My personal attempt to archive the<br \/>\nforgotten flavors of Cavite City and the plan to transcend it to the entire Cavite<br \/>\nprovince. But I got stuck with Cavite City content and as I dug deeper into my<br \/>\ncity\u2019s culinary roots, I found myself drawn to something far greater: our <em data-end=\"523\" data-start=\"513\">heritage.<\/em><em><span style=\"font-style: normal;\"> Thanks<br \/>\nto Sir Ige Ramos<\/span><\/em>. And nestled within that heritage was a language<br \/>\nso familiar &#8211; <em data-end=\"607\" data-start=\"587\">Chabacano Cavite\u00f1o<\/em> &#8211; the<br \/>\nvery language I grew up speaking at home since I was a baby.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"1075\" data-start=\"678\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Only a few years ago, while going through old<br \/>\nfamily photos, I discovered that my grandfather a well-known shop teacher at<br \/>\nSan Roque Elementary School was once part of an elite group of Cavite\u00f1os<br \/>\nadvocating for the preservation of Chabacano called <i>C\u00edrculo Chabacano Cavite\u00f1o<\/i>.<br \/>\nKnowing him, it made sense. He was articulate, intelligent, and deeply<br \/>\ncommunity-minded. But oddly, he never once talked about this part of his life<br \/>\nat home.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"1816\" data-start=\"1077\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">When I began posting in Chabacano facts on the<br \/>\nblog\u2019s Facebook page out of frustration of the closure of the city library, parents occasionally reach out for translation help. One<br \/>\nmessage stuck with me: a mother said her child&#8217;s lolo a native Chabacano speaker couldn&#8217;t understand the<br \/>\nChabacano poem the child had to study and recite, when I check it was in <em data-end=\"1363\" data-start=\"1339\">Chavacano de Zamboanga<\/em>! It is what is being<br \/>\ntaught in one of the city school. That moment echoed the same frustration I<br \/>\nfelt more than a decade ago when I couldn\u2019t find a single online resource about<br \/>\nCavite City\u2019s Chabacano cuisine. That very frustration was what gave birth to<br \/>\nthis blog in the first place. So it also planted a dream which is to create<br \/>\neven <em data-end=\"1650\" data-start=\"1640\">just one<\/em> Chabacano children\u2019s book.<br \/>\nJust something <em data-end=\"1700\" data-start=\"1693\">basic<\/em> for our kids because upon my research there is none. A<br \/>\nsingle book for the young students to help them learn even just a few words in the language that<br \/>\ndefines our identity.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"2570\" data-start=\"1818\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">In 2022, I met for the first time Ms. Che Enriquez during an event at<br \/>\nthe Pangilinan ancestral house. Since heritage was of course one of our topic,<br \/>\nand in passing, I mentioned my dream of a Chabacano book. When I got home, I<br \/>\nmessaged her and offered her the idea. I even said she could put her name on<br \/>\nit. I didn\u2019t care about credit; I just wanted the book to happen. Before the<br \/>\nelections that year, I looked into the fb pages of every candidate who ran for<br \/>\ncouncilor and among them, she was the only one I saw who had a genuine, albeit<br \/>\nscattered, passion for heritage. I posted in one of her campaign post, people<br \/>\nshould vote her which was the first time I did for any city candidate. I didn\u2019t<br \/>\nattend any campaign events. I wasn\u2019t into politics and don&#8217;t know her personally. I only knew she studied at<br \/>\nSt. Joseph, like me. <\/p>\n<p data-end=\"2620\" data-start=\"2572\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">So why her despite she did not win the elections? There was something in her aura &#8211;<br \/>\nsincerity, goodness, and a heart that I trusted that very first time I saw and<br \/>\nobserve her. Add I know she had the machinery and the mind for it. <span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0<\/span>Her response then was lukewarm, so I let the idea<br \/>\ngo and totally had forgotten it and her.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"3039\" data-start=\"2622\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Almost two years later Lutong Cavite started some Chabacano documentation and out of the blue, she<br \/>\nmessaged me. She wanted to do the book. I was surprised, but I said yes. I wrote<br \/>\n\u201cLutong Cavite\u201d as the author, thinking this was a one-time collaboration then<br \/>\nwe part ways. But that single book turned out to be the beginning of something <em data-end=\"2907\" data-start=\"2894\">much bigger<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em data-end=\"845\" data-start=\"801\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/a\/AVvXsEgJpqzitQTHjN-txXD9gvQTyKhFIZGGH97RdSeNMgswBuuflGqHn2F98e6kXUZfMcuFuBGqKwPnuwtHeb6X9hx0ksLbFw6A03B1Qj7yroCsABxVyP55_5EaQYLu_mdhGm8rensxI2hR_oqyxlbIwjoNv1MGgGJHe3A6cLT0i14SBvIMs0q7cCIR2qxTNRcZ\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-original-height=\"2048\" data-original-width=\"1536\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/a\/AVvXsEgJpqzitQTHjN-txXD9gvQTyKhFIZGGH97RdSeNMgswBuuflGqHn2F98e6kXUZfMcuFuBGqKwPnuwtHeb6X9hx0ksLbFw6A03B1Qj7yroCsABxVyP55_5EaQYLu_mdhGm8rensxI2hR_oqyxlbIwjoNv1MGgGJHe3A6cLT0i14SBvIMs0q7cCIR2qxTNRcZ=w300-h400\" width=\"300\"\/><\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I still vividly remember when she handed me the very first printed copy of <em data-end=\"659\" data-start=\"617\">El Chabacano Cavite\u00f1o Diccionario Visual<\/em> in<br \/>\nthe parking lot of Lago. The second time we met, stepping out of a Ford Fortuner, handing the book like<br \/>\na boss then instructing me to check it for corrections, and driving off just as quickly.
