message: I am removing these links after this discussion at Wikipedia:Help desk#External links. WP:EL also states that links should be to "a relevant and informative site that should otherwise be included." Also, "sites with objectionable amounts of advertising" should be avoided, and with the sun star bacolod link, roughly 50% of the page is advertising. Also, "Sites that are only indirectly related to the article's subject" should be avoided, and the case is the same with these links. SpencerT♦C 20:58, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

message: I'm changing the term Language Center for Koreans to Language Center for Foreigners.  While it is true that there is a large number of Korean expatriates in Bacolod City, we have to note that these language centers cater to other nationalities as well, although the number of foreign students are not as big as Koreans.  If any editor wishes to revert, please discuss it here first.  Thanks. Xeltran (talk) 13:18, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

message: How can Dakbánwa sang Bacólod be the native name of the City of Bacolod when the word dakbánwa () which comes from the amalgamized phrase "dakô () ng̃a bánwa ()", could not even be found in the old Ilonggo/Ilongo/Ylongo dictionaries? Here's an external link to an Online Dictionary of Old Ilonggo/Ilongo/Ylongo Language.  What you can find in that online dictionary is the entry "siudád, (Sp. ciudad) City, large town. (cf. bánwa).". I do believe that dakbánwa was just recently coined and being popularized on local radios and televisions. It only shows that it is not even a native word. The word dakbánwa does not literally mean city since it's English equivalent means very large town. A town can be very large but it's still a town. Furthermore, there were no cities in Negros during the Spanish Colonial Period. Most of the old Bacolodians'/Bacoleños/mg̃a Bacolodnon nearest exposure to the word "city" was through the City of Iloilo (Spanish: Ciudad de Iloílo/Yloílo/Yloylo), the Most Loyal and Noble City of Iloilo (Spanish: La Muy Leal y Noble Ciudad de Iloílo), which became a city in 1885. Thus, Bacolodians'/Bacoleños/mg̃a Bacolodnon first grasp of a word called "city" is the Spanish loanword ciudad (). Eversince 1855, the word ciudad has been indigenized by the native Bacolodians/Bacoleños/mg̃a Bacolodnon and the Ilonggos/Ilongos/Ylongos alike. Since ciudad is a loanword, that should be used by Bacolodians/Bacoleños/mg̃a Bacolodnon  as a native word for a city. There is no doubt on the wikipedia entry of the City of Iloilo saying Iloilo City (Filipino: Lungsod ng Iloilo, Hiligaynon: Ciudad sang Iloílo) and Native Name: Ciudad sang Iloílo. It only shows that the correct Hiligaynon term for a city is ciudad. Besides, almost everyone in Bacolod (if not all), uses the word ciudad instead of the ridiculous-sounding dakbánwa word which has no historical basis to be even precisely/correctly called as a "native" word. Who coined it anyway? Does Hiligaynon language really have an active Commission on the Hiligaynon Language to regulate its words and spellings (orthography)? Filipino orthography today allows the Filipinos to use the Modern Filipino alphabet which consists of the entire 26-letter set of the Basic Modern Latin alphabet, the Spanish Ñ and the Ng digraph of Tagalog. Does that mean that we, Hiligaynons, could preserve the Spanish loanwords' spelling in its original form because of the new Filipino alphabet? Why not? We, Hiligaynons, don't even bother change the spelling of Engish loanwords used in Hiligaynon. The usage of the letters K and W is specifically for the Tagalog language. What can you say????

replies: text: I will attempt to consult Hiligaynon experts at the University of San Agustin's Institute for  Panayana and Cross-Cultural Studies, a branch of the University Coordinating Center  for Research and Publications. This is a matter not to be trifled with, and requires the input of Hiligaynon linguists. Meanwhile, I did find a reference to dakbanwa in an online Hiligaynon dictionary: http://www.bohol.ph/diksyunaryo.php?sw=siudad,%20dakbanwa&lang=Hiligaynon. The word, however, indeed does not appear in Kaufmann's 1934 Visayan-English dictionary. — •KvЯt GviЯnЭlБ• Speak! 01:34, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
