Tsada101

While "nindot" is the more widely-used vernacular term for "beautiful, nice, or pleasing " in the Cebuano-speaking regions in the south, Kagay-anons and few other locales in Northern Mindanao use the term "Tsada" or "Patsada" in expressing appreciation to a thing, place or event. The term could trace its origin from Spanish "Fachada", which translates to Facade in English. Like any other Spanish loanword, Fachada might have been used erroneously by the locales, as it is in noun form, which was altered to adjective "Patsada" or "beautiful". In the present day, "Tsada" has become a generally accepted term by Kagay-anons. "Tsada" is also used in Dumaguete City in Negros Occidental, also with the same meaning.

Some History.
Mindanao Island was known to ancient Spanish conquerors as Gran Moluccas. Following Mindanao's colorful history, Cagayan de Oro is one of the few cities in the Philippines that remained highly Hispanized in terms of language, culture and traditions.
