Jews expelled in Germany.. the Philippines took them as refugee. There is also one island where vietnamese were given a place to live in the philippines.. PH is a 3rd world economy with a 1st world Humanity
@@Matt-ki3bn your fukin wrong dude the american occupation was the only reason why we were the most developed country in asia but once they left economy started to go down really slowly and then marcos came and made hight but his second term ruined our country and fhen after that we were considered as a 3rd world country
There are still American POW's, whom you guys never returned that defended the White Russian railroads to the end. They died forgotten in forced Russian labor slave camps. Franklin Delano Roosevelt forgot about them when he needed you Russklies to fight against the Germans. 😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞
I just want to share that one of the white Russian refugees was my great grandfather whose name is Alexander ivanoff who settled in Zamboanga City together with his mother Parakovia ivanoff and some of his friends. He was one of the white Russian soldiers who fled Russia during that time. Am proud to be a Filipino and at the same time a Russian in blood.
I'm Russian and this part of history just amazed me, these people overcame so much and they wouldn't cope without help of Filipinos. I send all the best wishes to such a great country and people🇷🇺❤🇵🇭
Philippines maybe poor country.. dont have powerful military power.. but when trouble comes.. philippines will protect other country not by military power but the power of kindness and heart..
@@Thigsy not a chinese. my grandfather was from china. but i dont really consider myself chinese because i dont know much about their culture. when i was born my grandfather already died and my mom and her siblings know nothing about chinese culture.
Rai Dongsu ones Philippines are one of the most richest country in Asia until this politician come in and take all the money that belong to the Philippine..we are now starting all over again may God save our president duterte and our beloved country amen..
We may be portrayed by some as a country of cockroaches, slum areas, poor, governed by corrupt officials, traffic jams and other worst images but one thing for sure, I am proud to be a Filipino whose bravery, patriotism, resilience, hardwork, love of family and hospitality have been proven and tested many times in history even at present! We may have encountered many disasters and challenges in life but we can still afford to smile and laugh at them. We may be considered among the poorest but we cannot deny food and drinks to any visitor especially during celebrations. Our houses may not be as grand as the others but we can always welcome those who need shelter. We may be in pain but still we are capable of providing comfort. I am a Filipino and I am very much proud to be one!
In 2010 I moved from Calif USA to the Philippines. The people here are the sweetest, friendliest most hospitable people I've ever met. I just watched how under Manuel Quezon they saved something like 1200 jews from the Holocaust just before WW2. Now this about welcoming the White Russians. The Philippines is my home now and I found my sweet asawa here. Every day seems like the happiest day of my life. The Filipino people have every reason to be proud. God bless the Philippines.
President Quirino is probably the nicest President ever lived. Not only did he release Japanese soldiers back to Japan after the war but he also opened his country that is badly damaged by the war to people in need. When I read the story about how he forgave the Japanese and released them knowing that those same people was the same people who took his wife and children's life blew my mind away. It must've been the hardest decision he had ever made in his life. Specially with the anger of the Filipino people towards the Japanese army. I truly commend him from the bottom of my heart. I salute to you Mr. President.
sama mo si Manuel Quezon and Marcos. They accepted thousands of Jews and vietnamese refuges during holocaust and vietnam war. mga wala sa history textbooks natin. pati holocaust and war sa Balangiga wala din sa history. overrated yung EDSA revolution from elem-highschool at Hero si Ninoy.
This is probably one of the reasons why a lot of students in the Philippines find History boring. A piece of history like this should be taught in schools and is very interesting as well. It's so disappointing that a lot of Filipinos don't know about this.
i remembered the Open Door policy, but my teachers kind of glossed over it pretty quickly. it's too bad that they never elucidated us on the subject, as it's quite fascinating. some of these White Russians live near me in the US as well. you just never know people's history, you know?
Mga taga Samar Lang Ang nakakaAlam.kc dOn sa kanela talaga pala.hndi makalimutan nang mga matatanda un.ibig sabehen Ang mga pilipino..talaga ay matolongin.likas na matolongin..pagdating pag nangailangan nang tolong.🙏🙏🙋🙋🙋🙋🌷🤾🌹🌹🌹🌹
This part of Philippine history would never have been known, were it not for the efforts of Annaliza Gonzales, former mayor of Guiuan, Eastern Samar, her daughter Kinna Kwan (who did first-hand research and production of the video) and the President Elpidio Quirino Foundation. Kinna traveled to several countries to interview some of the original refugees and their descendants, as well as some Filipinos who made friends with the White Russians and told part of the story, in order to portray an accurate accounting of how President Quirino and the Philippine Government played a big role in saving the lives of over 6,000 White Russians who were escaping Communist tyranny, first during the Russian Revolution and later during the Communist takeover of mainland China. Lastly, I am proud to have been part of that history.
Wow..Thank you Mayor Annaliza Gonzales and to her daughter Kinna Kwan.. This is a very touching history on how Filipino help other Nations in times like this..As a Filipino we must very proud...
Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa you’re wrong. The Philippines was a well to do country up until the 60s. It is still a wealthy and rich country. Perhaps, you’re referring to people being cash-poor. :)
we may be cash poor, but it is ingrained in us that we are rich. that's why it's easy for an average Filipino to give even if they have less, to smile even if they themselves are sad. we are always taught that the world is not about ourselves, but about us as a community. i'm always glad (and proud) that we are practicing Catholics. not just Christians because we memorize the Bible, but true Christians because we practice what the "word of God" teaches.
This is so inspiring. I bet a lot of Filipinos didn't know this story nor such thing exist. Hearing their "Thank You's" at the end brought me to tears.😭
Exactly! The only one they taught us In our history is hatred against Marcos. Without media I will never know that Quezon did a good job for homeless people during world war 2.This kind of good deeds must teach to young ones now adays.
I myself, friends, and families don’t know these histories and I was shocked when I found about it like three months ago. When I told this to my Mom and other families they were shock too
7 years later, am grateful to watch this heart warming film. Makes me proud to be born in Philippines, a country with less fortune but with abundance in kindness and heartfelt humanity 🇵🇭
@bsroxasjr And during President Quezon's time there was a plan to welcome 10,000 German Jews to the Philippines but only 1,300 got through because WW2 broke out and Japan invaded the Philippines.
@@jehmarsedigo4968 yeah, I don't get why they keep teaching us such an utterly useless, insignificant and irrelevant thing... like as if the Philippines became better after that, it even went downhill from there... the huge EDSA 'Revolution' was one huge joke being treated like a historical achievement.
I'm Australian, living in Mindanao with my Filipina wife, and I have a great love for the Filipino people, and for the beauty of the Philippines. I knew that the Philippines accepted Jewish refugees from Germany when no other country would, but I had never heard about the White Russian refugees in the Philippines. My late wife in Australia was from a Latvian family. Her parents emigrated to Australia in 1949, around the same time as the resettlement of the White Russians. It is possible some of the people we knew in the Latvian community in Australia may have come to Australia in the way described here.
We Filipinos gave them an island for refuge, and with that & nothing else, they managed to create a city/camp with 14 districts, dam& organized workplace. Wow, that is something we should learn from them.
This was not taught in school when I was a student. This is a significant part of history. Amazing! Thank you LORD for using the Philippines as an instrument for your purpose.
The god of Israel is not the same gods we have, my ancestors called the almighty the same name Christ called his father-Abba. Israel call their god yahweh. We are not the same
PropagandaMinister, , wow ganon ba, tawag natin sa God is Dios dahil yan ang wika natin ay tagalog, in English is God at sa mga Israel ay Yeshua or Yahweh at sa arabic naman ay allah dahil yan ang mga linguahe or salita ng iba ibang bansa pero pra sa aking iisa lang ang God, Dios,Yahweh or Allah na may lalang ng langit at lupa at lahat ng nakapaloob sa Sangtinakpan,sya lang ang may ari at wala ng iba pa ! ! !🙏🏻🌈☘️
Tubabao Odyssey: Refuge In The Philippines. It should be made into a movie. A great history like this should be shared with all the Filipinos and to the world.
I would also say preferably written in books, files on computers or cellphones can get deleted or disappear when there's so many but while in historical book, it will be there to open to read
My beloved Philippines 🇵🇭 is home to the most loving and caring people on earth. When the world turned its back on Israel, we opened our doors to them. When the world turned its back on South Korea, we stayed and fought their enemies, one against forty. When the Vietnamese reached our shores, we welcomed them with hugs and meals. Am really proud being a Filipino 💝
up to this day Filipinos continue to save lives everyday all over the world! just look in any hospital all over the world you will see so many Filipino Nurses saving lives!
.2019 na at ngayun kolang din ito napanood. SARAP MAGING ISANG PILIPINO KAPAG GANITO NAPAPANOOD MO. NA MAGAGANDANG ISTORYA NS DAPAT ITURO SA SKUWELAHAN.
"When you're young, you don't think of the rest of your life. You just live... Everything's beautiful, sunshine, moonlight. But as you grow older, and you begin to reminisce about your life. And that deed, that the Philippine government did, it changed everybody's life. Forever greatful.... Forever greatful.... " Very inspiring and touching!
i felt my heart stop beating when the lady said she is gorever greatful..i cant help it but cry..it only shows that the philippinea is the land of hospitable people.
We, Filipinos are helpful, supportive, caring, accommodating, welcoming, generous, friendly, resilient people. Likas sa ating pagkatao yan. ❤ God bless us all.
One thing I noticed between Filipinos and other nationalities is that, multiple calamities or war can never break a filipino and that's what we want others to acquire. As long as you're alive, there's still a chance to have a good life. To Russians, we love you.. humanity is part of our DNA and so is yours. Our country is all open for you, visit us again and enjoy our beautiful land. This is your home until forever. God bless you and to my fellow filipino people around the globe! Mabuhay kababayan!
Lahat naman ng Tao galing lng sa isang races noon pa man bago pa ang mundo sinabi sa bible yan dahil iisang race lng tao non atsaka mapagmalaki mga tao don gustong taasan ang Diyos gumawa sila ng tower of babel panoorin niyo yan pinaghiwalay ng Diyos ang kanilang lengguahe para hindi sila magkaroon ng kasunduan .
Some races hate it when Filipino always says "I'm proud to be a Filipino" but no matter how much you get annoyed with it or whatever you say. I will never get tired to say I'm proud to be a Filipino...
because it is hypocritical. When they see manny winning or other celeb/athlete do things they say "proud to be pinoy", but when our government does something goos they ignore it and look for something bad happening.
@@chuchu3238 how dumb are you? did you even understand what i said? bobols pinoy din ako tanga. ikaw yata addict dito, di na nga marunong bumasa addict pa talaga tanga! bobols. wala naman akong sinabi na dapat di maging proud e.
Because it's what insecure people do. And the louder you scream about how proud you are, the more insecure you look. True pride is quiet and dignified, never boastful.
What refugee has luxury? It’s survival, having a place to settle. When then Filipino Pres Quirino took them with open arms and later visited the camp and ordered putting down the fence, in their own words, it was a symbol of acceptance and hospitality, not to be treated as refugees but as part of the community. Humanity at it’s best. Anyone would take that over being imprisoned, worse killed by the communists.
😭 thank you Phillipines . Not powerfull like other country but you are more powerfull in history of kindness LOVE and acceptance . Maybe poor in economy but rich in History and Love . God bless filipinos one of a kind in planet .
Grabe kakatindig balahibo mayron palang ganun dati kakatuwa talaga,Jews,Russian,Vietnam natulungan nang napakaliit na lugar philippines,proud for being a filipino here..
I bet you can be more prouder when you can witness first hand the way she mould your children...everyone there value family second to God...if you had filipina gf,you know what i'm say'n..
As someone who grew up in the Philippines, and considers it a second home, I am moved by this story, and so very grateful to those who put this beautiful documentary together. So many people don't know how kind, generous, and welcoming the Filipino people are, and have never experienced the magnificence of their country. To all of the Philippines, may you continue to be a place of love, hope, welcome, and refuge to all who come to your shores. Mabuhay!
My family went through Tubabao with 8 members, and left with 9, my older sister was born on the island. Myself and two other sibling born in us. We have many photos of the family time spent there. Most of Tubabao Russians are dying off, all my family that were there are gone!
I have never heard of this story before until Yolanda hit Eastern Visayas. Russians went back to Tubabao Island to help the people recover. My brother in law is from this island. I first set foot on their shores as part of the rehabiliation team for an NGO.
I never knew that....it was not in the news that the russians went to leyte to help. Can you enlighten us? So when they heard it..they immediately went directly to leyte?
@@cristinaagustin4594 nakay mar roxas na po ang relief goods nila..hehe..tinago at ibinaon nila dinky soliman after ng makuha ung mga mapapakinabangan.ibinaon na lng kc natatamad na daw mag distribute.
After watching the Jews refugees to the Philippines by Manuel L. Quezon, UA-cam recommended this video. Another refugees story. I was so touched and at the same time proud that our presidents had such a huge heart. Elpidio Quirino and Manuel L Quezon are truly remarkable for show the hospitality of the Filipinos. ❤💙
President Quezon and Quirino made a huge impact to the humanity! I had goosebumps all over my body and can't stop my tears from falling. History will always be history, it's all in the past, but it made us who we are now. Salute!
That Philippines and the Philppine people makes unique and they call us, as a Philippines and the people are special. Why I say this? Because I heard it long time ago from other people. At that I didn't understand what they meant, but now I do.
@@Psycho-th8vbyes it's legit...the way how president Quezon really want to accept more than just 1200 Jews but those anti-Semitic Americans didn't allow him to do so..
Philippines is like a loving embrace of God. May the God continue to bless the Philippines. My brothers continue to pray for this country its leaders and people.
Malapit na tayong lumaya sa kasinungalingan ngayong nabubunyag na ang nakaraan ay puno ng bahid ng kasinungalingan.. the history tell it self that we are rich..
"When you're young, you don't think of the rest of your life. You just live. Everything is beautiful... sunshine, moonlight, but as you grow older, and you begin to reminisce about your life, and that deed that the Philippine government did, it changed everybody's life. That's my feeling towards the Philippines... forever grateful... forever grateful... Thank you."
The Jews, Russian, Chinese, Vietnamese the list goes on.. was glad to be born in a POOR, CORRUPT Country but with a BIG HEART who help everyone who needs our help while most of the RICH ARROGANT Countries NEXT DOOR look us down.. Judgment Day comes and God will remember what this Poor Country did in every possible way to help every Nations that needs our Help in the PAST.
zhan_rand this past administration are corrupt but now we are proud in our president rodrigo roa duterte Phil we rise again god bless us and you brother
@@raphylasala2409 publicize the document of your accusation for people to believe you and your puon otherwise the dirty mouth of fabricator like yours will rot more than a septic thank! The present admin is as lousy as you period!
*Man, I just found out about Philippines being the ONLY COUNTRY to accept the migrating Jews and also Filipino soldiers helping Korea and now this, I had no idea*
One of the best documentaries that I have ever seen. The compassion of the Philippines people is insurmountable. This act of kindness by the Philippines president and people changed the world for these beautiful ,intelligent and industrious people. The White Russians were vulnerable and scared and he gave them a home. I love the Philippines people, they are so special, I love them even more now.
Now am trying to connect the dots. When typhooon yolanda hit The Philippines, Russian came to the rescue earlier.Just a thought and yes, we are forever grateful for the love and support when we needed them the most. Both times were similar that they were driven by love for humanity. Thank you for sharing this awesome story i had never known even though i am passionate about Philippine History. I may not know but this piece of hope and resilience deserves a spot in our Philippine History.
My tears fall at the end 😢😢😢 .. They were thanking the Philippines for giving them shelter to live and protection for there lives .. What a tremendous job for our Pres. Quirino i hope someone will acknowledged his heroism ... I hope that they should put this story to our history textbook so the younger generation will knows about this .. Me either i didnt know that this story was happen to my country .. After i watched this .. Thanks for eye opening story .. 😊👍❤
Wow, thank you. As a Filipino American, this gave me a chill. I am not saying this because I am Filipino but I always tell my husband who is British that the Philippines might be poor in material things but definitely, we are not poor in spirit! We are not only hospitable, friendly but most of all compassionate!
Given na yung binigyan sila ng lugar ng Philippines, pero pinaka nakakabilib eh sila na yung nag build ng own community nila. Nagamit talaga nila yung skills nila at professions. Nakaka amaze yung diskarte nila, sobrang skilled nila.
I'm Filipino who lives in Sydney and I have heaps of white Russian friends... They love Filipinos once they know you...theyve invited me sometimes at their dinner or a party.... Such a great bond...
I couldn't help but to cry when the lady said "she's forever greatful" you could almost feel her overwhelming sencerety when she said those words as she repeated it twice. i totally felt all the emotions she was trying show as if i lived the life she had. it was very heartwarming.
FOREVER GRATEFUL, FOREVER GRATEFUL THANK YOU! When the Russian Lady said that to the PHILIPPINES it really made me Cry... IM SO PROUD TO BE A FILIPINO... MABUHAY PHILIPPINES❤❤❤❤❤MABUHAY PRESIDENT ELPIDIO QUIRINO!
The Philippines is a land of promise. It saves people like the Jews during the time of Hitler and the White Russians during the time of Mao Tse-Tung in China. Indeed the Pearl of the Orient to act as savior to those in need.
We never heard this story when we were in grade school. All they taught us was the bullshit rivalry of Marcos and Aquino. They really need to put this in history text books for Ph elementary schools.
Exactly! Masyadong ni romanticize ang EDSA at ang mga Aquinos. Though, we could say they were part of the History pero I don't see any significance on what they did that had impact up to these day. Unlike the other Presidents, such as Pres. Quirino and Pres. Quezon they made great contribution to humanity. Smh-
@@maymayavenido9812 WHAT AN INSIGHTFUL STMT. YES, FOR THE LIFE OF ME, WHAT THE HELL DID THE AQUINOS CONTRIBUTE?? BEC. PINATAY SI NINOY?? THEN THE STUPID FIL. VOTED FOR HER SON?? ANO ANG CONTRIBUTION NILA??? YEARS AGO, THIS IS WHAT I SAID...."YOU CAN EDSA OVER AND OVER, NOTHING IS GOING TO CHANGE. YOU KEEP VOTING FOR INUTILS!!!!
30:14 "Thank you." Did anybody else's eyes started leaking strange water when she said that? That was possibly the most sincere 'thank you' I've ever heard.
I cried. God loves all of us. Love conquers every hate, racism, religion differences and obstacles. I’m proud of you President Quirino. I’m proud to be a Filipino. ❤️❤️❤️
Kaya dapat baguhin na ang laman ng filipino history yung may matutunan tayo sa nakaraan. Hindi yung mababasa lang natin puro sa Edsa dahil dyan sa mga dilawang
i agree to that, these kinds of events should be written to books and must be taught to every Filipino child.... this is an important piece of history not only for those refugees but for us Filipinos, a lot more important than that stupid EDSA People Power Revolution power grab...
And we Filipinos ourselves never knew this SECRET for decades! I was shocked it happened right on our very own land.Why the government didn't let us know? Why the heck never mentioned it? IT'S A SIGNIFICANT HISTORY THAT SHOULD BE TAUGHT TO OUR SCHOOL AND TO THE WORLD.
The Jewish refugees were always in the news but very few about the White Russians. Luckily, there are still those in the camp that still alive to share the story ❤
well, i think these are not intentionally hidden. I came across some of these information two decades ago because I enjoy visiting libraries. I believe that these accomplishments cannot be adequately captured in textbooks alongside our broader history. It's our responsibility to engage in research and exploration.
This gave me more insights on the leadership President Quirino had. I never knew of this kind of history our country, the Philippines, had with Russia. Awe-inspiring!
*Oh my God! I am crying right now after watching this short film/documentary. Because it happened in my province of Eastern Samar. I am from San Policarpo, Eastern Samar, Philippines. I was born in Metro Manila. But our parents sent us to our grandparents in Samar when I was 4 years old. I grew up in that beautiful province and studied in elementary and high school from 1986 to 1994. From my town of San Policarpo to Guian, is actually 4 hours drive. Yes, our province is one of the most prone to typhoons every year in the Philippines because our province is literally is facing the South Pacific Ocean. But damn! we have beautiful beaches, rock pools, pristine jungles where you can also find the majestic Philippine Eagle, our national bird and one of the top ten largest eagles and largest birds of prey in the world.* *It's more than 20 years already since I left my hometown of Eastern Samar after moving to the capital city, then went to the middle east for ten years, and finally a dream come true of migrating here in Canada. I got emotional really watching this documentary and I am longing for my beautiful island of Samar, Philippines. I am not aware and never knew that part of our history in my province, about the Russian refugees that lived and survived in my neighboring island of Tubabao. And also about the Vietnamese and Jewish refugees that the Philippines welcomed and accepted. Why these are not on our textbooks in schools and our history teachers never told us all of these? All these very important historical events, and humanitarian aid that my country served to our brothers and sisters from different corners of the world, recently I knew and discovered here on UA-cam. I am so grateful for this platform and to all the people who contributed many relevant pieces of information.*
E B but if you have good life in capital Manila then you you want to migrate to Canada? just curious if you have good life in Manila or in Philippines. Doesn't it still better if you can living with people who have same thing, same race as you?
I was born in Bicol and migrated in Canada I never ever knew this history. I only remember about marcos and aquino rivalry. And Im sick of it hearing aquinos history.
April 2020 Locked down, pandemonic covid-19. Nostalgia, watching documentaries about my country Philippines - never heard and read about these things. Jewish refugees, Filipino soldiers helping in Korean war, Filipino soldiers helping during Vietnam wars, welcoming boatmen from Vietnam, refugees from Russia etc. Please re-write Phippine History. 😭😭...so far I can only remember Marcos vs Aquino 😕
Wow.. I only knew about the Jews who were refugees in the Philippines..never knew about thousands of Russians in the Philippines as refugees..indeed we have a great country..lovely and kind people! Thank you Pres. Quirino! Never knew this in school..these are the things that should be taught in school as part of our history as a country.. Something we can be proud of as a Filipino!
Simply because maraming history noon ang nabago dahil Kay Marcos. Marcos tried to create a pro-dictatorship state and a pure Filipino culture ek-ek. Marami sa mga history natin ang nawala at napilitan ng Marcos regiment History.
Long long time ago,there is an island called philippine who very supportive in other countries needing help....but now sad to say philippines seeing by other countries as a slave country how sad,,,,
It tears me again,how pilipino treat humanity of thier kindness and open heart that why Israel is forever greatful to the pilipinos , there's a monument erected in Israel thanking pilipinos of thier great love to humanity. Pilipinos nurses and caregiver are working in Israel. Pilipinos are kindhearted and hard workers, I myself is half American /pilipino I am proud to be pilipino, mabuhay ang mga pilipinos all over the world.
Thank's din sa iyo at may nalaman ako sa iyo na " may itinayonģ monumento para sa filipino sa Israel kaya pala wala ng visa ang pagpunta ng filipino sa Israel bilang pagkilala sa Pilipinas at sa mamamayang filipino !
These beautiful people who came into our country for safety taught us a lot of things too. They also deserve a thank you from us #LoveFromThePhilippines
Thank you for sharing this amazing information as a Filipino...never included in our history books...but it's never too late...the Bayanihan Spirit of a Filipino...Pinoy with a heart. Thank you Lord for preserving our country Philippines... God bless the 🇵🇭
"the one that almost have nothing but still offers something" and yes life must really go on but to these refugees, Philippines is forever carved in their hearts..

Years ago, I have a female friend-classmate in La Salle Dasma. She does have a unique features (except her height) and last name, it sounded as Niazef... though I can't remember anymore how it is spelled out or if I did got it right. When I asked about her distinct last name she said it was from her grandfather who is russian(obviously/ likely) and planted roots here in the Philippines decades ago because he fell in love with the country. Though she wasn't able to elaborate the story or simply I can't recall the details of her narrative anymore.... I guess her grandfather is part of those who fled from Russia, as this documentary says..... because it is unlikely that russians knew about the tiny Philippines then or an option to migrate during those times without any compelling reason/s.
Soo touching, Such Humane Attitudes of the people of Philippines especially the Prime minister. And extremely talented and resilient race, the Jews: God YHVH'S People. NB : Shalom and Godspeed, Agape Philippines. GOD BLESS AND KEEP YOU, AND PROSPER AND HEAL THE COUNTRY ESPECIALLY NOW FOR THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC.
So proud and glad to have seen this video. I am a Filipino and baptized by a Russian Orthodox Church and met one of the Russian woman who goes to same Russian Orthodox church as me who was in this camp. Thank you for this. Truly proud! St. John is so dear to my family and it is all in God's destiny.
Despite great devastation of nearly all of its cities and a million civilian casualties after World War 2, the Philippines offered hope and a place for those who needed refuge in whatever race or religion.
@@suutari13 are you saying just a few thousand Japanese conquered Manila? LoL... Then why was MacArthur and the USA even needed to free the PH from the Japanese Army? You need to study up on history.
I was not expecting that when suddenly a person spoke "waray", and then I understood what he was saying hahaha. Wow! 🇵🇭 My relatives in guiuan, borongan, eastern samar! 😊

We may have encountered many disasters and challenges in life but we can still afford to smile and laugh at them. We may be considered among the poorest but we cannot deny food and drinks to any visitor especially during celebrations. Our houses may not be as grand as the others but we can always welcome those who need shelter. We may be in pain but still we are capable of providing comfort.

I just watched how under Manuel Quezon they saved something like 1200 jews from the Holocaust just before WW2. Now this about welcoming the White Russians. The Philippines is my home now and I found my sweet asawa here. Every day seems like the happiest day of my life. The Filipino people have every reason to be proud. God bless the Philippines.
God bless you. Mabuhay ka.
Thank you bro, welcome home. We've got your back.
That was nice.
President Quirino is probably the nicest President ever lived. Not only did he release Japanese soldiers back to Japan after the war but he also opened his country that is badly damaged by the war to people in need. When I read the story about how he forgave the Japanese and released them knowing that those same people was the same people who took his wife and children's life blew my mind away. It must've been the hardest decision he had ever made in his life. Specially with the anger of the Filipino people towards the Japanese army. I truly commend him from the bottom of my heart. I salute to you Mr. President.

This is probably one of the reasons why a lot of students in the Philippines find History boring. A piece of history like this should be taught in schools and is very interesting as well. It's so disappointing that a lot of Filipinos don't know about this.
YEP
Not for me I love history
Me too but all of it just went in the rug because after all we have promblem from politics
i remembered the Open Door policy, but my teachers kind of glossed over it pretty quickly. it's too bad that they never elucidated us on the subject, as it's quite fascinating.
some of these White Russians live near me in the US as well. you just never know people's history, you know?

This part of Philippine history would never have been known, were it not for the efforts of Annaliza Gonzales, former mayor of Guiuan, Eastern Samar, her daughter Kinna Kwan (who did first-hand research and production of the video) and the President Elpidio Quirino Foundation. Kinna traveled to several countries to interview some of the original refugees and their descendants, as well as some Filipinos who made friends with the White Russians and told part of the story, in order to portray an accurate accounting of how President Quirino and the Philippine Government played a big role in saving the lives of over 6,000 White Russians who were escaping Communist tyranny, first during the Russian Revolution and later during the Communist takeover of mainland China. Lastly, I am proud to have been part of that history.
Wow..Thank you Mayor Annaliza Gonzales and to her daughter Kinna Kwan.. This is a very touching history on how Filipino help other Nations in times like this..As a Filipino we must very proud...
wow!!
Wow...amazing...mabuhay 📿

It's really extraordinary that the people who have the least are those that are more willing to help people that are in need.
Yeahhhh and mostly all pilipino had that kind of heart
It's empathy. No one knows suffering better than those who felt it too.
Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa you’re wrong. The Philippines was a well to do country up until the 60s. It is still a wealthy and rich country. Perhaps, you’re referring to people being cash-poor. :)
@@hillroberts1311 compare to other countries we are poor. He meant that ... But we still accepted them without second thoughts.☺️☺️
we may be cash poor, but it is ingrained in us that we are rich. that's why it's easy for an average Filipino to give even if they have less, to smile even if they themselves are sad. we are always taught that the world is not about ourselves, but about us as a community.
i'm always glad (and proud) that we are practicing Catholics. not just Christians because we memorize the Bible, but true Christians because we practice what the "word of God" teaches.
When I was a kid I always wonder, why my grandmother has a lot of pictures with Russian, now it make sense ..

This is so inspiring. I bet a lot of Filipinos didn't know this story nor such thing exist. Hearing their "Thank You's" at the end brought me to tears.😭
Neither did I...I'm a filipino but I was shocked about this side of the story..
Joi-Joi XD they don't even know what they real own history because of lack of knowledge
Exactly! The only one they taught us In our history is hatred against Marcos. Without media I will never know that Quezon did a good job for homeless people during world war 2.This kind of good deeds must teach to young ones now adays.
I myself, friends, and families don’t know these histories and I was shocked when I found about it like three months ago. When I told this to my Mom and other families they were shock too

@bsroxasjr
And during President Quezon's time there was a plan to welcome 10,000 German Jews to the Philippines but only 1,300 got through because WW2 broke out and Japan invaded the Philippines.
Why is this not taught in our schools? I feel like we Filipinos still don't know a LOT of things from our history.

@@jehmarsedigo4968 yeah, I don't get why they keep teaching us such an utterly useless, insignificant and irrelevant thing... like as if the Philippines became better after that, it even went downhill from there... the huge EDSA 'Revolution' was one huge joke being treated like a historical achievement.
I'm Australian, living in Mindanao with my Filipina wife, and I have a great love for the Filipino people, and for the beauty of the Philippines. I knew that the Philippines accepted Jewish refugees from Germany when no other country would, but I had never heard about the White Russian refugees in the Philippines. My late wife in Australia was from a Latvian family. Her parents emigrated to Australia in 1949, around the same time as the resettlement of the White Russians. It is possible some of the people we knew in the Latvian community in Australia may have come to Australia in the way described here.
Awesome brother
@@DjMibulos God bless the Philippines for their generosity.
I watch another video, they lived in samar for 4 yrs before other countries open for white Russian such as USA, Canada, Germany and Australia.

We Filipinos gave them an island for refuge, and with that & nothing else, they managed to create a city/camp with 14 districts, dam& organized workplace. Wow, that is something we should learn from them.
All people with creature comforts can learn from that,when people focus they can accomplish allot.
Meh. We just accomodated them until America gave the go signal to live in there for good.

What refugee has luxury? It’s survival, having a place to settle. When then Filipino Pres Quirino took them with open arms and later visited the camp and ordered putting down the fence, in their own words, it was a symbol of acceptance and hospitality, not to be treated as refugees but as part of the community. Humanity at it’s best. Anyone would take that over being imprisoned, worse killed by the communists.
The Philippines is generous because of its Christian values... Love of God and neighbor. Long live the Philippines.

Kaya dapat baguhin na ang laman ng filipino history yung may matutunan tayo sa nakaraan. Hindi yung mababasa lang natin puro sa Edsa dahil dyan sa mga dilawang
i agree to that, these kinds of events should be written to books and must be taught to every Filipino child....
this is an important piece of history not only for those refugees but for us Filipinos, a lot more important than that stupid EDSA People Power Revolution power grab...
And we Filipinos ourselves never knew this SECRET for decades! I was shocked it happened right on our very own land.Why the government didn't let us know? Why the heck never mentioned it? IT'S A SIGNIFICANT HISTORY THAT SHOULD BE TAUGHT TO OUR SCHOOL AND TO THE WORLD.
The Jewish refugees were always in the news but very few about the White Russians.
Luckily, there are still those in the camp that still alive to share the story ❤
Di pa kasi uso ang computer at iPhone nun 😂😂😂
well, i think these are not intentionally hidden. I came across some of these information two decades ago because I enjoy visiting libraries. I believe that these accomplishments cannot be adequately captured in textbooks alongside our broader history. It's our responsibility to engage in research and exploration.
Yes indeed. Take note the Department of Education and CHED
This gave me more insights on the leadership President Quirino had. I never knew of this kind of history our country, the Philippines, had with Russia. Awe-inspiring!
According to history Pres Quireno the President who send his son in the battle field of korea
A million thanks to the researcher for bringing this magnificent story from the past..thank you youtube as well.
*Oh my God! I am crying right now after watching this short film/documentary. Because it happened in my province of Eastern Samar. I am from San Policarpo, Eastern Samar, Philippines. I was born in Metro Manila. But our parents sent us to our grandparents in Samar when I was 4 years old. I grew up in that beautiful province and studied in elementary and high school from 1986 to 1994. From my town of San Policarpo to Guian, is actually 4 hours drive. Yes, our province is one of the most prone to typhoons every year in the Philippines because our province is literally is facing the South Pacific Ocean. But damn! we have beautiful beaches, rock pools, pristine jungles where you can also find the majestic Philippine Eagle, our national bird and one of the top ten largest eagles and largest birds of prey in the world.*
*It's more than 20 years already since I left my hometown of Eastern Samar after moving to the capital city, then went to the middle east for ten years, and finally a dream come true of migrating here in Canada. I got emotional really watching this documentary and I am longing for my beautiful island of Samar, Philippines. I am not aware and never knew that part of our history in my province, about the Russian refugees that lived and survived in my neighboring island of Tubabao. And also about the Vietnamese and Jewish refugees that the Philippines welcomed and accepted. Why these are not on our textbooks in schools and our history teachers never told us all of these? All these very important historical events, and humanitarian aid that my country served to our brothers and sisters from different corners of the world, recently I knew and discovered here on UA-cam. I am so grateful for this platform and to all the people who contributed many relevant pieces of information.*
E B
but if you have good life in capital Manila then you you want to migrate to Canada? just curious
if you have good life in Manila or in Philippines. Doesn't it still better if you can living with people who have same thing, same race as you?
Hey man, we're of the same age! I was born in Manila and grew up in Malabon.😊✌️
Taga San policarpo din ako at ngayon ko Lang nalaman na may ganito pala nangyari noon sa katabing Isla Ng tubabao.
I was born in Bicol and migrated in Canada I never ever knew this history. I only remember about marcos and aquino rivalry. And Im sick of it hearing aquinos history.
@@tranlily3001 Geezzz! I feel dizzy reading your comments! What exactly do you mean my friend? 😀
Pres.elpidio quirino thank you sa kabutihan ng iyong puso...and sa history na ito....sarap maging pinoy❤❤❤
April 2020
Locked down, pandemonic covid-19.
Nostalgia, watching documentaries about my country Philippines - never heard and read about these things. Jewish refugees, Filipino soldiers helping in Korean war, Filipino soldiers helping during Vietnam wars, welcoming boatmen from Vietnam, refugees from Russia etc.
Please re-write Phippine History. 😭😭...so far I can only remember Marcos vs Aquino 😕
Wahahahahaha mas maganda pa manood ng mga sinabi mo kesa mag fb ang toxic next mona about Kay ex president marcos
BRAVO TO YOU, ANN ANN. THE WORLD KNOWS IMELDA'S SHOES!!!!
Same hahaha
he helps Vietnamese then killing his own kind.
@@stoicf5782 stupidity!! 😂😂
Wow.. I only knew about the Jews who were refugees in the Philippines..never knew about thousands of Russians in the Philippines as refugees..indeed we have a great country..lovely and kind people! Thank you Pres. Quirino! Never knew this in school..these are the things that should be taught in school as part of our history as a country.. Something we can be proud of as a Filipino!
First i learned that also vietnam came here as a refugee also by the time of internet era I also learned about Jews who were persecuted by Nazi's
@@leonkennedy1205 yes.. And i just knew about this white russian.. Interesting and.. Something to be proud of..
Simply because maraming history noon ang nabago dahil Kay Marcos. Marcos tried to create a pro-dictatorship state and a pure Filipino culture ek-ek. Marami sa mga history natin ang nawala at napilitan ng Marcos regiment History.
I couldn't agree more. This should be taught in schools....
Have you watched the Vietnamese too in palawan?
This is why Philippines should be noticed since that country is so underated
Long long time ago,there is an island called philippine who very supportive in other countries needing help....but now sad to say philippines seeing by other countries as a slave country how sad,,,,
*archipelago*
True..because of iur late late president is a crocodile
@@neneng1821 dilawan
Kaya nga yan ang sabi ko tayo kinikilala na country natin deploying HOUSE MAID ✌️💔🥲
Sad 😞 karamihan umuwi Bangkay na 🥲💔
It tears me again,how pilipino treat humanity of thier kindness and open heart that why Israel is forever greatful to the pilipinos , there's a monument erected in Israel thanking pilipinos of thier great love to humanity. Pilipinos nurses and caregiver are working in Israel. Pilipinos are kindhearted and hard workers, I myself is half American /pilipino I am proud to be pilipino, mabuhay ang mga pilipinos all over the world.
Thank's din sa iyo at may nalaman ako sa iyo na " may itinayonģ monumento para sa filipino sa Israel kaya pala wala ng visa ang pagpunta ng filipino sa Israel bilang pagkilala sa Pilipinas at sa mamamayang filipino !
Such a beautiful history but never taught in school here in philippines they only taught us how to hate marcos in school. Spread love and respect ❤
i hate aquino
Blame the DEPEd - and the law makers...
Agree!
I agree..
Thats how they brain wash filipinos about history . Marcos is a great pres. Of phil. When corazon A. came the phil. Becoming currupt and weak .
These beautiful people who came into our country for safety taught us a lot of things too. They also deserve a thank you from us #LoveFromThePhilippines
So true!
Thank you for sharing this amazing information as a Filipino...never included in our history books...but it's never too late...the Bayanihan Spirit of a Filipino...Pinoy with a heart.
Thank you Lord for preserving our country Philippines...
God bless the 🇵🇭
Oh that’s why i only came to know of this now!
"the one that almost have nothing but still offers something" and yes life must really go on but to these refugees, Philippines is forever carved in their hearts..
Pakikita ko ito kay Mike, ito yon binabanggit lagi nya sa akin nong Pamilya ay refugees sa Samar tutoo pala May pinakita syang picture Bata pa Mother nya, Mike is an American descendant of this Refugees White Russian, magkalapit Shop namin noon sa Hollywood, Los Angeles CA.
Mario Padillo any update, Kuya? Nakakaiyak.
Inspiring story
see childrens of refugees are forever grateful wooww
I'm in tears right now.. Filipinos really do have the biggest heart and also the happiest among the world despite our poverty
Didn't expect this incredible story! Cried so much. Despite the conditions of my country, I can never be prouder of my Filipino heritage!
To the Russians who stayed in the Philippines as refugees in 1947-1953 God bless all, you are always welcome to the land of Ophir the Philippines.
Years ago, I have a female friend-classmate in La Salle Dasma. She does have a unique features (except her height) and last name, it sounded as Niazef... though I can't remember anymore how it is spelled out or if I did got it right. When I asked about her distinct last name she said it was from her grandfather who is russian(obviously/ likely) and planted roots here in the Philippines decades ago because he fell in love with the country. Though she wasn't able to elaborate the story or simply I can't recall the details of her narrative anymore.... I guess her grandfather is part of those who fled from Russia, as this documentary says..... because it is unlikely that russians knew about the tiny Philippines then or an option to migrate during those times without any compelling reason/s.
Hi J Lo. I am an alumnus of DLSU-D. When did you meet the Russian descendant girl? Early 2000s perhaps?
Soo touching, Such Humane Attitudes of the people of Philippines especially the Prime minister. And extremely talented and resilient race, the Jews: God YHVH'S People.
NB : Shalom and Godspeed, Agape Philippines. GOD BLESS AND KEEP YOU, AND PROSPER AND HEAL THE COUNTRY ESPECIALLY NOW FOR THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC.
Kniazeff? That might be the name you are thinking of, if so, maybe descended from nobility.
It was a very heart-warming story, direct from the people who experienced it. I was crying literally! I hope this act of humanity lives on forever. 💕
So proud and glad to have seen this video. I am a Filipino and baptized by a Russian Orthodox Church and met one of the Russian woman who goes to same Russian Orthodox church as me who was in this camp. Thank you for this. Truly proud! St. John is so dear to my family and it is all in God's destiny.
*I don't know why but watching this video brought me tears in my eye's*
*Proud Pilipino/Filipino*
Hi, we have to share this history of White Russians and our country. Thanks and peace.
Me too😢😢😢
The Filipino is a blessing to the world...
Jay TV d
Thanks
Despite great devastation of nearly all of its cities and a million civilian casualties after World War 2, the Philippines offered hope and a place for those who needed refuge in whatever race or religion.
well the americans bombed the shit out of Manila and killed 150 000 Filipinos civilians . Oh yeah there where a couple of thousand Japanese there.
@@suutari13
Oy, anung clasing inpormation na Ito? Saan yung source brad?
@@suutari13 your stupid and moron so what are you?
@@CEBph5997 Matti Suutarinen is right, it was the Americans who bombed Manila to the ground .
@@suutari13 are you saying just a few thousand Japanese conquered Manila? LoL... Then why was MacArthur and the USA even needed to free the PH from the Japanese Army? You need to study up on history.
I was not expecting that when suddenly a person spoke "waray", and then I understood what he was saying hahaha. Wow! 🇵🇭 My relatives in guiuan, borongan, eastern samar! 😊
Are you russian?
