  • Seems a model family featuring in this old documentary film. A viewer informs me that the boy moved to Manila and his name is now Ramon. I heard that Ramon is now (2022) 76 years old and his sister Juanita 79 and the baby 70?. Rowell Sumang reported that his hometown San Luis, Pampanga, is shown.

    I am one of the baby boomers and this video brings back a lot of memories for me, I was born in the mid 50's and used to live in San Fernando Pampanga PH. I remember vividly the "Kalabaw", meals eating dried fish, garlic fried rice, living in a Nipa hut made out of bamboo leaves and bamboo. There was no running water so we have to collect water from the public "Poso or water pump" using a bucket, no toilet back in the days as this was after the WW2. That was our everyday normal routine / life and we don't know any better. Looking back, a lot has changed since then and now but I'm just glad I have experienced that kind of life, otherwise I won't appreciate the life I have today. The Gender Equality has improved now but men still get paid more than women for the same job. The modern convenience has a lot of improvement this day and age. The advanced technology like cars, phones, household appliances, etc.. My 2 cents? Life was much simpler back in the days than today but I won't trade the fresh running water and the modern plumbing like toilet, shower and bathtub. I know that there's a lot of ppl in this world sleeping like we're still the 50's but I hope their life improves as the time goes by like mine.

He sound exactly like filipino man who speaks fluent English. It was a documentary about the life of a typical filipino family who are Farmers back in the 50’s. The narrator might be an actor, journalist or an English teacher. He doesn’t sound American at all.! I mean are kidding me! His Tagalog pronunciation was spot on. I can’t even wrap my head around your comment. And add to my annoyance are the people who acknowledges your comment! I reckon you never met a decent Filipino who speaks fluent English. What a shame.

      @@Maya-yp2ey I have met a lot of Filipinos who speak fluent English. Ones with accents, and ones without. None of the Filipinos with accents I've ever heard remotely speak the way he does. He can't pronounce tagalog words, and he even butchers his children's names. There's no consistency in the way he speaks at all. It also doesn't make your point to say that he doesn't sound American, because I wasn't saying that he sounds American. I was saying he's trying to fake what a fluent English-speaking Filipino would sound like. I only assumed he was American, because this is an American documentary. Even if you look up old footage and dialogues of fluent English-speaking Filipinos from that era, none of them sound like him. What I've said in my original comment is most likely true, because America, during the 50's, wasn't very inclusive to foreigners with anything. It was an era when most of the country was very racist, especially Hollywood and other film industries in the country. So it wouldn't be a stretch to believe that they hired a white man to do a voice over pretending to be a Filipino.

      These are idealised visions of home life but as someone who might be old enough to be your father and one who has friends who grew up in farms and plantations, it's not as idyllic as these scenes appear to be. It's a hard scrabble life. What's the indication of that? Just look at the need and failure of land reform. It was meant to pull these people out of poverty but the advancing average age of farmers show how difficult it is for the next generation to take over.
      The need for capital and competition from more efficient farming in other countries squeeze margins and starve farmers.

      Because of rampant corruption in the Philippines--in every level of government--most industries are weak compared to other countries in the region.

    My parents grew up in the Philippines and we migrated to the US when I was still 7, they told me about the life of hardship they had to go through to provide me the life I have right now, my parents helped both of their families, but unfortunately their siblings married too early and have children, then they asked too much from my parents to help my cousins education, my grandparents also asking my dad to pay for em' , my family was barely living. I haven't finished my college but I'm already a thousand dollars in debt in college loan and I have to get a part time job but still my grandparents asking my parents way too much. All because some of my relatives are lazy to work and just relying for financial assistance while pressuring my dad just because they thought that we have a better life here in the US, we're not rich, we're just like every other simple families. This is the reason why I no longer want to go back nor talk to my relatives.

    Our public classrooms were also old like what was shown in this video. I get to play "luksong lubid", tug of war, and a lot of traditional Filipino games during my elementary years.
    I got to dance different kinds of Filipino folk dances. And every afternoon we would walk home on foot, passing by the what was once a majestic beautiful lake we called "lamak" with many farmers and carabaos working until sun down.
    Those were golden years.
    The years where we still don't have smartphones and computers.
    The air was fresh and we would take off our shoes everytime we pass by the lake to feel the smooth green grass-covered soil.
    I feel so blessed to have experienced it all.

People are not corrupted by greed, technology and stuff. Filipinos were very family oriented, Polite, Friendly and resilient living a productive life after WWII ended. Good all days I won't mind living in nipa hut plowing fields, walking bare footed and live without much technology if it means living a life peacefully with respect and dignity. I want a time machine. Kudos to the uploader. Thank you with all my heart.

      Like, YOU don't know anything about politics, don't talk about that, colonialism isn't "fearing for your life", you're pretty much FINE if you follow the rules.
      Colonialism is defined as “control by one power over a dependent area or people.” It occurs when one nation subjugates another, conquering its population and exploiting it, often while forcing its own language and cultural values upon its people.
      Not only did the Spaniards come to force their religion and culture on us, they built the CODE OF LAW, they built Towns, they built Cities, They built churches, they built docks/ports, they built sewage systems, they built canals, etc.
      If Spain never colonized Philippines, we would be a part of China, Brunei, or even the kingdom of Sulu.

      If you lived before the 1500s your family is pretty much in danger, you could be attacked by other Filipinos hungry for food, you could be attack by banded tribes, you could be attacked by the kingdom of Sulu, you could be attacked by the numerous sultanates around the country, like, do you even study history?, Don't even forget about the diseases, malaria was widespread.

I would wake up 5am everyday to tie the goat to an area where there is an abundance of grass from which it will feed and a nice shade to protect himself from the heat of the sun.
    I remember whenever i visit my lola, she would fill their little swimming pool with hot water (because luckily, the spring, their water source, is hot) and i would play and swim their all morning then catch some tilapias in their pond nearby for lunch.
    Good times.

I was fortunate to marry the woman I'd been corresponding with. While on an airplane ride from Manila to Cagayon I struck up a conversation with a distinguished older Filipino seated next to me. He introduced his wife, a newspaper editor, and shared that he'd been in government with Ferdinand Marcos. He told me to look out the window at the green as far as you could see. He said, " We have one of the longest growing seasons in the world, we have an educated population, we were a developing country but now we are third world...." My takeaway was he was lamenting what should be now, where the country should be as opposed to where it is. I loved his sharing his thoughts.

    Oh. So this was filmed in Pampanga. I’ve been there a few times. It’s so hot and humid there compared to Manila. It feels so nostalgic watching this video although it’s a life I’ve never lived. I can’t remember much of my childhood in the late 90s.

      We share similar linguistics and in a way are related since we are a part of the Austronesian population. nasi in kapampangan means rice just like in malaysia and indonesia. some bahasa words are also similar to tagalog. and at one point in time we even shared kingdoms and aristocracy. I even have an indonesian friend count in her language and it is almost the same as ilocano.
