Talk:Spanish influence on Filipino culture

message: In Mexico the word for avacado is "agaucate". In Mexico, Spanish is spoken. So "seguro" means (certain, sure, secure). In tagalog "seguro" means "maybe". The word Tagalog word "pirme" comes from the Spanish word "firme" which means "firm" in English. Which I guess evolved in Taglog to mean "always".  
Jondel, everything is good except "donde andas?" Which means in Spanish, "Where are you?".
Yeah, about the Spanish words. After the Mexican Independence, interactions with Spain where very limited. At that time, the telegraph cable to link Europe with Manila did not yet exist. So, most spanish words come from before Mexican Independence. I do know that Mexican telenovelas at one point were very predominant here in the Philippines. As of now they have been subplanted by proud pinoynovelas and korea novelas. 
Also we need to remember that Tagalog has a pseudo-spanish tendency. Boxero (Boxer, boxiador), Aeroplano (airplane, avion). So some words are legitamate spanish loan words or evolutions of spanish loan words. Kamusta = come estas

message: ------
1. I thought that the Filipinos surnames were simply handed to them, with guidelines of course, by the Spaniards. How, again, was the implementation done? So how can we explain the fact the mentioned religious surnames exist today if they had been disallowed? Were names allowed that was not in the catálogo in the first place?
2. Re: the restriction from use of surnames of Spanish hidalgos. Of the catálogo, the subsequent census reported that indeed the names of the illustrious houses of Alba (Toledo?), Medinaceli (Cordova or Cerda?), Osuna (Giron?) were being held by even indios in the mountains (who surely had no inkling that these were illustrious). 
3. That the spelling or even willful mispronunciation of native or Chinese surnames were of Filipinos' making, just to sound Hispanic? That is very doubtful. How many at that time could even write? Only 1% were mestizos? Maybe only 1% of Indios could even write, much less spell. Are there data here? More likely the Spanish administrators did the Hispanized misspellings and mispronouncings. 
Therefore, all these "errors" must lie squarely on the Spanish implementors. There should be no such slant about Filipinos wanting to be quasi-Hispanic. There may exist such a colonial trait but these very simply are not the evidences of it.--Vipaleonar 21:14, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

message: The intro starts with a reference to Toynbee. Could anyone tell me what book this comes from? He mentions the Philippines in his A Study of History, but I think it's a great piece on the hispanic heritage of its culture. Thanks! --Nino Gonzales 05:49, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

message: Hispanic cultural legacy in the Philippines → Hispanic influence on Filipino culture — A more neutral name, I think. "Cultural legacy" sounds personally invested. —Ptcamn 00:30, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
