CHAVACANO OF ZAMBOANGA NOT CHABACANO

Many Zamboangueños will concede and say chabacano but in reality it is and will always be chavacano. The word chabacano is not unique. It is a Spanish word. However, the word Chavacano is not a spanish word. The word CHAVACANO is only as old as the chavacano language itself. The people of Zamboanga “coined” the word.

Fort Pilar of Zamboanga City
