  • When i tell people i'm from the Philippines, i still get questioned about the safety of the country.
    In an environment like today, safety is something that is quite hard to define on the world stage.
    Most of the bad news coming out of the country and making international headlines (before talks of politics and EJKs) was about terrorism and kidnappings in Mindanao and primarily in the provinces of the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao.
    With this video, i just wanted to give you a glimpse of the culture of these provinces and say that we shouldnt let the 1% that is negative represent the 99% that is great.

      @Kalobeast 55 well in Javanese language the VSO structure is rarely use today while the tagalog language can use both SVO & VSO grammatical order but the SVO structure is only use when speaking in a formal speech...
      example:
      formal(SVO)- "ako ay takot" informal(VSO)-"takot ako"

    • @rjee007
      @rjee007 6 років тому +5

      @Kalobeast 55 in tagalog language and the rest of Filipino languages, VSO is considered as informal speech which is the common grammatical structure used by people in day to day coversation... while SVO is only use in formal speach like ceremony, inauguration, public speaking, literature, songs and legal documents... So in short VSO is used by the ordinary people while the SVO is used by the intellectual soceity..

JUST LIKE ANY PLACE IN THE PHILIPPINES AS WELL AS AROUND THE WORLD, PEOPLE STRIVE TO.LIVE I N PEACE AND HARMONY WITH OTHER AND NATURE HAS TO OFFER? THOUGH YOU CAN SAY PRIMITIVE KIND OF LIKE ARE STILL SEEN IN SOME SPOTS OF THE ISLAND. I REMEMBER IT TAKES US TO A BUS FROM LALA TO ILIGAN CITY IN 6-8 HOURS BECAUSE OUR HIGHWAY SYSTEM IS LIKE A COBBLESTONE HIGHWAY AND THE BUS CAN RUN AT 20-30 KPH BUT STOPS SO FREQUENT TO.LOAD AND UNLOAD PASSENGERS ALONG THE WAY AND THAT MAKES IT A REAL LONG TRIP. IF YOU HAVE A BUSINESS TO ATTEND TO YOU CAN NOT MAKE A RETURN TRIP IN ONE DAY! THAT'S HOW PRIMITIVE THE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM IN 30'S UNTIL THE LATE 50'S WHEN THE HIGHWAY WERE SLOWLY PAVED? THOSE COLORFUL RITUALS ARE HAPPENING DURING A WEDDING EVENT FOR THE ROYALS ONLY NOT THE ORDINARY MUSLIM. I WITNESSED A DATU WHO RETURN FROM A PILGRIMAGE FROM MECCA, HE WAS CARRIE BACK TO HIS PLACE RIDING A RIG SIMILAR TO A RIG THAT CARRIED THE ARK OF THE COVENANT ONLY THIS WAS ADORNED GOLD AND LOTS OF PAPER MONEY AROUND IT! ALSO, I WITNESSED WHEN I WAS IN FOURTH GRADE, THE BOMBING OF THE PHILIPPINE AIRFORCE AGAINST A CHIEFTAJN CALLED TAWANTAWAN FOR OVER 6 MONTHS ON A DAILY BASIS BUT HE WAS CONVINCED TO SURRENDER TO RAMON MAGSAYSAY WHO AT THE TIME WAS THE DEFENSE SECRETARY AND LATER BECAME PRESIDENT OF THE PHILIPPINES IN THE MID 59'S! ALSO THE KIRAM FAMILY ALWAYS STAYED AT OUR HOUSE WHEN THEY PASS OUR LOCALITY AND MY.MOTHER PERSONALLY KNEW PRINCESS TARHATA KIRAM OF THE SULTANATE OF SULU. WE HAVE MUSLIM NEIGHBORS ALL AROUND AND WE CO EXUST WITH TEM, PLAYED WITH THEM EVEN ONBOTHER SOCIAL EVENTS WITH NO PROBLEM WHATSOEVER. SO AS YOU CAN SEE MUSLIM PEOPLE ARE JUST OTHER KINDS OF PEOPLE THEY WANT TO.LIVE IN PEACE AND HARMONY!

    _there was some gross mistake at __1:03__. Most likely Arab traders with wooden ships came to this place, same to Indonesian Islands. They were not missionaries. They shared their beliefs as they are under obligation to do so. Locals liked it and embraced it too. There is no compulsion in Islam faith, sincerity is a requisite and they didn't colonize that place_

    Awesome vlog! It is always good to see people from Manila, celebrities most especially doing their best to show the beauty of the different provinces in the Philippines. Showcasing the food diversity of the ARMM is wonderful and how, with careful preparation, travelling to these areas is quite possible. Looking forward to explore more of Mindanao myself. I enjoyed this vlog very much. 👍😊

    I visited Zamboanga recently for work and like a lot of people, the first thing that came to my mind is the Zamboanga siege. When I arrived I was deeply moved by the culture most especially the food! (some of which shown in the video) and of course, the people. I left feeling guilty for my negative perception, inspired because of the wonderful people I met, and hopeful because with the rise of independent content creators, more people can hear and learn about their stories and culture that is not shown in mainstream media. So thank you for shedding light on this subject and sharing their stories! Mabuhay ka!
