so i joined fotolog and i wanted to check people in my region and what found is that 99% of the people in my region are all spanish, they write in spanish and have nothing filipino in resemblance all pics are all from spain or europe with nothing connection to philippines yet they put their address in the philippines like example i found many of them puting the address and location in my region "negros" and there many who put their location in weird places like camuigin, basilan... etc lol wtf is that somekind of trip? lol
Maybe Negros, Basilan, Camuigin are Spanish terms adopted by Filipinos or other way around. Negros I'm sure is Spanish. I mean, we have Nueva Caceres, Nueva Ejica, Negros, Toledo, Angeles, Vigan obviously with a Spanish connection.
I was surprised to learn that baka which means cow to us, is from Vaca which means cow and beef. Irrelevant extension - Vaccination derives from Vacca, Cow in Latin. I can't remember at the top of my head the other realizations when I was learning Spanish but there are quite a few of them.
