To answer your question no its not the same but generally most of Filipinos especially the older generation understand uno, dos, tres... diez, veinte, treinta etc... telling the time(a las doce , a las dos) it is widely use among Filipinos. In fact my grandparents and parents has Spanish subject in their classes until they were in college and they do understand spanish. This is not a surprise since Philippines was a colony of Spain for 300 years and spanish culture is a huge part of our history. We do definitely have lots of spanish influence in our culture from food, architecture to language etc.
Hola Destarte.

I had a Filipino student in my Spanish class (aquí en California) that had just came from the Filipines. Every time I would say a Spanish word he would say "We have that word". It was pretty amazing. It was almost or was like he knew all/many Spanish words. He had never studied Spanish before a proposito/by the way.

I think its mainly because for 3 centuries our country is under spanish government, and naturally some of the culture was adapted to our own which includes the language. Though some of it (words) changed and was Filipinized

En este momento, o hoy en día en los Estados Unidos muchas personas están tratando de aprender el español para una pasatiempo divertido y por razones prácticas como para el trabajo. ¿Crees que esto también está ocurriendo en las Filipinas? ¿Crees que los filipinos quieren volver a sus raices latinas y el idioma español que el U.S. les robaron?

Hola. Tengo una pregunta. Do you find English or Spanish harder?

Ahh, your native languages are English and Filipino. So I'd imagine you'd find Spanish harder?

Saludos.

well yes and no
No because i don't really know why but though I don't have that much background in Spanish(other than some words incorporated to Filipino language)but I generally understand the idea whenever someone is speaking to me in Spanish. but yes it is difficult since I have the tendency to mix it up with English and Filipino .

Lo que quiero saber amiga Destarte es si tienen la televisión en español en tu país. Estaciones de televisión en español, pues.
Por ejemplo aquí en los EE.UU. hay más de 500 estaciones de televisión en español. ¿No es sorpendente que en los EE.UU., donde el lenguaje se supone que sea el inglés hay tanto TV en español? Para mí es divertido y interesante. Pero, por supuesto, me encanta el hecho de que tenemos tanto televisión en español aquí en el EE.UU. porque me encanta el idioma español.
