- Filled with chop suey houses, gambling dens, and dance halls, Little Manila was the area in Stockton notoriously called, Skid Row, but it was also the closest thing Filipinos had to a hometown. In its heyday in the 30s, this lively area had the largest population of Filipinos outside of the Philippines. Narrated by famed Filipino-American producer, Dean Devlin (Independence Day, The Patriot) this documentary tells the immigrant story as Filipinos experienced it. tinyurl.com/pbsqlkl
As a Filipino Korean living in the States, it was not until recently that I started to feel proud of my heritage. The rich history of immigration and struggle to become a part of the nation that does not treat them as a part, are amazing. More of this should be taught in the school so the future generation can have a better understanding that the US was not founded solely by Europeans but also the people from every corner of the world....and that's what makes this country apart from others.
Anyeong haseyo kabayan! Greetings from the Philippines 🇵🇭😊
That's what everyone who isnt American should know. We are not blonde , blue eye BUT EVERYONE OF THE WORLD.
This video needs to be a lot longer. One hour was not enough to spend on this subject. I hope there will be a follow up.
Still applicable today. Human rights in the USA is such a joke. I mean like they are saying being a white man dating white women or other women is amazing, while degrading the men from those race or ethnic backgrounds, especially the AAPI men.
I just read this today, and I’m 70yrs old. Yeah, it took that long for me learn about early Filipinos in the U.S. Thanks to the internet, not to history classes
You and me both, brother. Me: old white guy (yes, angry. lol. about so many social injustices). My wife is Filipina, born there but grew up in Canada. Interesting to learn from this show.
The same for me, this was never mentioned or taught in history class when I was in the Philippines. Been living solidly in Canada for 44 years, I just stumbled upon this priceless historical information just now. May 2nd, 2020.

the Filipino men during this time were so handsome!
If only u see me now ;)
@@3starsthesun468 nice comeback😂
Why thank you!
They still are
filipina?
My Filipino ancestry taught me to respect my elders, to get the job done, and know your place. We may be humble but we don't take crap, and don't need to be noticed. We have handled bigotry gracefully and quietly. It's way better to be in the background and safer too these days... loved this documentary by the way, filled me with pride. Thank you so much for this video!
this doesn't least bit represent the present day filipino
Definitely doesn't describe 2nd, 3rd and 4th generations Filipinos
It is hilarious because all this still applies today and to AAPI. THey are saying white men are the best and only men while degrading every other men, especially Asians. Actually, white men started this and then convinced others like latinos and blacks to think the same about Asian men.
This documentary should be known to a lot more Filipinos.
I invite you to read a thin book entitled "America's Double-cross of the Philippines" by Salvador Araneta. It strongly backs up this video in a way. The book, I think, is available on Amazon.
@@yengsabio5315 I wish I could buy that but its COVID lockdown today.
@@renesarabia6442 You can surely do so post-lockdown! 😄
Cheers & mabuhay from tropical Philippines!
Filapino's , Japanese,Spanish and Chinese came to slave for the cannot mention. They was beaten and even killed for not doing their work due to being sick. My mom told me this. They could hear men crying while being beaten and sometimes died.
@@yengsabio5315 Nice... I think I will order that from Amazon along with this Filipino recipe book that dates back in the mid 1500's.
You know, despite all the suffering you see that Pinoys experience in this video, they are always smiling. Showing that even with the sad things, Filipinos can always find a way to be happy, to look at the brightest side of things.
jonalyn baldoza. That's the reason why foreigners have the impression that it's OK to maltreat Filipinos because even when you do harm to them, they remain smiling and everything is OK.
Thats true even in present time mostly Middle Eastern countries are worst unhumanly treatment.Filipinos are still discriminated in USA in different ways my experience.
It does focus on Pinoys, but I started to see how this is a chain effect for all Asians, especially Asian men. To sum it up, Asian men in general were rumored to be evil. Everything from the Filipinos to the Japanese and the Chinese All those advertisements back then promoted "angry Asian men" or "evil Chinese men. It seems like this isn't about them being evil but about them oppressing Asian men, which seems to start with Filipinos and then all AAPI men after that. Pretty sad, really, because now I see why no girls were into Asian men and why Asian men are self-hating because this society says that they are undesirable.
RIP Professor Dawn Mabalon. Your work will ensure our Manongs will never be forgotten.
huh, she's gone? (Edit) omG, I just googled it, and indeed! Rest in peace, Professor Mabalon!!!
There wouldn't be a Cezar Chaves or Dolores Huerta without Larry Itolong. "Most history books mention Chavez and the United Farm Workers, but do not include a mention of Itliong or other Filipinos.[32][33] Speaking about Chavez and his father, Johnny Itliong said, "Larry was militant. Cesar was non-violent. Cesar had handlers. Cesar had lawyers. Cesar was a dictator."
Very interesting to know, and I see the correlation between hispanics and Filipinos talking to each other in Spanish.
R.I.P Dawn Mabalon. Thank you for teaching us as kids that being Filipino meant something.
I would say Filipinos are one of the most hardworking and trustworthy people. They work and not complain.
oh really
hope you doing good
Also, Mexicans are hard-working people.
thats not really a good trait. they should learn to the resist and stand up for their rights, thats the reason why they are being exploited over and over. this kind of mentality stops the growth of their country.
@@coraandhernicebangs7703 Yep! And guess what? Even today the Filipinos are exploited by the same Filipino employers. What a shame!
@@coraandhernicebangs7703well we got guys like Larry Itliong who got the balls to stand up against abuse. he even forced mexicans to join his side because they were hesitant at first
I knew about the Filipinos who migrated to Hawaii to work in the pineapple plantations...
This is an eye opening documentary about the Filipinos who came to California. Filipinos generally are ambitious, we’re not content with what we have, we seek ways to improve our lives for our sake and for our children’s future. And we work hard in order to attain that goal.
Racism on the other hand is nothing new. Sadly, racism is here to stay...
it's only natural when you grew up in a very restrictive place like the Philippines and now you have a chance to make name in the land of opportunities.
Watching this hurt my heart. Chavez didn't give any credit to the filipinos who forced him to make the movement when his filipino best friend wrote his speeches and they made a national holiday for chavez when filipinos are the real deal on the movement we got paided 90 cents and deported when promised citizenship and to be patriotic millions of pinoys died in the ww2 and got called aliens? I felt like crying when I watched this. Whoever made this Thank you opened my eyes i'm grateful to be filipino truly
Ik baby 🇵🇭
Same here, i usually keep sharing this here and there for people to watch that doesn't know about the history here in Stockton with Filipinos. My parents worked in the asparagus fields.

CertifiedBoy Dom then what, wiped china 's ass , look what they gave us covid
How does Chavez associated with filipinos? Philippines is across the world. Chavez is from California. weid.
I have only now discovered and viewed this video. Great job for it's production. I can honestly say that the mainland Philippines has the most beautiful and loving women anywhere in the world. This fact I know is true because while I was a US Marine Embassy guard in Manila, I met the woman of my dreams and we were married. That was about 45 years ago and we are still doing well together.
Vietnamese Women, get my vote followed by Korean Women, but that's just me
Rest in power, dearest Dr. Dawn Mabalon. Your work lives on. May your memory be everlasting.
Wow... May she rest in peace. This is great work!
In every successful nation, there are those who truly worked hard behind the scenes to make that nation where it is now. Let's not forget them.
I was really touched by the dating part. So this explains the idea of "Asian men" being bad and evil but also undateable because they are "evil" or unqualified to be a romantic interest.
They need to teach our history in the American history and not just about Caucasians and African Americans. We played an important part in America too. I hope someone makes a movie about this. Thank you for putting out this documentary. I learned a lot about our people. I wish they taught this while i was in school. Let's all continue to teach other people.
100% agree! All the congressional acts we hear about and they skip Tydings-McDuffie huh? Sick of it.

I hope it will have a movie in mainstream hollywood about filipinos in the 1920's, 1930's in the next 5 to 10yrs from now. 🙏
We were surveying textbooks for US History and the NatGeo textbook actually had some FilAm history, but of course the district picked the other one that really sucked
I just learned about this too, definitely a good historical info for the new generation to learn about the hardships of the ORIGINAL OFW'S in the 1930's.
This very interesting and respect to Filipinos in all aspects, this shouldn’t be a competition of who did what. I am a proud Mexicana and we need to stick together to continue to keep winning! Every individual played a huge role in making our communities and culture what they are today. Mucho amor y respecto ❤️ love you all!!!
Si Se Puede!
youre half mexican and filipina ?
here bc of Alamat :P
Look at that asparagus farming..that is hard work being bent at the waist like that and striding down the furrows....respect.
This appeared in my recommendation. I agree that this should be watched by a lot of Filipinos.
came here because of ALAMAT!! :DD
Thanks so much for posting this. There should be more awareness in the Filipino culture, as I believe that the younger Filipino Americans are so out of touch with their Filipino heritage. Which is really sad.
As a young fil-am I have seen this but I also know that it was very difficult to find information on my ancestors or heritage. This is one of the first documentaries have seen that really captured the essence and ideas in our culture
I feel like I’m the only young Filipino that speaks my dialect..
As a1.5 generation and a father of 3 teens , this is what I hope to let them be more aware but again there is lack of resources and references, why can’t we all get together and make this happen
gmlasam who were/are the original Filipinos?

I can agree with that, been to metro manila a few times. Went out into the jungle a few times. There are very dangerous areas, just like any other country.
@@TheGodCulture fuck the psudosciance bull shit. You remind me of flat earthers.
God Bless them all. An important part of America. I married a Filipina in Hawaii in 1965, and my children, and grandchildren, and great grandchildren, carry their grandfather's and great great great grandfather's blood. the first one arrived in Hawaii July 30, 1910. I am so proud of their Filipino heritage.
A lot of Ilocos from Cabugao, Ilocos Sur were brought to Hawai'i to work on the sugar & pineapple plantations! My late grandfather always tell me stories about it.
And so the Ilocos Region in Northwestern Luzon are well-off because they have old relatives in the US who worked so hard in the US so they can send something back the Philippines!
My lolo always say, "Ah, those were testing times!"
One of the better signs of an Iloco in the island of Hawai'i is that they adore eating chevon or goat meat, hahaha! Very cultural!

This explains why Asian men are so undesirable, because westerners wanted to keep it that way, especially when white men were not comfortable with their white women dating Filipino men. I see the connection with Filipinos and all Asian men thereafter as being "Evil" or undesirable.
Never been to USA and might never ever.. but i feel my connection to this Little Manila... This video is a treasure for the Filipinos.
It is still ongoing today. My advice is: don't ever come to the USA. If you are Asian and male, you are not sexy in the eyes of society, but an Asian woman is sexy in the eyes of society. This isn't just limited to Filipinos but anyone of Asian descent, like Chinese, Korean, or Japanese. This is an agenda that the USA wants to set up where being white and male are gods, while every other male is weak, useless, and doesn't make good lovers, boyfriends, husbands, or even fathers. The mentality is so bad that even Asian women in this country bought into the idea, so they also put down Asian men because they wanted to be white so bad.
Believe me, you don't want to. If you live in the Philippines, like in the big tourist cities, you will see all this white worship, and this is true in the USA. A lot of Pinays find white men attractive, all the while degrading and disrespecting their own Pinoy. Of course, this isn't just Filipinos; every Asian, like Chinese women, Korean women, Japanese women, and other Asians and Pacific Islanders, is doing it. They are encouraged by their white boyfriends or husbands to do it too. It is easier to find women to date when you are a white man in the USA because white men are of higher status while other minorities, including Asians, are of lower status. You can be a successful Filipino or Asian man, but you won't get girls in the same way. White men can get girls without even trying, while Asian men (including Filipinos) have to run a marathon to get a girl, even as a friend or someone slightly interested, but usually the Asian man ends up with nothing. Your chances are really, really slim in both casual hookups and serious relationships.
@@WERUN817 Nope, you could have your experiences but I think I know my own fellow countrywomen. There could be some Filipinas who would prefer 'whites' for economic reasons. But generally, and culturally, our Pinays would prefer and still are choosing Pinoys.
This is an eye opener not only to the Filipinos but also to the whole world. This documentary film should be available to all the schools and students in the Philippines, to educate them. Do not hide this! Use this to educate the new generations in the Philippine schools. I myself is a teacher and was educated in Manila, but i do not remember that i learned about racism issues in the USA. RGW
I agree, this documentary is underrated
It's a shame because those Filipinos in the U.S. call themselves 'nationalistic' but they brag about being 'Americanized.' Most or some of those new rich Filipinos look down on other Filipinos, are regionalistic and develop a 'crab mentality.' Up to now you can see these Americanized Filipinos, some in Baguio City, where the weather is cooler but not freezing--and they wear fur coats with a matching snobbish swag!
Filipo Lino exactly, they’re many types of Filipinos. The whitewashed ones are the worse. Ask 10 Filipinos what they are and you’ll get 10 different answers

Marie Oh yes, until to this day it's still exists.
this just put a hole new light on my understanding of America...eye opening history
Yes, Alamat made me go here. Thank you, Alamat. It is such an honor to be a Magiliw.
These people were badass. No amount of adversity kept them down.
Our very schools leave out, important groups like the Filipinos while affording a disproportionate amount of attention on other groups when it comes to teaching our Nation's history.
this soo true hun
hope you doing good
Carlos Bulosan's narration of Filipino early immigrants struggle in the US in images and pictures..
If not for the early "Manongs" we could not have grown in the USA into 3 million strong. There manners and characteristics show the resilience of the Filipino spirit. The word "Sputing" originated from their bravado. They are who we are, they were self parodied in the "Kengkoy" comics for aping American Hollywood fashion. Their flair reflects our love for designer jeans today.
Manongs of the 30's , you manifest the Filipino psyche of today. In memoriam and in respect, I offer my salute to our forefathers despite their "perfect imperfections".

I'm a Filipino and I'd say thank you very much. I wish I could visit Stockton, CA, especially the El Dorado street.
@@EyeC5150ScammersAllDay have you been to the Philippines and do you speak Tagalog? I didn't know about Stockton either until I watched this video. I thought little Manila was there in South Central California.
"Manong" is an Iloco/Ilocano word for a male person that is older than your age. It's actually a show of respect to that male person older than you by saying "Manong" before his first name.
Example: Manong Gary
Gary is a guy that is older than you.
"Manong" is sometimes used to reflect maturity of thought & wisdom to the male person even if he is younger than you. As such, it then entails one knowing the person deeply.
The female counterpart of "Manong" is "Manang."
I hope this adds something to the understanding of the video. Cheers & mabuhay from tropical Philippines!
MALAY SUBTITLES : Part 5 of 6
19:48
Hasil kerja ribuan orang Filipina dibuat
19:50
Kawasan tengah California seperti sekarang ini,
19:52
industri pertanian bernilai berbilion dolar yang membuat
19:55
California ekonomi kelima terbesar di dunia.
19:59
Tetapi hanya sedikit orang yang menyedari bahawa pekerja ladang Filipina bermain
20:02
bahagian penting dalam salah satu gerakan buruh Amerika yang hebat
20:05
sejarah: bekerjasama dengan Cesar Chavez.
20:09
Keadaan di ladang sangat mengagumkan
20:13
(untuk) apa yang ditanggung oleh lelaki-lelaki ini.
20:15
Tuan-tuan dengan nama Larry Itliong berada di Stockton,
20:19
dan dia adalah sebahagian dari gerakan buruh untuk mendapatkan orang Filipina
20:23
terlibat dalam keseluruhan masalah buruh tidak adil ini di ladang.
20:27
(Pada) 1965 di mana (ketika) orang berfikir, wow, United Farm Workers,
20:31
Chicanos, memulakan gerakan ini.
20:34
Tetapi sebenarnya orang Filipina yang menyeret
20:36
orang Mexico memasuki gerakan buruh.
20:39
Orang Filipina dari Sacramento, Stockton, (dan) pusat
20:43
lembah pada dasarnya mengikuti penggiliran tanaman.
20:45
Mereka turun di Coachella Valley.
20:47
Mereka sampai ke Delano.
20:49
Oleh itu para pekerja agak kecewa
20:51
apa yang berlaku, memandangkan mereka berasal dari Coachella,
20:55
dan mereka mendapat $ 1,40 di sana.
21:00
Dan di Delano, ia adalah $ 1.10.
21:03
(Sekiranya) orang Filipina mogok,
21:04
(ketika itu) masalah besar.
21:05
Orang Mexico akan menjadi pemecah mogok,
21:09
Jadi Itliong naik ke Chavez dan berkata,
21:11
"Lihat, kami memerlukan sokongan anda."
21:13
Dan Chavez berkata, "Tidak, saya tidak dapat memberikan sokongan kepada anda."
21:16
Itliong berkata, "Mengapa tidak?"
21:18
Chavez berkata "Saya tidak bersedia.
21:20
Kami akan menunggu 2-3 tahun lagi. "
21:23
Itliong berkata, "Tidak.
21:25
Kami mogok sekarang, dan anda menyertai kami. Atau semasa anda meneruskan
21:29
mogok pada tahun 1968, kami akan menghentikan mogok anda. "
21:33
Larry Itliong bergabung dengan kumpulan Filipina dengan
21:35
Kumpulan Chicanos Cesar Chavez, dan bersama-sama
21:38
mereka mencipta United Farm Workers,
21:41
kesatuan pekerja ladang paling berjaya yang dikenali sekarang.
21:47
Menjelang tahun 1960-an, masyarakat Filipina di Stockton bermula
21:50
untuk menjauh dari kawasan pusat bandar.
21:52
Pegawai bandar mula membersihkan kawasan etnik
21:55
untuk pembangunan semula bandar.
22:03
Beberapa tahun kemudian pembinaan jalan raya merentas bandar
22:06
memusnahkan sebahagian besar Little Manila.
22:08
Pembinaan dan pembongkaran jalan raya bermula pada tahun 1967.
22:12
Dan ketika wang persekutuan untuk pembinaan lebuh raya kering
22:15
tahun 1970-an, ia menjadi jalan bebas ke mana-mana.
22:18
Oleh itu, inilah monumen untuk cara orang-orang warna
22:23
di Stockton yang telah benar-benar ditolak menyokong
22:26
pembinaan dan pembangunan semula lebuh raya.
22:28
Di sini terdapat sebuah kedai.
22:30
Di sini adalah garaj di mana banyak lelaki berusia 50-an
22:34
digunakan untuk melepak dan membuat joran panas mereka.
22:37
Sampai di sini?
22:38
Kedai kecantikan Puan Segundo Reyes.
22:47
Little Manila hancur.
22:49
Mereka membersihkan hampir semua perkara kecuali hotel Mariposa dan
22:55
Rizal Social Club dan apa yang pernah menjadi Dewan Kesatuan AFL-CIO,
23:01
yang kini menjadi Restoran Emerald.
23:03
Saya tidak percaya apa yang berlaku.
23:09
Orang Manong, lelaki Filipina yang lebih tua, dan lain-lain yang tinggal
23:12
di hotel-hotel Little Manila dipindahkan oleh bandar.
23:16
Ada yang menginap di sini, mereka menyebutnya mereka akan pergi ke
23:20
Daguhoy Lodge.
23:21
Mereka mempunyai kelab sendiri:
23:22
Demasalan, Legionarios, (dan)
23:24
Bulatan Iloilo.
23:32
Beberapa sisa terakhir komuniti penting ini
23:35
hampir tidak kelihatan, tetapi kepentingannya berterusan.
23:39
Organisasi Filipina berjuang untuk memelihara
23:41
bangunan yang tinggal sekarang dianggap sebagai tapak bersejarah yang terancam.
23:57
Apa yang anda berdiri di hadapan adalah
23:59
Plaza Filipina.
24:00
Filipino Plaza didedikasikan pada tahun 1972.
24:03
Dan sekumpulan aktivis Filipina dan sekumpulan
24:06
Organisasi Filipina di Stockton menyedari bahawa ribuan
24:10
dari manong, beribu-ribu orang lama, kehilangan mereka
24:13
kediaman kerana pembangunan semula.
24:16
Oleh itu, orang-orang Filipina ini berkumpul (dan) mereka memanggil diri mereka sendiri
24:18
Pertubuhan Filipina Bersekutu.
24:20
Dan ini adalah rancangan Filipina-Amerika pertama di negara ini
24:24
dan memberi inspirasi kepada projek perumahan mampu milik di negara ini.
24:28
Perasaan saya untuk memelihara Little Manila sangat kuat.
24:34
It (Little Manila) mewakili bahagian sejarah
24:36
yang selamanya akan menjadi sebahagian dari California.
24:39
Adakah anda benar-benar mahu (menunjukkan) cucu anda dan menunjuk
24:41
tempat kosong dan katakan, "Di sinilah pemogokan penting ini
24:44
dirancang. "
24:45
Atau arahkan ke bangunan yang sudah hampir usang
24:49
dirobohkan dan berkata, "Di sinilah organisasi ini bertemu."
24:52
Kerana apa yang dikatakan mengenai bagaimana kita menghargai sejarah kita?
24:57
Sekiranya kita membiarkan tempat bersejarah kita menjadi tempat letak kereta
25:00
dan menjadi tempat kosong,
25:02
apa yang dikatakan mengenai apa yang kita fikirkan tentang diri kita sendiri
25:06
Orang Amerika Filipina dan betapa kita menghargai sejarah panjang kita
Thank you KVIE for this. Makes me want to drive down to Stockton today, to see Little Manila and how the community turned out. Would be fun to eat a good Filipino lunch too.
Doug Robinson Thank you. Appreciate your support. big wave from the Philippines.
I invite you to read a thin book entitled "America's Double-cross of the Philippines" by Salvador Araneta. It strongly backs up this video in a way. The book, I think, is available on Amazon.
thats really going to be good
The Stockton Filipino community is now in other parts of San Joaquin county. The Little manila site is now part of downtown area most people either avoid at night, or has a freeway right on top. Fortunately the youth groups of the area and the national historical museum are still linking today's FilAms to the past.
I have always and will always have respect for Filipinos. I say this because my girlfriend is a Filipina who I love and adore with all my heart. Filipinos are good and kind hearted people. Much love and respect. ❤❤❤👍👍
White men didn't think so, and this documentary explains the Asian men's story very well and how it leads up to today, where being Asian and male is frowned upon while being Asian and female is like a trophy. They didn't just try to portray Filipinos negatively; they also tried to portray every other Asian after that. Every Asian ethnicity has heard all the racial slurs against Asians, even if they were supposed to be for a different group because Americans cannot tell the difference, so they call every Asian C (Chlnk), G (G00k), or J word (J@p).
I assume you are Hispanic, and that is good. If you were a white man saying that, I would have a hard time believing you because white men say all women belong to them while degrading not just Filipinos but Asian men in general. White men think it's ok for them to date any woman, but white women think it is taboo for white women to date any men, especially when it comes to Asian men. Sure, they might not like it when white women date black men or Latino or Hispanic men, but when it comes to Asian men, they really don't like it. They say that the Asian guy is "out of their league" and that they need to find someone better, regardless of whether the Asian guy is successful or not, tall or not, good-looking or not, or in physical shape or not.
Pilipino is very international n flexible ,very devoted .Philippines 🇵🇭 is the greatest .Pilipino Excellent.full of Heart ❤️ 🌸💕💕💕❤️God bless and peace grace to all of us 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I am proud to be Filipino. Hard worker in any field of work.Thank you for sharing this film.
Yeah. So white women dating Filipinos didn't just stop there; it applied to all Asians. White men have been promoting Asian men as bad or unsuitable boyfriend material, lovers, husbands, and fathers. Even today, I feel like being Asian and male puts you at a disadvantage where being white and male is at the top, blacks and Latinos are second, and Asian males are last. There has been research done on who gets swiped left or right based on gender and race; Asian males and black females are the ones who get rejected the most.
My grandfather landed in California around the 1920's but he only managed to stay for a couple years. Discrimination was really bad at that time and him being a landowner in the Philippines was too much to be treated a slave. Needless to say that eventually ended his new world adventures.
ikaw ba naman na may lupa dito sa pilipinas at may trabahador ka..pagpunta mo jan eh tratuhin ka nilang mas madumi pa sa daga eh talagang masaktan ang pride mo.
I know how it feels..tama na balik ka na lang..
I love this documentary! It's a piece of the missing puzzle about Filipino immigrants in the early part of the 20th century. How wonderful that someone finally thought of putting this together although i wish they'd put in more details and make it longer and more thorough. Please, produce more of that forgotten history of early Filipino immigrants in California or possibly the entire US. I'm also interested to know more of the migrations and about the Filipino communities in Texas and how they came to be. Thanks for this educational upload. You do us honor. Thank you so much.
tuberobotto I just like it cause I'm from Stockton. I feel like not enough people here in the valley know of the history of our area
Yess
To me, when they reach the part about dating white women, I understand this as a person of color and of Asian descent because they really do paint this idea that white men can have any woman while asian men cannot and not only are they not allowed to date any women, they are also not allowed to date their own women from their own culture. They have been propagating the idea that Asian men are bad sex partners, boyfriends, husbands, and fathers. They also convinced other men, like black and Latino men, to think the same about Asian men, and all the while, being an Asian woman is "attractive". Of course they didn't used to do this; they used to paint both Asian men and women as evil and bad.
love how Pinoys establish the community. One thing tho new millennium Fil-Ams identify them selves as pacific islanders, while Filipinos in the Philippines recognize themselves as Filipino no more no less
It's how America is. They generalize shit like that.
Instead of todays movements to remove history from our country I think they should add more history to remind us of where everybody come from ....good times and bad and to also remind us we are better now because of it and let our children learn from it in a positive way.
Well with great history and how my father ended up in Stockton and met my Hispanic mother. And my Mestiza understanding. Everyone doesn't know this Mestiza identification. Many blessings for you yours and your work.🙏💯
Filipino-Americans have impacted my life in ways too numerous and profound to ignore and devalue. Filipino doctors, nurses, and co-workers are bright lights in my family's life here. They're dedicated professionals, ethical, hardworking, and genuinely friendly, not to ingratiate themselves or take advantage of people's trust, but simply because their lives revolve around helping one another, especially in their native country where natural calamities, political upheavals, and endemic poverty have long pummeled them for so long. Broadway shows featuring incredibly talented Filipinos have made me a big fan of their artistry and musical prowess. Lea Salonga, you're a once-in-a-lifetime singer and actress, and I hope that you can look back someday and smile at the trail you've blazed for present and future Filipino musical, theatrical, and cinema stalwarts here in the States and all over the world.
Too bad for Stockton now. Asian communities were so strong back then. It would have been great if these communities continued to prosper. I find these Asian communities facinating. It's great to have the option to go to them because you don't have to leave the country to experience their cultures through food and services.
Im thankful iv seen this video.finding out theres another story abt filipinos.It adds knowledge to me about how filipinos abroad before.my father is a farmer (1919-2000) i remember when i was 10yrs.old im not paying much attention when once he told vintage/old stories abt fil.farmers here nd abroad.Mabuhay ang mga Filipino👍💖
Mabuhay tayong mga Filipino!!!!
Here because of ALAMAT (PPop Group in the Philippines, and their inspiration for their concept photos are the "manongs")
i didnt know how much actually we put into this country the past century bruh more of us needa see this
im here because of ALAMAT🙌
Is the first letter for autoplay? Was sleeping good until waking up in the middle of this haha.
wow. we will never get this in school. this piece of history also explains why Filipinos has high regard of the country till today.
Now I know why I so love asparagus... Thank you for this video...
Very well done documentary👍 i wish more filipinos will appreciate the hardships and sacrifices made by our forefathers dis specially by the filipino youth not only the filams but every filipino around the world
I hope those historical sites would be preserved..
wow! this is an amazing documentary, I think this should be in our history books.
tama di lang lagi si aquino laman ng history book.peke naman bayani yun ewan ba hay
@@king24km lol 🤣
I invite you to read a thin book entitled "America's Double-cross of the Philippines" by Salvador Araneta. It strongly backs up this video in a way. The book, I think, is available on Amazon.
It should. especially the white man part. Did you know that even today, in 2023, this idea applies? The only difference is that white men are allowed to date Pinay or Asian women while promoting the idea that being a Pinoy or Asian man is not okay. In fact, according to the West, more than 90% of women are out of Asian men's league. They might not like white women dating black, Latino, or other guys, but when it comes to Asian men, it is straight out laughable, like, "He's out of your league, Miss. Find a real man." and this is regardless of whether the Asian man is good looking, successful, rich, physically fit or anything. They are trying to say Asian men (especially Filipino men) are not dateable, not good in bed, and not suitable boyfriends, lovers, casual flings, husbands, or fathers.
Well-done. My father came to Stockton from Santa Catalina, Ilocus Sur in 1929 and darn sure he was part of this...He says he went as far South as Phoenix to pick canteloupe...
Thank you for your father. He is not forgotten. I am a white American and am ashamed of our history.
A lot of Ilocos from Cabugao, Ilocos Sur were brought to Hawai'i to work on the sugar & pineapple plantations! My late grandfather always tell me stories about it.
And so the Ilocos Region in Northwestern Luzon are well-off because they have old relatives in the US who worked so hard in the US so they can send something back the Philippines!
My lolo always say, "Ah, those were testing times!"
Thank you for sharing the History of my kababayan Filipinos.
So they were banned from the U.S because they were better dancers than the Caucasians? :D
Ja Nna omfg that's their reason? 😂
LOL possibly during that time white people find any reason to used against immigrants
stealing their women, and didn't want whites and other minorities to date
Ja Nna Irish dancers kick butt
It's what caused the Filipino riots in California
This is great! My step father who raised me since i was 3 years old is Filipino and I grew up with his side of the family and I have siblings that are Filipino. Will definitely share this with our family!
Saw this seven years ago,when it was first uploaded.
TH-cam just recommended it to me. Glad to see it again.
Remarkable work for Filipino history!
Thank you very much for posting this video. I enjoyed watching what life was like among the early Filipino immigrants. I now live in Southern California, and what brought me here is the direct result of immigration policies in the early 70"s, allowing 3rd Preference Visas for professionals (college/university graduates). Whatever courage I had for planting myself in a strange land was the fact that I have grandparents who came to the US in the 1940s, who supported their families in our province (Pangasinan), their stories of good lives, and fortune. I am forever thankful to these early immigrants for paving the way, and their stories in this video prove my grandparents's stories were true,.
After watching this. It breaks my heart how things were back then and how they are still some what the same. Very little change but as i know filipinos myself. They Never Give Up Or Give In. They keep Striving Forward. Filipino Strong.
My grandfather, segundino, met and married a beautiful chamorran woman, Vicente, and lived happily in Guam (home of my grandmother). Segundinos ashes were spread across Hawaiian waters because he really felt in tune with the state.
Seeing this video reminds me of my father. He is 1 of the Filipino farmers who went to Hawaii as a pineapple picker way back 1919. After a year, he moved to California and stayed until 1965 before going home to Cebu City, Philippines for good. Since my Dad is a member of the Social Security Administration in US, we 3 his kids enjoyed US pension until we reached age 18 while my Mom a Filipina his 2nd wife became a lifetime US pensioner. We his kids remain a Filipino citizen coz he is only a green card holder. He did not filed or applied US citizenship.
@@mestizoboy I can't really confirmed if it was a pineapple or a sugarcane coz he died when I was 6 years old. But he did also mention sugarcane. What I know is that he was 1 of the Filipino farmers who went to Hawaii. It was called the 1st Sakada hiring during early 1900's or the post WW1. They rode a ship to Hawaii. According to my Dad, more than half of them were from Luzon. When he was in California, their pastime is baseball.
@@mestizoboy His name is Pablo S. Revilla. He was born on June 26, 1899. if I'm not mistaken, he left for Hawaii by boat in 1919.
@@mestizoboy I think it's his record. Honestly, Now I'm sure that he left for Hawaii in 1920 at age 21 yrs. old. He did mention that he was a brakeman of the train that transport the sugarcane. According to him, he almost fell-off from the train. This is 1 of the reason why he moved to San Francisco, California, USA. Most of the passengers on board the steamship were from northern Luzon, Philippines. He has a best friend from Luzon whose surname is Rillera. John, I'm just 50 years old. I was born in 1969 after he left US for good. We are his 2nd family. He got married to my Mom at age 68. Hope you can visit my facebook account so you can meet my family. I have half brother and sister in California whose surname is Rillera. It's a long study there surname is different from mine but what I know we are brothers and sister.
Hi !!! Filipino here !!! I wish this documentary would be expanded more. Someone said "It's an eye opener."
I watched it over and over again...
@ 5:47 Jerry Paular. He would talk for hours but held you captivated when he spoke of the early Filipinos in California. I miss him a lot.
Damn bruh These Filipinos got some swag and looking snappy and sharp, bet they learned that from Rizal. LOL
Ya bruh
no, swag is in our blood
Mabuhay ang pilipino.... Long Live philippines...
I am married to a Filipina and have been to the Philippines many times. They are friendly and warm people. Feel sad how they were treated prior to the war.
The older interviewees have beautiful American accents. There is just something a little
thats soo true hun
hope you doing good
Thank you for the upload ❤my father lived and worked as a farm laborer and marched with Cesar Chaves ❤️
ang hirap pala ng buhay ng mga sinaunang Pilipino na nakipagsapalaran sa Amerika
I'd never knew this all my life,yes I'm here and no relatives there but we must be informed about the story,thanks.
Any historians ? I'm Filipino American and want to talk about the style.
Pinoys are really important to the huelga movement they are the unrecognized freedom fighters of the central valley❤❤❤❤
They should make this a requisite for every filipino grade school student to understand immigration, racism, and history.
My grandfather Bernabe Calios Tanawan came from the 🇵🇭Islands to work the agriculture 30’s 40’s and 50’s here in Salinas California.
I am so proud to be of Filipino descent 🙏🏻
This is sooooo DOPE!! MUCH APPRECIATION for producing this!
One of the best documentary I've seen in a long time. Stand up flips! It's time to make real noise!
hey man we ain't no flips, originally we are The Ophirians also the Maharlikans!!! Do ya homework...
@@bernsteiner88 I know about ophir. I say flip because it's what's being used. You want history you get yours from TH-cam. And God culture channel. I'm fluent in babayin. Sorta lol
Howie Dune I know about TGC snd good to know you know Baybayin :) We are Ophirians and Maharlikans kapatid :)
@@bernsteiner88 yeah I know about ophir and the Philippines.
oh mannnnn, this is GREAT, thank you for this..
Thank you for sharing this video.
Glad to have stumbled upon this video. Didn't know City of Stockton was a mecca for Pinoy Immigrants during the day and disappointed to hear little Manila had gone too little or to nothing. At least Historic Filipino town in L.A. is still standing. Yey.... Mabuhay!
I love this...I am showing this video to my kids...Thank you.
WOW! Thanks for this video. God bless
Thank you so much for this.
Thanks for the documentary. Really appreciate knowing more about our history in another country. I appreciate our education system that teach our local Filipino history, national Filipino history, Asian history, Spanish/American colonization history, and other countries like Europe. Even though it was headache inducing at that time we try to learn a lot about the world and not just our internal history.
I'm not really surprised that no one really know this because I noticed how media, students, movies really doesn't show non white contribution to the development of USA. Native Americans, Chinese, Filipinos, other Asians, and Mexicans really doesn't show much on history books or taught in classes. Sometimes I facepalm if you ask students or adults if they know much of countries outside of USA especially South America.
Thank you so much for the share. What a great history. Great Filipino blood.
amazing documentary... I would definitely give credits to this..
Wow, what an eye opener. Thanks for sharing video, thumbs up.
I'm beyond proud of them and maraming salamat for this documentary!
I saw one about early Filipinos in New Orleans when I was stationed there in the 90s.
What happened when you saw the Pilipinos in New Orleans? Please explain.
I think it's about Filipinos who shipwrecked and made a little Manilatown there.
Some parallels can be drawn from today's young OFWs, a great burden of expectation is placed squarely on their shoulders.
This is amazing, learned so much. Wow I am moved. Would love any insight on how to spread awareness or anything really
This video is amazing and must be shared to all our Filipino people. Beautifully done and thank you so much. I have been sharing it to my Filipino family and friends.❤️
Love Ur people. No matter HOW LIGHT OR DARK THEY ARE. No matter THEIR RELIGION OR THEIR MONEY STATUS. IF THEIR MIXED BLOOD OR PURE PINOY, LOVE UR FOLKS. Our ancestors delt with all that hate(video), and it hurts to see Pinoy ppl today hating eachother for these dumb ass reasons. Lets grow and b more of the beautiful ppl THE WORLD says we are.
This is so amazing and interesting to watch thank you
Thank you for this!
WOW! WHAT A VIDEO. THANKS A LOT FOR SHOWING THIS. FILIPINO TOWN AT STOCKTON.
Thank you for posting. Fascinating documentary. Learned so much about the struggles of the first immigrants, and I have a lot of appreciation for how they helped pave the way for the next generations. May we always remember their sacrifices and contributions.
Pacita Dimacali The first peoples of North America migrated to this land 40,000 to 30,000 years ago from Asia.
