Why was Chavacano invented in the first place?

Why was the Chavacano language invented when they tried to make the Spanish language simpler? The Spanish phrase "Ella se fue á la escuela" is much easier than the Chavacano "Ya andá ele na escuela." It seems they use verb/subject/object instead of subject/verb/object. Sometimes they use different verbs. Was the language invented to tailor to the needs of the people of Mindanao? Did people in Mindanao speak in verb/subject/object? Are people required to conjugate verbs? It doesn't seem like Chavacano is a language for common people in Mindanao. It seems like its the language of the learned and the scholars. Who would've thought of this stuff?
 
Chavacano was actually formed in Manila and Cavite,
I thought that it was invented in Zamboanga. Did the verb/subject/object come from Filipino languages? Ex. Cebuano v(Nag-kain) s. (sila) o.(og Jollibee). I wonder if Tagalog is like that. How is the rest of the language similar to Tagalog and how is it popularized in Mindanao?
 
Chavacano is a Creole language.
A Pidgin language is a language used by masters to talk to their subjects.
A Creole language is what happens when the kids raised in that context speak it as their native tongue.

If you look up Creolization or Creole languages, you'll find they have a lot of similarities irrespective of the parent languages of origin. Use of a lot of auxiliary verbs is one.

Don't assume that the changes from the colonial tongue have to do with the native language(s). Some do, many don't, but are rather a result of the creolization process.

There are some people who believe that the Creole forms are closer to a hypothetical innate human grammar - but that's a pretty contentious subject. (A subject that many people verbally object to...:) )
 
I'm not sure "invented" is the proper term. Natural languages aren't invented they evolve. I looked up Chavacano thinking it was a conlang that I had never heard of before.
