Anyone on the west coast hear it? Pretty strong signal here in the ROK,
and I don't get a lot of Japanese stations.



Don't they habla Espanol in the Phillipines?

Spanish WAS the official lingua franca of the phillipines for more than
three centuries. It's use declined in the early part of the 20th
century. English became the language of instruction in the Phillipines
in 1901. Tagalog (or Filipino as it is now known) became the second
national language. The 1973 constitution declared the Pilipino language
to be co-official, along with English, and mandated the development of a
National language, to be known as Filipino. If you want to send a
broadcast message to the Phillipines that would be understood by the
majority of the populace, English would have to be the primary choice
and Filipino as a second choice. I have no statistics on how many people
understand Spanish in the Phillipines today but I suspect it would be
something akin to the number of today's Indonesians who speak Dutch.

Are you kidding ? They have their own language(s) . Literally dozens
of them . And besides , Spanish has not been used for a long time .
Since 1898 , I believe , it has lost the status of being the official
language ... I did meet some of the older people who did converse in
Spanish , but that was many years ago .

A lot of Spanish influence persists, however. Many of the people I
know from the Philippines have Spanish names; of course, many have
Tagalog names too.

The Philippines 300 Years of Spanish Imperial Rule :
{The Spaniards Learned Very Well From Their 700
Years of Rule by the Islamic 'Caliphate' in Iberia}

Become a Catholic and Receive a 'Christian' Name.

Want to Get Married in the Church :

Send Your Children To A Catholic School :
So that they can Learn Spanish and Receive
a 'Christian' Name.

Fifteen Generations Latter , , , There Still Is A
Spanish + Catholic + Christian Imprint To The
Philippines and Filipinos.
