Las Relaciones entre ASEAN y Latinoamérica: Presente y Futuro

La Fundación Global Democracia y Desarrollo (FUNGLODE), presentó, este martes 3 de mayo a las 7:00 PM, la conferencia magistral "Las Relaciones entre ASEAN y Latinoamérica: Presente y Futuro" a cargo de la ex presidente de la República de Filipinas en el período 2000-2010, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.

[@starlightshimmers]

As a Filipino, learning Spanish has taught me that Latinos, Spaniards and Filipinos have a lot in common, from language to culture, and our histories our intertwined. I discovered that Filipinos belong to two communities, the Asian and the Hispanic community. We Filipinos can proudly say that we are both Asian and Hispanic. While we are naturally Asians, we are also inheritly Hispanic, the Hispanic culture is deeply rooted in the Filipino identity.

[@TeaDrinker-eq3md]

Yeah and only ignorant people would disagree with you.

[@bb89670]

True, filipinos have more in common with Latin countries. Not Asia, that's how I see it, same cultures.

[@TeaDrinker-eq3md]

@protectorateXHere we go again with the "I'm not Filipino, but I know the Philippines more than you do." First of all, it's evident that you're unaware of what the fundamental meaning of the word "Hispanic". If you correlate the word "Hispanic" to just people speaking Spanish or maybe looking like a Spaniard or Latino, then you need to go back to school. Second of all, how about Latin and Central America? Not to mention Americans aren't even practicing the aboriginal culture there. They weren't originally "Hispanic". Aren't you gonna "educate" them and tell them "it's retarded you want to be related to a colonial master than enslaved your people just so you can feel special about being a fake Hispanic LOL". See, your logic here is shallower than your mom's sanity. Lastly, compare Indonesia and Malaysia to the Philippines culturally. Majority of Filipinos have Spanish last names (even first names in the past). Our language is comprised of Spanish rooted words. There is even a Spanish creole "Chavacano" in Filipinas which is the oldest Spanish creole in the world (has two variants). There are a ton of places in the Philippines that have Spanish names ( The "Philippines" in fact was named after King Philip II of Spain". Do Malaysians and Indonesians eat food like lechon, arroz caldo, arroz a la valenciana, arroz a la cubana, morisquetta tostada, spanish omelette, spanish bread, afritada, pancit guisado, churros, empanada, igado, leche flan, silvanas, champurrado, chicharron, menudo, filipino churros, tocino, etc? Are Malaysians and Indonesians predominantly Catholic? Do Malaysians and Indonesians celebrate quincenera (debut), dia delos muertos (undas), etc? Do Malaysians and Indonesians do stuff like siesta? Don't educate me, you're not even a Filipino. Do you spend your daily life in Filipinas? What a joke! Your logic itself makes no sense! You gave me a good laugh today, you chowder head.

[@TeaDrinker-eq3md]

@protectorateX And by the way, Spanish is the third language which majority of Filipinos are trying to learn (since we're already being taught Tagalog and English from the very beginning). Mind your own business, you foreign "I know everything" loser.

She speaks spanish with a neutral accent, but it was very clear, you can hear every word she's saying, sobresaliente! presidenta de republica de filipinas.

[@blitzxer017]

that's the filipino accent of the spanish language. filipinos have nuetral accent when they speak spanish.

[@khust2993]

that's Filipino accent.. if most of us Filipinos speak Spanish, that's how would we sound.

[@elok3]

Filipino spanish have the own vocabulary

[@lletraferit]

@@blitzxer017 she doesn’t have a neutral accent at all (nobody says “Asha” when talking about Asia in Spanish). Her accent is quite Filipino actually. Though I find her Spanish to be pretty decent and correct, you can tell it’s not her first language.

[@szarrlja]

@@lletraferit It is because the accent and the Spanish she is speaking is the Filipino Español dialect/ variety... So you might not even recognize it or notice that you are actually hearing the Filipino Spanish already because few speak it nowadays here in our country and not all have the chance to hear it or study about it. Some might think it's a unfamiliar or unknown Spanish accent, but it's actually The Filipino Spanish dialect which is more understandable, more correct in grammar and more closer to the Standard Spanish says most Spaniards and linguists. Sad to say it is dying and neglected, but there is a big rebirth of Hispanic Filipino Culture and the Spanish Filipino language itself here in the Philippines. But she is indeed natural native speaker actually there is a good population and families of Filipino Spanish speakers still speaking the Filipino Spanish variety of The Standard Castillano Español... One of that is her and the rest of other Filipino Alta Sociedad and if you also know the Zobel de Ayala Clan of The Philippines. They are just the perfect example of the few Filipino people who still speak the Filipino Español dialect in their day to day life. Former President Gloria is also a native speaker and she speak it everyday too. Her father is a Spanish speaker also. They are of Filipino Hispanic descent so they speak it up to this day. She is also the reason why Spanish is surviving and flourishing again. You can also find many pages and groups dedicated to us Filipino Spanish speaking population. 👌

I feel so proud to be a Filipino upon hearing the speech of PGMA in Spanish. She carried our beloved country well and I feel sure that the delegates were amazed to hear and to know that our President knows how to speak Spanish.

[@khust2993]

As a Filipino, I am very impressed that she knows how to speak most if not all of the major languages in the Philippines (her native Kapampangan, then Tagalog, Bisaya, Bicolano, Ilocano, Pangasinense, etc.) aside from English and Spanish (also French based on what I've heard). Her Spanish is also interesting since her phonology still retains how most Filipinos pronounce Spanish words.

[@uncommon_name9337]

It should be a requirement if you run for national office

[@johnlanes5425]

I listened to President Emilio Aguinaldo's Spanish Speech and their pronunciation are so similar. This would have been how the language was spoken if it was made official in the country. Kinda remids me of Timorese Portuguese. It is also pronounced somewhat clearer and sort of like Austronesianized if that's even a word.

"Ex-Presidenta de la Republica de Filipinas" Brava Presidente Gloria!! :D

[@netornit]

Presidente Arroyo sabe hablar español, como su padre Diosdado Macapagal quien fue un Presidente de las Filipinas también. Español es una idioma importante para las Filipinas porque sus heroes de la paiz supo la idioma también. Entonces, no se puede excluye la influencia de español en la cultura, historia y sociedad de las Filipinas. Viva las Filipinas! Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!

[@unyelfe]

Jan Emil Langomez : Tienes razón. Sin embargo el idioma español en Filipinas ha ido desapareciendo. Los filipinos debieran rescatar este idioma y darle el carácter de oficial, y enseñarlo nuevamente en las escuelas y universidades. Esto sería muy útil para el desarrollo de Filipinas. Saludos desde Chile.

[@unyelfe]

Christian Vacal: Muy interesante tu comentario. Creo que Filipinas ganaría mucho oficializando nuevamente el idioma español y reintegrándose a la hermandad hispánica, compuesta por más de 20 países. Esto ampliaría la presencia de Filipinas en el mundo globalizado de hoy, abriendo nuevas perspectivas comerciales para los productos filipinos, además de participar en múltiples organizaciones internacionales, foros, intercambios, incluso encuentros deportivos, artísticos, literarios, musicales, educacionales, científicos, etc., etc, etc. Depende de ustedes, los filipinos, ponerse en campaña para recuperar el idioma español y su enseñanza. En los países hispánicos estaremos muy felices en acogerlos nuevamente como un país hermano. Saludos desde Chile.

Latin America economy is growing and the Philippines is a dynamic country with big cultural affinities with the hispanic world. Filipinos must take advantage of this.
