Your story is the story of those liars,hypocrite and true dirty politicians and rich in our country . DON'T MESS OUR REAL HISTORY.THE HISTORY IS ,THE AQUINOS ARE TRULY THE GREAT DICTATOR CONNIVES WUTH THE CARDINAL SIN AND USA AND THE OLIGARCHS.😡😡😡
As I mentioned in an earlier post but was not published you have to correct your history. The Filipinos rebelled against Spain in 1896 and declared its own independence in June 12,1898 with its first president Emilio Aguinaldo. At around the same time the US and Spain had a war that ended in Spain seceding Guam and Puerto Rico and selling Philippines to the US for $20M. The US proceeded to colonize the new Independent Philippines which ended in over 200K Filipino casualties. Philippines became a US colony until WW2 where Filipinos were conscripted in the US Armed Forces that fought the Japanese occupants.
Next time someone asks me why I look Asian, speak like a Malay, have an American first name and a Spanish last name, practice asian culture and eat Southeast Asian/ Chinese food, imma just show them this video
Karlz Batiao This is true, Aztes and Incans were used by the Spanish to fortify the Philippines and Ottomans hired Egyptians and Indian Muslims to help their Muslim allies in Southeast Asia. Here are the references! ...Incans in Zamboanga, Philippines... "Second Book of the Second Part of the Conquests of the Filipinas Islands, and Chronicle of the Religious of Our Father, St. Augustine" (Zamboanga City History) "He (Governor Don Sebastían Hurtado de Corcuera) brought a great reënforcements of soldiers, many of them from Peru, as he made his voyage to Acapulco from that kingdom." www.zamboanga.com/html/history_1634_moro_attacks.htm ...Aztecs and Mayans in Manila, Philippines... "In 1637 the military force maintained in the islands consisted of one thousand seven hundred and two Spaniards and one hundred and forty Indians." ~Memorial de D. Juan Grau y Monfalcon, Procurador General de las Islas Filipinas, Docs. Inéditos del Archivo de Indias, vi, p. 425. "In 1787 the garrison at Manila consisted of one regiment of Mexicans comprising one thousand three hundred men, two artillery companies of eighty men each, three cavalry companies of fifty men each." La Pérouse, ii, p. 368. ...Ottomans and their hired help (Egyptians, Somalis, Malabaris and Indian Muslims) sent to help Muslims in Southeast Asia... An informal Ottoman-Aceh alliance had existed since at least the 1530s.[3] Sultan Alauddin wished to develop these relations, both to attempt the expulsion of the Portuguese in Malacca, and to extend his own power in Sumatra.[3] According to accounts written by the Portuguese Admiral Fernão Mendes Pinto, the Ottoman Empire fleet that first arrived in Aceh consisted of 300 Ottomans (Including Egyptians), Swahilis, Somalis from Mogadishu and various city states, Sindhis from Debal and Thatta, Gujaratis from Surat, and some 200 Malabar sailors of Janjira to aid the Batak region and the Maritime Southeast Asia in 1539.[3] Following the 1562 embassy, Aceh appeared to have already received Ottoman reinforcements building its capacity and allowing it to conquer the Sultanates of Aru and Johor in 1564.[3] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottoman_expedition_to_Aceh
The Philippines has a diverse history. Started from Hinduism and Buddhism Influence, then to Islamic Influence where Trading Grew and Flourished, then to the Spanish Empire where Catholicism grew, then to become a US Colony where Protestantism and the English Language Grew , then to become occupied by the Japanese Empire, and then finally become independent. Now that’s crazy
Rooted Untouchable Political Power of the PHILIPPINE.Grow bigger unstoppable. Election time: 1.Politicos always giving money to selected areas the day before election day. 2.Politicos giving foods or other products during election campaigns. 3.Politicos are allowed being sponsored by Business Individuals. 4.Incumbent Politicos always has the edge of intimidating factors towards his locals. 5.Incumbent Politicos if facing LAW SUIT against them easily get TRO'S . The game of TRO'S s introduced especially if the Politicos in alliances with political parties of the Administration. Now is TRO protecting FILIPINOS? Or TRO only applied to rich Individuals and even so rich POLITICOS? How about ordinary FILIPINOS not heard of getting TROs. PLEASE let the LAW of the Land be fair to all Citizen.Most likely Politicos are prone to CORRUPTION and yet always get favored by the LAWS. People needs a PATRIOTIC LAWS OF THE LAND. FILIPINOS always had a bad impression: Who ever pays more the LAW'S getting favored,the Wise is silent the stupid gets multiplied...but don't forget with these awareness you shall be CURSED ...by the People getting affected. . 6. Tinatakot factor : Incumbent Mayors,Kagawad,Congressman,Senator...Pag kinukwestion ang Kaban ng Bayan ng isang munting mamamayan....na walang kalaban laban at alam nila walang laban dahil walang pambayad sa abogado...PINIPERSONAL ng Politicos ang Laban imbes na sagutin ang issue...Ginugutom nila ang Pamelya dahil tinuring kalaban sa Politica....masaklap pa tinatangal sa trabaho,pag may calamity at humihingi ng tulong sa governo hindi binibigyan at hindi kasama sa mga ayuda. 7. Politicos pays Millions for mainstream medias for advertising..ex.GMA7,ABS-CBN etc. 8. Calamity funds, Donation funds...Intelligence funds especially outgoing Politicos for their last term never use Millions of savings.The question is where do millions go? I believed all of these are the basic root caused of CORRUPTION. WHY ALL POLITICOS SILENT ABOUT THESE? WHY THERE IS NO FORCEFUL LAWS about these? Is it because all of them shares the benefit of it? That's why they are expending millions of millions?And still no truest LAWS on the Land.? Itong yung sinasabi binibilog lang utak natin sa mga Politicos natin...tapus kanya kanya tayong kampi sa bawat grupo nila. Pag nanalo POLITICOS mo syempre talo ang kabila...panahon ng CALAMITY kinakawawa mo yung kalaban sa politica...kunti lang binibigay na budgets para sa tulong kadalasan walang tulong. For hundreds and thousands years uunlad ba BANSA natin yan? Winning Politicos after Elections: 1.Its the time of taking back what was expended. 2.Aggressive to the money making LAWS even if it is depriving dignities of the many Filipinos example.CPD LAW by Trililanes. Universal Health Care For OFWs being imposed. 3.Using government funds like..SSS,GSIS,PHILHEALTH...for whatever purposes. This is awareness for all FILIPINOS rather than saying we could not help to stop CORRUPTION. WE SHOULD BE PATRIOTIC and Solidify FILIPINOS for one purpose to defend our Territory soon. PAYAMANIN natin ang ating BANSA hindi yung POLITICOS ang PAYAMANIN NATIN....BE PATRIOTIC. ACT NOW NOT LATER DEFEND OUR TERRITORY SOON. The turmoil of cultured virus starts attacking, somehow someday...if we couldn't keep up with the advancement War Technology, we always left behind...and may be invaded again.
IF YOU ARE TRUE FILIPINO..: 1.) Willing to do SACRIFICES to be PATRIOTIC. a.) Step down from Senator,step down from Congress. b.) Proceed to FEDERALISM and PARLIAMENTARY GOVERNMENT. c.) WILLING to SACRIFICE NOT TO PRACTICE CORRUPTION and Perpetuate Corruption from the smallest. d.) STRENGTHENED the Law of the Land Equality no more TRO...TRO only the rich benefited and the Politicos benefited. e.) PATRIOTIC values being thought to schools. f.) Political Parties must be discouraged instead Characterized QUALITY LEADER'S guidelines.PATRIOTIC Leader. Political Parties resulted to PEOPLE Divisions very bad resulted also to arguing,killings. selected favoritism, instead of PUBLIC SERVANT resulted to Political SERVANTS. Instead of solving Problems they are solving Problems to lift their Political Parties rather than solving the Problem for the PEOPLE for the FILIPINOS.DIVISION HAPPENS. g.) All Philippine Valuable Resources: Earth dirts or soil MINERALS shall be Processed produce inside Philippine to cater or solve employments problem...example Mountains of Mountains MINERALS in SURIGAO DEL NORTE AND SURIGAO DEL SUR produces gold,nickel,chrome, all valuable mineral elements found etc.. shall be Processed in the Philippine do not...till the mountain and exported. MINERALS found in that earth dirt ranges allegedly to 90% more, imagine only 10% is the waste. g.) PAYAMANIN NATIN ang ating BANSA hindi POLITICOS ang Payamanin natin...for hundreds and thousands years only Politicos ang yumaman ng yumaman...FILIPINOS carries the loads of increasing taxes...Capitalist and Politicos can by pass the taxes..Politicos they are the one making the Laws which all the time favors to them and favors to their favorite business companies and business individuals.BE PATRIOTIC.
A Country runs by Politics and motivated by politicos always be a Poor Country.But a Country runs by Dedicated Patriotic Individuals...is a Strong Country and will become a rich country. by:fel
Thinking Mind : FILIPINOS vs Any other Country 1.) Filipinos since Primitive Times or Ancient Period already a SMART People. They only get Filipinos by Force and being invaded. 2.)That's why many Countries can't Comprehend easily Filipinos actions. 3.)Other Countries could be easily DUPED. 4.) BUT Filipinos now a days because of being SMART tend to CORRUPT Filipino Brothers to gain and to acquire more WEALTH. Insights. : It's time to be Patriotic to Solidify our Country ...being the SMARTEST and to be UNIFIED even the smallest of the World ....We become a Powerful Country no Countries can invade us again. Take away Politicos and Politics it always ruin the Nation and the People.
Looking back at this vid. I'd say I was more impressed with the earlier parts of it because rarely does that part get tackled, up to the conflict with the early Spanish territory vs the Muslims. Helps also that the formatting of the video with a map as reference to the events he says makes it easier to understand/visualize
I’m Mexican & the similarities between both Mexico’s and the Philippines’s culture, cuisine religion, family values etc is shockingly similar! Nuestros primos asiáticos!🇲🇽🇵🇭
My father's ancestors came from Indonesia and my mother's came from Spain. Though I was born in the Philippines so I'm called Filipino. And Im proud of it!!!
Antonio Gragasin The Reason why there were strong presence of Muslim in the Philippines that time is because of OTTOMANS , they send Traiders and Missionaries .
Maybe yes mabye not. Because during that time when islam reaches the "pre hispanic philippines", Islmic World was under 1 banner 1 flag Under Ottoman or the so called Last Islamic Caliphate. But it doesnt mean that the Sultanate Of Sulu was Conquered by Ottomans.
We, Filipinos, tend to say "Tangkilikin ang sariling atin" which literally means to "love your own". But given how we were influenced by various cultures, colonized for hundreds of years, is there really something that we can truly call our own? Even our own country name isn't our own..
Yes. Pretty much. All I saw was a hot mess. I understand where I come from now in regards to the strong religious backgrounds and colonization throughout history ~ but it doesn't mean I like it. People are always guessing where I come from because I can pass as Mexican, Native American, Japanese, Chinese, Canadian etc. I've never been to any of those places 😆
Well Indigenous Ethnic people still exist. We exist, we're trying everything we can to keep our language, culture, practices & beliefs, making theses/research papers, studying the IPRA Laws & etc.
If we are to rename our country; *_Maharlika:_* so much issues, name deeply tied to the marcos family *_Ophir:_* ginoo ko! Conspiracy theory, barbers gossip, bias to the jews... So how about this; *_International name:_* Makronesia (big islands)《Opposite of Micronesia which is part of spanish east indies before》 *_Local Name:_* Angkapulawan (the islands) [Ang+ka-pulaw(malay word for island)-an] -*alt.*_ Bansang Kapulawan. Demonym Int'l: Makronesian Demonyn Local: Tagakapulawan (islanders) No religious bias, no ethnic bias, no historical bias, perfectly describes our geography and way of life...
When I thought Filipinos look Chinese, I met one who looked Samoan. When I met one who looked Samoan, I met one who looked Chinese. Some of them look like Latin Americans and Turkish. I can never tell what an original Filipino looks like and now I know why because of this video.
Sometimes people ask me if i have Turkish blood and I say maybe. I don’t know. Both parents are filipinos. I didn’t know the Ottomans went here way back in the day. Very interesting indeed.
Some ethnic groups are not colonized here in my country Philippines. And they are really the Native Filipino's. But if we trace it back from the past history of colonization of Spain, Japan, Americans, Almost all Filipino's are mixed raced.
Filipino look similar to Indonesian. Check the president of the Indonesia he looks Filipino and before they become indonesian they were called malayan people and the word indo it came from the indoism religion from india later it changed.

Didn't know we shared so much back in the days. Recently I have been really curious about Phillipines and their freedom revolution and how bravely they fought for their native country. Love from India.
My cousin was stationed in the Philippines during the Vietnam war. He always said it was his favorite place on earth. When he retired from the post office, he went back. And stayed! Hasn't back here for 15 years. It must be pretty all right.
If you’re American, you’d be considered rich in the Philippines because the Peso is literally a fraction of a cent, your brother might living pretty good over there.
@Meri See According to the Boxer Codex, there were some people from other countries. Chinese (obviously), Koreans and Japanese people were documented visiting/living in the island for whatever reason. I feel like the islands has always been this trade hub/tourist area for the rich which makes sense because of the location smack in the middle of a trade route. Too bad most of its pre-colonial history is literally burned and lost
I have a neighbor here in Cavite, peaceful and simple life. nature plants is one of his hobby. also the pension money has a bigger value compare to US itself.

i visited the philippines a month ago an amazing country full of humbleness people. as a northern mexican i would say phillipines is like south mexico but in asia
as a filipino, i didnt know the story of our pre colonial days as it was never discussed in school (they'd talk about Magellan first, etc.)! thank you for this!
Where I'm from I never saw another Filipino. I have no clue about the culture or anything about them. My dad is Filipino and I do not know his family. I would really like to reach out to other Filipinas.

Yup, just like they say Black's started out as slaves . Europeans always try to twist the story. There were black Pharaohs way before these European heathens came in. Words of advice. Never trust or take what a European says as face value. These were the same ones that says Christopher Columbus discovered America. People was already there.
Im a Chinese who used to work in the PH for 2 years.Most of the peoplw I met were very nice to me. I made some very close friends there. God bless the Philippines.
Manila traded with Acapulco Mexico for hundred years, I'm not actually surprised by aztecs and incans in the Philippines. But the Egyptians and ottomans did blew my mind.
It was said that gold that can only be found in the Philippines was found in Egyptian pyramids. That means our country was trade went as far as Africa. And it is said that many Europeans thought the gold was coming from Africa since they bought it from the Philippines
I like the fact that you did not begin your history with Magellan "discovery" of our islands. Philippines had intricate and advanced civilizations and settlement all across the archipelago.
@hotdog jones The igorots kept pure austronesian east asian farmer culture and herritage alive. No spanish, arab or indian influence just pure native filipino rice agricultural civilization.
I’m part black and Filipino and since I live in the us, we didn’t really learn about this in school so this is really help to getting to know my culture

This just happened to be on my recommendation feed and I love how they start the PH history to pre colonial unlike other people who always said that "The history of the Philippines started when a Portuguese, Magellan, discovered the Philippines."
Good to know all stages of history. But "being filipino" really started under spanish rule. Hard to admit but before that all of the tribes do not considered themselves "one people".
well yeah the name and word philippines only exist because of spain conquering and uniting the archipelago but the land of the philippines started from the beginning of this video
Magellan did not discover Philippines. There are people already living in that country until these so called "explorers" invade and kill thousands of Filipino for 300 years.
@@ChristianGonzalez-io3ft Blame your geography it was islands and islets and people are naturally divided. Had it been the nation was like Japan or UK in terms of continuous landmass I think philippnos today has strong sense of nationalism and identity.

I'm Dutch and the differences between our countries are so huge that I'm very interested in this culture and history. Just the fact that they're an archipellago of course says enough. This video was my first introduction to the country and now I'm even more intrigued. Thank you for uploading! I've only noticed that sometimes the voice over got cut off before continuing speaking. As if the sound suddenly stopped. I was watching with English subtitles on and these subtitles did continue the sentences that were cut off. You may want to look into that. :)
The Philippines is already "Hispanic" because Spain was involved. Everything that has connections or had connections to Spain is considered "Hispanic", thus, the Philippines can be considered a Hispanic Asian nation which depends on how you define the term "Hispanic" personally.
I like that this video focused more on the Pre-Hispanic side of the Philippines. Even in my schooling, I’ve never heard of the Majapahit Empire or the Islamic side of the Philippines apart from history youtubers such as yourself and self-studying in my part :3
Big Mouth - There was no such thing as "nation-states" before the 19th century. Greece, India, Germany, Italy, Saudi Arabia and Indonesia weren't countries yet. www.quora.com/Was-the-Philippines-ever-called-Maharlika/answer/Dayang-Marikit?ch=10&share=ac3f8f60&srid=iQMbJ
AbuMinar in my Elementary, I recall just briefly mentioning Pre-colonial life, but nothing with the Hindu Kingdoms, Islamic Sultanates within, or any outside influence. In HS, the focus really was just Spain and just Spain to the Philippines. I didn’t know anything about the circumstances that Spain went to the East Indies besides the “God, Gold, Glory” moniker that was so commonly said in those days :v
@@jasatotakouzeno4674 Yeah, I agree, the focus of history in the Philippines textbooks are all about our relationship to spain and usa, japan conquering us and president marcos. The textbooks do not go in-depth about our pre-colonial history. A good chunk of elementary and high school history can be summarized as "Spain colonized us and they did bad things".
@Big Mouth The first humans (Adam and Eve) lived in the present day Philippines. The Garden of Eden is in the the present day Philippines. Before anything else; ancestors of modern day Philippines were Hebrew.
They missed out the bit when Britain took the Philippines from the Spanish in 1764 but had to give it back because of a treaty between Britain and Spain in 1766
Actually the British didn't took all of the philippines but occupied a small part of the Philippines which is manila until the end of the 7 years war they only used Philippines as a Military Stationary Land so the british didn't do much to govern the occupied land like what you guys saying that the british were to ones who bring English in the Philippines
I appreciate the video in giving a great run down and summary of our people’s history. I did however notice the omission of the Philippine-American war, as well as the Moro rebellion that took place during American occupation. As a Filipino born in the US, American colonialism in the Philippines was only brought up one time in high school. I’m thankful to the US for the opportunities it has given me and my family, but I also recognize that the country may not always act in the best interest of people who look like me.
There are different eras in the philippines and in every era there will be a new religion or ideology that will come in and will be embraced by the people of the archipelago of the philippines.
@@baconbrown5783 I know that animism and shammanism are the first religions in the philippines because most filipinos before islam came worship the Bathala (Creator of the Heavens) and also the spirits of nature such as the diwatas and anitos. And most of the shammans in ancient philippines are women called babaylan. Hinduism and Buddhism only came later. And then the muslim merchants and missionaries came introducing sufi islam. Then the spaniards came and introduced catholicism. Then the brits came and only stayed for a short period of time. They then give back manila to the spaniards. And the americans then came and defeated the spaniards. Bringing in and introducing protestant christianity and judaism. Then the japanese came. And finally the philippine independence after japan was defeated.
Denmark once pitched a deal with America, basically Denmark will give Greenland to the US if the US gave the Philippines to Denmark. Edit: it nearly happened btw, it would've happened if Germany didn't occupy Denmark in ww2.
@@itsourtubenow9729 Oh boy, ever wondered what would happen to the Philippines if the deal got through and the Philippines were given to Denmark in exchange for Greenland to USA?
Iknow now the philippines history ilove my country as a filipino i live simple even poor.and love all the country was brought us a catholic were iam now
my grandpa once said ( he passed out in 2019 btw ) during martial law, every price has dropped down but the only problem is that the people doesn't have money, you really don't wanna live on that time period lol, he described that his family on that time was "poorer than a rat"
Philippines is very rich in history and rooted in diversity. In Philippines, our cuisine is diverse in usage of spices from around the world. An Austronician, Philippines language too, is diverse, enmeshed with Islam, Malay, English, Japanese, Chinese, making Tagalog a unique sound with a hint of many surrounding countries. Philippines is influencedly rich but its community’s heart is as pure as gold. In their life challenges, they are armoured with faith and trust in God, resilience, patience, laughter and many more characters compared to none other. As the newly President-elect stated, Pres. Bongbong Marcos, “Philippines is a friend to many, an enemy to none”.
The culture of Filipinos has grown throughout the years of colonization. Due to the influences brought by colonizers and traders, we would not have our culture now - filled with diversity and richness. This video has refreshed my memory about our history and the origin of our culture. As a student, I only recall parts that were given more attention in school. Specifically, this is from the period of Magellan’s arrival in the Philippines up to the present day. I commend the video creator for producing such a detailed and well-organized narration of the history of the Philippines. Discussing the history that goes way back to our pre-colonial roots did not only refresh my mind but helped me acquire more relevant knowledge. In 12 minutes, the narrator summarized our long history from the influences brought by the Indian culture to Southeast Asia up to the present Republic of the Philippines. The information provided by the video creator was carefully thought of as it showed a proper sequencing of events that happened in the Philippines. Our current practices, traditions, and beliefs are traced back to the significant events in the early eras. For instance, Filipinos have different beliefs and religions because of the introduction of Islam, Muslim, and Christianity brought by colonizers throughout the years. Due to the influences of the Indian culture, we were able to develop Baybayin and other traditional writings. With other countries’ desire to colonize the land full of riches and resources, the Philippines became a battleground for power and control. Even if such incidents happened, we still got our freedom and independence. This video made me realize how huge the impacts of other countries’ cultures are on our diverse and inclusive culture. To sum up, it was interesting that the video creator did not focus too much on the Hispanic period as it was not the only era that greatly influenced the Phillippines. They gave us comprehensive information regarding the pre-Hispanic period as well. Lastly, I would like to commend the video creator for using a credible source. They based the information on the published book, “The Roots of the Filipino Nation: Volume 2” of O.D. Corpuz. With this in mind, I would recommend people, especially young Filipinos, to watch this informative video to have a grasp of the Philippines History.
Honestly, school didn’t help that much in researching about the period of the Philippines, as you just memorise stuff, there are many museums in Manila to help (though I wish I can live there) and many of early Philippine history had been lost because of stuff
I am glad that we shared Sanskrit and mathematics. I have been following Philippines news for a long time now but wasn't aware that Hinduism was a part of the Philippines.... This video really explains things short and simple.. Love from India ❤❤❤
My German wife is a yoga teacher and she shares stories during her classes but they some of them were really familiar. That's when I realised that Philippine and Indian cultures are interconnected somehow. I've already heard the stories when I was a child! Greetings to my Indian brothers and sisters!

@@quenchtv5436 Yeah but according to genome project majority of the filipinos have southern chinese descent which surprises me and I also thought we are spanish descent but those peeps with spanish descent was the smallest.
@@larryjones4760Spanish Descendants is still big, although small in comparison with the Chinese, remember, that we are a hundred million populated country, and the continuous migration of Chinese here in the Philippines, in every era would have more mixing with them, in comparison to Spanish then, which already discontinued after the Second World War, many Hispanic Families have still links with their Ancestral lineage in the Americas and Europe, but the Hispanobia Narrative and Anti-Spanish Sentiments are shaming us of our family heritage and historical significance in the country. Also, Not all Spanish Mestizos are Rich now, majority of us are considered already like ordinary Filipinos, some become rich thru successful inheritance while some are fallen into poverty thru several means.
It's not the Americans who ousted the Spaniards, it's the Filipino revolutionists, the American's were just watching and waiting for the outcome of the war between Spain and Philippines. When the Spaniards were outhanded they thought it's a smart idea to sell the Philippines to the Americans than concede to the little brown Filipinos. So that's literally it, we weren't freed after winning the battle and have to endure another decades of hardships. You won't see this in most textbooks though.
I am an American citizen and have read some of the very cruel treatments after the Spaniards were defeated. Would you please tell me more of this history? I have Filipino friends who live there and I love them and respect them all. I am just wanting to learn as much as I can and understand more.
@@scotthess5496 I'm an American living in the Philippines. Here's the best and worst thing about Filipino and it's the SAME thing. Filipino don't hold a grudge. They prefer being nice to protecting themselves from people who don't even know HOW to be nice. Filipino don't cling to the past, which is why this history surprises so many of them. They live in today and hold hope for the future. If you want to really get the story, find a Filipino HISTORIAN and ask...or better still, come to this wonderful land, meet these beautiful people and enroll in a class taught by a FILIPINO professor of history. There's way more to learn than you will ever know from a discussion in any internet site.
Hafa adai! Indeed. From the Austronesian expansion to Spanish East Indies period to American and Japanese occupation. Hope you'd also be independent one day.

Well, yeah. We learned history in elementary days where we'll likely forget 'cause we were kids. 💀 Unless you had extremely strict parents, but if you don't, we'll likely forget them when we grow older. I honestly don't get why some people say 'you don't know this or you don't know this and that happened?? You learned it in elementary!' yeah, no shit I don't remember, I was a damn kid, how would I? Unless I had a gifted memory or was strictly made to study all the time. I barely remember anything I learned from elementary days 'cause I was just doing kid stuff and didn't take my academics that seriously lol.
I remember our grade 3 Math teacher getting fired because he "accidentally" impregnated a senior high school student. Lmao, like, potangena pareeeee, how do u impregnate a minor accidentally?
It was taught in our public elementary school, and again in our Catholic high school. European and Asian history were also taught in our high school. We had a good history teacher.

@@pingzcagz3487 Salamat po my friend you have just described the dirtiest profession in the world, the game of politics, of course it always includes the rich and powerful who control everything. I'm an American born citizen but my parents were immigrants from Hungary. The things you described are exactly what is being done in the USA right now. United even a tiny nation can succeed and become great. But divided, even the mightiest country in the world is sure to fall..
Lol I'm Filipino and the Ottoman Inca involvement was never taught in schools here. I've always wondered why Mindanao is predominantly Muslim now I get why.
I'm interested about the pre-colonial era in the Philippines and it's nice to get a glimpse of that here. As a Filipina, watching this video urge me to learn more.
This indicates that people from all the major continents (Asia, Europe, North America, Central and South America and even Africa) all converged in the Philippines. No wonder Filipinos look so diverse.
we are one of few (i don't know the others) countries that has ethnic ambiguity. Also one of the reasons why to this this day, we still fighting our identity -- if you haven't heard of it, we have identity crisis. But all of those can be squashed by saying we are pinoys and yes we have influences but from this day ownwards, we make our own identity. But nope.. we all fight about where we're from, who are ancestries are and many thinks because of ancient ancestral links, we think we are them.. (case in point.. filipinos thinking we are pacific islanders, latinos). but yeah, in a nutshell.. we are filipinos, who adopted and adapted the ways of other civilizations and incorporated it to our own and and owned it! two examples; Aroz Caldo - is a filipino dish. The name itself is spanish, the whole two words of it! But the dish itself has nothing to do with spanish. It's an adaptation of a chinese congee.. Chavacano -- yeah.. thats us (me).. that's a group of people who speak a spanish creole language... I'm guessing, that term came from the spanish word Chabacano.. but we changed the B to a V.. because if you think about it. the word chabacano doesn't really sound all that great.. but by changing it to V.. voila!!! we can own it! .. wierd but yeah.. that's us.
well I always imagine philippines is somewhat exotic like Bali indonesia a long long time ago... until different foreign influences came in and changed it
Indonesia and Malaysia are Hindu-Buddhist Religion before, until Arab trader came in those places and I think if Majapahit Empire never fall, Philippines is have chance to be Hindu-Buddhist like truly culture of SEA
All pre-hispanic tribe no matter how remote was influenced by Hinduism. When Islam arrived. Islam only have specific areas. In our island, Islam was never succeed. Even though the Philippines is now majority Catholic, the Hindu beliefs and practices is still intact. We still believe in Gaba (Bad Karma), some believes in reincarnation, some believes in Mariit (Guards of Nature), and so many more. Philippines is more of Animist and Hindu than you ever thought.
only the rulers and precolonial upper class were hindu-buddhist, the majority of the common precolonial people were animists who later on syncretize some few influences from the hindu-buddhist ways. islam also wasnt that big in precolonial philippines. only sulu, maguindanao, lanao, palawan, and parts of maynila were muslim, meaning only the western encrouching edges nearest to malaysia and indonesia had muslim influences and many of them like those in maynila only had nominal muslim rulers in name just to be able to have closer diplomatic ties with those in malaysia and indonesia
Just when I thought I was already a history nerd, then the information came that Aztecs and the Ottomans also battled in the Philippines. Whoa that's cool.
For some reason I'm kind of not shocked Aztecs, Mayans, and Incas were sent to the Philippines to fight against the Ottomans, Indians, Egyptians, ect because today a lot of descendants of those Indians are Hispanics. Most Hispanics have a mix between Native American, Spanish, and African ancestry. I'm half Hispanic and I did a dna test and I found out I was 15% Native American and 15% Spanish. My dad has to be at least over 30% Native American if I am half Hispanic and I have 15%.
This is the reason why we use the words "tiangge" and "palengke" in day to day Filipino conversation...those words were originated from the native inhabitants of Mexico...
@Julian Zehf Filipinos are Hispanic. I'm Filipino and I'm proud to be one. We even have more similarities with Latin America than our own asian neighbours. 🇵🇭
@janjan de vil yes Philippines is Hispanic coz hispanidad is not all about language everything about the Culture of Philippines is Spanish just except the language
As someone who’s Mexican, it’s very surprising that some Native Mexicans actually fought with native Philippines and some actually stated there! Didn’t know our history and culture was this connected!
Yep, History is a real determining factor. that might explain the familiarity in us. we're literally bros from another mother- well more like the abusive step dad aka the Spaniards until the Brits liberated us now I've become a nihilistic/depressed man 💀
you mean greedy europians : is this a christian colony ?! Spaniards committed horrible genocides against the Muslim Philippines and forced Christianity on all south america and the Philippines .
I am half Filipino myself - never left Canada in my life and was raised Canadian. It'd be neat to experience the land of my ancestors. I love the cold too much to leave, though.
Thank you so much for contributing the History of our country in the Philippines. I was born during the Liberation 1948 and raised there . My Dad was with the Army of Gen. McArthur in WW ll . God bless 😇 you Sir and , your narration of the Philippine History. Am more than obliged. More prosperity in your undertakings.
THEY DONT HAVE THE LUXURY TO CHASE THE IGOROT IN THE MOUNTAINS, LIKE IN MINDANAO,THE LAST COLONIAL MASTER, THEY WENT FOR THE EASY ACCESS LOW LAND AREA.THEY CAME FOR THE ONE HAS NO STOMACH TO FIGHT. MAGELLAN FUCKING WITH THE DUDE, LAPU LAPU KICK HIS HALF BREED ASS.
Spain had never conquer the vast area of Mindanao Island. The Sultanate of Sulu was always successful in maintaining the integrity of its dominion, and prevailed whenever an armada of Hispanic soldiers attempts to invade. It became weaker at the time when the Americans made a treacherous act with the Sultanate of Sulu, and they befell upon the promise of integration as one Philippine nation. Its not written in the Philippine history but the elders in some Muslim Mindanao communities knows about this part of the history. The Sultanate of Sulu was always independent and very powerful dominion back in its prime days despite the numerous attacks staged by Spanish soldiers.
Well, the Spanish weren't also able to conquer and find that small spot of land in Luzon Thao, because it's soo well hidden that they never even went to venture it.
@@weightycarlos it's actually because they believe that females have more connections to Kaluwalhatian. Since mostly of our PhilMyth gods are either gay (Like general gay) or female.
They were probably just hired mercenaries sent by the Ottomans. Ottomans were far more busy invading Europe than concentrating on what was happening in some far flung backwater to be honest.
@@tyisen5125 no doubt about that. Main forces would be concentrated in Eastern Europe and in the Meditteranean though. I doubt they would spend that time, money and manpower over a backwater region. These were again, probably just hired mercenaries. Ottoman forces when waging war would number in the hundreds of thousands. Battles in Southeast Asia rarely reached numbers like these, which made them very easy prey due to the nature of how Europeans played war.
@@pinoygamingedition5915 Ottomans don't have mercenaries though, so I'd say they might have been Turkish pirates employed by the Ottoman government in Istanbul. They were tied to Yemen and the Ottoman military there, and acted relatively autonomously. But in exchange of money? Unlikely
As a Filipino I say you missed the most important events of Philippine History, like the Katipunan, Filipino-Spanish & Filipino-American war, Malolos Republic, etc🗿
Khair Najmi Haji Saidi There were a lot of confrontations between Muslim and Christian privateers in Indian ocean at that time. The Portuguese and other europeans were notorious regarding looting Hajj pilgrims from south and south east asia. So there were many skirmishes
@@sal1500 I have watched the video,but there is no mention about Ottoman aid. As far as I know Ottoman aided Indonesian Sultanates. Indonesia was there most eastward extension.
i love this! if you didnt know i live in maguindanao and im a maguindanaon muslim and i love my history i love araling panlipunan its like it has so much stories even maguindanao existed before it was discovered! i love my hero sultan kudarat (muhammad dipatuan kudarat)
In the year 2099 a.d., the new global power called the "P&P (Philippine & Polish) federation" now controls ⅔ of the earth's economy, resources, cultural media, and now has bases on the moon and Mars.
Thanks to this video, we were able to learn a lot of things that are not usually taught in school. Through this, I was able to learn not only the history of the Philippines, but also what Filipinos experienced and what they witnessed. It helps me understand the essence of the Philippines culture and faith.

As I mentioned in an earlier post but was not published you have to correct your history. The Filipinos rebelled against Spain in 1896 and declared its own independence in June 12,1898 with its first president Emilio Aguinaldo. At around the same time the US and Spain had a war that ended in Spain seceding Guam and Puerto Rico and selling Philippines to the US for $20M. The US proceeded to colonize the new Independent Philippines which ended in over 200K Filipino casualties. Philippines became a US colony until WW2 where Filipinos were conscripted in the US Armed Forces that fought the Japanese occupants.

This is true, Aztes and Incans were used by the Spanish to fortify the Philippines and Ottomans hired Egyptians and Indian Muslims to help their Muslim allies in Southeast Asia.
Here are the references!
...Incans in Zamboanga, Philippines...
"Second Book of the Second Part of the Conquests of the Filipinas Islands, and Chronicle of the Religious of Our Father, St. Augustine" (Zamboanga City History) "He (Governor Don Sebastían Hurtado de Corcuera) brought a great reënforcements of soldiers, many of them from Peru, as he made his voyage to Acapulco from that kingdom."
www.zamboanga.com/html/history_1634_moro_attacks.htm
...Aztecs and Mayans in Manila, Philippines...
"In 1637 the military force maintained in the islands consisted of one thousand seven hundred and two Spaniards and one hundred and forty Indians." ~Memorial de D. Juan Grau y Monfalcon, Procurador General de las Islas Filipinas, Docs. Inéditos del Archivo de Indias, vi, p. 425. "In 1787 the garrison at Manila consisted of one regiment of Mexicans comprising one thousand three hundred men, two artillery companies of eighty men each, three cavalry companies of fifty men each." La Pérouse, ii, p. 368.
...Ottomans and their hired help (Egyptians, Somalis, Malabaris and Indian Muslims) sent to help Muslims in Southeast Asia...
An informal Ottoman-Aceh alliance had existed since at least the 1530s.[3] Sultan Alauddin wished to develop these relations, both to attempt the expulsion of the Portuguese in Malacca, and to extend his own power in Sumatra.[3] According to accounts written by the Portuguese Admiral Fernão Mendes Pinto, the Ottoman Empire fleet that first arrived in Aceh consisted of 300 Ottomans (Including Egyptians), Swahilis, Somalis from Mogadishu and various city states, Sindhis from Debal and Thatta, Gujaratis from Surat, and some 200 Malabar sailors of Janjira to aid the Batak region and the Maritime Southeast Asia in 1539.[3]
Following the 1562 embassy, Aceh appeared to have already received Ottoman reinforcements building its capacity and allowing it to conquer the Sultanates of Aru and Johor in 1564.[3]
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottoman_expedition_to_Aceh
But it is not a fight between Inca Emperor and Pharaoh.
Ottomans fighting Aztecs, Mayans and Incas in the Phillipines is not something I expected to hear about today
Indeed!
Respect Ottomans (Turkey) From the Philippines
None of those things ever happened.
Prince Stingy oh? Please elaborate:)
@@SindrewinoI mean they didn't fucking happen. Just like the were no Chinese in ancient Maya, or aliens in ancient Greece.
The Philippines has a diverse history. Started from Hinduism and Buddhism Influence, then to Islamic Influence where Trading Grew and Flourished, then to the Spanish Empire where Catholicism grew, then to become a US Colony where Protestantism and the English Language Grew , then to become occupied by the Japanese Empire, and then finally become independent. Now that’s crazy
I love how this starts with pre colonial era and not with "whEn mAgEllan fOund the pHilippines"💕
Rooted Untouchable Political Power of the PHILIPPINE.Grow bigger unstoppable.
Election time:
1.Politicos always giving money to selected areas the day before election day.
2.Politicos giving foods or other products
during election campaigns.
3.Politicos are allowed being sponsored by Business Individuals.
4.Incumbent Politicos always has the edge of intimidating factors towards his locals.
5.Incumbent Politicos if facing LAW SUIT against them easily get TRO'S . The game of TRO'S s introduced especially if the Politicos in alliances with political parties of the Administration. Now is TRO protecting FILIPINOS? Or TRO only applied to rich Individuals and even so rich POLITICOS?
How about ordinary FILIPINOS not heard of getting TROs. PLEASE let the LAW of the Land be fair to all Citizen.Most likely Politicos are prone to CORRUPTION and yet always get favored by the LAWS. People needs a PATRIOTIC LAWS OF THE LAND. FILIPINOS always had a bad impression: Who ever pays more the LAW'S getting favored,the Wise is silent the stupid gets multiplied...but don't forget with these awareness you shall be CURSED ...by the People getting affected.
.
6. Tinatakot factor : Incumbent Mayors,Kagawad,Congressman,Senator...Pag kinukwestion ang Kaban ng Bayan ng isang munting mamamayan....na walang kalaban laban at alam nila walang laban dahil walang pambayad sa abogado...PINIPERSONAL ng Politicos ang Laban imbes na sagutin ang issue...Ginugutom nila ang Pamelya dahil tinuring kalaban sa Politica....masaklap pa tinatangal sa trabaho,pag may calamity at humihingi ng tulong sa governo hindi binibigyan at hindi kasama sa mga ayuda.
7. Politicos pays Millions for mainstream medias for advertising..ex.GMA7,ABS-CBN etc.
8. Calamity funds, Donation funds...Intelligence funds especially outgoing Politicos for their last term never use Millions of savings.The question is where do millions go?
I believed all of these are the basic root caused of CORRUPTION.
WHY ALL POLITICOS SILENT ABOUT THESE? WHY THERE IS NO FORCEFUL LAWS about these? Is it because all of them shares the benefit of it?
That's why they are expending millions of millions?And still no truest LAWS on the Land.?
Itong yung sinasabi binibilog lang utak natin sa mga Politicos natin...tapus kanya kanya tayong kampi sa bawat grupo nila.
Pag nanalo POLITICOS mo syempre talo ang kabila...panahon ng CALAMITY kinakawawa mo yung kalaban sa politica...kunti lang binibigay na budgets para sa tulong kadalasan walang tulong.
For hundreds and thousands years uunlad ba BANSA natin yan?
Winning Politicos after Elections:
1.Its the time of taking back what was expended.
2.Aggressive to the money making LAWS even if it is depriving dignities of the many Filipinos example.CPD LAW by Trililanes. Universal Health Care For OFWs being imposed.
3.Using government funds like..SSS,GSIS,PHILHEALTH...for whatever purposes.
This is awareness for all FILIPINOS
rather than saying we could not help to stop CORRUPTION.
WE SHOULD BE PATRIOTIC and Solidify FILIPINOS for one purpose to defend our Territory soon. PAYAMANIN natin ang ating BANSA hindi yung POLITICOS ang PAYAMANIN NATIN....BE PATRIOTIC.
ACT NOW NOT LATER DEFEND OUR TERRITORY SOON.
The turmoil of cultured virus starts attacking, somehow someday...if we couldn't keep up with the advancement
War Technology, we always left behind...and may be invaded again.
IF YOU ARE TRUE FILIPINO..:
1.) Willing to do SACRIFICES to be PATRIOTIC.
a.) Step down from Senator,step down from Congress.
b.) Proceed to FEDERALISM and PARLIAMENTARY GOVERNMENT.
c.) WILLING to SACRIFICE NOT TO PRACTICE CORRUPTION and Perpetuate Corruption from the smallest.
d.) STRENGTHENED the Law of the Land Equality no more TRO...TRO only the rich benefited and the Politicos benefited.
e.) PATRIOTIC values being thought to schools.
f.) Political Parties must be discouraged instead Characterized QUALITY LEADER'S guidelines.PATRIOTIC Leader.
Political Parties resulted to PEOPLE Divisions very bad resulted also to arguing,killings. selected favoritism, instead of PUBLIC SERVANT resulted to Political SERVANTS. Instead of solving Problems they are solving Problems to lift their Political Parties rather than solving the Problem for the PEOPLE for the FILIPINOS.DIVISION HAPPENS.
g.) All Philippine Valuable Resources:
Earth dirts or soil MINERALS shall be Processed produce inside Philippine to cater or solve employments problem...example Mountains of Mountains MINERALS in SURIGAO DEL NORTE AND SURIGAO DEL SUR produces gold,nickel,chrome, all valuable mineral elements found etc.. shall be Processed in the Philippine do not...till the mountain and exported. MINERALS found in that earth dirt ranges allegedly to 90% more, imagine only 10% is the waste.
g.) PAYAMANIN NATIN ang ating BANSA hindi POLITICOS ang Payamanin natin...for hundreds and thousands years only Politicos ang yumaman ng yumaman...FILIPINOS carries the loads of increasing taxes...Capitalist and Politicos can by pass the taxes..Politicos they are the one making the Laws which all the time favors to them and favors to their favorite business companies and business individuals.BE PATRIOTIC.
A Country runs by Politics and motivated by politicos always be a Poor Country.But a Country runs by Dedicated Patriotic Individuals...is a Strong Country and will become a rich country. by:fel
Thinking Mind :
FILIPINOS vs Any other Country
1.) Filipinos since Primitive Times or Ancient Period already a SMART People.
They only get Filipinos by Force and being invaded.
2.)That's why many Countries can't Comprehend easily Filipinos actions.
3.)Other Countries could be easily DUPED.
4.) BUT Filipinos now a days because of being SMART tend to CORRUPT Filipino Brothers to gain and to acquire more WEALTH.
Insights. : It's time to be Patriotic to Solidify our Country ...being the SMARTEST and to be UNIFIED even the smallest of the World ....We become a Powerful Country no Countries can invade us again. Take away Politicos and Politics it always ruin the Nation and the People.

We, Filipinos, tend to say "Tangkilikin ang sariling atin" which literally means to "love your own". But given how we were influenced by various cultures, colonized for hundreds of years, is there really something that we can truly call our own? Even our own country name isn't our own..
Yes. Pretty much. All I saw was a hot mess. I understand where I come from now in regards to the strong religious backgrounds and colonization throughout history ~ but it doesn't mean I like it. People are always guessing where I come from because I can pass as Mexican, Native American, Japanese, Chinese, Canadian etc. I've never been to any of those places 😆

What I like about this video is that it shows that our history started way before the spanish came.
me too
agreed, almost all of the "history of the Philippines" videos I've seen had always started in the Spanish colonial era.
Yup, just like they say Black's started out as slaves . Europeans always try to twist the story. There were black Pharaohs way before these European heathens came in. Words of advice. Never trust or take what a European says as face value. These were the same ones that says Christopher Columbus discovered America. People was already there.
yeah . because spanish wiped out our ancestors culture,relegion

Manila traded with Acapulco Mexico for hundred years, I'm not actually surprised by aztecs and incans in the Philippines. But the Egyptians and ottomans did blew my mind.
It was said that gold that can only be found in the Philippines was found in Egyptian pyramids. That means our country was trade went as far as Africa. And it is said that many Europeans thought the gold was coming from Africa since they bought it from the Philippines
IF EVER BEEN IN SOME PART IN SOUTHERN LUZON ,THERES A STRONG RESEMBLANCE OF EGYTIANS and TURKS.

This just happened to be on my recommendation feed and I love how they start the PH history to pre colonial unlike other people who always said that "The history of the Philippines started when a Portuguese, Magellan, discovered the Philippines."
Hard agree! I think most filipinos want to learn more about pre-colonial history and culture.
Good to know all stages of history. But "being filipino" really started under spanish rule. Hard to admit but before that all of the tribes do not considered themselves "one people".
well yeah the name and word philippines only exist because of spain conquering and uniting the archipelago but the land of the philippines started from the beginning of this video

The Philippines is already "Hispanic" because Spain was involved. Everything that has connections or had connections to Spain is considered "Hispanic", thus, the Philippines can be considered a Hispanic Asian nation which depends on how you define the term "Hispanic" personally.
I like that this video focused more on the Pre-Hispanic side of the Philippines. Even in my schooling, I’ve never heard of the Majapahit Empire or the Islamic side of the Philippines apart from history youtubers such as yourself and self-studying in my part :3
Big Mouth - There was no such thing as "nation-states" before the 19th century. Greece, India, Germany, Italy, Saudi Arabia and Indonesia weren't countries yet.

I went to a public school and these topics were taught in Elementary, up to highschool.
AbuMinar in my Elementary, I recall just briefly mentioning Pre-colonial life, but nothing with the Hindu Kingdoms, Islamic Sultanates within, or any outside influence. In HS, the focus really was just Spain and just Spain to the Philippines. I didn’t know anything about the circumstances that Spain went to the East Indies besides the “God, Gold, Glory” moniker that was so commonly said in those days :v
@@jasatotakouzeno4674 Yeah, I agree, the focus of history in the Philippines textbooks are all about our relationship to spain and usa, japan conquering us and president marcos. The textbooks do not go in-depth about our pre-colonial history. A good chunk of elementary and high school history can be summarized as "Spain colonized us and they did bad things".
@Big Mouth The first humans (Adam and Eve) lived in the present day Philippines.
The Garden of Eden is in the the present day Philippines.
Before anything else; ancestors of modern day Philippines were Hebrew.
They missed out the bit when Britain took the Philippines from the Spanish in 1764 but had to give it back because of a treaty between Britain and Spain in 1766
That’s what I thought that UK was the Philippines first English teacher
Just want to add, after the British withdrew many Sepoy (Indian) soldiers refused to leave the Philippines. Most of them eventually settled in Rizal.
Actually the British didn't took all of the philippines but occupied a small part of the Philippines which is manila until the end of the 7 years war they only used Philippines as a Military Stationary Land so the british didn't do much to govern the occupied land like what you guys saying that the british were to ones who bring English in the Philippines
Ikr
Yeah
I appreciate the video in giving a great run down and summary of our people’s history. I did however notice the omission of the Philippine-American war, as well as the Moro rebellion that took place during American occupation. As a Filipino born in the US, American colonialism in the Philippines was only brought up one time in high school. I’m thankful to the US for the opportunities it has given me and my family, but I also recognize that the country may not always act in the best interest of people who look like me.

I know that animism and shammanism are the first religions in the philippines because most filipinos before islam came worship the Bathala (Creator of the Heavens) and also the spirits of nature such as the diwatas and anitos. And most of the shammans in ancient philippines are women called babaylan. Hinduism and Buddhism only came later. And then the muslim merchants and missionaries came introducing sufi islam. Then the spaniards came and introduced catholicism. Then the brits came and only stayed for a short period of time. They then give back manila to the spaniards. And the americans then came and defeated the spaniards. Bringing in and introducing protestant christianity and judaism. Then the japanese came. And finally the philippine independence after japan was defeated.

Philippines is very rich in history and rooted in diversity. In Philippines, our cuisine is diverse in usage of spices from around the world. An Austronician, Philippines language too, is diverse, enmeshed with Islam, Malay, English, Japanese, Chinese, making Tagalog a unique sound with a hint of many surrounding countries. Philippines is influencedly rich but its community’s heart is as pure as gold. In their life challenges, they are armoured with faith and trust in God, resilience, patience, laughter and many more characters compared to none other. As the newly President-elect stated, Pres. Bongbong Marcos, “Philippines is a friend to many, an enemy to none”.
I wouldn't mind making some Philippines history with YOU💞
The culture of Filipinos has grown throughout the years of colonization. Due to the influences brought by colonizers and traders, we would not have our culture now - filled with diversity and richness. This video has refreshed my memory about our history and the origin of our culture. As a student, I only recall parts that were given more attention in school. Specifically, this is from the period of Magellan’s arrival in the Philippines up to the present day. I commend the video creator for producing such a detailed and well-organized narration of the history of the Philippines. Discussing the history that goes way back to our pre-colonial roots did not only refresh my mind but helped me acquire more relevant knowledge. In 12 minutes, the narrator summarized our long history from the influences brought by the Indian culture to Southeast Asia up to the present Republic of the Philippines. The information provided by the video creator was carefully thought of as it showed a proper sequencing of events that happened in the Philippines. Our current practices, traditions, and beliefs are traced back to the significant events in the early eras. For instance, Filipinos have different beliefs and religions because of the introduction of Islam, Muslim, and Christianity brought by colonizers throughout the years. Due to the influences of the Indian culture, we were able to develop Baybayin and other traditional writings. With other countries’ desire to colonize the land full of riches and resources, the Philippines became a battleground for power and control. Even if such incidents happened, we still got our freedom and independence. This video made me realize how huge the impacts of other countries’ cultures are on our diverse and inclusive culture. To sum up, it was interesting that the video creator did not focus too much on the Hispanic period as it was not the only era that greatly influenced the Phillippines. They gave us comprehensive information regarding the pre-Hispanic period as well. Lastly, I would like to commend the video creator for using a credible source. They based the information on the published book, “The Roots of the Filipino Nation: Volume 2” of O.D. Corpuz. With this in mind, I would recommend people, especially young Filipinos, to watch this informative video to have a grasp of the Philippines History.
Honestly, school didn’t help that much in researching about the period of the Philippines, as you just memorise stuff, there are many museums in Manila to help (though I wish I can live there) and many of early Philippine history had been lost because of stuff

It's not the Americans who ousted the Spaniards, it's the Filipino revolutionists, the American's were just watching and waiting for the outcome of the war between Spain and Philippines. When the Spaniards were outhanded they thought it's a smart idea to sell the Philippines to the Americans than concede to the little brown Filipinos. So that's literally it, we weren't freed after winning the battle and have to endure another decades of hardships. You won't see this in most textbooks though.

I'm interested about the pre-colonial era in the Philippines and it's nice to get a glimpse of that here. As a Filipina, watching this video urge me to learn more.
This indicates that people from all the major continents (Asia, Europe, North America, Central and South America and even Africa) all converged in the Philippines. No wonder Filipinos look so diverse.
Indeed
we are one of few (i don't know the others) countries that has ethnic ambiguity. Also one of the reasons why to this this day, we still fighting our identity -- if you haven't heard of it, we have identity crisis. But all of those can be squashed by saying we are pinoys and yes we have influences but from this day ownwards, we make our own identity. But nope.. we all fight about where we're from, who are ancestries are and many thinks because of ancient ancestral links, we think we are them.. (case in point.. filipinos thinking we are pacific islanders, latinos).
but yeah, in a nutshell.. we are filipinos, who adopted and adapted the ways of other civilizations and incorporated it to our own and and owned it! two examples;
Aroz Caldo - is a filipino dish. The name itself is spanish, the whole two words of it! But the dish itself has nothing to do with spanish. It's an adaptation of a chinese congee..
Chavacano -- yeah.. thats us (me).. that's a group of people who speak a spanish creole language... I'm guessing, that term came from the spanish word Chabacano.. but we changed the B to a V.. because if you think about it. the word chabacano doesn't really sound all that great.. but by changing it to V.. voila!!! we can own it! .. wierd but yeah.. that's us.

Do i take that as a compliment? Hehe
And some people still say that were are "pure bred" and have no mixed blood. I doubt that.
Never knew that Philippines used to be Hindu-Buddhist and as always foreign invaders ruined that
I never knew they were Muslim for a short while.
Lucky for the women that changed.
well I always imagine philippines is somewhat exotic like Bali indonesia a long long time ago... until different foreign influences came in and changed it
Indonesia and Malaysia are Hindu-Buddhist Religion before, until Arab trader came in those places and I think if Majapahit Empire never fall, Philippines is have chance to be Hindu-Buddhist like truly culture of SEA
All pre-hispanic tribe no matter how remote was influenced by Hinduism. When Islam arrived. Islam only have specific areas. In our island, Islam was never succeed. Even though the Philippines is now majority Catholic, the Hindu beliefs and practices is still intact. We still believe in Gaba (Bad Karma), some believes in reincarnation, some believes in Mariit (Guards of Nature), and so many more. Philippines is more of Animist and Hindu than you ever thought.
only the rulers and precolonial upper class were hindu-buddhist, the majority of the common precolonial people were animists who later on syncretize some few influences from the hindu-buddhist ways. islam also wasnt that big in precolonial philippines. only sulu, maguindanao, lanao, palawan, and parts of maynila were muslim, meaning only the western encrouching edges nearest to malaysia and indonesia had muslim influences and many of them like those in maynila only had nominal muslim rulers in name just to be able to have closer diplomatic ties with those in malaysia and indonesia
Just when I thought I was already a history nerd, then the information came that Aztecs and the Ottomans also battled in the Philippines. Whoa that's cool.
Aztec Empire was no more during that time it was the people of the former Aztec and governed by the Spanish Empire.
@@Rey-lg8sx yeah the indigenous people were always around even if their empires vanished.

Amazing even ottoman empire reach the country! GOOSEBUMPS!😍
Enormous history with so many connections to other cultures.🙏💜
For some reason I'm kind of not shocked Aztecs, Mayans, and Incas were sent to the Philippines to fight against the Ottomans, Indians, Egyptians, ect because today a lot of descendants of those Indians are Hispanics. Most Hispanics have a mix between Native American, Spanish, and African ancestry. I'm half Hispanic and I did a dna test and I found out I was 15% Native American and 15% Spanish. My dad has to be at least over 30% Native American if I am half Hispanic and I have 15%.
This is the reason why we use the words "tiangge" and "palengke" in day to day Filipino conversation...those words were originated from the native inhabitants of Mexico...

As someone who’s Mexican, it’s very surprising that some Native Mexicans actually fought with native Philippines and some actually stated there! Didn’t know our history and culture was this connected!
Our first emperor was mexican....
Our second emperor was hirohito🤣😅🥲
Yep, History is a real determining factor. that might explain the familiarity in us. we're literally bros from another mother- well more like the abusive step dad aka the Spaniards until the Brits liberated us now I've become a nihilistic/depressed man 💀
Literally any place: exists
Islam: Is this a Sultanate?
Could be a nice Sultanate.
Tasin Al-Hassan What? This isn't a sultanate?
@@madwolf0966 If it is ruled by a Sultan,it is a Sultanate.
Tasin Al-Hassan Bit you still lost the Islands
you mean greedy europians : is this a christian colony ?!
Spaniards committed horrible genocides against the Muslim Philippines and forced Christianity on all south america and the Philippines .
Philippines: We Are Free!!!
USA: Well YES But Actually NO.
Aleksandar Vil I don't think you're free but rather under new management
@V5 In Megamind MEME??
about a million of our people died during the subsequent Philippine-American war. one of the most forgotten tragedy of Philippine history.
Aleksandar Vil Ye
We could have let the Japanese stay if thats would have been better?
I definitely wish to visit this land someday. I’ve met a lot of good people from The Philippines and am fascinated by the cultures and peoples there.
Yah mate! This country is good weather and beaches
Nice sir
I am half Filipino myself - never left Canada in my life and was raised Canadian. It'd be neat to experience the land of my ancestors. I love the cold too much to leave, though.

Ur welcome in our country philippines was so beautiful..
The Philippines: The tiniest, loveliest people, endlessly dealing with the most typhoon-ridden region of the planet. Quite a garden of Eden.
just imagine an Assassins Creed plot based on these facts. wow
That would be so diverse and epic
It would be like an Assasin Creed Odyssey
I would like to see that happen
Eu 10 so it’s time to suggest it to Ubisoft company 😅

Thank you so much for contributing the History of our country in the Philippines. I was born during the Liberation 1948 and raised there . My Dad was with the Army of Gen. McArthur in WW ll . God bless 😇 you Sir and , your narration of the Philippine History. Am more than obliged. More prosperity in your undertakings.
spain didn't conquer the cordillera northern luzon where the igorots tribes also known head hunters of the philippines
Same with the Sulu Archipelago.
THEY DONT HAVE THE LUXURY TO CHASE THE IGOROT IN THE MOUNTAINS, LIKE IN MINDANAO,THE LAST COLONIAL MASTER, THEY WENT FOR THE EASY ACCESS LOW LAND AREA.THEY CAME FOR THE ONE HAS NO STOMACH TO FIGHT. MAGELLAN FUCKING WITH THE DUDE, LAPU LAPU KICK HIS HALF BREED ASS.
nakaka proud pag may topic na Philippines history globally
im proud being Filipino
Spain had never conquer the vast area of Mindanao Island. The Sultanate of Sulu was always successful in maintaining the integrity of its dominion, and prevailed whenever an armada of Hispanic soldiers attempts to invade. It became weaker at the time when the Americans made a treacherous act with the Sultanate of Sulu, and they befell upon the promise of integration as one Philippine nation. Its not written in the Philippine history but the elders in some Muslim Mindanao communities knows about this part of the history. The Sultanate of Sulu was always independent and very powerful dominion back in its prime days despite the numerous attacks staged by Spanish soldiers.
Thanks for posting this 👍 been there twice but never knew in depth it's history like this fine documentary.
Great video. An amazing country with a rich history. Love from Peru, we are brotherly nations that shares an unlikely history.
Gracias hermanos desde Filipinas!🇵🇭🇵🇪
There is also a brief moment when The British invaded Manila
they invade and settled for only 2 years i think
@@lanicomandante7839 i wonder what will happen to Philippines if the Brits succeeded
@@spire2171 Probably another boring history in the list of boring colonies of britain.

We would've been the only Asians sipping tea Georgian style.
The Spanish Empire weren’t able to conquer all of Mindanao though, especially the Sulu group of islands
Bobo lang yata pupunta sa Sulu at Tawi-Tawi
Yes. This video clip contains many mistakes.
Well, the Spanish weren't also able to conquer and find that small spot of land in Luzon Thao, because it's soo well hidden that they never even went to venture it.
Keatkhamjorn Meekanon be constructive with your feedback and give details where he made mistakes. I am also curious to see which part he messed up. 🤔
Muslims are tough
this has been one of those rare videos with close to accurate pronunciations of Filipino words. Well done, sir!
Fun fact: Pre-colonized Filipinos had great gender equality.
Even some babaylans were gays 😍😍
@@imgonewiththewindfab Right? Them being gay didn't hinder them from being shamans and warriors.
@@weightycarlos it's actually because they believe that females have more connections to Kaluwalhatian. Since mostly of our PhilMyth gods are either gay (Like general gay) or female.
some countries in africa became more homophobic because of colonialism too
Faxxx
I didn't know there were Ottomans who fought against Spanish in Philippines. Hmmm. Any reference?
They were probably just hired mercenaries sent by the Ottomans. Ottomans were far more busy invading Europe than concentrating on what was happening in some far flung backwater to be honest.
Lol right
While mainstream Ottoman attention would be on Safavids, Habsburgs and Russians, expeditions were made to many places.
@@tyisen5125 no doubt about that. Main forces would be concentrated in Eastern Europe and in the Meditteranean though. I doubt they would spend that time, money and manpower over a backwater region. These were again, probably just hired mercenaries. Ottoman forces when waging war would number in the hundreds of thousands. Battles in Southeast Asia rarely reached numbers like these, which made them very easy prey due to the nature of how Europeans played war.
@@pinoygamingedition5915 Ottomans don't have mercenaries though, so I'd say they might have been Turkish pirates employed by the Ottoman government in Istanbul. They were tied to Yemen and the Ottoman military there, and acted relatively autonomously. But in exchange of money? Unlikely
Perfect for my Quarantine, I want to know more about the Philippines especially the fact that im living in the Philippines
Watch The God Culture if want to dig deeper about the real history of the Philippines.
As a Filipino I say you missed the most important events of Philippine History, like the Katipunan, Filipino-Spanish & Filipino-American war, Malolos Republic, etc🗿
Bruneian here, never knew that Ottomans took part in the war when Brunei went against the Spaniards :O
Khair Najmi Haji Saidi There were a lot of confrontations between Muslim and Christian privateers in Indian ocean at that time. The Portuguese and other europeans were notorious regarding looting Hajj pilgrims from south and south east asia. So there were many skirmishes
Assalamualaikum from The Philippines 🇵🇭

Poland: *Gets conquered by many foreign powers
Philippines: *Also gets conquered by many foreign powers
Poland: First time?
Sumi God the most ironic part was that most of that damage was caused by US bombers while trying to liberate the damn place.
@Sumi History pls leave Polen and Philippin alone, we have suffered enough
In the year 2099 a.d., the new global power called the "P&P (Philippine & Polish) federation" now controls ⅔ of the earth's economy, resources, cultural media, and now has bases on the moon and Mars.
Lol, philippines have been conquered many times way ahead of poland. It should be the opposite
@@jandv9376 The Philippines as a single country has only been invaded twice. By Americans and the Japanese Thas about it. Poland has been invaded

Thanks to this video, we were able to learn a lot of things that are not usually taught in school. Through this, I was able to learn not only the history of the Philippines, but also what Filipinos experienced and what they witnessed. It helps me understand the essence of the Philippines culture and faith.
👋
I like this country... Are you Philippines ?
THANK YOU SO MUCH that you share to us ABOUT the history of the Philippines.
