- Tell us a time when you learned about Filipino American History growing up… Yeah, we can’t either.
#FAHM #FilipinoAmericanHistoryMonth #FilipinoAmerican
In this week’s episode, we’re talking about the impact that Filipinos have had on the American landscape and why it’s important to talk about it.
_______
Breaking the Tabo: Let’s talk real sh*t is a satirical series that explores modern Filipino experiences not included in dominant discourse or mainstream media.
"Breaking the Tabo" is a play on words for “breaking the taboo.” To break the taboo is to break from something that is excluded from mention. A tabo... well, Filipinos will understand. We'll be releasing a new episode every Thursday of Filipino American History Month!

Even today in a pandemic, you see commercials like nurses are important and need to be appreciated but fail to represent filipino nurses even though a big portion of nurses in the us are Filipinos and most of them are in the front lines in the icu where the most covid care is. You see white black but you rarely see Asian let alone filipino. You see white and black nurses get alot of screentime and get thanked by the news left and right but won't recognize Filipinos that probably do more than those that they highlight in the news.
Racism and insecurity.
That's what their culture is.
I’m craving some of my mom’s beef sinigang right about now…lol
…Really appreciate your time and the information you’re sharing. Sometimes there’s a disconnect within the FILAM generational family structure over time. So it’s important for us to understand the roots of our heritage and be more aware and proud of the culture. Thank you!
This channel deserves support! Will let my students see this!
Thank you! If we don't tell our History someone else will, keep up the great work!
Will definitely share with my students and colleagues at the elementary school I work in. This was very enlightening to see!
I really love how Filipino American support each other their community. I just want to say i'm Filipino too but i grew up in France! We have a little community of Filipino French but it's not exactly the same. Here when you are French you are just French many of Filipino want to forget their origin and being a good French citizen.
(And i can understand that but sometimes it's wierd) Not all Filipinos French are like this of course! but there's a lot.
Thanks to shared all of this and now i know a little bit more about historical of Filipino American.
Racism.
@@evildisaster8149 why?!
Thanks for sharing and bringing light to this. Please keep it up.
Great job again! Love the videos.
Yo this channel needs more subscribers. One of the best UA-cam channel
Thank you for this 🙏🏽🙌🏽✨
it seems that Pinoys and Pinays are very humble enough and don't really want to be on the spotlight though they deserve to atleast get the credit and recognition when they make great contribution to the world.
Living in New Orleans, I’ve recently visited the first Filipino establishment with my fiance, who is also Filipina, in the U.S. known as St. Malo, in the St. Bernard Parish. The first Filipino settlers were a group of fishermen who settled in an area that was previously occupied by runaway slaves from New Orleans. The fishermen had their own community and way of life and did well for themselves there. A hurricane struck St. Malo and tore apart the settlement but there is a marker that still stands to this day, and local Filipino Americans and others come to commemorate the place often. Thought it was pretty cool. Just wanted to share.
Thank you for your work on this!
Love this!!
I love this thank you for this... my kids will now know more! Sharing and Subscribed ! By the way I designed the Dora Milaje for Black Panther and I used some of my Filipino culture in the design .. Ifugao !
Absolutely love this series. 👏🏼 Thanks so much for putting this together!
I'm Filipino RETIRED US Navy and I'm happy 😊 ❤🎉
OMG a fellow ifugao!!!!! First time seeing being featured on an international UA-cam channel
What about the plight of Filipino nurses recruited in the 60s, the era of industrialization expansion? Filipino nurses were recruited by the thousands but their pay scale were not equal to their American counterparts.
Thank you. So much
Thank you for this! Great content and definitely something I’ll share.
Thank you so much for this series ❤️
please bring back breaking the tabo episodes!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for this content! ❤️
1st thing we got to do is get rid of always putting in front of America the original Ancestor country name.
Once you're born here you're an American.. We have to quit putting people in separate groups. everybody born here are Americans.
My wife is a Filipino-american she was born in the Philippines. Our child is an American. My family came from Germany I'm not a German-american I'm an American.
I understand the government likes keeping us separated because it's easier to control a separate smaller groups. one United group of Americans standing together can not be controlled.
I’m Philippine born Filipino American. I was in the US Army, became a US citizen, and lived my adult life here in the US. I agree with you bro, let’s move forward and not all this garbage hate. The US is not perfect, but it’s still the best place to live. Respect others and don’t break the law. We’re so free, one is even free to leave😎🇺🇸🇵🇭 ✌️
As an American you have the freedom to just say American. :)
Same here. The only immigrant in my house is my wife who became a American citizen in 2008. The kids were born here and they claim america. I point out both primary heritages with Spain, Chinese, german and English as sub heritages since I into genealogy I want them to know their ancestry. And most people back in those days in those parts were agricultural. Were they forced to come? Where they forced into those jobs? The Philippines has those same jobs
So wanted to disregard the efforts of the of the first Filipino who paved the way for all Filipino-Americans? You don't like to acknowledge their existence in the past, the significant amount they contributed in nation building and their major sacrifices, the blood, sweat and tear that they shed so the next generation of Filipino-Amercans can reap the benefits. You wouldn't now cause you are White and never mistreated or experienced racism.
Resilient and Strong and Kind and Fighters! Just some of the Traits that Filipinos Have! As an Immigrant I’m Proud to be Pinoy🇵🇭🫡🇺🇸
I love Sapphire! She also does ghost stories.
This history really is so glazed over and I'm so happy this channel is here to get the word out. As someone who has imbibed a pretty whitewashed version of US History, sincere thank you.
💯💯💯
Such an important video with great information, but did anyone else's eye start twitching with the constant paper crumpling sound?
I'm on Kumu as well...been there since it started. I often talk about filipino history, actually doing a special now on the first fil-ams. Btw pure puti ako pero Pusong Pinoy. Kuyajoey kumu name. Would love to collab

I have a story to tel in Filipino American HIstory current.
The Manillenos (men from manila) helped the americans in their civil war. The american dream became a bangungot (nightmare).
I have been a life long activist, I remember all those issues, I was with the ufw, but Chavez then went to the Philippines under Marcos and betrayed the movement, my group CALM sent out a letter of condemnation. Also I am wondering if this is true, this is what my father used to tell me; that the filipinos were basically not allowed to bring their filipino women over here, so the men had to either be virgins or monks with no sex or interracially date. This caused great hate also to filipino men. When I was finishing up my journalism degree at San Jose State a journalism teacher when he asked what do you think we should publish, and I had never been to a college with so many asians, so I sheepishly raised my hand and said maybe we should see what asians are interested in. He in front of a whole class, said just because your grandmother frequented a dance hall does not make you asian. I told that to a filipino friend and she said why did you not slap the bastard, he was calling your grandmother a whore for interracially marrying. So I went back to campus and saw the professor and said hey you, I got something to say and he ran as fast as he could and I chased after him in my purple hightop converse tennis and he was slamming the door to his office but I jammed my foot in the door so he could not close the door, I said, I did not realize you called my grandma a whore, and he said from now on you call me, by my last name and I said then you call me by my last name buster, I should have gotten him fired The picture of me is my grandpa on his way to steal thru gambling from the whites. At one point he had enough shit from whites that he decided to steal from them and he kept a family of five afloat on cheating with cards, in the end it killed him, but he hated whites and he passed that down the line. By the way when I chased that racist, I was under five feet and 90 pounds, but fast on my feet as a martial artist and I was willing to whoop his ass. But he was terrified of me, do not mess with filipinos and another myth you can respond to; is it also true that the magnum gun was made to stop Filipinos, some say yes, some say no. But I read the ordinary weaponry were just not stopping the warriors so they had to upgrade to kill us. True or false?
Wow great experience dude! That aughta show him. BTW The Gun in question is the Colt 45.
@@renesarabia6442 Thank you
Philippines was very usefull to the www2 help the americans defeat japanese imperial army we helped the anericans to liberate south korea from the chinese red armies and the communist korean
I believe Filipinos arrive in the USA much earlier than 1920's
October 18, 1587-Filipino American History Month is celebrated in the United States during the month of October, commemorating the first recorded arrival of Filipinos on the land that is now the continental U.S. on October 18, 1587, by way of a Spanish galleon, that docked at what is now Morro Bay, California.
@@kidsnewtube3488 so Filipinos helped in the creation of what is now USA.
@@ygolot1013hahah no they didn’t. They were slaves in Spanish ships bound for Mexico
@@kidsnewtube3488It was called the Trans-Pacific Slave trade. Filipinos were not on their own ships nor were they free
@@kidsnewtube3488It was also not an “arrival”, it was a stop. They didn’t stay
Something something manila massacre, something something attempts at gaining independence form USA. At least that’s what I learned in the required uni Phil hist class.
My American history class form high school had a single paragraph about the Philippine seeing the ‘foothold into the new world’ or whatever.
🤘🥺🤘💖💖💖,,,
🧔🏼🧨🔥
The video is a good start, but emphasized a few hardship moments of the population, while failing to also emphasize the positive events which the population experienced, as well a balanced contribution individuals of the population have made to the history of the United States.
i remember my grandma said amerixans used to take ppl and then theyd nvr see them again but theyd take the kids
Filipinos before American period were present in Mexico. From what I know Colima.... I'm sure just like thier relations in Philippines, the Mexican Filipinos moved to Cali and other States crossing the border...
They were brought as slaves to Mexico. They did not fit in with Mexican immigrants to the US in the late 1800’s/early 1900’s. Mexicans were considered White. Asians and Black people weren’t even allowed to marry Whites/Hispanics
white-ly
Right?! and I’m Filipino ...wtf?😳
Some contradictory tone in your speeches. Given this is your channel you can say what you want, but words and phrases like ‘White-y’, Manongs, but not the Manongs in your ‘Fish Market’ WTF? You complain about the treatment of Filipinos, yet you labelFilipinos as well Fish Market Manongs’ get real...🙄

I caught it also. Most would have done a retake.
the good thing about USA is that you will be given an opportunity to work your way up so you can prosper so that your next generation will enjoy the fruits of your labor just like what the manongs did. i know it was a tough time and there a lot of racists and stuff happening back then. i believe USA was in the position of power back then where they can hire people from other countries such as the Philippines and give an opportunity to work in a farm. I see capitalism there. I think Philippines will also do that if we were in the US shoe.
God...My ancestors were treated like crap everywhere, including our home country... Time will come.
A hard working group, Filipino Americans have the 3rd highest household income ($96,000) of any ethnic group in America in 2021, next to Asian Indians (highest) and Taiwanese.
Filipinos know that there is no short cut to succeed in America: it's having a good education and lots of hard work.
They don’t have class or taste though, so it’s a wash
Correction: Filipinos who fought WWII vs japanese was promised by General " I shall return" McArthur (a Republican) US citizenship and individual monetary compensation but Pres Truman (Democrat) and his Democrat Congress at that time did not implement. They even gave Japanese and German (their WWII enemies) big sum of money to help them but tried to give less than 10% for Philippines as war payment. Truman felt bad but it is a law he signed anyway but Filipinos at that time still has pride did not accept the insulting amount. History shows some Americans do not like Filipinos.
"Whitely...I mean, WIDELY" 😂😍
You’re not funny for saying “whitely”
I have a problem with the wokeness of this channel. You can't make all white people bad like how these videos portray. Very disappointing.
Pinag uusapan po here is the history...tama po ba?
@@johncarlo_bythestreet3192 According to your name, you have the Spanish colonizer blood running through your veins. Sorry history lang naman.
Hey I'm just asking
@@johncarlo_bythestreet3192 Exactly! Didn't feel good being labeled a colonizer unnecessarily right? Are you from Pinas? if so, are many people there think like how this video presents itself?
@@filipinovegaslife70 yes i am from ph and i don't think na may connection yung name ko sa dumadaloy na dugo saakin?
