I must say, I am absolutely captivated by this new vlogger and their incredible content showcasing the beautiful places in the Philippines. Their videos are a visual treat, taking us on virtual journeys to breathtaking landscapes, vibrant cities, and serene beaches. Their love for the Philippines shines through their enthusiasm, expert storytelling, and attention to detail.
Most of us Chinese in the Philippines speaks Hokkien(Minnan Hua), cause most of came Fujian. But some decendants don't speak like Chinese in Malaysia and other Southeast Asia. But most of us learn Mandarin or Pu Tong Hua. Most are 2nd or 3rd generation youths born here. Some are not diligent even if both their dad and mom are Chinese. 你會說一口流利的中文，帶有台灣口音。
My nephews are half Chinese & went to Kung Hua Chinese School in CDO from Elementary to High School but they can't even speak fluent Mandarin. They are now middle age with families.
Mana did not do her homework before going to Chinatown, Philippines. She should have done some research. That's why not everyone understands her when she speaks Mandarin.
I'm Muslim Filo with Chinese descent. I speak 6 languages and yet I don't know how to speak Chinese since we never practice chinese cultures and celebrations. Just like what you said, some of us don't have diligent about their ancestry so we forget our roots. My mother side is Chinese while my father side is Bruneian but both of my family are Muslims so obviously we only practice the teaching of our religion. I don't even know I have Chinese blood since my mother don't even care about it, until my grandmother told me that we have Chinese blood althou I look Chinese and have fair skin that stands out when I was a kid. Now that I'm adult, I'd like to have more midtone so I can blend and don't get more attentions
@@2Sage-7Poets Mandarin is the proper term. Technically, there is no such thing as a Chinese language per se. Ano ang sagot mo sa Philippine language?
It’s impressive that you could speak so many languages. Its no wonder you picked up English quickly. You’ll have to tell us how you did it. Good luck with your Tagalog.
I know Binondo many are only part Chinese or no longer speak Chinese & the ones that do speak Hokkien. I was scared you weren't going to find a Mandarin speaker, I was so happy when you finally found one! Here in California back then in the Chinatowns not many speak Mandarin also, mostly Cantonese, but today most Chinese can speak Mandarin.
Your stay in Taiwan during the quarantine period paid off well, Mam Mana! If you were stuck here instead maybe your Filipino be much better by now. Hopefully, you stay here longer and complete your skills to all your acquired languages. Gabatte ne!
hello mana, your vibe and atritude has adapted to filipino cuz you really want to interact with other people amd start a conversation, which some foriegners are really hesitant.. thats the perks for living quite long on the philippines.. more power to you channel..
Mana try visiting Ma Mon Luk restaurant its one of the most famous and oldest chinese restaurant in the Philippines in Manila, they are famous for Siopao and Mami which is similar to ramen but different flavor, Try to get to know the history of Ma Mon Luk, I am not sure if its located still in Cubao, you wont get disappointed with there asado or chicken siopao and Chicken or beef Mami, please try and visit the place and try the food and learn the history of that famous restaurant
The friendship between the Filipinos and the Chinese is hundreds of years old. The best friends of the Filipinos in Asia are Chinese, South Korean, and Japanese. 🇵🇭🇨🇳🇰🇷🇯🇵
😂 what hundreds? maybe thousand years.... even before Gregorian Calendar Chinese and Filipinos nowdays have been products trading partners. Chinese introduced their best porcelain products and clothings to ancient Filipinos while Filipinos introduced pearl, golds, and decorative shells.... they did barter of products that era.
In Pangasinan province, most Chinese come from Fujian province, PROC & most of them speak Hokkien. Pangasinan was once a tributary state during the Ming dynasty in China, early 14 century, before the colonization of the Phils.
Majority of the chinese immigrants in the philippines are from fookien province in souther china so the language difference i have personnaly witnessed this back in the 70's when a bus load of tourist from taiwan came to our place in manila to visit our chinese neighbors who sell's chinese medicine they cant understand each other.
Quadlingual Mana! That's awesome you can show off your Chinese-speaking skills! I remember you were a part of Sanyuan Taiwan with Mr. 3 lol...so I know you can speak Chinese/Taiwanese quite well! Anyway, I think you missed a specialty there at Eng Bee Tin which is the hopia and their various flavors, rather than the milk tea which I know Taiwan is famous for or maybe the originators of. So many things to discover there in Binondo but I guess time is quite limited. Glad you enjoyed, Mana! Hope you can continue to explore and share your experiences of the Philippines!
Your vlogs are getting better and better. And let me comment about your new hair. It's bagay sa 'yo! You speak so well in Chinese. I can also speak in Mandarin. NI HAU MA!
Yes. I saw some of the comments already. The earlier Chinese people who came to the Philippines are Cantonese and later from Fujian. The Cantonese then went back to China specifically Hong Kong because they thought that there are great things happening in Hong Kong that time and since they speak Cantonese, it is to their advantage. So the ones left are the Chinese from Fujian which speaks Minnan. If you say you can speak Taiwanese, maybe that's the Taiwanese dialect which is very close to Hokkien. But surprisingly in this video, you were not able to converse it when you heard Hokkien which should be similar to the Taiwanese dialect. Maybe the Taiwanese language that you mean is the mandarin language which is of course same with Chinese mandarin 😁. Love your videos Manna. Where are you? Why are you not making more videos lately? Take care.
I’m a new subscriber and you just impressed me of your intelligence. Aside from being beautiful and cute. Knowing a lot of languages is very admirable.
Pilipino ako at kasalukuyang nag aaral ng intsik. I’m Filipino and I am currently learning chinese. btw I love Binondo chinatown. the only place I enjoyed in Manila, no other else. Love from Vigan, Philippines. you should come visit Vigan Mana
Mana, why are your videos titled in Filipino? I appreciate that you want to flex your love for our culture and language, but I want your videos to reach more foreign viewers so they can come here as well. Thank you for your love to us Filipinos and I wish you more subscribers.
Majority of the Filipino-Chinese originated from Fujian Province and they speak Hokkien. Some do speak Mandarin especially the new arrivals from mainland China. Some also speak Cantonese, the one spoken in Hongkong. So, you better speak to them in Hokkien if you're in the Philippines.
At the smaller family restaurants, there are often families that still kept up their traditions and can also speak chinese - or hokkien more likely, because like in other Chinatowns and early immgration, most of them came from Fujian. At the big merchandise places like Eng Bee Tin, not so much. Recommendations that are also next each other: > New Po Heng Lumpia House - for their Lumpia! > Quik Snack - for Oyster Cake and Kuchay Ah (chinese empanada)
I wish I can speak multiple language like Mana, I only know Ilocano, Tagalog, English right now and currently trying to learn Korean (Hangul) for some reason. Anyways I hope you enjoyed visiting China Town in PH Mana! 💯
Interesting video Chinatown in the Philippines most must go to when in the Philippines. There lots restaurants specializing delicious Chinese foods and fun shops where you can buy unique souvenirs and items. You try a food tour with a guide in Chinatown to discover more interesting things. Lots of love and blessings
If you know taiwanese, u can give it a try to converse with people who speak hokkien, it's almost the similiar. Some japanese words even have the same pronunciation with hokkien
@@kinoatari3868 Mandarin is like a school or imposed language from latest arrivals - the mainlanders. Taige or Taiwanese Hokkien is the real street language among the Taiwanese majority..
Well, she lived in Taiwan for many years before she even set foot in the Philippines. If I am not mistaken, Taiwan is the first country she visited. She was even featured in many Taiwanese vloggers. In one of the vlogs where the topic was about "first time" (i.e. first boyfriend, first kiss, first sex, etc.), she's very shy and awkward answering those questions 😁😁 She even guested in a Taiwanese TV show. Yeah, that where I got to see or watch Mana for the first time.
Learn the street language. Most Philippine Chinese are speaking Lang-lang -ue (Philippine Hokkien) which is close to Taige (Taiwanese Hokkien). Mandarin is too formal only for office or business language.
Most Filipino-Chinese don't learn Mandarin because they don't want to go back to China; their ancestors, or some of them, migrated here because they didn't want to be in China. Many of them have already lived here for generations, like most of them in other SEA countries.

If I'm not mistaken, most of the Chinese people in Chinatown can speak Hokkien and rare if you encounter a Mandarin speaker.
Lang-lang-ue is the chinese people language which is a Philippine Hokkien, a variation of Min-Nan dialect or south china's Min dialect.
