The Filipino language for the most part has stayed the same. However, just as many words from the Spanish language was adopted in history into some of the Filipino dialects, primarily Tagalog, English is also finding it's way into acceptance.

However, it is in the form some may know as Taglish. English verbs or adjectives are taken and modified by repeating the first few letters to represent a new Taglish word to enhance the expressions or to use for a better lack of word.

Hope this helps!
