Tagbis ka man uy!

Tagbis - The most famous 'lingo' in Davao city, commonly used by socialites, trying hard socialites and trying hard linguists. It's a mixture of Tagalog and Cebuano (Bisaya) dialect, that's why it is called 'TAGBIS'. In our 'Filipino' subject it's called 'Tagalog Davao' because it is use only here in Davao City but students call it Tagbis for a funnier term. Majority of the people who speaks this 'lingo' can be found in private schools of Davao. It's really funny and sometimes irritating when you hear a person talking in 'TAGBIS', maybe it's because of the mixture of the two dialect, and made it sound like 'maarte'. Now, this so called new dialect is very common, most of my classmates in Ateneo speaks this dialect. Funny, but sometimes I'll just go along with my classmates and hold my laugh.

Why do we have 'Tagbis?
- Many of the students from private schools especially from a middle class to a higher class family grew up with Tagalog (pang conyo daw kuno) as their first language. As they socialize and communicate with other students that speaks Cebuano (Bisaya) in their school, they would try to communicate in that dialect for them to interact with each other;Cebuano-Tagalog and Tagalog-Cebuano, for that it turns out to be complicated. That's how Cebuano and Tagalog merged and now called 'Tagbis'.

I'm not saying that I hate 'Tagbis, because even I, speaks 'Tagbis' sometimes. Well, it's like a disease that infects others, hangin'out with a friend that speaks the that dialect can slowly make you one. LOL. If you have a classmate or a friend that speaks 'Tagbis' don't be afraid to communicate to them, having a conversation to a person that speaks the dialect is fun but sometimes it irritates you.
