About Me:
Kirby Pábalan-Táyag Aráullo is a Filipino American historian, content creator, and renowned culture bearer based in California. He is also the author of the groundbreaking book “Black Lives & Brown Freedom: Untold Histories of War, Solidarity, & Genocide,” and the Co-Founder and former Director of Operations for the Bulosan Center for Filipino Studies at the University of California, Davis.
Kirby is a direct descendant of the last indigenous Paramount Kings of Luzon (of both Lakandúlâ of Tondo and Rája Matandá of Maynílâ), of the anti-colonial revolutionary Katipuneros, and of World War II Guerilyeras who fought for the liberation of the islands we now call the Philippines.
Born in Angeles City, Philippines, Kirby spent his childhood amidst the rebuilding of his homeland in the aftermath of Mt. Pinatubo’s cataclysmic eruption. His childhood beneath the shadows of the city’s red-light district, slum neighborhoods, and Clark Air Base (a former U.S. military installation) sparked his lifelong passion in advocating for the rights and the well-being of marginalized and disenfranchised communities. As a direct descendant of revolutionaries, politicos, and activists, Kirby’s upbringing was molded by productively engaging and navigating the realms of advocacy, traditional politics, and grassroots activism.
With a keen interest in varying fields (such as history, public affairs, and filmmaking) and a strong commitment to serving the community, Kirby studied at some of the world’s most prestigious institutions, such as Harvard University, the University of California, Davis, and the Université catholique de Louvain (one of Europe’s oldest universities). He has been teaching Filipino people’s history through writing in indigenous Philippine scripts (Kulitan & Baybayin) for over a decade.
Today, Kirby is well-known for his educationally engaging TH-cam channel where you can find videos about history, culture, and everything in between! He is also currently working on his next big book “Luzones & the New World: Forgotten Histories from Southeast Asia to the Americas” along with an easy-to-read book and zine series known as “Know Our Roots,” and an educational coloring book series called “Color Our Roots.”
Kirby is an educator who is well-rooted in his culture and passionate about his colorful heritage (Kapampángan, Tagálog, Indigenous Áytá, Pangasinan, and Spanish-Basque-Portuguese-Irish Mestizo); he strives to decolonize Philippine history and democratize Ethnic Studies through knowledge and creativity. Kirby is a Dátû and Lakan by blood but an Artist-Scholar-Activist at heart. - บันเทิง

Kung talagang legit kang historian? Ano ang ikinamatay ni lapulapu?
@@donkeysmile4205 parang hindi legit ang mga detalye, halatang basi lang ang iba sa haka-haka at sabi-sabi, sabihin pa namang direct descendant dw sya ng hari ng maynila tapos sa ibang video direct descendant sya nang Spanish aristocratic family na naexile sa Pilipinas, tapos kamaganak daw nya c rizal, inaangat talaga ang sarili para sabihing legit, kulang nlang sabihin nyang direct descendant sya ni king Arthur hahahaha
The Tagalog-Kapampangan "rivalry" reminds me of the Javanese-Sundanese relationship in precolonial Indonesia
It's all "one-sided rivalry", Tagalogs don't even think about Cebuanos, much less about Kapampangans.
@@khust2993that is today's perspective. Before and right after the Spanish imperialism it was the case
Walang issue kaming mga tagalog sa mga kapampangan sa mga bisaya lang dahil sa rivalry
@@khust2993 that's EXACTLY why it's a rivalry - Tagalogs use colonial tools like supremacy against their own people. If there's no rivalry, they you should be able to speak Kapampangan.
@@lakas_tama There is a HUGE issue! That's EXACTLY why it's a rivalry - Tagalogs use colonial tools like supremacy against their own people. If there's no rivalry, they you should be able to speak Kapampangan.

Thank you! 🙏🏽

Fun, I’m an American born and raised in the Philippines 😂
I hope more Filipino Historians will follow your passion to inform and educate young Filipinos around the world with a non biased history of our beloved country. All these western historians seems to focus on the colonialism in the Philippines and strip away our identity and rich culture.
Salamat 😊
You should be the undersecretary of DEPED or Head commissioner of National Commission for Culture and Arts. Your videos really helped a lot of Filipinos to rediscover our roots.
Mali-mali nga eh, pwede sya comedian lol
Kaya na-occupy ng mga Kastila ang Pilipinas kasi matriarchal ang mga Indio, eh crush ng mga babae ang mga Kastila kaya bumigay agad sila, wala nagawa yong mga lalaking Indio dahil sa itsura nila. Likas kasi malalandi ang mga babaeng Indio, inakyat nila yong mga barko ni Magellan ayon kay Pigafetta at open nilang binobosohan yong mga Kastila kung maligo sila. So much so by 1798, ayon sa Spanish census, 50% ng mga natibo ay mestizo na. Ikinilat ng mga Kastila ang tamod nila via the querida system, kaya hanggang ngayon, uso sa mga mayayaman marami kerida kasi pamana yon ng mga Kastila.
Sabagay, okay lang, dumami may itsurang Pinoy ngayon, ang lungkot sana pag di dumating yong mga Kastila
mas malungkot nga na nasakop tayo nila dahil ngayon iba utak natin. naka embed sa utak natin na tayo ay inferior sa mga dayuhan at nakakalimutan natin na we are great people just like them. We are what we think.. kaya tignan mo nangyayari sa Pilipinas.. Anong nangyari sa kingdom of butuan, Tondo, Pangasinan, Mayi na mayayamang kaharian. edi sana ngayon pinagmamalaki natin sila kung may naiwan silang structures and cultures. ngayon ang alam mo lang kasing kultura ay nahaluan na ng kastila. hanggang dyan lang ang alam mo
@@milomilo417 how so?
@Jfransss Nasakop na tayo, marami ang gumanda, salamat sa mga Kastila. Wala namang great sa history natin, ordinaryong mga Datu at raja lang mga yon na tumiklop kaagad nang dumating ang mga Kastila, kasi hindi nga great eh. Wag na tayong mag-imbento. Wala namang malaking gyera nangyari. Yong mga Igorot at Muslim, di naman sineryoso ng mga Kastila mga yon kasi ang focus nila ay ang China trade thru the Manila galleon to Mexico naman ang main revenue driver ng Spanish East Indies based in Manila.
Let's be thankful sa blessing despite the frailties of our ancestors. At least, malalandi ang mga Indio matriarch kaya marami nalahian. At dahil likas talagang malalandi ang mga babae natin, marami pa rin nalalahian hanggang ngayon. Di impyerno sana ngayon dito kung mukhang kargador o lavandera ang level ng itsura natin
I think us Filipinos are hungry of our precolonial histories that were never really taught to us in depth at school
Your history is not interesting to be honest
@@aessedai2739it only seems that way since many of the records and information are just simply gone. but the deeper you go into the rabbit hole the more it becomes clear that there clearly was a rich history that we may never truly know about now.
@@aessedai2739 all history are not interesting to be honest, even the day you were born. This is an honest opinion.
Being a Filipino im really proud to hear the story of our civilizations and ancestors. This is prove and evidence that we have Rich Civilizations and society. This is the evidence of our Identity.
The survival evidence of Civilization of The Tagalog and Pampanga is our unique native Language that we still use today.
FUN FACT : RAJA MEANS KING IN INDIA. TOO, I DONT HOW INDIANS AND PHILIPPINES USING SAME TERM FOR KING, AS I KNOW INDIANS INFLUENCED HIS CULTURE MOST TO ASEAN or south east Asia COUNTRIES.

imposibleng aralin ang precolonial history ng hindi tinatackle yung bagong findings ngayon tungkol sa austronesian migration.
ang sabi sa theory na yon, galing sa taiwan ang mga ninuno natin.
dumating sila sa luzon at nakita ang mga melanesians or aetas.
sa cordillera regions muna sila nagstay.
tapos nagpuntahan pa south.
then pa east and west hanggang umabot hanggang madagascar at hawaii and easter islands and papua new guinea.
sa tingin ko, ang word na lusong ay nqagpapatunay sa austornesian theory na galing sa highlands muna ang mga ninuno natin.
mula sa highlands ng cordillera, nagsipagbaba sila sa plains at kaya tinawag ang mga lowlands na yon na lusong.
at doon din palusong ang mga rivers na galing sa mga bundok...kaya tinawag yun na lusong.
at doon din ang tagpuan ng hanging amihan, hanging habagat, at mga easterly winds, kaya talagang doon papalusong ang mga hangin at tubig at ang gravity galing sa mga bundok.
@@lone_wolf947 Basing from your name, I gues you are Indian. The pre colonial Philippines was reached by budhism thru the srivijaya and majapahit empires based in Sumatra and Java Indonesia. As you stated already, Indian culture was prevalent in these indo-chinese lands(indonesia).
Would love to see a historical movie telling the stories of precolonial Luzon!
a netflix series is also exciting and endless material to pursue..
I was wondering why as many of my ancestors seem to have come from the Kapampangan regions as they were to have come from Batangas or Manila when both of my parents are Southern Tagalog (at least according to Ancestry and 23andMe). Now it makes a lot more sense to know that our Kapampangan and Tagalog ancestors were once united as the Luzones people. This video makes me at least a little more proud to be Filipino, as a whole, and want to learn more about my own Tagalog and Kapampangan roots, alike, since I’ve always felt so detached from our Filipino cultures growing up in Texas.
I also appreciate the videos that highlight how our ancestors historically cooperated and had our own native civilizations spanning Luzon to Mindanao and agree with your point that we should come together, as Filipinos, to reclaim our histories and reverse our colonial mentality and tendencies that highlight our ancestors’ differences, based on ethnic/linguistic divisions, rather than their cooperation, kingdoms, etc. while also embracing the diversity of the Philippines and showing respect to members of all Filipino ethnic groups, not just the major or influential ones.
sadly the leaders of today are more focused on their own personal interest
Your forgetting the cordillera chiefdoms, the and Sambals, and ilocanos. Kapangpangans and tagalos were unite as they are related to one another but it does mean all Luzon were united.
@@kairenaaliyahchua2183 I actually didn’t forget, I just didn’t mention it.
Although we’re all related in the sense that we share the same original ancestors our peoples always had differences, not even all peoples of Northern Luzon got along in the same sense that the (Southern) Luzones people had differences with the nearby Bikolanos and Visayans whose own peoples didn’t always get along (very clear seeing how the Battle of Mactan was quite literally fought between the Datus of Cebu and Mactan).
My understanding of this is, personally, either complicated or enriched, by the fact that I also have ancestors from Northern, Central and Southeastern Luzon as well as Panay and surrounding islands and how, despite even some of them being from modern-day Southern China, Southern India and Yunnan, they did find ways to unite and accept each other regardless of their differences. So, to me, ancestors (regardless of where on the islands or beyond they came from) may not have always been united but we, now, get a chance at uniting our peoples through our ancestors’ shared linguistic heritage, cultural similarities and shared experiences under colonialism and imperialism by the West.
In the same way that our ancestors historically changed ethnic affiliations via intermarriage or migration, future generations will continue to pass down their Filipino heritage and hopefully keep the traditions, practices or beliefs of our ancestors alive. At the same time we also shouldn’t underscore the fact that large cities, such as Manila, Cebu, and even smaller cities like Baguio, attracted people from all over during the times of colonialism and imperialism as well as in the present-day, thus, although most of my ancestors came from areas of the former Southern Tagalog region and Central Luzon, it’s safe to say that many of my non-Tagalog and non-Kapampangan ancestors came to the region due to its proximity to Manila.
At the same time, the Kapampangan are actually more linguistically and culturally closely related to the Sambalic peoples than they were to the pre-Tagalog people who, along with the Bikolanos and Visayans, migrated from northern Mindanao to settle in the regions that their descendants (the majority of lowland Filipinos) now reside, intermixing with existing indigenous peoples, such as the Kapampangan and Sambalic peoples, as well as Aeta, Ati, and Agta peoples. These original peoples conducted what is now linguistically known as the Central Philippine language expansion and, as a result, Tagalog and Cebuano are actually both a part of this same linguistic family.
@@ChristopherFornesa theory lang yan na ang mga tagalog ay ay galing sa northern mindanao may nagsasabi rin na ang mga kapampangan ay galing sa querzon o bicol dahil ang kapampangan at central bicol language ay may mga magkakatulad na salita
@@lakas_tama Kapampangans are not from Quezon and not from Bicol. Also Kapampangans don’t eat spicy foods, and their cuisine is very different from Bicolano food. Kapampangans are from Pampanga.
This part of PH history should be taught more in schools
Not when you promote dictators like Marcos and Duterte. They need to keep the people ignorant and uneducated so you have nothing to fight for (or against).
Luzon also sounds very similar to the word for rice mortar, which can be found in many Austronesian languages, which probably began as *nusung in PAN, but some languages in Taiwan already has the form luzung or lusung. Using the shape of a rice mortar to describe the shape of Manila Bay is actually pretty apt.
Yes, the pronunciation of Luzon is similar with the Tagalog term lusong (rice mortar), same stress as well. During Tomas Pinpin's time in early 1600s, Tagalogs still referred Luzon as Lusong.
From the perspective of China, Luzon including the Bicol peninsula looks like a mortar and pestle.
@@AXimab I think you mean to say from the perspective of space, since prior to the Muslims reaching China, China's maps are notoriously inaccurate.
As mentioned in the video, the name Luzon used to refer to the region and peoples living around Manila Bay, and didn't become the name for the entire island and even adjacent islands until much much later.
It's similar to how Taiwan was the name for the Austronesian people living in region where the Dutch built Fort Zeelandia, and later expanded to include surrounding regions encompassing present day Tainan, and finally became the name for the entire island, forcing the original region to be renamed to Tainan, meaning Southern Taiwan in Chinese.
@@paiwanhan Chinese seafarers would have discovered that the Bicol peninsula was not an island of its own. When did Muslims reach China ?-- as early as the Tang dynasty. The Cantonese and other southern Chinese peoples refer to their country as the "Land of Tang" (rather than the "Land of Han"). The Chinese traditionally saw the world as one with the emperor facing south, and from that perspective you have a long square thing with the Bicol peninsula sprouting from it like a pestle from a mortar. That's all I meant. I don't particularly buy the video's etymology of Lusong (from the perspective facing north, as on most modern maps, the mortar and pestle are upside down). Again we are dealing with mapmaking traditions that do not take literal geographic reality as something to depict but one that depicts time travel distances.
@@AXimab I wonder if you even watched the video, since Kirby didn't give the mortar etymology in the video. I'm simply making a comment on this other take on Luzon's etymology from the perspective of Austronesian Formosan languages. It is exactly because China's map making traditions not only do not take literal geographic reality into consideration that it would be impossible for them to see the whole of Luzon's shape as a mortar. It is more likely that the first people who arrived around Manila Bay saw the shape of the bay on top of nearby mountains and thought the bay itself looks like a mortar.
As an English person living in The Philippines I found this very interesting. I notice that you did not mention the British occupation of Manila (almost 2 years) during the Anglo-Spanish war of the 18th Century. Maybe the short period of occupation before they gave it back to Spain was not long enough to influence the local population. I always have an interest in history and I will save this video for reference and watch it again. Thank you.
I have a series of videos focusing on the British Occupation of Manila 😊

@@KirbyAraullo Salamat! Saved to watch later
We had the wealthiest and most vibrant cultures since our tribal ancestors were renowned merchants and lived our economy through international markets and trade routes, enriching us throughout the ages. But, sadly, the Imperialist Spaniards robbed and deprived us of our Capitalistic and Mercantilist ways by the imposition of the Imperialist-Statist-feudalist regime of the Spaniards. This curse has been ingrained into the societal and political system that made us poor up to this day.
Yeah but then without the Spaniards, Philippines would not exist as well. The islands would be different nations. Each of those nations in an alternate history would be wealthy though.
@@BatAskal I agree, that's the positive side of Spanish Imperialism.
@@LakanSukwo It's difficult for us to separate now since intermarriages took place for a very long time. We are really a Philippine nation and many of us were already born with parents coming from different provinces. However, I do like the idea of federalism but a lot of things must be considered before we get there.
We are bound to be colonized even if the Spanish doesn't colonize us simply because we are weak, a bunch of small Independent Kingdoms can easily be conquered, Even Burma, a great power of Southeast Asia wasn't able to escape this fate. People blame the Spaniards for colonizing us but that's just how the world works, if they don't someone else will, take a look at what the Americans and the Japanese did.
@Lakan Sukwo no, we have already been established as a single nation/country - it's better that we should be constitutionally reformed as a Constitutional Federative country.
This is very well made!
Salamat Sir Kirby, it's nice to see you publish videos again despite your busy schedule!
My pleasure!
Thank you, these are the kind of mini histories I was looking for.
Amazing work! It's invaluable to learn about our precolonial roots. It's all so informative. I'd love to know a bit more about our indigenous first peoples maybe a series about tribal customs throughout the islands. Ifugao, Aeta/Agta etc. Our ancient societies were so complex. It would be interesting to know where the descendants of all these prominent rulers ended up now.
Kirby, maraming, maraming salamat sa iyong pag-iikspleka ng istorya ng ating ninuno. Lalo na yung ikspleka mo tungkol kay Magat Salamat. Siya ang aking ninuno. I am proud to be a Filipino! ✊🏼 I’ve done some extensive research on pre-colonial Philippines. We had a powerful infrastructure long before the Spanish conquistadors came. It saddens me sometimes when I hear my fellow Filipinos only acknowledging the time period from colonization and forward. Our poor conditions back home is a result of ignorance and deep animosity towards our tribal ancestors. Please keep doing what you’re doing to educate and thank you for what you do! 🙏🏼
As always, great information!
Thank you!
I love ancient history and enjoyed your Philippine/Luzon discussion. I subbed and will recommend your channel to many others also.
Looking forward to seeing more of your videos. I have been living in Cebu for many years now.
Awesomeness you nailed it! Thank you for sharing this amazing knowledge and truth ❤🙏🏾💙
This. is. wow! Salamat, sir Kirby!
Informative, nice
Hello, Sir Kirby Araullo. Your videos are so amazing and very informational. There are many things from our history that haven't been tackled or shared inside the classrooms that you have had discussed and hence, thanks to you, Sir. I hope that many Filipinos will become aware and well educated towards the reality about our own culture and history. Just a suggestion, I'm also looking forward to see you having videos about the difference between the Filipino and Tagalog language in which the majority of us and even foreigners apparently have confusions about which is which and how are they differ from each other. Thanks, more power and God bless! 🤗☺️
What is the "Filipino" Language to you? Isn't that a euphemism for Tagalog?
Packed with fun such information! Great Content!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Keep it up bro I wish you’re book will reach the public schools..
Bravo! You are the historian Filipinos need! Congrats.
Salamat 😊
Dakal salamat Kirby! Amazing content and very inspiring and informative. I don’t remember much of the pre colonial history from school - hope they would put more of this in our history books. Would be great to create an illustrated history of pre colonial Philippines like that of the GRRM game of thrones books. Thank you.
digging the chibi art. keep up the good work!
Thank you for this. Very informative. Glad to see someone preserving your history. What are your sources?
Thank you. The list is posted on the pinned comment 😊
Mabuhay! Maraming salamat po! This is so interesting! I'm so proud to be a philipino and finally learning my roots as a philipino is amazing and it makes me proud to be one! I grew up in America but my roots is from the Luzon area. My mom can speak and understand Kapampangan while my dad forgot how. I hope one day I can visit my family. I would love to learn more about this topic and hopefully learn the language and roots of the Kapampangan!

The Cebuano-speakers in the Visayas & Mindanao number by the millions. The idea of a Mindanao Republic as mentioned by ex-Pres. Digong (a Cebuano) could lead to the Bis-daks joining it and form a Bisayà Federal Republic. If that happens then the Tagalogs, etc. of Luzon and other non-Bisdak speakers of the Vis-Min area could then form some sort of a "Ladrones Republic" (whatever that means), at least to discard that colonial-sounding "Republic of the Phils." (if u don't mind).

They intermarried... a lot. They are like the English and Scots. They are different yet very similar.
Yup!
Yeah Tagalog is very different from Kapampangan, Tagalog is closer to many Visayan & Mindanao languages than Ilocano or Kapampangan despite being the same island
@@balistab1125 i thinks it's Austronesian language, because the tagalog, visayan and mindanao languages is almost similar to malay and bahasa indonesia
FUN FACT : RAJA MEANS KING IN INDIA. TOO, I DONT HOW INDIANS AND PHILIPPINES USING SAME TERM FOR KING, AS I KNOW INDIANS INFLUENCED HIS CULTURE MOST TO ASEAN or south east Asia COUNTRIES.
@@user-ce9kc9pm9g its opposite kapampangan and ilocano sounds like malay than tagalog because tagalog sounds like javanese
Pinoy in Florida. Pretty good English version. That's good, it will make it easier for other people worldwide to understand the history
This kind of videos is very nice to see specially to the Araling Panlipunan Teachers. 😍👏🏼🥰
Hi , and thanks , as an Australian found this really interesting as is much south-east Asian history and connections. Just a beginning but love it.
Thank you!
Very good research Thad nks
Thank you!
awesome vid
Salamat young historian Kirby! Mabuhay!
Can you make a video that tackles all pre colonial kingdoms/chiefdoms in the Luzon island? And did they ever interacted?
Thank you Kirby. This should be taught in our primary and higher learnings. This knowledge would give us identity we should be proud of. And not the identity of a defeated, conqueredand colonized people.
Kaya na-occupy ng mga Kastila ang Pilipinas kasi matriarchal ang mga Indio, eh crush ng mga babae ang mga Kastila kaya bumigay agad sila, wala nagawa yong mga lalaking Indio dahil sa itsura nila. Likas kasi malalandi ang mga babaeng Indio, inakyat nila yong mga barko ni Magellan ayon kay Pigafetta at open nilang binobosohan yong mga Kastila kung maligo sila. So much so by 1798, ayon sa Spanish census, 50% ng mga natibo ay mestizo na. Ikinilat ng mga Kastila ang tamod nila via the querida system, kaya hanggang ngayon, uso sa mga mayayaman marami kerida kasi pamana yon ng mga Kastila.
Sabagay, okay lang, dumami may itsurang Pinoy ngayon, ang lungkot sana pag di dumating yong mga Kastila
amazing telling of history.
So glad this was recommended to me by TH-cam.
At the landing spot on Morro Bay, there is a beautiful plaque signifying this event! Iirc, placed by the Fil-Am historical society. Hope more Filipinos visiting the area will seek it out (comes with a fabulous close-up view of Morro Rock too..)
I really love your content po Mr. Kiby lalo na po kung pre-colonial history❤️ More power! Mabbalo nga aru!
Nice content.
Solid to. Salamat!
Hay, ang Galing, sana madami pang Historian natin ang maka gawa ng ganitong video's
I’m kapampangan and when I was in Indonesia, I was surprised to recognize a lot of the Indonesian words I was hearing as kapampangan. Particularly numbers and counting are identical. I couldn’t see any study about it online except for one anecdote of a kapampangan who was brought to Indonesia by the Spaniards and upon reaching a river was able to understand and converse with the locals. I think this connection should be studied further. Did the Indonesian’s language come from Kapampangan or was it the other way around?
Ang kapampangan ay parang similar sa malay ang tagalog naman ay sa javanese
Fun fact: the Mardjiker community of Jakarta had Kapampangans as one of their ancestors when the Dutch recruited soldiers for military purposes when the Philippines was still a Spanish colony and Jakarta was a Dutch colonial port.
try to watch the Indigenous tribes of taiwan here in youtube(indigenous bridges) they are autronesians
As a person with Kapampangan and Tagalog roots, this is very valuable information.
I wish that mainstream media would create movies or tv series about pre colonial era. Now Pinoys are only familiar about Joseon era, royals from Eurooe, Samurai/Ninja, Cowboys and so on.
Like what’s stopping them from taking an idea like “Samurai Champloo” and doing it during a colonial-era Philippines?
Thanks for the video my grandfather was Tagalog from cayagan valley mabuhay
Here's a video I made about the Battle of Cagayan where Kapampangan and Tagalog warriors fought victoriously and as a reward they were given land to settle in the Cagayan Valley.

Salamat!!!
Heya! Could you cover the short history of the Self-Proclaimed Emperor of Philippines, Andres Novales? I came across it after looking for an alternative history. It would be great to hear your thoughts about it.
Kirby, I'm with you. I think we Filipinos have more sources leaning to the west. So maybe when you say that Lusog did not fall quickly but gradually, include some hard sources. So whenever I hear someone say the opposite, I can quote you and a source and set the record straight then and there. But yeah, please keep churning out contents like this. This stuff is what we lack as Filipinos and why our historical identity in our minds is the 2nd class citizen from the colony of another kingdom.
thank you teacher Kirby
Salamat!
Hi Kirby. I appreciate your videos. Where to buy that clothing you wear and is that a kapampangan traditional clothing? If not, do we have one? Thank you🙂
My dad was born in Morong Rizal, Salamat. God bless ✝️🇵🇭💯
Your Portuguese pronunciation is spot on. Salamat po. From 🇵🇹
Muito obrigado!
Finally a pinoy made content that actually matters🧐
Good job sir
Maraming salamat 😊
Thanks as usual for putting Philippine history altogether 😮 Cheers from Ireland 🇮🇪
Magsukul! Dakal a salamat! 🙏🏽

Wow, I just discover your channel and I am really impressed, it's so good.
In a few words, I am French, I live in Belgium and I have been travelling in many countries in Europe, and Africa. After what I can call my private life !!!! I met a wonderful Pilipina in Leyte for almost 4 years now and I have always considered as a duty to understand and learn about geography and history of any country I have lived. This is why I am so amazed byt the dynamism and the way you explain Philippines' History.
Well of course I subscribed :)
Very soon I will take time to watch the other videos
A last word to tell you that I have always considered any kind of colonialisme as a crime !
Maraming salamat po
Merci beaucoup! 😊
I'm curious to find out where are the descendants of Raja Matanda, Raja Suliman and the Lakans are now. They are technically the royal bloods of Luzon in our recent time.
Hiii, we’re here, we still exist 👋😊
I am a direct descendant of Raja Sulayman,. Which later on changed to Soliman. I believe my great grandfather is from a strong Majapahit influenced Kingdom who ruled Tondo. My great great grandfather is a Soliman from Vidak, Bicol. Which is said to be from the Moro Pirates.
Sir Kirby Araullo can you make ebook ? Ebooks are now popular in USA and Europe
Thanks 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭Good to know💙💙💙🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Salamat! :)
I love your contents😍
Amazing, enlightening and very interesting video! It never occurred to me that watching a single video from you will give me so much information about my ancient roots. To my complete surprise, you have some merchandise with my family name "GALURA" embossed in them! All I know is that, our family name is from an Indonesian word for a big bird (if I'm not mistaken). More power to you.
Thank you! :)
Here's a video about the various dragons in Philippine Mythologies, you can skip to 15:20 mark for the part about Galura. th-cam.com/video/ZEa-zZyqV_E/w-d-xo.html

Galura is a Kapampangan pronounciation from the Sanskrit "garuda" which is a mythical bird. Garuda is also an Indonesian/Malay word
I would like to know more about the Philippine precolonial warfare particularly with gunpowder. You hosted a online conference on Philippine martial tradition months ago and while blades, sticks and FMA were heavily discussed not much attention was given to guns and other gunpowder weapons. Perhaps a video highlighting this and the Kapampangan arcebuseros would be good for this. Are there any sources discussing this?

The precolonial Tagalogs of the Pasig River delta were said, by the Spaniards who first arrived in the area, to prefer and were interested in doing business and trading rather than warfare and piracy like the Moros of Sulu and Mindanao.
Kapampangan kasi sya kaya magigigng bias sya sa lahi nya
Precolonial Tagalogs and kaoamoangans were both engaged in trade. The goods from China and others parts of Asia arrive in what is now Manila Bay and transported by traders via Pampanga river. Kapampangans then sell those goods up north. As such, many Chinese pottery artifacts were also dug up in Candaba, Pampanga. Precolonial Filipinos in Mindanao also enagage in trade with our neighbors in what are now Indonesia and Malaysia. Some Spanish accounts can also be biased and are used to divide and conquer us.
@@hanzkins6732 There were some oral legends about raiders. Of course, the raiders would trade slaves too, and of course Brunei, Maynila, Demak, Malacca, Magindanau, and Sulu would be beneficiaries from those raids then. There were records of Spaniards using the Panay Visayan soldiers to invade Manila in the Battle of Bangkusay. Philippines from Pampanga, Katagaluguan, Palawan, Panay, Cebu, Bohol, Lanao, Butuan, and Sulu have some rather prominent links with Brunei, Java, Southeast Sulawesi, and Sumatra. Lanao and Bohol had trade links with Moluccas.
@@hanzkins6732 Ahem, it was documented by the Spanish missionaries that the Moros to the south would pirate and ravage the Catholic Filipino villages in the Visayas. The Moros would take the Catholic Filipinos as slaves since it was against their Islamic religion and Sharia to enslave another Muslim. The Laws of the Indies instituted by King Phillip II of Spain forbade any indios from being slaves since pre-colonial Filipinos were practicing slavery from their raids and conquests before the Spanish came.
@@lakas_tama low key mike pangilinan yung historian 😅
This is really interesting. I was wondering what connections Brunei and Luzon had after receiving my ancient DNA results showing Bruneian Dusun results and Northern Philippines results 🤔 THANK YOU for your videos, I love watching and learning about our people!
Ancient Filipinos have Bornean origin from the families of 10 Datus who migrated the Islands of Panay( Visayas), Luzon and Mindanao to escaped the Tyrant King of Borneo with households using the Balangay ,an ancient sea vessel craft!
Moreso; the archipelagos of Modern day Philippines was part of Sri-Visayan Madjapahit Empire and the Sultanate of Sulu and North Borneo, the south Western part of the Philippines Island Country!
hello kirby how can i order your books?
We had a very colorful and rich history. I hope kids today are able to understand our history and embrace our true identity.
Dacal a salamat kapatad for this very informative videos.❤❤❤
Thank you so much for your comment! I'm really glad you found the videos informative and I appreciate your support. It's important for us to preserve our history and pass it on to future generations. Dacal mu namang salamat!
nice to learn ur an Araullo too
Thanks!
Could you do an episode on Filipino baseball legend Adelano Rivera? I would love to hear his story from a Pinoy perspective.
To be Honest I am Ilocano but I don't have any idea of the history of Ilocanos before the Hispanic occupation. I'm so curious because Ilocanos are dominated in Northern Luzon. Almost 50% of land area of Luzon is occupied by Ilocano speakers.
Can you pls do also a video for the history of Ilocanos.
Ilocanos only started spreading out more to the rest of N. Luzon during the Spanish & American era, same with many Visayans in Mindanao now
Yes, the precolonial history of Samtoy (Ilokos), Caboloan (Pangasinan), and Ibalon (Bikol), and Sambales is usually pushed to the wayside for the history of the Lúsung.
@@sykeraid4944 I’m also interested in finding out more about the history of other peoples in Luzon since I have a bunch of relatives on my mother’s side that are fully Pangasinan or Ilokano while my father’s family have been on the Bondoc peninsula, very close to the Visayas and Bikol, for as long as they can reasonably trace their roots.
@@ChristopherFornesa
Some things I can say about Bikolanos was that the region was called “Ibalon” before Spain’s arrival.
Precolonial mga Bikolnon had the same body modifications (pierced penises and gauged ears), the near-exact same tattoo styles as the Bisayans. And the Bikol language has a lot of martial vocabulary.
By “martial vocabulary”, I mean that the Bikol language is noted to have the most extensive vocabulary for arms, armament, and military tactics when compared to other languages in the Philippines. Even the Spanish noted they lost more men in Bikol than other regions of the kapuluan.

imposibleng aralin ang precolonial history ng hindi tinatackle yung bagong findings ngayon tungkol sa austronesian migration.
ang sabi sa theory na yon, galing sa taiwan ang mga ninuno natin.
dumating sila sa luzon at nakita ang mga melanesians or aetas.
sa cordillera regions muna sila nagstay.
tapos nagpuntahan pa south.
then pa east and west hanggang umabot hanggang madagascar at hawaii and easter islands and papua new guinea.
sa tingin ko, ang word na lusong ay nqagpapatunay sa austornesian theory na galing sa highlands muna ang mga ninuno natin.
mula sa highlands ng cordillera, nagsipagbaba sila sa plains at kaya tinawag ang mga lowlands na yon na lusong.
at doon din palusong ang mga rivers na galing sa mga bundok...kaya tinawag yun na lusong.
at doon din ang tagpuan ng hanging amihan, hanging habagat, at mga easterly winds, kaya talagang doon papalusong ang mga hangin at tubig at ang gravity galing sa mga bundok.
Wow this could be a great source for the new civilization in Age of Empire 4. I hope devs would see this gets some ideas.
I see, that's how Pampanga became capital of all the capital of the Philippines. Nevertheless, I just love how beautiful those chibi illustrations used
Hi Kuya, I'd like to request any references at 18:09-15:36 and 17:13-19:25 about the navigation from the Philippines to the Americas. Also, I'd like to learn more about the relationship between the Spanish and Pre-Colonial Filipino sailing and navigation in regards to the colonization of Meso-America's Mayas and Aztecs. Thank you, and awesome work on the video!!
galing!
Salamat!
Nice videos very informative! Any chance you can do a video about our ancestors who were Islam followers during the 14th century and how until this day the people of Mindanao have never been conquered by anyone. Would love to see your point of view on that.
Sir, can you please tackle the indigenous architecture and clothing of luzon that we had before? Like the significance and stuff like that.
I do love to see this!
Tingnan mo na lang ang boxer codex
@@lakas_tama yun gawa ng mga kastilya? 😂
@@StickyKeys187 lol saan ka kukuha ng reference ? Malamang sa mga kastila kasi sila ang nakakita sa mga ninuno natin sila din ang nagdocument ng mga pamumuhay ng mga sinuanang pinoy sige maghanap ka ng actual picture kung talagang magaling ka
@@lakas_tama porma porma lang 😂 kain ka ng pan de sal medyo mataas yata ang blood pressure mo. Tama ka naman tungko sa mga kastilya eh. Sila nga ang nagdocument. Feliz navidad! 😂
Baby kirvs anu po magandang suggestion ng tattos pang babaylan designs!!
Sir Kirby, I was wondering what historical place do the Ilocanos have in Pre-Colonial Philippines?
We are all Filipino we should respect n honor each other always love each other protect our country for any European or American always remember our history.
Wow Good Job Kapatad
Salamat! :)
Do you have any information of Iloilo or just Panay in genera?
Hopefully you could also do something like this for Ilokanos
I find Filipino history so fascinating what a vibrant culture especially pre colony. With their fleets how did they get conquered so easily?
Because ph before is not unite with different tribe that's why its easily invade by spaniards ,every tribes are enemy
Thank you!
it's interesting how you pronounce Pampanga like [pampangga] and Luzon like, well [luzon] with a voiced [z], even though even today the letter Z in Spanish is not pronounced as a voiced [z], through the process called devoicing back in the 16th century.
What I read before it was 1968, I read Butuan City was the first merchandising city of Spaniards and Chinese, wherein a logging industry was introduced by Spaniards and Chinese occupants, I read at the Thomas Jefferson Library in New Manila, Quezin City that was 1968...
