sitio Tabuk, Barangay Bolong; Sitio Tongbato, Barangay Sangali; and Sitio Pat and Sitio Merloquet in Barangay Sibulao.

Ramos said that Mayor Celso Lobregat's strong endorsement of Zamcelco's request to avail the so-called DOE Energy Regulations (ER) 1-94 Electrification Fund of P4.1 million accrued from the commercial operation of Zamboanga City-based Western Mindanao Power Corporation-Diesel Power Plant (WMPC-DPP) under ER 1-94 helped push for its fast approval by the energy department.

"Zamcelco can now undertake the project full blast most likely by next week already," Ramos said.

He also noted that Sitio Merloquet in Barangay Sibulao is where the City Government plans to improve and promote its newly-found attractive waterfalls to boost the local tourism industry.

Ramos said the waterfalls in Merloquet have a huge potential for hydro-power plant that could help the area produce its own electricity through the so-called renewable power sourcing.

DOE personnel from its Davao office and Zamcelco officials headed by Ramos visited last month the waterfalls in Merloquet to study its potential as an energy-generating source.

Ramos said the five projects are part of Zamcelco's electrification expansion program as "we are addressing in advance the growing demand of our customers."

The cooperative is doing everything for the good of its member consumers and the entire city of Zamboanga, Ramos added. (Bong Garcia)

Hello! I heard that Robinsons' Supermarket in C3 is maganda and spacious daw. Congrats Pagadian...

Anyway, the billboard on the map of Go Hotels Expansion clearly identified that Zamboanga will be one of Robinsons' Priorities for mall construction. I heard that the Blas Compound in Camins remained open, sans the gate. I hope it will give way for the construction Robinsons' Complex which includes a mall and a Go! Hotel by March, hopefully.

I am looking forward to see you in Zamboanga this Christmas season...

Wow! Zamboanga! Ang laki pa ng font!

The sites being capitalized are the current and future mall sites of Robinsons, in which the Go! Hotel will be located beside every Robinson Mall. Sana madadali yung announcement ng Robinsons sa priority project ng Zamboanga Mall. Maybe march 2KXI/2011.

Hello! I heard that Robinsons' Supermarket in C3 is maganda and spacious daw. Congrats Pagadian...

Anyway, the billboard on the map of Go Hotels Expansion clearly identified that Zamboanga will be one of Robinsons' Priorities for mall construction. I heard that the Blas Compound in Camins remained open, sans the gate. I hope it will give way for the construction Robinsons' Complex which includes a mall and a Go! Hotel by March, hopefully.

I am looking forward to see you in Zamboanga this Christmas season...

Sure na po sa March? :colgate:

MEMO TO: THE ATENEO COMMUNITY

RE: REACCREDITATION STATUS OF ADZU HIGH SCHOOL (http://www.adzu.edu.ph/memos/1300-reaccreditation-status-of-adzu-high-school.html)

I am very delighted to inform our community that in a fax message dated 26 November 2010, the Philippine Accrediting Association of Schools, Colleges and Universities (PAASCU) granted reaccreditation status of our AdZU High School for a period of five years valid until November 2015.

I wish to thank the AdZU High School Community under the leadership of Ms Janet A Fernandez (Principal) and Ms Rosie M Hong (immediate past Principal) for enabling us to obtain our new reaccreditation status.

Congratulations!

Antonio F Moreno SJ
