Is Filipinas a spanish speaking country?

No, the Philippines is not a Spanish-speaking country. While Spanish was the official language for over 300 years during the Spanish colonization, the primary language spoken in the Philippines is Filipino, a language based on Tagalog.

However, Spanish still has a presence in the Philippines. It is considered a second language and is taught in schools. You will find some Spanish loanwords in Filipino, and some Filipinos can speak Spanish, particularly in older generations.

So, while the Philippines is not primarily Spanish-speaking, Spanish still plays a significant role in its history and culture.
