One political observer said: “Way bisan usa sa siyam ka kandidato pagka Presidente ang makalupig ni GMA when it comes to languages.” He said GMA speaks Cebuano in Central Visayas and Northern Mindanao, Ilonggo or Hiligaynon in Western Visayas, Pampango in Central Luzon, Tagalog in National Capital Region, and Chabacano in Zamboanga City.
