  For other uses see: radio (disambiguation)

Radio is a technology that allows the transmission of signals by modulation of electromagnetic waves with frequencies below those of light.


Radio wavesRadio waves are a form of electromagnetic radiation, and are created whenever a charged object accelerates with a frequency that lies in the radio frequency (RF) portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. This is the range from a few tens of hertz to a few gigahertz. Electromagnetic radiation travels (propagates) by means of oscillating electric and magnetic fields that pass through the air and the vacuum of space equally well, and does not require a medium of transport.

Other varieties Some varieties based on the nearby regions are Davaeño spoken in Davao and Cotabateño spoken in Cotabato. Three other known varieties of Chabacano which have Tagalog as their base are: Caviteño, Ternateño, and Ermitaño. There is also a version that is said to exist in Sabah, Malaysia. Ermitaño is said to be extinct, however a total of 210,000 speak Caviteño & Ternateño, according to the 2000 Census.


Historical development (Zamboangueño) In June 23, 1635, Zamboanga became a permanent foothold of the Spanish government known as San José Fort. Bombardment of Muslim attackers, harassments of Muslim pirates and the determination to spread Christianity forced friars to request Spanish reinforcements. Zamboanga or San José Fort was also a crucial strategic location. From then on, constant Spanish military reinforcements as well as increased presence of Spanish religious institutions and educational institutions have fostered the Spanish creole.

You know why there are bisayans and chabacano in Malaysia, especially in Sabah?
That is because historically Sabah should have been part of the Philippine territory..To bad our the government do not have political teeth on the matter, if the Philippines are to claim Sabah now in UN, it would be next to impossible already.

[dalawapo]

the philippines need to learn how to get along with muslim malay, christian malay, and animist malay within our own borders before even thinking of including a land that is inhabited by diverse religious practioners.....

we should acknowledge ourselves not as a "prodominately christian country" but as a proud "multicultural/religious country" and then people like sabah may had more desire to join us.

[nama_user]

I remember when Soekarno, the first Indo president declared Ganyang Malaysia, he wanted all of Borneo to be Indonesia's

[dalawapo]

could u see malaysia and indonesia unification in the future?

[BishoujoHunter]

many filipinos were deported from sabah

[Iron Malayan]

Are Chabacanos and Chicanos related ? (IMG:http://www.asiafinest.com/forum/style_emoticons/default/embarassedlaugh.gif) jk.

[dalawapo]

yes, chavacanos are people who speak a language that is most closer to spanish. they speak a bisayan-spanish creole.

Uh wrong the Philippines is an pre-dominantly christian country. The Christian malays make up 91.5% of the filipino population. Saying the Philippines isn't pre-dominately chritian is like saying Malaysia or Indonesia isn't pre-dominately muslim.

Here is where I got my sources fromFACTS

[dalawapo]

then our islands will remain disunified, the cultural and religious minorities have legitamate claim to more land area in the philippines. igorots ancestral land is a big chunk of luzon island.

the indigenous lumads ancestral land is a big chunk of midanao island and unconquered moros have claims to another chunk of mindanao and sulu archpielago and even palawan island is a moro accquired land.

if u dont want to acknowledge them as part of the nation as equal partners and equal representation fil-am, they will try to better themesleves and fight to have their own nation so they will not be seen as "second class citizens" in their own ancestral lands.

so filipinos needs to recognize the philippines as a multi-cultural and mult-religious state bond together under the indigenous concept of brotherhood and nationalism.

fil-am u are going to destory nationalism and unity of the philippines. by promoting caste system.
