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.
In 1898, at the conclusion of the Spanish-American war, Spain ceded the Philippines to the United States. For many years afterwards, Spanish was one of the official languages of the Philippines, along with English and Tagalog. Today, Spanish is no longer an official language, and its usage has gradually declined.
