Is Spanish spoken in the Philippines?

No, not really. It's no longer spoken or taught as an official language. Today there are a minority of people who can speak Spanish, but as time goes by that number is decreasing. Spanish was the official language of the Philippines for more than three centuries during Spanish colonial rule. Today, the official languages of the Philippines are Filipino and English. Of the 175 languages spoken in the Philippines today, Spanish is spoken by only 2000 people, and dwindling. Some Filipinos speak Spanish as a second language. Tagalog and English are the official languages of the Philippines.
