Thank you for all the great comments :) Corrections: I Did not mention the Philippine-American War (1899-1902). This took place during the United States Military Government of the Philippine Islands 1898-1902 at 6:45 into the video. The Philippine-American War was an armed conflict between the First Philippine Republic and the United States. I should have included this. I pronounced several words wrong including Barangays, ifugao, and archipelago :(
Epimetheus did you watch Solomon Gold by God Culture?, About ancients history of Philippines before Spanish come to Philippines. Ancients name of Philippines was Ophir but Spanish change it to Philippines.
Thank you for this video because a lot of people both foreign and local think the natives were civilized only when the Spanish colonized us... it's sad. The Spanish brainwashed people into believing that they civilized the natives but they also made the Boxer Codex which depicts the natives in expensive silk clothings and lavish gold jewelries. - i.redd.it/kl9usp4rvxdz.jpg - i.redd.it/fzv77yd60pkz.jpg - i.redd.it/hkqdvpwqz9cz.jpg If you want to learn more watch this videos - ua-cam.com/video/dpbWBwf7c54/v-deo.html - asiasociety.org/video/philippine-gold-curator-talk-complete It was obvious why the Spanish colonized the archipelago.
Before Spaniards arrived your country as such did not exist, but a bunch of divided islands and tribes. The name of your country is the name of the Spanish king at that time. USA and its allies in Europe have been working hard to undermine Spain. You were a province in Spain, not a colony. Anglo Saxon culture is a criminal one along with Dutch.
@@acaymo76 Listen up Spaniard, your ancestors destroyed literally all of the cultural assets in the ancient Philippines, that's why it seems there's nothing. Just think, they had technology to extract and process gold to make jewelries and HAD their own writing system too, that tells a lot in historical perspective
@@Edhilues The Phillipines before colonialism wasn't united though? It being an archapelago made it so that a lot of groups had their own culture which is still visible today. The fact we have over a hundred official languages is proof of this. We never forgot our original languages from before colonialism. The Phillipines before colonialism was more like multiple different countries/groups/tribes made up of immigrants from multiple different ethnicities and neighboring countries
For someone who is not even a Filipino himself to make such detailed video about the history of the Philippines makes my heart ache a bit. This video is underrated, it deserves more views from “Filipinos” than those senseless, uneducable materials on YT. Thank you for your passion.
It’s incredible this yt channel was able to make my country’s history in 8 mins but I think some of it isn’t accurate but of course it’s only 8 mins giving an outline of the history
Having worked with different Filipinos over the years, they seems to have one thing in common they never give up even when the odds are stuck against them.
Hi Taufik, I teach about ancient Philippine history, you can read my article in the link below. www.quora.com/What-is-the-most-obscure-ancient-civilization-that-most-people-dont-know-talk-about/answer/Dayang-Marikit
@SUBSCRIBE ME I'LL SUBSCRIBE YOU BACK we dont deny being a malay but many people forget that we are a mix breed go Chinese, Mexicans, Spaniards and Pacific islanders. I for one gets mistaken as a half breed when 1/4 of my blood is chinese ,1/4 Hispanic and the rest is Malay. I live in Visayas and there are alot of wealthy Visayans that are from Spanish descent and well the poor are from malayan thats why they go to Manila to find work. Its easily recoginizable when youre from here.
Not that they wanted to become Latinos or Latinas, they are the Spanish Filipinos and Spanish descends result of intermarriage of their ancestors with the Spaniards. I've read about Filipino Spanish and Spanish descends in Wikipedia Encyclopedia also the Austronesian.
See im an igorot and 4ever be proud. proud that we are warriors with heart and soul we love our lands and locked it down for years we protect our children culture and lands. northern luzon will always be feared because of our fierce love to our lands. People criticize us because of our "wanes"(tailed costume) but no. it just shows that we preserve our culture and 4ever be passed generation by generation.
Protected for so many years against the Spanish and their corrupt church that raped and stole from the country. All that until the americans came and taught you about country music, line dancing and brought missionaries to the highlands.
I respect and admire the Igorots very much. I know how you value your culture and have successfully protected it. I also admire the good traits of the Igorots such as being hardworking, thrifty and serious when it comes to work. I hope all Filipinos will become like that.
Raja - Datu - Bayan. Quite similar to Lombok, Indonesia. We also call our parent quite the same. Ina (mother in the Philippines) = Ina' (Mother in Lombok, Indonesia). Ama (Father in the Philippines) = Ama' (Father in Lombok, Indonesia). There are also many other similar words.
My father’s family were the Cheiftains of Ifugao, the Igorots of this area. (I say this bc many people I’ve encountered are embarrassed or down play their Igorot lineage.) My mom’s maternal grandfather was the great Datu of modern day Benguet (Igorot Area). After the US politically organized the mountains of Luzon, the US appointed him as mayor of Kapangan (which drastically shrunk his fiefdom). When you visit the courthouse of Kapangan you will see, Fianza’s name in the list of chiefs and mayors. For some clarification, the US gave large portions of Igorot lands of modern day Baguio and Benguet to several rich and politically savvy Ilocanos. That is why igorots have not historically been mayors of Baguio or have been at the high end of business leaders. Basically, we were cut out of the democratization of our lands.
Let me add a thanks and this. You had many correct and long forgot facts. Among them were the gold anklets. My dad’s dad told me of these ornaments. Men of high ranking in Ifugao would wear them. In fact, the more worn, then the more prestige. Also the louder they became while walking. This sound of several anklets clanging was the sound of a member of Ifugao high society-besides having certain facial tattoos but that’s another story...
Wayne Winter True dat, I’m bless for that info. In 1960s, my dad’s brother found several elder tribesmen who still knew the oral lineage. My uncle had them written down on the side of the communal hut in Ifugao. So on my paternal side, I can count 10 generations.
Kabsat. My wife has igorot blood and im happy you know who you are and from whence u came. Can i suggest that your Grandfatherd were probably not called datus but lakay or lakan. 😉 Also ilocanos seem to be racially more similar to igorots and it seems to me that they were simple lowland igorot who were force christianized by spain. It seems apparent that the kingdoms of kaigorotan and katagalugan (which was the kingdom of tondo and included kapampangans and bicolanos) were the greater kingdoms whih existed in luzon in oldened days(funily kapampangan seems to mean from the banks of the river and tagalog actually came from taga ilog from the river) Im happy you know you truly come from these lands. I sadly cannot as most of my ancestors were the insular spaniards and their bastards the "mesrizos". We were in a sense the primal Filipinos as i believe that the Filipino identity is a synthetic, colonial identity. Most of my people were the latest and most virulant immigrants to these lands. The original inhibitants however... the austronesians and the malays and the others were classed differently but they should not be ashamed of who they are and that they should stand proud that they are not originally filipino. I dont agree with the filipino identity honestly but if it flourishes further and not destroy itself. I pray it well. As for me and my wife. We are joining a different people soon
@Matthew Tenorio_3200654 True, there were Datu whom had enough wealth/influence to be treated like a Rajah, but still held the title of Datu. To the point that there are cases where the titles "Datu" and "Rajah" are interchanged. Take for example Datu Sumakwei or Later on Datu Puti, they were the respective leaders of the 10 Datus of Madjaas during their individual reigns. They were Datu but we treated like Kings at the time. In context of this video I'm just providing direct translation of the terms.
Even im from malaysia...i know a little bit about philipine history especially about JOSE RIZAL....damn we have to learn it in high school and to get pass in exam...love your history
I don’t agree with how president Marcos tagged as a dictator and a corrupt President when in fact Philippines was a progressive country during his reign. Peso to dollars that time was $1= 1 peso. When Cory came to power all free food supplies for The poor were stopped and poor became poorer and rich became richer and the Tiger of Asia has fallen into rubbles. We were fed with lies using media and Radios. Since then Filipinos started to leave the country to sipport their families. Too bad I’m one of them.
Btw we werent just tribes or savages, some kingdoms under the rule of Datus and sultans possesed cannons called lantakas and hand cannons, our Karakoa ships were also said to be more faster than the magellan ships
The karakoa ships were more bigger and had more people than the Spanish galleons. It would have been interesting to see the result if spain fought head on and did not trick our datus into forging “alliances”
Spain is not very large in land mass their empire was built on hardship and blood and sacrifice, the Datu of the Philippines could have been a major threat if they were cohesive as the Spanish were.
Magellan: Time to colonize this island Lapu-Lapu: I'm about to end this man's whole career Edit: okay okay I get it, he didn't invade, he wanted to colonize it, still though, he was an asshole
As a Filipino who likes pre-colonial history, this video is pretty informative save for some wrong pronunciation of Filipino words. Props for mentioning Laguna Copperplate Inscription, I saw it personally at the National Museum of the Philippines.
the Spanish brainwashed people into believing that they civilized the natives but they also made the Boxer Codex which depicts the natives in expensive silk clothings and lavish gold jewelries. - i.redd.it/kl9usp4rvxdz.jpg - i.redd.it/fzv77yd60pkz.jpg - i.redd.it/hkqdvpwqz9cz.jpg If you want to learn more watch this videos - ua-cam.com/video/dpbWBwf7c54/v-deo.html - asiasociety.org/video/philippine-gold-curator-talk-complete It was obvious why the Spanish colonized the archipelago.
Not only that Queen of Manila, watch thegodculture.com and they reveal that philippines is the jewel of the world. Or the garden of Eden. They reveal that the spanish and other countries refer to our country as OPHIR from the bible.
im filipino also but this comment section is full of toxic filipinos. This guy just happens to be chinese, dont be racist pigs. No wonder we never grow.
Thanks for helping make Philippine history accessible to the general public. I wrote down some names and things to begin my search for more history on my mother’s country!
prbly napped on other lessons yeah. but the lesson in hs about our own history was super short and starts at the Spanish occupation then focused on the revolution against Spain America, Japan and Marcos. Not the Malays and Indos migrating and founding the Panay Island and what's to be known at the Philippines. its messed up tbh.
@@ariallaguing6524 then it depends on the school on which you go to, not school as a general subject. In my school, they taught us about the malays, the indians, the chinese, even how the government worked before the spanish came. You mustve been in a public school
I’m Filipino and I’m adopted so I really enjoyed learning about my cultural roots. I always wondered what Philippines was like before Spanish rule. It’s sad to see the native identities almost got nearly wiped out. I’m happy to see that there are people keeping the native beliefs and customs alive.
@@General_Slayer You can't kill an IDEA coz it's not something you see, its something you feel, unlike things you can sense through your physical equipment. Yes, for me religion is a product of idealism such as politics, government, Law and more. But like FABLES...no matter how unrealistic, regardless of how bad or good, they were something laid open for everyone to think about whether they'll believe it or not, they'll like it or not. They exist but you can disregard or forget them, but they will always be remembered. HUMANITY IS THE ONLY THING THAT IS NOT FOREVER. YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW YOUR ROOTS. NOT EVEN THEIR NAMES.
The Philippines doesnt have an identity before the spanish arrived , it was a multiple states of different ethnicities. The colonizer, unite the archipelago to become one . viola!! And thats The Philippines
რεσω რεσω You are not a Pilipino indeed. No central government? Maybe yes, because we are sharing the gift of nature evenly. But to say we have no identity, wow! You must research the life of Pilipino before Spanish occupation through the Chronicle of Antonio Pegafetta and or The Boxer’s Codex. You will envy who we were. As Merchants of gold and silver, we once have the biggest ships that sails the seas near and far, southeast Asia, India, Shri Lanka, China, Japan, Micronesia and as far as Hawaii. Even Greeks reached our lands trading gold and silver. Spaniards knew that this Islands is Ophir (Source of Solomon’s Gold), they tried to occupy our Islands and erased all documents and and kept our history secret so no other foreigners would ever attempt to contest them in owning the wealth of our lands. Also also look for the Philippine Gold: The Forgotten Kingdom, and you will have an idea of how were the lives of our forefathers and how known they are in the region. These are the only few info of so many.
Awesome video! BUT: The Spanish were able to gain control of the coastal areas of the northern and central islands, but not the southern islands, where Islam was deeply rooted, and the jungle interior and highlands, where indigenous tribes, including headhunters, were able to repel Spanish incursions.
Because the Spanish were focused on more important matters than taking even more jungles and islands which they already had in abundance the world over during the glory days.
Some parts of the Philippines aren't occupied by the Spaniards by 1700's-1800's. It took a lot of time to colonize the whole of the Philippines. The Spanish did eventually establish a presence in Mindanao by 1800's though.
The Spaniards never gained any foothold deep and/or had never established any major control here in what is now the Cordilleras despite their strong military due to stiff and stubborn resistance by the Igorots
The history of my motherland has gotten its 8 minutes of screen time, many thanks. I’m a proud American from a family of first-generation Filipino immigrants, and you could say that I’ve been assimilated into American culture from a young age - but I’ve always been taught to never forget my roots. Again, thanks for the video.
I am glad you liked it :) I am a from a family of first-generation Americans as well(different places), and I agree it is important to understand where we came from
Kit Marcos Hello! I hope you are not triggered by this ignorant man who reads articles instead of history, justifiying Marcos is a tyrant is simply unprofessional.
@@strawberryshortcake_1994 arent Tagalogs(taga ilog, "from the river"), pampamgans, ilocano, ifugao are the more dominant enthnic groups in Luzon while Bisayans and cebuano and others were more dominant around the middle parts of philippines? I dont know much about the more bisayan area as i'm from Sangley Point cavite
Magellan: tries to colonize Philippines, and make it more modern, in change of westernization Other Chieftains: ok Lapu-Lapu: *so then I started whacking*
well the problem is lapu lapu wasnt really seen in the scene during the battle, due to that hes 70 at that time and hes a chief so he may have watched the battle from a distance.
@@13Riflez i just dont get why they have to colonize us like i know its to modernize us or something but we were doing a lot better before they came here, i mean we could care less about christianity ://
I was surprised that a Philippine girl could understand me talking in Spanish! I was soo confused and she told me about the Spanish rule in the Philippines! I didn't know the Spanish went that far! Wow
Thank you for emphasizing the Pre-colonial history of the country. It's sad a lot of Filipinos don't know the Pre-colonial history of the country mainky due to the great influence by the colonizers destroying the rich history the country had.
I am Anonymous its not new, spaniards also destoyed their history they see as non-catholics, like moorish era, visigoth era, greek era, carthaginian era, etc etc.
Dont reject the colonial history. Both pre spanish and colonial is what we are today. If you want the old ways ,Live and stay ike the old ways namely sultanate lifestyle in mindanao like marawi,tawitawi,sultan kudarat. Those are precolonial philippine life.
Yeah classes are like, "The Spaniards and Americans conquered us therefore we must ABSOLUTELY hate them. Nevermind all the good things they did do for us."
Visayas Region in the Philippines is named after the Srivijayas Empire. This is where Most of the Srivijayas Malay settled. Bruneian Malay settled in Luzon specially Tondo and Maynila. And in Sulu Archipelago in Mindanao, because at that time the Sultanate of Sulu is a Vassal of Bruneian Empire
See!!! Now Ive learned more about pre-colonial philippines thanks to you and not to my country’s crappy high school education. They never taught us about things like the Sa Huynh culture...something is very wrong
Lorenzo Fajardo yes it is interesting that filipino history is buried deep by spaniards, even filipino today doesn’t know very much about their history. ‘Datu’ surely is malay title, while ‘raja’ is from india, but widely used in SEA equal to ‘king’, and laguna copperplata mention ‘medang’, a kingdom in java who build great borobudur temple. I guess spaniards had some insecurity themselves and different than dutch, british and french colonizer. Spaniards even cover up that north african muslims ruled their land for centuries.
Suci Retnowati youre right and the spaniards were very zealous and aggressive people maybe because one big factor is their history of muslim occupation which they fought against violently. So people get traits from their history after all
The only thing I can remember taught to me was the Datus and such. And unfortunately enough, the Datu that I can remember on the top of my head is Datu Puti...
the filipino history curriculum only serves the essentials of filipino history that all filipinos should learn about. you need not learn the specificalities of each and every historical detail. if you were extra curious about it, you could just take a history course and major there or research it as a hobby on your own. we do not have a very detailed specific study of the prehispanic histories of the country and the new things you hear about the old prehispanic states are also just recently discovered in the past decades or doesnt have enough substance yet. something our curriculum has not updated yet or has seen no need to disseminate mandatorily to every philippine school as of yet since its not essential and not as perfectly understood yet.
Thanks for pointing out that the archipelago has always been a multiethnic hub for maritime trade and migration across Southeast Asia with Vedic/Hindu, Islamic, Buddhist and Confucian influences layered in as a result. Lots of Filipino fables and epic poetry are adapted from Hindu mythology. Another thing I'd point out is that the People Power revolution that ousted Marcos influenced the democratic movements in Taiwan and South Korea as well as Tiananmen and the various "color" revolutions as the biggest working example at the time of a nonviolent revolution based around mass demonstration and organized labor strikes.
KuGiCa Imp - Kindly exclude me from your stereotypes... By the way ancient natives worshipped Bathala, it's a word of Hindu origin for (Supreme God) / Abba on the other hand was a word of Aramaic origin for (Heavenly Father).
+KuGiCa Imp excuse me.. we are Ophirians.... ua-cam.com/video/u4xQlVOmRkg/v-deo.html And Pilipino is different from Filipino... and the meaning of Pilipinas is different from Philippines..
KuGiCa Imp Call me an idiot by replying to another idiot but, I love my country. I'm proud to be a filipino. So in defense, Filipinoes are "katulongs" because they chose to do that job. I don't even know why you pointed that out, It's a job they chose. About the roman chatolic thing, another stupid thing you brought up. Of course we can't be roman chatolics if the spaniards didn't come. Where/How else are we supposed to gain that knowledge? The ocean? Spanish did a lot of bad things. Including the so called prayles. But When someone is raped and they enjoyed it. it's not fucking rape. No one wants to be raped for fuck's sake. I know that our ancestors did not want to be roman chatolics. But, remember that they were forced to be atught and to be believed by everyone. If not, they will be punished. So what are weak women and children supposed to do? fight? So instead of dying they chose to live. You can't even write/say something bad about those spaniards without getting killed. But, tradition is tradition. What our ancestors did is what we'll do. So if a lot of people believed in roman chatolic back then, so will the generation after that, and the generation after that. Everything you said is blatantly stupid. I'm surprised you can read and write.
Filipinos are naturally very hardworking and willing to take any job although the problem could be is that they have no selfworth anymore but they're just not as finicky as other people. Also, because the pay in here is not as high in other countries more people tend to seek greener pastures and work abroad, building other nations while their own country lacked the best professionals cause they're elsewhere making other countries more successful. People remained Catholic because of the teachings and their own choice. With the long colonization there is still a struggle to find their own identity. While not all the natives embraced Catholicism there were many who did even the Rajas themselves were the ones who embraced it. Go research on how Catholicism spread and started in Cebu. The reason why "Maharlika" was not used was because while it has a noble meaning in the Filipino language it was said that it has a negative meaning in another country. Actually, Marcos Era was focused on uplifting the dignity of Filipinos. Buying used clothes was imported from other country was strictly banned (Bawal ang ukay-ukay) I believe being a katulong abroad was also banned. Imelda has great regard for the arts. Iconic structures were built because they dreamt of a world-class country(hence, the extravagance). But all that was remembered of the Marcos regime was martial law and the abuses that followed, (and the debts because most projects were abandoned and even destroyed) :/ And now, they have an unplanned, chaotic country 'cause of the lack of respect in professions. They've lost their esteem and forgot to build their identity and rather work for other people than make a name of their own. All they could do now was blame everything to the one who sits in the highest position.
Hi fellow filipinos! We only have 5 vowels: A-E- I- O -U and they have more than 14 vowels. I think It's not their fault if they pronounce BARANGAY wrong.
If you have time to visit the Philippines try to search the history because Philippines is not just have a delicious food, beautiful place and so on. But have a beautiful history to share and have alot of tribes. Our ancestors are Malays and Negritos before Spanish, American, Japanese came.
@@Jean-dr1lo i saw a ancestery dna profile of phillipines, the pacific islanders ancestors come from phillipines. You can see clearly on islands in phillipines very dark skin and black afro hair. Thats not asian. Phillipines is a mixture.
I like your videos because they are simple, they have good animations and you explore the different groups and kingdoms of each zone you analyze. Plus, you explore some cultural aspects, and THAT is what interests me! I'd really love it if you'd explore those more in depth! I think your video format would be perfect for that.
The part where you left out the Philippine-American War in the actual video and only placed it in the comments after-the-fact really does a huge disservice to Filipino history and our struggles. If you're going to antagonize the Spanish, Japanese, AND a Filipino president, at least include the brutality of the Americans! That war is a HUGE part of our history. I'm a bit disappointed tbh...
Epimetheus Haha....you're not alone bro. I just got home from a grandparent springshow of my kid and they sang our local song "Leron, leron sinta." Just imagine these American kids including mine sing a Tagalog song.
Did not notice that....But the barang-"gay" misprounciation is annoying. He should have just described it as "close independent communities" ruled by elders. That term was not even invented until the 1970s during the "Bagong Lipunan" of Marcos. It was derived from the word "balangay" which was the boat the settlers used to established communities along the islands. In the Spanish era they were termed as "barrios" until the 1970s.
KuGiCa Imp, my friend, I agree with you the late President Ferdinand E. Marcos senior is the best president in the Philippines becoming "Maharlika" tiger of economy in Asia second to Japan in his regime. imagine the equivalent of one dollar US was two pesos and he invested golds in the US Federal/Federal reserve lock for 50 years I believe it will mature in the year 2025 and also invested in Swiss banks for the benefit of the Filipino people. in his regime Maharlika was exporting rice, now we are importing rice. Meralco and Mwss was government owed and every year people receives surplus money given to the consumers, now privatized by the cronies of Aquino and even oil and gas pricing was controlled by the Energy regulatory board but deregulated by Ramos in favor to the big companies Shell, Petron and caltex. now the government is bankrupt by the greedy 5 presidents. today President Duterte is trying his best to stop corruption bringing back the plans of Marcos senior one is the free water irrigation and prioritizing the agriculture sector and education which the past 5 Presidents neglected.

Well this was a surprise, guess I'm so used to not many people talking about the Philippines that I assumed it would have been a vid way down the line. But thanks Epi for shattering expectations yet again and covering such a diverse group of people who need more love!
Vikash Verma We didn't forget, we just don't find it relevant in helping the country today. We aren't in a place where we can reminisce the good ol days of isolated kingdoms, we need international support and community if we want to improve the current state of life for those living in our homeland. It's why Filipinos are one of the largest diasporas in the world, being Christian and having Spanish/English dialects makes it easier to bond with the American countries, while still sharing some culture ques that tie us with the rest of Asia. If there's one good thing that came out of our colonial past, it's the unique identity Filipinos now have compared to our immediate neighbors. We can take pride in that, that we are a fluid melting pot of East and West, that we are people of not just islands but all over the world.
Vikash Verma I'm sorry but I don't go around telling other people of different cultures who or what they should be. Our history is our own, our identity is something that's been touched by millions of variables and we're definitely not all cut from the same cloth. If you can't accept that, then you sound like the very colonizers who told us exactly what to be.
Vikash Verma 😆😆😆 I don't what to say Mr. Verma but I do want to be vegetarian now. I hate it before because my dad wants us to eat vegetables you know you just grow them in your yard....it's good if he put some spices in it but he just throw them in the pot, Put water and salt and that's eat. Forgive me but my dad just passed away couple of years ago, he was a retired teacher but so strict like a military and still follow what his ancestors told him to respect those trees we pass by the streets. Now I hand it down to my kids...not to kill the darn spider dropping from the wall in our doorway.
Had some Filipino friends, they literally don't know anything before the arrival of the Spanish. I just tell'em your ancestors must have some greatness since the maritime silk road passes their country. There MUST be AT LEAST 1 trade kingdom in the Philippines that they just don't know about. Based on this vid, apparently they had several. Be proud, the Pinoys/nays. Be proud.
I may be Filipino but I do not have this "Pinoy pride". Though we may have unique culture, I feel there are other countries better than this country and I wish this country would be as prosperous as Singapore, New Zealand, Australia and Hong Kong. We need to let go what's holding us back to be progressive (such as learning the lessons from the infamous Marcos regime yet we need to stop being haunted by it), we need to be more education and we should cast aside this "soap opera mindset" as it only stagnates in progress. We need to be better than what we are now, to be honest with you.
I understood as one of a Japanese who got married w Pilipina. We co-working situation of both of us better. We feel very happy to know the Philippines growth at these days. Actually, our nieces working as a manager of foreign enterprise and Airlines CA.
We might need a Cultural Revolution We Wipe the Crab Mentality,Soap Opera and Carefree Mentality/Mindset we need to Promote and Encourage Learning and Family Values
To Mr. Epimetheus, as U know, Pinoy had called "little American or 51th. States of USA" In other hands, we Japanese must admit what they have done before that I apologize for all Filipino. But the US has no right to pointed out the matter, coz it's the matter RP & Japan. before you say so, Please answer my question about Viet-num war? WE need fair talk in front of ALL Philipino.
白石欣 Eh you guys must Move on from that Event im sure you have learned your lesson i guess,Just dont Be like Germany they keep on Apologizing about their past and cause of that they are having a slow progress
KuGiCa Imp 1. "Philippines is still owned by Spain" No it isn't, Philippines is an independent country. 2. "Filipinos are still slaves of the Spanish people" Lol no, slavery has been abolished 3. "Philip II still owns them like he owns his dogs" He's dead, long time ago. He owns nothing. 4. "Filipinos hate their rich pre colonial history" No Filipinos hate anything, Filipinos doesn't just belong to one culture group but to many which may or may not be mixed or influenced. Also there's statues of precolonial warriors in the Philippines. And a precolonial native Lapu Lapu is a national hero. So you saying "Filipinos hate......" doesn't really add up to it. 5. Yes we were "forced" to be catholic but not everyone. Some early Filipinos converted voluntarily. And keep in mind there are no perfect empires. 6. We are still Catholics because we choose to be Catholics. 7. There's a lot to be proud of. Every country has its problems. 8. We don't need to conquer to prove we are strong. 9. Idk about you but I'm being respected, so are my family and friends. Maybe it's just you and how you interact with foreigners, you uneducated fuck 10. Katulongs become katulongs because they simply lack the money and education to become something else. 11. And changing the name to Maharlikha? lol don't even Let me tell you something friend, no empire is perfect. I won't deny that we were handled poorly but we should be thankful because otherwise, without them we wouldn't be united. And also I read an article that in that era, the officials back in Spain wasn't neglecting the Philippines, they knew what was going on and they even sent laws and decrees to make the spaniards in the Philippines less strict and cruel. But Spain can't really do anything else because for one, they're too far. Second, they've been involved in a lot of wars, so handling the Philippines by themselves were already a challenge. Idk what you're on about but if you really think that way, why not do something about it? you keep talking about it yet you waste your precious time and mine for this? prove me wrong when you become president
to those clueless like i am making a reviewer, to save your time from searching (and yes i used the subs so im confused): Free vijaya = Srivijaya Mail a = Malay (i guess) Melees = Malays Bora/Boro Raids = Moro Raids Al Caputo = Acapulco silver, mined air, and potosi = silver mined and potosi (yes, i just put that in my notes like that)

Thank you kindly for making this video Epimetheus!! Just found your channel today! And mad respect to you for keeping track of all the different tribes too! Just wished you expanded a tad bit more onto the waves of Filipino-Chinese immigration to the Philippines though. The history and contribution of the Filipino-Chinese is crucial and pivotal especially from 1800 onwards.
Ar-KI-pe-luh-go. Evertime he says Barang-gei - was like nails on a chalkboard. Also he left out the earlier migrations of mountain tribes folk from Taiwan.
and what would this country be then? its just a collection of smaller short lived kingdoms... those that fought in the revolution against spain we're only a minority aswell, maharlika is exclusive to the tagalog ethnic group and infact they did plan on just calling the territory they liberated "tagalog republic" you can look it up. but what would that accomplish tho.it'll only just cause continuation of the minor state wars before the spanish came. war after war after war! can't blame them for choosing to be pragmatic. honestly your probably just a misinformed troll but since i feel some gratification responding to stupidity with actual facts i figured wth i''ll bite just this one time
kel mateo ♥♥♥STUPID KEL MATEO! ALL THE ACTUAL FACTS THAT YOU MENTIONED ARE NOTHING BUT EASILY RESEARCHABLE DATA OF VARIOUS HISTORICAL VERSIONS OF THAT COUNTRY. I AM COMPLETELY AWARE OF ALL OF THEM. EVERYTHING THAT YOU MENTIONED ARE COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT TO THE TOPIC AT HAND. YOUR STUPIDITY FORGETS THE FACT THAT ALL LANDS AND NATIONS ON EARTH HAD WARRING CLANS, KINGDOMS, TRIBES AND STATES WITHIN THEM LIKE THAT OF CHINA, JAPAN AND KOREA. UNLIKE THE PHILIP'S PINES, ALL OF THOSE COUNTRIES WERE ABLE TO COMPLETELY PRESERVE, PROTECT AND PROMOTE THEIR ORIGINAL CULTURE, HERITAGE AND LEGACY FOR THE WHOLE WORLD TO SEE AND ADMIRE. LOOK AT HOW PROGRESSIVE AND POWERFUL THOSE COUNTRIES ARE NOW. THERE IS NO DENYING IT. YOU JUST MADE A FOOL OF YOURSELF. HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!♥♥♥
What makes you say the Philippines hasnt preserved thier heritage? the Philippines still has 100+ fucking languages most are of Austronesian and Malay origin each ethnic group still has its own unique cuisine. so you obviously have no idea or don't really know anything about the country you have a point that some nations had internal warring states periods but did they face several foreign imperial forces at that point in their countries development? the Philippines had battles against Spain since the 1565 the Philippine revolution started at 1896 Philippine-American War 1899 Japanese Occupation at 1942 only finally achieving independence at 1945! a long list of wars against foreign imperial powers. War after war after war.i doubt any other country would've survived but the philippines did. What do you want to happen have the Philippines be plunged in civil wars fighting like feudal warlords and barbarians for 100 more years? while most of the world are progressing? different countries face different challenges pretty stupid to compare another country to another. Japan have no natural resources pretty much why western colonizers left them alone, China is naturally resource rich. Don't be a fool even if this war of unification did happen theres a 0% chance it would succeed since foreign capitalists would just take advantage of it siphon even more resources from this country much like the wars in the middle east. That kind of thinking is outdated foolish and dangerous.

KuGiCa Imp I agree but I am also referring to the time when our ancestors worshipped water, wind, ocean, forest or purely the Mother Nature. Remember when they called for Bathala, Dumagan, Apolaki, Mayari and etc. It was like the equivalent of Greek or Roman mythology.
Great vid! Just wanted to also add that there were already Austronesians before the Malays coexisting with the Melanesians that came to the islands first. The Melanesians whom we call "Negrito" or "Agta" are theorized to have come to the Philippines via land bridges that connected the islands to the mainland. After these bridges sank into the sea, the first wave of seafaring Austronesians arrived through Taiwan and lived alongside and intermingled with the Agta.
Surprised that this wasn’t mentioned at all, considering this is the expansion which brought Austronesian languages and culture to the islands, not the various small scale back migrations from the Malay archipelago
One should clarify that the Spanish Empire did not lead to the disappearance of local dialects and scripts: translating Castilian even into local tongues. Also Castilian became mandatory only for the upper class members of society. The disappearance of languages and dialects started with the US invasion.
Yeah. But for us bisaya, though we know the term of a a particular thing in bisaya, but still we use the spanish term because its easier to pronounce. Only the news uses straight bisaya, but our daily conversations contains a lot of spanish loan words.
No, it was in spanish. What he talks about the alphabet or script. Some other dialects got disappear too in some areas. That's what our teacher said too.
antonio pigafetta led me here, i've seen his diary online, i'm from Butuan City and i'm so amazed on the language they learned and even the places and islands were saying on his diary were true, i've been on some places he mentioned on their journey
Maraming galit kay Alejano nuon kase gusto niya baguhin ang pangalan ng Pilipinas. Miski si virgilio almario sinuggest na instead of Philippines gawin na lang Filipinas ang pangalan ng bansa natin. sa tingin ko ito ang pangunahing suliranin ng ating bansa ang hindi pagkilala at kawalan ng pagkakakilala sa sariling kultura at kasaysayan natin bilang mga Filipino. nuong kasagsagan nung issue kay Alejano naisip kong ang mga taong galit na galit sa panukala niya nuon ay ang mga Pilipinong walang pagmamahal sa sarali nating kasaysayan. hanggang ngayon bulag tayo sa sarili nating kasaysayan. Napaka liit ng impormasyon sa pre-colonial Philippines at sa katunayan ni hindi natin alam ang pangalan ng bansa natin bago dumating ang mga Kastila dito. Tinuruan tayo na mga negritos indones at malay ang mga unang nanirahan sa Pilipinas pero may mga ebidensya na halos magkakalapit ang ninuno ng prehistoric japan (ainu) sa mga ninuno ng mga taga south east asia. Nuong bata ako gusto ko maging historian. hanggang ngayon hindi nawawala ang interes ko sa kasaysayan kahit psychology major na ako
Daniel Louis Camaquin Ang "Philippines" ay ang Iningles lamang mula sa Filipinas/Pilipinas kaya bakit pa kailangang baguhin eh iisa lamang ang kahulugan nito.
Daniel Louis Camaquin Isa pa, hindi natin alam ang pangalan ng bansa bago dumating ang mga Kastila dahil WALA naman talaga. Huwag mong masyadong paniwalaan 'yung sinasabing "Maharlika" ng mga Tallano. Ang Pilipinas ay maraming iba't ibang kalinangan at kabihasnan ang umusbong at nakapaloob sa kapuluan kaya hindi maaaring maging isang bansa ang Pilipinas noong pre-kolonyal na kasaysayan nito. Makikita na sa bidyo ang mga sinasabi ko.
Our culture is a big reflection of our great and complex history. It is influenced by most of the people we have interacted with. A blend of the Malay south East Asian with the influence from Chinese, Hispanic Indians Arabs, and other Asian cultures really contribute to the customs and traditions of the Filipinos. The philippine culture was never wiped out like Latin America. Much of the Philippine archipelago still speak their native languages that are Austronesian as well as cuisine which is dominantly Asian. Ethnically, the majority of Filipinos are Austronesian with Chinese fusions.
Thanks for covering the Philippines 👍. But you didn’t mention how the British Empire lease and continuously leasing Sabah from Sulu. Early Filipinos are skilled goldsmith. Philippines is truly the Land of Gold. Even the slaves have their golds passed by their relatives. You can see how lavish the golds in the Boxer Codex. Also, Barangay pronounced as Ba-rang-guy 👍
007thematrix007 I’ve typed it all in less than a minute. I’m so sure it will not take more than 30secs to mention the leasing. Not asking for detailed version. Lol
I wish this was explained to us when I was still in grade school. Back when I was little, Philippine history started with Magellan trying to conquer us. I graduated high school not knowing anything about what happened before that.
I like the overview that you provide of the pre-Hispanic centuries. Please revise to correct the spelling of “circa”. Other than some inaccurate pronunciation, this was an easy-to-follow presentation, thank you!
Ah OK I can see it now. I guess that would be more valid for British English speakers the and Mah-lay, or Muh-lay, would be more valid for American English speakers.
Somalia and the congo have RPG rocket launchers but they still even in 2020s aren't fully civil. It has to do with what a nation can do with it's power. Don't feel shame as a Pinoy, the Romans called Germans barbarian but look who is winning today. Maybe Philippines will outlast Spain, who knows
Thank you for all the great comments :)
Corrections:
I Did not mention the Philippine-American War (1899-1902). This took place during the United States Military Government of the Philippine Islands 1898-1902 at 6:45 into the video.
The Philippine-American War was an armed conflict between the First Philippine Republic and the United States. I should have included this.
I pronounced several words wrong including Barangays, ifugao, and archipelago :(

Great video regardless
Epimetheus did you watch Solomon Gold by God Culture?, About ancients history of Philippines before Spanish come to Philippines. Ancients name of Philippines was Ophir but Spanish change it to Philippines.
The British Manila part blew my mind! Never knew that took place. Or did I miss any class when they teach this.
Thank you for this video because a lot of people both foreign and local think the natives were civilized only when the Spanish colonized us... it's sad.

It was obvious why the Spanish colonized the archipelago.
The biggest misconception about my country is as if we started our history when spaniards arrived in 1521.
Before Spaniards arrived your country as such did not exist, but a bunch of divided islands and tribes. The name of your country is the name of the Spanish king at that time. USA and its allies in Europe have been working hard to undermine Spain. You were a province in Spain, not a colony. Anglo Saxon culture is a criminal one along with Dutch.
@@acaymo76 Listen up Spaniard, your ancestors destroyed literally all of the cultural assets in the ancient Philippines, that's why it seems there's nothing. Just think, they had technology to extract and process gold to make jewelries and HAD their own writing system too, that tells a lot in historical perspective
@@Edhilues The Phillipines before colonialism wasn't united though? It being an archapelago made it so that a lot of groups had their own culture which is still visible today. The fact we have over a hundred official languages is proof of this. We never forgot our original languages from before colonialism. The Phillipines before colonialism was more like multiple different countries/groups/tribes made up of immigrants from multiple different ethnicities and neighboring countries

@SUBSCRIBE ME I'LL SUBSCRIBE YOU BACK we dont deny being a malay but many people forget that we are a mix breed go Chinese, Mexicans, Spaniards and Pacific islanders. I for one gets mistaken as a half breed when 1/4 of my blood is chinese ,1/4 Hispanic and the rest is Malay. I live in Visayas and there are alot of wealthy Visayans that are from Spanish descent and well the poor are from malayan thats why they go to Manila to find work. Its easily recoginizable when youre from here.
eeey couz!
Not that they wanted to become Latinos or Latinas, they are the Spanish Filipinos and Spanish descends result of intermarriage of their ancestors with the Spaniards. I've read about Filipino Spanish and Spanish descends in Wikipedia Encyclopedia also the Austronesian.
See im an igorot and 4ever be proud. proud that we are warriors with heart and soul we love our lands and locked it down for years we protect our children culture and lands. northern luzon will always be feared because of our fierce love to our lands. People criticize us because of our "wanes"(tailed costume) but no. it just shows that we preserve our culture and 4ever be passed generation by generation.
Protected for so many years against the Spanish and their corrupt church that raped and stole from the country. All that until the americans came and taught you about country music, line dancing and brought missionaries to the highlands.
I'm glad they are able to preserve their culture, but what about their beliefs?
I'm a Kapampangan I'm proud to becomr a Maya bang HAHAHHAHAH
I respect and admire the Igorots very much. I know how you value your culture and have successfully protected it. I also admire the good traits of the Igorots such as being hardworking, thrifty and serious when it comes to work. I hope all Filipinos will become like that.
Agree. Proud to be Igorot here 💪
Raja - Datu - Bayan. Quite similar to Lombok, Indonesia. We also call our parent quite the same. Ina (mother in the Philippines) = Ina' (Mother in Lombok, Indonesia). Ama (Father in the Philippines) = Ama' (Father in Lombok, Indonesia). There are also many other similar words.
Javanese amma 🇵🇰🇮🇳 this means emak and Father (bappu) is bapak all change to used sanskrit. Maybe Ina and Ama original Austronesia language. 😁😁
I'm (Malay, Indones, Aborigin, Spanish, Mezo-American) Filipino ;)

@@nepop1485 the Caucasian blood entered the Philippines was only yesterday. So sad, you didn't learn the pre-colonial history of your ancestors
Native Filipino is Hindu,Malay and Ita blood..
My father’s family were the Cheiftains of Ifugao, the Igorots of this area. (I say this bc many people I’ve encountered are embarrassed or down play their Igorot lineage.) My mom’s maternal grandfather was the great Datu of modern day Benguet (Igorot Area). After the US politically organized the mountains of Luzon, the US appointed him as mayor of Kapangan (which drastically shrunk his fiefdom). When you visit the courthouse of Kapangan you will see, Fianza’s name in the list of chiefs and mayors. For some clarification, the US gave large portions of Igorot lands of modern day Baguio and Benguet to several rich and politically savvy Ilocanos. That is why igorots have not historically been mayors of Baguio or have been at the high end of business leaders. Basically, we were cut out of the democratization of our lands.
Let me add a thanks and this. You had many correct and long forgot facts. Among them were the gold anklets. My dad’s dad told me of these ornaments. Men of high ranking in Ifugao would wear them. In fact, the more worn, then the more prestige. Also the louder they became while walking. This sound of several anklets clanging was the sound of a member of Ifugao high society-besides having certain facial tattoos but that’s another story...
Diego Fianza you're very lucky to trace your ancestry. But some of us Pinoys don't even know where in the hell we originated.
Wayne Winter True dat, I’m bless for that info. In 1960s, my dad’s brother found several elder tribesmen who still knew the oral lineage. My uncle had them written down on the side of the communal hut in Ifugao. So on my paternal side, I can count 10 generations.
My mom (nanay) and my grandma (lola) once told me that I'm the great-great-grand-nephew of Jose Rizal. Should I believe them?
Kabsat. My wife has igorot blood and im happy you know who you are and from whence u came. Can i suggest that your Grandfatherd were probably not called datus but lakay or lakan. 😉
Also ilocanos seem to be racially more similar to igorots and it seems to me that they were simple lowland igorot who were force christianized by spain.
It seems apparent that the kingdoms of kaigorotan and katagalugan (which was the kingdom of tondo and included kapampangans and bicolanos) were the greater kingdoms whih existed in luzon in oldened days(funily kapampangan seems to mean from the banks of the river and tagalog actually came from taga ilog from the river)
Im happy you know you truly come from these lands. I sadly cannot as most of my ancestors were the insular spaniards and their bastards the "mesrizos". We were in a sense the primal Filipinos as i believe that the Filipino identity is a synthetic, colonial identity. Most of my people were the latest and most virulant immigrants to these lands.
The original inhibitants however... the austronesians and the malays and the others were classed differently but they should not be ashamed of who they are and that they should stand proud that they are not originally filipino.
I dont agree with the filipino identity honestly but if it flourishes further and not destroy itself. I pray it well.
As for me and my wife. We are joining a different people soon
Barangay = Village
Bayan = Nation
Datu = Chieftain
Rajah = King
@Matthew Tenorio_3200654 True, there were Datu whom had enough wealth/influence to be treated like a Rajah, but still held the title of Datu. To the point that there are cases where the titles "Datu" and "Rajah" are interchanged. Take for example Datu Sumakwei or Later on Datu Puti, they were the respective leaders of the 10 Datus of Madjaas during their individual reigns. They were Datu but we treated like Kings at the time.

You are not a Pilipino indeed. No central government? Maybe yes, because we are sharing the gift of nature evenly. But to say we have no identity, wow! You must research the life of Pilipino before Spanish occupation through the Chronicle of Antonio Pegafetta and or The Boxer’s Codex. You will envy who we were. As Merchants of gold and silver, we once have the biggest ships that sails the seas near and far, southeast Asia, India, Shri Lanka, China, Japan, Micronesia and as far as Hawaii. Even Greeks reached our lands trading gold and silver. Spaniards knew that this Islands is Ophir (Source of Solomon’s Gold), they tried to occupy our Islands and erased all documents and and kept our history secret so no other foreigners would ever attempt to contest them in owning the wealth of our lands.
Also also look for the Philippine Gold: The Forgotten Kingdom, and you will have an idea of how were the lives of our forefathers and how known they are in the region. These are the only few info of so many.
Awesome video! BUT:
The Spanish were able to gain control of the coastal areas of the northern and central islands, but not the southern islands, where Islam was deeply rooted, and the jungle interior and highlands, where indigenous tribes, including headhunters, were able to repel Spanish incursions.
Because the Spanish were focused on more important matters than taking even more jungles and islands which they already had in abundance the world over during the glory days.
Some parts of the Philippines aren't occupied by the Spaniards by 1700's-1800's. It took a lot of time to colonize the whole of the Philippines. The Spanish did eventually establish a presence in Mindanao by 1800's though.
The Spaniards never gained any foothold deep and/or had never established any major control here in what is now the Cordilleras despite their strong military due to stiff and stubborn resistance by the Igorots

Thank you for doing a video about the Philippines and south east asia the region is ignored by many history channels
Thank you for emphasizing the Pre-colonial history of the country. It's sad a lot of Filipinos don't know the Pre-colonial history of the country mainky due to the great influence by the colonizers destroying the rich history the country had.
I am Anonymous its not new, spaniards also destoyed their history they see as non-catholics, like moorish era, visigoth era, greek era, carthaginian era, etc etc.
Suci Retnowati it's sad brother. Destroying such rich history.
Probably because Philippine history classes teach more on hating the invaders instead of actual history.
Dont reject the colonial history. Both pre spanish and colonial is what we are today. If you want the old ways ,Live and stay ike the old ways namely sultanate lifestyle in mindanao like marawi,tawitawi,sultan kudarat. Those are precolonial philippine life.
Yeah classes are like, "The Spaniards and Americans conquered us therefore we must ABSOLUTELY hate them. Nevermind all the good things they did do for us."
Thank you for making this. I’ve learned more about my heritage in 8 minutes than I have the past 30 years.
Back then, Malay Biddhist Sriviayan empire had a lot of contact and influence on the Phillipine Archipelago.
Love the Phillipines, from Malaysia.
Truly. If Christianity and Islam did not come all of Southeast Asia would be Buddhist or Hindu today.
Visayas Region in the Philippines is named after the Srivijayas Empire. This is where Most of the Srivijayas Malay settled. Bruneian Malay settled in Luzon specially Tondo and Maynila. And in Sulu Archipelago in Mindanao, because at that time the Sultanate of Sulu is a Vassal of Bruneian Empire
I love and am fascinated by the Philippines! Sending love from Britain!
@@k-studio8112Your comment is very cringy
Britain has done more for Philippines than fucking China has so go to China and see how many Filipino are living there, not many.
Imagine if the British colonized Philippines, I wonder what it would be called today.
Good luck! Its a deep hole
Send hates from Philippines
I love the map of the Philippines there's something special, every time I see the map always give me a goosebumps 😍😍
bec our land is Land of Ophir, Garden of Adam and Ev located somewhere in this land..
i love you
Also it's looks like 🐈
Seems different from other countries, it has figure
All of you didn't get what her mean. My country had a dick and balls.. Look closely..
@@kokoeeee huh? What do you mean?
That's why Filipinos were easy to adapt other nationality and very hospitable compare to other race because those islands occupied many nation.
See!!! Now Ive learned more about pre-colonial philippines thanks to you and not to my country’s crappy high school education. They never taught us about things like the Sa Huynh culture...something is very wrong
Lorenzo Fajardo yes it is interesting that filipino history is buried deep by spaniards, even filipino today doesn’t know very much about their history. ‘Datu’ surely is malay title, while ‘raja’ is from india, but widely used in SEA equal to ‘king’, and laguna copperplata mention ‘medang’, a kingdom in java who build great borobudur temple. I guess spaniards had some insecurity themselves and different than dutch, british and french colonizer. Spaniards even cover up that north african muslims ruled their land for centuries.
Suci Retnowati youre right and the spaniards were very zealous and aggressive people maybe because one big factor is their history of muslim occupation which they fought against violently. So people get traits from their history after all
The only thing I can remember taught to me was the Datus and such. And unfortunately enough, the Datu that I can remember on the top of my head is Datu Puti...
Its not that its crappy, its just that its not required. The Spanish era is already deep enough to be studied.
the filipino history curriculum only serves the essentials of filipino history that all filipinos should learn about. you need not learn the specificalities of each and every historical detail. if you were extra curious about it, you could just take a history course and major there or research it as a hobby on your own. we do not have a very detailed specific study of the prehispanic histories of the country and the new things you hear about the old prehispanic states are also just recently discovered in the past decades or doesnt have enough substance yet. something our curriculum has not updated yet or has seen no need to disseminate mandatorily to every philippine school as of yet since its not essential and not as perfectly understood yet.
Thanks for pointing out that the archipelago has always been a multiethnic hub for maritime trade and migration across Southeast Asia with Vedic/Hindu, Islamic, Buddhist and Confucian influences layered in as a result. Lots of Filipino fables and epic poetry are adapted from Hindu mythology.
Another thing I'd point out is that the People Power revolution that ousted Marcos influenced the democratic movements in Taiwan and South Korea as well as Tiananmen and the various "color" revolutions as the biggest working example at the time of a nonviolent revolution based around mass demonstration and organized labor strikes.
Man! Been watching your videos recently Never expected Philippines History will be included in your chnnel. More power to you!
Same sentiments.
I kept on requesting it.

FOR EIGHT MINUTES I LEARNED A LOT ABOUT THE HISTORY OF MY COUNTRY. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Thank you for covering my country’s history, which is often overlooked!
Never forget the ancestors.

even though you pronounced some words bad, You did an excellent job researching our country! I will definitely let my smaller brothers watch this.
Awesome! Thanks, glad you liked it :)
KuGiCa Imp Call me an idiot by replying to another idiot but, I love my country. I'm proud to be a filipino. So in defense,
Filipinoes are "katulongs" because they chose to do that job. I don't even know why you pointed that out, It's a job they chose.
About the roman chatolic thing, another stupid thing you brought up. Of course we can't be roman chatolics if the spaniards didn't come. Where/How else are we supposed to gain that knowledge? The ocean?
Spanish did a lot of bad things. Including the so called prayles. But When someone is raped and they enjoyed it. it's not fucking rape. No one wants to be raped for fuck's sake.
I know that our ancestors did not want to be roman chatolics. But, remember that they were forced to be atught and to be believed by everyone. If not, they will be punished. So what are weak women and children supposed to do? fight? So instead of dying they chose to live. You can't even write/say something bad about those spaniards without getting killed. But, tradition is tradition. What our ancestors did is what we'll do. So if a lot of people believed in roman chatolic back then, so will the generation after that, and the generation after that.
Everything you said is blatantly stupid. I'm surprised you can read and write.
Yeah... It's way more interesting than textbooks.
@@kugicaimp192 is a perfect example of a person that is "thought but not learned". Such a shame, you know way too much🤦♂️
Filipinos are naturally very hardworking and willing to take any job although the problem could be is that they have no selfworth anymore but they're just not as finicky as other people. Also, because the pay in here is not as high in other countries more people tend to seek greener pastures and work abroad, building other nations while their own country lacked the best professionals cause they're elsewhere making other countries more successful.
People remained Catholic because of the teachings and their own choice.
With the long colonization there is still a struggle to find their own identity.
While not all the natives embraced Catholicism there were many who did even the Rajas themselves were the ones who embraced it. Go research on how Catholicism spread and started in Cebu.
The reason why "Maharlika" was not used was because while it has a noble meaning in the Filipino language it was said that it has a negative meaning in another country.
Actually, Marcos Era was focused on uplifting the dignity of Filipinos. Buying used clothes was imported from other country was strictly banned (Bawal ang ukay-ukay) I believe being a katulong abroad was also banned. Imelda has great regard for the arts. Iconic structures were built because they dreamt of a world-class country(hence, the extravagance). But all that was remembered of the Marcos regime was martial law and the abuses that followed, (and the debts because most projects were abandoned and even destroyed) :/
And now, they have an unplanned, chaotic country 'cause of the lack of respect in professions. They've lost their esteem and forgot to build their identity and rather work for other people than make a name of their own. All they could do now was blame everything to the one who sits in the highest position.
Hi fellow filipinos! We only have 5 vowels: A-E- I- O -U and they have more than 14 vowels. I think It's not their fault if they pronounce BARANGAY wrong.
leninda rey lara
It’s fine actually. Just that he pronounced Barangay as “Ba-rang-Gei” as in Gay! This reminds me of that meme! 😂
We have 6 vowels in the IPA if we don't count the dipthongs. The schwa /ə/ is common in the Philippine languages.
@@mmyr8ado.360 In Bisaya there are only 3 vowels which is a, i, and u. The vowels e and o are foreign borrowings.
In ancient times we had only 3 A-I/E-U-O, that's why some Visayas and Kapampangans mispronounce O and E
If you have time to visit the Philippines try to search the history because Philippines is not just have a delicious food, beautiful place and so on. But have a beautiful history to share and have alot of tribes. Our ancestors are Malays and Negritos before Spanish, American, Japanese came.
Good luck! It gets super deep
Pacific islander, melanasian.
@@lukeArmstrong524 But we're not quite "pacific islanders" which most western people label us.
@@Jean-dr1lo i saw a ancestery dna profile of phillipines, the pacific islanders ancestors come from phillipines. You can see clearly on islands in phillipines very dark skin and black afro hair. Thats not asian. Phillipines is a mixture.
It's Austronesian, not malay, Malay is Austronesian origin with a such of Muslim tradition, while Filipino is Christian

Technically when you click on the video it lose a 1 second
I like your videos because they are simple, they have good animations and you explore the different groups and kingdoms of each zone you analyze. Plus, you explore some cultural aspects, and THAT is what interests me! I'd really love it if you'd explore those more in depth! I think your video format would be perfect for that.
Having long been mistook for Filipino, my recent DNA test has revealed an ancient strain of ancestry. Interesting historical tidbit, though.

Thank you for this video it was very helpful for my project about the history of Philippines.
The part where you left out the Philippine-American War in the actual video and only placed it in the comments after-the-fact really does a huge disservice to Filipino history and our struggles.
If you're going to antagonize the Spanish, Japanese, AND a Filipino president, at least include the brutality of the Americans! That war is a HUGE part of our history.
I'm a bit disappointed tbh...
Usecriticalthinking The Philippines had a war against America you twit, and they were pretty brutal

Am I the only one upset about his pronunciation of, "archipelago?"
Ever so slightly embarrassed ....was doing the arch instead of the ark...not sure why :)
More upset on his pronunciation of "barangay" ...not gay but /guy/
Epimetheus
Haha....you're not alone bro. I just got home from a grandparent springshow of my kid and they sang our local song "Leron, leron sinta." Just imagine these American kids including mine sing a Tagalog song.
Did not notice that....But the barang-"gay" misprounciation is annoying. He should have just described it as "close independent communities" ruled by elders. That term was not even invented until the 1970s during the "Bagong Lipunan" of Marcos. It was derived from the word "balangay" which was the boat the settlers used to established communities along the islands. In the Spanish era they were termed as "barrios" until the 1970s.
Whether the prefix "arch-" is pronounced arch or ark is subject to very esoteric "rules". That said archipelago is a common word...
The artwork for these videos is so good! Another great video :D
Thanks!
I am glad you like it :)
KuGiCa Imp, my friend, I agree with you the late President Ferdinand E. Marcos senior is the best president in the Philippines becoming "Maharlika" tiger of economy in Asia second to Japan in his regime. imagine the equivalent of one dollar US was two pesos and he invested golds in the US Federal/Federal reserve lock for 50 years I believe it will mature in the year 2025 and also invested in Swiss banks for the benefit of the Filipino people. in his regime Maharlika was exporting rice, now we are importing rice. Meralco and Mwss was government owed and every year people receives surplus money given to the consumers, now privatized by the cronies of Aquino and even oil and gas pricing was controlled by the Energy regulatory board but deregulated by Ramos in favor to the big companies Shell, Petron and caltex. now the government is bankrupt by the greedy 5 presidents. today President Duterte is trying his best to stop corruption bringing back the plans of Marcos senior one is the free water irrigation and prioritizing the agriculture sector and education which the past 5 Presidents neglected.

Vikash Verma We didn't forget, we just don't find it relevant in helping the country today. We aren't in a place where we can reminisce the good ol days of isolated kingdoms, we need international support and community if we want to improve the current state of life for those living in our homeland. It's why Filipinos are one of the largest diasporas in the world, being Christian and having Spanish/English dialects makes it easier to bond with the American countries, while still sharing some culture ques that tie us with the rest of Asia. If there's one good thing that came out of our colonial past, it's the unique identity Filipinos now have compared to our immediate neighbors. We can take pride in that, that we are a fluid melting pot of East and West, that we are people of not just islands but all over the world.
Vikash Verma I'm sorry but I don't go around telling other people of different cultures who or what they should be. Our history is our own, our identity is something that's been touched by millions of variables and we're definitely not all cut from the same cloth. If you can't accept that, then you sound like the very colonizers who told us exactly what to be.
Vikash Verma
And you worship cow...we eat them.
Vikash Verma
😆😆😆
I don't what to say Mr. Verma but I do want to be vegetarian now. I hate it before because my dad wants us to eat vegetables you know you just grow them in your yard....it's good if he put some spices in it but he just throw them in the pot, Put water and salt and that's eat. Forgive me but my dad just passed away couple of years ago, he was a retired teacher but so strict like a military and still follow what his ancestors told him to respect those trees we pass by the streets. Now I hand it down to my kids...not to kill the darn spider dropping from the wall in our doorway.
Also, there is another ancient site that Filipinos used to live in before the Spanish came. They were called Idjangs in Batanes.
As a filipino I never heard of that as well
Just type Idjangs in Google
They have fortresses. Mountain fortresses.
Spanish wasn’t all bad, it’s no different if lapu had the option of doing it
@@romyarmada9580 lol spanish Apologist 🤣
Had some Filipino friends, they literally don't know anything before the arrival of the Spanish. I just tell'em your ancestors must have some greatness since the maritime silk road passes their country. There MUST be AT LEAST 1 trade kingdom in the Philippines that they just don't know about. Based on this vid, apparently they had several.
Be proud, the Pinoys/nays. Be proud.

I may be Filipino but I do not have this "Pinoy pride". Though we may have unique culture, I feel there are other countries better than this country and I wish this country would be as prosperous as Singapore, New Zealand, Australia and Hong Kong. We need to let go what's holding us back to be progressive (such as learning the lessons from the infamous Marcos regime yet we need to stop being haunted by it), we need to be more education and we should cast aside this "soap opera mindset" as it only stagnates in progress. We need to be better than what we are now, to be honest with you.
That’s what poverty and multi colonizations do to a country
I understood as one of a Japanese who got married w Pilipina. We co-working situation of both of us better. We feel very happy to know the Philippines growth at these days. Actually, our nieces working as a manager of foreign enterprise and Airlines CA.
We might need a Cultural Revolution We Wipe the Crab Mentality,Soap Opera and Carefree Mentality/Mindset we need to Promote and Encourage Learning and Family Values
To Mr. Epimetheus, as U know, Pinoy had called "little American or 51th. States of USA" In other hands, we Japanese must admit what they have done before that I apologize for all Filipino.
But the US has no right to pointed out the matter, coz it's the matter RP & Japan. before you say so, Please answer my question about Viet-num war?
WE need fair talk in front of ALL Philipino.
白石欣 Eh you guys must Move on from that Event im sure you have learned your lesson i guess,Just dont Be like Germany they keep on Apologizing about their past and cause of that they are having a slow progress
Yay, finally something about my country
KuGiCa Imp
1. "Philippines is still owned by Spain"
No it isn't, Philippines is an independent country.
2. "Filipinos are still slaves of the Spanish people"
Lol no, slavery has been abolished
3. "Philip II still owns them like he owns his dogs"
He's dead, long time ago. He owns nothing.
4. "Filipinos hate their rich pre colonial history" No Filipinos hate anything, Filipinos doesn't just belong to one culture group but to many which may or may not be mixed or influenced. Also there's statues of precolonial warriors in the Philippines. And a precolonial native Lapu Lapu is a national hero. So you saying "Filipinos hate......" doesn't really add up to it.
5. Yes we were "forced" to be catholic but not everyone. Some early Filipinos converted voluntarily. And keep in mind there are no perfect empires.
6. We are still Catholics because we choose to be Catholics.
7. There's a lot to be proud of. Every country has its problems.
8. We don't need to conquer to prove we are strong.
9. Idk about you but I'm being respected, so are my family and friends. Maybe it's just you and how you interact with foreigners, you uneducated fuck
10. Katulongs become katulongs because they simply lack the money and education to become something else.
11. And changing the name to Maharlikha? lol don't even
Let me tell you something friend, no empire is perfect. I won't deny that we were handled poorly but we should be thankful because otherwise, without them we wouldn't be united. And also I read an article that in that era, the officials back in Spain wasn't neglecting the Philippines, they knew what was going on and they even sent laws and decrees to make the spaniards in the Philippines less strict and cruel. But Spain can't really do anything else because for one, they're too far. Second, they've been involved in a lot of wars, so handling the Philippines by themselves were already a challenge. Idk what you're on about but if you really think that way, why not do something about it? you keep talking about it yet you waste your precious time and mine for this? prove me wrong when you become president

LOOK AT HOW PROGRESSIVE AND POWERFUL THOSE COUNTRIES ARE NOW. THERE IS NO DENYING IT. YOU JUST MADE A FOOL OF YOURSELF. HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!♥♥♥
What makes you say the Philippines hasnt preserved thier heritage? the Philippines still has 100+ fucking languages most are of Austronesian and Malay origin each ethnic group still has its own unique cuisine. so you obviously have no idea or don't really know anything about the country
you have a point that some nations had internal warring states periods but did they face several foreign imperial forces at that point in their countries development? the Philippines had battles against Spain since the 1565 the Philippine revolution started at 1896 Philippine-American War 1899 Japanese Occupation at 1942 only finally achieving independence at 1945! a long list of wars against foreign imperial powers. War after war after war.i doubt any other country would've survived but the philippines did.
What do you want to happen have the Philippines be plunged in civil wars fighting like feudal warlords and barbarians for 100 more years? while most of the world are progressing? different countries face different challenges pretty stupid to compare another country to another. Japan have no natural resources pretty much why western colonizers left them alone, China is naturally resource rich.
Don't be a fool even if this war of unification did happen theres a 0% chance it would succeed since foreign capitalists would just take advantage of it siphon even more resources from this country much like the wars in the middle east.
That kind of thinking is outdated foolish and dangerous.

This is amazing explanation! And yes Hinduism and Buddhism is the first religion in the Philippines. Not Roman Catholic by Spanish.
JCItchyFeet Chuladakorn actually the first religions came from the negrito people who believed in what deity they had before the Austronesians came.
I agree with Just4Kixs though after that I think what came after was Hinduism & Buddhism(I'm trying to remember what my history teacher said)
Paganism...

KuGiCa Imp I agree but I am also referring to the time when our ancestors worshipped water, wind, ocean, forest or purely the Mother Nature.
Remember when they called for Bathala, Dumagan, Apolaki, Mayari and etc. It was like the equivalent of Greek or Roman mythology.

Great vid! Just wanted to also add that there were already Austronesians before the Malays coexisting with the Melanesians that came to the islands first. The Melanesians whom we call "Negrito" or "Agta" are theorized to have come to the Philippines via land bridges that connected the islands to the mainland. After these bridges sank into the sea, the first wave of seafaring Austronesians arrived through Taiwan and lived alongside and intermingled with the Agta.
Surprised that this wasn’t mentioned at all, considering this is the expansion which brought Austronesian languages and culture to the islands, not the various small scale back migrations from the Malay archipelago

One should clarify that the Spanish Empire did not lead to the disappearance of local dialects and scripts: translating Castilian even into local tongues. Also Castilian became mandatory only for the upper class members of society.
The disappearance of languages and dialects started with the US invasion.
Yeah. But for us bisaya, though we know the term of a a particular thing in bisaya, but still we use the spanish term because its easier to pronounce. Only the news uses straight bisaya, but our daily conversations contains a lot of spanish loan words.
We still use Ilocano/Igorot Dialect daily here in the Cordilleras. Even in the areas where the Spanish had a firm grip on, Mainly in La Union.
No, it was in spanish. What he talks about the alphabet or script. Some other dialects got disappear too in some areas. That's what our teacher said too.
antonio pigafetta led me here, i've seen his diary online, i'm from Butuan City and i'm so amazed on the language they learned and even the places and islands were saying on his diary were true, i've been on some places he mentioned on their journey

Maraming galit kay Alejano nuon kase gusto niya baguhin ang pangalan ng Pilipinas. Miski si virgilio almario sinuggest na instead of Philippines gawin na lang Filipinas ang pangalan ng bansa natin. sa tingin ko ito ang pangunahing suliranin ng ating bansa ang hindi pagkilala at kawalan ng pagkakakilala sa sariling kultura at kasaysayan natin bilang mga Filipino. nuong kasagsagan nung issue kay Alejano naisip kong ang mga taong galit na galit sa panukala niya nuon ay ang mga Pilipinong walang pagmamahal sa sarali nating kasaysayan. hanggang ngayon bulag tayo sa sarili nating kasaysayan. Napaka liit ng impormasyon sa pre-colonial Philippines at sa katunayan ni hindi natin alam ang pangalan ng bansa natin bago dumating ang mga Kastila dito. Tinuruan tayo na mga negritos indones at malay ang mga unang nanirahan sa Pilipinas pero may mga ebidensya na halos magkakalapit ang ninuno ng prehistoric japan (ainu) sa mga ninuno ng mga taga south east asia. Nuong bata ako gusto ko maging historian. hanggang ngayon hindi nawawala ang interes ko sa kasaysayan kahit psychology major na ako
Daniel Louis Camaquin Ang "Philippines" ay ang Iningles lamang mula sa Filipinas/Pilipinas kaya bakit pa kailangang baguhin eh iisa lamang ang kahulugan nito.
Daniel Louis Camaquin Isa pa, hindi natin alam ang pangalan ng bansa bago dumating ang mga Kastila dahil WALA naman talaga. Huwag mong masyadong paniwalaan 'yung sinasabing "Maharlika" ng mga Tallano. Ang Pilipinas ay maraming iba't ibang kalinangan at kabihasnan ang umusbong at nakapaloob sa kapuluan kaya hindi maaaring maging isang bansa ang Pilipinas noong pre-kolonyal na kasaysayan nito. Makikita na sa bidyo ang mga sinasabi ko.
sapagkat hango ito sa pangalan ng ating mananakop
Our culture is a big reflection of our great and complex history. It is influenced by most of the people we have interacted with. A blend of the Malay south East Asian with the influence from Chinese, Hispanic Indians Arabs, and other Asian cultures really contribute to the customs and traditions of the Filipinos. The philippine culture was never wiped out like Latin America. Much of the Philippine archipelago still speak their native languages that are Austronesian as well as cuisine which is dominantly Asian. Ethnically, the majority of Filipinos are Austronesian with Chinese fusions.
Brother, I have a question, does the Filipino language originate from the Hindu culture?
Chinese only make up 1.8% of the population. The Philippines is not a Chinese fusion
Thanks for covering the Philippines 👍. But you didn’t mention how the British Empire lease and continuously leasing Sabah from Sulu. Early Filipinos are skilled goldsmith. Philippines is truly the Land of Gold. Even the slaves have their golds passed by their relatives. You can see how lavish the golds in the Boxer Codex. Also, Barangay pronounced as Ba-rang-guy 👍
YATOGAMI ..... lolol, he's not gonna go through all that stuff, he only has 8 mins.
007thematrix007 I’ve typed it all in less than a minute. I’m so sure it will not take more than 30secs to mention the leasing. Not asking for detailed version. Lol
Pls watch Solomon's Gold of God Culture... its much more than this you will all be overwhelmed with our history
El Dorado is real. The Spanish conquistadors are just looking for it in the wrong continent.
Looking for El dorado?
I wish this was explained to us when I was still in grade school. Back when I was little, Philippine history started with Magellan trying to conquer us. I graduated high school not knowing anything about what happened before that.
That's what self studying is for. Visit a state library or look it up online.
Don't burst her bubble. She really tries to convince herself that she is some kind of victim of the Spanish.
elaine even the teachers didnt know this
They actually did..you probably werent listening in your class.
@@jade5202 my school library is just kind of not a library but it gives us a place to ehhh review
Thank you for the reader's digest version on a history I never knew. That was truly interesting and nicely presented.
Excellent video! I learned a lot about pre-colonial Philippines in this short video. You did excellent research.
I like the overview that you provide of the pre-Hispanic centuries. Please revise to correct the spelling of “circa”. Other than some inaccurate pronunciation, this was an easy-to-follow presentation, thank you!
I like how Duterte grows a mustache at the end
HAH XD Same
😂😂
lol
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Thanks for the interesting video of Philippine history. You covered a lot in 8 minutes.
Amazing Philippines ..... an Amazing Philippines sighting lol, how's everything rod
Never forget the ancestors.

Watch The God culture series in youtube to investigate a deeper history of Philippines.
Some of this are inaccurate
@@back2zher090 - What part exactly?
Extremely informative and to the point. Thankyou.
This video is great. The history of the Philippines is an epic to say the least.
Great job you are doing
Can you do episode about japan history
And thank you
Love your videos. Quick note: Malay's pronounced as mah-lay not may-lay.
Erdenesaikhan Amarsaikhan no it is mer lay
Mer as in mermaid? Definitely not.
Erdenesaikhan Amarsaikhan actually he's correct if u read it in a british way (silent r)
Ah OK I can see it now. I guess that would be more valid for British English speakers the and Mah-lay, or Muh-lay, would be more valid for American English speakers.
Ah so reading it in a compelely foreign language is more valid than the actual way of reading it through its own language. Okay.
and they still call us uncivilised when they found us. heck we even have our own canons called lantakas
Somalia and the congo have RPG rocket launchers but they still even in 2020s aren't fully civil.
It has to do with what a nation can do with it's power.
Don't feel shame as a Pinoy, the Romans called Germans barbarian but look who is winning today.
Maybe Philippines will outlast Spain, who knows
