I've found this video in Chavacano:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34nWf-mcwks&feature=related
It sounds very Spanish, although a weird Spanish. I found other videos and they use "vosotros" and other features which are more Peninsular than Mexican.
Anyway, I encourage everybody who wants to learn it so that learning it. It's a shame that a language disappears, and this one seems to be pretty fun and beautiful to learn.

Alang, in case you're interested in borrowing it I have a Chavacano text book back home in Manila. I'm
China right now though, so perhaps I'll only be able to dig it up next summer when I plan to take a short trip
back home.

@Duke100782,
Thanks for the offer. I live in Canada and my chances of going back to the Philippines is fairly low in the next years, as I want to strengthen my Esperanto, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese. I do listen to Chavacano music from Comic Relief and Maldita.
The reader I will order, only if it comes with a cd(s).
Where were you able to get a text?
The National bookstore I went to did not have anything in Chavacano. I know Zamboanga has some books and music cds, but I have never been there.

It was book given to me by a friend who found out I was intereted in languages. At that time I was
reviewing my Spanish for our country's foreign service exam, and she though the book could help me out.
The book was produced by the Zamoanga City government or some other local government unit. If I
remember it correctly, the book compares Chavacano with Spanish and either English or Tagalog.
