It is common knowledge that many words in the Filipino language has its roots in Castillan Spanish.

We know that words like plato, kutsara, mesa, kama, sabon, sibuyas, tenedor, coche, kutsilyo, kusina, sapatos, pantalon, patatas and many more.

What i didn't was that the words agogo (yes, agogo-dancer), yaya (over here, it is the name you call the person who took care of you, usually your grandmother), and saklolo (help!!!) are Spanish words too! Would you have thought so?
