correctamente!! there are other cities in the Philippines with clear manifestation of Spanish influence but it is only the city of Zamboanga who have managed to preserve Spanish-creole language - "Chavacano" that is is till the predominant language being used today in the pueblo y monte del ciudad. Aside, from the architectural design of many landmarks here and the way of life of the people, so to speak!

You don't like spanish? That makes two of us

.for.ce.br · October 4th, 2010, 05:39 PM

Why do you guys don't like Spanish? Just because it's so similar to Portuguese?

***Animo*** · October 4th, 2010, 08:43 PM

Because Portugal is a province of Spain.

Do Zamboanga's fishermen still use sailboats in their daily activities? Or they don't use sailboats any longer?
