Cavite City Historical Society (CCHS), through President Edwin S. Guinto and Treasurer Mabel Guinto, facilitated another consultation with a University of the Philippines Baguio student conducting a thesis on Chabacano Caviteรฑo.

We are grateful to see the growing interest among students and researchers in studying our creole language. Each research project creates an opportunity to deepen our understanding of Chabacano Caviteรฑo and contribute to its documentation, preservation, and revitalization.

A dark chapter of 1896 came alive in the Walled City! ๐ŸŒ™๐Ÿ“œ

โ€‹From December 1896 to April 1897, Camilo Garcรญa Polavieja y del Castillo-Negrete served as Governor-General of the Philippines. Infamously known for confirming the death sentence of Dr. Josรฉ Rizal on December 30, 1896, his actions ignited the fires of the revolution.

โ€‹During the recent Intramuros Night Tour, CCHS President Edwin S. Guinto portrayed Governor-General Polavieja, bringing this crucial moment to life! ๐ŸŽญ๐Ÿ›๏ธ Together with the Republica Filipina Reenactment Group, history was felt right where it happened.

Cavite City Historical Society (CCHS) welcomed back students from FEUโ€“Institute of Technology today for a follow-up consultation and validation of their Chabacano Caviteรฑo visual novel game and hybrid digital comic project.

Following their initial meeting with the CCHS President Edwin Guinto and CCHS Treasurer Mabel Mendoza-Guinto, the students returned to consult with CCHS Independent Author, Researcher, and Chabacano Caviteรฑo Advocate Arlene Cortes on their script, language use, cultural context, and historical details, helping ensure that their digital project presents Chabacano Caviteรฑo heritage with accuracy and respect.

As part of the consultation, CCHS also accompanied the students to the Cavite City Tourism, where they met with Officer-in-Charge Jolina Mabongga and discussed the city's heritage, and cultural resources that may further inform their project.

CCHS is grateful to support young creatives and researchers who are exploring new ways to bring Cavite Cityโ€™s history, language, and culture into digital spaces.

Beyond its rich history and stories of heroism, Cavite City is also one of the countryโ€™s most underrated food heritage destinations - a place where heirloom recipes carry traces of the Galleon Trade, Chabacano culture, and generations of Caviteรฑo tradition.

Our food is not just delicious - it is one of the richest in stories and history in the Philippines, woven together with our beautiful heritage language, traditions, and the community that keeps these culinary treasures alive.

As we celebrate Cavite Cityโ€™s founding month this September, we pay tribute to Agnes โ€œTita Aโ€ Poblete, Nyora Lily Escobar, and CCHS Treasurer Ms. Mabel Mendoza-Guinto, three women who have generously shared their time, knowledge, and culinary skills through TV guestings, interviews, demonstrations, magazine features, and pictorials to help promote and preserve our Chabacano heritage cuisine.

Through their dedication, our culinary heritage continues to be seen, appreciated, and passed on to the next generation.โค๏ธ

CHABACANO CAVITEร‘O, ITINAMPOK SA INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE CONFERENCE SA DENMARK

CAVITE CITY, CAVITE โ€” Umalingawngaw sa pandaigdigang larangan ng wika ang Chabacano Caviteรฑo matapos itong dalhin at itampok ni Arlene Cortes, independent author, researcher at Chabacano Caviteรฑo advocate ng Cavite City Historical Society, sa ginanap na 24th Annual Conference of the Association of Portuguese and Spanish-Lexified Creoles (ACBLPE) at Summer Conference of the Society for Pidgin and Creole Linguistics (SPCL) sa Aarhus University, Denmark.

Dinaluhan ang mga naturang kumperensya ng mga iskolar, researcher at language advocates mula sa ibaโ€™t ibang bansa na nagsasagawa ng pag-aaral, dokumentasyon at mga hakbang para mapangalagaan ang mga pidgin at creole language sa buong mundo.

Isa sa mga binigyang-pansin sa kumperensya ang paksang โ€œDocumenting a Creole: Aligning Community Goals with Research Goals,โ€ na tumalakay sa kahalagahan ng pakikipagtulungan sa mismong komunidad sa pagdodokumento at pagpapanatili ng mga wika.

Sa naturang talakayan, higit na nabigyang-diin ang papel ng mga lokal na tagapagsalita at heritage advocates sa pagtiyak na ang pananaliksik ay nakaayon sa tunay na pangangailangan ng komunidad, partikular sa mga wikang nanganganib na tuluyang mawala.

Kabilang dito ang Chabacano Caviteรฑo, isang Spanish-lexified creole na may malalim na kasaysayan at matibay na kaugnayan sa kultura ng mga taga-Cavite City.

Sa pamamagitan ng international conference, nabigyan ng pagkakataong maipakilala sa mga eksperto at mananaliksik mula sa ibaโ€™t ibang panig ng mundo ang natatanging kuwento, kasaysayan at pamanang nakapaloob sa Chabacano Caviteรฑo.

Hindi rin natatapos sa Denmark ang gawain ni Cortes.

Bahagi ng kanyang patuloy na pagsusulong sa dokumentasyon ng wika ang pakikipagtulungan sa University of Helsinki sa Finland, kasama si contact linguist at Chabacano specialist Dr. Eeva Sippola at doctoral researcher Jillian Melchor.

Matapos ang kanyang paglahok sa kumperensya sa Denmark, nagtungo si Cortes sa Finland upang ipagpatuloy ang kanilang language documentation at research collaboration.

Layunin ng naturang pagtutulungan na higit pang mapalawak ang dokumentasyon ng Chabacano Caviteรฑo habang kinikilala ang mahalagang papel ng mga Caviteรฑo mismo sa pagpapanatili, paggamit at pagpasa ng kanilang sariling wika sa susunod na salinlahi.

Para kay Cortes, ang paglahok sa mga pandaigdigang pagtitipon ay hindi lamang usapin ng akademikong palitan ng kaalaman, kundi pagkakataon ding maiparinig sa mundo ang kuwento ng Cavite at maipakita na ang isang lokal na wika ay bahagi ng mas malawak na pamana ng sangkatauhan.

Nagpaabot din siya ng pasasalamat kay Dr. Sippola at sa Sustainable Linguistics team sa kanilang suporta at sa pagbibigay-daan sa pagkakataong makilahok sa international learning, research at language documentation.

Sa huli, ang Chabacano Caviteรฑo ay hindi lamang wikang minana mula sa nakaraan kundi isang buhay na bahagi ng pagkakakilanlan ng Cavite City.

Sa bawat salitang naitatala, naituturo at naipapasa, nananatiling buhay ang kasaysayan at kultura ng mga Caviteรฑo.

Patunay na ang isang wika, gaano man kaliit ang pinagmulan, ay may kuwentong kayang marinig ng buong mundo.
