A very informative episode on one of many lines of investigation of the blood line relationship between mother Filipinas and mother Mexico. Maraming Salamat Filipino Embassy in Mexico Team and Muchas gracias to Doctor Krystil Obispado. I ask to let me contact Maestro Ian Christopher Alonso. Un abrazo !
I enjoy how Maestro Alonso kept on bringing up questions that arise in every step of a research journey. I traveled to Manila last February 2022 and my second goal was to visit Pampanga to investigate the Mexican legacy developed there according to the local area tradition. This presentation was golden for my broad research on the blood Mexicans and Filipinos share. My take to enrich this discussion is that, despite Maestro Alonso coming to a conclusion regarding the outstanding 4 men in the photographs, I disagree and believe this is just a beginning on a very interesting SECOND PHASE of this Journey. I am natural trained in phenotype and in my humble opinion those 4 men do not belong to the southern tribe who also wear their hair long. Let's all share ideas. Maraming Salamat Po.
You know that asking questions is a great way to learn and to move on a research. It is evident that those 4 men with their long hair are kind of self outlined from the rest of the group. I argue that they do look very much alike the men of the Seri, Yaqui and Tarahumara people way up north from the Mexico City of the Aztecs. They could even be Pauite or Navajo. I do not believe they are fourth generation Mexican-Macabebe men ( I very much wish they were). They seem to be first generation native to Pampanga during the US war. If so....why would the US army took them there? Did they learn Tagalog? Did they married and had kids? Where there others? The photographs are golden for many reasons but in this case, being able to see these four men is a great reason to keep digging a little more. What were their names?
There is an elephant in the room. How unfortunate it is that English is being used in relating the colonial history of the Philippines and how the generation before us decided to downgrade the Spanish Language from an official language to an auxillary language. Just so short sighted that was.
This is so interesting> Im glad I found this channel
