During the stay of the Spaniards near the military arsenal in Cavite City, the people that lived in the proximities of the arsenal put themselves in contact with the Spaniards and began to incorporate in their own dialect many spanish words which gave birth to a Hispanic - Philippine dialect called "Chavacano" of long ago and of today.
According to many opinions, the Chavacano dialect was scattered in different places of the Philippine archipelago, only of its sort in the Far East or perhaps in the Hispanic world.
The Chavacano dialect has the same grace and beauty of the spanish langauge as it has been in its own right and peculiar rules. An example of the Chavacano dialect as shown in the song "Caviteņa"
