Pinoys"Filipino" are the living ancestors of ALL Austronesians. IGOROTS of Lusong"Luzon" BA'I "Philippines" are the genetic progenitor to ALL half billion Austronesians of East/S.E.A and Pacific Islanders. We are the original East asian/S.E.Asian/Pacific Islander. LARENA GENE STUDY 2021. Hawaiians are Austronesian but they average genetically more Aboriginal admixture and less IgoLot(Indigenous term)blood or in western coined term "Austronesian". Samoans are more IgoLot"Austronesian" and less Aboriginal admixture. Indonesians, Malaysians are the same as Pinoys"Filipino" but different tribes.

Your welcome. Have a nice vacation. Old fashion way.

My 35th country. One of my favorite countries. Cheers!

Interesting video about Suriname!

Never heard this until I saw your video.

👍🏻👍🏻

Austronesians migrated from Taiwan out onto the Pacific. The weak Austronesians stayed in the Philippines while only the strong could continue onto Polynesia. Before European contact, Polynesians experienced extreme isolation! They did not sail back and forth between Asia and Polynesia!

Tbh the construction of Fang's was kinda mixed of Thailand golden palace and rumah gadang from Padang, Indonesia.

The stereotype types all native Hawaiians know about Filipinos are plainly hilarious and not that good lol

Under Japanese occupation they actually burned ALOT of records and history from the Philippine government. My grandparent's have no birth certificates or record of birth.

The US is premium instigator.

I became curious about the Sakada because I found in my family tree that my 1st cousin 6th times removed was one of the first filipinos who migrated in San Joaquin, California back in 1940s as war drafts then transfered to hawaii in 1947 or 1950, I found my 5th cousin who currently lives in Oahu, Hawaii

Very spot on assessments how ever as a Finn I would like to interject with small caveat on the "Finns don't tend be caught up in futuristic ambitions" this statement holds true on individual level but as community or society I think Finland is very forward leaning and pushing what it possible in policies, science and so forth. Then the closing statements on how some might avoid the extremes to me this feels very much like a personality trait and is not tied to Finnish identity. Where this might stem from is that when it's dark, cold and gloomy outside it's very easy to fall into depression or when it's summer sun shines basically 24/7 it's easy to fall into mania. To survive these extremes in seasons you have to prepare your self mentally and physically. Making almost part of the cycle of life while living here. It's also the thing that most foreigners that move to Finland self report having difficulties with.

Sisu 💪

Pro tip from Finland: Do not reach for money. Reach for each other.

It is totally fine just to pick those factors that seem suitable for yourself. Soon you’ll find yourself watching old Moomin movies and wanting to live like those characters 😀

The quality of life, happiness, your emotional experience is not dominated by some or even many jubilant moments and experiences. To be happy you need to have also the negative things in emotional control. The society around you and everything else is needed to lift you out of misery and fears. That's not really possible by any individuals alone, unless they are sociopaths or become indoctrinated in ignoring injustice and the suffering of others, which seems to be the American ideology in their society. Corruption or more exactly the perceived corruption is a more simple measure of the quality of a society and how people experience it and other people around them. Fighting against corruption is very common in political rhetoric. However it seems to be in many places just a political tool and people and society aren't actually taking big steps to make the situation better. In the USA and most EU countries research results show that the majority experiences corruption to be a major problem. Southern Europe, latin countries, have clearly more problems with corruption. Having fiestas may drown for a while the negative baseline feeling, but doesn't take it away. Such a situation cannot possibly support happiness. It's not the only factor, of course. But it's significant enough to explain a lot.

The "being okay with unhappiness" is for me one of the biggest points. We don't really have a culture of toxic positivity. Half of my family is Nigerian, and if someone asks you how you are and you dare answer with anything else except "good/fine" then all you're gonna hear is "you shouldn't think that way/you have to focus on the positives/someone else has it way worse than you/you shouldn't be unhappy" etc. etc. This to me is very unhealthy. Whereas in finland the response that you will get is "shit sucks man" and an actual attempt to empathize, not change how you're feeling. It's the same principle as if you have a kid and do nothing but invalidate their feelings and tell them not to cry, then you're gonna end up with an adult that is in some way emotionally unstable and they're gonna have to spend their whole lives learning to express their emotions in a healthy way. And then in turn, a child that has grown up not being invalidated and allowed to express their feelings (whether positive or negative) and be human, then you end up with an adult that has learned how to manage their emotions instead of repressing them and is more emotionally stable. In the same way, if you let the people around you be unhappy and feel their negative feelings, then they will be happier in the long run.

My middle Eastern wife does not think sarcasm is funny. She would never accept if I make jokes about stuff she does. I don't mind if our son or wife makes fun of my mistake /misery. This is the absolute biggest cultural differences between us and our families. We have a very dark humour, but they need to be at he top at all costs. That's maybe also why we still are happily married after 25 years 🙏😁

We Finns are the world champions in sarcasm, and that is for me to laugh at your own misery and it's better to laugh at yourself if others also does it. Don't take yourself to seriously. Sarcasm is humour as its best. 👍

Biggest mistake…..the US should have stayed another 50 years right after the war in the Philippines in order to manage its reconstruction. Instead, a power vacuum between factions of greedy and selfish political families squandered the aid between themselves. Anybody who wants to know the effect of America’s premature granting of independence to the Philippines just needs to visit the capital. Compare prewar Manila to present day Manila. The lack of consistent or harmonious master plan is indicative of the factionalism I mentioned earlier. Besides, the US was the one who did the majority of destruction to the capital so what Filipino leaders at the time should have done was delay independence until AMERICA REBUILT WHAT WAS DESTROYED. Oh well….that’s just life…in the end, we all mature and learn by fault, slowly but surely, the Philippines is developing as its own country. I always wonder how Hawaii would have been as its own country. Hawaii seems to have lost its authenticity to commercialism. Waikiki is just like any other mainland beach unlike Boracay where you can still feel that island culture and vibe. (I just don’t like those Boracay fire dancers doing their gig with 90s techno music…I wish the island would hire professional natives in appropriate costumes and music.)

Watching this from Iraq hurts 💀💔

my great Uncle is one of the Ilocano worker group that work in Hawaiian plantation and also fight in WW2 (possibly forced to fight by the Americans)

Whites like Brits, Europeans etc messed up this world for their own advantage only. May God show the real history of nations

well done

U will get famous trust

Thanks man for the information

It is sad The Filipinos in Hawaii hate their Southeast Asian roots they rather claim themselves Kanaka Maoli or Polynesian🥲😂

dude stop your nonsense evil. go to usa, uk and Europe. they are the polluters. who are you?

My grandpa came to Oahu to work in the fields and my grandmother is pure Kanaka Maoli from the island of Hawaii. My father and every ancestor before him on his mother's side were born in the Kingdom of Hawaii :)

Agyamannak para sa explanation of the Sakadas..... Aloha!

But the money' is not for all.... only for East Indian Guyanese

Fairly good. One of the bigger reasons that the Philippine's leaned towards Independence is that they had Filipinos like you mentioned making the idea of identity as their own nation. I've heard of a couple of writers like you mentioned that fostered the ideal of identity/unity among the islander groups, which presented the idea of Filipino first, and territory of Philippines second. Whereas, in the islands, with Japanese, Filipino, Chinese, Korean, Portuguese, Hawaiian and then European and American population. It was the Big 5 business, mostly from Missionary/Mercantile families dominating the Sugar, Pineapple and other businesses in the islands. The other ethnic groups were pushed to Americanize their lifestyle, language, heritage to a lesser degree, education for subsequent generations were to be educated Western/Americanized for advancement/social standing. The advent of the WWII, where the second-generation Japanese (NISEI) had a sizeable population by then, with the internment of the continental Japanese & Japanese Americans, forced the NISEI and government about loyalty, which they formed the 100th Battalion (originally the Hawaii Territorial Guard members) and the 442nd. Due to the recognition of the units being the highly decorated unit, the veterans after losing so many NISEI to death, wounds, they returned and got educated. They had already seen how Black Americans were treated as second class citizens, they had known about the union resistance and violence on their families in Hawaii, and had been in German & Japan, where rebuilding Japan brought in labor unions to deal with the establishing equity and organized labor to deal with corporate business alliance with the military. Returning veterans, unions allied themselves to political parties for local/national political seats and then Statehood for equity. The Philippine's choice of freedom was something that the Filipinos in the war of resistance against the Japanese were due independence, which was one of the arguments that Japan used about non-Asian colonial rule of Asia, which is why they wanted an Asian sphere of influence with Japan at the top.

A LOT OF RACISM TOWARD THE FILIPINOS OF HAWAII. THERES IS NO CONNECTION, FILIPINOS WERE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF BY THE CONTRACTORS WHO BROUGHT THEM HERE FOR HARD LABOR.

I remember my first time in Bohol. My relatives live 2 hours from the main town. Back in 97, there was barely cell, internet or long distance service. There were brownouts, water supply problems, mosquitoes, dirt paths, humidity, no AC, and sounds of roosters and speeding busses. I had to learn to take Filipino baths while trying to understand the dialect.

Thank-you.

Now Venezuela want to grab the ailllll part

Every Guyanese has an opinion as usual. If you are a Guyanese you might know what I mean. Every single Guyanese is an expert in everything and anything, even, the ones that cannot read nor write. And they are quite a few people in Guyana and from Guyana that can neither read nor write. But they are still experts in everything and anything, at least according to them. They are not any easy people. Yes, I was born in the Georgetown Public Hospital in Guyana.

I would appreciate if the focus wasn't on the integration of any single race while hawaiians are displaced and disregarded , it bewilders me that the USA that is responsible for the decline of native hawaiians keep sending ANY people here while our people are being kicked out of our beaches and parks. The american dream is the Hawaiian nightmare

I randomly stumbled upon this after looking for a musubi recipe. This got me teary-eyed. 😢 Damn! We were fuckin' slaves.

My grandfather from the Phillipines was hired by one of the sugar cane companies in the 1950s. We’ve found the ship manifesto he came over on and then later his wife, my grandma came over on a separate ship. I’ve always wondered how those companies exploited workers like my grandfather. One way I believe they were exploited was through the marijuana business but I’ve never found proof.

Wow congrats to her. I’d love to buy a mesob from her

Beautiful film. Keep going Philippe, I appreciate you bringing me along so much to Guyana.

Guyana would needs s few more city to boost the economy and promotes eco -tourism. One city is not enough.

❤️💚💛🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾

you Americian? stop saying rubbish about Guyana, 10 of Guyanese people live in the interior, and most Guyanese do not live in Georgetown, and we may have been the poorest before but we had a better standard of living than a lot of south americian countries, and stop your crap about what can go wrong we will never get any thing like dutch disease and why the fck you going back to slavery and indentured labour? there are 6 races in Guyana so stop your crap about 2 races, I am fed up with fools coming down to Guyana to run it down.

Africans were never Indentured Servants Please stop Falsifying History .. Africans were kidnapped and placed here to fuel the colonial Slave economy for free ... 🔥🔥🔥🔥
