About KIRBY:
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

I'm from Mexico, I love your content. I think México and the Philippines have much in common, both are culturally rich and diverse nations that still have to reflect in their history and the social and political consequences of colonialism that persist in our days.
In summation, conquerors only really conquer that which they see as profitable. The Catholic church saw people as profitable and the Spanish saw gold, trade, ports, and shipping lanes.
Confession... this video (and series) was supposed to come out back in 2022 ! But life offline got in the way 😅
Wala prablema bro. Nindoot kaayo your content!
Pls do about Igorots, because many Filipinos assumes them as Chinese because of their Slanted eyes... Wich is not true... Iam ilocano and many of my friends are Igorots. That's why i research of their origin, then it shows thats they are the purest Austronesian tribe of Philippines with DNA PATERNAL HAPLO O1A 90-99% wich is very austronesian derived DNA paternal... That's why they retain their mongoloids features unlike us lowlands Filipinos have intermix to other older people here such as negritos, thats results our slanted yet more rounder eyes now as lowlands Filipinos
no, you can tell many low landing filipinos are very similar looking to igorots, lowlanding filipinos are still very much autronesian and you can tell, this whole thing that we got mixed with people is not true, only about 20-25% of filipinos have some chinese ancestry and about 8-10% are mixed euorpeans, most are still austronesian, and igorots dont have slanted eyes like chinese do, theyre more rounded, just search up howw a chinese person looks and search igorots, worlds apart
@@biotyf4665pure austronesian, pure Austroasiatics were mongoloids race. When they migrated to South East Asia they intermix to Negritos. That's why South East Asians mongoloids have different phenotype compare to mongoloids race in East Asia... There is nothing wrong with that. That's the reality
@@biotyf4665 I've been to Cordillera. And many of my friends still very Mongoloids in feature... Indeed some of them were have also admixture of negrito because of back to mountains migration
I am reading Guillermo Gomez Rivera's "The Independent History of Ylongo and Cebuano Visayans". Rivera is a "hispanista" who posits that these people resisted cooperation with the Katipunan , on the behalf of Spain, and in anticipation of American invasion, until after the Treaty of Paris. Clearly the diversity of indigenous cultures and political units resisted and concreted with Spanish, American, and Filipino rule. I live in Southeast Iowa, and my daughter-in-law is from Cebu City.
visayans might have been unreceptive in creating KKK chapters in their provinces but that eventually reversed once Aguinaldo was exiled after Biak-na-bato treaty. just around 1 year after the start of the revolution.
So excited for the future stories!
Salamat! Actually, me too haha, I can't wait to share more stories with you in the future. Stay tuned!

Wow, another fantastic video from Yang Amat Mulia Pengiran Datu Kirby!
im back to watching you Kirby, straightforward discussionsv. no annoying giggles peace ☺️
I'm Bohalano proudly Visayan Descent....
People don't know that Spanish rule in the Philippines was due more to diplomacy than to the armed forces, unlike the Japanese and the Americans, the Spanish never sent their royal army to the Philippines, the Filipinos were their army, it's so like that. that in the 300 years of Spanish rule in the Philippines there were barely 3000 Spaniards on the entire island, that is, almost nothing, these 3000 Spaniards had to make agreements and negotiations with the natives to make them see that the rule of the king of Spain was better For them, they accepted it, obviously there were military campaigns to conquer by force by the Spanish, but these VERY USUALLY were made up of thousands of Filipino allies, but these often failed because the Indians resisted a lot, it is so that the The island of Mindanao was never conquered by the Spanish, the Spanish kept the Philippines almost by miracle, when the Spanish stopped making agreements with the Filipino elites that satisfied them and began to do things that were increasingly authoritarian, they lost many allies, in the end this ended up exploiting them. in the face and were defeated, but at least both the Spanish and the Filipinos treated each other with honor, as in the Spanish of Baler, in which the Spanish garrison surrendered with honor to the Filipinos and withdrew.
They also brought some of their mesoamerican allies
Spain didn't just conquer us by the sword, but with religion and culture too. Some, if not, most Spanish friars/priests were essentially the eyes and ears of the Spanish garrison, hence many Protestant churches in the Philippines arose.
I think the Visayans & the Spaniards know that they needed each other. The Visayans had enemies from both end, the Moro from Mindanao & the kingdom of Luzon. And the Visayans saw the advantage of having guns & canons. On the other hand, the Spaniards know that Visayans are fierce warriors and in great numbers. So the Spaniards recruited them as foot soldiers and probably promised them of freedom and other things.
Not all Visayans, only Ilonggos served them over 300 years.
@@halfevilhalfgood2206 that maybe true but then again Ilonggo are known Warriors. I’ve known Ilonggo people that fought the Moros during Marcos era and that Moros feared them. That’s why there’s so many Ilonggo in Southern Mindanao. By the way, Cebu is the center of Spanish settlement in Visayas.
@@lapulapubloodline4126that's why a lot of AFP men especially in the Army were ilonggos.
Your comment is the most simplistic yet accurate description of the relationship and state of the Visayans and spaniards in the early days of the colonization
@@halfevilhalfgood2206 you should know that during the conquest of the spaniards in luzon they brought Cebuano Visayans with them along with some aztec warriors
You can check the documented accounts of a tagalog or kapampangan settlement besieged by the spaniards and surrounded by the visayans though I forgot if it was a tagalog settlement or kapampangan but it was recorded
Hello kirby. Im a big fan of yours. I hope you can make a video about the maragtas, the 10 datus of borneo aguinid and fake histories propagating in our history books.
Hello sir I want to ask if there's an epidemic recorded in our pre-colonial history? Thank you in advance
Not that I know of, but it's worth digging deeper. A very interesting topic for future videos. Salamat!

Interesting, i have a big family in both Cebu and Samar and they all speak Bisayan. I was really just curious about the difference in the language, but did not know all of this rich history behind it and here i thought Lapulapu was just a MLBB character😂.

If I understand the information correctly, Yang Amat Mulia Pengiran Datu Kirby is saying that the Visayas managed to maintain a degree of independence from Spanish direct control because Spain redirected their efforts towards conquering Luzon?
to picture our the visayan geopolitical landscape, they recognize the spanish authority but there are very few spanish settlers in the area. cebu has to be demoted from a city into a mere town because the number of spaniards in the city was fewer than the number of seats for councilors.
evangelization also made the christianized filipinos into less-warlike and they are susceptible to raids from their muslim and animist neighbors. in a way visayans have learned to fend for themselves but they are still under subservient to the spanish.
and spanish efforts for spreading catholicism to all territories of the spanish east indies except luzon are centered in cebu. that includes guam among many spanish islands east of the philippines. that is why the second canonized filipino saint was killed in guam as it was still part of the diocese of cebu at that time.
I don’t think I’ve ever heard “tapestry” used as a metaphor so much. Might suggest communicating directly without the awkward use of flowery language redundantly.
he's usiing ChatGPT
try delving more into the Visayan revolt against Spain. Here in Negros Occidental, we still commemorate Cinco de Noviembre when the Spaniards were ousted here in 1898.
And the first revolutionary of pre colonial Philippines Dagohoy of bohol
Hi Kuya Kirby. I'm glad the Visayas is represented in your channel. But do you think there was some form of empire or centralized government pre colonial Philippines? I've seen people representing the Kingdom of Tondo occupying much of Luzon. I wonder what their government was. Was it centralized? Was it a confederation? How did Tondo bring the entire Luzon under their rule. Conquest? Diplomacy?
What about the Islamic kingdoms in Mindanao?
Tondo’s territory only reached central luzon they never occupied the entire island and mindanao was never islamic only the western part of it the rest was occupied by lumads and visayans in eastern mindanao
@@justice_crash2521 oh. that's interesting. Where do you get these resources.. What's the general religion of Visayas and eastern Mindanao then, Buddhism? Hinduism? Native religion?
@@woodykusaki9970 yes a mixture hindu/buddhist and animist
Ah. I see. Thanks
Hi Kirby sorry of topic, I'm just curious about our country during Napoleonic war, because I think france conqured spain that time, the curious part is, could had been the philippines was liberated by our ancestors that time?
Philippines during King Joseph Bonaparte's Reign actually was represented in Spain for the first time.
@@razorsharpview9090 so meaning Spain under King Joseph was just a puppet Kingdm to france? and the situation of Philippines was like french indochina during WW2 when Hitler's Nazi conqured france?
Cebu, Bohol and Panay are not conquered since they started already as vassals of Spain thru Blood Compact. Unlike Manila, which has to be subjugated thru fierce battle with Visayans and Spain. The Visayans also did a major role in the Moro wars and also in the Christianization of the Mandaya people in Davao and Caraga region.
No blood compact happened in Panay, only formal alliance.
Great Presentation!!! What I can recommend though is try to make your explanations less vague and more simplified, for example you can simply point out that the Spaniards controlled the Visayans mainly through pacts and religion, not totally through persecution such as what mainly happen in Luzon, in other words through the Spaniards point of view, Luzon is their Slave, Visayas their Ally, and Mindanao is their enemy.
Is there any scholarship on how much Spanish migration to the Philippines actually occurred? The pop theories that I've heard suggest the Philippines was more of a trade waystation into Asia versus the settler-colonial projects in South and Central America, which is why those regions were so heavily "Latinized" culturally and ethnically compared to the Philippines. But I'm curious whether the extreme depopulation of the Americas by the Spaniards played a role as well.

As your Cebuano fan, you have validated my speculation of Hispanic Visayas. Good Job.👍

sana history naman ng bicolandia po sir kirbiy hihi ❤
I read somewhere that when the spaniards asked a bicolano his name and his realm he(bicolano) identify himself as a visayan and then stated his name
To note, there is a big possibility that the Spanish friars (Augustinians and Jesuits) might have also been well-loved by the Visayans, in contrast to the abusive friars in Luzon. There are though a few instances of rebellion due to some instances of abusive priests (which can be considered an exemption) to the general well-loved priests. This is why I think the Visayas has for long been cooperative with the Spaniards since I see the Visayans as more readily retributive when offended.
I really appreciate you taking the time to provide such detailed insights. It's always fascinating to delve into historical discussions and consider different perspectives. The relationship between the Spanish friars and the Visayans is definitely a topic worth exploring further. Daghang salamat! 🙏🏽

@kirbyAraullo I really think you should do a deep dive into HOW the Spanish ruled the Philippines BECAUSE you will find that for 250 years of the 333 years of Spanish colonialization, the majority of "Spaniards" were NOT from Spain!!! They were coming from Nueva Espana, what we know today as Mexico, and the Philippines asorbed more from Nueva Espana rather than directly from Spain. For 250 years, the Galleon Trade, was the ONLY way Spain was linked to the Philippines and they weren't sending many Spanish people from Spain. Spain made Mexico City the administrator of the Philippines and the MAJORITY of "spanish" people were coming from Nueva Espana and from some of the other colonies. Pure Spaniards in the Philippines for 250 years were very few and were only in leadership positions. Filipinos were being shipped to the western coast of Nueva Espana and were running off into the hills there and mixing in with the locals.
What ia Different between maguidanao bisaya tagalog in the same time
The main difference between Maguindanao, Bisaya, and Tagalog is that they are different languages spoken by different ethnic groups in the Philippines. Each language has its own unique characteristics, vocabulary, grammar, etc. I hope that answers your question 😊
@@KirbyAraullo oh that's was Surprisingly My Mother was Bisaya and my Father was Tagalog May halong dugo ako sa mga magulang ko
Sabi ng yumaong lola ko, mga Katsila ay lahat under the saya sa bayan nila. ❤😅🤣🤣🕊️

They converted
but still the spaniards took the lands from the visayans and send them to die in mindanao along with other colonial troops at the hands of the fierce Lumads and the powerful Moros this is very evident if you read the whole history of the spanish-moro wars very detailed from the mid 1500s until the early 1900s from spanish rule to the american rule(the moro rebellion)
Don't forget the Cordillerans who managed to keep themselves out of full Spanish control.

USC was never called by a Spanish name "Universidad de San Carlos" since it only became a university in 1948. The school founded in 1595 was Colegio de San Ildefonso , and not USC. These two institutions are distinct from each other.

Tausug is also Bisaya, and Datu is Malay/Austronesian word. Bisaya is also Malay.
We should definitely take note that some ethnic groups in Kabisaya were not totally brought under the Spanish colonial umbrella either politically nor spiritually.
People like the Ati (Negritos), Panay Bukidnon (“Suludnon”), and the Magahat of Negros still maintained their precolonial religious traditions completely out of the influence of the Church almost like the peoples of the Cordilleras. Although little Catholic influences would enter due to prolonged contact with colonized lowlanders.
as a Bisaya, I'm literally shock on this narrative... My ancestors are so tough af...
Dunno but I see way more mestizo people among Visayans.
This video roughly covers the period from the 1560s-1750s. What happened after is another chapter not yet covered in these videos 😊
some Visayans especially in Panay have Royal blood from Borneo.
As I for me, I see more mestizos in Luzon than Visayas especially Manila
Funny how everybody are claiming to be mestizo when majority of the population are from Austronesian descent. Stop that colonial mentality you guys 😆

I don't think so because they have Chavacano language a Spanish creole in Zamboanga if you are not aware. Zamboanga is the Asian latin city because of Chavacano language and Spanish influences as well
@@kimmyDaYang If I remembered correctly, Chavacano creole was formed because of trade.

I would like to share here Galleon Trade was with Talolora (Mapno) and Gamay Bay Natural ports in Palapag, Samar...the northern tip of the Island of Samar before reaching the PORT OF CAPUL in the way for Sangley Point in Cavite, there is a historical records of labor of polo when the Spanish left for permanency of Galleon Trade port in Cavite... I believe there is no connection of Biliran as port in the Pacific of Galleon Trade...

Spain didn't took hold of the Visayas region for long. That's why they transferred their seat of government in Intramuros Manila.
Spanish didn't need to fight against Visayans if they were alr under banner of Spanish. just read about "Bood Compact Ritual" between Visayans and Spaniards.
@@ColoniaMurder20 They made deals that seemed beneficial to both parties. If anyone think that their traitor's, truth is that they are not. At that time the country Philippine wasn't even a concept yet.

spaniards never conquered the philippines. and philippines was a never a colony, though they use that word misleadingly. the spaniards define philippines as a territory. they never fought the people for it. if they did it would be 1000 to one. no way are the spaniards gonna win that war. what happened was blood compact. the significance of that is that it made the spaniards one of us. that means they are brothers from a different mother. philippines also at that time was a warring tribe. they were fighting amongs each other, and that was just convenient for the spaniards. as long they are fighting each other they are not fighting me. there problem was the moros, as you can see the moros were a united tribe. luckily for the them they have an endless supply of man power thanks to the blood compact with the natives. so the moros were fighting the spaniards and filipino natives which gave the spaniards an edge to beat the moros.
Bisaya people were smart enough to used Spanish to fight their fight against Tagalog and Muslim came from Borneo with their expansionism in Visayas Region.
Why?
@@earlnovero8208because tagalogs and moros are enemies of bisayans
@@earlnovero8208takot sila diyos ayun unang panakot nila
BISAYA LANG MALAKAS
Because the Tagalogs were a powerful force before the coming of the Spaniards. The Pintados tried many times to raid Manila, but they always fail, because Manila was a walled fortification since the 12th century A.D. and when the Spaniards arrived, the Pintados took the opportunity to ally with the Spaniards, and due to the superior firepower of the Spaniards, they were able to conquer Manila. Pintados think that the Spaniards will allow them to own Manila after the conquest, but they were wrong. It remained Tagalog majority until independence and today. That's why many people from Cebu are so bitter against Manileños right now, because they helped Spaniards to conquer Tagalogs, but they didn't get any benefit from it.
USC was not founded in 1595 and should not be associated with Colegio de San Ignacio
Maybe the Visayan Aswangs are stronger than European Vampires/Werewolf that is why Visayas are not completely conquered 😂

Who Cares Whether The Spaniards Conquered the Bisayans Or Not ... Bottom Line. Is that the Philippines Was Colonized by The Spaniards For at least Four Hundred Years .. Get it ???
The real truth about Spanish colonialization is that it was from about the 1520s to the late 1800s AND from about the 1560s to 1821, during the Galleon Trade years, pure Spaniards from Spain were very few in number in the Philippines. The Spaniards made Nueva Espana (Mexico) rule the Philippines during the Galleon years, so the majority of "Spanish" people coming to the Philippines were from Nueva Espana, what we know today as Mexico, and some of the other colonies in the Americas. This idea of thousands of Spaniards from Spain all over the Philippines for all the years of colonization is really false because the majority of the time, the "Spanish" in the Philippines were from the Americas. The only time there was pure Spanish rule was before and after the Galleon Trade years, before the 1560s and after 1821, when Mexico won its independence. Then we know that Spain lost the Philippines to the USA in the late 1800s
If YOU are not aware. The Spanish immigrants in our country(Philippines) only small numbers of Spanish immigrants unlike Latin America they recieve massive number of Spanish immigrants. That's the reason why our own unique cultures and influences in the Philippines is VERY alive
In General
We are culturally,linguistically and genetically Austronesian that originated in Mainland Asia
Not sure about Visayas but Mindanao was never conquered by Spanish neither Americans nor Japanese.
not conquered? how come it is under The Philippine Islands? and originally Mindanaoans were originally pagans too but then Arab merchant spread Islam in Mindanao
