Aahrg. 😢 this is so heavy and heart-crushing. I am partly igorot, no wonder why our forefathers used to behead Americans when they hardly colonized our land
Nakaka insulto po sa lahi niyo po ginamit ang ating kaninunuan kagaya ng human zoo. Bwesit talaga! 😠
Mag ingat po sa mga blanket statement. It works both ways. Kailangan alamin natin if sino ba sa mga Amerikano ang gumawa nyan? Yung mga nag promote na mas evolve ang mga puti. Pero may mga amerikano din na kontra jan. th-cam.com/video/lQPrvPM38Ws/w-d-xo.html
The fact that Baguio City is sitting there to this day means there was no mass Igorot headhunting war against Americans.
@@stevenmorrison6050 What are you talking about?
@@julianhermanubis6800 No one said there was.
This is a short piece I wrote last November for Philippine-American History Month but I was too busy at that time to make the video and never got around to creating it until now! This is the story of when Filipinos were treated like animals in America. Hope you guys learn something new from this short video essay/documentary
Philippines History How Good American Is then During 60s some American Service Men White or Black in Subic Bay coming down to Manila the sailors tilling Us Filipinos Eating Dog We don't really Understand that we just ignored it! the Darkest History of American Treatment of Native Igorot by American is Worse than Japanese it hurt my skin! We Shed our Blood to Military Secrecy to American People
You're a liar.
But who are those who ban it? Are they Filipinos or also Americans? You show the video like CNN or MSNBS. You show only the angle to support your narrative but not the whole story. So, do you know how the Spanish call Filipinos indios? And have you been in Spain? How they still look down at Filipinos up to now?
@@steeb8053 The truth hurts you, doesn't it, Yank?
@@ennui9745 it's amazing how people lap this up without verifying any of it
Filipinos have a very short memory. We forget and forgive easily, why because Pinoys are very adaptable. We blend and we assimilate to our environment.
The only problem with this is that sometimes we forget who we are and where we came from...
I don't
Facts..
Not everyone forgets
True
this is kinda a depressing one sorry about that 😭 next video will be more fun!
are u jeman Aguilar tuyogon from insta? it's a shame that you are educating the Filipinos about racism in America, how they treated them, etc. but you are calling your own country as PAGPAG LAND. 😂😂 it's a shame.
my poor forefathers I am proud that I am igorot. knowing the past is very hurtful. T_T
Why are you proud of your race...you literally had nothing to do with iit
I remember when I was in Grade 7, my Teacher told us that his friend went abroad (I can’t remember what country it was) and then his friend went to a store with a lot of dolls , each doll wore a national costume representing every country in the world, they were all beautiful and exciting to see, my teacher's friend was excited about what the Filipino would look like but he couldn't find it, and then he asked the seller about it, but when the seller showed the doll to the one who represents our country---the Philippines, she was wearing a maid dress, and it really broke her heart.
See how other people in other country sees us.
So we must work hard for the good of our Country.😞❤️
Anyway, I was Grade 7 that time right, and now I'm already in Grade 12 and still can't forget that story. It also became my inspiration to study harder, I know I am just one of millions of Filipinos, but if we are united, we can make our country better.
I'M REALLY SUPER DUPER SO MUCH PROUD TO BE A FILIPINO!!!!🇵🇭😭💘
In Greek the word 'Maid' is 'Philipinas'
What is a maid's dress?
@@jean-guynewbrunswick7483 why do French men all have Girl names?
Why are acting like working as a maid is bad thing. Are you against working class people?
@@steeb8053 LOL first time I hear that one. I LOVE IT!
Thank you Bani for documenting this, such topics are rarely discussed in our History classes.
My History teachers taught us about this had no clue. Very disturbing
Yeah right i was not aware of such thing until your video
Im indonesian but it hurts me alot cuz for me Philippines are our brothers and sisters
sending love to you down there my brother
Respect this shit!!!!!!
They are not related but ok. You guys are closer to Cambodians and singapore.
Thank you. I also feel sad for our Filipino ancestors because of these inhuman colonizers they wiped out our identities.
Thank you for your support, but for a bit more context... these people who were exhibited are not "Filipinos" in general, but rather specifically the Igorots from the mountains of Luzon. City dwelling Filipinos at that time didn't exactly think of Igorots as "real Filipinos" and to an extent "looked down" on them. The Philippine government was actually involved in exporting them and having them put on display.
I am an Igorot. It breaks my heart when I watch this.
@jisidro100
Brother, I am very sorry for your pain. I know this is very hard to forget.
This is so heartbreaking. You deserve more subscribers.
I dont know what to feel about this, should i be angry or sad or frustrated, or maybe all together, nevertheless history of human is really dark.
As heart-breaking and infuriating it is to watch this as a Filipino, we just have to remember that those were the times. It is important to learn from the ugliness of human history so that we do not repeat our mistakes.
You should tell others you know that are Filipino to Stop the Racism against Blacks ( those they often label as Negro's )! This is happening now in 2023 and although not as Terrible as what's shown in this video, it's SiNister as well because of the Deception that keeps others in believing otherwise! All it could take is the wrong thing to occur to repeat similar atrocities at any time in the future!
Thank you for making this documentary, wish this was taught in our history classes in the U.S.
thank you for watching!
but why so many protesters against Americans including Filipinos
@@neilbonotan8720 what protesters? Where?
Anti-American protest about in military exercise in Philippines
@@neilbonotan8720 yeah there's been a few protests by some Filipinos here in the Philippines for that which I only saw in the news. I heard some of the reasons were that some American service men do crimes or treat the locals poorly or because they're against American colonialism or because they don't want to have a possible target for enemies of America. I'm sure there are other reasons but those are the only ones I've heard about.
I am proud of being Filipino, I use Kali if someone tease me a lot. 😁
uneducated spotted
@@jeshronbalay6547 Racist spotted
Look at the actual state of the Philippines. Are you really proud of it? No one is. There's no such thing like Filipino Pride. It's a bluff that has been created to hide the Filipino complex of inferiority. What really makes Filipino proud is when they imitate white people. If you want to see how Filipinos act when they're really proud, go in a Starbucks café in the Philippines.
@@jean-guynewbrunswick7483 Ya kinda sad state really. Fili worship whites like gods.
What's that? Is that where you try to spank some dude with a piece of bamboo and he just laughs at you? Like a lil chihuahua trying to bite his ankles? Why would you be proud to be any race? It's not like you had any choice or like it's an accomplishment.
Thank you for making this video! I didnt even know about any of this. This is heartbreaking.
I'm Filipino-Tanzanian, God bless you for sharing our history even with such sensitive issues Salamat 🙏❤️
damn, what a superb quality. these kinds of videos and contents is a breather in this platform.
glad you appreciate this :)
Ngayon alam nyo nya kung sino ang kakampi natin o Hindi. Tayong mga Asyano o Africa ang mag tutulungan dahil iisa lang ang bloodline natin
Ladies and Gents.... Once again, The Genius himself THE Bani Logrono. Grabe ka Direk, ginalingan mo na naman!!! Ang husay talaga!!! More more... *slow claps
appreciate it man :)
Whoa, didn't see that coming. Great documentary!
Here from Alamat's Kasmala MV, I'm learning a lot.
Omg same
haha thank you guys!
Samee
@@BaniLogrono if you want to know about ALAMAT kindly check their new song KASMALA by ALAMAT a Philippine pop group, they included this history to their new music video

Hello Bani, I am just discovering your video now and I just wanted to say thank you for sharing this with the world. It is important to learn about your roots and I am forever proud to be a Filipino
grateful that you appreciate this !!
@@BaniLogrono what is your opinion on Racism against blacks in America as well as in the Philippines in this day and age!
I know for a fact from personal experience that Filipinos are extremely Racist and i cannot figure out why with such a history like in this video! No explanation such as it was from the Spanish or this or that reason will justify it to continue! Thanks for bringing awareness of that atrocity!
yesss weekly videos! thank you direk!
Thanks for watching!
I started off feeling angry. Then i saw that little girl... now im just heart broken. Can't believe this actually happened. I also read somewhere that many died from illnesses due to poor living conditions.
thanks for this direk! so informative 🧡 more please.
Very imformative, hope to see more content like this 😊
thanks aaliyaah!
Thank you for this. It shows how resilient the Filipino people are.
I was not aware that this happened. Thank you for this thoughtful my written video essay.
thank you for watching
This story is sad. So for our boring lives back then anything out of the ordinary was noteworthy, including foreign lands and their people. I get that part. But still sad. Human Zoos? I think GREED played a role in that.
Amazing research brothers love this kind of content. For sure will bring value and knowledge to others
To be honest, yung mga ganitong content dapat ang ginagawa ng tagalog version para maunawaan ng ordinaryong mamamayan. Kung gusto mo talagang mag send ng message sa kababayan natin.
Hi MrLangam! Lumaki po sa America husband ko kaya mas naeexpress nya sarili nya in English. But this is well-noted, sa mga ganitong klaseng content in the future, itry namin kumuha ng translator. Thank you sa feedback!
Tsaka we’re also considering din po yung mga Filipinos na hindi Tagalog. Meron din mga Bisaya viewers na mas prefer ang English.
uneducated kasi kaya di marunong mag english
umayus kayu dyan
Hindi dapat kayo basta basta nananawag ng uneducated kapag di msyadu maalam mag-english.
Hindi naman lahat ng Pilipino ay pantay pantay ang previlege sa buhay. 🤨
more video na ganito rekdi 💖

The Philippine government was actually involved in exporting them and having them put on display.
At the end of the day Filipinos are their own enemies. Nothing changed. Same Self-Hate culture than before
What you try to say? What you mean they are not worth to be a human because they are from the mountains and tribals? You nothing more but a racist too.
Interesting...I noted,they were darker skinned too.
Dark skinned people have always bore the brunt of racism 😔
@@emmbaya1595 Facts!!!
Thank you for History information
thank you for watching
It broke my heart as someone who is Igorot.
Nice One Direk! Galing!🙌👏💯
Thanks Paolo!
I cant take it. This is heartbreaking.
uy akala ko Mr. Kaalaman to😅 as always quality content it is!💪
hahaha thank you Eli!
Thank you for this.
thank you for watching !
this is heart breaking.
thankyou bro, you are a life-saver
DURING THE JAPANESE INVASION OF THE PHILIPPINES, GENERAL MACARTHUR WOULD BE AMAZED AT THIS SIGHT: AN IGOROT SOLDIER HANGING AT THE SIDE OF A TANK , NEVER FLINCHING WHILE THERE ARE EXPLOSIONS AROUND , HELPING DIRECT THE DRIVER AND GUNNER TO THE ENEMY POSITIONS.
Uy, may bagong upload. NICE!
Yay thank you
Not only Filipinos indigenous there were a boy name called oto banga a Congolese man who were kidnapped by american missionary and display at human zoo at Bronx, new York.
wow, i never knew this. good video.
glad you learned something!
It’s actually hurting how people both in environments alongside others including different situations around with each peoples, in future generations need unitedly together, so stuffed won’t repeat again
My next topic in my class is all about the Anti-Filipino Colonial Laws during the American colonialization in the Philippines. I found this video as my motivation for my class. I was a little bit angry about this racism. What I admired to those Filipinos living in that era is they NEVER gave up fighting for the freedom of the Philippines after more than 300 years of colonialization of Spaniards.
Filipinos were also enslaved in the US, in cali, Hawaii, and put in zoos in NY, Washington etc. They were also enslaved in mexico for 150 years, which explains why some mexicans have filipino DNA. During that war 200,000-1,000,000 filipino civilians were killed by violence, famine, and disease. It is considered a genocide, google filipino genocide and that information pops up
Did they tell you about all the money and resources the USA gave to the Philippines? And how many Filipinos move in the US every year? I don't understand why you guys like to play the victims so badly.
@@jean-guynewbrunswick7483 Did you also know that Filipinos move in the US to work and not to take a vacation? American wants Filipinos workers because they can pay it low wages. Why you guys cover all the bad things that US made to the PH history? There is no room to argue about the past but to learn in it! US influenced our cultures and traits so I don't see any hole to argue about this matter.
@@jean-guynewbrunswick7483 because we are victims of this stuff, All the stuff you said is obvious and out there while all the bad stuff the US did is swept under the rug. Your white so I know its hard for you to understand since you are not a person of color, your people have never been victims
@@johnyvesperucho2527 I don't know where you got this but that's not true at all. Filipinos have a terrible reputation in America. Nobody wants of them here. There's no purpose to import primitive people with a primitive culture. We're going backward.
Whoah. ❤💔
Still are. I work in Saudi Arabia which has a lot of Filipino guest workers. They have to stay most of their time at work or in their living compound. Their company allows them to return home only once every two years to see their families. The Westerners they work with often use offensive terms to refer to them. (I won't say the words but they're really bad.)
New subscriber here...I'm tisoy and proud pinoy
It weren't just the Philippines whom were put in the zoos. African and tribes from all over the world were put in this Missouri worlds fair. One African boy was put in the Bronx zoo.
Does this somehow make it better?
Until now the Americans look down on Filipinos and having the same mentality...
How are we supposed to take Filipinos seriously?
@@jean-guynewbrunswick7483 deal with it
Don't lose the native culture and be proud of it. I see many performers on TFC/GMA dancing and singing American and Western culture and fads like singing and dancing hip hop etc. Whatever happened to the dancing sticks where you dancing between two taping bamboo/wooden poles without getting your ankles smashed? Don't lose your culture and be proud of it.
Related to this.... What about the people who obsessed with caucasian? i heard that so many filipino (around SEA tho actually) obsessed wanna marry a caucasian/white people to improve their offspring? People wanna be mestizo
Europeans (especially Belgians) did the same with Africans up to 1956...
This kind of human zoo still not disappeared it’s still happening in corporate companies . Only on papers it’s written no discrimination or racism . In reality everything is carried out against innocent people
Wow! 😀😀😀😳😳😳😳😳😳😳I am 17 years old and I am half Filipino and half Irish and Canadian and this is insane!
i think.irish and canadian is same blood
No
Excellent job.
I like this. I must say, though, that what you are advising involves critical thinking skills and a level of compassion that a large proportion of the world are not used to utilizing and accessing.
maybe someday! thank you for watching
@@BaniLogrono Of course! And, thank you for making the video.
FIRST REKDI!!!
quickk hahah
Philippines former American colony for 50 years and many Filipinos migrant to America for work. Philippines and Hawaiia were the same they were belong to American territory back then.
This is just sad. I'm half Filipino. Dad was born in Morong Rizal. Filipinos know your history, we have been slaves and mistreated. People of Color are God's Chosen people. ✝️👑❤️
White isn't a color now. You folks fall for this taught division. No white has ever done anything to you but you need something to hate to feel better about yourself. Every color has bad in their history 🤣 but poc want to focus their blame n hate on whites because tv said to. Repent your peoples wrongs before pointing at others
mapapamura ka nalang talaga. ang sakit sa puso nito!
Oo Talaga :(
Show this to pinoy fans of those damn reaction videos from foreigners.
Would that even change a thing? It's not like they were the ones responsible for their ancestor's garbage past. I'm not defending them at all but with this kind of mindset, prejudice will always prevail. You can't just generalize people just like how you wouldn't want them to generalize us Filipinos.
We're at a time where humans are learning from their pasts and not everything's harsher than it was before. We're being united despite all of our diversities. Don't let this kind of thinking influence our youth if you want racism to end (which I doubt wilk ever end so long as comments like this exist). The key is to view each other as equals, that we are a part of one race. The human race.
I miss this
Depressing history but this is soooo good content
Thanks for this Direk🙌🙌
Thanks for watching sir benj!
Nice narration.
thank you teacher
Alamat brought me here .
If that ain’t exploitation, I truly don’t know what is. 🤦🏻♀️⭐️
Plus, my brother Jade is half-Filipino/half Black, and we have the same dad! 😢🌹
Nakakaiyak!
I work and live with many of these people in the surrounding neighborhood and I gotta tell you, they get treated with disdain.
😮.., More informative films please❤
sure!! :)
@@BaniLogrono yay! ❤
Being a proud veteran and married to a Leyte girl this makes me sick
Grabe.nakakalungkot naman sa mga ninono kong igorots.
So sad 😢
Sad to heard that
I mean, man... Filipinos are kind people why you did something like that to them
ngl wish they would bring back human zoos
More informative, educational, thought provoking content this year please!! 💯
It’s all what we need in today misleading content creator
Noon ito at hindi na dapat payagan ito.
Question please. Are the one who liberated the igorots are also whites?
If anger, rage than hopelessness doesn't trigger, you have failed humanity. Worlds fair was recent. 80 years ago? This is worse than slavery, almost untrue but I will indeed open this page of history ESP since it was in the west of USA. So sad so sleepy.
It's funny cause the US was blaming Hitler of racism while Americans were just as racist if not more
tapos yakap na yakap ngayon ang mga pilipino sa mga kano. shuta
It’s sad that we are still teaching these Darwinistic, human evolution ideas today.
Cruel Humanity so sad😔
Human zoos do still exist today. It's just called social media now.
True, and they do.it.voluntarily
No comparison
Ugh just cried for my people.
🙏🙏🙏
Yeah 100 years ago go keep on bringing it up like it was yesterday buddy
back in your childhood days
@@BaniLogrono lmfao
@@BaniLogrono lmfaoooo
Why are you even here you racist?
its sad on what happened to our ancestors, but we can't blame the people's naive ideologies before and we should never spread hate against them back instead learn from the past and acknowledge that this happened and learn from each other and educate others to stop racism
true :)
i personally disagree, i want to hold grudges. fuck positivity. they treated our ancestors like shit, and till this day our kababayans still experience racism and being blamed for covid. they’re attacking our elders and children. i don’t want to be the bigger person in this situation, colonizers don’t deserve kindness.
@@thelawyerdoggo Indeed
I wonder what happened to the igorot people after these human zoos were abolished. Curious how their life would have been integrating with the US at that time or if the returned to the Philippines first chance they got.
This was the main theme of the musical play St. Louis Loves Dem Filipinos. The story of Datu Bulan, a Bagobo who was shipped to the US for the World's Fair then to a human zoo and what happened after the human zoos were abolished.
Reminds me of Ota Benga.
Research him.
I think we are all able to relate to how we have all become just an object with covid.
Suicide rates have risen due to this.
Can you please connect with me I would like to share my story Bani Logrono
hi you can email me :] banilogrono at gmail
This is why I will NEVER be an immigrant/minority in another country. I don't want to experience racism/discrimination based on my appearance and culture. If you want to become immigrants/minority, be prepared for the racism and prejudice you will face. Racism and prejudice have existed since time immemorial and it will never go away.
Liked*
@madsciontist _ well, that's good for the immigrants. but for me, personally, I don't want to be a minority in another land.
@madsciontist _I also respect Asian/Filipino immigrants' decision to migrate. But i don't understand why they are willing to endure racism, discrimination and other negative stuff just to become US citizens. Fom my perspective, I found stories/videos online from Asian/Filipino American individuals that they always bullied at school for their appearance, insulted as ching-chong-chang, they are alawys seen as foreigners, they don't feel belongingness and acceptance from the majority American community, they don't see positive represenration in the media about them, they became ashamed of their ancestry and don't know much about their communities' history.
@madsciontist _ well it depends on the person. for me, even though I live in a 3rd world country, i never experienced poverty. I have a wonderful and happy life that I am living and best of all, I don't have to adjust/assimilate to the majority population because I am part of the majority. i feel belonginess with the people around me. i feel at home with my own people. i lived abroad for a few years but there's absolutely no place like home. ✌️
@madsciontist _ it depends on your perspective and family history. all of grandparents were also poor but they worked hard so that my parents will have a decent life. but we chose not to migrate because we feel more at home with fellow Filipinos here in the Philippines. If a person chose to become an immigrant or move to another country, I just think they should have the guts to face the challenges ahead like assimilation, prejudice and possible hostility (the recent Asian hate during the pandemic). Psrsonally, I don't want to experience those challenges because me and my family am already in a good and happy spot here in the Philippines, even though we live in a 3rd world country.
😢😢😢😢
well alam ko nayan, yung guro namin tinuro niya sain niyan tapos umiak ako, kayalang yung mga kaklase ko ay nag lalaro lang ng cell phone walang pake
english virsion:
well i already know that, our teacher tought us about it, then i cried, but my classmates didnt care, all they did where using their phone. not a single care
everytime i pass by and see this video it makes me think about how inhuman they can be.....its so damn heartbreaking it only makes me feel angry.... i know its history but damn.... how these white people treated filipinos in those makes me fill with anger.....they colonize and supremacy has really gotten in there thick skulls...aaaarrrrggghhhhhhhh damn it....words arent enough .... it doesnt give any justice how disgusted i am by these,........and it still goes on today which makes it triply heartbreaking....
Interact with filipinos on any MOBA game and you wouldn't be surprised people kept them in zoos. Then again these natives were probably more pleasant and empathetic than modern pinays/pinoys. (And I say this as a filipino before you start a flame war). Also lol at comparing a vlog to watching people forcefully detained in a zoo, made me laugh my backside off and spit out my fanta with that goofy comparison.
The good ole days
Bakit hindi ito tinuturo sa eskwelahan?
It hurts so much because im a Filipino .... Now i understand why other American's are racist to us Filipinos.
Sorry.
🇺🇸🇵🇭
And filipinos are still racists with black people and admire and treat white peoples like gold
@@pedropeter8722 I agree to you but im a filipino and i actually like dark skin because its very unique
Not all filipinos are racist tho 👀
@@Decodeisdead i know not all Filipinos are racists but also not all white people are racist too , I am black guy, from African country , and living in the Philippines for about 5 years , the country is great, I met amazing Filipino people , but the racism is still noticeable, the segregation where people with darker skin are always bullied and belittled
@@pedropeter8722 sorry about that, other filipinos here is actually judgemental and racist if your skin is dark, you'll get bullied by others. This is actually true, some parents herr in the philippines teach their child to be racist but they didnt know if they actually did. Im disgusted by my own people.
Im really sorry about that ☹️
At least they had a place to live
