Maraming ganyan na mga Fil-Am, tapos uuwi sa Pinas nag-aastang hari at kung makalait sa Pinas akala mo naman kung anong ganda ng pinanggalingan nilang pamilya. Mabuti naman nagigising na mga puso at isipan nyo. Bangon na Filipino.
You’re a good storyteller. God touched your heart and changed your perspective for good works. And you listened to your heart. May God bless your works. I’d like to know more about The Filipino Story. How do I message you privately? Thanks
i am pure chinese but born and grew old here in the Philippines.. my husband wanting "greener pasture" and i migrated to Canada in our early 40's, and became Canadian Citizens. He stayed there, i came back to Philippines after 2 months, i just visit him once a year.. i cannot leave the Philippines, it's my home, it's where i am comfortable, with the flood, the traffic, with money or no money, i am happier here.. home is where your heart is.. happily retired in my modest home somewhere in Antipolo City :)
I never really new how important national identity was until i moved and worked in Japan. Over there being Japanese comes above everything else. Things happened in my life which eventually led me back to the Philippines. Only then I realized, that we have so many things to be grateful about being Filipino apart from all the negativity the media wants instill in us. I also realized that not knowing our real national roots make it difficult for us to be original in many things. We are so quick in accusing our fellow Pinoys of being copycats but the truth is we are lost because we have no interest in knowing who we are. Coming home after some years i discovered that Pinoys do tend to smile a lot, are very respectful, and very communal and family oriented. I started rediscovering the food, the music, and the history. Unlike before, I have this burning love and pride in being Filipino. The many things we despise add color to who we are as a society and as a people. To my fellow Filipinos, in your bloodline lies greatness. Get to know yourself and be great.
Wow. Reading this, it's heartwarming. This is wonderful. Kay ganda ng ating bansa. Dakila ang ating mga kababayan. Maipagmamalaki ang ating Kultura. Be grateful, be proud. Ang sarap maging Pinoy.
@@vincedgarvlogs but many people wanted to be included in the label "Filipino"/"Philippines". In 1974, Igorot people got angry at Carlos Romulo (a politician) when he said that "The Igorot is not Filipino". Romulo said that on the basis that Filipinos are the people who were the natives who were colonized by the Spanish and adopted Spanish customs and religion.
We are opposite, Like you, after high school I moved to New England states. I left the Philippines during the Marcos regime. I never lost my identity as a Filipino ever. I still love my country in spite of the killings, insurrection, political corruption as well as poverty. I always think of the poor that I left who has no opportunities but I never turned my back against my people. To give back, I sponsor a few charities in poor places in the Philippines. Every year (without skip) I give without naming myself and asking for a return. I don't have a story like you but I AM A FILIPINO WITHOUT HESITATION. I NEVER LOST MY IDENTITY.
I'm one of those immigrant FOBS.... The Filipino culture is truly beautiful, so much variety so much diversity, so many customs. I'm happy and glad to have been able to experience Filipino heritage, customs, traditions. I believe that Filipinos are truly unique and special. We are very hard working people that thrive and succeed, regardless what part of the world 🌎 we are in.
Same sentiments, growing up you see these other countries and you think they are far more better. Now as an adult, I came to understand the way of life of the Filipinos. Yes, they are far more richer than us but nothing is perfect, no country is perfect. Hey, even Luxembourg the richest country in Europe have homeless people. South Korea who many young Filipinos want to emulate, has it's slum too, just hidden. But when you look at their culture, their demeanor and how they look at life, I can say I am grateful that I am Filipino. We have so much faith, compassion and resilience that other culture tends to lack.
@@Gilvidsagree. Yet you lose that resiliency when you get used to comfort, then you start to complain even just for petty inconveniences. Much like the people living in rich countries, then when your country's economy goes downhill the residents tend to lose hope easily, resorts to drugs, violence and suicide. That's mostly what's happening in the US now and Europe, while South Korea and Japan are among the loneliest countries in the world, leading to many suicides. They lose the knowledge of how it is to live simply. Sometimes reflecting on these scenarios, I tend to ask myself 'Is it really good to be that progressive and to have all the comforts in life?' because in our country I can see the beauty in the struggle. Filipinos tend to be more appreciative of what we have and know how to find joy even in the simplest things. We have that 'Matutong mamaluktot habang maiksi ang kumot' mentality. Progress is good but there is also beauty in knowing how to struggle. Each has its own pros and cons. Well at the end of the day, we're all just passersby here. If you have faith, we all know this world is gonna end. It is up to each individual how to live it.
I just discovered your Channel, thank you for promoting & supporting our Filipino Culture, I grew up in Los Angeles, California and I heard it all; negative connotations about our culture. It was painful but what stuck in my mind was what my parents always told me; our culture is beautiful, we are kind, caring, compassionate & hardworking people & respectful of others. Be proud to be a Filipino & don’t forget where you came from.
Ever wonder why many rich people become philanthropists? Seeing a smile and joy helping people is what gives meaning and purpose to life realizing how blessed they are,for unfortunate people are happy and content with just enough of what they have. Material things doesn’t make a person and surely not the barometer of success but character and compassion does.
You have a good heart But dont be fooled, most of them became a 'philanthropist' to evade paying taxes and worse, for money laundering. I know a lot of people.
I’m working and living here in the USA and one of my coworkers asked me if I am a Filipino and I said “ Yeah, I am a Filipino in thoughts, in words and in deeds”. Proud Pinoy here.💖Pilipino ako! 😍
Tama yan kabayan be proud as a filipino dhl kaht saang bansa my mga criminals kya wag nla ssbhin n s pinas lng my masama d yan 22o nsa abroad din aq but im proud to say that i'm a filipino ..now filipino is more famous than the other country for being intelligent friendly & smart for everything goodness as an individual🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭👑
Me too. Im Fil -Am and i never forgot where i came from. Kahit kailan hindi mawWala sa akin bilang Pinoy. Mayroong Pinoy kakarating lang ng US hindi na marunong mag tagalog. Tapos ipinagyayabang asawa niya ay Police. Police lang eh ang sobrang yabang na. 😊 😂
Many Filipinos in the US say they are proud to be PINOYS but most of their children who were born and raised there doesn't even know how to speak the Language. for the past 18 years ko sa NYC, wala pa akong na meet na pamilya na marunong mag salita ng pinoy dialect ang mga anak.. mabuti pa ang mga ibang lahi, ang una nilang tinuturo sa kanilang mga anak ay ang sariling Wika... ... when you look at me, pag kakamalan akong Koreano pero ang salita ko ay tagalog and ilocano pero yung mga pinoy na pinoy ang itsura, may mga slang na kung mag salita.. .... hindi ako nag sasalita ng engish kung alam ko naman na pilipino ang mga kausap ko... " Language is the most important part of Cultural identy"...
Tumpak... Ang pinakanakakainis pag yang mga anak nila eh ssabihing proud to be Pinoy.. Pero sa totoo lang ginagamit lang nila iyan para sumikat dito sa bansa.
Isa sa halimbawa sa sinasabi mo ay yung lalaki na nagsasalita dito. Pilipino na daw sya at pinagmamalaki nyang pilipino na sya pero salita ng kano ginagamit.
Mapapag-usapan natin ang maaari pa nating gawin para sa ikabubuti ng ating bayan. Halimbawa, ano ang magagawa natin kung 93% ng asin na kinakailangan natin sa Pilipinas ay imported? Ano ang magagawa natin kung madalas naaaksaya lang ang mga mineral kagaya ng magnesium chloride mula sa paggawa ng asin natin? Paano natin maiiwasan ang pagkalason ng mga organismo sa mga dalampasigan natin dahil sa high concentration ng magnesium chloride na tinatapon sa tabing dagat mula sa mga asinan? Paano natin maiiwasan ang pagkasira ng mga mangrove natin sa mga lugar na gagamitin sa pagpapalawak ng mga asinan sa pagtulak ng bagong batas para sa pagdami ng paggawa ng sarili nating asin? kaya ba nating itayo ang 20,000 na 500 sqm franchised patented vertical 3D ropesalt farms sa paggawa ng asin at NIGARI (magnesium chloride) mula sa ating mga coastal land sa Luzon, Visayas, at Mindanao?
Imbes na mag-angkat tayo ng 1.3 milyong tonelada ng asin kada taon pagdating ng 2030, kaya nating gumawa ng sariling asin sa higit na mataas na uri at dami mula lamang sa 1,000-2,000 hectares ng coastal land para maiwasan ang malawak na pagkasira ng mga mangrove na nakakabawas ng Green House Gas Emissions.
@@mv6303pagpasensyahan natin siya. Sa Amerika na siya lumaki at Ingles lang ang alam na salita dahil hindi itinuro sa kanya ang sariling wika . Ngunit noong bumisita siya sa atin para makilala ang Filipino sa kanyang pagnanasang lumingon sa dugong kanyang pinanggalingan, napamahal tayo sa kanya at sinisikap niyang ikuwento sa kapwa Filipino sa buong mundo ang tungkol sa kadakilaan at pinagdadaanan nating mga Filipino. Yakapin natin siya bilang Filipino sa puso at sa gawa.
As a Filipino, born and raised in the Philippines, it helps to travel abroad. In the few countries I have visited, most of which are far more industrialized, developed and urbanized nations, I always come home with renewed appreciation, love and gratitude for being Filipino. Yes, we are a poor nation, but I haven't experienced the warmth, energy, sense of community and happy vibes from any other countries. When you experience other cultures, it makes you love your own country more. After all, its not all about the comfort and the conveniences of living. Its the feeling of being surrounded with people filled with positivity, respect and concern for others
Weeeee d nga Mas ok yung private life Oo tutulong sa mga poor pinoys tutulong tayo endlessly Pero maki pag bonding naku mga marites mga bully yang mga pinoys d lahat pero andaming marites naki alam sa buhay ng may buhay Mga bully pa kala mo sila perfect hindi lahat pero andaming bully na pinoys B4 nga na hired kolang sa trabaho sinira an pako sa may ari kasi gus2 ng 3 pinoys nayon ma agaw ang manager position ko then binigay ko nalang sa kanila middle class kona boss Then naka hanap ako rich boss aba gus2 ulit sumama sakin wag na oy mga traydors silang 3 😅😅😅😂😂😂😅😅 Hindi lahat na pinoys traydors pero andami nila mga ing git tero sa mga nag successful kasi gus2 nila sila ang successful kaya hini hila pa baba mga nag successful sa life oo hindi lahat pero andaming pinoys na ing get tero I think 70% ang good pinoys at 30% ang mga marites bully ing getero 😅😅😊😂😂😂😅😅
Philippines is not a poor nation ,it’s just our corrupt leaders made our economy and social status look poor about Filipinos that’s why though we our in the progress of being civilized , high rise building and good economy ….our corrupt leaders made this country being behind
Nice! in my case its different. i already loved being Filipino and the first time I got out of the country, i found deep appreciation for the Philippines from the foreigners I met and its the same everywhere i travelled..and that made me even love being Filipino more.
What an inspiring words about us, Filipinos! When I came to America I become more of a Filipino! I hold Philippines deep in my heart forever! We are the race of humanity!!!
When your away from the Philippines for more Than 30 years ….this is the true feeling of missing our roots ,where you from and thru social media your proud to shout I’m a Filipino ,especially if I read some article that our fellow Asian countries tried To look us down and thyre more superior in some aspect . I believe as Filipino we are great people all over the world
Im born and raised as FILIPINO❤❤❤ It always in my heart and soul, no matter where I go around the globe! I always love my home my motherland my country soil THE PHILIPPINES🇵🇭❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
This teared me up. I think the most main reason why a filipino will go out of his country to explore the unknown is because of the love he has for the family he leaves behind, to seek for greener pastures so he can provide for them. Mostly for economic reasons. And that is why we have the so called “OFW”. They would endure all the challenges they encounter, adapt very well and would even learn to speak the language of the countries they embrace. This adaptability or resilience is very much ingrained in filipino culture. Maybe because of what Philippines had gone through like being conquered by other countries and the countless natural calamities that came and left people to live in poverty. Yet with nothing, they can still put a smile on their faces and hear their laughter in the midst of adversities. And this beautiful pinoy trait is abused by the powers that be. Not that filipinos do not hate corruption but it lingers because filipinos stopped believing in their government and take their destiny into their hands, hence, the flight out into other countries, a circumstantial choice. Empathy or compassion is something a Pinoy can apply easily because they know what hardships and to have nothing mean. Of course there are exceptions but that is what i see in most that’s why I am proud to be a Filipino.. We maybe third world but very advanced in humanity. Bawal kumontra! Hahaha
As a Filipino mom to 2 beautiful (half Pinay/half American) daughters, I am always proud of my culture. My girls are not ashamed to tell teachers or friends that they are Pinoy; which I corrected them all the time to not forget about them being half American as to not erase the cultural identity of their dad.
I am half Chinese & half Filipino but I have lived 52 years of my life here in the Philippines 🇵🇭 . Whenever I am asked if I am a Filipino, my answer is always a big YES! I am proud to be a Filipino & will always be! Mahal ko ang aking Inang Bayan! ❤️🇵🇭💯
It is heart melting to know your story as someone who discovered your heritage, cultures and values and eventually live it so much and appreciate being a Filipino.May this serves as an inspirations to other people with Filipino heritage whom others had already forgotten, cast away, ashamed maybe of having their roots to go back and discover how awesome ourcultures, values and traditions.
Mabuhay! Thank you creating this channel and sharing the heart of the Fiipinos. I was born in Manila and raised in San Diego, CA, it was challenging as a child trying to fit in and belong. However, my parents retained their culture and I love being Filipino. We are multi-talented and very hospitable people. Kapwa is a wonderful foundation which is in the Bible, love your neighbors as you love yourself. Maraming salamat!
We have this song and one of the lines said "Tawanan mo ang iyung problema" meaning Laugh at your problem. Laughter is a medicine, also Filipinos are fond of singing and it's good for health. It's therapeutic. Another factor is its all about our faith in God. He said , contentment is great gain, if you have food , shelter and clothing, be contented, do not worry about tomorrow for you don't know what it brings. You might not even live tomorrow. He also said, rejoice in everything and be grateful. So despite being lacking , we have joy in our hearts because God is in there. These material things in this world won't really satisfy us.
It is good you found your way tô your identity. I am here in Brazil more that 30 years in humanitarian mission. I turned naturalized citizen to teach my Kids the love of the country as loving oneself. I could embrace another nationality as a natural consequence of growth, but be ashamed to be filipino, never.
In terms of being humane, Filipinos are more of this kind. I am now an American citizen. I still don’t call USA my country & will never be. Why? Because my values remain intact. Respectful & more humane. ❤️
the Philippines just like any other country is imperfect...it may not be the best in international standards but it's home and it is where my heart belongs. as an OFW, I wish living conditions would improve and that the time would come that we will no longer need to leave the country for better pastures in other lands. i live and breathe the Filipino spirit...I'm proud to be Pinoy
My first time to see this video, I come to Hawaii 1990 I was 14 yrs old I’m proud who I I’m I never forget my national anthem.i become American but my heart in my soul are Filipino, IM PROUD , IM FILIPINO. SIR THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR THOUGHTS, IM SO GLAD YOUR EMBRACE FOR WHO YOU ARE…….
Thank you for sharing this journey of discovery. You are blessed. We as parents of bi- racial children, must do our best to let our kids get to know and appreciate the Pinoy side of them❤❤❤
I’m naturalized American for 34.5 years, I’m always proud to say I’m from Philippines. My 2 half American kids, growing up they’re proud and saying they’re from Philippines even both were born and raised here in the US.
0MG, I've got a new favourite channel! At 63 I'm gonna share this to my grandchildren, so they'll learn why we the elders are so proud to be FILIPINO despite just living a simple life. ❤❤❤
Thank you for watching! Please check out The Filipino Story episodes: Episode 1 th-cam.com/video/RdClMXrQlTM/w-d-xo.html Episode 2: th-cam.com/video/5xccTNzYWt0/w-d-xo.html Episode 3 Trailer: th-cam.com/video/-iPVfmwSupQ/w-d-xo.html
Watching your story and feelings about Pilipino, make me CRY at the end you realized that you have a Pilipino blood running in your veins and became PROUD OF IT.❤
My eyes felt it when he said "There's this, like, thing that I was feeling about them and could NEVER EXPLAIN what it was, but it made me HAPPY and it made me feel GOOD.." "It was the day I became FILIPINO" - It felt so warm ♥ #justsharing
Growing up influenced by what I saw in movies, tv series, the books I've read, I wanted to be an American. I felt like I was dealt the short end of the stick. As I became an adult, I realized how much we women were treated equally and fairly in the Philippines. I've seen women being beaten in the streets in Japan and forced to stop working once they've married. I've read and watched about women in China, India and other countries treated as second class citizens, males preferred over females, sons favored over daughters. Though still in a culture that is Macho, women are still more respected here. And that is why I've stayed put in my own country. Ang sarap maging Pinoy!
True. Not being feminist or woke, cause I really don't like that mentality, women here in our country are quite lucky, not all but mostly. I love how respect is being taught here, and I still love how men treat women here. That's why I always give respect to the man I am with. It's not perfect because there is no such thing, but it's okay, enough to feel that you are loved and respected in return. If you look at Korea and how women are treated there, you'd be grateful you live in the Philippines. I also don't like how the women in the west behave themselves, and sadly that kind of mentality is slowly creeping towards our part of the world. Again, not saying all, but mostly.
@@alphsno472Yes! I feel exactly the same way. Pinays are strong women but have kept the femininity. We want to be taken care of, to feel secure and safe, but are not damsels in distress that need saving. In turn, we know how to take care of our men. We value and respect them. Just like our mothers taught us. 😉
I didn't finish the video and I was very emotional. Being Filipino is rooted in the Blood, it is rooted in the Heart. that's why many Filipinos are patriotic and there are also many who don't understand especially other Filipinos who are in other countries...They say to stop the word "Proud to be Pinoy" in the comments. Now, you can't blame because even before the generation, the Pride of being Pinoy has been in the Blood. Pinoys are different from other Races, not because I'm Filipino because it's in the Heart and something different is stamped in our Blood.
Im glad to hear you value your heritage now. Im American and enjoy being with the common people 4:45 and visiting the Philippines. Going back next month! To spend time with my fiancées family!!
WORLD KNOW the TRUE SOUL & SIPIRT OF THE FILIPINOS, thanks to bloggers like you. . .WITH ALL THE HARDSHIPS PINOYS REMAIN PROUD. . . .you can take that to the bank!!!
Finally! A material that I can share not only to my students & fellow teachers but also to my friends all around the world! Thank you for this project!
Thank you for the testimony. I also felt embarrassed growing up as a Filipino American in San Diego (born in 1977) as an immigrant from the Philippines. I went to elementary school somewhere in National City becasue my sted dad worked at the US Navy base on 32nd street.
You just discovered the real pure gold, the Heart of the people. You will almost know why we are unique and special. The Land of the Rising Sun, The Pearl of the Orient, The Islands in the East, My other Flock in this Islands in the East, The finest Smile, The blessed country with exponential next to Israel and it's coming, finally! "The Philippines"!
I can totally relate to you....born and raised in Canada it was only when i moved to live in Phillipines that i realized how precious our culture and people are...i will forever live and love the way of a pinoy
very moving ... your conversion story is where God calls you for a mission ... You are doing a great job in sharing the mission of God - sharing love ...God bless you .
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings, Tony. Such a heartwarming message for amm Filipinos. Your words gave me more inspiration of being a Filipino and to keep reaching out to people. Gos bless 🇵🇭❤🔥🎉
The problem is, Filipinos don't want to look back and learn lessons from the past. If we dont acknowlege the wrongs from the past, there is no way, it will always be repeated like what is happening now.
Yes. Sometimes it takes a foreigner preferring to live here than in the US to make us realize what great countey and people we have. I am glad that you discovered it earlier and now so passionate in spreading the word about how we truly are a great people and country. Thank you.
You cannot get away from your own skin. Even if you say you were born in the US and say you're American. Someone is going to correct you and you are something else, you are Filipino. Some people find it hard to be proud if all you hear is negativity. How would you like to be a Filipina, Female, an entrepreneur in the South? I feel I am a lonesome dove trying to introduce being Filipino and trying to elevate and change its negative reputation. I'm glad you found your voice and your culture. We are still the most loved Immigrants and the hardest-working group. It tickles me when non-Filipino friends tell me uplifting stories about the Philippines and its people. The Olympics for example is a testament to that. If you love yourself and who you are, they will love you even more. When people finally get to know you, it tickles me when they say "You're more American than most Americans. That is when you become colorless.
Thank you kapatid. I struggled with telling my story for the longest time. My love for my people and my love for God drove me to do it. Hope you enjoy the series.🙏🏽❤️🇵🇭
We as Filipino comes in so many backgrounds and ethnicity, mixed with so many foreign intermarriages but in the end we are one , we should be proud of our culture and traditions, be nationalistic and show our best globally
It's good our God changed your heart. Filipinos are the most hospitable, helpful and resilient. We should not do what we do in order to be trapped in our performance. Always go back to your roots. It's good you have a good life when other Filipinos don't have. It hurts me when I hear that Filipino hated to be a Filipino.
Ever since I left the Philippines I was only 9 years old since then I’m very proud as Pilipino Portuguese, I taught some of my co,workers at work about the Philippines historically I always put the negative things it’s time for every race to understand each others
Well, I’m glad you got over yourself because when you listen to yourself speak you sound like you have a Filipino accent. I am an American Hawaiian and I speak Hawaiian, Tagalog in English and I don’t even have an accent when I speak English.

Filipinos are perhaps the nicest people I have met...
Be very proud.
It's Pinoy Pride, but Crab Mentality goes along with it. Yuk.
Filipinos are the happiest people , kind , family orientated and proud of who they are.
Filipinos are beautiful people like white, black, yellow but there's something wrong with their cultures
We are opposite, Like you, after high school I moved to New England states. I left the Philippines during the Marcos regime.

Amen to this!
You lose that as you prosper tho. So its a double edge sword. Dont settle for poverty cause it builds resiliency, but use that resiliency to prosper

I just discovered your Channel, thank you for promoting & supporting our Filipino Culture, I grew up in Los Angeles, California and I heard it all; negative connotations about our culture. It was painful but what stuck in my mind was what my parents always told me; our culture is beautiful, we are kind, caring, compassionate & hardworking people & respectful of others. Be proud to be a Filipino & don’t forget where you came from.
I wholeheartedly agree❤️🇵🇭 Thanks for your support kapatid. Let’s show the world who we really are.
Ever wonder why many rich people become philanthropists? Seeing a smile and joy helping people is what gives meaning and purpose to life realizing how blessed they are,for unfortunate people are happy and content with just enough of what they have. Material things doesn’t make a person and surely not the barometer of success but character and compassion does.
You have a good heart But dont be fooled, most of them became a 'philanthropist' to evade paying taxes and worse, for money laundering. I know a lot of people.
Agreed kapatid. 🇵🇭❤️
I’m working and living here in the USA and one of my coworkers asked me if I am a Filipino and I said “ Yeah, I am a Filipino in thoughts, in words and in deeds”. Proud Pinoy here.💖Pilipino ako! 😍
Tama yan kabayan be proud as a filipino dhl kaht saang bansa my mga criminals kya wag nla ssbhin n s pinas lng my masama d yan 22o nsa abroad din aq but im proud to say that i'm a filipino ..now filipino is more famous than the other country for being intelligent friendly & smart for everything goodness as an individual🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭👑
Me too. Im Fil -Am and i never forgot where i came from. Kahit kailan hindi mawWala sa akin bilang Pinoy. Mayroong Pinoy kakarating lang ng US hindi na marunong mag tagalog. Tapos ipinagyayabang asawa niya ay Police. Police lang eh ang sobrang yabang na. 😊 😂
I live in London and become British but in my heart I am always a Filipino .
Many Filipinos in the US say they are proud to be PINOYS but most of their children who were born and raised there doesn't even know how to speak the Language. for the past 18 years ko sa NYC, wala pa akong na meet na pamilya na marunong mag salita ng pinoy dialect ang mga anak.. mabuti pa ang mga ibang lahi, ang una nilang tinuturo sa kanilang mga anak ay ang sariling Wika... ... when you look at me, pag kakamalan akong Koreano pero ang salita ko ay tagalog and ilocano pero yung mga pinoy na pinoy ang itsura, may mga slang na kung mag salita.. .... hindi ako nag sasalita ng engish kung alam ko naman na pilipino ang mga kausap ko... " Language is the most important part of Cultural identy"...
Tumpak...
Ang pinakanakakainis pag yang mga anak nila eh ssabihing proud to be Pinoy.. Pero sa totoo lang ginagamit lang nila iyan para sumikat dito sa bansa.
Isa sa halimbawa sa sinasabi mo ay yung lalaki na nagsasalita dito. Pilipino na daw sya at pinagmamalaki nyang pilipino na sya pero salita ng kano ginagamit.
Mapapag-usapan natin ang maaari pa nating gawin para sa ikabubuti ng ating bayan. Halimbawa, ano ang magagawa natin kung 93% ng asin na kinakailangan natin sa Pilipinas ay imported? Ano ang magagawa natin kung madalas naaaksaya lang ang mga mineral kagaya ng magnesium chloride mula sa paggawa ng asin natin? Paano natin maiiwasan ang pagkalason ng mga organismo sa mga dalampasigan natin
dahil sa high concentration ng magnesium chloride na tinatapon sa tabing dagat mula sa mga asinan?
Paano natin maiiwasan ang pagkasira ng mga mangrove natin sa mga lugar na gagamitin sa pagpapalawak ng mga asinan sa pagtulak ng bagong batas para sa pagdami ng paggawa ng sarili nating asin?
kaya ba nating itayo ang 20,000 na 500 sqm franchised patented vertical 3D ropesalt farms sa paggawa ng asin at NIGARI (magnesium chloride) mula sa ating mga coastal land sa Luzon, Visayas, at Mindanao?
Imbes na mag-angkat tayo ng 1.3 milyong tonelada ng asin kada taon pagdating ng 2030, kaya nating gumawa ng sariling asin sa higit na mataas na uri at dami mula lamang sa 1,000-2,000 hectares ng coastal land
para maiwasan ang malawak na pagkasira ng mga mangrove na nakakabawas ng Green House Gas Emissions.
@@mv6303pagpasensyahan natin siya. Sa Amerika na siya lumaki at Ingles lang ang alam na salita dahil hindi itinuro sa kanya ang sariling wika . Ngunit noong bumisita siya sa atin para makilala ang Filipino sa kanyang pagnanasang lumingon sa dugong kanyang pinanggalingan, napamahal tayo sa kanya at sinisikap niyang ikuwento sa kapwa Filipino sa buong mundo ang tungkol sa kadakilaan at pinagdadaanan nating mga Filipino. Yakapin natin siya bilang Filipino sa puso at sa gawa.
Mabuhay ang mga Filipinos! We are a gift to the world by the grace of God.
As a Filipino, born and raised in the Philippines, it helps to travel abroad. In the few countries I have visited, most of which are far more industrialized, developed and urbanized nations, I always come home with renewed appreciation, love and gratitude for being Filipino.
Yes, we are a poor nation, but I haven't experienced the warmth, energy, sense of community and happy vibes from any other countries. When you experience other cultures, it makes you love your own country more. After all, its not all about the comfort and the conveniences of living. Its the feeling of being surrounded with people filled with positivity, respect and concern for others
Poor from the western standard of money, but rich in humanity. ❤️🇵🇭🙏🏽
so true! so true!
Weeeee d nga
Mas ok yung private life
Oo tutulong sa mga poor pinoys tutulong tayo endlessly
Pero maki pag bonding naku mga marites mga bully yang mga pinoys d lahat pero andaming marites naki alam sa buhay ng may buhay
Mga bully pa kala mo sila perfect hindi lahat pero andaming bully na pinoys
B4 nga na hired kolang sa trabaho sinira an pako sa may ari kasi gus2 ng 3 pinoys nayon ma agaw ang manager position ko then binigay ko nalang sa kanila middle class kona boss
Then naka hanap ako rich boss aba gus2 ulit sumama sakin wag na oy mga traydors silang 3

Hindi lahat na pinoys traydors pero andami nila mga ing git tero sa mga nag successful kasi gus2 nila sila ang successful kaya hini hila pa baba mga nag successful sa life oo hindi lahat pero andaming pinoys na ing get tero
I think 70% ang good pinoys at 30% ang mga marites bully ing getero
😅😅😊😂😂😂😅😅
Philippines is not a poor nation ,it’s just our corrupt leaders made our economy and social status look poor about Filipinos that’s why though we our in the progress of being civilized , high rise building and good economy ….our corrupt leaders made this country being behind
Agree I’ve never been more proud to be a Filipino after a decade of living and working abroad
To be a Filipino is really a treasure. There's nothing better than home. We will always end up going back and going back to the family. 🇵🇭
Treasure your Pinoy Pride and Crab Mentality.
Nice! in my case its different. i already loved being Filipino and the first time I got out of the country, i found deep appreciation for the Philippines from the foreigners I met and its the same everywhere i travelled..and that made me even love being Filipino more.
Being born in a country is a blessing specially with the kindness and hospitality of the Filipinos in spite of their struggles.
❤
Dang, Imma cry baby now. Bro I felt every emotions while you share your awakening, that Filipino fiber within you..
Thank you kapatid. I call myself sometimes a “Born Again Filipino”😂
What an inspiring words about us, Filipinos! When I came to America I become more of a Filipino! I hold Philippines deep in my heart forever! We are the race of humanity!!!
When your away from the Philippines for more
Than 30 years ….this is the true feeling of missing our roots ,where you from and thru social media your proud to shout I’m a Filipino ,especially if I read some article that our fellow Asian countries tried
To look us down and thyre more superior in some aspect . I believe as Filipino we are great people all over the world
Yeah. Been there done that
First visit ever in 2024. It changed my life forever. I am truly Filipino!
Im born and raised as FILIPINO❤❤❤
It always in my heart and soul, no matter where I go around the globe!
I always love my home my motherland my country soil THE PHILIPPINES🇵🇭❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Super agree as I do too!!!!!
as a filipino, i am guilty of taking my beautiful country for granted. this makes me appreciate philippines more.
Finally an honest Filipino. Most of you are not, full of pride and Crab Mentality.
This teared me up. I think the most main reason why a filipino will go out of his country to explore the unknown is because of the love he has for the family he leaves behind, to seek for greener pastures so he can provide for them. Mostly for economic reasons. And that is why we have the so called “OFW”. They would endure all the challenges they encounter, adapt very well and would even learn to speak the language of the countries they embrace. This adaptability or resilience is very much ingrained in filipino culture. Maybe because of what Philippines had gone through like being conquered by other countries and the countless natural calamities that came and left people to live in poverty. Yet with nothing, they can still put a smile on their faces and hear their laughter in the midst of adversities. And this beautiful pinoy trait is abused by the powers that be. Not that filipinos do not hate corruption but it lingers because filipinos stopped believing in their government and take their destiny into their hands, hence, the flight out into other countries, a circumstantial choice. Empathy or compassion is something a Pinoy can apply easily because they know what hardships and to have nothing mean. Of course there are exceptions but that is what i see in most that’s why I am proud to be a Filipino.. We maybe third world but very advanced in humanity. Bawal kumontra! Hahaha
Well said kapatid.🙏🏽🇵🇭
Last few statements 💯
As a Filipino mom to 2 beautiful (half Pinay/half American) daughters, I am always proud of my culture. My girls are not ashamed to tell teachers or friends that they are Pinoy; which I corrected them all the time to not forget about them being half American as to not erase the cultural identity of their dad.
You’re a great and wise parent. Thank you for your support. I hope you enjoy the series.
Did you teach your kids to speak Filipino though?
I am half Chinese & half Filipino but I have lived 52 years of my life here in the Philippines 🇵🇭 . Whenever I am asked if I am a Filipino, my answer is always a big YES! I am proud to be a Filipino & will always be! Mahal ko ang aking Inang Bayan! ❤️🇵🇭💯
It is heart melting to know your story as someone who discovered your heritage, cultures and values and eventually live it so much and appreciate being a Filipino.May this serves as an inspirations to other people with Filipino heritage whom others had already forgotten, cast away, ashamed maybe of having their roots to go back and discover how awesome ourcultures, values and traditions.
Thanks to TH-cam everybody proud to be Pilipino!
Mabuhay! Thank you creating this channel and sharing the heart of the Fiipinos. I was born in Manila and raised in San Diego, CA, it was challenging as a child trying to fit in and belong. However, my parents retained their culture and I love being Filipino. We are multi-talented and very hospitable people. Kapwa is a wonderful foundation which is in the Bible, love your neighbors as you love yourself. Maraming salamat!
I cannot comprehend why THEY ARE HAPPY AND JOYFUL ALL THE TIME - RAIN OR SHINE!!
Simply because they just enjoying of what only they have on that moment but have a huge dream in thier hearts....☺️
We live in the moment, and we choose to be happy and find happiness in every situation, regardless of how difficult it is.
We have this song and one of the lines said "Tawanan mo ang iyung problema" meaning Laugh at your problem. Laughter is a medicine, also Filipinos are fond of singing and it's good for health. It's therapeutic. Another factor is its all about our faith in God. He said , contentment is great gain, if you have food , shelter and clothing, be contented, do not worry about tomorrow for you don't know what it brings. You might not even live tomorrow. He also said, rejoice in everything and be grateful. So despite being lacking , we have joy in our hearts because God is in there. These material things in this world won't really satisfy us.
It is good you found your way tô your identity. I am here in Brazil more that 30 years in humanitarian mission. I turned naturalized citizen to teach my Kids the love of the country as loving oneself. I could embrace another nationality as a natural consequence of growth, but be ashamed to be filipino, never.
Proud to be Pinoy reputation wise , Pinoy stands out to other countries, we Pinoy very dedicated very caring dependable, Philippines forever 🇵🇭
Really? Pls dont lie😂
To All- Pilipino, is " ONLY ONE OF A KIND " . Very Unique on this World.I Was Born Pilipino,then I DIE as Pilipino 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
@@lancemily08 yes really and absolutely, I don’t know about you
@@monicab5347 no 😂😂
Peenoise 😂
I’m a naturalized American who has been here in the USA for more than 20 years. I still identify as 100% Filipino.
In terms of being humane, Filipinos are more of this kind. I am now an
American citizen. I still don’t call USA my country & will never be. Why? Because my values remain intact. Respectful & more humane. ❤️
Hope I never meet you. You are a problem.
the Philippines just like any other country is imperfect...it may not be the best in international standards but it's home and it is where my heart belongs. as an OFW, I wish living conditions would improve and that the time would come that we will no longer need to leave the country for better pastures in other lands. i live and breathe the Filipino spirit...I'm proud to be Pinoy
My first time to see this video,
I come to Hawaii 1990 I was 14 yrs old I’m proud who I I’m I never forget my national anthem.i become American but my heart in my soul are Filipino, IM PROUD , IM FILIPINO.

Thank you for sharing this journey of discovery. You are blessed. We as parents of bi- racial children, must do our best to let our kids get to know and appreciate the Pinoy side of them❤❤❤
I'm proud to be a Pilipino .I love my own native Land❤ Phillipines🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Pinoy Pride and Crab Mentality. Have fun with it.
I’m naturalized American for 34.5 years, I’m always proud to say I’m from Philippines. My 2 half American kids, growing up they’re proud and saying they’re from Philippines even both were born and raised here in the US.
0MG, I've got a new favourite channel! At 63 I'm gonna share this to my grandchildren, so they'll learn why we the elders are so proud to be FILIPINO despite just living a simple life. ❤❤❤
I have always been proud of who I am and where I'm from - the Philippines. Embracing your roots is something tremendously beautiful.
Thank you brother/kuya Tony. Proud to be your brother, a Filipino too. Salamat kuya!

Very touching story. Dugong Pinoy tayo! Mabuhay ka kabayan.
Thank you kapatid. Bleed Pinoy!❤️🇵🇭🙏🏽
Watching your story and feelings about Pilipino, make me CRY at the end you realized that you have a Pilipino blood running in your veins and became PROUD OF IT.❤
My eyes felt it when he said "There's this, like, thing that I was feeling about them and could NEVER EXPLAIN what it was, but it made me HAPPY and it made me feel GOOD.." "It was the day I became FILIPINO" - It felt so warm ♥ #justsharing
Second time watching this. Still gives me goosebumps and teary-eyed. With all the imperfections, I am proud to be a Filipino!!!
Thank you for being here!
Nakakaproud talaga maging Filipino. I am always proud to be a Filipino. 💖
I am proud being FILIPINO 🇵🇭 kahit saang sulok ng mundo, taas noo kahit kanimo, Ako ay FILIPINO 💗🇵🇭
Growing up influenced by what I saw in movies, tv series, the books I've read, I wanted to be an American. I felt like I was dealt the short end of the stick. As I became an adult, I realized how much we women were treated equally and fairly in the Philippines. I've seen women being beaten in the streets in Japan and forced to stop working once they've married. I've read and watched about women in China, India and other countries treated as second class citizens, males preferred over females, sons favored over daughters. Though still in a culture that is Macho, women are still more respected here. And that is why I've stayed put in my own country. Ang sarap maging Pinoy!
Exactly! I am grateful to God I was born a filipino. Proud Pinay here!
True. Not being feminist or woke, cause I really don't like that mentality, women here in our country are quite lucky, not all but mostly. I love how respect is being taught here, and I still love how men treat women here. That's why I always give respect to the man I am with. It's not perfect because there is no such thing, but it's okay, enough to feel that you are loved and respected in return.
If you look at Korea and how women are treated there, you'd be grateful you live in the Philippines. I also don't like how the women in the west behave themselves, and sadly that kind of mentality is slowly creeping towards our part of the world.
Again, not saying all, but mostly.
Thank you for sharing kapatid. I get u.👍🏽🇵🇭
@@alphsno472Yes! I feel exactly the same way. Pinays are strong women but have kept the femininity. We want to be taken care of, to feel secure and safe, but are not damsels in distress that need saving. In turn, we know how to take care of our men. We value and respect them. Just like our mothers taught us. 😉
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for making these videos. I feel this. Please create more videos.
I love being a Filipino - the love, care, culture, hospitality, family bond and faith. As I grow matured, I realized that Filipinos are great...
I didn't finish the video and I was very emotional. Being Filipino is rooted in the Blood, it is rooted in the Heart. that's why many Filipinos are patriotic and there are also many who don't understand especially other Filipinos who are in other countries...They say to stop the word "Proud to be Pinoy" in the comments. Now, you can't blame because even before the generation, the Pride of being Pinoy has been in the Blood. Pinoys are different from other Races, not because I'm Filipino because it's in the Heart and something different is stamped in our Blood.
Proud Cordilleran, proud Filipino apo!! 💯👌🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭❣️
Im glad to hear you value your heritage now. Im American and enjoy being with the common people 4:45 and visiting the Philippines. Going back next month! To spend time with my fiancées family!!

I HAVE THANKED GOD SO MANY TIMES FOR CREATING ME TO BE A FILIPINA!!!♥️🇵🇭♥️♥️
This is so powerful!
That was moving. Thanks for reminding me it's a great country. It's easy to forget living here.
When I listen to your story I was teary eyed amazing. Story about my country. Thank you for feeling that way😊
Kudos to you. I Love this because I live here in the Philippines. Simply Awesome.
Finally! A material that I can share not only to my students & fellow teachers but also to my friends all around the world!
Thank you for this project!
Thank you for the testimony. I also felt embarrassed growing up as a Filipino American in San Diego (born in 1977) as an immigrant from the Philippines. I went to elementary school somewhere in National City becasue my sted dad worked at the US Navy base on 32nd street.
Filipinos are among the most nicest and hospital people I’ve come across
You just discovered the real pure gold, the Heart of the people. You will almost know why we are unique and special. The Land of the Rising Sun, The Pearl of the Orient, The Islands in the East, My other Flock in this Islands in the East, The finest Smile, The blessed country with exponential next to Israel and it's coming, finally! "The Philippines"!
I can totally relate to you....born and raised in Canada it was only when i moved to live in Phillipines that i realized how precious our culture and people are...i will forever live and love the way of a pinoy
brought tears to my eyes. we need leaders like this. the ones who saw what right governing would do to our people.
there's this innate feeling we all have no matter where we are on this planet...thanks for making us remember
I’m so happy for you cause I’m one of those proud to be pinoy
very moving ... your conversion story is where God calls you for a mission ... You are doing a great job in sharing the mission of God - sharing love ...God bless you .
Whatever happens, I love my country and proud to be a Pilipino.🇵🇭♥️🇵🇭
Thank you sir for opening everyone's eyes through yours.
Wow, so touching. I'm glad to hear that there are still Fil-am like you.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings, Tony. Such a heartwarming message for amm Filipinos.
Your words gave me more inspiration of being a Filipino and to keep reaching out to people. Gos bless
🇵🇭❤🔥🎉
The problem is, Filipinos don't want to look back and learn lessons from the past. If we dont acknowlege the wrongs from the past, there is no way, it will always be repeated like what is happening now.
Yes. Sometimes it takes a foreigner preferring to live here than in the US to make us realize what great countey and people we have. I am glad that you discovered it earlier and now so passionate in spreading the word about how we truly are a great people and country. Thank you.
SALAMAT KAPATID!
Never judge a book by its cover. But I'm glad you're able to get the knowledge from the book. Good for you.
Always a proud Filipino wherever I go❤🇵🇭✌️
Thank You Sir. I am proud to be a Filipino. I was born as a Filipino and I will die as a Filipino.
Walang anuman kapatid🇵🇭🙏🏽
You cannot get away from your own skin. Even if you say you were born in the US and say you're American. Someone is going to correct you and you are something else, you are Filipino. Some people find it hard to be proud if all you hear is negativity. How would you like to be a Filipina, Female, an entrepreneur in the South? I feel I am a lonesome dove trying to introduce being Filipino and trying to elevate and change its negative reputation. I'm glad you found your voice and your culture. We are still the most loved Immigrants and the hardest-working group. It tickles me when non-Filipino friends tell me uplifting stories about the Philippines and its people. The Olympics for example is a testament to that. If you love yourself and who you are, they will love you even more. When people finally get to know you, it tickles me when they say "You're more American than most Americans. That is when you become colorless.
Filam here living in seattle.
Thank u Kuya! I love this channel! Keep it up literally tearing up
Mabuhay ka Ton! Be a light for every Filipino
Thank you kapatid. I struggled with telling my story for the longest time. My love for my people and my love for God drove me to do it. Hope you enjoy the series.🙏🏽❤️🇵🇭
I love this! Thanks for pouring your heart. I’m glad you found your way back to your roots. ❤
Thank u🙏🏽❤️🇵🇭
We as Filipino comes in so many backgrounds and ethnicity, mixed with so many foreign intermarriages but in the end we are one , we should be proud of our culture and traditions, be nationalistic and show our best globally
We’ve felt every word Tony said here, it’s very touching speaking about your own experience. It’s very inspiring 👏
Thank you for the kind words. It took me years to finally tell it because there are millions of Tony’s all over the world.
I was so moved with this story. Wasn't half way yet but already started crying.
Thank, GOD you finally accepted you are FILIPINO. You can't' deny that, by Blood and BONES you are a FILIPINO.
Nice to hear that you know it very well now,😍how to be a Filipino by heart 🙌☺️👍❤️❤️❤️
It's good our God changed your heart. Filipinos are the most hospitable, helpful and resilient. We should not do what we do in order to be trapped in our performance. Always go back to your roots. It's good you have a good life when other Filipinos don't have. It hurts me when I hear that Filipino hated to be a Filipino.
Ever since I left the Philippines I was only 9 years old since then I’m very proud as Pilipino Portuguese, I taught some of my co,workers at work about the Philippines historically I always put the negative things it’s time for every race to understand each others
I'm happy hearing your story.
god bless you…salamat for searching and finding your roots and most of all for embracing it.
Well, I’m glad you got over yourself because when you listen to yourself speak you sound like you have a Filipino accent. I am an American Hawaiian and I speak Hawaiian, Tagalog in English and I don’t even have an accent when I speak English.
Nice one Tony good to know you also in our GK mission work. Keep it up. God bless you more.
