Lol I was born and raised in Manila with a very Spanish surname and always assumed I was 'just' Filipino and was told I 'might' have a Spanish ancestor. I took a 23andme DNA test and got 53% Filipino, 45% Chinese and 1% Japanese with 1% Arab. There were no traces of Spanish / Iberian LOL. Nobody in my immediate family has any Chinese surname either. What a weird country lol.
Filipinos who has European ancestry tend to be from influential rich families. They are basically the minority powerful group even today. If a Filipino has Spanish ancestry and they have no rich relatives chances are they are actually Hispanic descent (has Mexican ancestry). The chance a common Filipino even having a Spanish ancestry is quite slim today much less if you do not trace your roots to Luzon. Most Mestizos in Manila were killed during the bombing of Manila in WWll..Also a Filipino has a very Spanish last name does not guarantee or prove they have Spanish blood. When Spain colonized the country they made every native pick out a list of Spanish last names to choose from. Some chose a very Spanish last name because the village head picked that or everyone in the village picked that. It doesn’t mean they’re related at all just that they lived in the same area

One interesting uniqueness of the Philippines is that it has the most number of people outside mainland China with ancestral roots to ancient chinese. Outnumbering Taiwan and Singapore. (Though more diluted since Philippines is 110M people).
Wait vietnam actually eats balut too. Infact they got it from them. They are the first ones to trade with pre-colonial philippines they traded with the kingdom of tondoh and sultanate of cebu. Philippines gave then fermented shrimp paste. But because of the long distance between the two the fermented shrimp dries up hence why vietnamese fermented shrimp paste is dried and blocky. The philippines is basically a sponge. They love absorbing different cultures in even mirrors their national language.

i noticed there have similarities between Philippines cultures with Borneo, from language, food to traditional clothes.. as Borneo Settlement in Sarawak, Malaysia, i found our native language (which is Sarawak Malay Language) is a bit similar with Tagalog rather the Standard Malay Language (Peninsular Malay).. for example Cat, in Standard Malay is KUCING, but in Sarawakian Malay is PUSAK.. similar to Tagolog 'Pusa'.. Dog in Standard Malay is ANJING, in Sarawakian Malay is ASUK, similar to Tagalog 'Aso'.. Chiken in Standard Malay is AYAM, in Sarawakian Malay is MANOK, similar to Tagalog 'Manok'.. and there have a lot.. and i saw Igorot people in Philippines is kinda similar to Dayak that live in Kalimantan (Indonesia) & Sarawak.. their traditional dance and musical instruments also similar to Sabah Tribe dance.. even the food like Suman & Bingka also similar to us.. and Philippines Ihaw Ihaw is similar to our 'Sate Panggang'.. my favourite is Kulit Manok (Chicken Skin), Chicken Liver & Buntut (Chicken Buttock).. dip with spicy sauce that made from vinegar, chilli and onion.. mouthwatering 😭.. but i come to Philippines there have more Varian of Ihaw Ihaw including Chicken Feet and even Chicken head too..
Lowland Austronesians in the Philippines sailed from Borneo many centuries before the spaniards arrived. that is why there are many baranggays because they rode on ships called "Balangay". Also, in Tagalog, a "kuting" is a kitten. Also, borneo also has Bisaya people with same name as Bisaya people in the Visayas of the Philippines
Dont forget local dialects. Dialects from luzon are immensely different from mindanao, and a bit with visayas as well. Visayas and mindanao have lots of similarities but as you go to the northern and southern extremes, its like youre in a different country (language wise).
@@jmgonzales7701 yeah, they even didn't bother teaching us the Spanish language unlike in Mexico, Central America and South America . Most of the provinces were left with their own languages and dialects to communicate with each other. Even genetics prove that the average filipino has little to no Hispanic admixture at all.
@@pyophyo8901 I know that the United States practically erase all Hispanic traces from the Philippines, but for me, although not officially, I will always love them as Hispanic brothers :)
Can you also make: - Why Hungary and Romania hate each other? - How Thailand/Siam survied colonization - Why Greece and Albania hate each other? - How is Malta? - Why Spain and England/Britain hate each other? - Why Louxemberg exist? - Who are the BalkanCountries? - Why Russia and Turkey hate each other? - How did Japan become powerful?
For Hungary & Romania - Dispute over Transylvania, bad blood over the Catholic-Orthodox divide & Roma infiltration. (The Roma/Romani, commonly referred to as Gypsies are a group of nomadic ballads who entered the Balkans via Persia & their original homeland is in north-western part of the Indian subcontinent & speak the Romani language, which is closely related to the other North Indian languages. The Roma are not to be confused with the Romanians, who speak Romanian language, a Romance language related to French, Italian, Spanish & Portuguese. Due to their abject poverty & poor living conditions, Roma people are stereotyped as theives & pickpockets & were subjected to genocide during WW2). For Russia & Turkey - Russians date their history back to their Christianisation by the Byzantine Empire. Following the Ottoman conquest of Constantinople, Russia declared itself to be successor of the Byzantine Empire & has always dreamt of reconquering Constantinople from the Muslims (like any other devout Orthodox Christian) since the days of Tsar Peter the Great. Apart from the religious overtones, there is also a practical reason too - Russia wants access to the seas & become a naval power like other Western European nations but Saint Petersburg's location at the corner of the frigid Baltic sea made it vulnerable to blockades, while Sevastopol's influence lay only within the Black Sea whereas Constantinople gave access to the warm Mediterranean & lay at the junction of trade routes passing through Africa & Asia. In case of Turkey, it was initially due to racism fuelled by the inherently violent nature of Turks & Islamic notion of jihad (as proved by Armenian genocide, ethnic cleansing of Greeks from Anatolia & Cyprus, massacre of Bulgars in 1890s, mass murder of Assyrians during WW1 & present-day hostility towards Kurds), anger at the Russian Empire slowly eating away the Ottoman Empire's influence by supporting Christian rebels & annexing Moldova, Romania, Crimea, Georgia & Armenia, hostility of the USSR (leading to Turkey's enrolment into NATO) & currently over the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict. Armenians hold a very deep grudge against Turks due to the Armenian genocide & legitimately fear that Azerbaijan (which is basically a mini-Turkey in the Caucasus but with oil reserves) is planning to re-enact the Armenian genocide over fellow Armenians residing in the Nagorno-Karabakh area due to the fact that Azerbaijan & Turkey have legally denied the existence of the Armenian genocide (similar to Holocaust denial) & falsely propagate about a non-existent mass murder of Turks committed by Armenians with the support of Russia during WWI. The West sheds (crocodile) tears over the Armenian genocide on one end while simultaneously trying to get access to Azerbaijan's oil, which pits Armenia closer to Russia. Turkey's support to Syrian rebels (in tune with NATO policy) against the pro-Kurdish Bashar-al-Assad pits it against Russian interests. Russia & Turkey are also pitted against each other in the Libyan Civil War.

5:46 as someone from Luzon people tend to see Kapampanggan peeps as like the French, snobs who can make great food(they also eat snails and frog legs so not far off)
the kapampangan people get some of their food from their chinese mestizo ancestors anyways. some of them are macanese cantonese descendants and hokkien descendants so some chinese food is integrated in filipino cuisine because kapampangans integrated them. many of such food is cantonese because cantonese are also renowned to make great food.
the majority of course are hokkien, not hakka, but there are a few cantonese too like for example, ma mon luk. cantonese are renowned for having a tendency to start restaurant food business so there are many chinese cuisine in the philippines that uses cantonese cuisine besides hokkien cuisine. some old chinese mestizo families are also of macanese cantonese descent, for example, the Hizon family of Mexico, Pampanga are actually descended from chinese mestizo migrant townspeople from Malolos, Bulacan, who before that came from Binondo, Manila, who before that came from Macau where they spoke cantonese and portuguese.
@@xXxSkyViperxXx I guess I am one of those Kapampangan (I'm half from the father side) that has Chinese mestizo ancestors judging by my surname which is said to be of Hokkien origin. I don't even know much food that originated from Pampanga. But I read somewhere that sisig came from there and my dad used to buy longganisa and tosino from a store called Tita's in Pampanga.
@@JcDizon yeah Dizon is hokkien for 2nd grandchild, 二孫(dī-sun/dzī-sun), although sisig is probably native austronesian cuz the word itself is like one of those native austronesian verbs they used to describe a food, but there are other kapampangan food that is from chinese cuisine like some pancit varieties, asado, lumpia, moche and many more. some of them are renamed in spanish tho like asado is spanish for roasted but the food itself was introduced by chinese mestizos who brought cantonese cuisine of char siu

Hispanized last names were not adopted until the 1800's.

1:45 I'm actually from that city named Acapulco, there are quite some locals who have slanted eyes which is quite impressive, as Acapulco's main population are afro-mexicans; even in my family there are relatives who look like that and is no surprise, there had been a lot of mercantile activities there with the Philipines and China, in fact there was a fleet called 'La Nao [ nave or ship] de China' which is inaccurate since it came from Manila [although there were also chinese people selling goods as well], you can look it up [ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manila_galleon ]. Since the trading activity was so good some pirates started to stalk these ships, as response, both chinese and philipino [and ofc with the collaboration of the spaniard government at the time] merchants invested in Acapulco by founding a fortress to get rid of those persky pirates, 'El fuerte de San Diego' had been built for that purpose [ es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Museo_Hist%C3%B3rico_de_Acapulco_Fuerte_de_San_Diego ]. Nowadays la Nao de China keeps on coming to Acapulco just as and old tradition, but instead of bringing exotic goods now it comes with cultural events and artists from the Caribbean and Asia [Japan, China, Philipines, Korea, Myanmar, etc], is one of my favorite local events, I love both our mexican-philipino history and my ancestry [whoever they are or where they are]. ❤

If anyone is wondering what the chicken inside the egg is, it is balut. I do not recommend it for anyone who has a weak stomach.
Aka half developed duck fetus
Balut means “wrap” in malay is it the same over there?
it is a a fertilized duck egg and its boiled. its not only found in the philippines tho other southeast asian countries have them
@@ar0568 we have a word "balot" for that
@@ar0568 its because the unborn chick is wrapped around by the eggshell. we use "balot" today for "wrap"
Huge respects to Philipines
The Philippines being a maid by Qatar and Saudi is actually pretty accurate, for this who don't know a lot of Filipinos become OFW(Overseas Filipino Workers) and work in other countries and somehow a lot of them become maids of rich people in Saudi Arabia
so thats why a lot of tvs back in 2016 had a lot of stories about the bad stuff on working overseas
What about it, it's honest work.... 😳
It's because of us, the Arabs are learning proper hygiene... 😀

"Visayans are just sitting there eating popcorns"
Damn right it is
Culturally and linguistically Mindanao are pretty much just Visayan too
@@seancatacombs My family is from Cebu, and I disagree. Cebu is very much Westernized in every sense, and Cebuano people identify with the West. We are grow up surrounded with old Spanish buildings, American media, and the English language. Mindanao is less Westernized in comparison.
popcorn itself is influenced by americans or europeans in general. it represents visayans be eating more westernized things.
Because its peaceful
One interesting uniqueness of the Philippines is that it has the most number of people outside mainland China with ancestral roots to ancient chinese. Outnumbering Taiwan and Singapore. (Though more diluted since Philippines is 110M people).
I'm pretty sure Thailand outnumbers that (and I think maybe Malaysia).
Wait vietnam actually eats balut too. Infact they got it from them. They are the first ones to trade with pre-colonial philippines they traded with the kingdom of tondoh and sultanate of cebu.
Philippines gave then fermented shrimp paste. But because of the long distance between the two the fermented shrimp dries up hence why vietnamese fermented shrimp paste is dried and blocky.
The philippines is basically a sponge. They love absorbing different cultures in even mirrors their national language.
Filipino language is basically a mish mash of tagalog(and some local dialects) , italian , chinese , bahasa , english , spanish and arabic.
And oh yes president jollibee who doesnt remember him.
Lmao what an ass pull
Italian? I don't think Filipino language has influence from Italian at all. Philippines does love Spaghetti butthat's because of the Americans.
@@JcDizon veicolo/behikulo , machinna/makina , even the batangas accent ala eh? Yeah it came from italians its a very old it has no real meaning like boh or bol boh.
Italia is very very old it has influenced spain and even other european countries than in turn influenced younger nations.
And spaghetti wasn't brought by the americans. Filipinos were already making spaghetti long before. Its just not the sweet version that is popular today.
@@maosama3695 I think that's because Spanish and Italian are related languages because both descended from the Latin language.
@@JcDizon yes. If you look at the definition of the modern tagalog and what other languages it assimilated with you'd be surprised how many it is.
The most surprising language for me is that is included is nauhtl. It's an old pre-colonial mexican language and most tagalog word that is used today are from that language like kalabasa , nanay , tatay etc.
i noticed there have similarities between Philippines cultures with Borneo, from language, food to traditional clothes.. as Borneo Settlement in Sarawak, Malaysia, i found our native language (which is Sarawak Malay Language) is a bit similar with Tagalog rather the Standard Malay Language (Peninsular Malay).. for example Cat, in Standard Malay is KUCING, but in Sarawakian Malay is PUSAK.. similar to Tagolog 'Pusa'.. Dog in Standard Malay is ANJING, in Sarawakian Malay is ASUK, similar to Tagalog 'Aso'.. Chiken in Standard Malay is AYAM, in Sarawakian Malay is MANOK, similar to Tagalog 'Manok'.. and there have a lot.. and i saw Igorot people in Philippines is kinda similar to Dayak that live in Kalimantan (Indonesia) & Sarawak.. their traditional dance and musical instruments also similar to Sabah Tribe dance.. even the food like Suman & Bingka also similar to us.. and Philippines Ihaw Ihaw is similar to our 'Sate Panggang'.. my favourite is Kulit Manok (Chicken Skin), Chicken Liver & Buntut (Chicken Buttock).. dip with spicy sauce that made from vinegar, chilli and onion.. mouthwatering 😭.. but i come to Philippines there have more Varian of Ihaw Ihaw including Chicken Feet and even Chicken head too..
Tagalog has also kuting meaning baby cat.
@Omvi Lya I wonder why youtube hide your comment, this cesorship is getting annoying
Lowland Austronesians in the Philippines sailed from Borneo many centuries before the spaniards arrived. that is why there are many baranggays because they rode on ships called "Balangay". Also, in Tagalog, a "kuting" is a kitten. Also, borneo also has Bisaya people with same name as Bisaya people in the Visayas of the Philippines
brunei had a lot of influence in the philippines even the datus before had brunei ancestry, I'd read somewhere that palawan was once owned by brunei

As a half Filipino, it’s nice to see the Philippines get some attention.
Where other half goes?
@@green_hedger_68 maybe they are dual citizenship or dont understand what "Filipino" is

"Some" is an understatement. I remember Philippines election cause everyone on meltdown even on Western media. Pretty rare to witness that
@@cloudynguyen6527 which media? twitter? didnt see that? what they say? u mean like bong bong or duterte?
Dont forget local dialects.
Dialects from luzon are immensely different from mindanao, and a bit with visayas as well. Visayas and mindanao have lots of similarities but as you go to the northern and southern extremes, its like youre in a different country (language wise).
They're immensely different because they're separate languages.
Mofo cant distinguish language from dialect
I love my Hispanic brothers from the Philippines
We are not Hispanic.
umm we never spoke spanish and we arent hispanic.
@@jmgonzales7701 yeah, they even didn't bother teaching us the Spanish language unlike in Mexico, Central America and South America . Most of the provinces were left with their own languages and dialects to communicate with each other. Even genetics prove that the average filipino has little to no Hispanic admixture at all.
@@pyophyo8901 yes we might be mixed with something else.
@@pyophyo8901 I know that the United States practically erase all Hispanic traces from the Philippines, but for me, although not officially, I will always love them as Hispanic brothers :)

All great history
Balkans video already exists on this channel
@@troy5094 No, I talk about the all Countries themself in the Balkans
@@warriorman1708 Okay I get it. It would be a bit repetitive in my opinion though. Why do Greece and Albania hate each other would be a good topic.
For Hungary & Romania - Dispute over Transylvania, bad blood over the Catholic-Orthodox divide & Roma infiltration. (The Roma/Romani, commonly referred to as Gypsies are a group of nomadic ballads who entered the Balkans via Persia & their original homeland is in north-western part of the Indian subcontinent & speak the Romani language, which is closely related to the other North Indian languages. The Roma are not to be confused with the Romanians, who speak Romanian language, a Romance language related to French, Italian, Spanish & Portuguese. Due to their abject poverty & poor living conditions, Roma people are stereotyped as theives & pickpockets & were subjected to genocide during WW2).
For Russia & Turkey - Russians date their history back to their Christianisation by the Byzantine Empire. Following the Ottoman conquest of Constantinople, Russia declared itself to be successor of the Byzantine Empire & has always dreamt of reconquering Constantinople from the Muslims (like any other devout Orthodox Christian) since the days of Tsar Peter the Great. Apart from the religious overtones, there is also a practical reason too - Russia wants access to the seas & become a naval power like other Western European nations but Saint Petersburg's location at the corner of the frigid Baltic sea made it vulnerable to blockades, while Sevastopol's influence lay only within the Black Sea whereas Constantinople gave access to the warm Mediterranean & lay at the junction of trade routes passing through Africa & Asia. In case of Turkey, it was initially due to racism fuelled by the inherently violent nature of Turks & Islamic notion of jihad (as proved by Armenian genocide, ethnic cleansing of Greeks from Anatolia & Cyprus, massacre of Bulgars in 1890s, mass murder of Assyrians during WW1 & present-day hostility towards Kurds), anger at the Russian Empire slowly eating away the Ottoman Empire's influence by supporting Christian rebels & annexing Moldova, Romania, Crimea, Georgia & Armenia, hostility of the USSR (leading to Turkey's enrolment into NATO) & currently over the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict. Armenians hold a very deep grudge against Turks due to the Armenian genocide & legitimately fear that Azerbaijan (which is basically a mini-Turkey in the Caucasus but with oil reserves) is planning to re-enact the Armenian genocide over fellow Armenians residing in the Nagorno-Karabakh area due to the fact that Azerbaijan & Turkey have legally denied the existence of the Armenian genocide (similar to Holocaust denial) & falsely propagate about a non-existent mass murder of Turks committed by Armenians with the support of Russia during WWI. The West sheds (crocodile) tears over the Armenian genocide on one end while simultaneously trying to get access to Azerbaijan's oil, which pits Armenia closer to Russia. Turkey's support to Syrian rebels (in tune with NATO policy) against the pro-Kurdish Bashar-al-Assad pits it against Russian interests. Russia & Turkey are also pitted against each other in the Libyan Civil War.
That fact that you put Jollibee as a leader is pretty funny lmao

Nice! Haven’t seen a vid from this channel in a while.
5:46 as someone from Luzon people tend to see Kapampanggan peeps as like the French, snobs who can make great food(they also eat snails and frog legs so not far off)
the kapampangan people get some of their food from their chinese mestizo ancestors anyways. some of them are macanese cantonese descendants and hokkien descendants so some chinese food is integrated in filipino cuisine because kapampangans integrated them. many of such food is cantonese because cantonese are also renowned to make great food.
the majority of course are hokkien, not hakka, but there are a few cantonese too like for example, ma mon luk. cantonese are renowned for having a tendency to start restaurant food business so there are many chinese cuisine in the philippines that uses cantonese cuisine besides hokkien cuisine. some old chinese mestizo families are also of macanese cantonese descent, for example, the Hizon family of Mexico, Pampanga are actually descended from chinese mestizo migrant townspeople from Malolos, Bulacan, who before that came from Binondo, Manila, who before that came from Macau where they spoke cantonese and portuguese.
@@xXxSkyViperxXx I guess I am one of those Kapampangan (I'm half from the father side) that has Chinese mestizo ancestors judging by my surname which is said to be of Hokkien origin. I don't even know much food that originated from Pampanga. But I read somewhere that sisig came from there and my dad used to buy longganisa and tosino from a store called Tita's in Pampanga.
@@JcDizon yeah Dizon is hokkien for 2nd grandchild, 二孫(dī-sun/dzī-sun), although sisig is probably native austronesian cuz the word itself is like one of those native austronesian verbs they used to describe a food, but there are other kapampangan food that is from chinese cuisine like some pancit varieties, asado, lumpia, moche and many more. some of them are renamed in spanish tho like asado is spanish for roasted but the food itself was introduced by chinese mestizos who brought cantonese cuisine of char siu

Love to the Philippines from Hong Kong
Hispanized last names were not adopted until the 1800's. And life under American occupation varied, Americans would ethnically cleanse areas suspected of harboring rebels and for defying American rules and they would continue the practice of the Spanish and enact laws that would always put the Americans on top and put the Filipinos on a disadvantageous position.
To quote my Humanities 101 professor: "Filipinos are Westerners to the eyes of their fellow Asians and Asians to the eyes of Westerners."

Love your videos, keep up the great work.
1:45 I'm actually from that city named Acapulco, there are quite some locals who have slanted eyes which is quite impressive, as Acapulco's main population are afro-mexicans; even in my family there are relatives who look like that and is no surprise, there had been a lot of mercantile activities there with the Philipines and China, in fact there was a fleet called 'La Nao [ nave or ship] de China' which is inaccurate since it came from Manila [although there were also chinese people selling goods as well], you can look it up [ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manila_galleon ]. Since the trading activity was so good some pirates started to stalk these ships, as response, both chinese and philipino [and ofc with the collaboration of the spaniard government at the time] merchants invested in Acapulco by founding a fortress to get rid of those persky pirates, 'El fuerte de San Diego' had been built for that purpose [ es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Museo_Hist%C3%B3rico_de_Acapulco_Fuerte_de_San_Diego ]. Nowadays la Nao de China keeps on coming to Acapulco just as and old tradition, but instead of bringing exotic goods now it comes with cultural events and artists from the Caribbean and Asia [Japan, China, Philipines, Korea, Myanmar, etc], is one of my favorite local events, I love both our mexican-philipino history and my ancestry [whoever they are or where they are]. ❤
that's kind of cool
The Philippines - **Exists**
Literally everyone - It's free real estate
1:56 Not a lot of them immigrated to Philippines. If a lot of them did, we would've been speaking Spanish as well.
Correction: The US never beat up the Spanish, they made a backdoor deal with the spanish so that the Spanish would have never admitted they lost to natives.
The final battle was a staged act where the US did not even let the Filipinos participate.
The Revolutionaries were practically winning till the US showed up
