God forbid someone Tagalogcizes Spanish for you :). Let's see (as best I can manage) what it might look like if written the way Tagalog writes borrowed Spanish words: Eso si: nungka asetaremo ke potensiya estranhera token kabeyo de letra enye. Enye representa balore mas elebado de tradisyon espanika y primero kaeremo mueto ante ke asetar behasyone a simbolo ke a sio korason bibifikante de estoriya katisa espanyola unibersa. Personally, I think the reform is interesting, visually. I wouldnt change the orthography though (maybe to make things a bit more regular, but I like the language as it is).
