       Pronouns in Tagalog (Filipino) are non-gendered, as is the term 'anak' (child). However, Filipino dialect of English uses Sir and Ma'am fairly extensively

       @acrata Perhaps they translated Spanish into English.

       @veer66 I believe that they just adopted (perhaps expanded) conventional US English usage. Few Filipinos are familiar with Spanish, I've talked to many who are not even aware that the many borrowings in Tagalog are of Spanish origin

       @acrata I watched a movie about General Goyo. I suppose they used more Spanish in 1890s.https://www.netflix.com/title/81031181
