I love this article! I spent over two years in the ROP and I loved the people! I think an article on how Spanish affected the major indigenous language Tagalog would be fascinating. For example the Tagalog greeting "Komo staka" is very close to Como esta and the term for very good "may sarap" is from muey sabroso. (My spelling of Tagalog words are probably wrong.) I also remember that the word for stop in Tagalog is "parar". I know that during my time of the ROP I never heard anyone speak in Spanish. I only wish that I had known some Spanish back then (circa 1977-1980). It certainly would have helped me to learn more Tagalog phrases.

Why is Imperfecto used here for a specific moment in time?

I got this correct in the quiz b/c I followed the hint but I don't understand the use of Imperfecto over Indefinido here if there is a specific time period in the past identified. Why trabajaba rather than trabajo? (I know the hint says "used to" but the question still stands.) Thank you!
