I also use tsaka ever since as well as meron. For me naman nawiweirduhan ako sa tunog na saka parang "magsasaka" and mayroon for me sounds like makalumang tagalog. I've never heard anyone use that unless it's written in a book or one of those historial films.
BTT: The use of the word "ala" instead of "wala". 1st time I encountered it was nung kasikatan pa ng mga forwarded quotes sa txt. So when I hear it these days para siyang txt speak.
Speaking of many years ago, I hated it when alot of people even on the news/media called music videos MTV.
Another one I can think of is the use of "benchingko" instead of bente singko. I have a tita like this, katawa lang hehe.

language is an evolving thing. my english teacher of olde, will check us in our use of the king's english. but in truth, merriam's dictionary recognizes language evolution and does introduce new words into its pages from time to time.
tulad ni ted of the radio station DZ--, mahilig sa "karampatan" even as the appropriate word is "karapatan". well, more and more of them are using the word now. in my day, my pilipino teacher would have castigated these guys thru the grading sheet.
nice thing with latin. it is a stagnant, nay... dead language.

how did he use the word? there really is a tagalog word na "karampatan" of which i think the closest english translation is "appropriate".

your translation to appropriate is correct.
i believe he uses karampatan as an adjective. and he uses karapatan as a noun.
i remember, there was no such karampatan word back in '75, because our pilipino teacher marked my answer wrong (according to him. and i was not about to challenge him, then). but language is a subject in evolution. if enough people use it even incorrectly, it eventually becomes correct.

I'm glad I never heard that DJ. Sa ganyan ako naiinis.

i just saw an ad promoting PH tourism, featuring Kawasan Falls in Cebu.

The guy backflipped off a bamboo raft....his head landed just inches away from it

The ad also featured the guy seemingly jumping off one of the cliffs/falls.

i've been told that the area is "taw-an" or enchanted. Even if you don't believe in that, a few people die annually there -- a combination of the ice cold waters and a strong undercurrent. Some who did that dive never came back up.

True, not because of being enchanted but because of the dangerous under tow. The water is so deep it is reported that nobody has touched bottom yet.

Speaking of enchantment, wag kayo matutulog sa villa escudero yun mga nipa hut along the lake. That lake is enchanted. Kung gwapo ka dika papatulugin at may nanganganta all night na ikaw lang makakarinig

yup, tons of stories like that actually. majority of the deaths belongs to the tourists/strangers who are not aware of the surroundings, or should we call them simply stupid?
the locals then warn tourists; "mag ingat kayo at taon taon may kinukuha diyan."
and so there goes another 'victim of the year',,, sino? anong nangyare? turista, tumalon,,, lasing.

There is also this mantayupan falls in Barili, Cebu which is rumored to have a giant squid feeding on humans. I have never been there as I got so scared when my father told me about that story.
