Philippines is the only country that celebrates the Christmas the earliest and the longest from September to December, extending to January or to February.
Hanging coffins is a tradition practiced by our Northern Highland Communities especially our Igorot Brothers because they dont really practice much of burying the dead in cemeteries ..They bury their dead ancestors within their community and family houses to be close to them because it is deeply ingrained in family oriented values ..The reason why they hang them is to prevent stray animals to reach and destroy the coffins..
23:12 My sister is married to a Mexican man so it's interesting to know their best-friendedness is historic ;) Also he cooks the best adobo and sinigang since _my mom..._ well, she taught him!
The hanging coffins is a tradition of an ethnic group of people in the Philippines. They've done it since ancient times, I think? It is believed that the higher the dead were placed, the greater the spirit's chance is to reach a higher nature in the afterlife.
When you said you made a reaction to Ez Mil. I think you must react to SB19 as well they are the most famous *PPOP (Philippine Pop or Pinoy Pop)* now a days all of their Concerts were sold out as well as there Merchandise and it’s really hard to get a VIP tickets cause it is the first one to sold out. Anyways they are the first ever Filipino to get to Billboard Charts and the first one to dethrone BTS in Billboard Charts and more. They just had their World Tour from Dubai to New York to Los Angeles and Singapore and had a Homecoming Concert with a sold out tickets 👌🏼✨ take note that this was their *first ever World Tour.* They were featured in one of the well known news TV in U.S which is the *Good Morning America in Fox 5.* They are known as a good vocalist and harmonization abilities in terms of ballad songs but wait’ they can all rap too so yeah they are versatile vocally. You better check them out guys or you’ll be to late! Thank you so much for appreciating us Pinoys this reaction video is great I enjoyed this alot. Thank you! 👌🏼✨
Thank you for your interest in our Philippine culture. As to your question on that segment where they discussed the use of the word BA..it will all depend on the tone of your voice, and if you notice, he was also using some gestures as he says it. And it will also depend on the context/circumstance when you will have to use it. The word Ba, can be an adverbial expression to show emphasis Baba - it may mean chin, it may mean going down. Usually Pinoys maybe using their eyes or hands pointing downward as well to emphasize the word is being used as a direction going down. To be honest I only get to use the sentence Bababa ba? when I am trying to ride an elevator, because one is unsure whether it is going up or going down. And typically in Tagalog repetition of a syllable and adding that syllable as a prefix of a verb usually is a simple way to indicate an action still about to happen ..like kain (means to eat) kakain going to eat...sayaw ( to dance) sasayaw will mean going to dance; So the word baba when used as a verb means going down, bababa - will mean going to go down. When it becomes bababa ba? The last ba is now an adverbial expression emphasizing the going down action..hope that helps make sense.😀 So to know more of the language it helps to remember many root words and go from there. Of course, sometimes there are idiomatic expressions, so you just have to ask to clarify. Filipinos would gladly explain it. And as mentioned in the video with our many regions and many languages/dialects, just have to politely ask how to translate in their local vernacular..or just stick to English.🙂 I did notice some misspellings in the video. Like the group of cities near the capital city is called Metro Manila, not Manila Metro. The other fastest way to learn the language is to sing along with our Filipino songs. Hey might as well sing and enjoy and enrich your knowledge of our language. Some of our music videos now have english subtitles, so that helps a lot. But usually, even when I studied other languages, our instructors would always start with the common daily greetings , common question words, how to count, how to say the colors, add gradually more verbs in ones vocabulary. It is what it is, got to remember and enrich vocabulary and along the way you get to know the culture better. Oh there is a portion on the video where they mentioned using the word Bless to show respect to elders, the actual words used is Mano po. But colloquially, parents will tell a child go bless from lola (grandma), so child would gently touch the stretched hand of the elder and the hand while held out, the child respectfully hold it and gently have it touch the child's forehead. Elder would then say, Kaawaan ka nang Diyos means God bless you..or may just say it in English too, that is also acceptable. But what really is important to use po and opo. Some Pinoys raised abroad may have lost this, but it all depends on the family's upbringing. But it is most respectful to address politely or reply yes to a person older than you, or someone of authority using Opo. It speaks a lot to the manners of a person. It can also be used in the third person manner , to someone you just met and may have helped you with something, like say Salamat po..Salamat means (thank you), adding po at the end shows respect. The word po is positioned usually after the verb.
So typhoons, earthquake, 😂 yes, that is our country but that makes filipino very resilient and very easy to cope up with so many problems but at the end of day we still smile and love life❤❤❤
Baba means down/downstairs, below or get down; chin (depending on how you pronounce it). Ba is a word used to kinda express a question. So bababa ba means are we going downstairs/at the bottom/below?
Well, I believe I can claim that our geographical location contributed to our resilience. Ain't not storm, no matter how strong it is can every bring Filipinos bring down.
The Demouchets REACT, please request make a video of "American Couple Reacts "Melai shares her recent medical condition | Magandang Buhay" and don't forget wearing graduate costume. 🇺🇸🇵🇭🎓
There 17 regions and all.9f them has their domestic airports. There are also, other international airports but what was mentioned here are the 3 largest and busiest.
About the Ba syllable. The guy's intonation is just weird but we can understand the sentence although we don't talk like that but we do always have the vowel A in a lot of our sentences.
The "Ba" sentence actually you can tell the difference by the tone of the syllable, Ken in the video didnt really say it correctly as he seems to have grown here in America
@@TheDemouchetsREACT Bababa ba? bababa. It's actually a conversation between two person, bababa ba? means are we going down stair? and bababa means we're going down. Person 1. Bababa ba? Person 2. Bababa Person 1. Are we going down? Person 2. We're going down.
Ya! Filipinos are Austronesian, the direct ancestors of the Filipinos are the Native Taiwanese. The Native Taiwanese are very closely related to the people of the Philippines, although they’ve mostly assimilated into Han Chinese. Filipinos with Chinese ancestry accounted for almost 36% ~ 40% Which means about one-quarter of Filipinos have substantial amount of Chinese heritage in their genes. Almost all Philippine former and current president have Chinese ancestry, like President Marcos and President Rodrigo Duterte.
in the northern part of Luzon we have a a word for bayanihan called batares meaning you work for the neighbor for no pay but they are obligated to feed you one meal and two snack time one in 10am and 3pm and a meal on the 12nn 😁
You can only hear this in the elevator. If you’re not riding an elevator, then maybe you can never hear this. You: Bababa ba? (Going down) Me: Bababa (yes, going down)
Hurricane and typhoons are essentially the same. Difference is where they form. Hurricanes are formed over the Atlantic Ocean and eastern Pacific. Typhoons are formed over the western Pacific.
Hahaha 😊😂yeah scary but all pilipinos all of that is natural natures give us and we accepted ❤.. Not like other country if they have typhoon is not easy to handle but for us this is natural 😂
Additional part of History, Philippines help some Jews escape the presecution from Nazi. Philippines also help in the war of North and South Korean war
I don't know why but I already felt like Christmas is coming already despite that we celebrate it early(+a long lasting Christmas. Once the ber months started, September to December, Christmas will be coming out already🤣) But in other words, I felt somehow old for starting to see, or realize that the time flew/go fast!😭
Please don't be misled. what they were saying are the three busiest international airports in the Philippines. There are other domestic and international airports in other provinces and cities.
I am seeing a lot Cassava across the world. Bammy is the most famous Cassava dish in Jamaica, eaten with steamed fished but older people will tell you to be careful because it can be poisonous if not grown right.
4:10 there is no umderwater tunnel in the Philippines Pan Highway. It was just an aspiration of the national government back in the Dictatorship of Marcos Sr. who was once recognized by Guinness Book of World Record as the most corrupt leadernof a nation. What is true, is that this highway is "connected" via use of ferries called Ro-Ros. Which means, roll on - roll off ferries. Also, the 3 highlighted airports are the biggest in the nation, but there are also a couple of domestic airports such as Iloilo, Clark and so on.
pretty late on replying about the "ba ba ba" conversation. It's not necessarily only the count of the syllable "BA" but it also heavily relies on the high and low intonation and where you put the stress within the syllables.
Just watched your vlog. Relax, volcanoes, storms, yes but not every month, so not as dangerous as maybe it sounds. There are thousands of immigrants. Government estimate about 350k Americans and about 250k Koreans and other nationalities, are in the thousands. You need more info, from the black perspective, checkout Jay of the channel “The Black Filipino TV” or the channel “Sunshine Shoulders”. Both of whom have been raising their families in the Philippines for a few years now.
It is not even dangerous at all, all in the movies about the volcano's and hurricane is exxagerated, its not like the volcano just erupt like a bubble 😆😆
It's just a bit exaggerated, being ot a country that was colonized by Spain for 300 yrs, a lot of the dialect and languages per region have been muddled through generations
You pronounced the bababa ba better the supposed "Filipino Guy" they have there. Dude didn't even try enough to hide the fact he didn't know how to speak the language.
I knew you were scared with the idea concerning safety issues surrounding the Philippine archipelago related to typhoons, eartquakes and volcanoes. Typhoons/Volcanoes/Earthquakes don't usally exist in all areas of the Philippines. Don't be scared.
