I'm from Mexico, I love your content. I think México and the Philippines have much in common, both are culturally rich and diverse nations that still have to reflect in their history and the social and political consequences of colonialism that persist in our days.
Hello bro, I'm from the Philippines, don't mind other saying stuff like colonialism and irrelevant things if it weren't for you guys Christianity would never spread in the Philippines so I thank u
And so to speak I'm a visayan, ilonggo to be specific 😅, and... I'd say we welcome the Spaniards with open arms to be open minded rather than pride itself
the comments in this thread are wild. wanting to be colonized...and one of them thinks Mexico and Spain are the same?? I'm so sorry my friend, as you can see, the education system in the Philippines is...something else.
In summation, conquerors only really conquer that which they see as profitable. The Catholic church saw people as profitable and the Spanish saw gold, trade, ports, and shipping lanes.
Dear Kirby, I've been following your channel for a short while, and I like your material. I'm also a trained historian and of bisaya heritage. I must ask, with all due respect, are you really a historian? And what kind of sources are you using to prepare your videos? Many of your videos seem to come out with theories that are not shared by most historian and seems to me they have a hint of revisionism? Again great entertaining value and great production value but I wonder whether you might be giving away personal interpretation as historical facts? With most people not been able to distinguish one from the other?
I am reading Guillermo Gomez Rivera's "The Independent History of Ylongo and Cebuano Visayans". Rivera is a "hispanista" who posits that these people resisted cooperation with the Katipunan , on the behalf of Spain, and in anticipation of American invasion, until after the Treaty of Paris. Clearly the diversity of indigenous cultures and political units resisted and concreted with Spanish, American, and Filipino rule. I live in Southeast Iowa, and my daughter-in-law is from Cebu City.
visayans might have been unreceptive in creating KKK chapters in their provinces but that eventually reversed once Aguinaldo was exiled after Biak-na-bato treaty. just around 1 year after the start of the revolution.
Ancient Visayans were also responsible for the protection of intramuros and manila, they served as the marines in the pasig river, they were also the reason why the chinese defenses were weakened thus warriors mostly from neighboring luzon(cagayanes, kapampangans, and tagalogs) easily subjugated and executed warring chinese pirates. The downside of this is that, because the spaniards most solely defended manila from a chinese invasion(Limahong), pirates from the south to borneo began to pursue their raiding expeditions leadingtge Visayas severely vulnerable to pirate raids, the true heroes of the visayans were the visayans themselves, especially their most ancient ancestor the pintados who were the vanguards for defending christian residents in the visayas.
@@jdlnz9484 you can read wari wari heights. Its an epic fictional story telling that foretells the battle between the moros and christian and ancient visayans, although fictional but the the event is based on real historical accounts.
👆Facts💯% that's nothing new Visayans Warriors⚔ also put the entire Philippines on the Boxing Map. Gabriel Flash Elorde, Nonito Donaire, Manny Pacquiao and etc.
Pls do about Igorots, because many Filipinos assumes them as Chinese because of their Slanted eyes... Wich is not true... Iam ilocano and many of my friends are Igorots. That's why i research of their origin, then it shows thats they are the purest Austronesian tribe of Philippines with DNA PATERNAL HAPLO O1A 90-99% wich is very austronesian derived DNA paternal... That's why they retain their mongoloids features unlike us lowlands Filipinos have intermix to other older people here such as negritos, thats results our slanted yet more rounder eyes now as lowlands Filipinos
no, you can tell many low landing filipinos are very similar looking to igorots, lowlanding filipinos are still very much autronesian and you can tell, this whole thing that we got mixed with people is not true, only about 20-25% of filipinos have some chinese ancestry and about 8-10% are mixed euorpeans, most are still austronesian, and igorots dont have slanted eyes like chinese do, theyre more rounded, just search up howw a chinese person looks and search igorots, worlds apart
@@biotyf4665pure austronesian, pure Austroasiatics were mongoloids race. When they migrated to South East Asia they intermix to Negritos. That's why South East Asians mongoloids have different phenotype compare to mongoloids race in East Asia... There is nothing wrong with that. That's the reality
@@biotyf4665 I've been to Cordillera. And many of my friends still very Mongoloids in feature... Indeed some of them were have also admixture of negrito because of back to mountains migration
Sequence of waves of people arriving in the Phil., as taught in my grade school: negritos who settled along the coasts indonesians buying out the negritos who went to the mountains who are now the Aetas Malays who drove the Indonesians to the mountains who are now Ifugaos more Malays who drove the earlier Malays to the mountains who are now Igorots Very simple lesson taught to barrio pupils.. Today, the lesson is a bit complicated as reflected below: Philippine Demographics: 56.44% - Malayan race (Austronesian or malay) 20.20% - South Chinese 12.24% - Indo Chinese 8.94% - East Asian 1.69% - Oceania 0.50% - Amerindian
I don’t think I’ve ever heard “tapestry” used as a metaphor so much. Might suggest communicating directly without the awkward use of flowery language redundantly.
Cebu, Bohol and Panay are not conquered since they started already as vassals of Spain thru Blood Compact. Unlike Manila, which has to be subjugated thru fierce battle with Visayans and Spain. The Visayans also did a major role in the Moro wars and also in the Christianization of the Mandaya people in Davao and Caraga region.
try delving more into the Visayan revolt against Spain. Here in Negros Occidental, we still commemorate Cinco de Noviembre when the Spaniards were ousted here in 1898.
I think the Visayans & the Spaniards know that they needed each other. The Visayans had enemies from both end, the Moro from Mindanao & the kingdom of Luzon. And the Visayans saw the advantage of having guns & canons. On the other hand, the Spaniards know that Visayans are fierce warriors and in great numbers. So the Spaniards recruited them as foot soldiers and probably promised them of freedom and other things.
@@halfevilhalfgood2206 that maybe true but then again Ilonggo are known Warriors. I’ve known Ilonggo people that fought the Moros during Marcos era and that Moros feared them. That’s why there’s so many Ilonggo in Southern Mindanao. By the way, Cebu is the center of Spanish settlement in Visayas.
Your comment is the most simplistic yet accurate description of the relationship and state of the Visayans and spaniards in the early days of the colonization
@@halfevilhalfgood2206 you should know that during the conquest of the spaniards in luzon they brought Cebuano Visayans with them along with some aztec warriors You can check the documented accounts of a tagalog or kapampangan settlement besieged by the spaniards and surrounded by the visayans though I forgot if it was a tagalog settlement or kapampangan but it was recorded
Great Presentation!!! What I can recommend though is try to make your explanations less vague and more simplified, for example you can simply point out that the Spaniards controlled the Visayans mainly through pacts and religion, not totally through persecution such as what mainly happen in Luzon, in other words through the Spaniards point of view, Luzon is their Slave, Visayas their Ally, and Mindanao is their enemy.
If I understand the information correctly, Yang Amat Mulia Pengiran Datu Kirby is saying that the Visayas managed to maintain a degree of independence from Spanish direct control because Spain redirected their efforts towards conquering Luzon?
to picture our the visayan geopolitical landscape, they recognize the spanish authority but there are very few spanish settlers in the area. cebu has to be demoted from a city into a mere town because the number of spaniards in the city was fewer than the number of seats for councilors. evangelization also made the christianized filipinos into less-warlike and they are susceptible to raids from their muslim and animist neighbors. in a way visayans have learned to fend for themselves but they are still under subservient to the spanish. and spanish efforts for spreading catholicism to all territories of the spanish east indies except luzon are centered in cebu. that includes guam among many spanish islands east of the philippines. that is why the second canonized filipino saint was killed in guam as it was still part of the diocese of cebu at that time.
Obviously yes. The Bisayas accepted Catholicism and even aided the Spanish in the conquest of Luzon. The 300 years of Spanish rule and Widespread of Catholicism is proof enough.
Hi Kuya Kirby. I'm glad the Visayas is represented in your channel. But do you think there was some form of empire or centralized government pre colonial Philippines? I've seen people representing the Kingdom of Tondo occupying much of Luzon. I wonder what their government was. Was it centralized? Was it a confederation? How did Tondo bring the entire Luzon under their rule. Conquest? Diplomacy? What about the Islamic kingdoms in Mindanao?
Tondo’s territory only reached central luzon they never occupied the entire island and mindanao was never islamic only the western part of it the rest was occupied by lumads and visayans in eastern mindanao
@@justice_crash2521 oh. that's interesting. Where do you get these resources.. What's the general religion of Visayas and eastern Mindanao then, Buddhism? Hinduism? Native religion?
People don't know that Spanish rule in the Philippines was due more to diplomacy than to the armed forces, unlike the Japanese and the Americans, the Spanish never sent their royal army to the Philippines, the Filipinos were their army, it's so like that. that in the 300 years of Spanish rule in the Philippines there were barely 3000 Spaniards on the entire island, that is, almost nothing, these 3000 Spaniards had to make agreements and negotiations with the natives to make them see that the rule of the king of Spain was better For them, they accepted it, obviously there were military campaigns to conquer by force by the Spanish, but these VERY USUALLY were made up of thousands of Filipino allies, but these often failed because the Indians resisted a lot, it is so that the The island of Mindanao was never conquered by the Spanish, the Spanish kept the Philippines almost by miracle, when the Spanish stopped making agreements with the Filipino elites that satisfied them and began to do things that were increasingly authoritarian, they lost many allies, in the end this ended up exploiting them. in the face and were defeated, but at least both the Spanish and the Filipinos treated each other with honor, as in the Spanish of Baler, in which the Spanish garrison surrendered with honor to the Filipinos and withdrew.
Spain didn't just conquer us by the sword, but with religion and culture too. Some, if not, most Spanish friars/priests were essentially the eyes and ears of the Spanish garrison, hence many Protestant churches in the Philippines arose.
Is there any scholarship on how much Spanish migration to the Philippines actually occurred? The pop theories that I've heard suggest the Philippines was more of a trade waystation into Asia versus the settler-colonial projects in South and Central America, which is why those regions were so heavily "Latinized" culturally and ethnically compared to the Philippines. But I'm curious whether the extreme depopulation of the Americas by the Spaniards played a role as well.
The Spaniards really did not conquer wholly the entire visayas thru war. The Spaniards did it with "DIPLOMACY" and "Trade"(Business) to other Visayan tribal chieftains. One is Rajah Humabon who became friendly to the spaniards. Rajah Humabon, once a tribal chieftain is one of the first converts to Christianity. He is obviously being BRIBED by the Spaniards unlike Lapu-Lapu who became a hero on resistance against the Spaniards.
Interesting, i have a big family in both Cebu and Samar and they all speak Bisayan. I was really just curious about the difference in the language, but did not know all of this rich history behind it and here i thought Lapulapu was just a MLBB character😂.
Thats y manila became the capital because while in cebu, the spaniards could never settle peacefully or build any fort coz of the continuos attacks from the visayans.
Hi Kirby sorry of topic, I'm just curious about our country during Napoleonic war, because I think france conqured spain that time, the curious part is, could had been the philippines was liberated by our ancestors that time?
@@razorsharpview9090 so meaning Spain under King Joseph was just a puppet Kingdm to france? and the situation of Philippines was like french indochina during WW2 when Hitler's Nazi conqured france?
@@paulchristiancanozaafaik, France under Napoleon didn't really put much interest outside of Europe since they are literally surrounded by enemies on all fronts. They put much of their effort solely on Europe. Going outside of Europe means sailing through the oceans and that also means, naval battles. The french can gold their ground on land battles but they can't go toe to toe with the British, which has the largest navy at the time. The Philippines at that time however, probably didn't have felt the effect that was happening in Europe. We can say that the Philippines was functioning normally. In fact, when Spain fell to Napoleon, Spanish colonies in the Americas saw Spain as weak and the idea of independence propagated.
Visayans were mostly Hindus under constant attack by the Moros. The Hindus were losing land as the majority of Mindanao and parts of Luzon have already converted. The arrival of the Spaniards presented an opportunity to defeat the advancing moors but the condition by Spain is that they convert to Catholicism. In return they were given European weapons and strategies. With that they helped Spain christianize the surrounding islands, the fall of Manila, ilocanos, tagalogs, and kapampangans, and victories in Mindanao. In the end the former Datus lost their lands and titles with the rise of the Catholic church as they submitted themselves to the teachings of sacrifice and vows of poverty. Naniwala naman sila kaya nawala lahat at walang naman mga anak nila. The Roman Catholic church gained more influence over Filipinos than the Spanish government.
Out of all Visayan islands, they have least control of Samar. You can see this by looking at the 17th and 18th centuries churches in Samar - most are surrounded by stone walls, because tthey are constantly raided by Samarnons throughout the colonial period.
100% Yes! one sure indicators is the religion of the colonizers being accepted by the people of the visayas. they even speak the language of the colonizers not long ago.
I would like to share here Galleon Trade was with Talolora (Mapno) and Gamay Bay Natural ports in Palapag, Samar...the northern tip of the Island of Samar before reaching the PORT OF CAPUL in the way for Sangley Point in Cavite, there is a historical records of labor of polo when the Spanish left for permanency of Galleon Trade port in Cavite... I believe there is no connection of Biliran as port in the Pacific of Galleon Trade...
Hello kirby. Im a big fan of yours. I hope you can make a video about the maragtas, the 10 datus of borneo aguinid and fake histories propagating in our history books.
Spanish Bribe the Visayans of Panay Island The Pintados warriors is the Favorite warriors of the Queen of Spain the Queen use the Pintados warrior to Conquer Luzon 😅😂🤣 thats what Our Historian said in Panay 😅😂🤣 Historian said Panay island Warriors are one of the most scary & Dangerous warriors in they Hunt at night like a cat looks like they can see at the Dark 😅😂🤣
To note, there is a big possibility that the Spanish friars (Augustinians and Jesuits) might have also been well-loved by the Visayans, in contrast to the abusive friars in Luzon. There are though a few instances of rebellion due to some instances of abusive priests (which can be considered an exemption) to the general well-loved priests. This is why I think the Visayas has for long been cooperative with the Spaniards since I see the Visayans as more readily retributive when offended.
I really appreciate you taking the time to provide such detailed insights. It's always fascinating to delve into historical discussions and consider different perspectives. The relationship between the Spanish friars and the Visayans is definitely a topic worth exploring further. Daghang salamat! 🙏🏽
spaniards never conquered the philippines. and philippines was a never a colony, though they use that word misleadingly. the spaniards define philippines as a territory. they never fought the people for it. if they did it would be 1000 to one. no way are the spaniards gonna win that war. what happened was blood compact. the significance of that is that it made the spaniards one of us. that means they are brothers from a different mother. philippines also at that time was a warring tribe. they were fighting amongs each other, and that was just convenient for the spaniards. as long they are fighting each other they are not fighting me. there problem was the moros, as you can see the moros were a united tribe. luckily for the them they have an endless supply of man power thanks to the blood compact with the natives. so the moros were fighting the spaniards and filipino natives which gave the spaniards an edge to beat the moros.
@kirbyAraullo I really think you should do a deep dive into HOW the Spanish ruled the Philippines BECAUSE you will find that for 250 years of the 333 years of Spanish colonialization, the majority of "Spaniards" were NOT from Spain!!! They were coming from Nueva Espana, what we know today as Mexico, and the Philippines asorbed more from Nueva Espana rather than directly from Spain. For 250 years, the Galleon Trade, was the ONLY way Spain was linked to the Philippines and they weren't sending many Spanish people from Spain. Spain made Mexico City the administrator of the Philippines and the MAJORITY of "spanish" people were coming from Nueva Espana and from some of the other colonies. Pure Spaniards in the Philippines for 250 years were very few and were only in leadership positions. Filipinos were being shipped to the western coast of Nueva Espana and were running off into the hills there and mixing in with the locals.
There are ( 23 Ethnic Visayan Languages ) but Sugbuano Language of SUGBU are widely spoken in Central Visayas, Western Visayas, Eastern Visayas and in Mindanao. But Imperialist Manila insisted on making Tanga-log as the national when it's only spoken in Manila.

Spanish army didn't defeat the Visayans, Christianity did. Once majority of the Visayan Datu converted and the mass conventions by both local and Spanish priest it was very difficult to resist because many locals are now accepting Jesus.
The main difference between Maguindanao, Bisaya, and Tagalog is that they are different languages spoken by different ethnic groups in the Philippines. Each language has its own unique characteristics, vocabulary, grammar, etc. I hope that answers your question 😊
Atleast the spanish leaved a legacy on Philippines like 30% of tagalog is spanish words, churches, schools, universities, catedrals, technology and treated as spanish citizens. What empire/country of that era would do the same? British? French? Americans? 😂
Bisaya is more Spanish words,kong mag bilang ng numero,Uno,Dos,Tres,Kwatro, Unlike sa Tagalog mag bilang,Isa,Dalawa,Tatlo,Apat😂at sa Spanish yong Sunday, Domingo at sa Bisaya naman Domingo, sa Tagalog malaking mali dahil yong Domingo naging Linggo 😂
USC was never called by a Spanish name "Universidad de San Carlos" since it only became a university in 1948. The school founded in 1595 was Colegio de San Ildefonso , and not USC. These two institutions are distinct from each other.
but still the spaniards took the lands from the visayans and send them to die in mindanao along with other colonial troops at the hands of the fierce Lumads and the powerful Moros this is very evident if you read the whole history of the spanish-moro wars very detailed from the mid 1500s until the early 1900s from spanish rule to the american rule(the moro rebellion)
Spanish didn't need to fight against Visayans if they were alr under banner of Spanish. just read about "Bood Compact Ritual" between Visayans and Spaniards.
@@ColoniaMurder20 They made deals that seemed beneficial to both parties. If anyone think that their traitor's, truth is that they are not. At that time the country Philippine wasn't even a concept yet.
If I understand the video correctly, Yang Amat Mulia Pengiran Datu Kirby is saying that the Visayas managed to maintain a degree of independence from Spanish direct control because Spain redirected their efforts towards conquering Luzon.
Bisaya people were smart enough to used Spanish to fight their fight against Tagalog and Muslim came from Borneo with their expansionism in Visayas Region.
Because the Tagalogs were a powerful force before the coming of the Spaniards. The Pintados tried many times to raid Manila, but they always fail, because Manila was a walled fortification since the 12th century A.D. and when the Spaniards arrived, the Pintados took the opportunity to ally with the Spaniards, and due to the superior firepower of the Spaniards, they were able to conquer Manila. Pintados think that the Spaniards will allow them to own Manila after the conquest, but they were wrong. It remained Tagalog majority until independence and today. That's why many people from Cebu are so bitter against Manileños right now, because they helped Spaniards to conquer Tagalogs, but they didn't get any benefit from it.
Wow Cebu literally accepted Spaniards. Cebuanos and most the Visayans were the first traitors. Where do you think the first Catholic church was established?
We should definitely take note that some ethnic groups in Kabisaya were not totally brought under the Spanish colonial umbrella either politically nor spiritually. People like the Ati (Negritos), Panay Bukidnon (“Suludnon”), and the Magahat of Negros still maintained their precolonial religious traditions completely out of the influence of the Church almost like the peoples of the Cordilleras. Although little Catholic influences would enter due to prolonged contact with colonized lowlanders.
you mean Tanga-log. Filipino is spanish given name to all of the 130 different Proto-Austronesian Ethnic tribes/groups in the very diversed 7,000 plus archipelago.
I don't think so because they have Chavacano language a Spanish creole in Zamboanga if you are not aware. Zamboanga is the Asian latin city because of Chavacano language and Spanish influences as well
@@zionreigo2593 maybe mindanao was less Spanish influences but as far as I know Mindanao are mixed Austronesian, Muslim and Spanish and others influences
Here's a video I made about it about 7 years ago 😊👉 ua-cam.com/video/_2-fhtbHGqw/v-deo.html p.s. I'm actually thinking of possibly doing a remake or an updated/expanded video about the Balangiga Massacre
Ask yourself mas marami Visayan sa AFP than the Tagalogs. Visayans chose the side of spain than being invaded by moros and luzon.

@@migspeculates the Visayans are pure pagans until now some practice babaylans and incantations, some believe in spirits of the forest. The Islamic Moro are hated by precolonial Visayans, some moros will pillage villages and settlements taking women as slaves and trophies.

@migspeculates sad to say you are wrong Luzon is under Visayas before for datu sumakwel is the leader of the 10 datu....check madjaas and sumakwelan code.....😂😂😂😂
Your video is too meandering and generic sweeping statements Kirby, please fix the chronological order of historical development, your stories jump here and there.. also lacking is the proper description of the local historical geopolitical situation in the pre colonial and early colonial situations... nakakahilo
Maraming kastila sa Visayas, pero hindi masaya ang kastila diyan sa mga isla na iyan kasi ang target nila talaga ay mamonopolize ang Chinese trade (thru Manila). Mas malawak din ang sakahan tubo at tabako sa Luzon kasi di hamak na mas malawak ang kapatagan sa Luzon.
Well, let's hope the Visayan Aswangs don't decide to conquer the rest of the world anytime soon. Western countries might need to start brushing up on their vampire and werewolf defense strategies! ✌️🤣
Who Cares Whether The Spaniards Conquered the Bisayans Or Not ... Bottom Line. Is that the Philippines Was Colonized by The Spaniards For at least Four Hundred Years .. Get it ???
The real truth about Spanish colonialization is that it was from about the 1520s to the late 1800s AND from about the 1560s to 1821, during the Galleon Trade years, pure Spaniards from Spain were very few in number in the Philippines. The Spaniards made Nueva Espana (Mexico) rule the Philippines during the Galleon years, so the majority of "Spanish" people coming to the Philippines were from Nueva Espana, what we know today as Mexico, and some of the other colonies in the Americas. This idea of thousands of Spaniards from Spain all over the Philippines for all the years of colonization is really false because the majority of the time, the "Spanish" in the Philippines were from the Americas. The only time there was pure Spanish rule was before and after the Galleon Trade years, before the 1560s and after 1821, when Mexico won its independence. Then we know that Spain lost the Philippines to the USA in the late 1800s
If YOU are not aware. The Spanish immigrants in our country(Philippines) only small numbers of Spanish immigrants unlike Latin America they recieve massive number of Spanish immigrants. That's the reason why our own unique cultures and influences in the Philippines is VERY alive In General We are culturally,linguistically and genetically Austronesian that originated in Mainland Asia
There are no tyrants if there are no slaves. There are no conquistadores if there are no conquered. There are no tycoons if there are no beggars. etc... etc... ad infinitum Sad to say, equal opportunity in large scale can only be found in Heaven... so always be ready to depart to Heaven! The Kingdom of Jesus Christ.
Lol😂😂, PATAWA KA and Luzon also VOW the Spaniard as well😂😂 your funny 😂😂. So it's means the people of luzon LOVE the the Spaniard??? because they have MORE Spanish influences compared to Visayas and Mindanao. CHAVACANO from cavite(Luzon) and Zamboanga(Mindanao) and NO Chavacano in Visayas. Chavacanos is a Spanish creole language but if you not aware AUSTRONESIAN cultures, traditions and influences is MAJOR DOMINACE in the Philippines. IN GENERAL we are Culturally, linguistically and genetically AUSTRONESIAN that originated in EAST ASIA. you can even google it or search in youtube.

I'm from Mexico, I love your content. I think México and the Philippines have much in common, both are culturally rich and diverse nations that still have to reflect in their history and the social and political consequences of colonialism that persist in our days.
Consequences of colonialism that persist till today? 😂 Do you know how many civilizations invaded Spain? And they don't blame anyone else? 😂😂😂
Hello bro, I'm from the Philippines, don't mind other saying stuff like colonialism and irrelevant things if it weren't for you guys Christianity would never spread in the Philippines so I thank u
And so to speak I'm a visayan, ilonggo to be specific 😅, and... I'd say we welcome the Spaniards with open arms to be open minded rather than pride itself
Magellan travel to ph is part of gods plan and even magellan didnt now but at end of they day everybody will conclude
the comments in this thread are wild. wanting to be colonized...and one of them thinks Mexico and Spain are the same?? I'm so sorry my friend, as you can see, the education system in the Philippines is...something else.
In summation, conquerors only really conquer that which they see as profitable. The Catholic church saw people as profitable and the Spanish saw gold, trade, ports, and shipping lanes.
Confession... this video (and series) was supposed to come out back in 2022 ! But life offline got in the way 😅
Wala prablema bro. Nindoot kaayo your content!
Dear Kirby, I've been following your channel for a short while, and I like your material. I'm also a trained historian and of bisaya heritage. I must ask, with all due respect, are you really a historian? And what kind of sources are you using to prepare your videos? Many of your videos seem to come out with theories that are not shared by most historian and seems to me they have a hint of revisionism? Again great entertaining value and great production value but I wonder whether you might be giving away personal interpretation as historical facts? With most people not been able to distinguish one from the other?
I am reading Guillermo Gomez Rivera's "The Independent History of Ylongo and Cebuano Visayans". Rivera is a "hispanista" who posits that these people resisted cooperation with the Katipunan , on the behalf of Spain, and in anticipation of American invasion, until after the Treaty of Paris. Clearly the diversity of indigenous cultures and political units resisted and concreted with Spanish, American, and Filipino rule. I live in Southeast Iowa, and my daughter-in-law is from Cebu City.
visayans might have been unreceptive in creating KKK chapters in their provinces but that eventually reversed once Aguinaldo was exiled after Biak-na-bato treaty. just around 1 year after the start of the revolution.
u made sense. How come the flips still have fumes after Spanish war? Coz they just used 10% of their power.. lol
Ancient Visayans were also responsible for the protection of intramuros and manila, they served as the marines in the pasig river, they were also the reason why the chinese defenses were weakened thus warriors mostly from neighboring luzon(cagayanes, kapampangans, and tagalogs) easily subjugated and executed warring chinese pirates. The downside of this is that, because the spaniards most solely defended manila from a chinese invasion(Limahong), pirates from the south to borneo began to pursue their raiding expeditions leadingtge Visayas severely vulnerable to pirate raids, the true heroes of the visayans were the visayans themselves, especially their most ancient ancestor the pintados who were the vanguards for defending christian residents in the visayas.
This is so cool, where can I learn more about these events?
@@jdlnz9484 you can read wari wari heights. Its an epic fictional story telling that foretells the battle between the moros and christian and ancient visayans, although fictional but the the event is based on real historical accounts.

Pls do about Igorots, because many Filipinos assumes them as Chinese because of their Slanted eyes... Wich is not true... Iam ilocano and many of my friends are Igorots. That's why i research of their origin, then it shows thats they are the purest Austronesian tribe of Philippines with DNA PATERNAL HAPLO O1A 90-99% wich is very austronesian derived DNA paternal... That's why they retain their mongoloids features unlike us lowlands Filipinos have intermix to other older people here such as negritos, thats results our slanted yet more rounder eyes now as lowlands Filipinos
no, you can tell many low landing filipinos are very similar looking to igorots, lowlanding filipinos are still very much autronesian and you can tell, this whole thing that we got mixed with people is not true, only about 20-25% of filipinos have some chinese ancestry and about 8-10% are mixed euorpeans, most are still austronesian, and igorots dont have slanted eyes like chinese do, theyre more rounded, just search up howw a chinese person looks and search igorots, worlds apart
@@biotyf4665pure austronesian, pure Austroasiatics were mongoloids race. When they migrated to South East Asia they intermix to Negritos. That's why South East Asians mongoloids have different phenotype compare to mongoloids race in East Asia... There is nothing wrong with that. That's the reality
@@biotyf4665 I've been to Cordillera. And many of my friends still very Mongoloids in feature... Indeed some of them were have also admixture of negrito because of back to mountains migration
Sequence of waves of people arriving in the Phil., as taught in my grade school:
negritos who settled along the coasts
indonesians buying out the negritos who went to the mountains who are now the Aetas
Malays who drove the Indonesians to the mountains who are now Ifugaos
more Malays who drove the earlier Malays to the mountains who are now Igorots
Very simple lesson taught to barrio pupils..
Today, the lesson is a bit complicated as reflected below:
Philippine Demographics:
56.44% - Malayan race (Austronesian or malay)
20.20% - South Chinese
12.24% - Indo Chinese
8.94% - East Asian
1.69% - Oceania
0.50% - Amerindian

Cebu, Bohol and Panay are not conquered since they started already as vassals of Spain thru Blood Compact. Unlike Manila, which has to be subjugated thru fierce battle with Visayans and Spain. The Visayans also did a major role in the Moro wars and also in the Christianization of the Mandaya people in Davao and Caraga region.
No blood compact happened in Panay, only formal alliance.
Proud to be Kinaray a nga Bisaya/Visaya.
try delving more into the Visayan revolt against Spain. Here in Negros Occidental, we still commemorate Cinco de Noviembre when the Spaniards were ousted here in 1898.
And the first revolutionary of pre colonial Philippines Dagohoy of bohol
Wow, another fantastic video from Yang Amat Mulia Pengiran Datu Kirby!
I think the Visayans & the Spaniards know that they needed each other. The Visayans had enemies from both end, the Moro from Mindanao & the kingdom of Luzon. And the Visayans saw the advantage of having guns & canons. On the other hand, the Spaniards know that Visayans are fierce warriors and in great numbers. So the Spaniards recruited them as foot soldiers and probably promised them of freedom and other things.
Not all Visayans, only Ilonggos served them over 300 years.
@@halfevilhalfgood2206 that maybe true but then again Ilonggo are known Warriors. I’ve known Ilonggo people that fought the Moros during Marcos era and that Moros feared them. That’s why there’s so many Ilonggo in Southern Mindanao. By the way, Cebu is the center of Spanish settlement in Visayas.
@@lapulapubloodline4126that's why a lot of AFP men especially in the Army were ilonggos.
Your comment is the most simplistic yet accurate description of the relationship and state of the Visayans and spaniards in the early days of the colonization
@@halfevilhalfgood2206 you should know that during the conquest of the spaniards in luzon they brought Cebuano Visayans with them along with some aztec warriors
You can check the documented accounts of a tagalog or kapampangan settlement besieged by the spaniards and surrounded by the visayans though I forgot if it was a tagalog settlement or kapampangan but it was recorded
Great Presentation!!! What I can recommend though is try to make your explanations less vague and more simplified, for example you can simply point out that the Spaniards controlled the Visayans mainly through pacts and religion, not totally through persecution such as what mainly happen in Luzon, in other words through the Spaniards point of view, Luzon is their Slave, Visayas their Ally, and Mindanao is their enemy.
If I understand the information correctly, Yang Amat Mulia Pengiran Datu Kirby is saying that the Visayas managed to maintain a degree of independence from Spanish direct control because Spain redirected their efforts towards conquering Luzon?
to picture our the visayan geopolitical landscape, they recognize the spanish authority but there are very few spanish settlers in the area. cebu has to be demoted from a city into a mere town because the number of spaniards in the city was fewer than the number of seats for councilors.
evangelization also made the christianized filipinos into less-warlike and they are susceptible to raids from their muslim and animist neighbors. in a way visayans have learned to fend for themselves but they are still under subservient to the spanish.
and spanish efforts for spreading catholicism to all territories of the spanish east indies except luzon are centered in cebu. that includes guam among many spanish islands east of the philippines. that is why the second canonized filipino saint was killed in guam as it was still part of the diocese of cebu at that time.
Obviously yes. The Bisayas accepted Catholicism and even aided the Spanish in the conquest of Luzon. The 300 years of Spanish rule and Widespread of Catholicism is proof enough.
As your Cebuano fan, you have validated my speculation of Hispanic Visayas. Good Job.👍
Daghang salamat! 🙏🏽
Hi Kuya Kirby. I'm glad the Visayas is represented in your channel. But do you think there was some form of empire or centralized government pre colonial Philippines? I've seen people representing the Kingdom of Tondo occupying much of Luzon. I wonder what their government was. Was it centralized? Was it a confederation? How did Tondo bring the entire Luzon under their rule. Conquest? Diplomacy?
What about the Islamic kingdoms in Mindanao?
Tondo’s territory only reached central luzon they never occupied the entire island and mindanao was never islamic only the western part of it the rest was occupied by lumads and visayans in eastern mindanao
@@justice_crash2521 oh. that's interesting. Where do you get these resources.. What's the general religion of Visayas and eastern Mindanao then, Buddhism? Hinduism? Native religion?
@@woodykusaki9970 yes a mixture hindu/buddhist and animist
Ah. I see. Thanks
People don't know that Spanish rule in the Philippines was due more to diplomacy than to the armed forces, unlike the Japanese and the Americans, the Spanish never sent their royal army to the Philippines, the Filipinos were their army, it's so like that. that in the 300 years of Spanish rule in the Philippines there were barely 3000 Spaniards on the entire island, that is, almost nothing, these 3000 Spaniards had to make agreements and negotiations with the natives to make them see that the rule of the king of Spain was better For them, they accepted it, obviously there were military campaigns to conquer by force by the Spanish, but these VERY USUALLY were made up of thousands of Filipino allies, but these often failed because the Indians resisted a lot, it is so that the The island of Mindanao was never conquered by the Spanish, the Spanish kept the Philippines almost by miracle, when the Spanish stopped making agreements with the Filipino elites that satisfied them and began to do things that were increasingly authoritarian, they lost many allies, in the end this ended up exploiting them. in the face and were defeated, but at least both the Spanish and the Filipinos treated each other with honor, as in the Spanish of Baler, in which the Spanish garrison surrendered with honor to the Filipinos and withdrew.
They also brought some of their mesoamerican allies
Spain didn't just conquer us by the sword, but with religion and culture too. Some, if not, most Spanish friars/priests were essentially the eyes and ears of the Spanish garrison, hence many Protestant churches in the Philippines arose.
Don't make me laugh Spaniards only had diplomatic clout because of their military prowess. Why else would native magnates involve them in anything
And the true conquistadores were the Spanish Catholic missionaries.
Is there any scholarship on how much Spanish migration to the Philippines actually occurred? The pop theories that I've heard suggest the Philippines was more of a trade waystation into Asia versus the settler-colonial projects in South and Central America, which is why those regions were so heavily "Latinized" culturally and ethnically compared to the Philippines. But I'm curious whether the extreme depopulation of the Americas by the Spaniards played a role as well.
The Spaniards really did not conquer wholly the entire visayas thru war. The Spaniards did it with "DIPLOMACY" and "Trade"(Business) to other Visayan tribal chieftains. One is Rajah Humabon who became friendly to the spaniards. Rajah Humabon, once a tribal chieftain is one of the first converts to Christianity. He is obviously being BRIBED by the Spaniards unlike Lapu-Lapu who became a hero on resistance against the Spaniards.
Interesting, i have a big family in both Cebu and Samar and they all speak Bisayan. I was really just curious about the difference in the language, but did not know all of this rich history behind it and here i thought Lapulapu was just a MLBB character😂.
Thats y manila became the capital because while in cebu, the spaniards could never settle peacefully or build any fort coz of the continuos attacks from the visayans.
I'm Bohalano proudly Visayan Descent....
Hello sir I want to ask if there's an epidemic recorded in our pre-colonial history? Thank you in advance
Not that I know of, but it's worth digging deeper. A very interesting topic for future videos. Salamat!
Hi Kirby sorry of topic, I'm just curious about our country during Napoleonic war, because I think france conqured spain that time, the curious part is, could had been the philippines was liberated by our ancestors that time?
Philippines during King Joseph Bonaparte's Reign actually was represented in Spain for the first time.
@@razorsharpview9090 so meaning Spain under King Joseph was just a puppet Kingdm to france? and the situation of Philippines was like french indochina during WW2 when Hitler's Nazi conqured france?
@@paulchristiancanozaafaik, France under Napoleon didn't really put much interest outside of Europe since they are literally surrounded by enemies on all fronts. They put much of their effort solely on Europe.
Going outside of Europe means sailing through the oceans and that also means, naval battles. The french can gold their ground on land battles but they can't go toe to toe with the British, which has the largest navy at the time.
The Philippines at that time however, probably didn't have felt the effect that was happening in Europe. We can say that the Philippines was functioning normally.
In fact, when Spain fell to Napoleon, Spanish colonies in the Americas saw Spain as weak and the idea of independence propagated.
Visayans were mostly Hindus under constant attack by the Moros. The Hindus were losing land as the majority of Mindanao and parts of Luzon have already converted. The arrival of the Spaniards presented an opportunity to defeat the advancing moors but the condition by Spain is that they convert to Catholicism. In return they were given European weapons and strategies. With that they helped Spain christianize the surrounding islands, the fall of Manila, ilocanos, tagalogs, and kapampangans, and victories in Mindanao. In the end the former Datus lost their lands and titles with the rise of the Catholic church as they submitted themselves to the teachings of sacrifice and vows of poverty. Naniwala naman sila kaya nawala lahat at walang naman mga anak nila. The Roman Catholic church gained more influence over Filipinos than the Spanish government.
Great visuals and narration!
Thank you! 🙏🏽

im back to watching you Kirby, straightforward discussionsv. no annoying giggles peace ☺️
Out of all Visayan islands, they have least control of Samar. You can see this by looking at the 17th and 18th centuries churches in Samar - most are surrounded by stone walls, because tthey are constantly raided by Samarnons throughout the colonial period.
did you use chat GPT for the script?
Great content, subbed 🙏
100% Yes! one sure indicators is the religion of the colonizers being accepted by the people of the visayas. they even speak the language of the colonizers not long ago.
I would like to share here Galleon Trade was with Talolora (Mapno) and Gamay Bay Natural ports in Palapag, Samar...the northern tip of the Island of Samar before reaching the PORT OF CAPUL in the way for Sangley Point in Cavite, there is a historical records of labor of polo when the Spanish left for permanency of Galleon Trade port in Cavite...

To note, there is a big possibility that the Spanish friars (Augustinians and Jesuits) might have also been well-loved by the Visayans, in contrast to the abusive friars in Luzon. There are though a few instances of rebellion due to some instances of abusive priests (which can be considered an exemption) to the general well-loved priests. This is why I think the Visayas has for long been cooperative with the Spaniards since I see the Visayans as more readily retributive when offended.
I really appreciate you taking the time to provide such detailed insights. It's always fascinating to delve into historical discussions and consider different perspectives. The relationship between the Spanish friars and the Visayans is definitely a topic worth exploring further. Daghang salamat! 🙏🏽
spaniards never conquered the philippines. and philippines was a never a colony, though they use that word misleadingly. the spaniards define philippines as a territory. they never fought the people for it. if they did it would be 1000 to one. no way are the spaniards gonna win that war. what happened was blood compact. the significance of that is that it made the spaniards one of us. that means they are brothers from a different mother. philippines also at that time was a warring tribe. they were fighting amongs each other, and that was just convenient for the spaniards. as long they are fighting each other they are not fighting me. there problem was the moros, as you can see the moros were a united tribe. luckily for the them they have an endless supply of man power thanks to the blood compact with the natives. so the moros were fighting the spaniards and filipino natives which gave the spaniards an edge to beat the moros.
@kirbyAraullo I really think you should do a deep dive into HOW the Spanish ruled the Philippines BECAUSE you will find that for 250 years of the 333 years of Spanish colonialization, the majority of "Spaniards" were NOT from Spain!!! They were coming from Nueva Espana, what we know today as Mexico, and the Philippines asorbed more from Nueva Espana rather than directly from Spain. For 250 years, the Galleon Trade, was the ONLY way Spain was linked to the Philippines and they weren't sending many Spanish people from Spain. Spain made Mexico City the administrator of the Philippines and the MAJORITY of "spanish" people were coming from Nueva Espana and from some of the other colonies. Pure Spaniards in the Philippines for 250 years were very few and were only in leadership positions. Filipinos were being shipped to the western coast of Nueva Espana and were running off into the hills there and mixing in with the locals.
Y'all realize all of this is just a case of "he said, she said, they said, we said", right?
Don't forget the Cordillerans who managed to keep themselves out of full Spanish control.
In short if you want fierce warriors you needed to go and make alliances with the Ylonggos, Sugbuanons and Waraynons.

Spain didn't took hold of the Visayas region for long. That's why they transferred their seat of government in Intramuros Manila.
Spanish didn't need to fight against Visayans if they were alr under banner of Spanish. just read about "Bood Compact Ritual" between Visayans and Spaniards.
@@ColoniaMurder20 They made deals that seemed beneficial to both parties. If anyone think that their traitor's, truth is that they are not. At that time the country Philippine wasn't even a concept yet.

Why?
@@earlnovero8208because tagalogs and moros are enemies of bisayans
@@earlnovero8208takot sila diyos ayun unang panakot nila
BISAYA LANG MALAKAS
Because the Tagalogs were a powerful force before the coming of the Spaniards. The Pintados tried many times to raid Manila, but they always fail, because Manila was a walled fortification since the 12th century A.D. and when the Spaniards arrived, the Pintados took the opportunity to ally with the Spaniards, and due to the superior firepower of the Spaniards, they were able to conquer Manila. Pintados think that the Spaniards will allow them to own Manila after the conquest, but they were wrong. It remained Tagalog majority until independence and today. That's why many people from Cebu are so bitter against Manileños right now, because they helped Spaniards to conquer Tagalogs, but they didn't get any benefit from it.
Conquistador avoid cebu because they are afraid of what happened to magellan. Manila defeated and welcome them, not like Cebu and Mindanao resist.
Wow Cebu literally accepted Spaniards. Cebuanos and most the Visayans were the first traitors. Where do you think the first Catholic church was established?
We should definitely take note that some ethnic groups in Kabisaya were not totally brought under the Spanish colonial umbrella either politically nor spiritually.
People like the Ati (Negritos), Panay Bukidnon (“Suludnon”), and the Magahat of Negros still maintained their precolonial religious traditions completely out of the influence of the Church almost like the peoples of the Cordilleras. Although little Catholic influences would enter due to prolonged contact with colonized lowlanders.

Tausug is also Bisaya, and Datu is Malay/Austronesian word. Bisaya is also Malay.
Who Cares Whether The Spaniards Conquered the Bisayans Or Not ... Bottom Line. Is that the Philippines Was Colonized by The Spaniards For at least Four Hundred Years .. Get it ???
The real truth about Spanish colonialization is that it was from about the 1520s to the late 1800s AND from about the 1560s to 1821, during the Galleon Trade years, pure Spaniards from Spain were very few in number in the Philippines. The Spaniards made Nueva Espana (Mexico) rule the Philippines during the Galleon years, so the majority of "Spanish" people coming to the Philippines were from Nueva Espana, what we know today as Mexico, and some of the other colonies in the Americas. This idea of thousands of Spaniards from Spain all over the Philippines for all the years of colonization is really false because the majority of the time, the "Spanish" in the Philippines were from the Americas. The only time there was pure Spanish rule was before and after the Galleon Trade years, before the 1560s and after 1821, when Mexico won its independence. Then we know that Spain lost the Philippines to the USA in the late 1800s
If YOU are not aware. The Spanish immigrants in our country(Philippines) only small numbers of Spanish immigrants unlike Latin America they recieve massive number of Spanish immigrants. That's the reason why our own unique cultures and influences in the Philippines is VERY alive
In General
We are culturally,linguistically and genetically Austronesian that originated in Mainland Asia
There are no tyrants if there are no slaves.
There are no conquistadores if there are no conquered.
There are no tycoons if there are no beggars.
etc... etc... ad infinitum
Sad to say, equal opportunity in large scale can only be found in Heaven... so always be ready to depart to Heaven! The Kingdom of Jesus Christ.
visayas was not conquered because they VOW to the spaniards
Lol😂😂, PATAWA KA and Luzon also VOW the Spaniard as well😂😂 your funny 😂😂. So it's means the people of luzon LOVE the the Spaniard??? because they have MORE Spanish influences compared to Visayas and Mindanao. CHAVACANO from cavite(Luzon) and Zamboanga(Mindanao) and NO Chavacano in Visayas. Chavacanos is a Spanish creole language but if you not aware AUSTRONESIAN cultures, traditions and influences is MAJOR DOMINACE in the Philippines.
IN GENERAL
