In the Philippines, due to a history of multiple settlements, more than 170 languages ââare spoken and only 2 of them are official in the country: Filipino and English. With very little written, not much is known about this language for the history prior to the arrival of the Spanish during the sixteenth century.
Spanish was the official language of the Philippines from the beginning of Spanish rule in the late 16th century, through the conclusion of the SpanishâAmerican War in 1898. It remained, along with English, as co-official language until 1987.
