There is a growing clamor of many to help preserve Chavacano, the language that is unique in its own rights in the Philippines these days.
Chavacano is a living language as it continues to evolve through the decades. Thus there is a need to propagate the tongue.
The Chavacano Handbook is registered with the National Library under International Standard Book Number (ISBN) ISBN 978-971-95187-1-9 This book is intended to freeze in time, the language that has been handed down from generation to generations since the Spaniards set foot in Zamboanga near the early part of the 16th century.
Much have been said or written about Chavacano (As it has come to be known). There have been disparaging as well as ennobling write-ups and research findings about Chavacano.
There are or were attempts to pin down on the printed page but few, if any, have come up with recent and updated editions of their works.
In sum, there is this imperative of locking the idiom in the printed page.
This book answers the call of many to help preserve this unique imprint on our lives.
Be a part of this call. Help preserve and perpetuate the Chavacano of our hearts
