Sky Harbor: Update to reflect the appointment of a chargé, but with no current permanent address

The '''Embassy of the Philippines in Bucharest''' was the [[diplomatic mission]] of the [[Philippines|Republic of the Philippines]] to [[Romania]]. First opened in 1975, it was last located in the neighborhood of [[Cotroceni]], part of [[Sector 5 (Bucharest)|Sector 5]] in western [[Bucharest]].

Closed in 2012 due to a reduction in the Philippines' diplomatic presence worldwide during the presidency of [[Benigno Aquino III]], the mission is scheduled to reopen in 2024.

==History==
Diplomatic relations between the Philippines and Romania were established on March 10, 1972,<ref name="relations" /> the first country in the [[Eastern Bloc]] to do so,<ref name="momentous" /> and beginning a broader push during the presidency of [[Ferdinand Marcos]] to normalize relations between the Philippines and countries within the bloc.<ref name="easternbloc" /> Although relations were initially conducted through the Philippine Mission in [[Geneva]],<ref name="delia" /> a resident embassy in Romania was later opened in March 1975, a month after the opening of the Romanian Embassy in [[Manila]],<ref name="relations" /> with [[Leticia Ramos-Shahani]] serving as the Philippines' first ambassador to Romania as well as the first woman to serve as ambassador to a country in the bloc.<ref name="leticia" /> The mission was also responsible for conducting relations with [[Bulgaria]] and [[Moldova]].<ref name="directory" />

After a massive expansion of the Philippines' diplomatic presence abroad during the presidency of [[Gloria Macapagal Arroyo]], in 2010 Senator [[Franklin Drilon]] questioned the need for embassies in countries with small Filipino communities, including a number of countries in Europe, and called for a review of the Philippines' diplomatic presence worldwide.<ref name="drilon" /> This would lead to the closure of ten posts under Arroyo's successor, [[Benigno Aquino III]], and ultimately to the closure of the Embassy on October 31, 2012.<ref name="closures" /> While it was closed, all three countries where it exercised jurisdiction were placed under the jurisdiction of the Philippine Embassy in [[Budapest]].<ref name="expansion" />

On November 15, 2022, during budget deliberations for the [[Department of Foreign Affairs (Philippines)|Department of Foreign Affairs]] (DFA), Senator [[Loren Legarda]] announced that the Embassy was one of four missions that would reopen in 2024 as part of an expansion of the Philippines' diplomatic presence under [[Bongbong Marcos]].<ref name="reopen" /> This was later confirmed by the Budapest mission on January 29, 2024 when, during its annual consular outreach mission in Bucharest, it noted that this would be its last consular mission owing to the Embassy's impending reopening later in the year,<ref name="outreach" /> and the DFA itself confirmed the reopening on June 21, 2024 during the opening of a new honorary consulate in [[Brașov]].<ref name="brasov" />

The advance team setting up the Embassy announced that they had arrived in Bucharest on September 14, 2024, and are preparing to immediately begin offering consular services once the mission has completed all the required procedures for opening.<ref name="opening" />

==Staff and activities==
The Philippine Embassy in Bucharest is provisionally headed by a ''[[chargé d'affaires]]'', pending the appointment of a new ambassador by the Philippine government. The current ''chargé d'affaires'' is Siegfred T. Masangkay,<ref name="siegfred" /> while the last resident ambassador was Isaias F. Begonia. A career diplomat who was appointed to the position by President Arroyo, he was previously deployed to the Philippine Embassy in [[Doha]] as ambassador to [[Qatar]].<ref name="qatar" /> His appointment was confirmed by the [[Commission on Appointments]] (CA) on May 27, 2009,<ref name="begonia-confirmed" /> and he retired from the foreign service the following year.<ref name="begonia-retired" /> At the time the Embassy closed in 2012, it was headed by Maria Fe T. Pangilinan as ''chargée d'affaires''.<ref name="pangilinan" />

With the Embassy's impending reopening it is set to be headed by a new ambassador, Noel Eugene E. Servigon, who was appointed to the position by President Marcos on June 11, 2024.<ref name="appointed" /> Prior to becoming Ambassador, Servigon, a career diplomat, served as the Permanent Representative of the Philippines to the [[ASEAN|Association of Southeast Asian Nations]].<ref name="asean" /> His appointment was confirmed by the CA on August 7, 2024.<ref name="confirmed" />

{{Featured article tools|1=Can't Catch Me Now}}</noinclude>

:Nominator(s): ''[[User:MaranoFan|N]][[User talk:MaranoFan|Ø]]'' 15:42, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

This article is about [[Olivia Rodrigo]]'s song "Can't Catch Me Now". Just two months after raking in massive critical acclaim with her second studio album, ''[[Guts (Olivia Rodrigo album)|Guts]]'', Rodrigo contributed this lush folk ballad to ''[[The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes]]''. The song, which consistently escalates in intensity throughout its duration, drew positive reviews for its sound and Rodrigo's vocal performance. Oscar buzz soon followed but the competition was unfortunately too tough. Thanks a lot to everyone who will take the time to give their feedback here.''[[User:MaranoFan|N]][[User talk:MaranoFan|Ø]]'' 15:42, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

Soon. I hope... '''λ''' [[User:NegativeMP1|'''Negative''']][[User talk:NegativeMP1|'''MP1''']] 17:20, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

:I'm sorry, but I'm not sure if I'm going to review this article anymore following some real-world developments. I'm also unsure if I am currently in the right place to determine what meets FA criteria or not. If something like a spotcheck or an image review is needed, let me know in a couple weeks and I might volunteer. But I don't think I will be reviewing the article prose. I wish you luck, and I'll try to make up for it at a later date. '''λ''' [[User:NegativeMP1|'''Negative''']][[User talk:NegativeMP1|'''MP1''']] 17:55, 4 October 2024 (UTC)

====Pending review from Pbritti====
Somehow this song from her discography had escaped my notice until now, so this review gives me an excuse to throw it on. Will complete in the next 24 hours. ~ [[User:Pbritti|Pbritti]] ([[User talk:Pbritti|talk]]) 01:47, 4 October 2024 (UTC)

====Review from Sky Harbor====
I was asked to review the article on [[WP:DISCORD]], and at first glance the prose looks good. Maybe a couple of errors here or there but otherwise written well. In honor of Olivia Rodrigo's [[Guts World Tour]] and it stopping in the Philippines (and also because she's Filipino American and it's [[Filipino American History Month]]), I will endeavor to review this more deeply and will post some thoughts on the article later depending on my real-life workload. --[[User:Sky Harbor|Sky Harbor]] ([[User talk:Sky Harbor|talk]]) 16:24, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

:Hi there, {{u|MaranoFan}}. Thank you very much for taking the time to write this article, and I'm glad that you had taken the time to write it. For this review, I will focus primarily on prose and writing, deferring to others more versed in the current FA process than me for more technical aspects:

:*In the first sentence of the [[Can't Catch Me Now#Composition and lyrics|composition and lyrics]] section, I would include that Dylan Waterhouse plays the instruments you mention in the next sentence ("..., who also plays..."). In the current arrangement I am left wondering who "he" is.
:*In the [[Can't Catch Me Now#Music video|music video]] section, is the "white sleek dress" a specific dress, or is it a white dress that happens to be slimming?
:*I personally write out numbers as words so long as it's ten or below ("Ten days later" instead of "10 days later"), but I get that this is a stylistic choice.
::*According to [[MOS:NUMERAL]], it seems to be a personal choice for integers greater than nine.--''[[User:MaranoFan|N]][[User talk:MaranoFan|Ø]]'' 05:34, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

:As I mentioned initially, the prose itself is written well so I don't see any major impediments to the article becoming an FA, and I think the suggestions made here would push that case even further. Best of luck. --[[User:Sky Harbor|Sky Harbor]] ([[User talk:Sky Harbor|talk]]) 14:22, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
::Many thanks for reviewing this and the nice words, [[User:Sky Harbor|Sky Harbor]]. Done on points one and two.--''[[User:MaranoFan|N]][[User talk:MaranoFan|Ø]]'' 05:34, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
:::Great! I appreciate the edits made and I am glad to vote '''Support''' for this nomination. --[[User:Sky Harbor|Sky Harbor]] ([[User talk:Sky Harbor|talk]]) 22:02, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

The '''Consulate General of the Philippines in Houston''' is a [[diplomatic mission]] of the [[Philippines|Republic of the Philippines]] in the [[United States]], representing the country's interests in [[Texas]]. It is located at the first floor of 9990 Richmond Avenue in the [[Westchase, Houston|Westchase]] neighborhood of west [[Houston]].

==History==
The current Philippine Consulate General in Houston was opened on September 24, 2018, 25 years after the first consulate was closed in September 1993.<ref name="reopening" /> That first consulate was closed ostensibly due to budget issues,<ref name="click" /> as well as the low number of Filipinos in the area at the time.<ref name="pressure" /> Closing the first consulate was ordered during the administration of President [[Corazon Aquino]], with holdover consuls heading the post until it was finally closed by her successor, [[Fidel V. Ramos]].<ref name="pacc" />

During the existence of the first consulate, Consul General [[Rodolfo Severino Jr.]] and other officers called on President [[Ferdinand Marcos]] to resign in the run-up to the [[People Power Revolution]] that would lead to his ouster.<ref name="revolt" /> After that consulate was closed, relations were conducted through an honorary consulate, led most recently by Ethel R. Mercado.<ref name="pacc" /> However, the city's rapidly-growing Filipino community continued to pressure for its reopening,<ref name="pressure" /> and in January 2018, Foreign Affairs Secretary [[Alan Peter Cayetano]] announced that the Consulate would reopen, alongside the future opening of three other missions.<ref name="reopen2" /> Philippine Ambassador to the United States [[Jose Manuel Romualdez]], writing in ''[[The Philippine Star]]'', particularly credited Senator [[Loren Legarda]] with pushing to allocate more funds for the opening of new Philippine diplomatic missions, including in Houston.<ref name="romualdez" />

The Consulate reopened out of a temporary space until finally moving to its permanent location, one floor below in the same building,<ref name="reopening" /> on March 21, 2019.<ref name="permanent" />

==Staff and activities==
The Philippine Consulate General in Houston is headed by Consul General Gunther Emil M. Sales, who assumed the position on July 30, 2024.<ref name="arrival" /> Prior to his current post, he served as Assistant Secretary for American Affairs at the [[Department of Foreign Affairs (Philippines)|Department of Foreign Affairs]] in Manila,<ref name="arrival" /> and before that was posted at the [[Embassy of the Philippines, Washington, D.C.|Philippine Embassy in Washington, D.C.]] as minister and consul.<ref name="gunther" /> There are also eleven other staffers deployed to the Consulate.<ref name="westchase" />

Currently, the consulate general's jurisdiction covers [[Texas]], [[Arkansas]], [[Louisiana]], [[Mississippi]], [[New Mexico]], and [[Oklahoma]], and also exercises jurisdiction over the honorary consulates in [[Dallas]] and [[New Orleans]], with former honorary consul Ethel R. Mercado being appointed to head the Dallas consulate.<ref name="romualdez2" /> Prior to its reopening the various states were under the jurisdiction of other missions: Texas and New Mexico were under the jurisdiction of the [[Consulate General of the Philippines, Los Angeles|Philippine Consulate General in Los Angeles]], which in partnership with local organizations conducted monthly outreach visits in Houston,<ref name="pacc" /> while Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Oklahoma were under the [[Consulate General of the Philippines, Chicago|Philippine Consulate General in Chicago]]. Since its reopening, the consulate general has conducted outreach missions in major cities within its jurisdiction, including in [[Little Rock, Arkansas|Little Rock]],<ref name="littlerock" /> [[Albuquerque, New Mexico|Albuquerque]],<ref name="albuquerque" /> [[Jackson, Mississippi|Jackson]],<ref name="jackson" /> and [[Oklahoma City]],<ref name="oklahoma" /> as well as within Texas.<ref name="mcallen" />

[[File:Diplomatic missions of the Philippines.svg|thumb|450px|right|Countries hosting diplomatic missions of the Philippines]]

The '''[[Philippines|Republic of the Philippines]]''' has a network of [[diplomatic mission]]s in major cities around the world, under the purview of the [[Department of Foreign Affairs (Philippines)|Department of Foreign Affairs]] (DFA), to forward the country's interests in the areas that they serve, as well as to serve the ever-growing numbers of [[Overseas Filipinos]] and [[Overseas Filipino Worker]]s.

Although the Philippine diplomatic mission network is wide, there are embassies that are accredited to other nations without Philippine diplomatic posts. The network as of October 2024 consists of 66 embassies, 28 consulates-general, 4 permanent missions to international organizations, and the Manila Economic and Cultural Office (MECO) in Taipei, and its 2 extension offices.

Excluded from this listing are honorary consulates, branches of the [[Sentro Rizal]], overseas offices of the [[Department of Tourism (Philippines)|Department of Tourism]] and the [[Department of Migrant Workers (Philippines)|Department of Migrant Workers]], and trade missions (with the exception of MECO, which serves as the country's [[de facto embassy]] to [[Taiwan]]).

==History==
Although attempts at initial diplomatic relations were made during the [[Philippine Revolution]] and the time of the [[First Philippine Republic]], most nations have established diplomatic relations with the Philippines only in the years after the country achieved independence from the [[United States]] in 1946.

The first documented instance of a Philippine diplomatic mission being established abroad was that of the [[Embassy of the Philippines, Tokyo|embassy in Tokyo]], which was opened by the [[Second Philippine Republic]], a puppet state of the [[Empire of Japan]], on March 24, 1944, with [[Jorge B. Vargas]] as its first ambassador.<ref name="vargas">{{cite news | last=Ocampo | first=Ambeth R. | author-link=Ambeth Ocampo | title=Jorge Vargas as PH envoy to Japan during WWII | url=https://opinion.inquirer.net/92431/jorge-vargas-as-ph-envoy-to-japan-during-wwii | newspaper=[[Philippine Daily Inquirer]] | date=January 29, 2016 | accessdate=October 24, 2021}}</ref> However, the mission was summarily closed with Japan's defeat in [[World War II]], and as it was never recognized by the pre-war [[Commonwealth of the Philippines]],<ref name="closed">{{cite web | title=Letter of President Roxas to General MacArthur on sending a five-man Commission on Reparations | url=https://www.officialgazette.gov.ph/1947/01/06/letter-of-president-roxas-to-general-macarthur-on-sending-a-five-man-commission-on-reparations/ | work=[[Official Gazette (Philippines)|Official Gazette]] | date=January 6, 1947 | accessdate=October 24, 2021 | quote=Concerning quarters for the Philippine personnel for this Commission and others we may send in the future, will you kindly consider the possibility of housing them in the building formerly occupied by the Philippine Embassy and which has been purchased by the Puppet Republic?}}</ref> the oldest continually-operating Philippine diplomatic mission is that of the [[Embassy of the Philippines, Washington, D.C.|embassy in Washington, D.C.]], replacing the office of the [[Resident Commissioner of the Philippines]] after the country achieved independence from the United States on July 4, 1946,<ref name="closed"/> and led by [[Joaquín Miguel Elizalde]] as its first ambassador.<ref name="firstmissions">{{cite web | title=Appointments and Designations: July 1946 | url=https://www.officialgazette.gov.ph/1957/03/31/appointments-and-designations-march-31-1957/ | work=[[Official Gazette (Philippines)|Official Gazette]] | date=March 31, 1957 | accessdate=January 1, 2021}}</ref> This was followed shortly thereafter with the establishment of the permanent mission to the [[United Nations]].<ref name="firstmissions" />

A number of missions were opened in the first years after independence. In his 1947 [[State of the Nation Address (Philippines)|State of the Nation Address]] (SONA), President [[Manuel Roxas]] announced that missions in a number of other cities were also opened aside from the embassy in Washington, D.C.;<ref name="roxas-sona">{{cite web | title=State of the Nation Address of President Roxas, January 27, 1947 | url=https://www.officialgazette.gov.ph/1947/01/27/state-of-the-nation-address-of-president-roxas-january-27-1947/ | work=[[Official Gazette (Philippines)|Official Gazette]] | date=January 27, 1947 | accessdate=October 24, 2021 | quote=Consistent with our new status as a Republic, we have organized a Foreign Affairs Department and a Foreign Service, and established an embassy at Washington and consular offices in a number of places abroad.}}</ref> these included the first consulates general in [[New York City]], [[San Francisco]], and [[Honolulu]], as well as consulates in [[Xiamen]] and [[Hong Kong]].<ref name="reorg">{{cite web | title=Executive Order No. 94, s. 1947 | url=https://www.officialgazette.gov.ph/1947/10/04/executive-order-no-94-s-1947/ | work=[[Official Gazette (Philippines)|Official Gazette]] | date=October 4, 1947 | accessdate=October 24, 2021}}</ref> Additional missions were opened the following year, including the first missions in Europe (in [[London]], [[Madrid]] and [[Rome]]) and Latin America (in [[Buenos Aires]]).<ref name="specialmission">{{cite web | title=State-of-the-Nation Message of President Quirino to the Joint Session of the Congress of the Philippines | url=https://www.officialgazette.gov.ph/1949/01/24/state-of-the-nation-message-of-president-quirino-to-the-joint-session-of-the-congress-of-the-philippines/ | work=[[Official Gazette (Philippines)|Official Gazette]] | date=January 24, 1949 | accessdate=December 5, 2020 | quote=For our part, we have diplomatic establishments’ in eight nations and consular representatives in seventeen cities.

The Philippines' diplomatic presence grew significantly during the presidency of [[Ferdinand Marcos]], spurred in part by the normalization of relations with the [[Eastern Bloc]] in the early 1970s.<ref name="eastgermany">{{cite web | title=Official Week in Review: September 21 – September 27, 1973 | url=https://www.officialgazette.gov.ph/1973/10/01/official-week-in-review-september-21-september-27-1973/ | work=[[Official Gazette (Philippines)|Official Gazette]] | date=October 1973 | access-date=November 12, 2021 | quote=THE PHILIPPINES and the German Democratic Republic (East Germany) established formal diplomatic relations it was announced by the Department of Foreign Affairs.

Another expansion of the country's diplomatic presence took place during the presidency of [[Gloria Macapagal Arroyo]], with 67 countries hosting Philippine diplomatic missions by the end of her presidency. This, however, was not without controversy: in 2010 Senator [[Franklin Drilon]] questioned the need for embassies in countries with small Filipino communities, calling for a review of the Philippines' diplomatic presence worldwide.<ref name="drilon">{{cite news | last=Ager | first=Maila |title=Review sought over number of RP embassies |url=http://globalnation.inquirer.net/news/breakingnews/view/20101020-298803/Review-sought-over-number-of-RP-embassies |newspaper=[[Philippine Daily Inquirer]] |publisher=Philippine Daily Inquirer, Inc. |date=October 20, 2010 |accessdate=December 4, 2022 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20101023054040/http://globalnation.inquirer.net/news/breakingnews/view/20101020-298803/Review-sought-over-number-of-RP-embassies |archivedate=October 23, 2010 }}</ref> Arroyo's successor, [[Benigno Aquino III]], then announced two years later the closure of ten posts (seven embassies and three consulates general): [[Caracas]], [[Venezuela]]; [[Koror]], [[Palau]]; [[Dublin]], [[Ireland]]; [[Stockholm]], [[Sweden]]; [[Bucharest]], [[Romania]]; [[Havana]], [[Cuba]]; [[Helsinki]], [[Finland]]; [[Barcelona]], [[Spain]]; [[Frankfurt]], [[Germany]] and [[Saipan]], [[Northern Mariana Islands]].<ref name="Closed2012">{{cite news |url=http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/story/272524/pinoyabroad/news/dfa-shuts-down-five-overseas-posts-with-five-more-to-close-this-year |title=DFA shuts down five overseas posts, with five more to close this year |publisher=GMA News |date=4 September 2012 |access-date=1 June 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160306221412/http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/story/272524/news/pinoyabroad/dfa-shuts-down-five-overseas-posts-with-five-more-to-close-this-year|archive-date=6 March 2016}}</ref> These closures have since been largely reversed under Aquino's successors, [[Rodrigo Duterte]] and [[Bongbong Marcos]], with the 2019 reopening of the consulate general in Frankfurt,<ref name="frankfurt">{{cite press release |title=PH opens Consulate General in Frankfurt |url=https://dfa.gov.ph/dfa-news/news-from-our-foreign-service-postsupdate/19126-ph-opens-consulate-general-in-frankfurt |publisher=[[Department of Foreign Affairs (Philippines)|Department of Foreign Affairs of the Philippines]] |date=18 January 2019}}</ref> the 2020 reopening of the consulate general in Barcelona,<ref name="barcelona">{{cite press release | title=Bagong Career Consulate General sa Barcelona simula ng March 2020 | trans-title=New Career Consulate General in Barcelona starting March 2020 | url=https://www.facebook.com/PHinBarcelona/posts/104243754538151 | lang=fil | publisher=Philippine Consulate General, Barcelona | date=March 2, 2021 | access-date=August 28, 2024}}</ref> and shortly thereafter the reopening of the embassy in Sweden.<ref name="PNAGovPH-SwedenEmbassy">{{cite news |last1=Rocamora |first1=Joyce Ann L. |title=PH reopens embassy in Sweden after 8 years |url=https://www.pna.gov.ph/articles/1103050 |access-date=1 June 2020 |publisher=Philippine News Agency |date=16 May 2020}}</ref> In 2024, the embassies in Cuba, Finland, Ireland and Romania are also set to reopen after funding to reopen them was approved by Congress.<ref name="funding">{{cite news | last=Tamayo | first=Bernadette E. | title=DFA to reopen 4 embassies as Senate okays P20.3B budget | url=https://www.manilatimes.net/2022/11/15/news/dfa-to-reopen-4-embassies-as-senate-okays-p203b-budget/1866510 | work=[[The Manila Times]] | date=November 15, 2022 | access-date=August 28, 2022}}</ref> Even missions closed years earlier were reopened, such as the 2018 reopening of the consulate general in Houston 25 years after it was last closed.<ref name="houston">{{cite news | title=PH Consulate General in Houston reopens after 25 years | url=https://www.pna.gov.ph/articles/1048734 | publisher=[[Philippine News Agency]] | date=September 21, 2018 | access-date=June 14, 2020}}</ref>

Aquino's successors have generally returned to an expansion of the Philippines' diplomatic presence abroad, including the opening of new missions where they did not exist previously.

[[File:Diplomatic missions of the Philippines.svg|thumb|450px|right|Countries hosting diplomatic missions of the Philippines]]

The '''[[Philippines|Republic of the Philippines]]''' has a network of [[diplomatic mission]]s in major cities around the world, under the purview of the [[Department of Foreign Affairs (Philippines)|Department of Foreign Affairs]] (DFA), to forward the country's interests in the areas that they serve, as well as to serve the ever-growing numbers of [[Overseas Filipinos]] and [[Overseas Filipino Worker]]s.

Although the Philippine diplomatic mission network is wide, there are embassies that are accredited to other nations without Philippine diplomatic posts. The network as of October 2024 consists of 66 embassies, 28 consulates-general, 4 permanent missions to international organizations, and the Manila Economic and Cultural Office (MECO) in Taipei, and its 2 extension offices.

Excluded from this listing are honorary consulates, branches of the [[Sentro Rizal]], overseas offices of the [[Department of Tourism (Philippines)|Department of Tourism]] and the [[Department of Migrant Workers (Philippines)|Department of Migrant Workers]], and trade missions (with the exception of MECO, which serves as the country's [[de facto embassy]] to [[Taiwan]]).

==History==
Although attempts at initial diplomatic relations were made during the [[Philippine Revolution]] and the time of the [[First Philippine Republic]], most nations have established diplomatic relations with the Philippines only in the years after the country achieved independence from the [[United States]] in 1946.

The first documented instance of a Philippine diplomatic mission being established abroad was that of the [[Embassy of the Philippines, Tokyo|embassy in Tokyo]], which was opened by the [[Second Philippine Republic]], a puppet state of the [[Empire of Japan]], on March 24, 1944, with [[Jorge B. Vargas]] as its first ambassador.<ref name="vargas">{{cite news | last=Ocampo | first=Ambeth R. | author-link=Ambeth Ocampo | title=Jorge Vargas as PH envoy to Japan during WWII | url=https://opinion.inquirer.net/92431/jorge-vargas-as-ph-envoy-to-japan-during-wwii | newspaper=[[Philippine Daily Inquirer]] | date=January 29, 2016 | accessdate=October 24, 2021}}</ref> However, the mission was summarily closed with Japan's defeat in [[World War II]], and as it was never recognized by the pre-war [[Commonwealth of the Philippines]],<ref name="closed">{{cite web | title=Letter of President Roxas to General MacArthur on sending a five-man Commission on Reparations | url=https://www.officialgazette.gov.ph/1947/01/06/letter-of-president-roxas-to-general-macarthur-on-sending-a-five-man-commission-on-reparations/ | work=[[Official Gazette (Philippines)|Official Gazette]] | date=January 6, 1947 | accessdate=October 24, 2021 | quote=Concerning quarters for the Philippine personnel for this Commission and others we may send in the future, will you kindly consider the possibility of housing them in the building formerly occupied by the Philippine Embassy and which has been purchased by the Puppet Republic?}}</ref> the oldest continually-operating Philippine diplomatic mission is that of the [[Embassy of the Philippines, Washington, D.C.|embassy in Washington, D.C.]], replacing the office of the [[Resident Commissioner of the Philippines]] after the country achieved independence from the United States on July 4, 1946,<ref name="closed"/> and led by [[Joaquín Miguel Elizalde]] as its first ambassador.<ref name="firstmissions">{{cite web | title=Appointments and Designations: July 1946 | url=https://www.officialgazette.gov.ph/1957/03/31/appointments-and-designations-march-31-1957/ | work=[[Official Gazette (Philippines)|Official Gazette]] | date=March 31, 1957 | accessdate=January 1, 2021}}</ref> This was followed shortly thereafter with the establishment of the permanent mission to the [[United Nations]].<ref name="firstmissions" />

A number of missions were opened in the first years after independence. In his 1947 [[State of the Nation Address (Philippines)|State of the Nation Address]] (SONA), President [[Manuel Roxas]] announced that missions in a number of other cities were also opened aside from the embassy in Washington, D.C.;<ref name="roxas-sona">{{cite web | title=State of the Nation Address of President Roxas, January 27, 1947 | url=https://www.officialgazette.gov.ph/1947/01/27/state-of-the-nation-address-of-president-roxas-january-27-1947/ | work=[[Official Gazette (Philippines)|Official Gazette]] | date=January 27, 1947 | accessdate=October 24, 2021 | quote=Consistent with our new status as a Republic, we have organized a Foreign Affairs Department and a Foreign Service, and established an embassy at Washington and consular offices in a number of places abroad.}}</ref> these included the first consulates general in [[New York City]], [[San Francisco]], and [[Honolulu]], as well as consulates in [[Xiamen]] and [[Hong Kong]].<ref name="reorg">{{cite web | title=Executive Order No. 94, s. 1947 | url=https://www.officialgazette.gov.ph/1947/10/04/executive-order-no-94-s-1947/ | work=[[Official Gazette (Philippines)|Official Gazette]] | date=October 4, 1947 | accessdate=October 24, 2021}}</ref> Additional missions were opened the following year, including the first missions in Europe (in [[London]], [[Madrid]] and [[Rome]]) and Latin America (in [[Buenos Aires]]).<ref name="specialmission">{{cite web | title=State-of-the-Nation Message of President Quirino to the Joint Session of the Congress of the Philippines | url=https://www.officialgazette.gov.ph/1949/01/24/state-of-the-nation-message-of-president-quirino-to-the-joint-session-of-the-congress-of-the-philippines/ | work=[[Official Gazette (Philippines)|Official Gazette]] | date=January 24, 1949 | accessdate=December 5, 2020 | quote=For our part, we have diplomatic establishments’ in eight nations and consular representatives in seventeen cities.

The '''Consulate General of the Philippines in Houston''' is a [[diplomatic mission]] of the [[Philippines|Republic of the Philippines]] in the [[United States]], representing the country's interests in [[Texas]]. It is located at the first floor of 9990 Richmond Avenue in the [[Westchase, Houston|Westchase]] neighborhood of west [[Houston]].

==History==
The current Philippine Consulate General in Houston was opened on September 24, 2018, 25 years after the first consulate was closed in September 1993.<ref name="reopening" /> That first consulate was closed ostensibly due to budget issues,<ref name="click" /> as well as the low number of Filipinos in the area at the time.<ref name="pressure" /> Closing the first consulate was ordered during the administration of President [[Corazon Aquino]], with holdover consuls heading the post until it was finally closed by her successor, [[Fidel V. Ramos]].<ref name="pacc" />

During the existence of the first consulate, Consul General [[Rodolfo Severino Jr.]] and other officers called on President [[Ferdinand Marcos]] to resign in the run-up to the [[People Power Revolution]] that would lead to his ouster.<ref name="revolt" /> After that consulate was closed, relations were conducted through an honorary consulate, led most recently by Ethel R. Mercado.<ref name="pacc" /> However, the city's rapidly-growing Filipino community continued to pressure for its reopening,<ref name="pressure" /> and in January 2018, Foreign Affairs Secretary [[Alan Peter Cayetano]] announced that the Consulate would reopen, alongside the future opening of three other missions.<ref name="reopen2" /> Philippine Ambassador to the United States [[Jose Manuel Romualdez]], writing in ''[[The Philippine Star]]'', particularly credited Senator [[Loren Legarda]] with pushing to allocate more funds for the opening of new Philippine diplomatic missions, including in Houston.<ref name="romualdez" />

The Consulate reopened out of a temporary space until finally moving to its permanent location, one floor below in the same building,<ref name="reopening" /> on March 21, 2019.<ref name="permanent" />

==Staff and activities==
The Philippine Consulate General in Houston is headed by Consul General Gunther Emil M. Sales, who assumed the position on July 30, 2024.<ref name="arrival" /> Prior to his current post, he served as Assistant Secretary for American Affairs at the [[Department of Foreign Affairs (Philippines)|Department of Foreign Affairs]] in Manila,<ref name="arrival" /> and before that was posted at the [[Embassy of the Philippines, Washington, D.C.|Philippine Embassy in Washington, D.C.]] as minister and consul.<ref name="gunther" /> There are also eleven other staffers deployed to the Consulate.<ref name="westchase" />

Currently, the consulate general's jurisdiction covers [[Texas]], [[Arkansas]], [[Louisiana]], [[Mississippi]], [[New Mexico]], and [[Oklahoma]], and also exercises jurisdiction over the honorary consulates in [[Dallas]] and [[New Orleans]], with former honorary consul Ethel R. Mercado being appointed to head the Dallas consulate.<ref name="romualdez2" /> Prior to its reopening the various states were under the jurisdiction of other missions: Texas and New Mexico were under the jurisdiction of the [[Philippine Consulate General, Los Angeles|Philippine Consulate General in Los Angeles]], which in partnership with local organizations conducted monthly outreach visits in Houston,<ref name="pacc" /> while Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Oklahoma were under the Philippine Consulate General in Chicago. Since its reopening, the consulate general has conducted outreach missions in major cities within its jurisdiction, including in [[Little Rock, Arkansas|Little Rock]],<ref name="littlerock" /> [[Albuquerque, New Mexico|Albuquerque]],<ref name="albuquerque" /> [[Jackson, Mississippi|Jackson]],<ref name="jackson" /> and [[Oklahoma City]],<ref name="oklahoma" /> as well as within Texas.<ref name="mcallen" />

== Misgendering of PBA athletes ==
{{User:ClueBot III/DoNotArchiveUntil|1735739654}}
Fiddling with athletes these days when I noticed that several players have been misgendered as male in talk pages and included in WikiProject Women's Sport (ex. [[Eddie Laure]], [[Robert Bolick]], [[Fritz Gaston]] and [[Carlo Sharma]]). Is this the work of an overlooked vandal or a bug? [[User:Borgenland|Borgenland]] ([[User talk:Borgenland|talk]]) 17:05, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

:It was by [[User:KiranBOT|KiranBOT]], a bot, so a bug.[[User:Hariboneagle927|Hariboneagle927]] ([[User talk:Hariboneagle927|talk]]) 01:10, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
::{{re|Hariboneagle927|Borgenland}} thank you for pointing out the mistakes. I was provided a [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Bot_requests&diff=prev&oldid=1228326043 list of around 4000 categories.] These categories were supposed to contain articles about only women. There might have been an oversight while creating the list itself, or some men's articles might have been added to the incorrect categories. Regarding Carlo Sharmam, and Robert Bolick which are from [[:Category:De La Salle Green Archers basketball players]] is for men's players, which seems to have been in the list. While [[Eddie Laure]] was assistant coach of the UST Golden Tigresses women's varsity basketball team, maybe thats why he is of interest for the women's wikiproject? [[:Fritz Gaston]] is in the [[:Category:Philippines women's national basketball team coaches]]. I am willing to rectify/make changes based on suggestions, but I think first we should look for the reason which caused these edits. Maybe {{ping|User:Hmlarson}} can help. —usernamekiran [[User talk:usernamekiran|(talk)]] 11:31, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
:::There had been men who had coached women's sports teams in the Philippines (and probably elsewhere).
:::Tip for categorization for college sports teams: In the USA, the women's teams almost always have the same team nicknames as the men's teams. For example, the women's basketball team of the [[University of North Carolina]] are also the "Tar Heels", just like the men (not "Lady Tar Heels"). There are a very few exceptions. In categorization, the way to distinguish is the word "men's or "women's" in the titles.
:::In the Philippines, the women's teams are named after the women's counterpart of the male nickname, which is always (no exception) the primary nickname. For example, the men's basketball team of the [[Far Eastern University]] are the "Tamaraws", while the women's team are the "Lady Tamaraws". It can be creative, like "Growling Tigers/Tigresses", but mostly the word "Lady" is added, like "Knights/Lady Knights". The 2 exceptions are [[Ateneo de Manila University]] and [[University of the Philippines Diliman]], which are like the US teams having the same nickname regardless of sex, so it's always "Blue Eagles" and "Fighting Maroons", respectively. For categorization, the women's teams usually have the word "Lady", while the men's teams do not.
:::There were a series of [[WP:RM]]s about this, and the latest just ended a few days ago. See [[Talk:University Athletic Association of the Philippines#College sports articles naming]]; there had been categories that had been renamed as a result.
:::While men can coach women, men can't play with women (not yet), and women don't play with men (no women are good as men yet to make a team), so the player categories can be straightforward for now.

I can reverse the changes to the articles from that list. I already have the program ready. —usernamekiran [[User talk:usernamekiran|(talk)]] 12:38, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

:I can only speak for projects involving the Philippines. For now there is certainly that Ateneo men’s, UP men’s and the 2 UAAP men’s are wrongly categorized. Will check the others later. [[User:Borgenland|Borgenland]] ([[User talk:Borgenland|talk]]) 12:41, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
:Jeez [[Category talk:UAAP men's basketball tournaments]] was tagged as women's sport when the category title itself mentions men. All Adamson, Ateneo, La Salle, FEU, NU, UE and UST categories were also wrongly tagged.
:Interestingly, the NCAA (Philippines) teams may not have been affected. I checked [[Category talk:Letran Knights basketball players]] and there were no women's sports project link.
:[[:Category:Kentucky State Thorobrettes basketball]] is a women's team; the men's team are the [[:Category:Kentucky State Thorobreds basketball]], an example of Philippine-style naming in the USA.
:The other categories seem to be sports teams and competitions from other countries and someone else should make a judgment on those. [[User:Howard the Duck|Howard the Duck]] ([[User talk:Howard the Duck|talk]]) 23:47, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

== 1901 in Samar and Batangas, pacification, and WP:SS ==

Today, I did a significant rearrangement of content in the [[March across Samar]] article. That article now has two focuses; the "March" described in the lead section and, separately, [[Jacob H. Smith|General Smith]]'s outrageous orders and their consequence. I put the latter into a ''Background'' section as that preceded the "March"' described in the lead. That ''Background'' stuff there is highlighted in {{section link|Philippine-American War|American atrocities}}. Also highlighted there are harsh actions ordered by [[J. Franklin Bell|General Bell]] in Batangas and their consequences. All of that was in the time period subsequent to Aguinaldo's <del>acceptance of</del> <ins>statement acknowledging and accepting</ins> U.S. sovereignty over the whole Philippines in April 1901. Smith and Bell were reacting to [[Vincente Lukban]] and [[Miguel Malvar]] continuing the fighting in Samar and Batangas subsequent to that <del>surrender.</del> <ins>statement</ins> It strikes me that these can be categorized as pacification actions (the [[Pacification]] disambig page has a category: ''A military, political, economic, and social process of establishing or reestablishing control by a government over a population impacted and divided by insurgency'').

('''update''') I have published the [[Pacification of Samar]] article. It consists mainly of content taken from {{section link|March across Samar|Background}} with a rewritten lead section, some rewrites in the body, and the addition of a number of cites. The ''External links'' section and the categories list were imported from that other article with no changes.

== Cityhood sections of some municipality articles ==

Is it appropriate for articles of some capital municipalities like [[Kalibo]] to have mentions of {{xt|the House Bills automatically coverting capital municipalities of city-less provinces}} in the cityhood sections? While it may seem OK at first, it may lean towards [[WP:OR]] and overuse of [[WP:PRIMARY]] sources. Also, there is no guarantee that those bills are going to be passed, due to continued vigilance of the [[League of Cities of the Philippines]] against lenient cityhood laws in a similar fasion as cityhood rules of many U.S. states, so it is ''not sustainable'' to have mentions of these cityhood house bills for city-less provinces in the articles of capital municipalities of city-less provinces, like Kalibo, [[Siquijor, Siquijor|Siquijor]], and [[Basco, Batanes|Basco]]. The mention to the said house bills is probably OK at the main cityhood article ([[Cities of the Philippines]]), but those mentions in the articles of 16 municipalities should be removed. Thoughts?

== Clarification on Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Philippines-related_articles#Provincial_name_convention ==

Hi, just wanted to clarify something about the provincial name convention guideline in [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Philippines-related articles#Provincial name convention]]. I've seen a few articles that have referred to the location of buildings, birthplaces, etc. both in the lead section or infobox in the format of <code>City, Philippines</code> or <code>City, Province, Philippines</code>. An example of this I've seen is <code>Quezon City, Philippines</code>.

Since the current guidelines don't clarify on this, when is it appropriate for a location to include <code>the Philippines</code> and when is it appropriate to just end at either the metropolitan area or province? (e.g. <code>San Juan, Metro Manila</code> instead of <code>San Juan, Metro Manila, the Philippines</code>) Also, should it be <code>Philippines</code> or <code>the Philippines</code>?

== Misgendering of PBA athletes ==
{{User:ClueBot III/DoNotArchiveUntil|1735739654}}
Fiddling with athletes these days when I noticed that several players have been misgendered as male in talk pages and included in WikiProject Women's Sport (ex. [[Eddie Laure]], [[Robert Bolick]], [[Fritz Gaston]] and [[Carlo Sharma]]). Is this the work of an overlooked vandal or a bug? [[User:Borgenland|Borgenland]] ([[User talk:Borgenland|talk]]) 17:05, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

:It was by [[User:KiranBOT|KiranBOT]], a bot, so a bug.[[User:Hariboneagle927|Hariboneagle927]] ([[User talk:Hariboneagle927|talk]]) 01:10, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
::{{re|Hariboneagle927|Borgenland}} thank you for pointing out the mistakes. I was provided a [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Bot_requests&diff=prev&oldid=1228326043 list of around 4000 categories.] These categories were supposed to contain articles about only women. There might have been an oversight while creating the list itself, or some men's articles might have been added to the incorrect categories. Regarding Carlo Sharmam, and Robert Bolick which are from [[:Category:De La Salle Green Archers basketball players]] is for men's players, which seems to have been in the list. While [[Eddie Laure]] was assistant coach of the UST Golden Tigresses women's varsity basketball team, maybe thats why he is of interest for the women's wikiproject? [[:Fritz Gaston]] is in the [[:Category:Philippines women's national basketball team coaches]]. I am willing to rectify/make changes based on suggestions, but I think first we should look for the reason which caused these edits. Maybe {{ping|User:Hmlarson}} can help. —usernamekiran [[User talk:usernamekiran|(talk)]] 11:31, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
:::There had been men who had coached women's sports teams in the Philippines (and probably elsewhere).
:::Tip for categorization for college sports teams: In the USA, the women's teams almost always have the same team nicknames as the men's teams. For example, the women's basketball team of the [[University of North Carolina]] are also the "Tar Heels", just like the men (not "Lady Tar Heels"). There are a very few exceptions. In categorization, the way to distinguish is the word "men's or "women's" in the titles.
:::In the Philippines, the women's teams are named after the women's counterpart of the male nickname, which is always (no exception) the primary nickname. For example, the men's basketball team of the [[Far Eastern University]] are the "Tamaraws", while the women's team are the "Lady Tamaraws". It can be creative, like "Growling Tigers/Tigresses", but mostly the word "Lady" is added, like "Knights/Lady Knights". The 2 exceptions are [[Ateneo de Manila University]] and [[University of the Philippines Diliman]], which are like the US teams having the same nickname regardless of sex, so it's always "Blue Eagles" and "Fighting Maroons", respectively. For categorization, the women's teams usually have the word "Lady", while the men's teams do not.
:::There were a series of [[WP:RM]]s about this, and the latest just ended a few days ago. See [[Talk:University Athletic Association of the Philippines#College sports articles naming]]; there had been categories that had been renamed as a result.
:::While men can coach women, men can't play with women (not yet), and women don't play with men (no women are good as men yet to make a team), so the player categories can be straightforward for now.

== 1901 in Samar and Batangas, pacification, and WP:SS ==

Today, I did a significant rearrangement of content in the [[March across Samar]] article. That article now has two focuses; the "March" described in the lead section and, separately, [[Jacob H. Smith|General Smith]]'s outrageous orders and their consequence. I put the latter into a ''Background'' section as that preceded the "March"' described in the lead. That ''Background'' stuff there is highlighted in {{section link|Philippine-American War|American atrocities}}. Also highlighted there are harsh actions ordered by [[J. Franklin Bell|General Bell]] in Batangas and their consequences. All of that was in the time period subsequent to Aguinaldo's <del>acceptance of</del> <ins>statement acknowledging and accepting</ins> U.S. sovereignty over the whole Philippines in April 1901. Smith and Bell were reacting to [[Vincente Lukban]] and [[Miguel Malvar]] continuing the fighting in Samar and Batangas subsequent to that <del>surrender.</del> <ins>statement</ins> It strikes me that these can be categorized as pacification actions (the [[Pacification]] disambig page has a category: ''A military, political, economic, and social process of establishing or reestablishing control by a government over a population impacted and divided by insurgency''). I'm thinking of creating [[Pacification of Samar]] amd [[Pacification of Batangas]] as [[WP:SS]] detail articles for those topics, and thought I would mention that here. I would be intrested in comments or discussion.

('''update''') I have published the [[Pacification of Samar]] article. It consists mainly of content taken from {{section link|March across Samar|Background}} with a rewritten lead section, some rewrites in the body, and the addition of a number of cites. The ''External links'' section and the categories list were imported from that other article with no changes. My intentions are to review that other article after a waiting period for reactions to this article's publication, probably rewriting the lead and removing the ''Background'' section after a waiting period.

The [[Philippines]]' area of 300,000 sqkm has been changed several times by a user, who claims it is larger.

== Cityhood sections of some municipality articles ==

Is it appropriate for articles of some capital municipalities like [[Kalibo]] to have mentions of {{xt|the House Bills automatically coverting capital municipalities of city-less provinces}} in the cityhood sections? While it may seem OK at first, it may lean towards [[WP:OR]] and overuse of [[WP:PRIMARY]] sources. Also, there is no guarantee that those bills are going to be passed, due to continued vigilance of the [[League of Cities of the Philippines]] against lenient cityhood laws in a similar fasion as cityhood rules of many U.S. states, so it is ''not sustainable'' to have mentions of these cityhood house bills for city-less provinces in the articles of capital municipalities of city-less provinces, like Kalibo, [[Siquijor, Siquijor|Siquijor]], and [[Basco, Batanes|Basco]]. The mention to the said house bills is probably OK at the main cityhood article ([[Cities of the Philippines]]), but those mentions in the articles of 16 municipalities should be removed. Thoughts?

== Islam in the Philippines ==

Recently, I noticed some misinformation regarding an article in religion in the Philippines. Particularly the [[Islam in the Philippines]] statistics in the introduction. One anonymous user changed statistics cited from the PSA. For instance, from the official number of 6,981,710, the user changed the number up to 15,231,564. I thought at first that the anonynous user was editing based from the cited sources in the article, but looking into the [https://psa.gov.ph/content/religious-affiliation-philippines-2020-census-population-and-housing PSA site] cited, the official number is more than 6 million.

I'm not sure regarding the anonymous user's other edits (September 22, 2024) as it seemed to be unsourced. I also noticed that this [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/2406:2D40:92C0:3810:4A5:9BD2:99F0:43E user's edits were reverted in some Philippine-related articles] including the [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Manila&diff=prev&oldid=1248435462 Manila article].

== Clarification on Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Philippines-related_articles#Provincial_name_convention ==

Hi, just wanted to clarify something about the provincial name convention guideline in [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Philippines-related articles#Provincial name convention]]. I've seen a few articles that have referred to the location of buildings, birthplaces, etc. both in the lead section or infobox in the format of <code>City, Philippines</code> or <code>City, Province, Philippines</code>. An example of this I've seen is <code>Quezon City, Philippines</code>.

Since the current guidelines don't clarify on this, when is it appropriate for a location to include <code>the Philippines</code> and when is it appropriate to just end at either the metropolitan area or province? (e.g. <code>San Juan, Metro Manila</code> instead of <code>San Juan, Metro Manila, the Philippines</code>) Also, should it be <code>Philippines</code> or <code>the Philippines</code>?

::::::That said, I will say that my point here with birth and death places is specific to infoboxes. It appears to be generally accepted practice to always include the principal subdivision and the country, and so I expect that in that use case this would be an exception. When we first discussed [[MOS:PHIL]]'s treatment of provinces I was under the impression that this covered prose only, not infoboxes, so I'm surprised that today there is this idea that the guideline also covers infoboxes when this was not the original intention of the guideline. --[[User:Sky Harbor|Sky Harbor]] ([[User talk:Sky Harbor|talk]]) 03:43, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

:I'd recommend on using "Cityormunicipalityname, Provincename" for component cities and municipalities, while HUCs and ICCs just get "Cityname", except [[Naga, Camarines Sur]] and [[Santiago, Isabela]].

The '''Embassy of the Philippines in Bogotá''' is the [[diplomatic mission]] of the [[Philippines|Republic of the Philippines]] to the [[Colombia|Republic of Colombia]]. Scheduled to fully open in 2024, it is currently located in the ''barrio'' (neighborhood) of [[El Chicó]], part of the locality of [[Chapinero]] in northern [[Bogotá]].

==History==
Although the Philippines and Colombia established diplomatic relations in 1946,<ref name="open" /> and Colombia would open a resident mission in [[Manila]] in 2017,<ref name="enamorado" /> relations between the two countries have historically been conducted through missions in other countries, with Colombia most recently being under the jurisdiction of the Philippine Embassy in [[Brasília]].<ref name="bombing" />

The Philippines began to consider opening a resident mission in Colombia in late 2018, shortly after the opening of the Colombian Embassy in Manila.<ref name="consult" /> On February 18, 2019, during the opening of the new chancery of the [[Embassy of the Philippines, Berlin|Philippine Embassy in Berlin]], Secretary [[Teodoro Locsin Jr.]] of the [[Department of Foreign Affairs (Philippines)|Department of Foreign Affairs]] (DFA) announced that an embassy in Colombia was one of the missions the DFA was planning to open within the next five years,<ref name="berlin" /> a possibility that Colombian Ambassador to the Philippines Víctor Echiverri hinted to shortly afterward.<ref name="enamorado" />

In 2023, the Colombian Embassy in Manila announced during a meeting with the Colombian community in the Philippines that a Philippine embassy was set to open the following year,<ref name="comunidad" /> and during the sixth bilateral consultation meeting between the two countries on August 14, 2024, the DFA confirmed that a team had already been sent to Bogotá to prepare for the mission's opening.<ref name="rojas" /> At the meeting, Foreign Affairs Undersecretary Ma. Theresa P. Lazaro remarked that the Embassy's opening is a "clear signal of the Philippines’ commitment to enhance relations with [[Latin America]]", becoming the second [[Southeast Asia|Southeast Asian country]] after [[Indonesia]] to have a [[Embassy of Indonesia, Bogotá|resident diplomatic mission]] in Colombia.<ref name="bcm" />

The advance team setting up the Embassy announced that they had arrived in Bogotá on August 25, 2024, and are preparing to immediately begin offering consular services once the mission has completed all the required procedures for opening.<ref name="opening" /> Consular services will begin to be offered on October 7, 2024.<ref name="services" />

==Chancery==
The [[chancery (diplomacy)|chancery]] of the Philippine Embassy was initially located in a room of the NH Collection Bogotá, an [[NH Hotel Group]]-affiliated hotel attached to the World Trade Center Bogotá on Calle 100 and Carrera 8 in the northern end of El Chicó.<ref name="officead" /> It secured a temporary office space shortly thereafter at La Noventa, an office building located further south in the same neighborhood at the corner of Calle 90 and Carrera 11.<ref name="shirts" />

==Staff and activities==
The Philippine Embassy in Bogotá is set to be headed by Ambassador Adrian Bernie C. Candolada, who was appointed to the position by President [[Bongbong Marcos]] on June 25, 2024.<ref name="appointed" /> Prior to becoming Ambassador, Candolada, a career diplomat, served as Consul General at the [[Embassy of the Philippines, Singapore|Philippine Embassy in Singapore]], where he was also the mission's second-in-command.<ref name="singapore" /> His appointment was confirmed by the [[Commission on Appointments]] on August 7, 2024.<ref name="confirmed" />

Aside from Colombia, the Embassy has been designated to exercise jurisdiction over [[Ecuador]] and [[Venezuela]].<ref name="appointed" />

The '''Embassy of the Philippines in Bogotá''' is the [[diplomatic mission]] of the [[Philippines|Republic of the Philippines]] to the [[Colombia|Republic of Colombia]]. Scheduled to fully open in 2024, it is currently located in the ''barrio'' (neighborhood) of [[El Chicó]], part of the locality of [[Chapinero]] in northern [[Bogotá]].

==History==
Although the Philippines and Colombia established diplomatic relations in 1946,<ref name="open" /> and Colombia would open a resident mission in [[Manila]] in 2017,<ref name="enamorado" /> relations between the two countries have historically been conducted through missions in other countries, with Colombia most recently being under the jurisdiction of the Philippine Embassy in [[Brasília]].<ref name="bombing" />

The Philippines began to consider opening a resident mission in Colombia in late 2018, shortly after the opening of the Colombian Embassy in Manila.<ref name="consult" /> On February 18, 2019, during the opening of the new chancery of the [[Embassy of the Philippines, Berlin|Philippine Embassy in Berlin]], Secretary [[Teodoro Locsin Jr.]] of the [[Department of Foreign Affairs (Philippines)|Department of Foreign Affairs]] (DFA) announced that an embassy in Colombia was one of the missions the DFA was planning to open within the next five years,<ref name="berlin" /> a possibility that Colombian Ambassador to the Philippines Víctor Echiverri hinted to shortly afterward.<ref name="enamorado" />

In 2023, the Colombian Embassy in Manila announced during a meeting with the Colombian community in the Philippines that a Philippine embassy was set to open the following year,<ref name="comunidad" /> and during the sixth bilateral consultation meeting between the two countries on August 14, 2024, the DFA confirmed that a team had already been sent to Bogotá to prepare for the mission's opening.<ref name="rojas" /> At the meeting, Foreign Affairs Undersecretary Ma. Theresa P. Lazaro remarked that the Embassy's opening is a "clear signal of the Philippines’ commitment to enhance relations with [[Latin America]]", becoming the second [[Southeast Asia|Southeast Asian country]] after [[Indonesia]] to have a [[Embassy of Indonesia, Bogotá|resident diplomatic mission]] in Colombia.<ref name="bcm" />

The advance team setting up the Embassy announced that they had arrived in Bogotá on August 25, 2024, and are preparing to immediately begin offering consular services once the mission has completed all the required procedures for opening.<ref name="opening" /> Consular services will begin to be offered on October 7, 2024.<ref name="services" />

==Chancery==
The [[chancery (diplomacy)|chancery]] of the Philippine Embassy was initially located in a room of the NH Collection Bogotá, a hotel attached to the World Trade Center Bogotá on Calle 100 and Carrera 8 in the northern end of El Chicó.<ref name="officead" /> It secured a temporary office space shortly thereafter at La Noventa, an office building located further south in the same neighborhood at the corner of Calle 90 and Carrera 11.<ref name="shirts" />

==Staff and activities==
The Philippine Embassy in Bogotá is set to be headed by Ambassador Adrian Bernie C. Candolada, who was appointed to the position by President [[Bongbong Marcos]] on June 25, 2024.<ref name="appointed" /> Prior to becoming Ambassador, Candolada, a career diplomat, served as Consul General at the [[Embassy of the Philippines, Singapore|Philippine Embassy in Singapore]], where he was also the mission's second-in-command.<ref name="singapore" /> His appointment was confirmed by the [[Commission on Appointments]] on August 7, 2024.<ref name="confirmed" />

Aside from Colombia, the Embassy has been designated to exercise jurisdiction over [[Ecuador]] and [[Venezuela]].<ref name="appointed" />

'''Manuel Vicente Moran y Palisoc''' (October 27, 1893 – August 23, 1961), more commonly known as '''Manuel V. Moran''', was the [[Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the Philippines]] from July 9, 1945, until March 20, 1951.

==Career==
Moran graduated from his Bachelor of Laws degree at Escuela de Manila and was admitted to the bar in 1913.

He started out as an auxiliary judge of Iloilo and Pampanga before being promoted as a full judge, and later, an Associate Justice of the Court of Appeals. He was appointed as Supreme Court Associate Justice in 1938 then elevated to the post as Chief Justice in July 1945.<ref>{{cite book|first1=Isagani A.|last1=Cruz|first2=Cynthia|last2=Cruz-Datu|year=2000|title=Res Gestae: A Brief History of the Supreme Court|publisher=Rex Book Store|location=Manila}}</ref>

After leaving office, he became the first Philippine Ambassador to [[Spain]] and the [[Holy See]]. Hoping to be appointed again to the Supreme Court, he was extended an ad interim appointment of outgoing president [[Elpidio Quirino]] in 1953, but Moran backed out, for he felt that President-elect [[Ramon Magsaysay]] would fill such vacancy. His reinstatement never materialized.

The '''Embassy of the Philippines in Helsinki''' is the [[diplomatic mission]] of the [[Philippines|Republic of the Philippines]] to the [[Finland|Republic of Finland]]. It is located on [[Mannerheimintie]] in the [[Kamppi]] neighborhood of central [[Helsinki]], beside the [[Hotel Marski]] and across from the flagship [[Stockmann, Helsinki centre|Stockmann]] department store.

Although the current embassy dates from 2024, the Philippines also maintained a previous resident embassy in Finland between 2009 and 2012.

==History==
Diplomatic relations between the Philippines and Finland were established on July 14, 1955, although a resident mission would not open until much later. Relations were initially conducted through the [[Embassy of the Philippines, London|Philippine Embassy in London]], with President [[Ramon Magsaysay]] appointing [[León María Guerrero III]] as non-resident ambassador to Finland.<ref name="history" /> Jurisdiction over Finland would later pass between various missions in Europe, including the embassies in [[Embassy of the Philippines, Berlin|Bonn]], [[Embassy of the Philippines, Moscow|Moscow]], and [[Embassy of the Philippines, Stockholm|Stockholm]].<ref name="history" />

Deepening relations, especially economic ties,<ref name="closer" /> between the Philippines and Finland would lead to the opening of the Embassy on November 2, 2009, during the presidency of [[Gloria Macapagal Arroyo]],<ref name="history" /> alongside resident missions also opening that year in Ireland, Poland, and Portugal.<ref name="embassies" /> It would take over responsibility for conducting relations with Finland from the Philippine Embassy in Stockholm ten days later,<ref name="oldembassy" /> and consular services would later be offered starting on April 12, 2010, with the opening of the Embassy's consular section.<ref name="history" />

Expansion of the Philippines' diplomatic presence abroad during the Arroyo presidency was not without controversy: in 2010, Senator [[Franklin Drilon]] questioned the need for embassies in countries with small Filipino communities, including a number of countries in Europe, and called for a review of the Philippines' diplomatic presence worldwide.<ref name="drilon" /> This would lead to the closure of ten posts under Arroyo's successor, [[Benigno Aquino III]], and ultimately to the closure of the embassies in Finland and Sweden on October 31, 2012,<ref name="closures" /> with both countries being placed under the jurisdiction of the [[Embassy of the Philippines, Oslo|Philippine Embassy in Oslo]],<ref name="oslo" /> and services in Finland provided through an honorary consulate in Helsinki.<ref name="honoraryconsulate" /> Finland was then later placed under the jurisdiction of the reopened Philippine Embassy in Stockholm on May 15, 2020,<ref name="reopen-rappler" /> and a second honorary consulate, replacing the first one, opened in [[Espoo]] two months later on July 16, 2020.<ref name="honoraryconsulate2" />

On November 15, 2022, during budget deliberations for the [[Department of Foreign Affairs (Philippines)|Department of Foreign Affairs]] (DFA), Senator [[Loren Legarda]] announced that the Embassy was one of four missions that would reopen in 2024.<ref name="reopen" /> Spurred in part by the reopening of the Finnish Embassy in [[Manila]] in 2020,<ref name="thankyou" /> this was reaffirmed by Vice President [[Sara Duterte]] in October 2023,<ref name="sara" /> and some time thereafter the DFA itself confirmed that it was undertaking final preparations for the reopening of a resident Philippine mission in Finland in 2024.<ref name="newembassy" />

The advance team setting up the Embassy announced that they had arrived in Helsinki on September 24, 2024, and are preparing to immediately begin offering consular services once the mission has completed all the required procedures for opening.<ref name="opening" /> It formally opened nearly two weeks later on October 4, 2024.<ref name="nowopen" />

==Chancery==
The [[chancery (diplomacy)|chancery]] of the Philippine Embassy in Helsinki was first located on [[Keskuskatu]] 1b in the neighboring [[Kluuvi]] neighborhood, behind the Stockmann department store.<ref name="locationmap" /> With the Embassy's reopening, it set up a new chancery nearby on Mannerheimintie.<ref name="representation" />

==Staff and activities==
The Philippine Embassy in Helsinki was headed by Ambassador Maria Angelina M. Sta. Catalina, the Philippines' first (and so far, only) resident ambassador to Finland. A career diplomat who was appointed to the position by President Arroyo, she previously served as Consul General at the Philippine Embassy in [[Brussels]].<ref name="ambassador" /> Her appointment was confirmed by the [[Commission on Appointments]] (CA) on May 20, 2009,<ref name="confirmed-old" /> and she presented her credentials to Finnish President [[Tarja Halonen]] on November 12, 2009.<ref name="history" />

With the Embassy's impending reopening it is set to be headed by a new ambassador, Domingo P. Nolasco, who was appointed to the position by President [[Bongbong Marcos]] on June 25, 2024.<ref name="appointed" /> Prior to becoming Ambassador, Nolasco, a career diplomat, served as the DFA's Assistant Secretary for Financial Management Services,<ref name="fund" /> and before that served at the [[Embassy of the Philippines, Rome|Philippine Embassy in Rome]] as ambassador to [[Italy]].<ref name="rome" /> His appointment was confirmed by the CA on August 7, 2024.<ref name="confirmed" />

[[File:Diplomatic missions of the Philippines.svg|thumb|450px|right|Countries hosting diplomatic missions of the Philippines]]

The '''[[Philippines|Republic of the Philippines]]''' has a network of [[diplomatic mission]]s in major cities around the world, under the purview of the [[Department of Foreign Affairs (Philippines)|Department of Foreign Affairs]] (DFA), to forward the country's interests in the areas that they serve, as well as to serve the ever-growing numbers of [[Overseas Filipinos]] and [[Overseas Filipino Worker]]s.

Although the Philippine diplomatic mission network is wide, there are embassies that are accredited to other nations without Philippine diplomatic posts. The network as of October 2024 consists of 66 embassies, 28 consulates-general, 4 permanent missions to international organizations, and the Manila Economic and Cultural Office (MECO) in Taipei, and its 2 extension offices.

Excluded from this listing are honorary consulates, branches of the [[Sentro Rizal]], overseas offices of the [[Department of Tourism (Philippines)|Department of Tourism]] and the [[Department of Migrant Workers (Philippines)|Department of Migrant Workers]], and trade missions (with the exception of MECO, which serves as the country's [[de facto embassy]] to [[Taiwan]]).

==History==
Although attempts at initial diplomatic relations were made during the [[Philippine Revolution]] and the time of the [[First Philippine Republic]], most nations have established diplomatic relations with the Philippines only in the years after the country achieved independence from the [[United States]] in 1946.

The first documented instance of a Philippine diplomatic mission being established abroad was that of the [[Embassy of the Philippines, Tokyo|embassy in Tokyo]], which was opened by the [[Second Philippine Republic]], a puppet state of the [[Empire of Japan]], on March 24, 1944, with [[Jorge B. Vargas]] as its first ambassador.<ref name="vargas">{{cite news | last=Ocampo | first=Ambeth R. | author-link=Ambeth Ocampo | title=Jorge Vargas as PH envoy to Japan during WWII | url=https://opinion.inquirer.net/92431/jorge-vargas-as-ph-envoy-to-japan-during-wwii | newspaper=[[Philippine Daily Inquirer]] | date=January 29, 2016 | accessdate=October 24, 2021}}</ref> However, the mission was summarily closed with Japan's defeat in [[World War II]], and as it was never recognized by the pre-war [[Commonwealth of the Philippines]],<ref name="closed">{{cite web | title=Letter of President Roxas to General MacArthur on sending a five-man Commission on Reparations | url=https://www.officialgazette.gov.ph/1947/01/06/letter-of-president-roxas-to-general-macarthur-on-sending-a-five-man-commission-on-reparations/ | work=[[Official Gazette (Philippines)|Official Gazette]] | date=January 6, 1947 | accessdate=October 24, 2021 | quote=Concerning quarters for the Philippine personnel for this Commission and others we may send in the future, will you kindly consider the possibility of housing them in the building formerly occupied by the Philippine Embassy and which has been purchased by the Puppet Republic?}}</ref> the oldest continually-operating Philippine diplomatic mission is that of the [[Embassy of the Philippines, Washington, D.C.|embassy in Washington, D.C.]], replacing the office of the [[Resident Commissioner of the Philippines]] after the country achieved independence from the United States on July 4, 1946,<ref name="closed"/> and led by [[Joaquín Miguel Elizalde]] as its first ambassador.<ref name="firstmissions">{{cite web | title=Appointments and Designations: July 1946 | url=https://www.officialgazette.gov.ph/1957/03/31/appointments-and-designations-march-31-1957/ | work=[[Official Gazette (Philippines)|Official Gazette]] | date=March 31, 1957 | accessdate=January 1, 2021}}</ref> This was followed shortly thereafter with the establishment of the permanent mission to the [[United Nations]].<ref name="firstmissions" />

A number of missions were opened in the first years after independence. In his 1947 [[State of the Nation Address (Philippines)|State of the Nation Address]] (SONA), President [[Manuel Roxas]] announced that missions in a number of other cities were also opened aside from the embassy in Washington, D.C.;<ref name="roxas-sona">{{cite web | title=State of the Nation Address of President Roxas, January 27, 1947 | url=https://www.officialgazette.gov.ph/1947/01/27/state-of-the-nation-address-of-president-roxas-january-27-1947/ | work=[[Official Gazette (Philippines)|Official Gazette]] | date=January 27, 1947 | accessdate=October 24, 2021 | quote=Consistent with our new status as a Republic, we have organized a Foreign Affairs Department and a Foreign Service, and established an embassy at Washington and consular offices in a number of places abroad.}}</ref> these included the first consulates general in [[New York City]], [[San Francisco]], and [[Honolulu]], as well as consulates in [[Xiamen]] and [[Hong Kong]].<ref name="reorg">{{cite web | title=Executive Order No. 94, s. 1947 | url=https://www.officialgazette.gov.ph/1947/10/04/executive-order-no-94-s-1947/ | work=[[Official Gazette (Philippines)|Official Gazette]] | date=October 4, 1947 | accessdate=October 24, 2021}}</ref> Additional missions were opened the following year, including the first missions in Europe (in [[London]], [[Madrid]] and [[Rome]]) and Latin America (in [[Buenos Aires]]).<ref name="specialmission">{{cite web | title=State-of-the-Nation Message of President Quirino to the Joint Session of the Congress of the Philippines | url=https://www.officialgazette.gov.ph/1949/01/24/state-of-the-nation-message-of-president-quirino-to-the-joint-session-of-the-congress-of-the-philippines/ | work=[[Official Gazette (Philippines)|Official Gazette]] | date=January 24, 1949 | accessdate=December 5, 2020 | quote=For our part, we have diplomatic establishments’ in eight nations and consular representatives in seventeen cities.

The Philippines' diplomatic presence grew significantly during the presidency of [[Ferdinand Marcos]], spurred in part by the normalization of relations with the [[Eastern Bloc]] in the early 1970s.<ref name="eastgermany">{{cite web | title=Official Week in Review: September 21 – September 27, 1973 | url=https://www.officialgazette.gov.ph/1973/10/01/official-week-in-review-september-21-september-27-1973/ | work=[[Official Gazette (Philippines)|Official Gazette]] | date=October 1973 | access-date=November 12, 2021 | quote=THE PHILIPPINES and the German Democratic Republic (East Germany) established formal diplomatic relations it was announced by the Department of Foreign Affairs.

Another expansion of the country's diplomatic presence took place during the presidency of [[Gloria Macapagal Arroyo]], with 67 countries hosting Philippine diplomatic missions by the end of her presidency.

The '''Embassy of the Philippines in Oslo''' is the [[diplomatic mission]] of the [[Philippines|Republic of the Philippines]] to the [[Norway|Kingdom of Norway]], opened in 2007. It is located at Nedre Vollgate 8 in central [[Oslo]], near [[Kontraskjæret]] and the [[Akershus Fortress]].

==History==
The Philippines did not initially open a resident mission in Norway when diplomatic relations between the two countries were established on March 2, 1948. Relations were conducted through the [[Embassy of the Philippines, London|Philippine Embassy in London]] until June 1986, when jurisdiction over Norway was transferred to the then-newly opened [[Embassy of the Philippines, Stockholm|Philippine Embassy in Stockholm]].<ref name="history" />

Although Norway had maintained a resident mission in the Philippines since 1967, when it opened its embassy in Manila, the Philippines would not open a resident embassy in Oslo until much later.<ref name="history" /> The Philippine Embassy in Oslo would formally open on April 30, 2007 – at the time, the country's 86th mission abroad – with Victoria S. Bataclan becoming the country's first resident ambassador to Norway.<ref name="opening" /> In addition to Norway, the embassy also assumed jurisdiction over [[Denmark]], which had also been under the jurisdiction of the Stockholm mission, and [[Iceland]].

After a massive expansion of the Philippines' diplomatic presence abroad during the presidency of [[Gloria Macapagal Arroyo]], of which the embassy's opening was a part, in 2010 Senator [[Franklin Drilon]] questioned the need for embassies in countries with small Filipino communities, including several countries in Europe, and called for a review of the Philippines' diplomatic presence worldwide.<ref name="drilon" /> This would lead to the closure of ten posts under Arroyo's successor, [[Benigno Aquino III]], and ultimately to the closure of the embassies in Stockholm and [[Embassy of the Philippines, Helsinki|Helsinki]] on October 31, 2012.<ref name="closures" /> At the time, the Stockholm mission exercised jurisdiction over [[Estonia]], [[Latvia]] and [[Lithuania]], which were subsequently transferred to the [[Embassy of the Philippines, Warsaw|Philippine Embassy in Warsaw]].<ref name="baltics" /> Sweden proper was subsequently placed under the jurisdiction of the Oslo mission, which conducted monthly consular outreach visits,<ref name="fiesta" /> along with Finland. With the closures, the embassy's jurisdiction covered all the Nordic states.<ref name="nordic" />

The closures were reversed under Aquino's successor, [[Rodrigo Duterte]], with the Philippine government opening the [[Embassy of the Philippines, Copenhagen|Philippine Embassy in Copenhagen]] on January 14, 2019.<ref name="copenhagen" /> Later that year, the Philippine government had begun considering reopening a resident mission in Sweden owing to deepening relations between the two countries,<ref name="consider" /> and Foreign Affairs Secretary [[Teodoro Locsin Jr.]] announced that the Stockholm mission would reopen as part of the Duterte administration's push to expand the country's international presence.<ref name="locsin" /> After a landing team arrived to set up the new embassy, the Philippine Embassy in Stockholm was reopened to the public on May 15, 2020, which at the time also assumed jurisdiction over Finland.<ref name="reopen-rappler" /> A separate Philippine Embassy in Helsinki, meanwhile, reopened on October 4, 2024.<ref name="helsinki" />

==Chancery==
The [[chancery (diplomacy)|chancery]] of the Philippine Embassy in Oslo was initially located in a room on the 11th floor of the [[Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel, Oslo|Radisson SAS Plaza Hotel]].<ref name="opening" /> On August 6, 2007, the first permanent chancery on Nedre Vollgate 4 was inaugurated by Ambassador Bataclan, with other Embassy officials and members of the [[Filipinos in Norway|Filipino community in Norway]] in attendance.<ref name="nedrevollgate4" /> Notably, on June 25, 2015 the chancery had to be evacuated after a gas leak triggered a fire alarm.<ref name="firealarm" />

On March 1, 2023, the Embassy moved to a new chancery next door on the fourth floor of Nedre Vollgate 8.<ref name="nedrevollgate8" /> It was formally inaugurated on April 21, 2023 by Foreign Affairs Undersecretary Ma. Theresa P. Lazaro, with Philippine and Norwegian officials and the local community in attendance.<ref name="newchancery" />

==Staff and activities==
The Philippine Embassy in Oslo is currently headed by Ambassador Enrico T. Fos, who was appointed to the position by President Duterte on July 27, 2021.<ref name="appointed" /> Prior to becoming Ambassador, Fos, a distinguished career diplomat who was conferred the [[Gawad Mabini]] twice,<ref name="gawadmabini" /><ref name="gawadmabini2" /> had most recently served as Assistant Secretary for Migrant Workers' Affairs.<ref name="ofw" /> His appointment was confirmed by the [[Commission on Appointments]] on September 1, 2021,<ref name="confirmed" /> and he presented his credentials to King [[Harald V of Norway|Harald V]] on December 2, 2021.<ref name="credentials" />

With the Embassy's opening spurred by growing diplomatic and trade relations between the two countries, as well as the growing number of Filipinos in Norway,<ref name="opening" /> many of the Embassy's activities involve those areas. Economically, these include encouraging imports of Philippine coffee in Norway along with similar efforts in other Scandinavian countries,<ref name="coffee" /> and promoting opportunities for Norwegian companies to help develop the Philippines' [[renewable energy]] and [[Business process outsourcing in the Philippines|business process outsourcing]] industries,<ref name="renewables" /> while diplomatically, the Embassy serves as an important post for members of the [[Communist Party of the Philippines]] and its affiliated organizations, as Norway helps facilitate talks between the two sides and CPP leaders are required to register with the mission.<ref name="register" /> Meanwhile, the Embassy has also been involved in activities to promote cultural exchanges between the Philippines and Norway, such as hosting a five-course dinner and cooking course for invited guests.<ref name="cooking" />

The Embassy is also involved in activities beyond Oslo. It maintains honorary consulates in [[Stavanger]] and [[Reykjavík]],<ref name="consulates" /> hosts regular consular outreach activities in territories under its jurisdiction,<ref name="svalbard" /><ref name="iceland" /> and in the Philippines, the Embassy also periodically warns against spurious job opportunities in Norway,<ref name="offers" /> including those spread through unlicensed Norwegian language schools.<ref name="languageschool" />

On March 1, 2023, the Embassy moved to a new chancery next door on the fourth floor of Nedre Vollgate 8.<ref name="nedrevollgate8" /> It was formally inaugurated on April 21, 2023 by Foreign Affairs Undersecretary Ma. Theresa P. Lazaro, with Philippine and Norwegian officials and the local community in attendance.<ref name="newchancery" />

==Staff and activities==
The Philippine Embassy in Oslo is currently headed by Ambassador Enrico T. Fos, who was appointed to the position by President Duterte on July 27, 2021.<ref name="appointed" /> Prior to becoming Ambassador, Fos, a distinguished career diplomat who was conferred the [[Gawad Mabini]] twice,<ref name="gawadmabini" /><ref name="gawadmabini2" /> had most recently served as Assistant Secretary for Migrant Workers' Affairs.<ref name="ofw" /> His appointment was confirmed by the [[Commission on Appointments]] on September 1, 2021,<ref name="confirmed" /> and he presented his credentials to King [[Harald V of Norway|Harald V]] on December 2, 2021.<ref name="credentials" />

With the Embassy's opening spurred by growing diplomatic and trade relations between the two countries, as well as the growing number of Filipinos in Norway,<ref name="opening" /> many of the Embassy's activities involve those areas. Economically, these include encouraging imports of Philippine coffee in Norway along with similar efforts in other Scandinavian countries,<ref name="coffee" /> and promoting opportunities for Norwegian companies to help develop the Philippines' [[renewable energy]] and [[Business process outsourcing in the Philippines|business process outsourcing]] industries,<ref name="renewables" /> while diplomatically, the Embassy serves as an important post for members of the [[Communist Party of the Philippines]] and its affiliated organizations, as Norway helps facilitate talks between the two sides and CPP leaders are required to register with the mission.<ref name="register" /> Meanwhile, the Embassy has also been involved in activities to promote cultural exchanges between the Philippines and Norway, such as hosting a five-course dinner and cooking course for invited guests.<ref name="cooking" />

The Embassy is also involved in activities beyond Oslo. It maintains honorary consulates in [[Stavanger]] and [[Reykjavík]],<ref name="consulates" /> hosts regular consular outreach activities in territories under its jurisdiction,<ref name="svalbard" /><ref name="iceland" /> and in the Philippines, the Embassy also periodically warns against spurious job opportunities in Norway,<ref name="offers" /> including those spread through unlicensed Norwegian language schools.<ref name="languageschool" />

The '''Embassy of the Philippines in Stockholm''' is the [[diplomatic mission]] of the [[Philippines|Republic of the Philippines]] to the [[Sweden|Kingdom of Sweden]]. It is located on the island of [[Lidingö]] in [[Stockholm County]], east of [[Stockholm]] city proper. Although the current embassy dates from 2020, the Philippines also maintained a previous resident embassy in Sweden between 1978 and 2012.

==History==
[[File:Skeppsbron 20, 2009a.jpg|thumb|left|Prior to its closure in 2012, the Philippine Embassy in Stockholm was located at [[Skeppsbron]] 20 in [[Gamla stan]]]]
The Philippines did not initially open a resident mission in Sweden when diplomatic relations between the two countries were established on January 17, 1947. An honorary consulate was first opened in 1970, and on November 9, 1978, [[Jose Manuel Estela Stilianopoulos|Jose E. Stilianopoulos]], then Philippine Ambassador to the United Kingdom, was accredited as the first non-resident Philippine ambassador to Sweden. The first physical resident embassy opened around a week later, headed by ''[[chargé d'affaires]]'' Rolando Libas,<ref name="oldembassy" /> in [[Gamla stan]], Stockholm's old town.

In 1982, Consuelo Arranz was appointed as the first resident Philippine ambassador to Sweden, serving until 1986.<ref name="oldembassy" /> The Philippine Embassy in Stockholm at the time was the first Philippine diplomatic mission in the Nordic states, and when it opened it exercised jurisdiction over [[Denmark]], [[Finland]], [[Norway]], and the Baltic states of [[Estonia]], [[Latvia]] and [[Lithuania]], in addition to Sweden. On April 30, 2007, jurisdiction over Denmark and Norway was transferred to a [[Embassy of the Philippines, Oslo|newly opened embassy]] in [[Oslo]], while jurisdiction over Finland was transferred to a [[Embassy of the Philippines, Helsinki|newly opened embassy]] in [[Helsinki]] on November 12, 2009,<ref name="oldembassy" /> opening the same year as new embassies in Ireland and Portugal.<ref name="embassies" />

After a massive expansion of the Philippines' diplomatic presence abroad during the presidency of [[Gloria Macapagal Arroyo]], in 2010 Senator [[Franklin Drilon]] questioned the need for embassies in countries with small Filipino communities, including a number of countries in Europe, and called for a review of the Philippines' diplomatic presence worldwide.<ref name="drilon" /> This would lead to the closure of ten posts under Arroyo's successor, [[Benigno Aquino III]], and ultimately to the closure of the Embassy on October 31, 2012.<ref name="closures" /> The closure was not without controversy: in February 2012, coinciding with celebrations commemorating the [[People Power Revolution]], hundreds of people held a march in cold weather to protest the Embassy's closure.<ref name="protest" /> Protesters called on President Aquino to reconsider his position as the local community was not consulted on the decision, especially considering the size of the local community in Sweden relative to other missions where there are smaller numbers of Filipinos, and Sweden's relative prosperity compared to other countries whose missions ought to be closed instead.<ref name="protest" /> A petition was also organized alongside similar movements in other affected countries, with signatures being gathered from Filipinos all over Sweden.<ref name="petition" />

At the time, the Embassy exercised jurisdiction over the Baltic states, which was subsequently transferred to the [[Embassy of the Philippines, Warsaw|Philippine Embassy in Warsaw]],<ref name="baltics" /> and Sweden was placed under the jurisdiction of the Philippine Embassy in Oslo, which conducted monthly consular outreach visits.<ref name="fiesta" /> While there was no resident embassy in Sweden, relations were conducted through a reopened honorary consulate, led by [[Erik Belfrage]],<ref name="reopen" /> who led efforts to reopen the embassy.<ref name="death" />

By 2019, the Philippine government had begun considering reopening a resident mission in Sweden owing to deepening relations between the two countries,<ref name="consider" /> and Foreign Affairs Secretary [[Teodoro Locsin Jr.]] announced that the Philippine Embassy in Stockholm would reopen, part of an expansion of the country's diplomatic presence under Aquino's successor, [[Rodrigo Duterte]].<ref name="locsin" /> Later that year, a landing team arrived to set up the new embassy, and on May 15, 2020, the Embassy was reopened to the public, four years after Sweden reopened its embassy in Manila.<ref name="reopen-rappler" /> The Embassy's reopening, however, was overshadowed by Belfrage's death the month before due to [[Coronavirus disease 2019|COVID-19]] amidst [[COVID-19 pandemic|a pandemic of the disease]].<ref name="death" />

After initially operating from temporary offices along [[Olof Palmes Gata, Stockholm|Olof Palme Street]] in central Stockholm, the Embassy moved to a new, permanent chancery on the island of [[Lidingö]] on November 1, 2020.<ref name="newchancery" /> Its jurisdiction was subsequently reduced to cover Sweden only with the reopening of the Philippine Embassy in Helsinki on October 4, 2024.<ref name="helsinki" />

==Staff and activities==
The Philippine Embassy in Stockholm is currently headed by Ambassador Maria Lumen B. Isleta, who was appointed to the position by President Duterte on February 19, 2021.<ref name="appointed" /> Prior to becoming Ambassador, Isleta, a career diplomat, served as Assistant Secretary of Foreign Affairs, working under the DFA's Office of American Affairs,<ref name="assistantsecretary" /> and prior to that served as ambassador to a number of Asian countries, including stints at the Philippine Embassies in [[Embassy of the Philippines, Jakarta|Jakarta]] and Vientiane.<ref name="indonesia" /><ref name="laos" /> Her appointment was confirmed by the [[Commission on Appointments]] on March 24, 2021,<ref name="confirmed" /> and she presented her credentials to King [[Carl XVI Gustaf]] on October 19, 2021.<ref name="credentials" />

The Embassy currently serves 15,000 Filipinos in Sweden. Passport renewals were initially still handled by the Philippine Embassy in Oslo,<ref name="reopen-rappler" /> ostensibly due to delays in receiving passport issuing equipment due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]],<ref name="pandemic" /> although it was able to handle all other consular transactions. The Embassy officially began accepting passport applications on August 24, 2020.<ref name="passport" />

The '''Embassy of the Philippines in Helsinki''' is the [[diplomatic mission]] of the [[Philippines|Republic of the Philippines]] to the [[Finland|Republic of Finland]]. It is currently located on [[Mannerheimintie]] in the [[Kamppi]] neighborhood of central [[Helsinki]], beside the [[Hotel Marski]] and across from the flagship [[Stockmann, Helsinki centre|Stockmann]] department store.

Although the current embassy dates from 2024, the Philippines also maintained a previous resident embassy in Finland between 2009 and 2012.

==History==
Diplomatic relations between the Philippines and Finland were established on July 14, 1955, although a resident mission would not open until much later. Relations were initially conducted through the [[Embassy of the Philippines, London|Philippine Embassy in London]], with President [[Ramon Magsaysay]] appointing [[León María Guerrero III]] as non-resident ambassador to Finland.<ref name="history" /> Jurisdiction over Finland would later pass between various missions in Europe, including the embassies in [[Embassy of the Philippines, Berlin|Bonn]], [[Embassy of the Philippines, Moscow|Moscow]], and [[Embassy of the Philippines, Stockholm|Stockholm]].<ref name="history" />

Deepening relations, especially economic ties,<ref name="closer" /> between the Philippines and Finland would lead to the opening of the Embassy on November 2, 2009, during the presidency of [[Gloria Macapagal Arroyo]],<ref name="history" /> alongside resident missions also opening that year in Ireland, Poland, and Portugal.<ref name="embassies" /> It would take over responsibility for conducting relations with Finland from the Philippine Embassy in Stockholm ten days later,<ref name="oldembassy" /> and consular services would later be offered starting on April 12, 2010, with the opening of the Embassy's consular section.<ref name="history" />

Expansion of the Philippines' diplomatic presence abroad during the Arroyo presidency was not without controversy: in 2010, Senator [[Franklin Drilon]] questioned the need for embassies in countries with small Filipino communities, including a number of countries in Europe, and called for a review of the Philippines' diplomatic presence worldwide.<ref name="drilon" /> This would lead to the closure of ten posts under Arroyo's successor, [[Benigno Aquino III]], and ultimately to the closure of the embassies in Finland and Sweden on October 31, 2012,<ref name="closures" /> with both countries being placed under the jurisdiction of the [[Embassy of the Philippines, Oslo|Philippine Embassy in Oslo]],<ref name="oslo" /> and services in Finland provided through an honorary consulate in Helsinki.<ref name="honoraryconsulate" /> Finland was then later placed under the jurisdiction of the reopened Philippine Embassy in Stockholm on May 15, 2020,<ref name="reopen-rappler" /> and a second honorary consulate, replacing the first one, opened in [[Espoo]] two months later on July 16, 2020.<ref name="honoraryconsulate2" />

On November 15, 2022, during budget deliberations for the [[Department of Foreign Affairs (Philippines)|Department of Foreign Affairs]] (DFA), Senator [[Loren Legarda]] announced that the Embassy was one of four missions that would reopen in 2024.<ref name="reopen" /> Spurred in part by the reopening of the Finnish Embassy in [[Manila]] in 2020,<ref name="thankyou" /> this was reaffirmed by Vice President [[Sara Duterte]] in October 2023,<ref name="sara" /> and some time thereafter the DFA itself confirmed that it was undertaking final preparations for the reopening of a resident Philippine mission in Finland in 2024.<ref name="newembassy" />

The advance team setting up the Embassy announced that they had arrived in Helsinki on September 24, 2024, and are preparing to immediately begin offering consular services once the mission has completed all the required procedures for opening.<ref name="opening" /> It formally opened nearly two weeks later on October 4, 2024.<ref name="nowopen" />

==Chancery==
The [[chancery (diplomacy)|chancery]] of the Philippine Embassy in Helsinki was first located on [[Keskuskatu]] 1b in the neighboring [[Kluuvi]] neighborhood, behind the Stockmann department store.<ref name="locationmap" /> With the Embassy's reopening, it set up a new chancery nearby on Mannerheimintie.<ref name="representation" />

==Staff and activities==
The Philippine Embassy in Helsinki was headed by Ambassador Maria Angelina M. Sta. Catalina, the Philippines' first (and so far, only) resident ambassador to Finland. A career diplomat who was appointed to the position by President Arroyo, she previously served as Consul General at the Philippine Embassy in [[Brussels]].<ref name="ambassador" /> Her appointment was confirmed by the [[Commission on Appointments]] (CA) on May 20, 2009,<ref name="confirmed-old" /> and she presented her credentials to Finnish President [[Tarja Halonen]] on November 12, 2009.<ref name="history" />

With the Embassy's impending reopening it is set to be headed by a new ambassador, Domingo P. Nolasco, who was appointed to the position by President [[Bongbong Marcos]] on June 25, 2024.<ref name="appointed" /> Prior to becoming Ambassador, Nolasco, a career diplomat, served as the DFA's Assistant Secretary for Financial Management Services,<ref name="fund" /> and before that served at the [[Embassy of the Philippines, Rome|Philippine Embassy in Rome]] as ambassador to [[Italy]].<ref name="rome" /> His appointment was confirmed by the CA on August 7, 2024.<ref name="confirmed" />

The '''Embassy of the Philippines in Helsinki''' is the [[diplomatic mission]] of the [[Philippines|Republic of the Philippines]] to the [[Finland|Republic of Finland]]. It is currently located on [[Mannerheimintie]] in the [[Kamppi]] neighborhood of central [[Helsinki]], beside the [[Hotel Marski]] and across from the flagship [[Stockmann, Helsinki centre|Stockmann]] department store.

Although the current embassy dates from 2024, the Philippines also maintained a previous resident embassy in Finland between 2009 and 2012.

:Nominator(s): ''[[User:MaranoFan|N]][[User talk:MaranoFan|Ø]]'' 15:42, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

This article is about [[Olivia Rodrigo]]'s song "Can't Catch Me Now". Just two months after raking in massive critical acclaim with her second studio album, ''[[Guts (Olivia Rodrigo album)|Guts]]'', Rodrigo contributed this lush folk ballad to ''[[The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes]]''. The song, which consistently escalates in intensity throughout its duration, drew positive reviews for its sound and Rodrigo's vocal performance. Oscar buzz soon followed but the competition was unfortunately too tough. Thanks a lot to everyone who will take the time to give their feedback here.''[[User:MaranoFan|N]][[User talk:MaranoFan|Ø]]'' 15:42, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

Soon. I hope... '''λ''' [[User:NegativeMP1|'''Negative''']][[User talk:NegativeMP1|'''MP1''']] 17:20, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

:I'm sorry, but I'm not sure if I'm going to review this article anymore following some real-world developments. I'm also unsure if I am currently in the right place to determine what meets FA criteria or not. If something like a spotcheck or an image review is needed, let me know in a couple weeks and I might volunteer. But I don't think I will be reviewing the article prose. I wish you luck, and I'll try to make up for it at a later date. '''λ''' [[User:NegativeMP1|'''Negative''']][[User talk:NegativeMP1|'''MP1''']] 17:55, 4 October 2024 (UTC)

====Pending review from Pbritti====
Somehow this song from her discography had escaped my notice until now, so this review gives me an excuse to throw it on. Will complete in the next 24 hours. ~ [[User:Pbritti|Pbritti]] ([[User talk:Pbritti|talk]]) 01:47, 4 October 2024 (UTC)

====Review from Sky Harbor====
I was asked to review the article on [[WP:DISCORD]], and at first glance the prose looks good. Maybe a couple of errors here or there but otherwise written well. In honor of Olivia Rodrigo's [[Guts World Tour]] and it stopping in the Philippines (and also because she's Filipino American and it's [[Filipino American History Month]]), I will endeavor to review this more deeply and will post some thoughts on the article later depending on my real-life workload. --[[User:Sky Harbor|Sky Harbor]] ([[User talk:Sky Harbor|talk]]) 16:24, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

:Hi there, {{u|MaranoFan}}. Thank you very much for taking the time to write this article, and I'm glad that you had taken the time to write it. For this review, I will focus primarily on prose and writing, deferring to others more versed in the current FA process than me for more technical aspects:

:*In the first sentence of the [[Can't Catch Me Now#Composition and lyrics|composition and lyrics]] section, I would include that Dylan Waterhouse plays the instruments you mention in the next sentence ("..., who also plays..."). In the current arrangement I am left wondering who "he" is.
:*In the [[Can't Catch Me Now#Music video|music video]] section, is the "white sleek dress" a specific dress, or is it a white dress that happens to be slimming?
:*I personally write out numbers as words so long as it's ten or below ("Ten days later" instead of "10 days later"), but I get that this is a stylistic choice.

:As I mentioned initially, the prose itself is written well so I don't see any major impediments to the article becoming an FA, and I think the suggestions made here would push that case even further. Best of luck. --[[User:Sky Harbor|Sky Harbor]] ([[User talk:Sky Harbor|talk]]) 14:22, 9 October 2024 (UTC)

== Misgendering of PBA athletes ==
{{User:ClueBot III/DoNotArchiveUntil|1735739654}}
Fiddling with athletes these days when I noticed that several players have been misgendered as male in talk pages and included in WikiProject Women's Sport (ex. [[Eddie Laure]], [[Robert Bolick]], [[Fritz Gaston]] and [[Carlo Sharma]]). Is this the work of an overlooked vandal or a bug? [[User:Borgenland|Borgenland]] ([[User talk:Borgenland|talk]]) 17:05, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

:It was by [[User:KiranBOT|KiranBOT]], a bot, so a bug.[[User:Hariboneagle927|Hariboneagle927]] ([[User talk:Hariboneagle927|talk]]) 01:10, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
::{{re|Hariboneagle927|Borgenland}} thank you for pointing out the mistakes. I was provided a [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Bot_requests&diff=prev&oldid=1228326043 list of around 4000 categories.] These categories were supposed to contain articles about only women. There might have been an oversight while creating the list itself, or some men's articles might have been added to the incorrect categories. Regarding Carlo Sharmam, and Robert Bolick which are from [[:Category:De La Salle Green Archers basketball players]] is for men's players, which seems to have been in the list. While [[Eddie Laure]] was assistant coach of the UST Golden Tigresses women's varsity basketball team, maybe thats why he is of interest for the women's wikiproject? [[:Fritz Gaston]] is in the [[:Category:Philippines women's national basketball team coaches]]. I am willing to rectify/make changes based on suggestions, but I think first we should look for the reason which caused these edits. Maybe {{ping|User:Hmlarson}} can help. —usernamekiran [[User talk:usernamekiran|(talk)]] 11:31, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
:::There had been men who had coached women's sports teams in the Philippines (and probably elsewhere).
:::Tip for categorization for college sports teams: In the USA, the women's teams almost always have the same team nicknames as the men's teams. For example, the women's basketball team of the [[University of North Carolina]] are also the "Tar Heels", just like the men (not "Lady Tar Heels"). There are a very few exceptions. In categorization, the way to distinguish is the word "men's or "women's" in the titles.
:::In the Philippines, the women's teams are named after the women's counterpart of the male nickname, which is always (no exception) the primary nickname. For example, the men's basketball team of the [[Far Eastern University]] are the "Tamaraws", while the women's team are the "Lady Tamaraws". It can be creative, like "Growling Tigers/Tigresses", but mostly the word "Lady" is added, like "Knights/Lady Knights". The 2 exceptions are [[Ateneo de Manila University]] and [[University of the Philippines Diliman]], which are like the US teams having the same nickname regardless of sex, so it's always "Blue Eagles" and "Fighting Maroons", respectively. For categorization, the women's teams usually have the word "Lady", while the men's teams do not.
:::There were a series of [[WP:RM]]s about this, and the latest just ended a few days ago. See [[Talk:University Athletic Association of the Philippines#College sports articles naming]]; there had been categories that had been renamed as a result.
:::While men can coach women, men can't play with women (not yet), and women don't play with men (no women are good as men yet to make a team), so the player categories can be straightforward for now.

I can reverse the changes to the articles from that list. I already have the program ready. —usernamekiran [[User talk:usernamekiran|(talk)]] 12:38, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

:I can only speak for projects involving the Philippines. For now there is certainly that Ateneo men’s, UP men’s and the 2 UAAP men’s are wrongly categorized. Will check the others later. [[User:Borgenland|Borgenland]] ([[User talk:Borgenland|talk]]) 12:41, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
:Jeez [[Category talk:UAAP men's basketball tournaments]] was tagged as women's sport when the category title itself mentions men. All Adamson, Ateneo, La Salle, FEU, NU, UE and UST categories were also wrongly tagged.
:Interestingly, the NCAA (Philippines) teams may not have been affected. I checked [[Category talk:Letran Knights basketball players]] and there were no women's sports project link.
:[[:Category:Kentucky State Thorobrettes basketball]] is a women's team; the men's team are the [[:Category:Kentucky State Thorobreds basketball]], an example of Philippine-style naming in the USA.
:The other categories seem to be sports teams and competitions from other countries and someone else should make a judgment on those. [[User:Howard the Duck|Howard the Duck]] ([[User talk:Howard the Duck|talk]]) 23:47, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

== 1901 in Samar and Batangas, pacification, and WP:SS ==

Today, I did a significant rearrangement of content in the [[March across Samar]] article. That article now has two focuses; the "March" described in the lead section and, separately, [[Jacob H. Smith|General Smith]]'s outrageous orders and their consequence. I put the latter into a ''Background'' section as that preceded the "March"' described in the lead. That ''Background'' stuff there is highlighted in {{section link|Philippine-American War|American atrocities}}. Also highlighted there are harsh actions ordered by [[J. Franklin Bell|General Bell]] in Batangas and their consequences. All of that was in the time period subsequent to Aguinaldo's <del>acceptance of</del> <ins>statement acknowledging and accepting</ins> U.S. sovereignty over the whole Philippines in April 1901. Smith and Bell were reacting to [[Vincente Lukban]] and [[Miguel Malvar]] continuing the fighting in Samar and Batangas subsequent to that <del>surrender.</del> <ins>statement</ins> It strikes me that these can be categorized as pacification actions (the [[Pacification]] disambig page has a category: ''A military, political, economic, and social process of establishing or reestablishing control by a government over a population impacted and divided by insurgency''). I'm thinking of creating [[Pacification of Samar]] amd [[Pacification of Batangas]] as [[WP:SS]] detail articles for those topics, and thought I would mention that here. I would be intrested in comments or discussion. [[User:Wtmitchell|Wtmitchell]] [[User:Wtmitchell|Wtmitchell]] [[User talk:Wtmitchell|(talk)]] (earlier ''Boracay Bill'') 01:42, 17 September 2024 (UTC) (updated)

('''update''') I have published the [[Pacification of Samar]] article. It consists mainly of content taken from {{section link|March across Samar|Background}} with a rewritten lead section, some rewrites in the body, and the addition of a number of cites. The ''External links'' section and the categories list were imported from that other article with no changes.

The [[Philippines]]' area of 300,000 sqkm has been changed several times by a user, who claims it is larger. At one time, he removed the 300,000 area from the infobox, and a concerned editor began discussing it in the talk page. Please verify if the area is indeed more than 300,000 sqkm and revert if not.

== Cityhood sections of some municipality articles ==

Is it appropriate for articles of some capital municipalities like [[Kalibo]] to have mentions of {{xt|the House Bills automatically coverting capital municipalities of city-less provinces}} in the cityhood sections? While it may seem OK at first, it may lean towards [[WP:OR]] and overuse of [[WP:PRIMARY]] sources. Also, there is no guarantee that those bills are going to be passed, due to continued vigilance of the [[League of Cities of the Philippines]] against lenient cityhood laws in a similar fasion as cityhood rules of many U.S. states, so it is ''not sustainable'' to have mentions of these cityhood house bills for city-less provinces in the articles of capital municipalities of city-less provinces, like Kalibo, [[Siquijor, Siquijor|Siquijor]], and [[Basco, Batanes|Basco]]. The mention to the said house bills is probably OK at the main cityhood article ([[Cities of the Philippines]]), but those mentions in the articles of 16 municipalities should be removed. Thoughts?

== Islam in the Philippines ==

Recently, I noticed some misinformation regarding an article in religion in the Philippines. Particularly the [[Islam in the Philippines]] statistics in the introduction. One anonymous user changed statistics cited from the PSA. For instance, from the official number of 6,981,710, the user changed the number up to 15,231,564. I thought at first that the anonynous user was editing based from the cited sources in the article, but looking into the [https://psa.gov.ph/content/religious-affiliation-philippines-2020-census-population-and-housing PSA site] cited, the official number is more than 6 million.

== Clarification on Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Philippines-related_articles#Provincial_name_convention ==

Hi, just wanted to clarify something about the provincial name convention guideline in [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Philippines-related articles#Provincial name convention]]. I've seen a few articles that have referred to the location of buildings, birthplaces, etc. both in the lead section or infobox in the format of <code>City, Philippines</code> or <code>City, Province, Philippines</code>. An example of this I've seen is <code>Quezon City, Philippines</code>.

Since the current guidelines don't clarify on this, when is it appropriate for a location to include <code>the Philippines</code> and when is it appropriate to just end at either the metropolitan area or province? (e.g. <code>San Juan, Metro Manila</code> instead of <code>San Juan, Metro Manila, the Philippines</code>) Also, should it be <code>Philippines</code> or <code>the Philippines</code>?

I was provided a [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Bot_requests&diff=prev&oldid=1228326043 list of around 4000 categories.] These categories were supposed to contain articles about only women. There might have been an oversight while creating the list itself, or some men's articles might have been added to the incorrect categories. Regarding Carlo Sharmam, and Robert Bolick which are from [[:Category:De La Salle Green Archers basketball players]] is for men's players, which seems to have been in the list. While [[Eddie Laure]] was assistant coach of the UST Golden Tigresses women's varsity basketball team, maybe thats why he is of interest for the women's wikiproject? [[:Fritz Gaston]] is in the [[:Category:Philippines women's national basketball team coaches]].

:::There had been men who had coached women's sports teams in the Philippines (and probably elsewhere).
:::Tip for categorization for college sports teams: In the USA, the women's teams almost always have the same team nicknames as the men's teams. For example, the women's basketball team of the [[University of North Carolina]] are also the "Tar Heels", just like the men (not "Lady Tar Heels"). There are a very few exceptions. In categorization, the way to distinguish is the word "men's or "women's" in the titles.
:::In the Philippines, the women's teams are named after the women's counterpart of the male nickname, which is always (no exception) the primary nickname. For example, the men's basketball team of the [[Far Eastern University]] are the "Tamaraws", while the women's team are the "Lady Tamaraws". It can be creative, like "Growling Tigers/Tigresses", but mostly the word "Lady" is added, like "Knights/Lady Knights". The 2 exceptions are [[Ateneo de Manila University]] and [[University of the Philippines Diliman]], which are like the US teams having the same nickname regardless of sex, so it's always "Blue Eagles" and "Fighting Maroons", respectively. For categorization, the women's teams usually have the word "Lady", while the men's teams do not.
:::There were a series of [[WP:RM]]s about this, and the latest just ended a few days ago. See [[Talk:University Athletic Association of the Philippines#College sports articles naming]]; there had been categories that had been renamed as a result.
:::While men can coach women, men can't play with women (not yet), and women don't play with men (no women are good as men yet to make a team), so the player categories can be straightforward for now.

== 1901 in Samar and Batangas, pacification, and WP:SS ==

Today, I did a significant rearrangement of content in the [[March across Samar]] article. That article now has two focuses; the "March" described in the lead section and, separately, [[Jacob H. Smith|General Smith]]'s outrageous orders and their consequence. I put the latter into a ''Background'' section as that preceded the "March"' described in the lead. That ''Background'' stuff there is highlighted in {{section link|Philippine-American War|American atrocities}}. Also highlighted there are harsh actions ordered by [[J. Franklin Bell|General Bell]] in Batangas and their consequences. All of that was in the time period subsequent to Aguinaldo's <del>acceptance of</del> <ins>statement acknowledging and accepting</ins> U.S. sovereignty over the whole Philippines in April 1901. Smith and Bell were reacting to [[Vincente Lukban]] and [[Miguel Malvar]] continuing the fighting in Samar and Batangas subsequent to that <del>surrender.</del> <ins>statement</ins> It strikes me that these can be categorized as pacification actions (the [[Pacification]] disambig page has a category: ''A military, political, economic, and social process of establishing or reestablishing control by a government over a population impacted and divided by insurgency''). I'm thinking of creating [[Pacification of Samar]] amd [[Pacification of Batangas]] as [[WP:SS]] detail articles for those topics, and thought I would mention that here. I would be intrested in comments or discussion.

('''update''') I have published the [[Pacification of Samar]] article. It consists mainly of content taken from {{section link|March across Samar|Background}} with a rewritten lead section, some rewrites in the body, and the addition of a number of cites. The ''External links'' section and the categories list were imported from that other article with no changes. My intentions are to review that other article after a waiting period for reactions to this article's publication, probably rewriting the lead and removing the ''Background'' section after a waiting period.

== Cityhood sections of some municipality articles ==

Is it appropriate for articles of some capital municipalities like [[Kalibo]] to have mentions of {{xt|the House Bills automatically coverting capital municipalities of city-less provinces}} in the cityhood sections? While it may seem OK at first, it may lean towards [[WP:OR]] and overuse of [[WP:PRIMARY]] sources. Also, there is no guarantee that those bills are going to be passed, due to continued vigilance of the [[League of Cities of the Philippines]] against lenient cityhood laws in a similar fasion as cityhood rules of many U.S. states, so it is ''not sustainable'' to have mentions of these cityhood house bills for city-less provinces in the articles of capital municipalities of city-less provinces, like Kalibo, [[Siquijor, Siquijor|Siquijor]], and [[Basco, Batanes|Basco]]. The mention to the said house bills is probably OK at the main cityhood article ([[Cities of the Philippines]]), but those mentions in the articles of 16 municipalities should be removed. Thoughts?

== Islam in the Philippines ==

Recently, I noticed some misinformation regarding an article in religion in the Philippines. Particularly the [[Islam in the Philippines]] statistics in the introduction. One anonymous user changed statistics cited from the PSA. For instance, from the official number of 6,981,710, the user changed the number up to 15,231,564. I thought at first that the anonynous user was editing based from the cited sources in the article, but looking into the [https://psa.gov.ph/content/religious-affiliation-philippines-2020-census-population-and-housing PSA site] cited, the official number is more than 6 million.

I'm not sure regarding the anonymous user's other edits (September 22, 2024) as it seemed to be unsourced. I also noticed that this [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/2406:2D40:92C0:3810:4A5:9BD2:99F0:43E user's edits were reverted in some Philippine-related articles] including the [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Manila&diff=prev&oldid=1248435462 Manila article].

I saw this [[Special:Diff/1250014551|page move/rename]] by {{u|TheLibyanGuy}} and I don't agree with their reasoning.

== Clarification on Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Philippines-related_articles#Provincial_name_convention ==

Hi, just wanted to clarify something about the provincial name convention guideline in [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Philippines-related articles#Provincial name convention]]. I've seen a few articles that have referred to the location of buildings, birthplaces, etc. both in the lead section or infobox in the format of <code>City, Philippines</code> or <code>City, Province, Philippines</code>. An example of this I've seen is <code>Quezon City, Philippines</code>.

Since the current guidelines don't clarify on this, when is it appropriate for a location to include <code>the Philippines</code> and when is it appropriate to just end at either the metropolitan area or province? (e.g. <code>San Juan, Metro Manila</code> instead of <code>San Juan, Metro Manila, the Philippines</code>) Also, should it be <code>Philippines</code> or <code>the Philippines</code>? [[User:Ganmatthew|Ganmatthew]] ([[User talk:Ganmatthew|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Ganmatthew|contribs]]) 06:09, 9 October 2024 (UTC)

[[File:Diplomatic missions of the Philippines.svg|thumb|450px|right|Countries hosting diplomatic missions of the Philippines]]

The '''[[Philippines|Republic of the Philippines]]''' has a network of [[diplomatic mission]]s in major cities around the world, under the purview of the [[Department of Foreign Affairs (Philippines)|Department of Foreign Affairs]] (DFA), to forward the country's interests in the areas that they serve, as well as to serve the ever-growing numbers of [[Overseas Filipinos]] and [[Overseas Filipino Worker]]s.

Although the Philippine diplomatic mission network is wide, there are embassies that are accredited to other nations without Philippine diplomatic posts. The network as of August 2024 consists of 64 embassies, 28 consulates-general, 4 permanent missions to international organizations, and the Manila Economic and Cultural Office (MECO) in Taipei, and its 2 extension offices.

Excluded from this listing are honorary consulates, branches of the [[Sentro Rizal]], overseas offices of the [[Department of Tourism (Philippines)|Department of Tourism]] and the [[Department of Migrant Workers (Philippines)|Department of Migrant Workers]], and trade missions (with the exception of MECO, which serves as the country's [[de facto embassy]] to [[Taiwan]]).

==History==
Although attempts at initial diplomatic relations were made during the [[Philippine Revolution]] and the time of the [[First Philippine Republic]], most nations have established diplomatic relations with the Philippines only in the years after the country achieved independence from the [[United States]] in 1946.

The first documented instance of a Philippine diplomatic mission being established abroad was that of the [[Embassy of the Philippines, Tokyo|embassy in Tokyo]], which was opened by the [[Second Philippine Republic]], a puppet state of the [[Empire of Japan]], on March 24, 1944, with [[Jorge B. Vargas]] as its first ambassador.<ref name="vargas">{{cite news | last=Ocampo | first=Ambeth R. | author-link=Ambeth Ocampo | title=Jorge Vargas as PH envoy to Japan during WWII | url=https://opinion.inquirer.net/92431/jorge-vargas-as-ph-envoy-to-japan-during-wwii | newspaper=[[Philippine Daily Inquirer]] | date=January 29, 2016 | accessdate=October 24, 2021}}</ref> However, the mission was summarily closed with Japan's defeat in [[World War II]], and as it was never recognized by the pre-war [[Commonwealth of the Philippines]],<ref name="closed">{{cite web | title=Letter of President Roxas to General MacArthur on sending a five-man Commission on Reparations | url=https://www.officialgazette.gov.ph/1947/01/06/letter-of-president-roxas-to-general-macarthur-on-sending-a-five-man-commission-on-reparations/ | work=[[Official Gazette (Philippines)|Official Gazette]] | date=January 6, 1947 | accessdate=October 24, 2021 | quote=Concerning quarters for the Philippine personnel for this Commission and others we may send in the future, will you kindly consider the possibility of housing them in the building formerly occupied by the Philippine Embassy and which has been purchased by the Puppet Republic?}}</ref> the oldest continually-operating Philippine diplomatic mission is that of the [[Embassy of the Philippines, Washington, D.C.|embassy in Washington, D.C.]], replacing the office of the [[Resident Commissioner of the Philippines]] after the country achieved independence from the United States on July 4, 1946,<ref name="closed"/> and led by [[Joaquín Miguel Elizalde]] as its first ambassador.<ref name="firstmissions">{{cite web | title=Appointments and Designations: July 1946 | url=https://www.officialgazette.gov.ph/1957/03/31/appointments-and-designations-march-31-1957/ | work=[[Official Gazette (Philippines)|Official Gazette]] | date=March 31, 1957 | accessdate=January 1, 2021}}</ref> This was followed shortly thereafter with the establishment of the permanent mission to the [[United Nations]].<ref name="firstmissions" />

A number of missions were opened in the first years after independence. In his 1947 [[State of the Nation Address (Philippines)|State of the Nation Address]] (SONA), President [[Manuel Roxas]] announced that missions in a number of other cities were also opened aside from the embassy in Washington, D.C.;<ref name="roxas-sona">{{cite web | title=State of the Nation Address of President Roxas, January 27, 1947 | url=https://www.officialgazette.gov.ph/1947/01/27/state-of-the-nation-address-of-president-roxas-january-27-1947/ | work=[[Official Gazette (Philippines)|Official Gazette]] | date=January 27, 1947 | accessdate=October 24, 2021 | quote=Consistent with our new status as a Republic, we have organized a Foreign Affairs Department and a Foreign Service, and established an embassy at Washington and consular offices in a number of places abroad.}}</ref> these included the first consulates general in [[New York City]], [[San Francisco]], and [[Honolulu]], as well as consulates in [[Xiamen]] and [[Hong Kong]].<ref name="reorg">{{cite web | title=Executive Order No. 94, s. 1947 | url=https://www.officialgazette.gov.ph/1947/10/04/executive-order-no-94-s-1947/ | work=[[Official Gazette (Philippines)|Official Gazette]] | date=October 4, 1947 | accessdate=October 24, 2021}}</ref> Additional missions were opened the following year, including the first missions in Europe (in [[London]], [[Madrid]] and [[Rome]]) and Latin America (in [[Buenos Aires]]).<ref name="specialmission">{{cite web | title=State-of-the-Nation Message of President Quirino to the Joint Session of the Congress of the Philippines | url=https://www.officialgazette.gov.ph/1949/01/24/state-of-the-nation-message-of-president-quirino-to-the-joint-session-of-the-congress-of-the-philippines/ | work=[[Official Gazette (Philippines)|Official Gazette]] | date=January 24, 1949 | accessdate=December 5, 2020 | quote=For our part, we have diplomatic establishments’ in eight nations and consular representatives in seventeen cities.

The Philippines' diplomatic presence grew significantly during the presidency of [[Ferdinand Marcos]], spurred in part by the normalization of relations with the [[Eastern Bloc]] in the early 1970s.<ref name="eastgermany">{{cite web | title=Official Week in Review: September 21 – September 27, 1973 | url=https://www.officialgazette.gov.ph/1973/10/01/official-week-in-review-september-21-september-27-1973/ | work=[[Official Gazette (Philippines)|Official Gazette]] | date=October 1973 | access-date=November 12, 2021 | quote=THE PHILIPPINES and the German Democratic Republic (East Germany) established formal diplomatic relations it was announced by the Department of Foreign Affairs.

Another expansion of the country's diplomatic presence took place during the presidency of [[Gloria Macapagal Arroyo]], with 67 countries hosting Philippine diplomatic missions by the end of her presidency. This, however, was not without controversy: in 2010 Senator [[Franklin Drilon]] questioned the need for embassies in countries with small Filipino communities, calling for a review of the Philippines' diplomatic presence worldwide.<ref name="drilon">{{cite news | last=Ager | first=Maila |title=Review sought over number of RP embassies |url=http://globalnation.inquirer.net/news/breakingnews/view/20101020-298803/Review-sought-over-number-of-RP-embassies |newspaper=[[Philippine Daily Inquirer]] |publisher=Philippine Daily Inquirer, Inc. |date=October 20, 2010 |accessdate=December 4, 2022 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20101023054040/http://globalnation.inquirer.net/news/breakingnews/view/20101020-298803/Review-sought-over-number-of-RP-embassies |archivedate=October 23, 2010 }}</ref> Arroyo's successor, [[Benigno Aquino III]], then announced two years later the closure of ten posts (seven embassies and three consulates general): [[Caracas]], [[Venezuela]]; [[Koror]], [[Palau]]; [[Dublin]], [[Ireland]]; [[Stockholm]], [[Sweden]]; [[Bucharest]], [[Romania]]; [[Havana]], [[Cuba]]; [[Helsinki]], [[Finland]]; [[Barcelona]], [[Spain]]; [[Frankfurt]], [[Germany]] and [[Saipan]], [[Northern Mariana Islands]].<ref name="Closed2012">{{cite news |url=http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/story/272524/pinoyabroad/news/dfa-shuts-down-five-overseas-posts-with-five-more-to-close-this-year |title=DFA shuts down five overseas posts, with five more to close this year |publisher=GMA News |date=4 September 2012 |access-date=1 June 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160306221412/http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/story/272524/news/pinoyabroad/dfa-shuts-down-five-overseas-posts-with-five-more-to-close-this-year|archive-date=6 March 2016}}</ref> These closures have since been largely reversed under Aquino's successors, [[Rodrigo Duterte]] and [[Bongbong Marcos]], with the 2019 reopening of the consulate general in Frankfurt,<ref name="frankfurt">{{cite press release |title=PH opens Consulate General in Frankfurt |url=https://dfa.gov.ph/dfa-news/news-from-our-foreign-service-postsupdate/19126-ph-opens-consulate-general-in-frankfurt |publisher=[[Department of Foreign Affairs (Philippines)|Department of Foreign Affairs of the Philippines]] |date=18 January 2019}}</ref> the 2020 reopening of the consulate general in Barcelona,<ref name="barcelona">{{cite press release | title=Bagong Career Consulate General sa Barcelona simula ng March 2020 | trans-title=New Career Consulate General in Barcelona starting March 2020 | url=https://www.facebook.com/PHinBarcelona/posts/104243754538151 | lang=fil | publisher=Philippine Consulate General, Barcelona | date=March 2, 2021 | access-date=August 28, 2024}}</ref> and shortly thereafter the reopening of the embassy in Sweden.<ref name="PNAGovPH-SwedenEmbassy">{{cite news |last1=Rocamora |first1=Joyce Ann L. |title=PH reopens embassy in Sweden after 8 years |url=https://www.pna.gov.ph/articles/1103050 |access-date=1 June 2020 |publisher=Philippine News Agency |date=16 May 2020}}</ref> In 2024, the embassies in Cuba, Finland, Ireland and Romania are also set to reopen after funding to reopen them was approved by Congress.<ref name="funding">{{cite news | last=Tamayo | first=Bernadette E. | title=DFA to reopen 4 embassies as Senate okays P20.3B budget | url=https://www.manilatimes.net/2022/11/15/news/dfa-to-reopen-4-embassies-as-senate-okays-p203b-budget/1866510 | work=[[The Manila Times]] | date=November 15, 2022 | access-date=August 28, 2022}}</ref> Even missions closed years earlier were reopened, such as the 2018 reopening of the consulate general in Houston 25 years after it was last closed.<ref name="houston">{{cite news | title=PH Consulate General in Houston reopens after 25 years | url=https://www.pna.gov.ph/articles/1048734 | publisher=[[Philippine News Agency]] | date=September 21, 2018 | access-date=June 14, 2020}}</ref>

The '''Embassy of the Philippines in Helsinki''' is the [[diplomatic mission]] of the [[Philippines|Republic of the Philippines]] to the [[Finland|Republic of Finland]]. It is currently located on [[Mannerheimintie]] in the [[Kamppi]] neighborhood of central [[Helsinki]], beside the [[Hotel Marski]] and across from the flagship [[Stockmann, Helsinki centre|Stockmann]] department store.

Although the current embassy dates from 2024, the Philippines also maintained a previous resident embassy in Finland between 2009 and 2012.

==History==
Diplomatic relations between the Philippines and Finland were established on July 14, 1955, although a resident mission would not open until much later. Relations were initially conducted through the [[Embassy of the Philippines, London|Philippine Embassy in London]], with President [[Ramon Magsaysay]] appointing [[León María Guerrero III]] as non-resident ambassador to Finland.<ref name="history" /> Jurisdiction over Finland would later pass between various missions in Europe, including the embassies in [[Embassy of the Philippines, Berlin|Bonn]], [[Embassy of the Philippines, Moscow|Moscow]], and [[Embassy of the Philippines, Stockholm|Stockholm]].<ref name="history" />

Deepening relations, especially economic ties,<ref name="closer" /> between the Philippines and Finland would lead to the opening of the Embassy on November 2, 2009, during the presidency of [[Gloria Macapagal Arroyo]],<ref name="history" /> alongside resident missions also opening that year in Ireland, Poland, and Portugal.<ref name="embassies" /> It would take over responsibility for conducting relations with Finland from the Philippine Embassy in Stockholm ten days later,<ref name="oldembassy" /> and consular services would later be offered starting on April 12, 2010, with the opening of the Embassy's consular section.<ref name="history" />

Expansion of the Philippines' diplomatic presence abroad during the Arroyo presidency was not without controversy: in 2010, Senator [[Franklin Drilon]] questioned the need for embassies in countries with small Filipino communities, including a number of countries in Europe, and called for a review of the Philippines' diplomatic presence worldwide.<ref name="drilon" /> This would lead to the closure of ten posts under Arroyo's successor, [[Benigno Aquino III]], and ultimately to the closure of the embassies in Finland and Sweden on October 31, 2012,<ref name="closures" /> with both countries being placed under the jurisdiction of the [[Embassy of the Philippines, Oslo|Philippine Embassy in Oslo]],<ref name="oslo" /> and services in Finland provided through an honorary consulate in Helsinki.<ref name="honoraryconsulate" /> Finland was then later placed under the jurisdiction of the reopened Philippine Embassy in Stockholm on May 15, 2020,<ref name="reopen-rappler" /> and a second honorary consulate, replacing the first one, opened in [[Espoo]] two months later on July 16, 2020.<ref name="honoraryconsulate2" />

On November 15, 2022, during budget deliberations for the [[Department of Foreign Affairs (Philippines)|Department of Foreign Affairs]] (DFA), Senator [[Loren Legarda]] announced that the Embassy was one of four missions that would reopen in 2024.<ref name="reopen" /> Spurred in part by the reopening of the Finnish Embassy in [[Manila]] in 2020,<ref name="thankyou" /> this was reaffirmed by Vice President [[Sara Duterte]] in October 2023,<ref name="sara" /> and some time thereafter the DFA itself confirmed that it was undertaking final preparations for the reopening of a resident Philippine mission in Finland in 2024.<ref name="newembassy" />

The advance team setting up the Embassy announced that they had arrived in Helsinki on September 24, 2024, and are preparing to immediately begin offering consular services once the mission has completed all the required procedures for opening.<ref name="opening" />

==Chancery==
The [[chancery (diplomacy)|chancery]] of the Philippine Embassy in Helsinki was first located on [[Keskuskatu]] 1b in the neighboring [[Kluuvi]] neighborhood, behind the Stockmann department store.<ref name="locationmap" /> With the Embassy's reopening, it set up a new chancery nearby on Mannerheimintie.<ref name="representation" />

==Staff and activities==
The Philippine Embassy in Helsinki was headed by Ambassador Maria Angelina M. Sta. Catalina, the Philippines' first (and so far, only) resident ambassador to Finland. A career diplomat who was appointed to the position by President Arroyo, she previously served as Consul General at the Philippine Embassy in [[Brussels]].<ref name="ambassador" /> Her appointment was confirmed by the [[Commission on Appointments]] (CA) on May 20, 2009,<ref name="confirmed-old" /> and she presented her credentials to Finnish President [[Tarja Halonen]] on November 12, 2009.<ref name="history" />

With the Embassy's impending reopening it is set to be headed by a new ambassador, Domingo P. Nolasco, who was appointed to the position by President [[Bongbong Marcos]] on June 25, 2024.<ref name="appointed" /> Prior to becoming Ambassador, Nolasco, a career diplomat, served as the DFA's Assistant Secretary for Financial Management Services,<ref name="fund" /> and before that served at the [[Embassy of the Philippines, Rome|Philippine Embassy in Rome]] as ambassador to [[Italy]].<ref name="rome" /> His appointment was confirmed by the CA on August 7, 2024.<ref name="confirmed" />

[[File:Diplomatic missions of the Philippines.svg|thumb|450px|right|Countries hosting diplomatic missions of the Philippines]]

The '''[[Philippines|Republic of the Philippines]]''' has a network of [[diplomatic mission]]s in major cities around the world, under the purview of the [[Department of Foreign Affairs (Philippines)|Department of Foreign Affairs]] (DFA), to forward the country's interests in the areas that they serve, as well as to serve the ever-growing numbers of [[Overseas Filipinos]] and [[Overseas Filipino Worker]]s.

Although the Philippine diplomatic mission network is wide, there are embassies that are accredited to other nations without Philippine diplomatic posts. The network as of August 2024 consists of 64 embassies, 28 consulates-general, 4 permanent missions to international organizations, and the Manila Economic and Cultural Office (MECO) in Taipei, and its 2 extension offices.

Excluded from this listing are honorary consulates, branches of the [[Sentro Rizal]], overseas offices of the [[Department of Tourism (Philippines)|Department of Tourism]] and the [[Department of Migrant Workers (Philippines)|Department of Migrant Workers]], and trade missions (with the exception of MECO, which serves as the country's [[de facto embassy]] to [[Taiwan]]).

==History==
Although attempts at initial diplomatic relations were made during the [[Philippine Revolution]] and the time of the [[First Philippine Republic]], most nations have established diplomatic relations with the Philippines only in the years after the country achieved independence from the [[United States]] in 1946.

The first documented instance of a Philippine diplomatic mission being established abroad was that of the [[Embassy of the Philippines, Tokyo|embassy in Tokyo]], which was opened by the [[Second Philippine Republic]], a puppet state of the [[Empire of Japan]], on March 24, 1944, with [[Jorge B. Vargas]] as its first ambassador.<ref name="vargas">{{cite news | last=Ocampo | first=Ambeth R. | author-link=Ambeth Ocampo | title=Jorge Vargas as PH envoy to Japan during WWII | url=https://opinion.inquirer.net/92431/jorge-vargas-as-ph-envoy-to-japan-during-wwii | newspaper=[[Philippine Daily Inquirer]] | date=January 29, 2016 | accessdate=October 24, 2021}}</ref> However, the mission was summarily closed with Japan's defeat in [[World War II]], and as it was never recognized by the pre-war [[Commonwealth of the Philippines]],<ref name="closed">{{cite web | title=Letter of President Roxas to General MacArthur on sending a five-man Commission on Reparations | url=https://www.officialgazette.gov.ph/1947/01/06/letter-of-president-roxas-to-general-macarthur-on-sending-a-five-man-commission-on-reparations/ | work=[[Official Gazette (Philippines)|Official Gazette]] | date=January 6, 1947 | accessdate=October 24, 2021 | quote=Concerning quarters for the Philippine personnel for this Commission and others we may send in the future, will you kindly consider the possibility of housing them in the building formerly occupied by the Philippine Embassy and which has been purchased by the Puppet Republic?}}</ref> the oldest continually-operating Philippine diplomatic mission is that of the [[Embassy of the Philippines, Washington, D.C.|embassy in Washington, D.C.]], replacing the office of the [[Resident Commissioner of the Philippines]] after the country achieved independence from the United States on July 4, 1946,<ref name="closed"/> and led by [[Joaquín Miguel Elizalde]] as its first ambassador.<ref name="firstmissions">{{cite web | title=Appointments and Designations: July 1946 | url=https://www.officialgazette.gov.ph/1957/03/31/appointments-and-designations-march-31-1957/ | work=[[Official Gazette (Philippines)|Official Gazette]] | date=March 31, 1957 | accessdate=January 1, 2021}}</ref> This was followed shortly thereafter with the establishment of the permanent mission to the [[United Nations]].<ref name="firstmissions" />

A number of missions were opened in the first years after independence. In his 1947 [[State of the Nation Address (Philippines)|State of the Nation Address]] (SONA), President [[Manuel Roxas]] announced that missions in a number of other cities were also opened aside from the embassy in Washington, D.C.;<ref name="roxas-sona">{{cite web | title=State of the Nation Address of President Roxas, January 27, 1947 | url=https://www.officialgazette.gov.ph/1947/01/27/state-of-the-nation-address-of-president-roxas-january-27-1947/ | work=[[Official Gazette (Philippines)|Official Gazette]] | date=January 27, 1947 | accessdate=October 24, 2021 | quote=Consistent with our new status as a Republic, we have organized a Foreign Affairs Department and a Foreign Service, and established an embassy at Washington and consular offices in a number of places abroad.}}</ref> these included the first consulates general in [[New York City]], [[San Francisco]], and [[Honolulu]], as well as consulates in [[Xiamen]] and [[Hong Kong]].<ref name="reorg">{{cite web | title=Executive Order No. 94, s. 1947 | url=https://www.officialgazette.gov.ph/1947/10/04/executive-order-no-94-s-1947/ | work=[[Official Gazette (Philippines)|Official Gazette]] | date=October 4, 1947 | accessdate=October 24, 2021}}</ref> Additional missions were opened the following year, including the first missions in Europe (in [[London]], [[Madrid]] and [[Rome]]) and Latin America (in [[Buenos Aires]]).<ref name="specialmission">{{cite web | title=State-of-the-Nation Message of President Quirino to the Joint Session of the Congress of the Philippines | url=https://www.officialgazette.gov.ph/1949/01/24/state-of-the-nation-message-of-president-quirino-to-the-joint-session-of-the-congress-of-the-philippines/ | work=[[Official Gazette (Philippines)|Official Gazette]] | date=January 24, 1949 | accessdate=December 5, 2020 | quote=For our part, we have diplomatic establishments’ in eight nations and consular representatives in seventeen cities.

{{Spanish language}}
'''Philippine Spanish''' ({{lang-es|español filipino}} or {{lang|es|castellano filipino}}){{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=236}} is the [[Spanish dialects and varieties|variety]] of standard [[Spanish language|Spanish]] spoken in the [[Philippines]], used primarily by [[Spanish Filipino]]s.

Spanish as spoken in the Philippines contains a number of features that distinguishes it from other varieties of Spanish, combining features from both [[Peninsular Spanish|Peninsular]] and [[Spanish language in the Americas|Latin American]] varieties of the language. Philippine Spanish also employs vocabulary unique to the dialect, reflecting influence from the native [[languages of the Philippines]] as well as broader sociolinguistic trends in Spanish, and is considered to be more linguistically conservative and uniform than Spanish spoken elsewhere.

Officially regulated by the [[Philippine Academy of the Spanish Language]] (AFLE), up to a million people in the Philippines are claimed to be either proficient in or have knowledge of Spanish,<ref name="revive" /> with around 4,000 people claiming Spanish as their [[first language|native language]],<ref name="resiste" /> although estimates vary widely.

==Distribution and number of speakers==
Philippine Spanish speakers may be found nationwide, mostly in urban areas but with the largest concentration of speakers in [[Metro Manila]]. Smaller communities are found particularly in regions where the economy is dominated by large agricultural [[plantation]]s, such as the [[sugarcane]]-producing regions of [[Negros]], particularly around [[Bacolod]] and [[Dumaguete]], and in the fruit-producing regions of [[Mindanao]], particularly around [[Cagayan de Oro]] and [[Davao City]].{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=39}} Other centers where Spanish-speaking populations can be found include the cities of [[Cebu City|Cebu]], [[Iloilo City|Iloilo]] and [[Zamboanga City|Zamboanga]].{{sfn|Steinkrüger|2008|p=230}} Most native Philippine Spanish speakers are part of the country's [[middle class|middle]] and [[upper class]]es.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=39}}

Estimates as to the number of Spanish speakers in the Philippines vary widely, with estimates ranging from the thousands to the millions.{{sfn|Andrés Barrenechea|2013|p=33}} In 2014, the [[Instituto Cervantes]] (IC) estimated that there were around one million Spanish speakers in the Philippines, regardless of level of proficiency,<ref name="revive" /> while in 2023 Maria Luisa Young, professor of Spanish and head of the Department of Modern Languages at the [[Ateneo de Manila University]], estimated without confidence that around 500,000 people in the Philippines either speak or at least know Spanish.<ref name="horacervantes" /> A 2023 report by the IC, meanwhile, estimated that there are around 465,000 Spanish speakers in the Philippines, though only counting Spaniards in the Philippines as native speakers, including speakers of the various [[Chavacano]] dialects in the total, and excluding Filipinos who studied Spanish in universities before 1986.{{sfn|Gutiérrez Rivilla|2023|pp=28-30}} In the [[2020 Philippine census]], the [[Philippine Statistics Authority]] reported that only 167 households nationwide spoke Spanish at home,<ref name="psa" /> while a 2020 estimate places the number of native speakers at around 4,000 people.<ref name="resiste" />

Accurately counting Spanish speakers in the Philippines is complicated by the Philippine government not keeping updated official statistics, with the last supposedly reliable statistics on the number of speakers dating back to 2008. That estimate placed the number of native Spanish speakers at around 6,000, with an additional two million Filipinos who speak Spanish either as a second or third language and another 1.2 million Chavacano speakers, and that number possibly being larger due to increasing interest in learning Spanish among Filipinos for professional reasons.<ref name="ultimos" />

In addition to reported estimates of speakers, it is believed that there is an undetermined but significant number of Spanish [[Speaker types#Semi-speakers|semi-speaker]]s, Filipinos whose knowledge of Spanish is below that of native speakers but is considered to be superior to that of foreign students.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=39}}

===Status and future===
{{Main article|Spanish language in the Philippines}}

Compared to other Spanish varieties, Philippine Spanish is among the least studied, and many contemporary studies that claim to talk about the dialect were, in fact, either dealing with Spanish loanwords in the native [[languages of the Philippines]] or, more erroneously, to the various Chavacano dialects to which it was often mistakenly confused for.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|pp=37–38}}

Philippine Spanish has been described as being [[endangered language|endangered]],<ref name="endangered" /> with most speakers also being fluent in English and the Philippine languages, and the language having few native speakers under the age of 40,{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=39}} with many of its speakers also living outside the Philippines.{{sfn|Andrés Barrenechea|2013|p=34}} In part due to the [[History of the Philippines (1898–1946)|American colonization of the Philippines]], where English was pushed as the language of government and education, and the implementation of a [[Tagalog language|Tagalog]]-based national language (which would later become [[Filipino language|Filipino]]), use of Spanish declined, particularly after [[World War II]] when English was entrenched as the language of [[Prestige (sociolinguistics)|social prestige]].{{sfn|Steinkrüger|2008|pp=230–231}} Spanish-speaking Filipinos mostly use the language at home, with use of the language in public being limited by a lack of speakers and hostility from non-Spanish-speaking Filipinos toward the language,{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=39}} although many Filipinos who previously studied Spanish while it was still mandatory are capable of sustaining a conversation that reasonably approximates the language.{{sfn|Lipski|2012|p=307}}

This, however, contrasts with recent trends concerning Spanish in the Philippines more broadly, on the one hand due to changing attitudes toward the language among non-Spanish-speaking Filipinos,<ref name="prospects" /> and on the other due to the growing prestige of the language worldwide.{{sfn|Sánchez Jiménez|2012}} Starting in 2009 Spanish was reintroduced as part of the basic education curriculum in a number of public high schools, becoming the largest foreign language program offered by the public school system,<ref name="spfl" /> with over 7,000 students studying the language in the 2021–2022 school year alone.<ref name="estudiar" /> The [[business process outsourcing in the Philippines|local business process outsourcing industry]] has also contributed to the growing popularity of Spanish as Spanish speakers have a larger earnings potential than English speakers in the industry.<ref name="payoff" /> A new generation of Spanish speakers has since emerged as a result,{{sfn|Andrés Barrenechea|2013|pp=33–34}} most of whom are [[second language|second-language]] speakers with some learning the language to show [[Filipino nationalism|national pride]], though there exists within this group a smaller number of first-language Spanish speakers who are learning the language at home from their second-language parents.{{sfn|Andrés Barrenechea|2013|pp=33–34}}

==Phonology==
{{See also|Spanish phonology}}

[[File:Emilio Aguinaldo Speech in Spanish (1929).webm|thumb|right|A recording of [[Emilio Aguinaldo]], the first [[president of the Philippines]], delivering a speech in Spanish]]

Philippine Spanish phonology has been described as conservative and refined, reflecting the socioeconomic status of its speakers, and exhibiting features largely present in the standard dialects of [[Peninsular Spanish]] as spoken in the late 19th and early 20th centuries,{{sfn|Lipski|1986|p=78}} with little influence from dialects such as [[Andalusian Spanish|Andalusian]] or [[Canarian Spanish|Canarian]] nor from languages like [[Catalan language|Catalan]] or [[Galician language|Galician]] despite significant immigration to the Philippines from those areas of Spain.{{sfn|Lipski|1986|pp=76–77}} Nevertheless, a number of phonological traits still distinguish Philippine Spanish from Spanish spoken elsewhere as a result of earlier contact with [[Spanish language in the Americas|Latin American Spanish]] varieties, contact with the Philippine languages and the development of Chavacano.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|pp=45-46}}

Unlike with [[Philippine English]], Philippine Spanish phonology is also generally uniform, with very little (if any) dialectical variation in terms of pronunciation between speakers of Spanish from different regions of the country.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=39}}

=== Distinction between ''y'' and ''ll'' ===
As in some dialects in northern Spain and some bilingual zones (Bolivia, Paraguay, and Peru) of Latin America,<ref name="ll" /> Philippine Spanish has a phonological distinction between the sounds represented by ''ll'' ({{IPA|/ʎ/}}) and ''y'' ({{IPA|/ʝ/}}).{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=41}}{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=94}} For example, {{Wikt-lang|es|calle}} ({{gloss|street}}) is pronounced {{IPA|/ˈkaʎe/}} (Tagalog {{Wikt-lang|tl|kalye}}) as opposed to the pronunciation {{IPA|/ˈkaʝe/}} found in most other present-day Spanish varieties.{{sfn|Quilis|1992|p=130}} The phoneme {{IPA|/ʎ/}} may be realized closer to {{IPA|[lj]}} in the pronunciation of some younger Philippine Spanish speakers.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=41}} Sometimes {{IPA|/ʎ/}} is depalatalized to {{IPA|[l]}} in word-initial positions: for example, {{Wikt-lang|es|lluvia}} ({{gloss|rain}}), normally pronounced {{IPA|/ˈʎubia/}}, is pronounced {{IPA|[ˈlubja]}}.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=95}}

While ''[[yeísmo]]'', which merges the two, is today considered extremely rare and idiosyncratic in Philippine Spanish,{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=41}} it has been suggested that a more ''yeísta'' pronunciation was previously standard owing to the influence of both Andalusian and [[Mexican Spanish]] speakers in the 16th and 17th centuries. Speakers only shifted to a contrasting pronunciation, which was characteristic of the aristocratic Castilian pronunciation of the time, toward the end of the 19th century in the final years of Spanish colonization.{{sfn|Lipski|1986a|p=47}}

Newer generations of Spanish speakers have begun adopting phonological features closer to standard Peninsular Spanish, including ''yeísmo'', as a result of being educated in that dialect,{{sfn|Andrés Barrenechea|2013|p=43}} although the majority of those studying Spanish in the Philippines as a foreign language nonetheless continue to contrast both sounds.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=420}}

===Seseo===
Like Latin American Spanish, Philippine Spanish originally practiced ''[[Phonological history of Spanish coronal fricatives#Seseo|seseo]]'', where {{IPA|/θ/}} is normally not distinguished from {{IPA|/s/}}. This is particularly evidenced by borrowings into the Philippine languages where, for example, {{Wikt-lang|es|cerveza}} ({{gloss|beer}}), pronounced {{IPA|/seɾˈbesa/}}, became Tagalog {{Wikt-lang|tl|serbesa}}.{{sfn|Lipski|1986a|p=46}} Although ''seseo'' remains the dominant pronunciation today,{{sfn|Quilis|1993|p=13}} in a similar way to the introduction of a contrast between ''y'' and ''ll'' at the end of the 19th century, some native speakers have begun practicing ''[[Phonological history of Spanish coronal fricatives#Distinction|distinción]]'',{{sfn|Lipski|1986a|p=46}} where {{IPA|/θ/}} is distinguished from {{IPA|/s/}}, but do not always do so consistently.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=40}}

Newer generations of Spanish speakers have begun adopting ''distinción'' as a result of being educated in Peninsular Spanish, alongside a contemporary adoption of ''yeísmo''.{{sfn|Andrés Barrenechea|2013|p=43}} Among those studying Spanish in the Philippines as a foreign language, most practice ''distinción'' although a large group of students nonetheless practice ''seseo'', and among those who do practice ''distinción'', most do so inconsistently.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=418}}

===Pronunciation of plosive consonants===
The consonants {{IPA|/b/}}, {{IPA|/d/}} and {{IPA|/g/}} are uniformly pronounced as [[plosive]] (hard) consonants in Philippine Spanish, contrasting with other Spanish dialects where these are usually softened to either [[approximant]]s or [[fricative]]s.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=40}} While the softened pronunciations are also heard, this varies between speakers and even between individual phonemes.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=86}}

Of particular note is the pronunciation of [[intervocalic consonant|intervocalic]] {{IPA|/d/}}, where it can even overlap with and is occasionally pronounced as {{IPA|[ɾ]}} as is the case in the Philippine languages.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=86}} This trait has also carried over to Chavacano and has influenced how the Philippine languages have treated Spanish loans as in the case, for example, of Spanish {{Wikt-lang|es|pared}} ({{gloss|wall}}) becoming Tagalog {{Wikt-lang|tl|pader}}.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=40}}

Intervocalic {{IPA|/d/}} is also frequently [[elision|elided]], particularly with words ending in the suffix {{Wikt-lang|es|-ado}}.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=40}}

===Palatalization and affrication===
Before [[close vowel]]s ({{IPA|/i/}} and {{IPA|/u/}}), {{IPA|/d/}} and {{IPA|/t/}} are often [[palatalization (phonetics)|palatalized]] by Philippine Spanish speakers, becoming {{IPA|/dʲ/}} and {{IPA|/tʲ/}} respectively. Occasionally these would be [[Affricate#Affrication|affricated]] instead, becoming {{IPAblink|dʒ}} and {{IPAblink|tʃ}} respectively as in the case of Spanish loans to the Philippine languages. For example, {{Wikt-lang|es|Dios}} ({{gloss|God}}), normally pronounced {{IPA|/ˈdios/}}, would be pronounced {{IPA|[ˈd͡ʒos]}} (Tagalog {{Wikt-lang|tl|Diyos}}), or {{Wikt-lang|es|tiangue}} ({{gloss|open-air market}}), normally pronounced {{IPA|/ˈtjanɡe/}}, would be pronounced {{IPA|[ˈt͡ʃaŋɡe]}} (Tagalog {{Wikt-lang|tl|tiyangge}}).{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=87}}

In a similar manner, speakers also occasionally palatalize {{IPA|/s/}} to {{IPAblink|ʃ}} when placed before a close vowel. For example, {{Wikt-lang|es|negocio}} ({{gloss|business}}), normally pronounced {{IPA|/neˈɡosjo/}}, would be pronounced {{IPA|[neˈɡoʃo]}} (Tagalog {{Wikt-lang|tl|negosyo}}).{{sfn|Quilis|1992|p=187}}

===Retraction of {{IPA|/x/}} to {{IPA|[h]}}===
The velar jota sound ({{IPA|/x/}}) is present in Philippine Spanish, similar to standard Peninsular Spanish, though this is mostly retracted to glottal {{IPAblink|h}}, which also occurs in Andalusian, Caribbean, Canarian, Central American, and Colombian Spanish.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=42}}

===Merger of non-open vowels and bilabial consonants===
Often interchanged in Philippine Spanish are the non-open vowels {{IPA|/e/}} and {{IPA|/i/}}, {{IPA|/o/}} and {{IPA|/u/}},{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=82}} and the bilabial consonants {{IPA|/p/}} and {{IPA|/f/}},{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=90}} following a similar tendency in the Philippine languages.{{sfn|Quilis|1992|p=187}} For example, {{Wikt-lang|es|Filipinas}} ({{gloss|Philippines}}) would be pronounced {{IPA|[piliˈpinas]}} (Tagalog {{Wikt-lang|tl|Pilipinas}}), {{Wikt-lang|es|tenía}} ({{gloss|I had}}) would be pronounced {{IPA|[tiˈnia]}}, and {{Wikt-lang|es|comen}} ({{gloss|they eat}}) would be pronounced {{IPA|[ˈkumen]}}.{{sfn|Quilis|1992|p=186}}

===No aspiration of {{IPA|/s/}}===
Unlike many Peninsular and Latin American dialects, syllable-final {{IPA|/s/}} is always pronounced as an alveolar sibilant ({{IPAblink|s}}), rather than a glottal fricative ({{IPAblink|h}}). For example, {{Wikt-lang|es|mosca|las moscas}} ({{gloss|flies}}, as in [[Fly|the insect]]) is always pronounced {{IPA|[las ˈmoskas]}}.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=91}} The retention of ''s'' is reflective of the influence of northern Peninsular Spanish dialects, although it is considered an unusual development in Philippine Spanish given the large number of Andalusian Spanish speakers among the last wave of Spanish migrants to the Philippines.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=40}}

In contrast, Chavacano speakers do practice syllable-final S-dropping, most notably among older Zamboagueño speakers.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=41}}

===Glottal stop===
As a result of contact with the Philippine languages, the [[glottal stop]] {{IPA|[ʔ]}} regularly manifests in the speech of most (if not all) Philippine Spanish speakers, and is normally found in word-initial positions where the pronunciation begins with a vowel.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|pp=42–43}} For example, {{Wikt-lang|es|alma}} ({{gloss|spirit}}) would be pronounced {{IPA|[ˈʔalma]}}.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=83}} This is also present when the word is preceded by a pause, which in other Spanish dialects would be subject to consonantal linking (similar to the ''[[liaison (French)|liaison]]'' in French). For example, {{Wikt-lang|es|hombre|el hombre}} ({{gloss|the man}}) would be pronounced as {{IPA|[elˈʔombɾe]}} in Philippine Spanish but {{IPA|[eˈlombɾe]}} in other Spanish dialects.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|pp=42-43}}

The glottal stop also appears in some vowel sequences, serving to clearly delineate syllables from one another. For example, {{Wikt-lang|es|maíz}} ({{gloss|corn}}) would be pronounced {{IPA|[maˈʔis]}}, and {{Wikt-lang|es|baúl}} ({{gloss|trunk}}, as in [[Trunk (luggage)|the luggage]]) would be pronounced {{IPA|[baˈʔul]}}.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=83}}

==={{IPA|[ɾ]–[l]}} shift===
Philippine Spanish clearly distinguishes between the use of {{IPA|[ɾ]}} and {{IPA|[l]}}, similar to standard Peninsular Spanish. However, earlier speakers may have interchanged both sounds, with {{IPA|/l/}} becoming {{IPA|[ɾ]}} and {{IPA|/ɾ/}} becoming {{IPA|[l]}} as in Andalusian and Caribbean Spanish, and which was retained in the various Chavacano dialects.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=42}}

Despite this distinction certain words in the Philippine Spanish lexicon nevertheless reflect this earlier tendency to interchange both sounds, such as ''balasar'', a variant of {{Wikt-lang|es|barajar}} ({{gloss|to shuffle}}) which the dialect had preserved.{{sfn|Quilis|1992|p=191}}

===Treatment of ''tl''===
Similar to Latin American, Canarian and certain Peninsular Spanish dialects,<ref name="tl" /> Philippine Spanish pronounces the letter sequence ''tl'' in the same syllable. For example, the word {{Wikt-lang|es|atlas}} is pronounced {{IPA|[ˈa.tlas]}}, not {{IPA|[ˈat.las]}} as in standard Peninsular Spanish.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=88}}

==Morphology and syntax==
Philippine Spanish has been described as having no particularly unique morphological features,{{sfn|Quilis|1992|p=188}} although deviations from standard Spanish morphology and syntax have been reported as a result of Spanish's position as a minority language in the Philippines.{{sfn|Steinkrüger|2008|p=231}}

===Pronouns===
Alongside [[Equatoguinean Spanish]], Philippine Spanish is one of only two Spanish dialects outside of Spain to use the second-person plural pronoun ''[[Spanish personal pronouns#Use of vosotros|vosotros]]'',{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=43}} although ''ustedes'', standard in Latin America, has been reported as also being common in written texts.{{sfn|Moreno de Alba|2011|p=34}} The second-person familiar pronoun ''tú'' is also freely used, even in situations where the polite pronoun ''usted'' would be used instead,{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=43}} and while the various Chavacano dialects developed the use of ''[[voseo]]'', this development is absent in Philippine Spanish, which is exclusively ''tuteante''.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=117}}

Unlike other overseas Spanish dialects, Philippine Spanish is said to employ ''[[leísmo]]'', where the pronoun ''le'' is used when referring to third-person masculine direct objects instead of ''lo'' as is the case elsewhere,{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=43}} although others have said this only represents a minority of speakers and that Philippine Spanish speakers mostly use ''lo''.{{sfn|Quilis|1992|p=188}} However, for indirect objects, the use of ''le'' is predominant, with a minority of speakers using ''la'' (''[[loísmo|laísmo]]'').{{sfn|Quilis|1992|p=188}}

===Possession and derivation===
Indicating [[Possession (linguistics)|possession]] in Philippine Spanish is frequently expressed not through possessive adjectives, but rather by combining the object with the construction ''de'' ({{gloss|of}}) and the possessor. For example, instead of {{lang|es|nuestros parientes}} ({{gloss|our relatives}}) as in standard Spanish, Philippine Spanish speakers would often say {{lang|es|los parientes de nosotros}} ({{literal translation|the relatives of us}}).{{sfn|Quilis|1992|p=189}} This also happens with the third-person possessive pronoun ''su'', which parallels Latin American usage with speakers alternating between, for example, {{lang|es|Este perro es suyo}} ({{literal translation|This dog is theirs}}) and {{lang|es|Este perro es de él}} ({{literal translation|This dog is of him}}).{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=116}} A similar phenomenon also defines the naming of certain flora, with fruit trees sometimes being called the tree of that fruit. For example, while Spanish has an actual word for an orange tree, {{Wikt-lang|es|naranjo}}, Philippine Spanish speakers would sometimes say ''árbol de naranja'' instead.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=114}}

In expressing [[Morphological derivation|derivation]], the most commonly-used [[suffix]] for creating [[diminutive]]s in Philippine Spanish is {{Wikt-lang|es|-ito}}, although {{Wikt-lang|es|-illo}} is also encountered but less commonly.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=112}} For [[augmentative]]s, the most commonly-used suffix is {{Wikt-lang|es|-ón}}, followed by {{Wikt-lang|es|-azo}} and {{Wikt-lang|es|-ote}} in order of frequency.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=113}} Meanwhile, for forming [[collective noun]]s, the most common suffix is {{Wikt-lang|es|-ada}}, followed by {{Wikt-lang|es|-aje}} when referring to people. For plants and produce, the most common suffix is {{Wikt-lang|es|-al}}, followed by {{Wikt-lang|es|-ero}} and {{Wikt-lang|es|-ar}}, but [[noun phrase]]s formed by combining the name of the plant or produce, either with or without the standard suffixes depending on the plant or produce being discussed, with ''plantación (de)'' ({{gloss|plantation [of]}}), ''campo (de)'' ({{gloss|field [of]}}) or ''sementera (de)'' ({{gloss|land sown with}}) are also commonly employed.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=114}}

===Negation===
In certain cases, Philippine Spanish expresses [[Affirmation and negation#Negation|negation]] in a manner broadly similar to other Spanish varieties. For example, the determiner {{Wikt-lang|es|más}} ({{gloss|more}} or {{gloss|else}}) is used to amplify {{Wikt-lang|es|nunca}} ({{gloss|never}}), {{Wikt-lang|es|nadie}} ({{gloss|no one}}), {{Wikt-lang|es|nada}} ({{gloss|nothing}}) and {{Wikt-lang|es|ninguno}} ({{gloss|nobody}}) and is normally found in a postnominal (after the word) position, but occasionally this is reversed by Philippine Spanish speakers with ''más'' appearing in the prenominal (before the word) position.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=124}}

Other cases exhibit deviations from standard Spanish usage. The negative adverbial phrase ''no más'' ("no more"), for example, is used in one of three ways in Philippine Spanish:{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|pp=124–125}}

*To express exactness (''Lo tiene al lado mismo no más''; {{literal translation|He/she has it exactly right next to him/her}}).
*As an emphatic suffix (''Estaba bromeando no más''; {{literal translation|I was only joking}}). This use of ''no más'' is also found in Latin American Spanish, and is equivalent to the use of {{Wikt-lang|es|solo}} or {{Wikt-lang|es|solamente}} in standard Spanish.<ref name="nomás" />
*To express finiteness (''No hay más carruajes''; {{literal translation|There aren't carriages any more}}). This use of ''no más'' may have come about as a result of English influence, and is equivalent to the use of {{Wikt-lang|es|ya no}} in other Spanish varieties.

Adverbial ''no'' is also regularly paired with other adverbs to express negation, even if the pairing would be considered redundant in standard Spanish. For example, Philippine Spanish speakers often pair adverbial ''no'' with {{Wikt-lang|es|tan}} and {{Wikt-lang|es|tanto}} (or even {{Wikt-lang|es|tantito}}), both implying extent, as a substitute for ''no muy'' ({{gloss|not very}}) and ''no mucho'' ({{gloss|not much}}) respectively.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=125}} In a similar manner, Philippine Spanish speakers also often substitute {{Wikt-lang|es|tampoco}} ({{gloss|neither}}) with ''también no'' ({{literal translation|also no}}),{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|pp=125–126}} which is normally considered incorrect in standard Spanish,<ref name="tambien" /> and even ''tampoco'' itself is paired with ''no'' to create the redundant [[double negative]] ''tampoco no'' ({{literal translation|neither no}}),{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|pp=125-126}} which in standard Spanish is likewise normally considered incorrect.<ref name="tampoco" />

==Vocabulary==
[[File:Selection of Philippine literature in Spanish.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Selected books from the corpus of [[Philippine literature in Spanish]], both historical and contemporary]]
{{See also|List of Spanish words of Austronesian origin}}

Over the centuries Philippine Spanish has developed a corpus of ''filipinismos'' ({{literal translation|Philippinisms}}), vocabulary and expressions that are unique to the dialect, of which some have even entered Spanish more broadly and others which have influenced the native languages of the Philippines. Philippinisms in Philippine Spanish are usually derived from a number of sources: words borrowed into Spanish from the Philippine or other foreign languages, Spanish words that have since fallen out of use in Spain or in Spanish more broadly, and Spanish expressions made by Philippine Spanish speakers or are otherwise unique to the country.{{sfn|Donoso Jiménez|2018|pp=28–29}} Since the mid-20th century, the Philippine Spanish lexicon has also been significantly influenced by English, similar to the situation with Spanish in [[Puerto Rican Spanish|Puerto Rico]] and the [[Spanish language in the United States|United States]].{{sfn|Steinkrüger|2008|p=231}}

Although there are efforts in documenting ''filipinismos,'' and people studying Spanish as a foreign language today still learn and use Philippine Spanish vocabulary,{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=426}} many of them are in danger of disappearing due to the "foreignization" of Spanish language education in the Philippines (as Peninsular instead of Philippine Spanish is taught in schools), alongside poor documentation practices which lead to, among others, some expressions not being documented and some whose origin is obscured, and a lack of a stronger effort to compile a comprehensive dictionary of these expressions, or at least to include them in the ''[[Diccionario de la lengua española]]''.{{sfn|Donoso Jiménez|2018|pp=28–29}}

===From Latin American Spanish===
Philippine Spanish incorporates a number of words and expressions from Latin American Spanish varieties, most notably from Mexican Spanish but also including influences from other dialects.{{sfn|Lipski|2012|p=308}} Words like {{Wikt-lang|es|metate}},{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|Quilis-Sanz|1997|p=37}} {{Wikt-lang|es|tiangue}} and {{Wikt-lang|es|chongo}} reflect this influence, as well as the use of certain [[hypocorism]]s.{{sfn|Lipski|2012|p=308}}

Latin American influence in Philippine Spanish is also reflected in the use of Americanisms like {{Wikt-lang|es|maní}} to describe [[peanut]]s and {{Wikt-lang|es|hincar|hincarse}} to describe [[kneeling]], instead of the Peninsular Spanish equivalents {{Wikt-lang|es|cacahuete}} (or even the Mexican variant {{Wikt-lang|es|cacahuate}}) and {{Wikt-lang|es|arrodillar|arrodillarse}}.{{sfn|Lipski|2012|p=308}}

===From Peninsular Spanish===
Much of the basic vocabulary of Philippine Spanish is also derived from Peninsular Spanish. For example, Philippine Spanish uses {{Wikt-lang|es|patata}} to describe a [[potato]], the same as in Spain.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=277}} Some words do take on a different meaning in Philippine Spanish: for example, while speakers use the Latin American {{Wikt-lang|es|camarón}} to describe a [[shrimp]],{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=207}} the Peninsular equivalent {{Wikt-lang|es|gamba}} is also used but with a slightly more specialized meaning (in this case, a shrimp smaller than a ''camarón'').{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=241}}

In certain cases some words are used by speakers in a more-or-less equal proportion, such as with the Peninsular {{Wikt-lang|es|melocotón}} and the Latin American {{Wikt-lang|es|durazno}} to describe a [[peach]].{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=261}} In others, the Peninsular equivalent isn't used at all: for example, to describe an [[apartment]] the Latin American terms {{Wikt-lang|es|apartamento}} and {{Wikt-lang|es|departamento}} are used exclusively as opposed to the Peninsular {{Wikt-lang|es|piso}}.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=183}}

===From English===
{{see also|Spanglish}}
Anglicisms in Philippine Spanish can be classified into three types: those that are present in standard Spanish, those that are also found in Spanish as spoken in the United States, and a much smaller number of words that were borrowed into the language but still carry their original spelling and meaning from English. These include words like {{Wikt-lang|es|planta}} for {{gloss|plant}} (instead of {{Wikt-lang|es|fábrica}}), {{Wikt-lang|es|sugestión}} for {{gloss|suggestion}} (instead of {{Wikt-lang|es|sugerencia}}) and the direct importation of English words like {{Wikt-lang|es|avocado}}, {{Wikt-lang|es|jeepney}} and {{Wikt-lang|es|overol}} ({{gloss|overalls}}).{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=136}}

Because Spanish-speaking Filipinos are also fluent in English, English pronunciation also affects how Philippine Spanish speakers pronounce certain words. Some speakers, for example, would pronounce {{Wikt-lang|es|Europa}} ({{gloss|Europe}}) as {{IPA|[juˈɾopa]}}, as in English, instead of {{IPA|/euˈɾopa/}}.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=137}}

===Unique words and expressions===
Many words and expressions used by Spanish speakers in the Philippines are unique to Philippine Spanish, though a number of these have since entered the ''Diccionario de la lengua española'' and other publications of the [[Royal Spanish Academy]] (RAE). Some of the first ''filipinismos'' incorporated by the RAE into its publications include words like ''[[karakoa|caracoa]]'', ''[[barangay]]'' and ''[[paraw|parao]]'', which entered the broader lexicon in the late 18th and early 19th century, and the number of ''filipinismos'' has ostensibly grown over time.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|Quilis-Sanz|1997|p=8}}

Unique words and expressions in Philippine Spanish can be broadly placed into four categories:

* Words and expressions borrowed into Philippine Spanish, or even Spanish more broadly, as a result of contact with the Philippine languages (such as {{Wikt-lang|es|bolo}}, which was borrowed from the Tagalog ''[[bolo knife|bolo]]'',{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|Quilis-Sanz|1997|p=23}} or {{Wikt-lang|es|baguio}} to describe [[typhoon]]s).{{sfn|Rodríguez-Ponga|2000|p=397}} However, the extent of borrowing has varied: borrowing from the Philippine languages, or even from other languages like [[Chinese language|Chinese]], into Philippine Spanish has been described as either being mainly limited to flora and fauna, contrasting with the significant influence played by Philippine languages in the development of Chavacano,{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=44}} or as being more varied but with loans largely being limited to sociocultural domains like food.{{sfn|Flores Sigg|Ramírez Luengo|2019|pp=304–305}}
* Words and expressions that have fallen out of use in other Spanish dialects, but were retained in Philippine Spanish (such as {{Wikt-lang|es|aparador}} to describe a [[wardrobe]], whereas other Spanish dialects would use {{Wikt-lang|es|armario}},{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|Quilis-Sanz|1997|pp=17–18}} the use of {{Wikt-lang|es|aeroplano}} instead of {{Wikt-lang|es|avión}} to describe an [[airplane]],{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=176}} or the use of the dated phrase {{lang|es|¿Cuál es su gracia?}} [{{literal translation|What is your grace?}}] to ask for someone's name,{{sfn|Quilis|1993|p=10}} which has since died out in other countries)<ref name="gracia" />
* Words and expressions that have undergone a [[semantic change]] in Philippine Spanish (such as {{Wikt-lang|es|lenguaje}} to refer to a [[national language]]){{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=45}}
* Words and expressions in Philippine Spanish that were developed in the Philippines by Spanish speakers and have no (or other) equivalents in other Spanish dialects (such as {{Wikt-lang|es|abrazador}} to describe a [[bolster|bolster pillow]],{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|Quilis-Sanz|1997|p=13}} {{Wikt-lang|es|abogadillo}} to describe a [[paralegal]],{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=174}} or {{Wikt-lang|es|código}} to describe a [[cheat sheet]]){{sfn|Quilis|1992|p=192}}

Many ''filipinismos'' that are commonly used in the Philippines, such as ''[[pandesal|pan de sal]]'' and ''[[kundiman|cundimán]]'', by both Spanish and non-Spanish speakers alike have yet to be recognized by the RAE,{{sfn|Donoso Jiménez|2018|p=28}} and calls have been made for their inclusion.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=170}}

{{Spanish language}}
'''Philippine Spanish''' ({{lang-es|español filipino}} or {{lang|es|castellano filipino}}){{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=236}} is the [[Spanish dialects and varieties|variety]] of standard [[Spanish language|Spanish]] spoken in the [[Philippines]], used primarily by [[Spanish Filipino]]s.

Spanish as spoken in the Philippines contains a number of features that distinguishes it from other varieties of Spanish, combining features from both [[Peninsular Spanish|Peninsular]] and [[Spanish language in the Americas|Latin American]] varieties of the language. Philippine Spanish also employs vocabulary unique to the dialect, reflecting influence from the native [[languages of the Philippines]] as well as broader sociolinguistic trends in Spanish, and is considered to be more linguistically conservative and uniform than Spanish spoken elsewhere.

Officially regulated by the [[Philippine Academy of the Spanish Language]] (AFLE), up to a million people in the Philippines are claimed to be either proficient in or have knowledge of Spanish,<ref name="revive" /> with around 4,000 people claiming Spanish as their [[first language|native language]],<ref name="resiste" /> although estimates vary widely.

==Distribution and number of speakers==
Philippine Spanish speakers may be found nationwide, mostly in urban areas but with the largest concentration of speakers in [[Metro Manila]]. Smaller communities are found particularly in regions where the economy is dominated by large agricultural [[plantation]]s, such as the [[sugarcane]]-producing regions of [[Negros]], particularly around [[Bacolod]] and [[Dumaguete]], and in the fruit-producing regions of [[Mindanao]], particularly around [[Cagayan de Oro]] and [[Davao City]].{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=39}} Other centers where Spanish-speaking populations can be found include the cities of [[Cebu City|Cebu]], [[Iloilo City|Iloilo]] and [[Zamboanga City|Zamboanga]].{{sfn|Steinkrüger|2008|p=230}} Most native Philippine Spanish speakers are part of the country's [[middle class|middle]] and [[upper class]]es.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=39}}

Estimates as to the number of Spanish speakers in the Philippines vary widely, with estimates ranging from the thousands to the millions.{{sfn|Andrés Barrenechea|2013|p=33}} In 2014, the [[Instituto Cervantes]] (IC) estimated that there were around one million Spanish speakers in the Philippines, regardless of level of proficiency,<ref name="revive" /> while in 2023 Maria Luisa Young, professor of Spanish and head of the Department of Modern Languages at the [[Ateneo de Manila University]], estimated without confidence that around 500,000 people in the Philippines either speak or at least know Spanish.<ref name="horacervantes" /> A 2023 report by the IC, meanwhile, estimated that there are around 465,000 Spanish speakers in the Philippines, though only counting Spaniards in the Philippines as native speakers, including speakers of the various [[Chavacano]] dialects in the total, and excluding Filipinos who studied Spanish in universities before 1986.{{sfn|Gutiérrez Rivilla|2023|pp=28-30}} In the [[2020 Philippine census]], the [[Philippine Statistics Authority]] reported that only 167 households nationwide spoke Spanish at home,<ref name="psa" /> while a 2020 estimate places the number of native speakers at around 4,000 people.<ref name="resiste" />

Accurately counting Spanish speakers in the Philippines is complicated by the Philippine government not keeping updated official statistics, with the last supposedly reliable statistics on the number of speakers dating back to 2008. That estimate placed the number of native Spanish speakers at around 6,000, with an additional two million Filipinos who speak Spanish either as a second or third language and another 1.2 million Chavacano speakers, and that number possibly being larger due to increasing interest in learning Spanish among Filipinos for professional reasons.<ref name="ultimos" />

In addition to reported estimates of speakers, it is believed that there is an undetermined but significant number of Spanish [[Speaker types#Semi-speakers|semi-speaker]]s, Filipinos whose knowledge of Spanish is below that of native speakers but is considered to be superior to that of foreign students.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=39}}

===Status and future===
{{Main article|Spanish language in the Philippines}}

Compared to other Spanish varieties, Philippine Spanish is among the least studied, and many contemporary studies that claim to talk about the dialect were, in fact, either dealing with Spanish loanwords in the native [[languages of the Philippines]] or, more erroneously, to the various Chavacano dialects to which it was often mistakenly confused for.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|pp=37–38}}

Philippine Spanish has been described as being [[endangered language|endangered]],<ref name="endangered" /> with most speakers also being fluent in English and the Philippine languages, and the language having few native speakers under the age of 40,{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=39}} with many of its speakers also living outside the Philippines.{{sfn|Andrés Barrenechea|2013|p=34}} In part due to the [[History of the Philippines (1898–1946)|American colonization of the Philippines]], where English was pushed as the language of government and education, and the implementation of a [[Tagalog language|Tagalog]]-based national language (which would later become [[Filipino language|Filipino]]), use of Spanish declined, particularly after [[World War II]] when English was entrenched as the language of [[Prestige (sociolinguistics)|social prestige]].{{sfn|Steinkrüger|2008|pp=230–231}} Spanish-speaking Filipinos mostly use the language at home, with use of the language in public being limited by a lack of speakers and hostility from non-Spanish-speaking Filipinos toward the language,{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=39}} although many Filipinos who previously studied Spanish while it was still mandatory are capable of sustaining a conversation that reasonably approximates the language.{{sfn|Lipski|2012|p=307}}

This, however, contrasts with recent trends concerning Spanish in the Philippines more broadly, on the one hand due to changing attitudes toward the language among non-Spanish-speaking Filipinos,<ref name="prospects" /> and on the other due to the growing prestige of the language worldwide.{{sfn|Sánchez Jiménez|2012}} Starting in 2009 Spanish was reintroduced as part of the basic education curriculum in a number of public high schools, becoming the largest foreign language program offered by the public school system,<ref name="spfl" /> with over 7,000 students studying the language in the 2021–2022 school year alone.<ref name="estudiar" /> The [[business process outsourcing in the Philippines|local business process outsourcing industry]] has also contributed to the growing popularity of Spanish as Spanish speakers have a larger earnings potential than English speakers in the industry.<ref name="payoff" /> A new generation of Spanish speakers has since emerged as a result,{{sfn|Andrés Barrenechea|2013|pp=33–34}} most of whom are [[second language|second-language]] speakers with some learning the language to show [[Filipino nationalism|national pride]], though there exists within this group a smaller number of first-language Spanish speakers who are learning the language at home from their second-language parents.{{sfn|Andrés Barrenechea|2013|pp=33–34}}

==Phonology==
{{See also|Spanish phonology}}

[[File:Emilio Aguinaldo Speech in Spanish (1929).webm|thumb|right|A recording of [[Emilio Aguinaldo]], the first [[president of the Philippines]], delivering a speech in Spanish]]

Philippine Spanish phonology has been described as conservative and refined, reflecting the socioeconomic status of its speakers, and exhibiting features largely present in the standard dialects of [[Peninsular Spanish]] as spoken in the late 19th and early 20th centuries,{{sfn|Lipski|1986|p=78}} with little influence from dialects such as [[Andalusian Spanish|Andalusian]] or [[Canarian Spanish|Canarian]] nor from languages like [[Catalan language|Catalan]] or [[Galician language|Galician]] despite significant immigration to the Philippines from those areas of Spain.{{sfn|Lipski|1986|pp=76–77}} Nevertheless, a number of phonological traits still distinguish Philippine Spanish from Spanish spoken elsewhere as a result of earlier contact with [[Spanish language in the Americas|Latin American Spanish]] varieties, contact with the Philippine languages and the development of Chavacano.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|pp=45-46}}

Unlike with [[Philippine English]], Philippine Spanish phonology is also generally uniform, with very little (if any) dialectical variation in terms of pronunciation between speakers of Spanish from different regions of the country.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=39}}

=== Distinction between ''y'' and ''ll'' ===
As in some dialects in northern Spain and some bilingual zones (Bolivia, Paraguay, and Peru) of Latin America,<ref name="ll" /> Philippine Spanish has a phonological distinction between the sounds represented by ''ll'' ({{IPA|/ʎ/}}) and ''y'' ({{IPA|/ʝ/}}).{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=41}}{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=94}} For example, {{Wikt-lang|es|calle}} ({{gloss|street}}) is pronounced {{IPA|/ˈkaʎe/}} (Tagalog {{Wikt-lang|tl|kalye}}) as opposed to the pronunciation {{IPA|/ˈkaʝe/}} found in most other present-day Spanish varieties.{{sfn|Quilis|1992|p=130}} The phoneme {{IPA|/ʎ/}} may be realized closer to {{IPA|[lj]}} in the pronunciation of some younger Philippine Spanish speakers.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=41}} Sometimes {{IPA|/ʎ/}} is depalatalized to {{IPA|[l]}} in word-initial positions: for example, {{Wikt-lang|es|lluvia}} ({{gloss|rain}}), normally pronounced {{IPA|/ˈʎubia/}}, is pronounced {{IPA|[ˈlubja]}}.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=95}}

While ''[[yeísmo]]'', which merges the two, is today considered extremely rare and idiosyncratic in Philippine Spanish,{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=41}} it has been suggested that a more ''yeísta'' pronunciation was previously standard owing to the influence of both Andalusian and [[Mexican Spanish]] speakers in the 16th and 17th centuries. Speakers only shifted to a contrasting pronunciation, which was characteristic of the aristocratic Castilian pronunciation of the time, toward the end of the 19th century in the final years of Spanish colonization.{{sfn|Lipski|1986a|p=47}}

Newer generations of Spanish speakers have begun adopting phonological features closer to standard Peninsular Spanish, including ''yeísmo'', as a result of being educated in that dialect,{{sfn|Andrés Barrenechea|2013|p=43}} although the majority of those studying Spanish in the Philippines as a foreign language nonetheless continue to contrast both sounds.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=420}}

===Seseo===
Like Latin American Spanish, Philippine Spanish originally practiced ''[[Phonological history of Spanish coronal fricatives#Seseo|seseo]]'', where {{IPA|/θ/}} is normally not distinguished from {{IPA|/s/}}. This is particularly evidenced by borrowings into the Philippine languages where, for example, {{Wikt-lang|es|cerveza}} ({{gloss|beer}}), pronounced {{IPA|/seɾˈbesa/}}, became Tagalog {{Wikt-lang|tl|serbesa}}.{{sfn|Lipski|1986a|p=46}} Although ''seseo'' remains the dominant pronunciation today,{{sfn|Quilis|1993|p=13}} in a similar way to the introduction of a contrast between ''y'' and ''ll'' at the end of the 19th century, some native speakers have begun practicing ''[[Phonological history of Spanish coronal fricatives#Distinction|distinción]]'',{{sfn|Lipski|1986a|p=46}} where {{IPA|/θ/}} is distinguished from {{IPA|/s/}}, but do not always do so consistently.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=40}}

Newer generations of Spanish speakers have begun adopting ''distinción'' as a result of being educated in Peninsular Spanish, alongside a contemporary adoption of ''yeísmo''.{{sfn|Andrés Barrenechea|2013|p=43}} Among those studying Spanish in the Philippines as a foreign language, most practice ''distinción'' although a large group of students nonetheless practice ''seseo'', and among those who do practice ''distinción'', most do so inconsistently.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=418}}

===Pronunciation of plosive consonants===
The consonants {{IPA|/b/}}, {{IPA|/d/}} and {{IPA|/g/}} are uniformly pronounced as [[plosive]] (hard) consonants in Philippine Spanish, contrasting with other Spanish dialects where these are usually softened to either [[approximant]]s or [[fricative]]s.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=40}} While the softened pronunciations are also heard, this varies between speakers and even between individual phonemes.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=86}}

Of particular note is the pronunciation of [[intervocalic consonant|intervocalic]] {{IPA|/d/}}, where it can even overlap with and is occasionally pronounced as {{IPA|[ɾ]}} as is the case in the Philippine languages.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=86}} This trait has also carried over to Chavacano and has influenced how the Philippine languages have treated Spanish loans as in the case, for example, of Spanish {{Wikt-lang|es|pared}} ({{gloss|wall}}) becoming Tagalog {{Wikt-lang|tl|pader}}.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=40}}

Intervocalic {{IPA|/d/}} is also frequently [[elision|elided]], particularly with words ending in the suffix {{Wikt-lang|es|-ado}}.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=40}}

===Palatalization and affrication===
Before [[close vowel]]s ({{IPA|/i/}} and {{IPA|/u/}}), {{IPA|/d/}} and {{IPA|/t/}} are often [[palatalization (phonetics)|palatalized]] by Philippine Spanish speakers, becoming {{IPA|/dʲ/}} and {{IPA|/tʲ/}} respectively. Occasionally these would be [[Affricate#Affrication|affricated]] instead, becoming {{IPAblink|dʒ}} and {{IPAblink|tʃ}} respectively as in the case of Spanish loans to the Philippine languages. For example, {{Wikt-lang|es|Dios}} ({{gloss|God}}), normally pronounced {{IPA|/ˈdios/}}, would be pronounced {{IPA|[ˈd͡ʒos]}} (Tagalog {{Wikt-lang|tl|Diyos}}), or {{Wikt-lang|es|tiangue}} ({{gloss|open-air market}}), normally pronounced {{IPA|/ˈtjanɡe/}}, would be pronounced {{IPA|[ˈt͡ʃaŋɡe]}} (Tagalog {{Wikt-lang|tl|tiyangge}}).{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=87}}

In a similar manner, speakers also occasionally palatalize {{IPA|/s/}} to {{IPAblink|ʃ}} when placed before a close vowel. For example, {{Wikt-lang|es|negocio}} ({{gloss|business}}), normally pronounced {{IPA|/neˈɡosjo/}}, would be pronounced {{IPA|[neˈɡoʃo]}} (Tagalog {{Wikt-lang|tl|negosyo}}).{{sfn|Quilis|1992|p=187}}

===Retraction of {{IPA|/x/}} to {{IPA|[h]}}===
The velar jota sound ({{IPA|/x/}}) is present in Philippine Spanish, similar to standard Peninsular Spanish, though this is mostly retracted to glottal {{IPAblink|h}}, which also occurs in Andalusian, Caribbean, Canarian, Central American, and Colombian Spanish.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=42}}

===Merger of non-open vowels and bilabial consonants===
Often interchanged in Philippine Spanish are the non-open vowels {{IPA|/e/}} and {{IPA|/i/}}, {{IPA|/o/}} and {{IPA|/u/}},{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=82}} and the bilabial consonants {{IPA|/p/}} and {{IPA|/f/}},{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=90}} following a similar tendency in the Philippine languages.{{sfn|Quilis|1992|p=187}} For example, {{Wikt-lang|es|Filipinas}} ({{gloss|Philippines}}) would be pronounced {{IPA|[piliˈpinas]}} (Tagalog {{Wikt-lang|tl|Pilipinas}}), {{Wikt-lang|es|tenía}} ({{gloss|I had}}) would be pronounced {{IPA|[tiˈnia]}}, and {{Wikt-lang|es|comen}} ({{gloss|they eat}}) would be pronounced {{IPA|[ˈkumen]}}.{{sfn|Quilis|1992|p=186}}

===No aspiration of {{IPA|/s/}}===
Unlike many Peninsular and Latin American dialects, syllable-final {{IPA|/s/}} is always pronounced as an alveolar sibilant ({{IPAblink|s}}), rather than a glottal fricative ({{IPAblink|h}}). For example, {{Wikt-lang|es|mosca|las moscas}} ({{gloss|flies}}, as in [[Fly|the insect]]) is always pronounced {{IPA|[las ˈmoskas]}}.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=91}} The retention of ''s'' is reflective of the influence of northern Peninsular Spanish dialects, although it is considered an unusual development in Philippine Spanish given the large number of Andalusian Spanish speakers among the last wave of Spanish migrants to the Philippines.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=40}}

In contrast, Chavacano speakers do practice syllable-final S-dropping, most notably among older Zamboagueño speakers.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=41}}

===Glottal stop===
As a result of contact with the Philippine languages, the [[glottal stop]] {{IPA|[ʔ]}} regularly manifests in the speech of most (if not all) Philippine Spanish speakers, and is normally found in word-initial positions where the pronunciation begins with a vowel.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|pp=42–43}} For example, {{Wikt-lang|es|alma}} ({{gloss|spirit}}) would be pronounced {{IPA|[ˈʔalma]}}.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=83}} This is also present when the word is preceded by a pause, which in other Spanish dialects would be subject to consonantal linking (similar to the ''[[liaison (French)|liaison]]'' in French). For example, {{Wikt-lang|es|hombre|el hombre}} ({{gloss|the man}}) would be pronounced as {{IPA|[elˈʔombɾe]}} in Philippine Spanish but {{IPA|[eˈlombɾe]}} in other Spanish dialects.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|pp=42-43}}

The glottal stop also appears in some vowel sequences, serving to clearly delineate syllables from one another. For example, {{Wikt-lang|es|maíz}} ({{gloss|corn}}) would be pronounced {{IPA|[maˈʔis]}}, and {{Wikt-lang|es|baúl}} ({{gloss|trunk}}, as in [[Trunk (luggage)|the luggage]]) would be pronounced {{IPA|[baˈʔul]}}.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=83}}

==={{IPA|[ɾ]–[l]}} shift===
Philippine Spanish clearly distinguishes between the use of {{IPA|[ɾ]}} and {{IPA|[l]}}, similar to standard Peninsular Spanish. However, earlier speakers may have interchanged both sounds, with {{IPA|/l/}} becoming {{IPA|[ɾ]}} and {{IPA|/ɾ/}} becoming {{IPA|[l]}} as in Andalusian and Caribbean Spanish, and which was retained in the various Chavacano dialects.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=42}}

Despite this distinction certain words in the Philippine Spanish lexicon nevertheless reflect this earlier tendency to interchange both sounds, such as ''balasar'', a variant of {{Wikt-lang|es|barajar}} ({{gloss|to shuffle}}) which the dialect had preserved.{{sfn|Quilis|1992|p=191}}

===Treatment of ''tl''===
Similar to Latin American, Canarian and certain Peninsular Spanish dialects,<ref name="tl" /> Philippine Spanish pronounces the letter sequence ''tl'' in the same syllable. For example, the word {{Wikt-lang|es|atlas}} is pronounced {{IPA|[ˈa.tlas]}}, not {{IPA|[ˈat.las]}} as in standard Peninsular Spanish.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=88}}

==Morphology and syntax==
Philippine Spanish has been described as having no particularly unique morphological features,{{sfn|Quilis|1992|p=188}} although deviations from standard Spanish morphology and syntax have been reported as a result of Spanish's position as a minority language in the Philippines.{{sfn|Steinkrüger|2008|p=231}}

===Pronouns===
Alongside [[Equatoguinean Spanish]], Philippine Spanish is one of only two Spanish dialects outside of Spain to use the second-person plural pronoun ''[[Spanish personal pronouns#Use of vosotros|vosotros]]'',{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=43}} although ''ustedes'', standard in Latin America, has been reported as also being common in written texts.{{sfn|Moreno de Alba|2011|p=34}} The second-person familiar pronoun ''tú'' is also freely used, even in situations where the polite pronoun ''usted'' would be used instead,{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=43}} and while the various Chavacano dialects developed the use of ''[[voseo]]'', this development is absent in Philippine Spanish, which is exclusively ''tuteante''.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=117}}

Unlike other overseas Spanish dialects, Philippine Spanish is said to employ ''[[leísmo]]'', where the pronoun ''le'' is used when referring to third-person masculine direct objects instead of ''lo'' as is the case elsewhere,{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=43}} although others have said this only represents a minority of speakers and that Philippine Spanish speakers mostly use ''lo''.{{sfn|Quilis|1992|p=188}} However, for indirect objects, the use of ''le'' is predominant, with a minority of speakers using ''la'' (''[[loísmo|laísmo]]'').{{sfn|Quilis|1992|p=188}}

===Possession and derivation===
Indicating [[Possession (linguistics)|possession]] in Philippine Spanish is frequently expressed not through possessive adjectives, but rather by combining the object with the construction ''de'' ({{gloss|of}}) and the possessor. For example, instead of {{lang|es|nuestros parientes}} ({{gloss|our relatives}}) as in standard Spanish, Philippine Spanish speakers would often say {{lang|es|los parientes de nosotros}} ({{literal translation|the relatives of us}}).{{sfn|Quilis|1992|p=189}} This also happens with the third-person possessive pronoun ''su'', which parallels Latin American usage with speakers alternating between, for example, {{lang|es|Este perro es suyo}} ({{literal translation|This dog is theirs}}) and {{lang|es|Este perro es de él}} ({{literal translation|This dog is of him}}).{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=116}} A similar phenomenon also defines the naming of certain flora, with fruit trees sometimes being called the tree of that fruit. For example, while Spanish has an actual word for an orange tree, {{Wikt-lang|es|naranjo}}, Philippine Spanish speakers would sometimes say ''árbol de naranja'' instead.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=114}}

In expressing [[Morphological derivation|derivation]], the most commonly-used [[suffix]] for creating [[diminutive]]s in Philippine Spanish is {{Wikt-lang|es|-ito}}, although {{Wikt-lang|es|-illo}} is also encountered but less commonly.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=112}} For [[augmentative]]s, the most commonly-used suffix is {{Wikt-lang|es|-ón}}, followed by {{Wikt-lang|es|-azo}} and {{Wikt-lang|es|-ote}} in order of frequency.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=113}} Meanwhile, for forming [[collective noun]]s, the most common suffix is {{Wikt-lang|es|-ada}}, followed by {{Wikt-lang|es|-aje}} when referring to people. For plants and produce, the most common suffix is {{Wikt-lang|es|-al}}, followed by {{Wikt-lang|es|-ero}} and {{Wikt-lang|es|-ar}}, but [[noun phrase]]s formed by combining the name of the plant or produce, either with or without the standard suffixes depending on the plant or produce being discussed, with ''plantación (de)'' ({{gloss|plantation [of]}}), ''campo (de)'' ({{gloss|field [of]}}) or ''sementera (de)'' ({{gloss|land sown with}}) are also commonly employed.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=114}}

===Negation===
In certain cases, Philippine Spanish expresses [[Affirmation and negation#Negation|negation]] in a manner broadly similar to other Spanish varieties. For example, the determiner {{Wikt-lang|es|más}} ({{gloss|more}} or {{gloss|else}}) is used to amplify {{Wikt-lang|es|nunca}} ({{gloss|never}}), {{Wikt-lang|es|nadie}} ({{gloss|no one}}), {{Wikt-lang|es|nada}} ({{gloss|nothing}}) and {{Wikt-lang|es|ninguno}} ({{gloss|nobody}}) and is normally found in a postnominal (after the word) position, but occasionally this is reversed by Philippine Spanish speakers with ''más'' appearing in the prenominal (before the word) position.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=124}}

Other cases exhibit deviations from standard Spanish usage. The negative adverbial phrase ''no más'' ("no more"), for example, is used in one of three ways in Philippine Spanish:{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|pp=124–125}}

*To express exactness (''Lo tiene al lado mismo no más''; {{literal translation|He/she has it exactly right next to him/her}}).
*As an emphatic suffix (''Estaba bromeando no más''; {{literal translation|I was only joking}}). This use of ''no más'' is also found in Latin American Spanish, and is equivalent to the use of {{Wikt-lang|es|solo}} or {{Wikt-lang|es|solamente}} in standard Spanish.<ref name="nomás" />
*To express finiteness (''No hay más carruajes''; {{literal translation|There aren't carriages any more}}). This use of ''no más'' may have come about as a result of English influence, and is equivalent to the use of {{Wikt-lang|es|ya no}} in other Spanish varieties.

Adverbial ''no'' is also regularly paired with other adverbs to express negation, even if the pairing would be considered redundant in standard Spanish. For example, Philippine Spanish speakers often pair adverbial ''no'' with {{Wikt-lang|es|tan}} and {{Wikt-lang|es|tanto}} (or even {{Wikt-lang|es|tantito}}), both implying extent, as a substitute for ''no muy'' ({{gloss|not very}}) and ''no mucho'' ({{gloss|not much}}) respectively.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=125}} In a similar manner, Philippine Spanish speakers also often substitute {{Wikt-lang|es|tampoco}} ({{gloss|neither}}) with ''también no'' ({{literal translation|also no}}),{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|pp=125–126}} which is normally considered incorrect in standard Spanish,<ref name="tambien" /> and even ''tampoco'' itself is paired with ''no'' to create the redundant [[double negative]] ''tampoco no'' ({{literal translation|neither no}}),{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|pp=125-126}} which in standard Spanish is likewise normally considered incorrect.<ref name="tampoco" />

==Vocabulary==
[[File:Selection of Philippine literature in Spanish.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Selected books from the corpus of [[Philippine literature in Spanish]], both historical and contemporary]]
{{See also|List of Spanish words of Austronesian origin}}

Over the centuries Philippine Spanish has developed a corpus of ''filipinismos'' ({{literal translation|Philippinisms}}), vocabulary and expressions that are unique to the dialect, of which some have even entered Spanish more broadly and others which have influenced the native languages of the Philippines. Philippinisms in Philippine Spanish are usually derived from a number of sources: words borrowed into Spanish from the Philippine or other foreign languages, Spanish words that have since fallen out of use in Spain or in Spanish more broadly, and Spanish expressions made by Philippine Spanish speakers or are otherwise unique to the country.{{sfn|Donoso Jiménez|2018|pp=28–29}} Since the mid-20th century, the Philippine Spanish lexicon has also been significantly influenced by English, similar to the situation with Spanish in [[Puerto Rican Spanish|Puerto Rico]] and the [[Spanish language in the United States|United States]].{{sfn|Steinkrüger|2008|p=231}}

Although there are efforts in documenting ''filipinismos,'' and people studying Spanish as a foreign language today still learn and use Philippine Spanish vocabulary,{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=426}} many of them are in danger of disappearing due to the "foreignization" of Spanish language education in the Philippines (as Peninsular instead of Philippine Spanish is taught in schools), alongside poor documentation practices which lead to, among others, some expressions not being documented and some whose origin is obscured, and a lack of a stronger effort to compile a comprehensive dictionary of these expressions, or at least to include them in the ''[[Diccionario de la lengua española]]''.{{sfn|Donoso Jiménez|2018|pp=28–29}}

===From Latin American Spanish===
Philippine Spanish incorporates a number of words and expressions from Latin American Spanish varieties, most notably from Mexican Spanish but also including influences from other dialects.{{sfn|Lipski|2012|p=308}} Words like {{Wikt-lang|es|metate}},{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|Quilis-Sanz|1997|p=37}} {{Wikt-lang|es|tiangue}} and {{Wikt-lang|es|chongo}} reflect this influence, as well as the use of certain [[hypocorism]]s.{{sfn|Lipski|2012|p=308}}

Latin American influence in Philippine Spanish is also reflected in the use of Americanisms like {{Wikt-lang|es|maní}} to describe [[peanut]]s and {{Wikt-lang|es|hincar|hincarse}} to describe [[kneeling]], instead of the Peninsular Spanish equivalents {{Wikt-lang|es|cacahuete}} (or even the Mexican variant {{Wikt-lang|es|cacahuate}}) and {{Wikt-lang|es|arrodillar|arrodillarse}}.{{sfn|Lipski|2012|p=308}}

===From Peninsular Spanish===
Much of the basic vocabulary of Philippine Spanish is also derived from Peninsular Spanish. For example, Philippine Spanish uses {{Wikt-lang|es|patata}} to describe a [[potato]], the same as in Spain.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=277}} Some words do take on a different meaning in Philippine Spanish: for example, while speakers use the Latin American {{Wikt-lang|es|camarón}} to describe a [[shrimp]],{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=207}} the Peninsular equivalent {{Wikt-lang|es|gamba}} is also used but with a slightly more specialized meaning (in this case, a shrimp smaller than a ''camarón'').{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=241}}

In certain cases some words are used by speakers in a more-or-less equal proportion, such as with the Peninsular {{Wikt-lang|es|melocotón}} and the Latin American {{Wikt-lang|es|durazno}} to describe a [[peach]].{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=261}} In others, the Peninsular equivalent isn't used at all: for example, to describe an [[apartment]] the Latin American terms {{Wikt-lang|es|apartamento}} and {{Wikt-lang|es|departamento}} are used exclusively as opposed to the Peninsular {{Wikt-lang|es|piso}}.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=183}}

===From English===
{{see also|Spanglish}}
Anglicisms in Philippine Spanish can be classified into three types: those that are present in standard Spanish, those that are also found in Spanish as spoken in the United States, and a much smaller number of words that were borrowed into the language but still carry their original spelling and meaning from English. These include words like {{Wikt-lang|es|planta}} for {{gloss|plant}} (instead of {{Wikt-lang|es|fábrica}}), {{Wikt-lang|es|sugestión}} for {{gloss|suggestion}} (instead of {{Wikt-lang|es|sugerencia}}) and the direct importation of English words like {{Wikt-lang|es|avocado}}, {{Wikt-lang|es|jeepney}} and {{Wikt-lang|es|overol}} ({{gloss|overalls}}).{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=136}}

Because Spanish-speaking Filipinos are also fluent in English, English pronunciation also affects how Philippine Spanish speakers pronounce certain words. Some speakers, for example, would pronounce {{Wikt-lang|es|Europa}} ({{gloss|Europe}}) as {{IPA|[juˈɾopa]}}, as in English, instead of {{IPA|/euˈɾopa/}}.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=137}}

===Unique words and expressions===
Many words and expressions used by Spanish speakers in the Philippines are unique to Philippine Spanish, though a number of these have since entered the ''Diccionario de la lengua española'' and other publications of the [[Royal Spanish Academy]] (RAE). Some of the first ''filipinismos'' incorporated by the RAE into its publications include words like ''[[karakoa|caracoa]]'', ''[[barangay]]'' and ''[[paraw|parao]]'', which entered the broader lexicon in the late 18th and early 19th century, and the number of ''filipinismos'' has ostensibly grown over time.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|Quilis-Sanz|1997|p=8}}

Unique words and expressions in Philippine Spanish can be broadly placed into four categories:

* Words and expressions borrowed into Philippine Spanish, or even Spanish more broadly, as a result of contact with the Philippine languages (such as {{Wikt-lang|es|bolo}}, which was borrowed from the Tagalog ''[[bolo knife|bolo]]'',{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|Quilis-Sanz|1997|p=23}} or {{Wikt-lang|es|baguio}} to describe [[typhoon]]s).{{sfn|Rodríguez-Ponga|2000|p=397}} However, the extent of borrowing has varied: borrowing from the Philippine languages, or even from other languages like [[Chinese language|Chinese]], into Philippine Spanish has been described as either being mainly limited to flora and fauna, contrasting with the significant influence played by Philippine languages in the development of Chavacano,{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=44}} or as being more varied but with loans largely being limited to sociocultural domains like food.{{sfn|Flores Sigg|Ramírez Luengo|2019|pp=304–305}}
* Words and expressions that have fallen out of use in other Spanish dialects, but were retained in Philippine Spanish (such as {{Wikt-lang|es|aparador}} to describe a [[wardrobe]], whereas other Spanish dialects would use {{Wikt-lang|es|armario}},{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|Quilis-Sanz|1997|pp=17–18}} the use of {{Wikt-lang|es|aeroplano}} instead of {{Wikt-lang|es|avión}} to describe an [[airplane]],{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=176}} or the use of the dated phrase {{lang|es|¿Cuál es su gracia?}} [{{literal translation|What is your grace?}}] to ask for someone's name,{{sfn|Quilis|1993|p=10}} which has since died out in other countries)<ref name="gracia" />
* Words and expressions that have undergone a [[semantic change]] in Philippine Spanish (such as {{Wikt-lang|es|lenguaje}} to refer to a [[national language]]){{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=45}}
* Words and expressions in Philippine Spanish that were developed in the Philippines by Spanish speakers and have no (or other) equivalents in other Spanish dialects (such as {{Wikt-lang|es|abrazador}} to describe a [[bolster|bolster pillow]],{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|Quilis-Sanz|1997|p=13}} {{Wikt-lang|es|abogadillo}} to describe a [[paralegal]],{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=174}} or {{Wikt-lang|es|código}} to describe a [[cheat sheet]]){{sfn|Quilis|1992|p=192}}

Many ''filipinismos'' that are commonly used in the Philippines, such as ''[[pandesal|pan de sal]]'' and ''[[kundiman|cundimán]]'', by both Spanish and non-Spanish speakers alike have yet to be recognized by the RAE,{{sfn|Donoso Jiménez|2018|p=28}} and calls have been made for their inclusion.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=170}}

{{Spanish language}}
'''Philippine Spanish''' ({{lang-es|español filipino}} or {{lang|es|castellano filipino}}){{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=236}} is the [[Spanish dialects and varieties|variety]] of standard [[Spanish language|Spanish]] spoken in the [[Philippines]], used primarily by [[Spanish Filipino]]s.

Spanish as spoken in the Philippines contains a number of features that distinguishes it from other varieties of Spanish, combining features from both [[Peninsular Spanish|Peninsular]] and [[Spanish language in the Americas|Latin American]] varieties of the language. Philippine Spanish also employs vocabulary unique to the dialect, reflecting influence from the native [[languages of the Philippines]] as well as broader sociolinguistic trends in Spanish, and is considered to be more linguistically conservative and uniform than Spanish spoken elsewhere.

Officially regulated by the [[Philippine Academy of the Spanish Language]] (AFLE), up to a million people in the Philippines are claimed to be either proficient in or have knowledge of Spanish,<ref name="revive" /> with around 4,000 people claiming Spanish as their [[first language|native language]],<ref name="resiste" /> although estimates vary widely.

==Distribution and number of speakers==
Philippine Spanish speakers may be found nationwide, mostly in urban areas but with the largest concentration of speakers in [[Metro Manila]]. Smaller communities are found particularly in regions where the economy is dominated by large agricultural [[plantation]]s, such as the [[sugarcane]]-producing regions of [[Negros]], particularly around [[Bacolod]] and [[Dumaguete]], and in the fruit-producing regions of [[Mindanao]], particularly around [[Cagayan de Oro]] and [[Davao City]].{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=39}} Other centers where Spanish-speaking populations can be found include the cities of [[Cebu City|Cebu]], [[Iloilo City|Iloilo]] and [[Zamboanga City|Zamboanga]].{{sfn|Steinkrüger|2008|p=230}} Most native Philippine Spanish speakers are part of the country's [[middle class|middle]] and [[upper class]]es.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=39}}

Estimates as to the number of Spanish speakers in the Philippines vary widely, with estimates ranging from the thousands to the millions.{{sfn|Andrés Barrenechea|2013|p=33}} In 2014, the [[Instituto Cervantes]] (IC) estimated that there were around one million Spanish speakers in the Philippines, regardless of level of proficiency,<ref name="revive" /> while in 2023 Maria Luisa Young, professor of Spanish and head of the Department of Modern Languages at the [[Ateneo de Manila University]], estimated without confidence that around 500,000 people in the Philippines either speak or at least know Spanish.<ref name="horacervantes" /> A 2022 report by the IC, meanwhile, estimated that there are around 465,000 Spanish speakers in the Philippines, though only counting Spaniards in the Philippines as native speakers, including speakers of the various [[Chavacano]] dialects in the total, and excluding Filipinos who studied Spanish in universities before 1986.{{sfn|Gutiérrez Rivilla|2023|pp=28-30}} In the [[2020 Philippine census]], the [[Philippine Statistics Authority]] reported that only 167 households nationwide spoke Spanish at home,<ref name="psa" /> while a 2020 estimate places the number of native speakers at around 4,000 people.<ref name="resiste" />

Accurately counting Spanish speakers in the Philippines is complicated by the Philippine government not keeping updated official statistics, with the last supposedly reliable statistics on the number of speakers dating back to 2008. That estimate placed the number of native Spanish speakers at around 6,000, with an additional two million Filipinos who speak Spanish either as a second or third language and another 1.2 million Chavacano speakers, and that number possibly being larger due to increasing interest in learning Spanish among Filipinos for professional reasons.<ref name="ultimos" />

In addition to reported estimates of speakers, it is believed that there is an undetermined but significant number of Spanish [[Speaker types#Semi-speakers|semi-speaker]]s, Filipinos whose knowledge of Spanish is below that of native speakers but is considered to be superior to that of foreign students.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=39}}

===Status and future===
{{Main article|Spanish language in the Philippines}}

Compared to other Spanish varieties, Philippine Spanish is among the least studied, and many contemporary studies that claim to talk about the dialect were, in fact, either dealing with Spanish loanwords in the native [[languages of the Philippines]] or, more erroneously, to the various Chavacano dialects to which it was often mistakenly confused for.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|pp=37–38}}

Philippine Spanish has been described as being [[endangered language|endangered]],<ref name="endangered" /> with most speakers also being fluent in English and the Philippine languages, and the language having few native speakers under the age of 40,{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=39}} with many of its speakers also living outside the Philippines.{{sfn|Andrés Barrenechea|2013|p=34}} In part due to the [[History of the Philippines (1898–1946)|American colonization of the Philippines]], where English was pushed as the language of government and education, and the implementation of a [[Tagalog language|Tagalog]]-based national language (which would later become [[Filipino language|Filipino]]), use of Spanish declined, particularly after [[World War II]] when English was entrenched as the language of [[Prestige (sociolinguistics)|social prestige]].{{sfn|Steinkrüger|2008|pp=230–231}} Spanish-speaking Filipinos mostly use the language at home, with use of the language in public being limited by a lack of speakers and hostility from non-Spanish-speaking Filipinos toward the language,{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=39}} although many Filipinos who previously studied Spanish while it was still mandatory are capable of sustaining a conversation that reasonably approximates the language.{{sfn|Lipski|2012|p=307}}

This, however, contrasts with recent trends concerning Spanish in the Philippines more broadly, on the one hand due to changing attitudes toward the language among non-Spanish-speaking Filipinos,<ref name="prospects" /> and on the other due to the growing prestige of the language worldwide.{{sfn|Sánchez Jiménez|2012}} Starting in 2009 Spanish was reintroduced as part of the basic education curriculum in a number of public high schools, becoming the largest foreign language program offered by the public school system,<ref name="spfl" /> with over 7,000 students studying the language in the 2021–2022 school year alone.<ref name="estudiar" /> The [[business process outsourcing in the Philippines|local business process outsourcing industry]] has also contributed to the growing popularity of Spanish as Spanish speakers have a larger earnings potential than English speakers in the industry.<ref name="payoff" /> A new generation of Spanish speakers has since emerged as a result,{{sfn|Andrés Barrenechea|2013|pp=33–34}} most of whom are [[second language|second-language]] speakers with some learning the language to show [[Filipino nationalism|national pride]], though there exists within this group a smaller number of first-language Spanish speakers who are learning the language at home from their second-language parents.{{sfn|Andrés Barrenechea|2013|pp=33–34}}

Philippine Spanish phonology has been described as conservative and refined, reflecting the socioeconomic status of its speakers, and exhibiting features largely present in the standard dialects of [[Peninsular Spanish]] as spoken in the late 19th and early 20th centuries,{{sfn|Lipski|1986|p=78}} with little influence from dialects such as [[Andalusian Spanish|Andalusian]] or [[Canarian Spanish|Canarian]] nor from languages like [[Catalan language|Catalan]] or [[Galician language|Galician]] despite significant immigration to the Philippines from those areas of Spain.{{sfn|Lipski|1986|pp=76–77}} Nevertheless, a number of phonological traits still distinguish Philippine Spanish from Spanish spoken elsewhere as a result of earlier contact with [[Spanish language in the Americas|Latin American Spanish]] varieties, contact with the Philippine languages and the development of Chavacano.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|pp=45-46}}

Unlike with [[Philippine English]], Philippine Spanish phonology is also generally uniform, with very little (if any) dialectical variation in terms of pronunciation between speakers of Spanish from different regions of the country.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=39}}

=== Distinction between ''y'' and ''ll'' ===
As in some dialects in northern Spain and some bilingual zones (Bolivia, Paraguay, and Peru) of Latin America,<ref name="ll" /> Philippine Spanish has a phonological distinction between the sounds represented by ''ll'' ({{IPA|/ʎ/}}) and ''y'' ({{IPA|/ʝ/}}).{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=41}}{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=94}} For example, {{Wikt-lang|es|calle}} ({{gloss|street}}) is pronounced {{IPA|/ˈkaʎe/}} (Tagalog {{Wikt-lang|tl|kalye}}) as opposed to the pronunciation {{IPA|/ˈkaʝe/}} found in most other present-day Spanish varieties.{{sfn|Quilis|1992|p=130}} The phoneme {{IPA|/ʎ/}} may be realized closer to {{IPA|[lj]}} in the pronunciation of some younger Philippine Spanish speakers.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=41}} Sometimes {{IPA|/ʎ/}} is depalatalized to {{IPA|[l]}} in word-initial positions: for example, {{Wikt-lang|es|lluvia}} ({{gloss|rain}}), normally pronounced {{IPA|/ˈʎubia/}}, is pronounced {{IPA|[ˈlubja]}}.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=95}}

While ''[[yeísmo]]'', which merges the two, is today considered extremely rare and idiosyncratic in Philippine Spanish,{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=41}} it has been suggested that a more ''yeísta'' pronunciation was previously standard owing to the influence of both Andalusian and [[Mexican Spanish]] speakers in the 16th and 17th centuries. Speakers only shifted to a contrasting pronunciation, which was characteristic of the aristocratic Castilian pronunciation of the time, toward the end of the 19th century in the final years of Spanish colonization.{{sfn|Lipski|1986a|p=47}}

Newer generations of Spanish speakers have begun adopting phonological features closer to standard Peninsular Spanish, including ''yeísmo'', as a result of being educated in that dialect,{{sfn|Andrés Barrenechea|2013|p=43}} although the majority of those studying Spanish in the Philippines as a foreign language nonetheless continue to contrast both sounds.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=420}}

===Seseo===
Like Latin American Spanish, Philippine Spanish originally practiced ''[[Phonological history of Spanish coronal fricatives#Seseo|seseo]]'', where {{IPA|/θ/}} is normally not distinguished from {{IPA|/s/}}. This is particularly evidenced by borrowings into the Philippine languages where, for example, {{Wikt-lang|es|cerveza}} ({{gloss|beer}}), pronounced {{IPA|/seɾˈbesa/}}, became Tagalog {{Wikt-lang|tl|serbesa}}.{{sfn|Lipski|1986a|p=46}} Although ''seseo'' remains the dominant pronunciation today,{{sfn|Quilis|1993|p=13}} in a similar way to the introduction of a contrast between ''y'' and ''ll'' at the end of the 19th century, some native speakers have begun practicing ''[[Phonological history of Spanish coronal fricatives#Distinction|distinción]]'',{{sfn|Lipski|1986a|p=46}} where {{IPA|/θ/}} is distinguished from {{IPA|/s/}}, but do not always do so consistently.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=40}}

Newer generations of Spanish speakers have begun adopting ''distinción'' as a result of being educated in Peninsular Spanish, alongside a contemporary adoption of ''yeísmo''.{{sfn|Andrés Barrenechea|2013|p=43}} Among those studying Spanish in the Philippines as a foreign language, most practice ''distinción'' although a large group of students nonetheless practice ''seseo'', and among those who do practice ''distinción'', most do so inconsistently.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=418}}

===Pronunciation of plosive consonants===
The consonants {{IPA|/b/}}, {{IPA|/d/}} and {{IPA|/g/}} are uniformly pronounced as [[plosive]] (hard) consonants in Philippine Spanish, contrasting with other Spanish dialects where these are usually softened to either [[approximant]]s or [[fricative]]s.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=40}} While the softened pronunciations are also heard, this varies between speakers and even between individual phonemes.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=86}}

Of particular note is the pronunciation of [[intervocalic consonant|intervocalic]] {{IPA|/d/}}, where it can even overlap with and is occasionally pronounced as {{IPA|[ɾ]}} as is the case in the Philippine languages.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=86}} This trait has also carried over to Chavacano and has influenced how the Philippine languages have treated Spanish loans as in the case, for example, of Spanish {{Wikt-lang|es|pared}} ({{gloss|wall}}) becoming Tagalog {{Wikt-lang|tl|pader}}.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=40}}

Intervocalic {{IPA|/d/}} is also frequently [[elision|elided]], particularly with words ending in the suffix {{Wikt-lang|es|-ado}}.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=40}}

===Palatalization and affrication===
Before [[close vowel]]s ({{IPA|/i/}} and {{IPA|/u/}}), {{IPA|/d/}} and {{IPA|/t/}} are often [[palatalization (phonetics)|palatalized]] by Philippine Spanish speakers, becoming {{IPA|/dʲ/}} and {{IPA|/tʲ/}} respectively. Occasionally these would be [[Affricate#Affrication|affricated]] instead, becoming {{IPAblink|dʒ}} and {{IPAblink|tʃ}} respectively as in the case of Spanish loans to the Philippine languages. For example, {{Wikt-lang|es|Dios}} ({{gloss|God}}), normally pronounced {{IPA|/ˈdios/}}, would be pronounced {{IPA|[ˈd͡ʒos]}} (Tagalog {{Wikt-lang|tl|Diyos}}), or {{Wikt-lang|es|tiangue}} ({{gloss|open-air market}}), normally pronounced {{IPA|/ˈtjanɡe/}}, would be pronounced {{IPA|[ˈt͡ʃaŋɡe]}} (Tagalog {{Wikt-lang|tl|tiyangge}}).{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=87}}

In a similar manner, speakers also occasionally palatalize {{IPA|/s/}} to {{IPAblink|ʃ}} when placed before a close vowel. For example, {{Wikt-lang|es|negocio}} ({{gloss|business}}), normally pronounced {{IPA|/neˈɡosjo/}}, would be pronounced {{IPA|[neˈɡoʃo]}} (Tagalog {{Wikt-lang|tl|negosyo}}).{{sfn|Quilis|1992|p=187}}

===Retraction of {{IPA|/x/}} to {{IPA|[h]}}===
The velar jota sound ({{IPA|/x/}}) is present in Philippine Spanish, similar to standard Peninsular Spanish, though this is mostly retracted to glottal {{IPAblink|h}}, which also occurs in Andalusian, Caribbean, Canarian, Central American, and Colombian Spanish.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=42}}

===Merger of non-open vowels and bilabial consonants===
Often interchanged in Philippine Spanish are the non-open vowels {{IPA|/e/}} and {{IPA|/i/}}, {{IPA|/o/}} and {{IPA|/u/}},{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=82}} and the bilabial consonants {{IPA|/p/}} and {{IPA|/f/}},{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=90}} following a similar tendency in the Philippine languages.{{sfn|Quilis|1992|p=187}} For example, {{Wikt-lang|es|Filipinas}} ({{gloss|Philippines}}) would be pronounced {{IPA|[piliˈpinas]}} (Tagalog {{Wikt-lang|tl|Pilipinas}}), {{Wikt-lang|es|tenía}} ({{gloss|I had}}) would be pronounced {{IPA|[tiˈnia]}}, and {{Wikt-lang|es|comen}} ({{gloss|they eat}}) would be pronounced {{IPA|[ˈkumen]}}.{{sfn|Quilis|1992|p=186}}

===No aspiration of {{IPA|/s/}}===
Unlike many Peninsular and Latin American dialects, syllable-final {{IPA|/s/}} is always pronounced as an alveolar sibilant ({{IPAblink|s}}), rather than a glottal fricative ({{IPAblink|h}}). For example, {{Wikt-lang|es|mosca|las moscas}} ({{gloss|flies}}, as in [[Fly|the insect]]) is always pronounced {{IPA|[las ˈmoskas]}}.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=91}} The retention of ''s'' is reflective of the influence of northern Peninsular Spanish dialects, although it is considered an unusual development in Philippine Spanish given the large number of Andalusian Spanish speakers among the last wave of Spanish migrants to the Philippines.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=40}}

In contrast, Chavacano speakers do practice syllable-final S-dropping, most notably among older Zamboagueño speakers.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=41}}

===Glottal stop===
As a result of contact with the Philippine languages, the [[glottal stop]] {{IPA|[ʔ]}} regularly manifests in the speech of most (if not all) Philippine Spanish speakers, and is normally found in word-initial positions where the pronunciation begins with a vowel.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|pp=42–43}} For example, {{Wikt-lang|es|alma}} ({{gloss|spirit}}) would be pronounced {{IPA|[ˈʔalma]}}.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=83}} This is also present when the word is preceded by a pause, which in other Spanish dialects would be subject to consonantal linking (similar to the ''[[liaison (French)|liaison]]'' in French). For example, {{Wikt-lang|es|hombre|el hombre}} ({{gloss|the man}}) would be pronounced as {{IPA|[elˈʔombɾe]}} in Philippine Spanish but {{IPA|[eˈlombɾe]}} in other Spanish dialects.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|pp=42-43}}

The glottal stop also appears in some vowel sequences, serving to clearly delineate syllables from one another. For example, {{Wikt-lang|es|maíz}} ({{gloss|corn}}) would be pronounced {{IPA|[maˈʔis]}}, and {{Wikt-lang|es|baúl}} ({{gloss|trunk}}, as in [[Trunk (luggage)|the luggage]]) would be pronounced {{IPA|[baˈʔul]}}.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=83}}

==={{IPA|[ɾ]–[l]}} shift===
Philippine Spanish clearly distinguishes between the use of {{IPA|[ɾ]}} and {{IPA|[l]}}, similar to standard Peninsular Spanish. However, earlier speakers may have interchanged both sounds, with {{IPA|/l/}} becoming {{IPA|[ɾ]}} and {{IPA|/ɾ/}} becoming {{IPA|[l]}} as in Andalusian and Caribbean Spanish, and which was retained in the various Chavacano dialects.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=42}}

Despite this distinction certain words in the Philippine Spanish lexicon nevertheless reflect this earlier tendency to interchange both sounds, such as ''balasar'', a variant of {{Wikt-lang|es|barajar}} ({{gloss|to shuffle}}) which the dialect had preserved.{{sfn|Quilis|1992|p=191}}

===Treatment of ''tl''===
Similar to Latin American, Canarian and certain Peninsular Spanish dialects,<ref name="tl" /> Philippine Spanish pronounces the letter sequence ''tl'' in the same syllable. For example, the word {{Wikt-lang|es|atlas}} is pronounced {{IPA|[ˈa.tlas]}}, not {{IPA|[ˈat.las]}} as in standard Peninsular Spanish.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=88}}

==Morphology and syntax==
Philippine Spanish has been described as having no particularly unique morphological features,{{sfn|Quilis|1992|p=188}} although deviations from standard Spanish morphology and syntax have been reported as a result of Spanish's position as a minority language in the Philippines.{{sfn|Steinkrüger|2008|p=231}}

===Pronouns===
Alongside [[Equatoguinean Spanish]], Philippine Spanish is one of only two Spanish dialects outside of Spain to use the second-person plural pronoun ''[[Spanish personal pronouns#Use of vosotros|vosotros]]'',{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=43}} although ''ustedes'', standard in Latin America, has been reported as also being common in written texts.{{sfn|Moreno de Alba|2011|p=34}} The second-person familiar pronoun ''tú'' is also freely used, even in situations where the polite pronoun ''usted'' would be used instead,{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=43}} and while the various Chavacano dialects developed the use of ''[[voseo]]'', this development is absent in Philippine Spanish, which is exclusively ''tuteante''.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=117}}

Unlike other overseas Spanish dialects, Philippine Spanish is said to employ ''[[leísmo]]'', where the pronoun ''le'' is used when referring to third-person masculine direct objects instead of ''lo'' as is the case elsewhere,{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=43}} although others have said this only represents a minority of speakers and that Philippine Spanish speakers mostly use ''lo''.{{sfn|Quilis|1992|p=188}} However, for indirect objects, the use of ''le'' is predominant, with a minority of speakers using ''la'' (''[[loísmo|laísmo]]'').{{sfn|Quilis|1992|p=188}}

===Possession and derivation===
Indicating [[Possession (linguistics)|possession]] in Philippine Spanish is frequently expressed not through possessive adjectives, but rather by combining the object with the construction ''de'' ({{gloss|of}}) and the possessor. For example, instead of {{lang|es|nuestros parientes}} ({{gloss|our relatives}}) as in standard Spanish, Philippine Spanish speakers would often say {{lang|es|los parientes de nosotros}} ({{literal translation|the relatives of us}}).{{sfn|Quilis|1992|p=189}} This also happens with the third-person possessive pronoun ''su'', which parallels Latin American usage with speakers alternating between, for example, {{lang|es|Este perro es suyo}} ({{literal translation|This dog is theirs}}) and {{lang|es|Este perro es de él}} ({{literal translation|This dog is of him}}).{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=116}} A similar phenomenon also defines the naming of certain flora, with fruit trees sometimes being called the tree of that fruit. For example, while Spanish has an actual word for an orange tree, {{Wikt-lang|es|naranjo}}, Philippine Spanish speakers would sometimes say ''árbol de naranja'' instead.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=114}}

In expressing [[Morphological derivation|derivation]], the most commonly-used [[suffix]] for creating [[diminutive]]s in Philippine Spanish is {{Wikt-lang|es|-ito}}, although {{Wikt-lang|es|-illo}} is also encountered but less commonly.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=112}} For [[augmentative]]s, the most commonly-used suffix is {{Wikt-lang|es|-ón}}, followed by {{Wikt-lang|es|-azo}} and {{Wikt-lang|es|-ote}} in order of frequency.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=113}} Meanwhile, for forming [[collective noun]]s, the most common suffix is {{Wikt-lang|es|-ada}}, followed by {{Wikt-lang|es|-aje}} when referring to people. For plants and produce, the most common suffix is {{Wikt-lang|es|-al}}, followed by {{Wikt-lang|es|-ero}} and {{Wikt-lang|es|-ar}}, but [[noun phrase]]s formed by combining the name of the plant or produce, either with or without the standard suffixes depending on the plant or produce being discussed, with ''plantación (de)'' ({{gloss|plantation [of]}}), ''campo (de)'' ({{gloss|field [of]}}) or ''sementera (de)'' ({{gloss|land sown with}}) are also commonly employed.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=114}}

===Negation===
In certain cases, Philippine Spanish expresses [[Affirmation and negation#Negation|negation]] in a manner broadly similar to other Spanish varieties. For example, the determiner {{Wikt-lang|es|más}} ({{gloss|more}} or {{gloss|else}}) is used to amplify {{Wikt-lang|es|nunca}} ({{gloss|never}}), {{Wikt-lang|es|nadie}} ({{gloss|no one}}), {{Wikt-lang|es|nada}} ({{gloss|nothing}}) and {{Wikt-lang|es|ninguno}} ({{gloss|nobody}}) and is normally found in a postnominal (after the word) position, but occasionally this is reversed by Philippine Spanish speakers with ''más'' appearing in the prenominal (before the word) position.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=124}}

Other cases exhibit deviations from standard Spanish usage. The negative adverbial phrase ''no más'' ("no more"), for example, is used in one of three ways in Philippine Spanish:{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|pp=124–125}}

*To express exactness (''Lo tiene al lado mismo no más''; {{literal translation|He/she has it exactly right next to him/her}}).
*As an emphatic suffix (''Estaba bromeando no más''; {{literal translation|I was only joking}}). This use of ''no más'' is also found in Latin American Spanish, and is equivalent to the use of {{Wikt-lang|es|solo}} or {{Wikt-lang|es|solamente}} in standard Spanish.<ref name="nomás" />
*To express finiteness (''No hay más carruajes''; {{literal translation|There aren't carriages any more}}). This use of ''no más'' may have come about as a result of English influence, and is equivalent to the use of {{Wikt-lang|es|ya no}} in other Spanish varieties.

Adverbial ''no'' is also regularly paired with other adverbs to express negation, even if the pairing would be considered redundant in standard Spanish. For example, Philippine Spanish speakers often pair adverbial ''no'' with {{Wikt-lang|es|tan}} and {{Wikt-lang|es|tanto}} (or even {{Wikt-lang|es|tantito}}), both implying extent, as a substitute for ''no muy'' ({{gloss|not very}}) and ''no mucho'' ({{gloss|not much}}) respectively.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=125}} In a similar manner, Philippine Spanish speakers also often substitute {{Wikt-lang|es|tampoco}} ({{gloss|neither}}) with ''también no'' ({{literal translation|also no}}),{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|pp=125–126}} which is normally considered incorrect in standard Spanish,<ref name="tambien" /> and even ''tampoco'' itself is paired with ''no'' to create the redundant [[double negative]] ''tampoco no'' ({{literal translation|neither no}}),{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|pp=125-126}} which in standard Spanish is likewise normally considered incorrect.<ref name="tampoco" />

==Vocabulary==
[[File:Selection of Philippine literature in Spanish.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Selected books from the corpus of [[Philippine literature in Spanish]], both historical and contemporary]]
{{See also|List of Spanish words of Austronesian origin}}

Over the centuries Philippine Spanish has developed a corpus of ''filipinismos'' ({{literal translation|Philippinisms}}), vocabulary and expressions that are unique to the dialect, of which some have even entered Spanish more broadly and others which have influenced the native languages of the Philippines. Philippinisms in Philippine Spanish are usually derived from a number of sources: words borrowed into Spanish from the Philippine or other foreign languages, Spanish words that have since fallen out of use in Spain or in Spanish more broadly, and Spanish expressions made by Philippine Spanish speakers or are otherwise unique to the country.{{sfn|Donoso Jiménez|2018|pp=28–29}} Since the mid-20th century, the Philippine Spanish lexicon has also been significantly influenced by English, similar to the situation with Spanish in [[Puerto Rican Spanish|Puerto Rico]] and the [[Spanish language in the United States|United States]].{{sfn|Steinkrüger|2008|p=231}}

Although there are efforts in documenting ''filipinismos,'' and people studying Spanish as a foreign language today still learn and use Philippine Spanish vocabulary,{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=426}} many of them are in danger of disappearing due to the "foreignization" of Spanish language education in the Philippines (as Peninsular instead of Philippine Spanish is taught in schools), alongside poor documentation practices which lead to, among others, some expressions not being documented and some whose origin is obscured, and a lack of a stronger effort to compile a comprehensive dictionary of these expressions, or at least to include them in the ''[[Diccionario de la lengua española]]''.{{sfn|Donoso Jiménez|2018|pp=28–29}}

===From Latin American Spanish===
Philippine Spanish incorporates a number of words and expressions from Latin American Spanish varieties, most notably from Mexican Spanish but also including influences from other dialects.{{sfn|Lipski|2012|p=308}} Words like {{Wikt-lang|es|metate}},{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|Quilis-Sanz|1997|p=37}} {{Wikt-lang|es|tiangue}} and {{Wikt-lang|es|chongo}} reflect this influence, as well as the use of certain [[hypocorism]]s.{{sfn|Lipski|2012|p=308}}

Latin American influence in Philippine Spanish is also reflected in the use of Americanisms like {{Wikt-lang|es|maní}} to describe [[peanut]]s and {{Wikt-lang|es|hincar|hincarse}} to describe [[kneeling]], instead of the Peninsular Spanish equivalents {{Wikt-lang|es|cacahuete}} (or even the Mexican variant {{Wikt-lang|es|cacahuate}}) and {{Wikt-lang|es|arrodillar|arrodillarse}}.{{sfn|Lipski|2012|p=308}}

===From Peninsular Spanish===
Much of the basic vocabulary of Philippine Spanish is also derived from Peninsular Spanish. For example, Philippine Spanish uses {{Wikt-lang|es|patata}} to describe a [[potato]], the same as in Spain.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=277}} Some words do take on a different meaning in Philippine Spanish: for example, while speakers use the Latin American {{Wikt-lang|es|camarón}} to describe a [[shrimp]],{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=207}} the Peninsular equivalent {{Wikt-lang|es|gamba}} is also used but with a slightly more specialized meaning (in this case, a shrimp smaller than a ''camarón'').{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=241}}

In certain cases some words are used by speakers in a more-or-less equal proportion, such as with the Peninsular {{Wikt-lang|es|melocotón}} and the Latin American {{Wikt-lang|es|durazno}} to describe a [[peach]].{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=261}} In others, the Peninsular equivalent isn't used at all: for example, to describe an [[apartment]] the Latin American terms {{Wikt-lang|es|apartamento}} and {{Wikt-lang|es|departamento}} are used exclusively as opposed to the Peninsular {{Wikt-lang|es|piso}}.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=183}}

===From English===
{{see also|Spanglish}}
Anglicisms in Philippine Spanish can be classified into three types: those that are present in standard Spanish, those that are also found in Spanish as spoken in the United States, and a much smaller number of words that were borrowed into the language but still carry their original spelling and meaning from English. These include words like {{Wikt-lang|es|planta}} for {{gloss|plant}} (instead of {{Wikt-lang|es|fábrica}}), {{Wikt-lang|es|sugestión}} for {{gloss|suggestion}} (instead of {{Wikt-lang|es|sugerencia}}) and the direct importation of English words like {{Wikt-lang|es|avocado}}, {{Wikt-lang|es|jeepney}} and {{Wikt-lang|es|overol}} ({{gloss|overalls}}).{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=136}}

Because Spanish-speaking Filipinos are also fluent in English, English pronunciation also affects how Philippine Spanish speakers pronounce certain words. Some speakers, for example, would pronounce {{Wikt-lang|es|Europa}} ({{gloss|Europe}}) as {{IPA|[juˈɾopa]}}, as in English, instead of {{IPA|/euˈɾopa/}}.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=137}}

===Unique words and expressions===
Many words and expressions used by Spanish speakers in the Philippines are unique to Philippine Spanish, though a number of these have since entered the ''Diccionario de la lengua española'' and other publications of the [[Royal Spanish Academy]] (RAE). Some of the first ''filipinismos'' incorporated by the RAE into its publications include words like ''[[karakoa|caracoa]]'', ''[[barangay]]'' and ''[[paraw|parao]]'', which entered the broader lexicon in the late 18th and early 19th century, and the number of ''filipinismos'' has ostensibly grown over time.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|Quilis-Sanz|1997|p=8}}

Unique words and expressions in Philippine Spanish can be broadly placed into four categories:

* Words and expressions borrowed into Philippine Spanish, or even Spanish more broadly, as a result of contact with the Philippine languages (such as {{Wikt-lang|es|bolo}}, which was borrowed from the Tagalog ''[[bolo knife|bolo]]'',{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|Quilis-Sanz|1997|p=23}} or {{Wikt-lang|es|baguio}} to describe [[typhoon]]s).{{sfn|Rodríguez-Ponga|2000|p=397}} However, the extent of borrowing has varied: borrowing from the Philippine languages, or even from other languages like [[Chinese language|Chinese]], into Philippine Spanish has been described as either being mainly limited to flora and fauna, contrasting with the significant influence played by Philippine languages in the development of Chavacano,{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=44}} or as being more varied but with loans largely being limited to sociocultural domains like food.{{sfn|Flores Sigg|Ramírez Luengo|2019|pp=304–305}}
* Words and expressions that have fallen out of use in other Spanish dialects, but were retained in Philippine Spanish (such as {{Wikt-lang|es|aparador}} to describe a [[wardrobe]], whereas other Spanish dialects would use {{Wikt-lang|es|armario}},{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|Quilis-Sanz|1997|pp=17–18}} the use of {{Wikt-lang|es|aeroplano}} instead of {{Wikt-lang|es|avión}} to describe an [[airplane]],{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=176}} or the use of the dated phrase {{lang|es|¿Cuál es su gracia?}} [{{literal translation|What is your grace?}}] to ask for someone's name,{{sfn|Quilis|1993|p=10}} which has since died out in other countries)<ref name="gracia" />
* Words and expressions that have undergone a [[semantic change]] in Philippine Spanish (such as {{Wikt-lang|es|lenguaje}} to refer to a [[national language]]){{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=45}}
* Words and expressions in Philippine Spanish that were developed in the Philippines by Spanish speakers and have no (or other) equivalents in other Spanish dialects (such as {{Wikt-lang|es|abrazador}} to describe a [[bolster|bolster pillow]],{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|Quilis-Sanz|1997|p=13}} {{Wikt-lang|es|abogadillo}} to describe a [[paralegal]],{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=174}} or {{Wikt-lang|es|código}} to describe a [[cheat sheet]]){{sfn|Quilis|1992|p=192}}

Many ''filipinismos'' that are commonly used in the Philippines, such as ''[[pandesal|pan de sal]]'' and ''[[kundiman|cundimán]]'', by both Spanish and non-Spanish speakers alike have yet to be recognized by the RAE,{{sfn|Donoso Jiménez|2018|p=28}} and calls have been made for their inclusion.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=170}}

{{Spanish language}}
'''Philippine Spanish''' ({{lang-es|español filipino}} or {{lang|es|castellano filipino}}){{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=236}} is the [[Spanish dialects and varieties|variety]] of standard [[Spanish language|Spanish]] spoken in the [[Philippines]], used primarily by [[Spanish Filipino]]s.

Spanish as spoken in the Philippines contains a number of features that distinguishes it from other varieties of Spanish, combining features from both [[Peninsular Spanish|Peninsular]] and [[Spanish language in the Americas|Latin American]] varieties of the language. Philippine Spanish also employs vocabulary unique to the dialect, reflecting influence from the native [[languages of the Philippines]] as well as broader sociolinguistic trends in Spanish, and is considered to be more linguistically conservative and uniform than Spanish spoken elsewhere.

Officially regulated by the [[Philippine Academy of the Spanish Language]] (AFLE), up to a million people in the Philippines are claimed to be either proficient in or have knowledge of Spanish,<ref name="revive" /> with around 4,000 people claiming Spanish as their [[first language|native language]],<ref name="resiste" /> although estimates vary widely.

==Distribution and number of speakers==
Philippine Spanish speakers may be found nationwide, mostly in urban areas but with the largest concentration of speakers in [[Metro Manila]]. Smaller communities are found particularly in regions where the economy is dominated by large agricultural [[plantation]]s, such as the [[sugarcane]]-producing regions of [[Negros]], particularly around [[Bacolod]] and [[Dumaguete]], and in the fruit-producing regions of [[Mindanao]], particularly around [[Cagayan de Oro]] and [[Davao City]].{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=39}} Other centers where Spanish-speaking populations can be found include the cities of [[Cebu City|Cebu]], [[Iloilo City|Iloilo]] and [[Zamboanga City|Zamboanga]].{{sfn|Steinkrüger|2008|p=230}} Most native Philippine Spanish speakers are part of the country's [[middle class|middle]] and [[upper class]]es.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=39}}

Estimates as to the number of Spanish speakers in the Philippines vary widely, with estimates ranging from the thousands to the millions.{{sfn|Andrés Barrenechea|2013|p=33}} In 2014, the [[Instituto Cervantes]] (IC) estimated that there were around one million Spanish speakers in the Philippines, regardless of level of proficiency,<ref name="revive" /> while in 2023 Maria Luisa Young, professor of Spanish and head of the Department of Modern Languages at the [[Ateneo de Manila University]], estimated without confidence that around 500,000 people in the Philippines either speak or at least know Spanish.<ref name="horacervantes" /> A 2022 report by the IC, meanwhile, estimated that there are around 460,000 Spanish speakers in the Philippines, though only counting Spaniards in the Philippines as native speakers, including speakers of the various [[Chavacano]] dialects in the total, and excluding Filipinos who studied Spanish in universities before 1986.{{sfn|Gutiérrez Rivilla|2023|pp=28-30}} In the [[2020 Philippine census]], the [[Philippine Statistics Authority]] reported that only 167 households nationwide spoke Spanish at home,<ref name="psa" /> while a 2020 estimate places the number of native speakers at around 4,000 people.<ref name="resiste" />

Accurately counting Spanish speakers in the Philippines is complicated by the Philippine government not keeping updated official statistics, with the last supposedly reliable statistics on the number of speakers dating back to 2008. That estimate placed the number of native Spanish speakers at around 6,000, with an additional two million Filipinos who speak Spanish either as a second or third language and another 1.2 million Chavacano speakers, and that number possibly being larger due to increasing interest in learning Spanish among Filipinos for professional reasons.<ref name="ultimos" />

In addition to reported estimates of speakers, it is believed that there is an undetermined but significant number of Spanish [[Speaker types#Semi-speakers|semi-speaker]]s, Filipinos whose knowledge of Spanish is below that of native speakers but is considered to be superior to that of foreign students.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=39}}

===Status and future===
{{Main article|Spanish language in the Philippines}}

Compared to other Spanish varieties, Philippine Spanish is among the least studied, and many contemporary studies that claim to talk about the dialect were, in fact, either dealing with Spanish loanwords in the native [[languages of the Philippines]] or, more erroneously, to the various Chavacano dialects to which it was often mistakenly confused for.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|pp=37–38}}

Philippine Spanish has been described as being [[endangered language|endangered]],<ref name="endangered" /> with most speakers also being fluent in English and the Philippine languages, and the language having few native speakers under the age of 40,{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=39}} with many of its speakers also living outside the Philippines.{{sfn|Andrés Barrenechea|2013|p=34}} In part due to the [[History of the Philippines (1898–1946)|American colonization of the Philippines]], where English was pushed as the language of government and education, and the implementation of a [[Tagalog language|Tagalog]]-based national language (which would later become [[Filipino language|Filipino]]), use of Spanish declined, particularly after [[World War II]] when English was entrenched as the language of [[Prestige (sociolinguistics)|social prestige]].{{sfn|Steinkrüger|2008|pp=230–231}} Spanish-speaking Filipinos mostly use the language at home, with use of the language in public being limited by a lack of speakers and hostility from non-Spanish-speaking Filipinos toward the language,{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=39}} although many Filipinos who previously studied Spanish while it was still mandatory are capable of sustaining a conversation that reasonably approximates the language.{{sfn|Lipski|2012|p=307}}

This, however, contrasts with recent trends concerning Spanish in the Philippines more broadly, on the one hand due to changing attitudes toward the language among non-Spanish-speaking Filipinos,<ref name="prospects" /> and on the other due to the growing prestige of the language worldwide.{{sfn|Sánchez Jiménez|2012}} Starting in 2009 Spanish was reintroduced as part of the basic education curriculum in a number of public high schools, becoming the largest foreign language program offered by the public school system,<ref name="spfl" /> with over 7,000 students studying the language in the 2021–2022 school year alone.<ref name="estudiar" /> The [[business process outsourcing in the Philippines|local business process outsourcing industry]] has also contributed to the growing popularity of Spanish as Spanish speakers have a larger earnings potential than English speakers in the industry.<ref name="payoff" /> A new generation of Spanish speakers has since emerged as a result,{{sfn|Andrés Barrenechea|2013|pp=33–34}} most of whom are [[second language|second-language]] speakers with some learning the language to show [[Filipino nationalism|national pride]], though there exists within this group a smaller number of first-language Spanish speakers who are learning the language at home from their second-language parents.{{sfn|Andrés Barrenechea|2013|pp=33–34}}

==Phonology==
{{See also|Spanish phonology}}

[[File:Emilio Aguinaldo Speech in Spanish (1929).webm|thumb|right|A recording of [[Emilio Aguinaldo]], the first [[president of the Philippines]], delivering a speech in Spanish]]

Philippine Spanish phonology has been described as conservative and refined, reflecting the socioeconomic status of its speakers, and exhibiting features largely present in the standard dialects of [[Peninsular Spanish]] as spoken in the late 19th and early 20th centuries,{{sfn|Lipski|1986|p=78}} with little influence from dialects such as [[Andalusian Spanish|Andalusian]] or [[Canarian Spanish|Canarian]] nor from languages like [[Catalan language|Catalan]] or [[Galician language|Galician]] despite significant immigration to the Philippines from those areas of Spain.{{sfn|Lipski|1986|pp=76–77}} Nevertheless, a number of phonological traits still distinguish Philippine Spanish from Spanish spoken elsewhere as a result of earlier contact with [[Spanish language in the Americas|Latin American Spanish]] varieties, contact with the Philippine languages and the development of Chavacano.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|pp=45-46}}

Unlike with [[Philippine English]], Philippine Spanish phonology is also generally uniform, with very little (if any) dialectical variation in terms of pronunciation between speakers of Spanish from different regions of the country.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=39}}

=== Distinction between ''y'' and ''ll'' ===
As in some dialects in northern Spain and some bilingual zones (Bolivia, Paraguay, and Peru) of Latin America,<ref name="ll" /> Philippine Spanish has a phonological distinction between the sounds represented by ''ll'' ({{IPA|/ʎ/}}) and ''y'' ({{IPA|/ʝ/}}).{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=41}}{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=94}} For example, {{Wikt-lang|es|calle}} ({{gloss|street}}) is pronounced {{IPA|/ˈkaʎe/}} (Tagalog {{Wikt-lang|tl|kalye}}) as opposed to the pronunciation {{IPA|/ˈkaʝe/}} found in most other present-day Spanish varieties.{{sfn|Quilis|1992|p=130}} The phoneme {{IPA|/ʎ/}} may be realized closer to {{IPA|[lj]}} in the pronunciation of some younger Philippine Spanish speakers.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=41}} Sometimes {{IPA|/ʎ/}} is depalatalized to {{IPA|[l]}} in word-initial positions: for example, {{Wikt-lang|es|lluvia}} ({{gloss|rain}}), normally pronounced {{IPA|/ˈʎubia/}}, is pronounced {{IPA|[ˈlubja]}}.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=95}}

While ''[[yeísmo]]'', which merges the two, is today considered extremely rare and idiosyncratic in Philippine Spanish,{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=41}} it has been suggested that a more ''yeísta'' pronunciation was previously standard owing to the influence of both Andalusian and [[Mexican Spanish]] speakers in the 16th and 17th centuries. Speakers only shifted to a contrasting pronunciation, which was characteristic of the aristocratic Castilian pronunciation of the time, toward the end of the 19th century in the final years of Spanish colonization.{{sfn|Lipski|1986a|p=47}}

Newer generations of Spanish speakers have begun adopting phonological features closer to standard Peninsular Spanish, including ''yeísmo'', as a result of being educated in that dialect,{{sfn|Andrés Barrenechea|2013|p=43}} although the majority of those studying Spanish in the Philippines as a foreign language nonetheless continue to contrast both sounds.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=420}}

===Seseo===
Like Latin American Spanish, Philippine Spanish originally practiced ''[[Phonological history of Spanish coronal fricatives#Seseo|seseo]]'', where {{IPA|/θ/}} is normally not distinguished from {{IPA|/s/}}. This is particularly evidenced by borrowings into the Philippine languages where, for example, {{Wikt-lang|es|cerveza}} ({{gloss|beer}}), pronounced {{IPA|/seɾˈbesa/}}, became Tagalog {{Wikt-lang|tl|serbesa}}.{{sfn|Lipski|1986a|p=46}} Although ''seseo'' remains the dominant pronunciation today,{{sfn|Quilis|1993|p=13}} in a similar way to the introduction of a contrast between ''y'' and ''ll'' at the end of the 19th century, some native speakers have begun practicing ''[[Phonological history of Spanish coronal fricatives#Distinction|distinción]]'',{{sfn|Lipski|1986a|p=46}} where {{IPA|/θ/}} is distinguished from {{IPA|/s/}}, but do not always do so consistently.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=40}}

Newer generations of Spanish speakers have begun adopting ''distinción'' as a result of being educated in Peninsular Spanish, alongside a contemporary adoption of ''yeísmo''.{{sfn|Andrés Barrenechea|2013|p=43}} Among those studying Spanish in the Philippines as a foreign language, most practice ''distinción'' although a large group of students nonetheless practice ''seseo'', and among those who do practice ''distinción'', most do so inconsistently.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=418}}

===Pronunciation of plosive consonants===
The consonants {{IPA|/b/}}, {{IPA|/d/}} and {{IPA|/g/}} are uniformly pronounced as [[plosive]] (hard) consonants in Philippine Spanish, contrasting with other Spanish dialects where these are usually softened to either [[approximant]]s or [[fricative]]s.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=40}} While the softened pronunciations are also heard, this varies between speakers and even between individual phonemes.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=86}}

Of particular note is the pronunciation of [[intervocalic consonant|intervocalic]] {{IPA|/d/}}, where it can even overlap with and is occasionally pronounced as {{IPA|[ɾ]}} as is the case in the Philippine languages.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=86}} This trait has also carried over to Chavacano and has influenced how the Philippine languages have treated Spanish loans as in the case, for example, of Spanish {{Wikt-lang|es|pared}} ({{gloss|wall}}) becoming Tagalog {{Wikt-lang|tl|pader}}.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=40}}

Intervocalic {{IPA|/d/}} is also frequently [[elision|elided]], particularly with words ending in the suffix {{Wikt-lang|es|-ado}}.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=40}}

===Palatalization and affrication===
Before [[close vowel]]s ({{IPA|/i/}} and {{IPA|/u/}}), {{IPA|/d/}} and {{IPA|/t/}} are often [[palatalization (phonetics)|palatalized]] by Philippine Spanish speakers, becoming {{IPA|/dʲ/}} and {{IPA|/tʲ/}} respectively. Occasionally these would be [[Affricate#Affrication|affricated]] instead, becoming {{IPAblink|dʒ}} and {{IPAblink|tʃ}} respectively as in the case of Spanish loans to the Philippine languages. For example, {{Wikt-lang|es|Dios}} ({{gloss|God}}), normally pronounced {{IPA|/ˈdios/}}, would be pronounced {{IPA|[ˈd͡ʒos]}} (Tagalog {{Wikt-lang|tl|Diyos}}), or {{Wikt-lang|es|tiangue}} ({{gloss|open-air market}}), normally pronounced {{IPA|/ˈtjanɡe/}}, would be pronounced {{IPA|[ˈt͡ʃaŋɡe]}} (Tagalog {{Wikt-lang|tl|tiyangge}}).{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=87}}

In a similar manner, speakers also occasionally palatalize {{IPA|/s/}} to {{IPAblink|ʃ}} when placed before a close vowel. For example, {{Wikt-lang|es|negocio}} ({{gloss|business}}), normally pronounced {{IPA|/neˈɡosjo/}}, would be pronounced {{IPA|[neˈɡoʃo]}} (Tagalog {{Wikt-lang|tl|negosyo}}).{{sfn|Quilis|1992|p=187}}

===Retraction of {{IPA|/x/}} to {{IPA|[h]}}===
The velar jota sound ({{IPA|/x/}}) is present in Philippine Spanish, similar to standard Peninsular Spanish, though this is mostly retracted to glottal {{IPAblink|h}}, which also occurs in Andalusian, Caribbean, Canarian, Central American, and Colombian Spanish.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=42}}

===Merger of non-open vowels and bilabial consonants===
Often interchanged in Philippine Spanish are the non-open vowels {{IPA|/e/}} and {{IPA|/i/}}, {{IPA|/o/}} and {{IPA|/u/}},{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=82}} and the bilabial consonants {{IPA|/p/}} and {{IPA|/f/}},{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=90}} following a similar tendency in the Philippine languages.{{sfn|Quilis|1992|p=187}} For example, {{Wikt-lang|es|Filipinas}} ({{gloss|Philippines}}) would be pronounced {{IPA|[piliˈpinas]}} (Tagalog {{Wikt-lang|tl|Pilipinas}}), {{Wikt-lang|es|tenía}} ({{gloss|I had}}) would be pronounced {{IPA|[tiˈnia]}}, and {{Wikt-lang|es|comen}} ({{gloss|they eat}}) would be pronounced {{IPA|[ˈkumen]}}.{{sfn|Quilis|1992|p=186}}

===No aspiration of {{IPA|/s/}}===
Unlike many Peninsular and Latin American dialects, syllable-final {{IPA|/s/}} is always pronounced as an alveolar sibilant ({{IPAblink|s}}), rather than a glottal fricative ({{IPAblink|h}}). For example, {{Wikt-lang|es|mosca|las moscas}} ({{gloss|flies}}, as in [[Fly|the insect]]) is always pronounced {{IPA|[las ˈmoskas]}}.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=91}} The retention of ''s'' is reflective of the influence of northern Peninsular Spanish dialects, although it is considered an unusual development in Philippine Spanish given the large number of Andalusian Spanish speakers among the last wave of Spanish migrants to the Philippines.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=40}}

In contrast, Chavacano speakers do practice syllable-final S-dropping, most notably among older Zamboagueño speakers.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=41}}

===Glottal stop===
As a result of contact with the Philippine languages, the [[glottal stop]] {{IPA|[ʔ]}} regularly manifests in the speech of most (if not all) Philippine Spanish speakers, and is normally found in word-initial positions where the pronunciation begins with a vowel.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|pp=42–43}} For example, {{Wikt-lang|es|alma}} ({{gloss|spirit}}) would be pronounced {{IPA|[ˈʔalma]}}.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=83}} This is also present when the word is preceded by a pause, which in other Spanish dialects would be subject to consonantal linking (similar to the ''[[liaison (French)|liaison]]'' in French). For example, {{Wikt-lang|es|hombre|el hombre}} ({{gloss|the man}}) would be pronounced as {{IPA|[elˈʔombɾe]}} in Philippine Spanish but {{IPA|[eˈlombɾe]}} in other Spanish dialects.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|pp=42-43}}

The glottal stop also appears in some vowel sequences, serving to clearly delineate syllables from one another. For example, {{Wikt-lang|es|maíz}} ({{gloss|corn}}) would be pronounced {{IPA|[maˈʔis]}}, and {{Wikt-lang|es|baúl}} ({{gloss|trunk}}, as in [[Trunk (luggage)|the luggage]]) would be pronounced {{IPA|[baˈʔul]}}.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=83}}

==={{IPA|[ɾ]–[l]}} shift===
Philippine Spanish clearly distinguishes between the use of {{IPA|[ɾ]}} and {{IPA|[l]}}, similar to standard Peninsular Spanish. However, earlier speakers may have interchanged both sounds, with {{IPA|/l/}} becoming {{IPA|[ɾ]}} and {{IPA|/ɾ/}} becoming {{IPA|[l]}} as in Andalusian and Caribbean Spanish, and which was retained in the various Chavacano dialects.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=42}}

Despite this distinction certain words in the Philippine Spanish lexicon nevertheless reflect this earlier tendency to interchange both sounds, such as ''balasar'', a variant of {{Wikt-lang|es|barajar}} ({{gloss|to shuffle}}) which the dialect had preserved.{{sfn|Quilis|1992|p=191}}

===Treatment of ''tl''===
Similar to Latin American, Canarian and certain Peninsular Spanish dialects,<ref name="tl" /> Philippine Spanish pronounces the letter sequence ''tl'' in the same syllable. For example, the word {{Wikt-lang|es|atlas}} is pronounced {{IPA|[ˈa.tlas]}}, not {{IPA|[ˈat.las]}} as in standard Peninsular Spanish.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=88}}

==Morphology and syntax==
Philippine Spanish has been described as having no particularly unique morphological features,{{sfn|Quilis|1992|p=188}} although deviations from standard Spanish morphology and syntax have been reported as a result of Spanish's position as a minority language in the Philippines.{{sfn|Steinkrüger|2008|p=231}}

===Pronouns===
Alongside [[Equatoguinean Spanish]], Philippine Spanish is one of only two Spanish dialects outside of Spain to use the second-person plural pronoun ''[[Spanish personal pronouns#Use of vosotros|vosotros]]'',{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=43}} although ''ustedes'', standard in Latin America, has been reported as also being common in written texts.{{sfn|Moreno de Alba|2011|p=34}} The second-person familiar pronoun ''tú'' is also freely used, even in situations where the polite pronoun ''usted'' would be used instead,{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=43}} and while the various Chavacano dialects developed the use of ''[[voseo]]'', this development is absent in Philippine Spanish, which is exclusively ''tuteante''.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=117}}

Unlike other overseas Spanish dialects, Philippine Spanish is said to employ ''[[leísmo]]'', where the pronoun ''le'' is used when referring to third-person masculine direct objects instead of ''lo'' as is the case elsewhere,{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=43}} although others have said this only represents a minority of speakers and that Philippine Spanish speakers mostly use ''lo''.{{sfn|Quilis|1992|p=188}} However, for indirect objects, the use of ''le'' is predominant, with a minority of speakers using ''la'' (''[[loísmo|laísmo]]'').{{sfn|Quilis|1992|p=188}}

===Possession and derivation===
Indicating [[Possession (linguistics)|possession]] in Philippine Spanish is frequently expressed not through possessive adjectives, but rather by combining the object with the construction ''de'' ({{gloss|of}}) and the possessor. For example, instead of {{lang|es|nuestros parientes}} ({{gloss|our relatives}}) as in standard Spanish, Philippine Spanish speakers would often say {{lang|es|los parientes de nosotros}} ({{literal translation|the relatives of us}}).{{sfn|Quilis|1992|p=189}} This also happens with the third-person possessive pronoun ''su'', which parallels Latin American usage with speakers alternating between, for example, {{lang|es|Este perro es suyo}} ({{literal translation|This dog is theirs}}) and {{lang|es|Este perro es de él}} ({{literal translation|This dog is of him}}).{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=116}} A similar phenomenon also defines the naming of certain flora, with fruit trees sometimes being called the tree of that fruit. For example, while Spanish has an actual word for an orange tree, {{Wikt-lang|es|naranjo}}, Philippine Spanish speakers would sometimes say ''árbol de naranja'' instead.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=114}}

In expressing [[Morphological derivation|derivation]], the most commonly-used [[suffix]] for creating [[diminutive]]s in Philippine Spanish is {{Wikt-lang|es|-ito}}, although {{Wikt-lang|es|-illo}} is also encountered but less commonly.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=112}} For [[augmentative]]s, the most commonly-used suffix is {{Wikt-lang|es|-ón}}, followed by {{Wikt-lang|es|-azo}} and {{Wikt-lang|es|-ote}} in order of frequency.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=113}} Meanwhile, for forming [[collective noun]]s, the most common suffix is {{Wikt-lang|es|-ada}}, followed by {{Wikt-lang|es|-aje}} when referring to people. For plants and produce, the most common suffix is {{Wikt-lang|es|-al}}, followed by {{Wikt-lang|es|-ero}} and {{Wikt-lang|es|-ar}}, but [[noun phrase]]s formed by combining the name of the plant or produce, either with or without the standard suffixes depending on the plant or produce being discussed, with ''plantación (de)'' ({{gloss|plantation [of]}}), ''campo (de)'' ({{gloss|field [of]}}) or ''sementera (de)'' ({{gloss|land sown with}}) are also commonly employed.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=114}}

===Negation===
In certain cases, Philippine Spanish expresses [[Affirmation and negation#Negation|negation]] in a manner broadly similar to other Spanish varieties. For example, the determiner {{Wikt-lang|es|más}} ({{gloss|more}} or {{gloss|else}}) is used to amplify {{Wikt-lang|es|nunca}} ({{gloss|never}}), {{Wikt-lang|es|nadie}} ({{gloss|no one}}), {{Wikt-lang|es|nada}} ({{gloss|nothing}}) and {{Wikt-lang|es|ninguno}} ({{gloss|nobody}}) and is normally found in a postnominal (after the word) position, but occasionally this is reversed by Philippine Spanish speakers with ''más'' appearing in the prenominal (before the word) position.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=124}}

Other cases exhibit deviations from standard Spanish usage. The negative adverbial phrase ''no más'' ("no more"), for example, is used in one of three ways in Philippine Spanish:{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|pp=124–125}}

*To express exactness (''Lo tiene al lado mismo no más''; {{literal translation|He/she has it exactly right next to him/her}}).
*As an emphatic suffix (''Estaba bromeando no más''; {{literal translation|I was only joking}}). This use of ''no más'' is also found in Latin American Spanish, and is equivalent to the use of {{Wikt-lang|es|solo}} or {{Wikt-lang|es|solamente}} in standard Spanish.<ref name="nomás" />
*To express finiteness (''No hay más carruajes''; {{literal translation|There aren't carriages any more}}). This use of ''no más'' may have come about as a result of English influence, and is equivalent to the use of {{Wikt-lang|es|ya no}} in other Spanish varieties.

Adverbial ''no'' is also regularly paired with other adverbs to express negation, even if the pairing would be considered redundant in standard Spanish. For example, Philippine Spanish speakers often pair adverbial ''no'' with {{Wikt-lang|es|tan}} and {{Wikt-lang|es|tanto}} (or even {{Wikt-lang|es|tantito}}), both implying extent, as a substitute for ''no muy'' ({{gloss|not very}}) and ''no mucho'' ({{gloss|not much}}) respectively.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=125}} In a similar manner, Philippine Spanish speakers also often substitute {{Wikt-lang|es|tampoco}} ({{gloss|neither}}) with ''también no'' ({{literal translation|also no}}),{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|pp=125–126}} which is normally considered incorrect in standard Spanish,<ref name="tambien" /> and even ''tampoco'' itself is paired with ''no'' to create the redundant [[double negative]] ''tampoco no'' ({{literal translation|neither no}}),{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|pp=125-126}} which in standard Spanish is likewise normally considered incorrect.<ref name="tampoco" />

==Vocabulary==
[[File:Selection of Philippine literature in Spanish.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Selected books from the corpus of [[Philippine literature in Spanish]], both historical and contemporary]]
{{See also|List of Spanish words of Austronesian origin}}

Over the centuries Philippine Spanish has developed a corpus of ''filipinismos'' ({{literal translation|Philippinisms}}), vocabulary and expressions that are unique to the dialect, of which some have even entered Spanish more broadly and others which have influenced the native languages of the Philippines. Philippinisms in Philippine Spanish are usually derived from a number of sources: words borrowed into Spanish from the Philippine or other foreign languages, Spanish words that have since fallen out of use in Spain or in Spanish more broadly, and Spanish expressions made by Philippine Spanish speakers or are otherwise unique to the country.{{sfn|Donoso Jiménez|2018|pp=28–29}} Since the mid-20th century, the Philippine Spanish lexicon has also been significantly influenced by English, similar to the situation with Spanish in [[Puerto Rican Spanish|Puerto Rico]] and the [[Spanish language in the United States|United States]].{{sfn|Steinkrüger|2008|p=231}}

Although there are efforts in documenting ''filipinismos,'' and people studying Spanish as a foreign language today still learn and use Philippine Spanish vocabulary,{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=426}} many of them are in danger of disappearing due to the "foreignization" of Spanish language education in the Philippines (as Peninsular instead of Philippine Spanish is taught in schools), alongside poor documentation practices which lead to, among others, some expressions not being documented and some whose origin is obscured, and a lack of a stronger effort to compile a comprehensive dictionary of these expressions, or at least to include them in the ''[[Diccionario de la lengua española]]''.{{sfn|Donoso Jiménez|2018|pp=28–29}}

===From Latin American Spanish===
Philippine Spanish incorporates a number of words and expressions from Latin American Spanish varieties, most notably from Mexican Spanish but also including influences from other dialects.{{sfn|Lipski|2012|p=308}} Words like {{Wikt-lang|es|metate}},{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|Quilis-Sanz|1997|p=37}} {{Wikt-lang|es|tiangue}} and {{Wikt-lang|es|chongo}} reflect this influence, as well as the use of certain [[hypocorism]]s.{{sfn|Lipski|2012|p=308}}

Latin American influence in Philippine Spanish is also reflected in the use of Americanisms like {{Wikt-lang|es|maní}} to describe [[peanut]]s and {{Wikt-lang|es|hincar|hincarse}} to describe [[kneeling]], instead of the Peninsular Spanish equivalents {{Wikt-lang|es|cacahuete}} (or even the Mexican variant {{Wikt-lang|es|cacahuate}}) and {{Wikt-lang|es|arrodillar|arrodillarse}}.{{sfn|Lipski|2012|p=308}}

===From Peninsular Spanish===
Much of the basic vocabulary of Philippine Spanish is also derived from Peninsular Spanish. For example, Philippine Spanish uses {{Wikt-lang|es|patata}} to describe a [[potato]], the same as in Spain.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=277}} Some words do take on a different meaning in Philippine Spanish: for example, while speakers use the Latin American {{Wikt-lang|es|camarón}} to describe a [[shrimp]],{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=207}} the Peninsular equivalent {{Wikt-lang|es|gamba}} is also used but with a slightly more specialized meaning (in this case, a shrimp smaller than a ''camarón'').{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=241}}

In certain cases some words are used by speakers in a more-or-less equal proportion, such as with the Peninsular {{Wikt-lang|es|melocotón}} and the Latin American {{Wikt-lang|es|durazno}} to describe a [[peach]].{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=261}} In others, the Peninsular equivalent isn't used at all: for example, to describe an [[apartment]] the Latin American terms {{Wikt-lang|es|apartamento}} and {{Wikt-lang|es|departamento}} are used exclusively as opposed to the Peninsular {{Wikt-lang|es|piso}}.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=183}}

===From English===

Anglicisms in Philippine Spanish can be classified into three types: those that are present in standard Spanish, those that are also found in Spanish as spoken in the United States, and a much smaller number of words that were borrowed into the language but still carry their original spelling and meaning from English. These include words like {{Wikt-lang|es|planta}} for {{gloss|plant}} (instead of {{Wikt-lang|es|fábrica}}), {{Wikt-lang|es|sugestión}} for {{gloss|suggestion}} (instead of {{Wikt-lang|es|sugerencia}}) and the direct importation of English words like {{Wikt-lang|es|avocado}}, {{Wikt-lang|es|jeepney}} and {{Wikt-lang|es|overol}} ({{gloss|overalls}}).{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=136}}

Because Spanish-speaking Filipinos are also fluent in English, English pronunciation also affects how Philippine Spanish speakers pronounce certain words. Some speakers, for example, would pronounce {{Wikt-lang|es|Europa}} ({{gloss|Europe}}) as {{IPA|[juˈɾopa]}}, as in English, instead of {{IPA|/euˈɾopa/}}.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=137}}

===Unique words and expressions===
Many words and expressions used by Spanish speakers in the Philippines are unique to Philippine Spanish, though a number of these have since entered the ''Diccionario de la lengua española'' and other publications of the [[Royal Spanish Academy]] (RAE). Some of the first ''filipinismos'' incorporated by the RAE into its publications include words like ''[[karakoa|caracoa]]'', ''[[barangay]]'' and ''[[paraw|parao]]'', which entered the broader lexicon in the late 18th and early 19th century, and the number of ''filipinismos'' has ostensibly grown over time.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|Quilis-Sanz|1997|p=8}}

Unique words and expressions in Philippine Spanish can be broadly placed into four categories:

* Words and expressions borrowed into Philippine Spanish, or even Spanish more broadly, as a result of contact with the Philippine languages (such as {{Wikt-lang|es|bolo}}, which was borrowed from the Tagalog ''[[bolo knife|bolo]]'',{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|Quilis-Sanz|1997|p=23}} or {{Wikt-lang|es|baguio}} to describe [[typhoon]]s).{{sfn|Rodríguez-Ponga|2000|p=397}} However, the extent of borrowing has varied: borrowing from the Philippine languages, or even from other languages like [[Chinese language|Chinese]], into Philippine Spanish has been described as either being mainly limited to flora and fauna, contrasting with the significant influence played by Philippine languages in the development of Chavacano,{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=44}} or as being more varied but with loans largely being limited to sociocultural domains like food.{{sfn|Flores Sigg|Ramírez Luengo|2019|pp=304–305}}
* Words and expressions that have fallen out of use in other Spanish dialects, but were retained in Philippine Spanish (such as {{Wikt-lang|es|aparador}} to describe a [[wardrobe]], whereas other Spanish dialects would use {{Wikt-lang|es|armario}},{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|Quilis-Sanz|1997|pp=17–18}} the use of {{Wikt-lang|es|aeroplano}} instead of {{Wikt-lang|es|avión}} to describe an [[airplane]],{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=176}} or the use of the dated phrase {{lang|es|¿Cuál es su gracia?}} [{{literal translation|What is your grace?}}] to ask for someone's name,{{sfn|Quilis|1993|p=10}} which has since died out in other countries)<ref name="gracia" />
* Words and expressions that have undergone a [[semantic change]] in Philippine Spanish (such as {{Wikt-lang|es|lenguaje}} to refer to a [[national language]]){{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=45}}
* Words and expressions in Philippine Spanish that were developed in the Philippines by Spanish speakers and have no (or other) equivalents in other Spanish dialects (such as {{Wikt-lang|es|abrazador}} to describe a [[bolster|bolster pillow]],{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|Quilis-Sanz|1997|p=13}} {{Wikt-lang|es|abogadillo}} to describe a [[paralegal]],{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=174}} or {{Wikt-lang|es|código}} to describe a [[cheat sheet]]){{sfn|Quilis|1992|p=192}}

Many ''filipinismos'' that are commonly used in the Philippines, such as ''[[pandesal|pan de sal]]'' and ''[[kundiman|cundimán]]'', by both Spanish and non-Spanish speakers alike have yet to be recognized by the RAE,{{sfn|Donoso Jiménez|2018|p=28}} and calls have been made for their inclusion.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=170}}

{{Spanish language}}
'''Philippine Spanish''' ({{lang-es|español filipino}} or {{lang|es|castellano filipino}}){{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=236}} is the [[Spanish dialects and varieties|variety]] of standard [[Spanish language|Spanish]] spoken in the [[Philippines]], used primarily by [[Spanish Filipino]]s.

Spanish as spoken in the Philippines contains a number of features that distinguishes it from other varieties of Spanish, combining features from both [[Peninsular Spanish|Peninsular]] and [[Spanish language in the Americas|Latin American]] varieties of the language. Philippine Spanish also employs vocabulary unique to the dialect, reflecting influence from the native [[languages of the Philippines]] as well as broader sociolinguistic trends in Spanish, and is considered to be more linguistically conservative and uniform than Spanish spoken elsewhere.

Officially regulated by the [[Philippine Academy of the Spanish Language]] (AFLE), up to a million people in the Philippines are claimed to be either proficient in or have knowledge of Spanish,<ref name="revive" /> with around 4,000 people claiming Spanish as their [[first language|native language]],<ref name="resiste" /> although estimates vary widely.

==Distribution and number of speakers==
Philippine Spanish speakers may be found nationwide, mostly in urban areas but with the largest concentration of speakers in [[Metro Manila]]. Smaller communities are found particularly in regions where the economy is dominated by large agricultural [[plantation]]s, such as the [[sugarcane]]-producing regions of [[Negros]], particularly around [[Bacolod]] and [[Dumaguete]], and in the fruit-producing regions of [[Mindanao]], particularly around [[Cagayan de Oro]] and [[Davao City]].{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=39}} Other centers where Spanish-speaking populations can be found include the cities of [[Cebu City|Cebu]], [[Iloilo City|Iloilo]] and [[Zamboanga City|Zamboanga]].{{sfn|Steinkrüger|2008|p=230}} Most native Philippine Spanish speakers are part of the country's [[middle class|middle]] and [[upper class]]es.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=39}}

Estimates as to the number of Spanish speakers in the Philippines vary widely, with estimates ranging from the thousands to the millions.{{sfn|Andrés Barrenechea|2013|p=33}} In 2014, the [[Instituto Cervantes]] (IC) estimated that there were around one million Spanish speakers in the Philippines, regardless of level of proficiency,<ref name="revive" /> while in 2023 Maria Luisa Young, professor of Spanish and head of the Department of Modern Languages at the [[Ateneo de Manila University]], estimated without confidence that around 500,000 people in the Philippines either speak or at least know Spanish.<ref name="horacervantes" /> A 2022 report by the IC, meanwhile, estimated that there are around 460,000 Spanish speakers in the Philippines, though only counting Spaniards in the Philippines as native speakers, including speakers of the various [[Chavacano]] dialects in the total, and excluding Filipinos who studied Spanish in universities before 1986.{{sfn|Fernández Vitores|2022|pp=10–12}} In the [[2020 Philippine census]], the [[Philippine Statistics Authority]] reported that only 167 households nationwide spoke Spanish at home,<ref name="psa" /> while a 2020 estimate places the number of native speakers at around 4,000 people.<ref name="resiste" />

Accurately counting Spanish speakers in the Philippines is complicated by the Philippine government not keeping updated official statistics, with the last supposedly reliable statistics on the number of speakers dating back to 2008. That estimate placed the number of native Spanish speakers at around 6,000, with an additional two million Filipinos who speak Spanish either as a second or third language and another 1.2 million Chavacano speakers, and that number possibly being larger due to increasing interest in learning Spanish among Filipinos for professional reasons.<ref name="ultimos" />

In addition to reported estimates of speakers, it is believed that there is an undetermined but significant number of Spanish [[Speaker types#Semi-speakers|semi-speaker]]s, Filipinos whose knowledge of Spanish is below that of native speakers but is considered to be superior to that of foreign students.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=39}}

===Status and future===
{{Main article|Spanish language in the Philippines}}

Compared to other Spanish varieties, Philippine Spanish is among the least studied, and many contemporary studies that claim to talk about the dialect were, in fact, either dealing with Spanish loanwords in the native [[languages of the Philippines]] or, more erroneously, to the various Chavacano dialects to which it was often mistakenly confused for.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|pp=37–38}}

Philippine Spanish has been described as being [[endangered language|endangered]],<ref name="endangered" /> with most speakers also being fluent in English and the Philippine languages, and the language having few native speakers under the age of 40,{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=39}} with many of its speakers also living outside the Philippines.{{sfn|Andrés Barrenechea|2013|p=34}} In part due to the [[History of the Philippines (1898–1946)|American colonization of the Philippines]], where English was pushed as the language of government and education, and the implementation of a [[Tagalog language|Tagalog]]-based national language (which would later become [[Filipino language|Filipino]]), use of Spanish declined, particularly after [[World War II]] when English was entrenched as the language of [[Prestige (sociolinguistics)|social prestige]].{{sfn|Steinkrüger|2008|pp=230–231}} Spanish-speaking Filipinos mostly use the language at home, with use of the language in public being limited by a lack of speakers and hostility from non-Spanish-speaking Filipinos toward the language,{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=39}} although many Filipinos who previously studied Spanish while it was still mandatory are capable of sustaining a conversation that reasonably approximates the language.{{sfn|Lipski|2012|p=307}}

This, however, contrasts with recent trends concerning Spanish in the Philippines more broadly, on the one hand due to changing attitudes toward the language among non-Spanish-speaking Filipinos,<ref name="prospects" /> and on the other due to the growing prestige of the language worldwide.{{sfn|Sánchez Jiménez|2012}} Starting in 2009 Spanish was reintroduced as part of the basic education curriculum in a number of public high schools, becoming the largest foreign language program offered by the public school system,<ref name="spfl" /> with over 7,000 students studying the language in the 2021–2022 school year alone.<ref name="estudiar" /> The [[business process outsourcing in the Philippines|local business process outsourcing industry]] has also contributed to the growing popularity of Spanish as Spanish speakers have a larger earnings potential than English speakers in the industry.<ref name="payoff" /> A new generation of Spanish speakers has since emerged as a result,{{sfn|Andrés Barrenechea|2013|pp=33–34}} most of whom are [[second language|second-language]] speakers with some learning the language to show [[Filipino nationalism|national pride]], though there exists within this group a smaller number of first-language Spanish speakers who are learning the language at home from their second-language parents.{{sfn|Andrés Barrenechea|2013|pp=33–34}}

==Phonology==
{{See also|Spanish phonology}}

[[File:Emilio Aguinaldo Speech in Spanish (1929).webm|thumb|right|A recording of [[Emilio Aguinaldo]], the first [[president of the Philippines]], delivering a speech in Spanish]]

Philippine Spanish phonology has been described as conservative and refined, reflecting the socioeconomic status of its speakers, and exhibiting features largely present in the standard dialects of [[Peninsular Spanish]] as spoken in the late 19th and early 20th centuries,{{sfn|Lipski|1986|p=78}} with little influence from dialects such as [[Andalusian Spanish|Andalusian]] or [[Canarian Spanish|Canarian]] nor from languages like [[Catalan language|Catalan]] or [[Galician language|Galician]] despite significant immigration to the Philippines from those areas of Spain.{{sfn|Lipski|1986|pp=76–77}} Nevertheless, a number of phonological traits still distinguish Philippine Spanish from Spanish spoken elsewhere as a result of earlier contact with [[Spanish language in the Americas|Latin American Spanish]] varieties, contact with the Philippine languages and the development of Chavacano.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|pp=45-46}}

Unlike with [[Philippine English]], Philippine Spanish phonology is also generally uniform, with very little (if any) dialectical variation in terms of pronunciation between speakers of Spanish from different regions of the country.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=39}}

=== Distinction between ''y'' and ''ll'' ===
As in some dialects in northern Spain and some bilingual zones (Bolivia, Paraguay, and Peru) of Latin America,<ref name="ll" /> Philippine Spanish has a phonological distinction between the sounds represented by ''ll'' ({{IPA|/ʎ/}}) and ''y'' ({{IPA|/ʝ/}}).{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=41}}{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=94}} For example, {{Wikt-lang|es|calle}} ({{gloss|street}}) is pronounced {{IPA|/ˈkaʎe/}} (Tagalog {{Wikt-lang|tl|kalye}}) as opposed to the pronunciation {{IPA|/ˈkaʝe/}} found in most other present-day Spanish varieties.{{sfn|Quilis|1992|p=130}} The phoneme {{IPA|/ʎ/}} may be realized closer to {{IPA|[lj]}} in the pronunciation of some younger Philippine Spanish speakers.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=41}} Sometimes {{IPA|/ʎ/}} is depalatalized to {{IPA|[l]}} in word-initial positions: for example, {{Wikt-lang|es|lluvia}} ({{gloss|rain}}), normally pronounced {{IPA|/ˈʎubia/}}, is pronounced {{IPA|[ˈlubja]}}.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=95}}

While ''[[yeísmo]]'', which merges the two, is today considered extremely rare and idiosyncratic in Philippine Spanish,{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=41}} it has been suggested that a more ''yeísta'' pronunciation was previously standard owing to the influence of both Andalusian and [[Mexican Spanish]] speakers in the 16th and 17th centuries. Speakers only shifted to a contrasting pronunciation, which was characteristic of the aristocratic Castilian pronunciation of the time, toward the end of the 19th century in the final years of Spanish colonization.{{sfn|Lipski|1986a|p=47}}

Newer generations of Spanish speakers have begun adopting phonological features closer to standard Peninsular Spanish, including ''yeísmo'', as a result of being educated in that dialect,{{sfn|Andrés Barrenechea|2013|p=43}} although the majority of those studying Spanish in the Philippines as a foreign language nonetheless continue to contrast both sounds.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=420}}

===Seseo===
Like Latin American Spanish, Philippine Spanish originally practiced ''[[Phonological history of Spanish coronal fricatives#Seseo|seseo]]'', where {{IPA|/θ/}} is normally not distinguished from {{IPA|/s/}}. This is particularly evidenced by borrowings into the Philippine languages where, for example, {{Wikt-lang|es|cerveza}} ({{gloss|beer}}), pronounced {{IPA|/seɾˈbesa/}}, became Tagalog {{Wikt-lang|tl|serbesa}}.{{sfn|Lipski|1986a|p=46}} Although ''seseo'' remains the dominant pronunciation today,{{sfn|Quilis|1993|p=13}} in a similar way to the introduction of a contrast between ''y'' and ''ll'' at the end of the 19th century, some native speakers have begun practicing ''[[Phonological history of Spanish coronal fricatives#Distinction|distinción]]'',{{sfn|Lipski|1986a|p=46}} where {{IPA|/θ/}} is distinguished from {{IPA|/s/}}, but do not always do so consistently.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=40}}

Newer generations of Spanish speakers have begun adopting ''distinción'' as a result of being educated in Peninsular Spanish, alongside a contemporary adoption of ''yeísmo''.{{sfn|Andrés Barrenechea|2013|p=43}} Among those studying Spanish in the Philippines as a foreign language, most practice ''distinción'' although a large group of students nonetheless practice ''seseo'', and among those who do practice ''distinción'', most do so inconsistently.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=418}}

===Pronunciation of plosive consonants===
The consonants {{IPA|/b/}}, {{IPA|/d/}} and {{IPA|/g/}} are uniformly pronounced as [[plosive]] (hard) consonants in Philippine Spanish, contrasting with other Spanish dialects where these are usually softened to either [[approximant]]s or [[fricative]]s.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=40}} While the softened pronunciations are also heard, this varies between speakers and even between individual phonemes.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=86}}

Of particular note is the pronunciation of [[intervocalic consonant|intervocalic]] {{IPA|/d/}}, where it can even overlap with and is occasionally pronounced as {{IPA|[ɾ]}} as is the case in the Philippine languages.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=86}} This trait has also carried over to Chavacano and has influenced how the Philippine languages have treated Spanish loans as in the case, for example, of Spanish {{Wikt-lang|es|pared}} ({{gloss|wall}}) becoming Tagalog {{Wikt-lang|tl|pader}}.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=40}}

Intervocalic {{IPA|/d/}} is also frequently [[elision|elided]], particularly with words ending in the suffix {{Wikt-lang|es|-ado}}.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=40}}

===Palatalization and affrication===
Before [[close vowel]]s ({{IPA|/i/}} and {{IPA|/u/}}), {{IPA|/d/}} and {{IPA|/t/}} are often [[palatalization (phonetics)|palatalized]] by Philippine Spanish speakers, becoming {{IPA|/dʲ/}} and {{IPA|/tʲ/}} respectively. Occasionally these would be [[Affricate#Affrication|affricated]] instead, becoming {{IPAblink|dʒ}} and {{IPAblink|tʃ}} respectively as in the case of Spanish loans to the Philippine languages. For example, {{Wikt-lang|es|Dios}} ({{gloss|God}}), normally pronounced {{IPA|/ˈdios/}}, would be pronounced {{IPA|[ˈd͡ʒos]}} (Tagalog {{Wikt-lang|tl|Diyos}}), or {{Wikt-lang|es|tiangue}} ({{gloss|open-air market}}), normally pronounced {{IPA|/ˈtjanɡe/}}, would be pronounced {{IPA|[ˈt͡ʃaŋɡe]}} (Tagalog {{Wikt-lang|tl|tiyangge}}).{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=87}}

In a similar manner, speakers also occasionally palatalize {{IPA|/s/}} to {{IPAblink|ʃ}} when placed before a close vowel. For example, {{Wikt-lang|es|negocio}} ({{gloss|business}}), normally pronounced {{IPA|/neˈɡosjo/}}, would be pronounced {{IPA|[neˈɡoʃo]}} (Tagalog {{Wikt-lang|tl|negosyo}}).{{sfn|Quilis|1992|p=187}}

===Retraction of {{IPA|/x/}} to {{IPA|[h]}}===
The velar jota sound ({{IPA|/x/}}) is present in Philippine Spanish, similar to standard Peninsular Spanish, though this is mostly retracted to glottal {{IPAblink|h}}, which also occurs in Andalusian, Caribbean, Canarian, Central American, and Colombian Spanish.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=42}}

===Merger of non-open vowels and bilabial consonants===
Often interchanged in Philippine Spanish are the non-open vowels {{IPA|/e/}} and {{IPA|/i/}}, {{IPA|/o/}} and {{IPA|/u/}},{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=82}} and the bilabial consonants {{IPA|/p/}} and {{IPA|/f/}},{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=90}} following a similar tendency in the Philippine languages.{{sfn|Quilis|1992|p=187}} For example, {{Wikt-lang|es|Filipinas}} ({{gloss|Philippines}}) would be pronounced {{IPA|[piliˈpinas]}} (Tagalog {{Wikt-lang|tl|Pilipinas}}), {{Wikt-lang|es|tenía}} ({{gloss|I had}}) would be pronounced {{IPA|[tiˈnia]}}, and {{Wikt-lang|es|comen}} ({{gloss|they eat}}) would be pronounced {{IPA|[ˈkumen]}}.{{sfn|Quilis|1992|p=186}}

===No aspiration of {{IPA|/s/}}===
Unlike many Peninsular and Latin American dialects, syllable-final {{IPA|/s/}} is always pronounced as an alveolar sibilant ({{IPAblink|s}}), rather than a glottal fricative ({{IPAblink|h}}). For example, {{Wikt-lang|es|mosca|las moscas}} ({{gloss|flies}}, as in [[Fly|the insect]]) is always pronounced {{IPA|[las ˈmoskas]}}.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=91}} The retention of ''s'' is reflective of the influence of northern Peninsular Spanish dialects, although it is considered an unusual development in Philippine Spanish given the large number of Andalusian Spanish speakers among the last wave of Spanish migrants to the Philippines.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=40}}

In contrast, Chavacano speakers do practice syllable-final S-dropping, most notably among older Zamboagueño speakers.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=41}}

===Glottal stop===
As a result of contact with the Philippine languages, the [[glottal stop]] {{IPA|[ʔ]}} regularly manifests in the speech of most (if not all) Philippine Spanish speakers, and is normally found in word-initial positions where the pronunciation begins with a vowel.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|pp=42–43}} For example, {{Wikt-lang|es|alma}} ({{gloss|spirit}}) would be pronounced {{IPA|[ˈʔalma]}}.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=83}} This is also present when the word is preceded by a pause, which in other Spanish dialects would be subject to consonantal linking (similar to the ''[[liaison (French)|liaison]]'' in French). For example, {{Wikt-lang|es|hombre|el hombre}} ({{gloss|the man}}) would be pronounced as {{IPA|[elˈʔombɾe]}} in Philippine Spanish but {{IPA|[eˈlombɾe]}} in other Spanish dialects.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|pp=42-43}}

The glottal stop also appears in some vowel sequences, serving to clearly delineate syllables from one another. For example, {{Wikt-lang|es|maíz}} ({{gloss|corn}}) would be pronounced {{IPA|[maˈʔis]}}, and {{Wikt-lang|es|baúl}} ({{gloss|trunk}}, as in [[Trunk (luggage)|the luggage]]) would be pronounced {{IPA|[baˈʔul]}}.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=83}}

==={{IPA|[ɾ]–[l]}} shift===
Philippine Spanish clearly distinguishes between the use of {{IPA|[ɾ]}} and {{IPA|[l]}}, similar to standard Peninsular Spanish. However, earlier speakers may have interchanged both sounds, with {{IPA|/l/}} becoming {{IPA|[ɾ]}} and {{IPA|/ɾ/}} becoming {{IPA|[l]}} as in Andalusian and Caribbean Spanish, and which was retained in the various Chavacano dialects.{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=42}}

Despite this distinction certain words in the Philippine Spanish lexicon nevertheless reflect this earlier tendency to interchange both sounds, such as ''balasar'', a variant of {{Wikt-lang|es|barajar}} ({{gloss|to shuffle}}) which the dialect had preserved.{{sfn|Quilis|1992|p=191}}

===Treatment of ''tl''===
Similar to Latin American, Canarian and certain Peninsular Spanish dialects,<ref name="tl" /> Philippine Spanish pronounces the letter sequence ''tl'' in the same syllable. For example, the word {{Wikt-lang|es|atlas}} is pronounced {{IPA|[ˈa.tlas]}}, not {{IPA|[ˈat.las]}} as in standard Peninsular Spanish.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=88}}

==Morphology and syntax==
Philippine Spanish has been described as having no particularly unique morphological features,{{sfn|Quilis|1992|p=188}} although deviations from standard Spanish morphology and syntax have been reported as a result of Spanish's position as a minority language in the Philippines.{{sfn|Steinkrüger|2008|p=231}}

===Pronouns===
Alongside [[Equatoguinean Spanish]], Philippine Spanish is one of only two Spanish dialects outside of Spain to use the second-person plural pronoun ''[[Spanish personal pronouns#Use of vosotros|vosotros]]'',{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=43}} although ''ustedes'', standard in Latin America, has been reported as also being common in written texts.{{sfn|Moreno de Alba|2011|p=34}} The second-person familiar pronoun ''tú'' is also freely used, even in situations where the polite pronoun ''usted'' would be used instead,{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=43}} and while the various Chavacano dialects developed the use of ''[[voseo]]'', this development is absent in Philippine Spanish, which is exclusively ''tuteante''.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=117}}

Unlike other overseas Spanish dialects, Philippine Spanish is said to employ ''[[leísmo]]'', where the pronoun ''le'' is used when referring to third-person masculine direct objects instead of ''lo'' as is the case elsewhere,{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=43}} although others have said this only represents a minority of speakers and that Philippine Spanish speakers mostly use ''lo''.{{sfn|Quilis|1992|p=188}} However, for indirect objects, the use of ''le'' is predominant, with a minority of speakers using ''la'' (''[[loísmo|laísmo]]'').{{sfn|Quilis|1992|p=188}}

===Possession and derivation===
Indicating [[Possession (linguistics)|possession]] in Philippine Spanish is frequently expressed not through possessive adjectives, but rather by combining the object with the construction ''de'' ({{gloss|of}}) and the possessor. For example, instead of {{lang|es|nuestros parientes}} ({{gloss|our relatives}}) as in standard Spanish, Philippine Spanish speakers would often say {{lang|es|los parientes de nosotros}} ({{literal translation|the relatives of us}}).{{sfn|Quilis|1992|p=189}} This also happens with the third-person possessive pronoun ''su'', which parallels Latin American usage with speakers alternating between, for example, {{lang|es|Este perro es suyo}} ({{literal translation|This dog is theirs}}) and {{lang|es|Este perro es de él}} ({{literal translation|This dog is of him}}).{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=116}} A similar phenomenon also defines the naming of certain flora, with fruit trees sometimes being called the tree of that fruit. For example, while Spanish has an actual word for an orange tree, {{Wikt-lang|es|naranjo}}, Philippine Spanish speakers would sometimes say ''árbol de naranja'' instead.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=114}}

In expressing [[Morphological derivation|derivation]], the most commonly-used [[suffix]] for creating [[diminutive]]s in Philippine Spanish is {{Wikt-lang|es|-ito}}, although {{Wikt-lang|es|-illo}} is also encountered but less commonly.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=112}} For [[augmentative]]s, the most commonly-used suffix is {{Wikt-lang|es|-ón}}, followed by {{Wikt-lang|es|-azo}} and {{Wikt-lang|es|-ote}} in order of frequency.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=113}} Meanwhile, for forming [[collective noun]]s, the most common suffix is {{Wikt-lang|es|-ada}}, followed by {{Wikt-lang|es|-aje}} when referring to people. For plants and produce, the most common suffix is {{Wikt-lang|es|-al}}, followed by {{Wikt-lang|es|-ero}} and {{Wikt-lang|es|-ar}}, but [[noun phrase]]s formed by combining the name of the plant or produce, either with or without the standard suffixes depending on the plant or produce being discussed, with ''plantación (de)'' ({{gloss|plantation [of]}}), ''campo (de)'' ({{gloss|field [of]}}) or ''sementera (de)'' ({{gloss|land sown with}}) are also commonly employed.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=114}}

===Negation===
In certain cases, Philippine Spanish expresses [[Affirmation and negation#Negation|negation]] in a manner broadly similar to other Spanish varieties. For example, the determiner {{Wikt-lang|es|más}} ({{gloss|more}} or {{gloss|else}}) is used to amplify {{Wikt-lang|es|nunca}} ({{gloss|never}}), {{Wikt-lang|es|nadie}} ({{gloss|no one}}), {{Wikt-lang|es|nada}} ({{gloss|nothing}}) and {{Wikt-lang|es|ninguno}} ({{gloss|nobody}}) and is normally found in a postnominal (after the word) position, but occasionally this is reversed by Philippine Spanish speakers with ''más'' appearing in the prenominal (before the word) position.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=124}}

Other cases exhibit deviations from standard Spanish usage. The negative adverbial phrase ''no más'' ("no more"), for example, is used in one of three ways in Philippine Spanish:{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|pp=124–125}}

*To express exactness (''Lo tiene al lado mismo no más''; {{literal translation|He/she has it exactly right next to him/her}}).
*As an emphatic suffix (''Estaba bromeando no más''; {{literal translation|I was only joking}}). This use of ''no más'' is also found in Latin American Spanish, and is equivalent to the use of {{Wikt-lang|es|solo}} or {{Wikt-lang|es|solamente}} in standard Spanish.<ref name="nomás" />
*To express finiteness (''No hay más carruajes''; {{literal translation|There aren't carriages any more}}). This use of ''no más'' may have come about as a result of English influence, and is equivalent to the use of {{Wikt-lang|es|ya no}} in other Spanish varieties.

Adverbial ''no'' is also regularly paired with other adverbs to express negation, even if the pairing would be considered redundant in standard Spanish. For example, Philippine Spanish speakers often pair adverbial ''no'' with {{Wikt-lang|es|tan}} and {{Wikt-lang|es|tanto}} (or even {{Wikt-lang|es|tantito}}), both implying extent, as a substitute for ''no muy'' ({{gloss|not very}}) and ''no mucho'' ({{gloss|not much}}) respectively.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=125}} In a similar manner, Philippine Spanish speakers also often substitute {{Wikt-lang|es|tampoco}} ({{gloss|neither}}) with ''también no'' ({{literal translation|also no}}),{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|pp=125–126}} which is normally considered incorrect in standard Spanish,<ref name="tambien" /> and even ''tampoco'' itself is paired with ''no'' to create the redundant [[double negative]] ''tampoco no'' ({{literal translation|neither no}}),{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|pp=125-126}} which in standard Spanish is likewise normally considered incorrect.<ref name="tampoco" />

==Vocabulary==
[[File:Selection of Philippine literature in Spanish.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Selected books from the corpus of [[Philippine literature in Spanish]], both historical and contemporary]]
{{See also|List of Spanish words of Austronesian origin}}

Over the centuries Philippine Spanish has developed a corpus of ''filipinismos'' ({{literal translation|Philippinisms}}), vocabulary and expressions that are unique to the dialect, of which some have even entered Spanish more broadly and others which have influenced the native languages of the Philippines. Philippinisms in Philippine Spanish are usually derived from a number of sources: words borrowed into Spanish from the Philippine or other foreign languages, Spanish words that have since fallen out of use in Spain or in Spanish more broadly, and Spanish expressions made by Philippine Spanish speakers or are otherwise unique to the country.{{sfn|Donoso Jiménez|2018|pp=28–29}} Since the mid-20th century, the Philippine Spanish lexicon has also been significantly influenced by English, similar to the situation with Spanish in [[Puerto Rican Spanish|Puerto Rico]] and the [[Spanish language in the United States|United States]].{{sfn|Steinkrüger|2008|p=231}}

Although there are efforts in documenting ''filipinismos,'' and people studying Spanish as a foreign language today still learn and use Philippine Spanish vocabulary,{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=426}} many of them are in danger of disappearing due to the "foreignization" of Spanish language education in the Philippines (as Peninsular instead of Philippine Spanish is taught in schools), alongside poor documentation practices which lead to, among others, some expressions not being documented and some whose origin is obscured, and a lack of a stronger effort to compile a comprehensive dictionary of these expressions, or at least to include them in the ''[[Diccionario de la lengua española]]''.{{sfn|Donoso Jiménez|2018|pp=28–29}}

===From Latin American Spanish===
Philippine Spanish incorporates a number of words and expressions from Latin American Spanish varieties, most notably from Mexican Spanish but also including influences from other dialects.{{sfn|Lipski|2012|p=308}} Words like {{Wikt-lang|es|metate}},{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|Quilis-Sanz|1997|p=37}} {{Wikt-lang|es|tiangue}} and {{Wikt-lang|es|chongo}} reflect this influence, as well as the use of certain [[hypocorism]]s.{{sfn|Lipski|2012|p=308}}

Latin American influence in Philippine Spanish is also reflected in the use of Americanisms like {{Wikt-lang|es|maní}} to describe [[peanut]]s and {{Wikt-lang|es|hincar|hincarse}} to describe [[kneeling]], instead of the Peninsular Spanish equivalents {{Wikt-lang|es|cacahuete}} (or even the Mexican variant {{Wikt-lang|es|cacahuate}}) and {{Wikt-lang|es|arrodillar|arrodillarse}}.{{sfn|Lipski|2012|p=308}}

===From Peninsular Spanish===
Much of the basic vocabulary of Philippine Spanish is also derived from Peninsular Spanish. For example, Philippine Spanish uses {{Wikt-lang|es|patata}} to describe a [[potato]], the same as in Spain.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=277}} Some words do take on a different meaning in Philippine Spanish: for example, while speakers use the Latin American {{Wikt-lang|es|camarón}} to describe a [[shrimp]],{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=207}} the Peninsular equivalent {{Wikt-lang|es|gamba}} is also used but with a slightly more specialized meaning (in this case, a shrimp smaller than a ''camarón'').{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=241}}

In certain cases some words are used by speakers in a more-or-less equal proportion, such as with the Peninsular {{Wikt-lang|es|melocotón}} and the Latin American {{Wikt-lang|es|durazno}} to describe a [[peach]].{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=261}} In others, the Peninsular equivalent isn't used at all: for example, to describe an [[apartment]] the Latin American terms {{Wikt-lang|es|apartamento}} and {{Wikt-lang|es|departamento}} are used exclusively as opposed to the Peninsular {{Wikt-lang|es|piso}}.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=183}}

===From English===
{{see also|Spanglish}}
Anglicisms in Philippine Spanish can be classified into three types: those that are present in standard Spanish, those that are also found in Spanish as spoken in the United States, and a much smaller number of words that were borrowed into the language but still carry their original spelling and meaning from English. These include words like {{Wikt-lang|es|planta}} for {{gloss|plant}} (instead of {{Wikt-lang|es|fábrica}}), {{Wikt-lang|es|sugestión}} for {{gloss|suggestion}} (instead of {{Wikt-lang|es|sugerencia}}) and the direct importation of English words like {{Wikt-lang|es|avocado}}, {{Wikt-lang|es|jeepney}} and {{Wikt-lang|es|overol}} ({{gloss|overalls}}).{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=136}}

Because Spanish-speaking Filipinos are also fluent in English, English pronunciation also affects how Philippine Spanish speakers pronounce certain words. Some speakers, for example, would pronounce {{Wikt-lang|es|Europa}} ({{gloss|Europe}}) as {{IPA|[juˈɾopa]}}, as in English, instead of {{IPA|/euˈɾopa/}}.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=137}}

===Unique words and expressions===
Many words and expressions used by Spanish speakers in the Philippines are unique to Philippine Spanish, though a number of these have since entered the ''Diccionario de la lengua española'' and other publications of the [[Royal Spanish Academy]] (RAE). Some of the first ''filipinismos'' incorporated by the RAE into its publications include words like ''[[karakoa|caracoa]]'', ''[[barangay]]'' and ''[[paraw|parao]]'', which entered the broader lexicon in the late 18th and early 19th century, and the number of ''filipinismos'' has ostensibly grown over time.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|Quilis-Sanz|1997|p=8}}

Unique words and expressions in Philippine Spanish can be broadly placed into four categories:

* Words and expressions borrowed into Philippine Spanish, or even Spanish more broadly, as a result of contact with the Philippine languages (such as {{Wikt-lang|es|bolo}}, which was borrowed from the Tagalog ''[[bolo knife|bolo]]'',{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|Quilis-Sanz|1997|p=23}} or {{Wikt-lang|es|baguio}} to describe [[typhoon]]s).{{sfn|Rodríguez-Ponga|2000|p=397}} However, the extent of borrowing has varied: borrowing from the Philippine languages, or even from other languages like [[Chinese language|Chinese]], into Philippine Spanish has been described as either being mainly limited to flora and fauna, contrasting with the significant influence played by Philippine languages in the development of Chavacano,{{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=44}} or as being more varied but with loans largely being limited to sociocultural domains like food.{{sfn|Flores Sigg|Ramírez Luengo|2019|pp=304–305}}
* Words and expressions that have fallen out of use in other Spanish dialects, but were retained in Philippine Spanish (such as {{Wikt-lang|es|aparador}} to describe a [[wardrobe]], whereas other Spanish dialects would use {{Wikt-lang|es|armario}},{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|Quilis-Sanz|1997|pp=17–18}} the use of {{Wikt-lang|es|aeroplano}} instead of {{Wikt-lang|es|avión}} to describe an [[airplane]],{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=176}} or the use of the dated phrase {{lang|es|¿Cuál es su gracia?}} [{{literal translation|What is your grace?}}] to ask for someone's name,{{sfn|Quilis|1993|p=10}} which has since died out in other countries)<ref name="gracia" />
* Words and expressions that have undergone a [[semantic change]] in Philippine Spanish (such as {{Wikt-lang|es|lenguaje}} to refer to a [[national language]]){{sfn|Lipski|1986b|p=45}}
* Words and expressions in Philippine Spanish that were developed in the Philippines by Spanish speakers and have no (or other) equivalents in other Spanish dialects (such as {{Wikt-lang|es|abrazador}} to describe a [[bolster|bolster pillow]],{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|Quilis-Sanz|1997|p=13}} {{Wikt-lang|es|abogadillo}} to describe a [[paralegal]],{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=174}} or {{Wikt-lang|es|código}} to describe a [[cheat sheet]]){{sfn|Quilis|1992|p=192}}

Many ''filipinismos'' that are commonly used in the Philippines, such as ''[[pandesal|pan de sal]]'' and ''[[kundiman|cundimán]]'', by both Spanish and non-Spanish speakers alike have yet to be recognized by the RAE,{{sfn|Donoso Jiménez|2018|p=28}} and calls have been made for their inclusion.{{sfn|Quilis|Casado-Fresnillo|2008|p=170}}

The '''Embassy of the Philippines in Bucharest''' was the [[diplomatic mission]] of the [[Philippines|Republic of the Philippines]] to [[Romania]]. Opened in 1975, it was located in the neighborhood of [[Cotroceni]], part of [[Sector 5 (Bucharest)|Sector 5]] in western [[Bucharest]].

Closed in 2012 due to a reduction in the Philippines' diplomatic presence worldwide during the presidency of [[Benigno Aquino III]], the mission is scheduled to reopen in 2024.

==History==
Diplomatic relations between the Philippines and Romania were established on March 10, 1972,<ref name="relations" /> the first country in the [[Eastern Bloc]] to do so,<ref name="momentous" /> and beginning a broader push during the presidency of [[Ferdinand Marcos]] to normalize relations between the Philippines and countries within the bloc.<ref name="easternbloc" /> Although relations were initially conducted through the Philippine Mission in [[Geneva]],<ref name="delia" /> a resident embassy in Romania was later opened in March 1975, a month after the opening of the Romanian Embassy in [[Manila]],<ref name="relations" /> with [[Leticia Ramos-Shahani]] serving as the Philippines' first ambassador to Romania as well as the first woman to serve as ambassador to a country in the bloc.<ref name="leticia" /> The mission was also responsible for the Philippines' relations with [[Bulgaria]] and [[Moldova]].<ref name="directory" />

After a massive expansion of the Philippines' diplomatic presence abroad during the presidency of [[Gloria Macapagal Arroyo]], in 2010 Senator [[Franklin Drilon]] questioned the need for embassies in countries with small Filipino communities, including a number of countries in Europe, and called for a review of the Philippines' diplomatic presence worldwide.<ref name="drilon" /> This would lead to the closure of ten posts under Arroyo's successor, [[Benigno Aquino III]], and ultimately to the closure of the Embassy on October 31, 2012.<ref name="closures" /> While it was closed, all three countries where it exercised jurisdiction were placed under the jurisdiction of the Philippine Embassy in [[Budapest]].<ref name="expansion" />

On November 15, 2022, during budget deliberations for the [[Department of Foreign Affairs (Philippines)|Department of Foreign Affairs]] (DFA), Senator [[Loren Legarda]] announced that the Embassy was one of four missions that would reopen in 2024 as part of an expansion of the Philippines' diplomatic presence under [[Bongbong Marcos]].<ref name="reopen" /> This was later confirmed by the Budapest mission on January 29, 2024 when, during its annual consular outreach mission in Bucharest, it noted that this would be its last consular mission owing to the Embassy's impending reopening later in the year,<ref name="outreach" /> and the DFA itself confirmed the reopening on June 21, 2024 during the opening of a new honorary consulate in [[Brașov]].<ref name="brasov" />

The advance team setting up the Embassy announced that they had arrived in Bucharest on September 14, 2024, and are preparing to immediately begin offering consular services once the mission has completed all the required procedures for opening.<ref name="opening" />

==Staff and activities==
The Philippine Embassy in Bucharest was last headed by Ambassador Isaias F. Begonia, the Philippines' most recent resident ambassador to Romania. A career diplomat who was appointed to the position by President Arroyo, he was previously deployed to the Philippine Embassy in [[Doha]] as ambassador to [[Qatar]].<ref name="qatar" /> His appointment was confirmed by the [[Commission on Appointments]] (CA) on May 27, 2009,<ref name="begonia-confirmed" /> and he retired from the foreign service the following year.<ref name="begonia-retired" /> At the time the Embassy closed in 2012, it was headed by Maria Fe T. Pangilinan as ''[[chargé d'affaires|chargée d'affaires]]''.<ref name="pangilinan" />

With the Embassy's impending reopening it is set to be headed by a new ambassador, Noel Eugene E. Servigon, who was appointed to the position by President Marcos on June 11, 2024.<ref name="appointed" /> Prior to becoming Ambassador, Servigon, a career diplomat, served as the Permanent Representative of the Philippines to the [[ASEAN|Association of Southeast Asian Nations]].<ref name="asean" /> His appointment was confirmed by the CA on August 7, 2024.<ref name="confirmed" />

The '''Embassy of the Philippines in Bogotá''' is the [[diplomatic mission]] of the [[Philippines|Republic of the Philippines]] to the [[Colombia|Republic of Colombia]]. Scheduled to fully open in 2024, it is currently located in the ''barrio'' (neighborhood) of [[El Chicó]], part of the locality of [[Chapinero]] in northern [[Bogotá]].

==History==
Although the Philippines and Colombia established diplomatic relations in 1946,<ref name="open" /> and Colombia would open a resident mission in [[Manila]] in 2017,<ref name="enamorado" /> relations between the two countries have historically been conducted through missions in other countries, with Colombia most recently being under the jurisdiction of the Philippine Embassy in [[Brasília]].<ref name="bombing" />

The Philippines began to consider opening a resident mission in Colombia in late 2018, shortly after the opening of the Colombian Embassy in Manila.<ref name="consult" /> On February 18, 2019, during the opening of the new chancery of the [[Embassy of the Philippines, Berlin|Philippine Embassy in Berlin]], Secretary [[Teodoro Locsin Jr.]] of the [[Department of Foreign Affairs (Philippines)|Department of Foreign Affairs]] (DFA) announced that an embassy in Colombia was one of the missions the DFA was planning to open within the next five years,<ref name="berlin" /> a possibility that Colombian Ambassador to the Philippines Víctor Echiverri hinted to shortly afterward.<ref name="enamorado" />

In 2023, the Colombian Embassy in Manila announced during a meeting with the Colombian community in the Philippines that a Philippine embassy was set to open the following year,<ref name="comunidad" /> and during the sixth bilateral consultation meeting between the two countries on August 14, 2024, the DFA confirmed that a team had already been sent to Bogotá to prepare for the mission's opening.<ref name="rojas" /> At the meeting, Foreign Affairs Undersecretary Ma. Theresa P. Lazaro remarked that the Embassy's opening is a "clear signal of the Philippines’ commitment to enhance relations with [[Latin America]]", becoming the second [[Southeast Asia|Southeast Asian country]] after [[Embassy of Indonesia, Bogotá|Indonesia]] to have a resident diplomatic mission in Colombia.<ref name="bcm" />

The advance team setting up the Embassy announced that they had arrived in Bogotá on August 25, 2024, and are preparing to immediately begin offering consular services once the mission has completed all the required procedures for opening.<ref name="opening" /> Consular services will begin to be offered on October 7, 2024.<ref name="services" />

==Chancery==
The [[chancery (diplomacy)|chancery]] of the Philippine Embassy in Bogotá was initially located in a room of the NH Collection Bogotá, a hotel attached to the World Trade Center Bogotá on Calle 100 and Carrera 8 in the northern end of El Chicó.<ref name="officead" /> It secured a temporary office space shortly thereafter at La Noventa, an office building located further south in the same neighborhood at the corner of Calle 90 and Carrera 11.<ref name="shirts" />

==Staff and activities==
The Philippine Embassy in Bogotá is set to be headed by Ambassador Adrian Bernie C. Candolada, who was appointed to the position by President [[Bongbong Marcos]] on June 25, 2024.<ref name="appointed" /> Prior to becoming Ambassador, Candolada, a career diplomat, served as Consul General at the [[Embassy of the Philippines, Singapore|Philippine Embassy in Singapore]], where he was also the mission's second-in-command.<ref name="singapore" /> His appointment was confirmed by the [[Commission on Appointments]] on August 7, 2024.<ref name="confirmed" />

Aside from Colombia, the Embassy has been designated to exercise jurisdiction over [[Ecuador]] and [[Venezuela]].<ref name="appointed" />

== Pronunciation of ll ==

Pronunciation of caballo as kabayo and cebollas as sibuyas is not entirely correct. This pronunciation of ll as y is only found in Tagalog and Bisayan languages. In Ilokano, caballo is kabalyo and in Bikol and Ilokano, cebollas is sibulyas. — Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/119.224.16.169|119.224.16.169]] ([[User talk:119.224.16.169#top|talk]]) 02:09, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

== Contradictions ==
This page is a mess. Apparently the dialect of Spanish spoken in the Philippines is acquired by children by watching ''Dora the Explorer''. Does that mean that it is really a 2nd language? My impression is that as of 2016 Spanish is virtually absent from the country and I see no evidence here to counter that, in fact the Elcano source seems to confirm this. Tell me what to do about this page. --[[User:Jotamar|Jotamar]] ([[User talk:Jotamar|talk]]) 17:16, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

Wikepedia as you probably already know is at the mercy of its writers; many of its writers don’t have integrity in mind. Hispanophiles would do anything even at the expense of integrity. Same thing they did in Wikipedia Spanish Language in the Philippines --[[Special:Contributions/99.141.208.2|99.141.208.2]] ([[User talk:99.141.208.2|talk]]) 09:48, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

==Celebrities?==
Do Pilita Corrales, Ian Veneración and Marian Rivera speak Spanish? --[[User:Shanghaijim|Shanghaijim]] ([[User talk:Shanghaijim|talk]]) 16:14, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

Pilia Corrales does speak Spanish; Jackie Lou,her daughter, does too[[User:BuhayPinoy|BuhayPinoy]] ([[User talk:BuhayPinoy|talk]]) 02:45, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

== Close to disappearing ==

I've deleted the ''Citation needed'' tag which affected this statement: ''the dialect has lost most of its speakers and it might be now close to disappearing''. My reasons to delete the tag are:
* It was added by an IP editor.
* I've been looking for such a citation and I've found nothing that explicitly says that; however, many sources seem to indirectly confirm the statement, and, even more important, what we really need is a source confirming that the dialect is still spoken, which doesn't seem to exist either.

If any editor is not happy about my deletion, please discuss it here. --[[User:Jotamar|Jotamar]] ([[User talk:Jotamar|talk]]) 17:21, 3 January 2019 (UTC)

== Merger ==

See discussion at [[Talk:Mandarin_Chinese_in_the_Philippines|Is this actually a separate variety of Chinese?]] which has the same reasoning as the merge done here. There are no reliable sources specifically describing "Philippine Spanish" as a separate variety of language. The sources only describe the use and education of Spanish in the Philippines. The claims of phonological differences were entirely unsourced. — [[User:MarkH21|MarkH21]] ([[User talk:MarkH21|talk]]) 20:25, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

:Philippine Spanish is a regulated language. It is a recognized and distinct language officially regulated by the '''Academia Filipina de la Lengua Española'''. It is recognized as a Spanish dialect. It is distinct topic and cannot be merged until proven to the contrary. [[Special:Contributions/98.153.5.170|98.153.5.170]] ([[User talk:98.153.5.170|talk]]) 15:36, 17 March 2020 (UTC)

::None of these sources say that this is a distinct dialect. They mention Spanish as a language spoken in the Philippines and give statistics for the number of Spanish speakers in the Philippines, which is thoroughly discussed at [[Spanish language in the Philippines]] and not the same. All of the material here is either [[WP:OR]] or about Spanish in the Philippines without distinction as a separate dialect.{{pb}}We would need a reliable source that directly says something like {{tq|It is recognized as a Spanish dialect}} for it to be separate from [[Spanish language in the Philippines]]. — [[User:MarkH21|MarkH21]][[User talk:MarkH21|talk]] 18:56, 17 March 2020 (UTC)
:::Your contention is not valid. It is recognized by the experts at the Spanish Academy which you are not. Until you get a contrary opinion from other expertsI and the gathering of more sources and consensus this page should not never have be merged and the status quo should therefore be maintained. I will revert this page and do not falsely accuse me again of edit warring and abuse your authority. This page has existed a long time even before your assertions. [[Special:Contributions/98.153.5.170|98.153.5.170]] ([[User talk:98.153.5.170|talk]]) 16:18, 18 March 2020 (UTC)
::::Again, you need a [[WP:RS|reliable source]] that says that this is a distinct variety of Spanish. The existence of a linguistic academy (unlicensed in this case) doesn't say that. Take for example, the [[North American Academy of the Spanish Language]]. It is an academy for the [[Spanish language in the United States|use of Spanish in the United States]], but its existence does not assert that there is a dialect of Spanish unique to the United States. Similarly, the [[Philippine Academy of the Spanish Language]] is an academy for the use of [[Spanish language in the Philippines]].{{pb}}Your continued reverting of the page, even after the redirect was restored by other editors, is [[WP:EW|edit warring]] by definition. But my post on your talk page was a notice, alerting you and warning you about edit warring and the [[WP:3RR|three revert rule]], in case you were not already aware. — [[User:MarkH21|MarkH21]][[User talk:MarkH21|talk]] 10:38, 19 March 2020 (UTC)

== Proposal to recover this page ==

This page about the Philippine dialect of Spanish was turned into a redirect in November 2019, for reasons never really explained. Perhaps the rationale was that there are very few speakers left of this dialect, but we don't know. In any case, the dialect had at its heyday perhaps as many as several million regular speakers, and in my opinion it deserves its own page, especially since I don't see any part of the original page copied to the redirected page. --[[User:Jotamar|Jotamar]] ([[User talk:Jotamar|talk]]) 14:53, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
:The reasoning is described both in the section immediately above this, as well as in the same reasoning as [[Talk:Mandarin_Chinese_in_the_Philippines#Is this actually a separate variety of Chinese?]]. There are no reliable sources that say that Philippine Spanish is actually a separate dialect. All of the existing RSes only described the instruction and use of Spanish language in the Philippines, but not as a separate dialect. {{diff2|924594283|Here}} is some of the (actually referenced) material that was moved over.{{pb}}If you can find RSes that actually document Philippine Spanish as a formally separate dialect, then by all means we should recreate this article. — [[User:MarkH21|MarkH21]][[User talk:MarkH21|talk]] 15:03, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
::Ok, I missed the previous discussion. I was probably too busy at the time, and it didn't help that the redirection was carried out the same day in which the discussion was opened. I have found one source in English by John Lipski: [http://php.scripts.psu.edu/faculty/j/m/jml34/philsp.pdf Contemporary Philippine Spanish ...]. There should be at least some sources in Spanish too. --[[User:Jotamar|Jotamar]] ([[User talk:Jotamar|talk]]) 16:44, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
:::Ah, that's a good one! I'll look for some too; we'll need more than one RS. — [[User:MarkH21|MarkH21]][[User talk:MarkH21|talk]] 16:59, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

Several weeks have gone by, and nothing new appears. In my opinion, one single reliable source is enough to recover the page. If nobody is against it, I'll recover the original contents in a few days. --[[User:Jotamar|Jotamar]] ([[User talk:Jotamar|talk]]) 20:52, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
:{{ping|Jotamar}} One RS is not typically enough, per [[WP:GNG]]. Most of the previous material wouldn’t be recovered anyways as it was entirely [[WP:OR]]. If a new RS is found, the article should only contain material actually from the RSes. — [[User:MarkH21|MarkH21]][[User talk:MarkH21|talk]] 20:55, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
::I'm quite sure there are more reliable sources about this, written in Spanish and in printed form. However, right now it's difficult for me to track them. I don't think postponing indefinitely the recovery of the page is a good idea. --[[User:Jotamar|Jotamar]] ([[User talk:Jotamar|talk]]) 21:04, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
:::There is no deadline or rush. Once we find another reliable source, we can build an article from it.{{pb}}A book [https://books.google.com/books?id=dKMxRp5wfw4C&pg=PA423 here] (End of note 2) actually discusses the study and potential distinction of non-creole Philippine Spanish, but the only source mentioned is the Lipski article that you already linked. The cited French-language Quilis source might say something about it as well though.{{pb}}I found access to the Quilis source [https://www.e-periodica.ch/digbib/view?pid=rlr-001:1980:44::458#86 here], but one has to make sure that it is actually describing a non-Creole variety of Spanish that is also distinct from other varieties of Spanish. As the discussion on page 87 delineates between its focus on {{tq|langues mixtes}} ([[mixed language]]s and creoles like Chavacano) and {{tq|langues mélangées}} (which may include dialects and creoles as well). The latter would be the part to focus on. — [[User:MarkH21|MarkH21]][[User talk:MarkH21|talk]] 21:10, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi, folks (tagging {{u|Jotamar}} and {{u|MarkH21}}). This proposal has been pretty dormant for the last three years, so I took the liberty of redoing the article as part of a long-running discussion on Commons over including the Philippines on linguistic maps of Spanish that we use on Wikipedia (discussion [[:c:Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/User problems#Spanish linguistic maps and edit war instigation|here]]). It's not done just yet (I intend to do some additional research once I return to Spain, including getting my hands on a copy of ''[https://books.google.com/books?id=xq_Lr-47DVUC&pg=FC La lengua española en Filipinas]'' by Antonio Quilis and Celia Casado-Fresnillo, which talks about Philippine Spanish extensively), but it's significantly more sourced than the previous version of the article, and I took pains to make sure that the sources in question specifically mention Philippine Spanish (the dialect) as opposed to Chavacano, though features of the two languages overlap. I look forward to continuing work on this article as time allows and as we encounter more sources. --[[User:Sky Harbor|Sky Harbor]] ([[User talk:Sky Harbor|talk]]) 00:58, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
