It's not often that a song which mixes a local dialect and Tagalog, enters the OPM charts. With Tagalog being the national language (yeah, they say it's Filipino, but to others like me who speak other dialects, it's really Tagalog and not Filipino - who are they fooling!), it's not surprising that almost all of the songs that hit the OPM charts are in Tagalog, except of course if they're written in English.
So it's a breath of fresh air that a 'Cha-galog' song - a song which combines Chabacano, the dialect of Zamboanga, and Tagalog, has hit the OPM Myx Countdown, from the band, Maldita, which also hails from that place. The song is entitled Porque (Why). Chabacano is actually based on the Spanish language and has been cleverly modified by the people of Zamboanga. I hope the song rises up the charts!
