MCLL presses for Chavacano
MAYOR Maria Clara L. Lobregat is pursuing her policies for Zamboanga City residents to speak in the local dialect, which is Chabacano.
She said Monday that people in Metro Manila speak in Tagalog while those in Cebu speak in Cebuano. Therefore, we Zamboangueños must also speak in Chabacano, she said.
According to Mayor Lobregat the Chabacano dialect seems to be on the verge of extinction.
Mayor Lobregat insista that Zamboangueños must propagate the dialect by speaking Chabacano always.
Though she said that she doesn't really favor using the dialect during deliberations during Council sessions.
Earlier, Councilor Cesar Iturralde said that he is 100 percent supportive in using of Chabacano dialect during deliberation at the City Council even for once a month only. JEA
