I think most filipinos won't care if they only attack Bella Poarch. This "cancel" thing started when "SEVERAL KOREAN VLOGGERS" Literally several, insulted the Philippine flag. They tear, spit and step on it.. The audacity to post it online was insane! This issue took a very big hit to our heart. Especially with all the pandemic happening at that time. We're not a rich country but we Filipino's highly respect and take pride on our national flag. That's how we were taught. We bring this pride and respect wherever we go. Filipinos forgive easily but we never forget.
In my personal opinion, she shouldn't have been criticized about it. Your body, your rules! That imperial flag had been used by the Japanese too when they invaded the Philippines but that was not taken as an issue by the Filipinos. Besides, we consider that as a thing of the past and we're now friends with Japanese and everyone regardless of which country you are from. So regardless of your beliefs, you must respect someone's understanding! You are free to discuss your idea but it must be done professionally and not belittle someone most importantly an entire ethnicity just because of a single person who may have made a mistake according to your interpretation of the case or scenario.
True.. they hold grudges and they doesn't know the word gratitude.. they don't apply it to themselves.. Filipinos helping them during their difficult times. But what they give in return to Filipinos? That's why I don't watch them. They are plastic like what they do to their body.. so much plastic surgery. Feeling superior
That was the first time i saw that flag??? And i'm 65 years old. To be honest i don't know the history of that flag i'm sure most Filipinos will agree with me!!!
I'm a Filipino am 43 years old añd its my first time to see that flag too. I'm sorry about what happened but in my opinion I would forget the past that brings so much pain and move forward with a happy life. I I know it's easy being said and done but what can we do?We love all races no matter what happened in the past. We love Koreans and we welcome all of you here in our country no matter where you are from.Love and respect to everyone and God bless us all.
I just hope Filipinos will love their own more. There's a recent Korean survey where they voted the Philippines as the #6 hated country but they come here to study English and their artists comes here all year round for concert and fan meetings. Filipinos need to support their own entertainment industry. Visited S.Korea before but not planning anymore.
which study is that? please back it up. Stop making stories, care to share a link or any source of that study. Just a big mouth talking about nonsense.
@@firespriteearthcrystalsshe said English and it’s true. Not just Koreans but others from different countries as well. Some take courses for college in CIA. It’s located in Cebu province. FYI pls check first before becoming antagonistic. If you’re Korean, then you better know your war history so you’ll be grateful you still have a country, South Korea. You have internet or wifi? Go watch Battle of Yultong. That will surely make you a very proud Korean. 😬😬
@@narrayakal9010 what are you talking about? Your reply does not make any sense. The context of my response to the first person in this thread is in a different context. Why are talking about literal study and koreans studying in the country?. Kulang ka po sa reading comprehension.
@@firespriteearthcrystalsyou asked her which study is that and I’m just replying and expanding my reply plus included my personal take and defense against your sarcasm. You’re just refusing to understand and accept it. 😬✌🏼
The fact, we loved all races. I love the Koreans and Japanese no matter what the we've been through. It's not good to hold grudges but place love and unity instead. Mabuhay Philippines watching from Europe.
Bella is such a sweet and chill person, especially when you see her on social media. she's not the type who involves herself in controversy on purpose nor the type who's going to put something on her body just to spew hate or go viral. i think it's dumb when you do that. Filipinos don't do that
I wonder if she would have been that un aware about the rising sun flag had she been raised in the Philippines. You see in the Philippines, our history with colonizers including Japan is part of the curriculum as early as elementary education.
@@jonnamaerojero6992And they get called out too. Social media is dangerous. Prolly a handful of people saying negative, racist things get amplified and gets generalized and taken as a whole country’s stance then a handful of people made to appear it’s all people trends a hashtag to cancel a whole nation. If it seems like the issue is not dying down in spite of the fact that the lady has apologized and a hashtag sorry to Filipinos trended then something is at play here and that is business groups want to extinguish Hallyu in the Philippines . It’s sad really.
Yes, that is very true. And to think that 333 years is so long. According to my student they are demanding an apology to Japan. They won't forgive them unless they will apologize. They won't forget too. But who will do that? It happened a long time ago. The persons who did injustice to them were already gone.
that #CancelKorea trend started when some Koreans started tearing, disrespecting Philippine flag in videos or live... And even thought Bella Poarch's tattoo had knowledge about that certain tattoo, she did not mean to offend anyone specifically Koreans...
Us Filipinos embrace everyone some of us just retaliate or fight back if its too much. Many of our Filipino workers in korea will attest that many Koreans look down on us and even criticize us of our work as maid or caregivers and on their national tv their celebretie made a joke of how we speak in English but still we are very forgiving people and koreans knows that, we have many koreans here in the Philippines and we do not go to that extreme when there is one mistake of one nationals. We experience more disrespect from koreans but we let it pass. Still we love Koreans. Philippines here in our country are kpop fans and kdrama fans, even Filipinos in many different countries are very much into kpop. The more thàn 1million plus who work in that lowly servanthood industry who do dirty works jobs are very passionate into kdrama because they are far from their families and that is their scape to not be taken over by homesickness. So Koreans please look into this that just like your kdrama please be nice and not look down on us.
Paps, I cant bare it. You talk too deep. Ang lalim chong. 🤯 There is overwhelming Pinoy action in social media and, coupled with a lockdown... 😂 🫵 they text A LOT!!! 🎉
@endtimes7 but the Filipinos working in Korea are professionals. What are you talking about? Have you heard of Koreans having maids? Also, you only get to work in Korea if you have the ability like engineer, teacher, doctor, nurse or in the fields of Technology. Stop talking as if you have experienced Korea. You talk as if you know. I know though that in Arab lands they have caregivers but definitely not Korea. Why would they give you a working Visa if you will become a maid? Think again, this place ain't Arab nation.
I guess the Koreans in the Philippines are right. Kdramas that portray Koreans as sweet, generous kind etc are just drama. They’re not real. They’re just illusions that’s hard to grasp. They’re right that everything’s the opposite of what’s in the drama. Be grateful to that you still have a country, South Korea. Watch your Great War history unfold on TH-cam.😬😬 can’t wait for you to educate yourself. Have Fun and let’s see how proud you’ll be.
It's funny that some Koreans always say that Philippines should be educated about history when they themselves know very little about it. They didnt know that Japanese invaded the Philippines as well and only few of them know that the Philippines fought with them during the Korean war. I like Korea but I don't like it when some of them discriminate not just Filipinos but other Southeast Asian people.
There's also a 2023 Korean survey about the countries that Koreans hate, and Philippines is the #6 on the list..when i discovered that survey I was so disappointed..i mean, what've we done?..for them to hate us?..i can understand that they hate china, north korea and japan because of the invasion to korea..but the Philippines??..all we did all these times was to protect korea..until now, we are still supporting korea in different types of media..i can even say that Filipinos are the number one fans of kpop ang kdramas all over the world..but what they are doing in return is discriminating and belittling us.. This is also the reason why im proud as a Filipino.. because we've suffered a lot during those three periods of colonization from Spain, US, and Japan, but Filipinos never ever hold any grudge or hate to these 3 countries.. Philippines are friends of these countries and Filipinos love their people..we just know how to forgive and to forget.. that's why I love my country..
@@TripTipsPodcast yeah..so disappointing..but what can we do?..some people tend to be ungrateful.. Anyways, please do react to "Battle of Yultong" and "March of the Valiant"..these are the stories told by the Filipino veterans who fought in the Korean War.. thanks and God bless you guys!..
It all started when Bella Poarch's TikTok appeared with a tattoo of Japanese flag Rising Sun, which she didn't know the history behind it to the Koreans, but after learning it, she immediately apologized saying she really didn't know . The problem arises when one Korean tears, spit and stomped a symbol Philippine flag in his video...
Our history could be hurtful as our countrymen suffered from wars but we shouldn't be using it as a reason to harm anyone just because someone didn't know our history. Instead, let's educate everyone that a specific symbol has negative meaning to us but never expect that everyone should have the same feeling about it. Past is a nice place to visit but definitely not a good place to stay. Therefore, let's move forward and treat everyone with respect and kindness.
Guys, I believe Bella is an American Citizen with Filipino heritage and lives in the US. She apologized and vowed to be more educated about it and even said she would take it off or cover it. That should have ended it. Its when some Korean netizens started insulting Filipinos that escalated it, but Koreans and Filipinos have a strong bond so eventually it just blows over.
it's like this, after Bella's tiktok, some Koreans filming that they are tearing our FLAG! little that they know they are FREE now because of our Heroes ... but yeah it is what it is ... those are teenager, we will never fight back to the Korean nor the Japanes, we are in one region .. they are just kids
a lot of koreans look down on filipinos even before this happened. that's a well known fact but we always put it behind us, i mean it isn't something new and there's also lot of good koreans anyways so we'd rather have our focus on those. the thing is it's indeed bella's fault for being insensitive about the topic and not researching about it. her not experiencing the tragedy do not mean she could take the topic lightly. the video was her filming tiktok as usual when one took notice of her tattoo. when it blew up she took responsibility, apologized, reflected and did solutions she can do like removing the tattoo. i mean what else can she do aside from those? what's done is done, best next thing to do is what she already did. the issue should've ended at this point, educate her and move on. we were colonized by japan too as well as spain for hundreds of years. suffering and pain is not foreign to us but we learned not to let those emotions control and shape us. why do you think we still have a good relationship with japan and spain after everything we went through? let's not forget our history but let's also not project hate to those who don't deserve it. this went really big when koreans crossed the line by insulting the whole country even resorting to disrespecting our flag tearing it and stomping it. that's when filos decided to clap back defending ourselves from all the disrespect we've been receiving but no we did not go low as they did. we still respected the country, did not do anything to their flag just to get back and just provided facts that we may be poor but we're not dumb so they better stop making it look like they're a superior race. things got heated and good thing a lot of logical koreans took notice and decided to apologize for the toxic ones after some time all the anger subsided and peace between two countries are back 😅. i mean i already saw that coming, not to be biased but philippines have a huge heart and pretty much a forgiving country which our history already proved to be true plus a single tattoo is not worthy to have both countries in a bad blood when our relationship is supposed to have a strong foundation of friendship during korean war.
I don't think they look down on us. It is your own perception towards Koreans. If they look down on us why do they visit the Philippines and even migrate and live here. In the Philippines especially in Cebu you see plenty of them everywhere and they are people like us who think like us but they just have different culture. Stop acting like you have experienced that first hand.
@@firespriteearthcrystals oh they do lol and i'm not saying every korean did. i said a lot of them, haven't you read my comment? korea's known for being quite racist as a country though it's starting to get better these days numbers are still pretty high, imagine having clubs not allowing foreigners to come just because they're not from there? i have relatives who live there and the amount of racism they along with their filipino friends experienced were a lot. i don't share information just because that's what i think so don't also act like you know me. what i'm saying is known to many and would agree with me. i also have sources that i can trust reason why i'm confident in sharing these. try doing research on how filipinos and other foreigners live there and you'll know 😏
When that issue came out manny young Koreans insulted Pilipinos and our country. That young Koreans did’nt know the history how the Philippines help South Korea during Korea & Japanese war, Please watch the March of the Valiant, and how the Pilipino soldiers sacrificed for there country.

Filipinos are broad minded people, we know that toxic people are in every part of the world but we also know that people with beautiful souls are scattered everywhere. That's the main reason why we don't put things at heart every bad things that occurs... It is more important to be happy and face everyday with a smile. Besides karma is just around...waiting for the right timing to let you learn from your mistakes.
The Philippines is a very friendly country... racial discrimination is not part of our culture... however, we have our bottom lines, rules and patience, too... Filipinos are courageous and brave and are willing to fight head-on with giants when it is necessary for our country and loved ones.
this was before. but i noticed a change when sb19 became popular. a lot of them respect filipino artists now.and because of vloggers educating foreign fans about filipinos' culture. we respect other country's culture. so they should respect ours as well
You guys are Americans. You know what democracy means. Why should a person's tattoo (which only looks like the Japanese imperial flag) matter to another person? It's her skin. It offends other peoples' feelings? Why? Did she verbally attack the Koreans? Or are the South Koreans just narrow minded? The Philippines was also occupied by the Japanese in WW2. Why weren't the Filipinos crucifying her? 'Cause it is just a "simple damn tattoo that 'looks like' the Japanese flag". So South Koreans has a monopoly on art? Why should she apologize? Did she kill any SK? Did she terrorize them? Did she say anything bad about SK? Or would you think SKs doing this... are they just bullies?
I can understand the South Koreans negative feelings toward the Japanese imperial flag since it can be compared to the Nazi flag. The issue is that a small group of Koreans took to social media and attack a whole country rather than taking their issue with Bella Poarch. The important thing is we communicate with each other more, educate ourselves about these matters, and learn to respect one another.
I stopped consuming anything korean made since that issue, also stopped watching any K-Pop or KDrama as well. We Filipinos do Forgive but never Forget.
Very true! We forgive easily but will never forget.. First-handed the mistreatment of Korean's to Filipinos in our own country! At that time kpop or kdrama is not a thing yet.
They don't care if you stop consuming, they will still consume Filipino products like Cebu mangos and dried fruits 🤣, the problem with East-Asians like Chinese, Japanese, Taiwanese and Koreans they like the Philippine because of Cebu. For some strange reasons they really love Cebu a lot that they think of Manila as non existent to them in the Philippines and people in Manila thinks that Koreans or East Asians in general look down on the Philippines because they don't like Manila vibe. It is better to ask the opinions of the Filipinos from different region than just concentrating the interview in Manila. People there are so emotional and cry babies.🤣
Majority of koreans has an extremely hate on japanese war flag but didn't know that their korean ancestors also joined and helps imperial japan to colonize Philippines and many stated that they are more brutal than regular japanese soldiers.
I think Bella's tattoo has little similarity with Japanese... That tattoo is actually a defection from our Christian faith that symbolize the sacred heart of Jesus. But closed minded people won't listen if when you explain it, because they only wanted to believed what they want to believe. Bella's tattoo is somewhat a common tattoo that a lot of Filipino inked their skin long before this controversy happen.
The Japanese rising sun is just the sun with 18 rays not the heart in the middle, and the reason why it was #cancelkorea was because of a video where a korean guy ripped a drawn picture of the Philippines flag, that's what I remember it being about
@@TripTipsPodcastto be honest Koreans are most racist, they kept on telling that Filipinos are short but I wonder and never heard that Korean woman won a single beauty pageant. Tsk tsk.
It’s written in the Bible to “ love one another…” and it speaks of the fruit of the spirit which we had always been taught and passed on by our forefathers. That’s our trade mark. That’s what we’re known for. We might not be rich but we’re rich in loving, smiling, sharing etc. Are we going to allow others to change that? Look at us. We might be living abroad as OFW or immigrants but we never forget to share what we can share or extend help to others. We may be poor but we’re not just survivors, we’re living a life because we have each other.
the Philippines l, like Korea, was invaded by the Japanese, too, and that was a dark time for us Filipinos, too. i think you also need to watch videos of how merciless Jaoanese soldiers are to not only Filipino soldiers, but to all Filipinos. children were killed and women were raped.
I just rolled my eyes when I got wind of this issue. TLDR, this was a bunch of kids on both sides, who were still not mature enough for delicate conversations online and willingly jumped on for the dog-pile, that exacerbated the situation. For one, Bella Poarch was originally from the PH but has been living a third of her life in Hawaii, and where the rising sun was, if I heard it correctly, kinda prominent because of the Japanese Navy (don't qoute me on it). Zeroing in on that one fact that she is Filipino as a cause to attack the whole of PH was just 🤦🏻♀️. The original tattoo was an anatomical heart with red rays on the background. For South Koreans who have been conditioned against the Japanese Rising Sun Flag would see it anywhere that has any modicum of similarity, and we shouldn't blame them for that. But for SKs to expect that everyone should know what it means to them is also kind of unfair, because as much as their media is consumed in the PH, where they expose their culture and traditions, their particular feeling against the symbol were not being shown in their shows, not that they need to. PH for one find the "come here" gesture with the forefinger as offensive, but unless you actively look for things that Filipinos find offensive, you wouldn't necessarily know that. It is not a sign that you are uneducated or uncultured, it's just that you don't know the culture very well because you are a foreigner, or you live outside the country basically. So, as much as everyone wants to fault Bella Poarch for the issue, we can't entirely blame her too. Everyone involved in this issue were really just reactive and didn't do their due diligence to understand the situation. The hashtag just put focus on the issue that could have easily just stayed in one corner of the internet.
@18:37 We are VERY RACIST in our own right -- Haha! wait what? haha i never saw that coming haha, ok fine we are racist but it's like 0.00000001% racist
You can disrespect our politicians, call them names and so on, Filipinos will just shrug their shoulders, but disrespecting our Philippines flag is a different story. Philippine flag is the most respected by us, Filipinos. It is not just flag, but more than that.
@@TripTipsPodcast Every part /inch of our flag has its history and symbolism that speaks volume of our ancestors' and heroes' struggles, and bravery to fight for the freedom we have today. Philippines was colonized by the Spaniards(333+years), Americans (48years) and Japanese(4years)
For me listening for a year about this issues i consume that everyone only has their own opinions and belief but still think and remember the limit. Spread love and be responsible for what we take action♥♥
Binastus talaga, pero Yung iBang influencer from Korea really said sorry to the whole Philippines they were so embarrassed of what one Korean deed to our Philippine Flag💔💔💔
Not a Bella fan, only knew about her because of this issue. But honestly, the Koreans were acting like entitled brats during this issue. It wasn't even a full on imperial flag but just some aspects of it. Bella's not Korean and was obviously ignorant of this history between Korea and Japan. And some of these Korean commenters were talking like learning Korean history was part of the Philippine academic curriculum. That is unreasonable and frankly unhinged - especially when most of them don't even know how much the Philippines participated in their war against the North. Something about it strikes me as hypocritical too, as it is considered an insult if you told a Korean "you look Filipino/Thai." My contention about this entire issue is how comfortable some of these Koreans are about belittling the Philippines. This is not the first or last issue where Koreans discriminated against Filipinos.
Actually, I don't know who's bella poarch is. I only know her just because of that issue and I don't have a TikTok that time, only my younger sister and I saw all of their comments, All of the comments are about anger, hatred toward to us. All the insults harsh and hurtful words coming from them are so below the belt. They called us a slave, maid, ugly, poor country, even our brown skin and etc. That issue of bella are all over the news and some TH-camrs tackled that issues too. Bella was the only one did a mistake but Koreans generalized all of filipinos, they're thinking that were tolerating the issues of bella. And some Koreans filming themselves trying to ripped apart our Philippine flag and that's a disrespect, not only for our flag but also for our country. Koreans are never let her breath, they're keep bashing her and after educating them about yultong war, they're saying sorry but all humiliating words that saying to us, really can't move on. This is also one of the reason why I quit being a kpop fan, because of their feeling superior attitude. (not all but maybe most of them are?) Then last year, I became a PPOP fan OMG!! They deserveeeee it and I deserveeeee them! 💙😩
They criticized bella for the imperial japanese flag because of their history about japanese but forgot their history that filipino soldiers fight for their freedom
that Filipino guy that said Filipinos are VER RACIST ON THEIR OWN RIGHT.,he just want to speak or practice in English and simply didn't understand the meaning of racist....i pity on him
Her tattoo is notrepresenting the Japanese flag. She just likes the sun tattoo. I don't know why they are offended. The cancel Korea happened because some South Koreans disrespect the flag and attacked the Filipinos as a whole.
If you go back and look at here tattoo closely, it really is not a sun, but a heart with red pillars. I believe it's an image of "the Heart of Jesus" with the red pillars as the blood of Jesus - which is very familiar to Filipino Christians, especially the Catholics... It's just that, Bella Porch did not explain this image to defend herself but just instantly apologized to those who got offended... I believe she's smart enough to not just easily have her body tattoed with insignificant art symbols, or images, or whatever you can call that. I believe whatever image she decided to be imprinted on her body permanently, is having a significant or sentimental value in her life, considering her being a Filipino (who are mostly very sentimental, generally speaking)
I've heard about it in the midst of pandemic, im kinda annoyed by some korean netizen react by attacking filipino as a whole but i didn't make comment about it. I know it all pass by and everyone will move on.
True story. Speaking of tattoos - a friend of mine went to Bali and decided to have a tattoo done there. So he wrote on a piece of paper the words "LEFT" meaning tattoo this image on the left arm and "RIGHT" for the other image etc. When the whole thing was done he went mad as hell because the tattooist wrote the word LEFT and RIGHT under the images on his arms. Funny but true. It's what you call lost in translation......
The Koreans was the first to post Cancel Philippines even they saw the video of Pilipino female Tik Toker who happened to had a tattoo on her Arms if a Japanese Flag which made Koreans so Angry and started to post Cancel Philippines and the Koreans degraded the Pilipinos in General. But the thing was Bella Porch.tje Pilipino-American Tik Toker already spologized when She learned that her tattoo offended the Koreans. Despite those new generations of Korean didn't know that they had taste the democracy in their Country because of the Pilipino doldiers who sacrificed their li es fighting their wars with the Communist such as China and North Koresns who wanted the whole Korean peninsula to become a Communist Country but it didn't happened because gought up to the last drop of their blood. The new generations never knew their History why they the life of being z democratic Country. I think it was because the government failed to teach it in the school about how the South Korea had not become a Communist Country simply because Pilipino Soldiers lay their lives for them.
bella poarch was stationed in Japan during her navy days ... she may know what the empirial flag symbolizes ... but never knew the impact to koreans. both korean and filipino women suffered in the hands of the japanese soldiers as being "comfort women" (sex slaves)... and the post.war japanese government financially compensated for their actions but the scars of war will forever remain...
the Hinomaru with rays is the flag used by the military... not the usual plain red circle used by the civilian govt... ... and since she is stationed in japan as American navy; she may have felt related to that symbol and her fascination with japan coupled with her love of tattoo.
We have our own fair share of a painful past with the Rising Sun. most countries in the Pacific saw and feared that flag during WWII. If the Koreans are hurt, we are hurt, too! The Philippines also suffered A LOT in the hands of the Japanese Imperial Army...brutal torture and killings done to both soldiers and civilian, even women and children. However, those are things of the past. Surely we can't forget the scars and heartache, but we can definitely forgive. Veterans from opposing countries during WWII have reconciled and forgiven each other, so why shouldn't our generation be the same? Japan is a changed country now. We don't have to dwell in the past.
These koreans disregard Bella's apology and that she didn't know about that thing about koreans.But i'm sure some of these teens didn't even know how filipinos helped their country during Korean war.If it wasn't for those who fought for their liberation,south korea wouldn't exist to this day.
18:37 I think what he meant here by being racist as a country was the regionalism that is quite common in the Philippines... not necessasrily a discrimination by race but by location (region or province) within the Philippines. Like how some people from Metro Manila area would look down on people from the south or from the provinces.
To be honest, majority of Filipinos don't even know what that flag symbolizes!!! Actually that was the first time i saw that flag? The reason for the "CancelKorea" is that some Koreans did some videos tearing apart the Philippine Flag and step on it even spit on it!!! That's a no-no hence "Cancel Korea" was formed. Bella said she did not even know what that flag symbolizes and she did apologized and will have it removed asap.
@@TripTipsPodcastShe was brought to the US at a young age by her adopted American stepfather. Most likely it was never taught in the schools she went to. The symbol might be hurtful to the entire Korean people but it could also have a positive/inspirational meaning to Bella or someone else.
The Filipino who said wer'e racist in our own right.. well it may apply to some or to a few but not to all. Likewise that it may apply to people of different countries.. racist are everywhere..
what sparked the anger was when that person ripped the philippines flag and mocked it, philippines and korea suffered the same from the Japanese, but the filipinos are taught to forgive. i remember we study history just to be informed and not to inflict hate and anger. 😅 they look down on filipinos and even mocked filipino/english accent but they all go there to learn english. lol the irony of it all... still i'm an army/a'tin. love both culture
Our filipinos soldiers help them save them being captured by the japanese back in the days while our country is also just starting to rebuild pur economy from being captivated by the japanese also.. its just that they are very sensitive that they think theyre just they only country who suffers from the hands of the japanese,, they its its a symbol of koreas downtimes but how about us filipinos whos been in that sad days too under japanese rules? Seriously? Are we the one who is uneducated and do not do the research? If that so then why they dont know that korea and philippines suffers the same way in the hands the japanese before?? Now tell us whos uneducated now!?
When a country experiences a war, for the first generation it's a current trauma. For the second generation it's a recent memory. By the third generation it's something that happened in the past. I feel sorry for people who step into a situation because they don't know about the history, or are not sensitive to all of the negative emotions attached to something in the past. She's apologized for her lack of knowledge and I hope everyone can learn about the events in the past.
In Tibet swastikas are a symbol of eternity. It's shocking the first time you see one painted on a door or building. Even when I found out the Tighten meaning I took a double look every time I saw it.
Filipinos aren't actually racists. It's more like xenophobic. I heard that regionalism is very strong in the Philippines and there are people from a region that doesn't get along too well from other regions and, they specifically don't like people from a certain region.
Yes in a way, because remember we’ve been ruled for more than 300yrs by Spaniards who brought with them different ppl from different countries like Portuguese (Magellan) and priest from different orders like Jesuits, Dominicans etc each of them competing against each other for ppl to go to their church or to work/enslaved them and spied for them on each other too. Same with different politicians too. Priest and politicians were either in cahoots or against each other. So, that’s why Jose Rizal exposed them through his books, Noli Mi Tangere and El Filibusterismo. But overall, over the years that had passed the people that we were before the colonizers came are still there within us, our being Asian Pilipino different from other Asians because we moved on, evolving into who we are now. 😬😬 Funny bc I remember in one of SB19 songs “bad and good experiences” kinda molded us. 😬✌🏼 As long as we’re united or majority of us are united for our country we will not just survived but lived a life.
What Korea suffered... the same way Philippines suffered during the Japanese invasions. Somehow, Filipinos are forgiving ... but still there are some " COMFORT WOMEN " survivors who cannot forget what they have suffered in the hands of abusive japanese soldiers .
the funny thing is that Bella is a Filipino-American but some toxic koreans only attack the Filipinos and not the Americans..During that time i wondered why are they only attacking the Philippines and not America.. I guess they really belittle our country because our country is poor..but ohw well past is past..hehe..but one things for sure I still enjoy Kpop and Kdramas but I realized korea is a country that is far from what I imagined ..Seeing videos and shorts about them being racist to black and southeast asians because of their skin color ruined my imagination..
We been colonized by Japanese too and our ancestor know about that flag,,, but our ancestor taught us for give and for get, coz what they've done in the past you can't bring it back, so we Filipino face the future and left the past behind...
Maybe the man mean racist in our own not to foreigners. Sad but it's true. Some of us(actually only few) became racist especially to our own indigenous people but we look highly at foreigners. Our Some rich people were also racist towards poor people. But this only contains less than 0.0001 percent of the philippine population. (Not exact but i just use the figure to visualize how few they were). In my own opinion, what's wrong with some korean doings is that they generalized the whole country in just 1 people. Degrading the national flag of 1 country is like degrading the whole country. Actually what is sad about some koreans is they hate filiipinos. I just remembered the story of one of our kababayan when a racist korean threw cabbage on him on the bus. He does not do anything with her. He was just their riding in the bus. And when the lady new he was a filipino she threw cabbage on him and what is sad, no one help him. All people on that bus just look at him. But for sure when that same incident happened here in the philippines with the koreans, i am 100 percent sure, there will be someone who will help and ask if the korean is ok.
Hello, D&J. I was a silent subscriber (before I did this comment though😁) and SB19 was the reason I became one, actually... But I can't hold myself to keep silent anymore because I read almost all the comments and I ran to a comment about this tattoo being just a religious sign rather than a Japanese rising sun flag. And so I went back to the part of the video and zoomed the part with Bella's tattoo being visible enough, and I clearly can see that it's not a Japanese flag but a heart, with red pillars. As far as i know it signifies the "Heart of Jesus" which I know is so familiar with the Christians, especially the Catholics. It is "the Heart of Jesus with the blood as pillars" which I think symbolizes Jesus' sacrifice... Though Bella Porch did not correct them and defend herself by explaining what that tattoo really was, but just instantly apologized to those who felt offended (and I admired her more for that) but I can surely say that it really is not a Japanese flag, but a "Sacred Heart of Jesus" image
And I think she's a smart girl, smart enough to not just decide to put a permanent mark on her body with something that is just ramdom, without knowing what it symbolizes. So i believe that her decision of having this image tattooed on her skin is because of the sentimental value, or the "significance of this one" in her life.
Bella Poarch is not Korean, The Philippines has relationship both with Korea and Japan why the heck she would be denied of the right to have the tattoo she wants of which ever country she chose. Are we now bound to Korean rules??
The story started with Bella tattoo but Filipinos got angry when a Korean guy tore the Philippine flag and post on social media. In revenge the filipino used hashtag cancel korea
This issue is funny because they didn't know that the Philippines got invaded by the Japanese too these Koreans who got offended by the tattoo are just too soft😂
You know what's ironic? The international audience criticizing kpop idols who are involved in a Nazi controversy, and Koreans criticize people in general who could not recognize the Japanese imperial flag. And what do these people who were criticized have in common: Lack of awareness. Just because a symbolism is well known in a country or in any part of the world, doesn't mean that EVERYONE is aware of it. Education systems around the world vary widely, and what may be emphasized in one curriculum could be glossed over in another. Ignorance isn't an excuse, but it's also not fair to expect everyone to know everything. However, if someone keeps making the same mistake after it's pointed out, that's a different story. At that point, it's on them to do some homework and show a little more awareness. We can cut some slack for the first slip-up, but let's not tolerate repeated ignorance.
Funny how koreans never forgets what they’ve gone through in the hands of the japanese back in tha war days but didn’t remember how a 1000 filipinos soldiers fights for thier freedom againts 40,000 chinese to capture thier lands.. i mean we filipinos have been captured and gone through abuses in the hands of the japanese rulers who degrades our ancestors before… but time has passed by, and as time fades the heartaches and hates also fades ang now we never hate japanese.. because we believe that the fault of the past will never be a fault of the new generation.. we love japan And even we been captured by the japanese before still we forget those days and forgive them.. we cannot move on if we dont know how to forgive…
That person who said Filipinos are racist do not know what he is talking about. You see every community or nation has people that are bad but to generalized that Filipinos are racist is wrong...
South Koreans in general has a strong racism against South East Asians, like Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, also Indians, who they (South Koreans) deem inferior to them, that was from Yeonmi Park, a now popular personality in the US originally from North Korea. She said that, South Koreans think highly of themselves and look down on those people from South East Asia. Filipinos are not the type of people you will start a fight. We are people pleaser, we want to be friends with everybody, but if you started a fight against us, always expect that we will go all out hence that CancelKorea. We are your best friends until you do us wrong.
"rising sun flag" is widely considered a symbol of Japanese militarism and is associated with the country's colonial period under Imperial Japan, causing many Koreans to view it as offensive. I think Bella had this tattoo when she served three years in Japan and Hawaii. Since Bella is Filipino, Korean netizens bash her. And of course, Filipino netizens didn't like what Koreans did, they made this #CancelKorea Movement. With the #sorryToFilipinos, we must forgive because we love peace, not war.
they remember what Japanese did to korea but Pilipino soldiers and government did to korea after korean war they almost forgot imagine the building of American embassy in Korea was build of Pilipino soldiers even the oldest gym in Korea
what Japanese did to korea it's worse what Japanese did to Philippines during World War 2 Philippines did not forgot what Japanese did look now Philippines and Japan relation because Philippines forgiveness it's doesn't mean we forgot what they did actually until now we talk about that in the school during history subject
The Philippines was invaded as well by Japan for 3 years, however, we're already friends with Japan, so the past is past, we already moved on. Not everybody knows about that flag. I just think that some people in SK haven't moved on yet about Japan. I'm not a fan of Bella Poarch but I don't think she should be criticized about that tattoo, "to each his own". But anyway, it's a good thing that this tattoo issue is all good now. Lesson learned we should have an open mind. Thank you once again for reacting to the Philippines. God bless...🙏
The emotional reaction of Koreans upon seeing the Japanese Rising Sun tattoo on Bella Porch's porch reflects the deep pain associated with the historical trauma of Japanese colonization. However, it's important to acknowledge that in the midst of expressing their pain, some individuals may have unfairly targeted Bella Porch and the Filipino people. While addressing historical injustices is crucial, it's also essential to recognize the complex and interconnected nature of colonial histories. This includes acknowledging the suffering inflicted by various nations, including instances where Koreans were involved in the colonization and attempted invasion of the Philippines. It's vital to approach these discussions with a balanced perspective that avoids double standards and embraces a more inclusive understanding of historical complexities.
We Filipinos are kind, so it's not difficult for us to accept apologize but they don't appreciate it. How sad😥 by the way new subscriber watching from philippines🇵🇭
first off the tattoo is a heart with what looks like rays... hey it's in the eye of the beholder, how they look at it and how they interpret it...if bella poach does not know anything about the japanese colonial flag then so be it... a lot of times people gets tattoo base on the color or how artsy the picture is, they don't do research about the image
We are racist on our own kind, like, others are bully when there's a ugly guy/girl walks around and they're beautiful/handsome. Just like human who judge what they don't understand.
BELLA is only HALF FILIPINO BUT WHY KOREAN ONLY ATTACK THE FILIPINOS OR THE PHILIPPINES AND WHY DIDN'T THE KOREAN ATTACK THE AMERICAN TOO?AND one more thing I think BELLA LIVES in the US hehe..I heard this issue too..and it hurts when I watch a KOREAN GUY vlogger who tore OUR PHILIPPINES FLAG in his video..THAT'S REALLY TOO MUCH FROM THEM
She's a FULL-BLOODED Filipino. She was adopted by her American stepfather and lived in the USA at a young age. In terms of nationality, she is already a naturalized “American" citizen, but is full-blooded Filipino (in technical terms, a Filipino immigrant). *google*
They are just ignorant... Lack of history... Maybe they don't know the 1950-56 Korean War... The first responder was the Filipino troops trough FEPTOK (Battle of Yultong, Eierie Hill and etc. ..Even our country is in the verge of recovery during WW2... Were the 1st and the last one to withdraw after 3 years .. Even helped in building reconstruction.. 😢
You should check out Jessica Lee’s perspective on this since she’s full Korean. This whole thing escalated after Bella. As far as Filipino discriminatory towards other race, I think it’s more of the older generations, just like in the US. Older generations discriminates against darker skin complexions. This is why many Filipinos love to bleach their skin. This is very sad thought.
I think most filipinos won't care if they only attack Bella Poarch.
This "cancel" thing started when "SEVERAL KOREAN VLOGGERS" Literally several, insulted the Philippine flag. They tear, spit and step on it.. The audacity to post it online was insane!
This issue took a very big hit to our heart. Especially with all the pandemic happening at that time.
We're not a rich country but we Filipino's highly respect and take pride on our national flag. That's how we were taught. We bring this pride and respect wherever we go.
Filipinos forgive easily but we never forget.
👍👍
Yes, b/c several means the whole country now.
In my personal opinion, she shouldn't have been criticized about it. Your body, your rules! That imperial flag had been used by the Japanese too when they invaded the Philippines but that was not taken as an issue by the Filipinos. Besides, we consider that as a thing of the past and we're now friends with Japanese and everyone regardless of which country you are from. So regardless of your beliefs, you must respect someone's understanding! You are free to discuss your idea but it must be done professionally and not belittle someone most importantly an entire ethnicity just because of a single person who may have made a mistake according to your interpretation of the case or scenario.
True.. they hold grudges and they doesn't know the word gratitude.. they don't apply it to themselves.. Filipinos helping them during their difficult times. But what they give in return to Filipinos? That's why I don't watch them. They are plastic like what they do to their body.. so much plastic surgery. Feeling superior
Well said thank you
That was the first time i saw that flag??? And i'm 65 years old. To be honest i don't know the history of that flag i'm sure most Filipinos will agree with me!!!
@@fredy241m first time I’ve seen it as well
I'm a Filipino am 43 years old añd its my first time to see that flag too. I'm sorry about what happened but in my opinion I would forget the past that brings so much pain and move forward with a happy life. I I know it's easy being said and done but what can we do?We love all races no matter what happened in the past. We love Koreans and we welcome all of you here in our country no matter where you are from.Love and respect to everyone and God bless us all.
I just hope Filipinos will love their own more. There's a recent Korean survey where they voted the Philippines as the #6 hated country but they come here to study English and their artists comes here all year round for concert and fan meetings. Filipinos need to support their own entertainment industry. Visited S.Korea before but not planning anymore.

Bella is such a sweet and chill person, especially when you see her on social media. she's not the type who involves herself in controversy on purpose nor the type who's going to put something on her body just to spew hate or go viral. i think it's dumb when you do that.
Filipinos don't do that
Yea she is very sweet
I wonder if she would have been that un aware about the rising sun flag had she been raised in the Philippines. You see in the Philippines, our history with colonizers including Japan is part of the curriculum as early as elementary education.

If it seems like the issue is not dying down in spite of the fact that the lady has apologized and a hashtag sorry to Filipinos trended then something is at play here and that is business groups want to extinguish Hallyu in the Philippines . It’s sad really.
Filipinos are suprisingly very forgiving. We even love the Japanese and Spanish inspite of what they did to this country in the past.
You are beautiful people
Yes, that is very true. And to think that 333 years is so long. According to my student they are demanding an apology to Japan. They won't forgive them unless they will apologize. They won't forget too. But who will do that? It happened a long time ago. The persons who did injustice to them were already gone.
Very true.
that #CancelKorea trend started when some Koreans started tearing, disrespecting Philippine flag in videos or live... And even thought Bella Poarch's tattoo had knowledge about that certain tattoo, she did not mean to offend anyone specifically Koreans...
Us Filipinos embrace everyone some of us just retaliate or fight back if its too much. Many of our Filipino workers in korea will attest that many Koreans look down on us and even criticize us of our work as maid or caregivers and on their national tv their celebretie made a joke of how we speak in English but still we are very forgiving people and koreans knows that, we have many koreans here in the Philippines and we do not go to that extreme when there is one mistake of one nationals. We experience more disrespect from koreans but we let it pass. Still we love Koreans. Philippines here in our country are kpop fans and kdrama fans, even Filipinos in many different countries are very much into kpop. The more thàn 1million plus who work in that lowly servanthood industry who do dirty works jobs are very passionate into kdrama because they are far from their families and that is their scape to not be taken over by homesickness. So Koreans please look into this that just like your kdrama please be nice and not look down on us.
Thanks for sharing this with us
Paps, I cant bare it. You talk too deep. Ang lalim chong. 🤯 There is overwhelming Pinoy action in social media and, coupled with a lockdown... 😂
🫵 they text A LOT!!! 🎉
@endtimes7 but the Filipinos working in Korea are professionals. What are you talking about? Have you heard of Koreans having maids? Also, you only get to work in Korea if you have the ability like engineer, teacher, doctor, nurse or in the fields of Technology. Stop talking as if you have experienced Korea. You talk as if you know. I know though that in Arab lands they have caregivers but definitely not Korea. Why would they give you a working Visa if you will become a maid? Think again, this place ain't Arab nation.
I guess the Koreans in the Philippines are right. Kdramas that portray Koreans as sweet, generous kind etc are just drama. They’re not real. They’re just illusions that’s hard to grasp. They’re right that everything’s the opposite of what’s in the drama. Be grateful to that you still have a country, South Korea. Watch your Great War history unfold on TH-cam.😬😬 can’t wait for you to educate yourself. Have Fun and let’s see how proud you’ll be.
@@narrayakal9010 thanks 😊
It's funny that some Koreans always say that Philippines should be educated about history when they themselves know very little about it. They didnt know that Japanese invaded the Philippines as well and only few of them know that the Philippines fought with them during the Korean war. I like Korea but I don't like it when some of them discriminate not just Filipinos but other Southeast Asian people.
Hypocrisy
There's also a 2023 Korean survey about the countries that Koreans hate, and Philippines is the #6 on the list..when i discovered that survey I was so disappointed..i mean, what've we done?..for them to hate us?..i can understand that they hate china, north korea and japan because of the invasion to korea..but the Philippines??..all we did all these times was to protect korea..until now, we are still supporting korea in different types of media..i can even say that Filipinos are the number one fans of kpop ang kdramas all over the world..but what they are doing in return is discriminating and belittling us..
This is also the reason why im proud as a Filipino.. because we've suffered a lot during those three periods of colonization from Spain, US, and Japan, but Filipinos never ever hold any grudge or hate to these 3 countries.. Philippines are friends of these countries and Filipinos love their people..we just know how to forgive and to forget.. that's why I love my country..
That’s sad they act like that after all the help from the Filipinos
@@TripTipsPodcast yeah..so disappointing..but what can we do?..some people tend to be ungrateful..
Anyways, please do react to "Battle of Yultong" and "March of the Valiant"..these are the stories told by the Filipino veterans who fought in the Korean War.. thanks and God bless you guys!..
@@savesadventures we will watch it
It all started when Bella Poarch's TikTok appeared with a tattoo of Japanese flag Rising Sun, which she didn't know the history behind it to the Koreans, but after learning it, she immediately apologized saying she really didn't know . The problem arises when one Korean tears, spit and stomped a symbol Philippine flag in his video...
Thanks for the info
Our history could be hurtful as our countrymen suffered from wars but we shouldn't be using it as a reason to harm anyone just because someone didn't know our history. Instead, let's educate everyone that a specific symbol has negative meaning to us but never expect that everyone should have the same feeling about it.
Past is a nice place to visit but definitely not a good place to stay. Therefore, let's move forward and treat everyone with respect and kindness.
Very well said
Guys, I believe Bella is an American Citizen with Filipino heritage and lives in the US. She apologized and vowed to be more educated about it and even said she would take it off or cover it. That should have ended it. Its when some Korean netizens started insulting Filipinos that escalated it, but Koreans and Filipinos have a strong bond so eventually it just blows over.
Yea touchy subject
it's like this, after Bella's tiktok, some Koreans filming that they are tearing our FLAG! little that they know they are FREE now because of our Heroes ... but yeah it is what it is ... those are teenager, we will never fight back to the Korean nor the Japanes, we are in one region .. they are just kids
👍👍
a lot of koreans look down on filipinos even before this happened. that's a well known fact but we always put it behind us, i mean it isn't something new and there's also lot of good koreans anyways so we'd rather have our focus on those. the thing is it's indeed bella's fault for being insensitive about the topic and not researching about it. her not experiencing the tragedy do not mean she could take the topic lightly. the video was her filming tiktok as usual when one took notice of her tattoo. when it blew up she took responsibility, apologized, reflected and did solutions she can do like removing the tattoo. i mean what else can she do aside from those? what's done is done, best next thing to do is what she already did. the issue should've ended at this point, educate her and move on. we were colonized by japan too as well as spain for hundreds of years. suffering and pain is not foreign to us but we learned not to let those emotions control and shape us. why do you think we still have a good relationship with japan and spain after everything we went through? let's not forget our history but let's also not project hate to those who don't deserve it. this went really big when koreans crossed the line by insulting the whole country even resorting to disrespecting our flag tearing it and stomping it. that's when filos decided to clap back defending ourselves from all the disrespect we've been receiving but no we did not go low as they did. we still respected the country, did not do anything to their flag just to get back and just provided facts that we may be poor but we're not dumb so they better stop making it look like they're a superior race. things got heated and good thing a lot of logical koreans took notice and decided to apologize for the toxic ones after some time all the anger subsided and peace between two countries are back 😅. i mean i already saw that coming, not to be biased but philippines have a huge heart and pretty much a forgiving country which our history already proved to be true plus a single tattoo is not worthy to have both countries in a bad blood when our relationship is supposed to have a strong foundation of friendship during korean war.
Well said
I don't think they look down on us. It is your own perception towards Koreans. If they look down on us why do they visit the Philippines and even migrate and live here. In the Philippines especially in Cebu you see plenty of them everywhere and they are people like us who think like us but they just have different culture. Stop acting like you have experienced that first hand.

Filipinos are broad minded people, we know that toxic people are in every part of the world but we also know that people with beautiful souls are scattered everywhere. That's the main reason why we don't put things at heart every bad things that occurs...
It is more important to be happy and face everyday with a smile. Besides karma is just around...waiting for the right timing to let you learn from your mistakes.
Very true
The Philippines is a very friendly country... racial discrimination is not part of our culture... however, we have our bottom lines, rules and patience, too... Filipinos are courageous and brave and are willing to fight head-on with giants when it is necessary for our country and loved ones.
this was before. but i noticed a change when sb19 became popular. a lot of them respect filipino artists now.and because of vloggers educating foreign fans about filipinos' culture. we respect other country's culture. so they should respect ours as well
You guys are Americans. You know what democracy means.
Why should a person's tattoo (which only looks like the Japanese imperial flag) matter to another person? It's her skin. It offends other peoples' feelings? Why? Did she verbally attack the Koreans? Or are the South Koreans just narrow minded?
The Philippines was also occupied by the Japanese in WW2. Why weren't the Filipinos crucifying her? 'Cause it is just a "simple damn tattoo that 'looks like' the Japanese flag".
So South Koreans has a monopoly on art?
Why should she apologize? Did she kill any SK? Did she terrorize them? Did she say anything bad about SK?
Or would you think SKs doing this... are they just bullies?
Very valid points thanks for sharing
Should we also blamed south korea cause most of soldier that Japanese bring in Philippines is korean
I can understand the South Koreans negative feelings toward the Japanese imperial flag since it can be compared to the Nazi flag. The issue is that a small group of Koreans took to social media and attack a whole country rather than taking their issue with Bella Poarch. The important thing is we communicate with each other more, educate ourselves about these matters, and learn to respect one another.
I stopped consuming anything korean made since that issue, also stopped watching any K-Pop or KDrama as well. We Filipinos do Forgive but never Forget.
Very true! We forgive easily but will never forget.. First-handed the mistreatment of Korean's to Filipinos in our own country! At that time kpop or kdrama is not a thing yet.
They don't care if you stop consuming, they will still consume Filipino products like Cebu mangos and dried fruits 🤣, the problem with East-Asians like Chinese, Japanese, Taiwanese and Koreans they like the Philippine because of Cebu. For some strange reasons they really love Cebu a lot that they think of Manila as non existent to them in the Philippines and people in Manila thinks that Koreans or East Asians in general look down on the Philippines because they don't like Manila vibe. It is better to ask the opinions of the Filipinos from different region than just concentrating the interview in Manila. People there are so emotional and cry babies.🤣
Majority of koreans has an extremely hate on japanese war flag but didn't know that their korean ancestors also joined and helps imperial japan to colonize Philippines and many stated that they are more brutal than regular japanese soldiers.
Interesting 🤔
I think Bella's tattoo has little similarity with Japanese... That tattoo is actually a defection from our Christian faith that symbolize the sacred heart of Jesus. But closed minded people won't listen if when you explain it, because they only wanted to believed what they want to believe. Bella's tattoo is somewhat a common tattoo that a lot of Filipino inked their skin long before this controversy happen.
Really the christian faith? 🤣
Filipinos Are hospitality..kind and sweet the way to treat u always smile .but if the Filipinos getting angry ..malala hahaha
The Japanese rising sun is just the sun with 18 rays not the heart in the middle, and the reason why it was #cancelkorea was because of a video where a korean guy ripped a drawn picture of the Philippines flag, that's what I remember it being about

Agree, between the very rich and the very poor.
The aetas and the non eatas or indigenous people
the Philippines l, like Korea, was invaded by the Japanese, too, and that was a dark time for us Filipinos, too. i think you also need to watch videos of how merciless Jaoanese soldiers are to not only Filipino soldiers, but to all Filipinos. children were killed and women were raped.
I just rolled my eyes when I got wind of this issue. TLDR, this was a bunch of kids on both sides, who were still not mature enough for delicate conversations online and willingly jumped on for the dog-pile, that exacerbated the situation.
For one, Bella Poarch was originally from the PH but has been living a third of her life in Hawaii, and where the rising sun was, if I heard it correctly, kinda prominent because of the Japanese Navy (don't qoute me on it). Zeroing in on that one fact that she is Filipino as a cause to attack the whole of PH was just 🤦🏻♀️.
The original tattoo was an anatomical heart with red rays on the background. For South Koreans who have been conditioned against the Japanese Rising Sun Flag would see it anywhere that has any modicum of similarity, and we shouldn't blame them for that. But for SKs to expect that everyone should know what it means to them is also kind of unfair, because as much as their media is consumed in the PH, where they expose their culture and traditions, their particular feeling against the symbol were not being shown in their shows, not that they need to.
PH for one find the "come here" gesture with the forefinger as offensive, but unless you actively look for things that Filipinos find offensive, you wouldn't necessarily know that. It is not a sign that you are uneducated or uncultured, it's just that you don't know the culture very well because you are a foreigner, or you live outside the country basically.
So, as much as everyone wants to fault Bella Poarch for the issue, we can't entirely blame her too. Everyone involved in this issue were really just reactive and didn't do their due diligence to understand the situation. The hashtag just put focus on the issue that could have easily just stayed in one corner of the internet.
Ewan ko sau Filipinos were just defending.. bkit gusto mo magpatapak nalang. Ikaw nalang wag mo kmi idamay. Nood pa ng Korean drama

Bella said then that she was inspired to get that tattoo by another tiktoker or influencer, i think.
You can disrespect our politicians, call them names and so on, Filipinos will just shrug their shoulders, but disrespecting our Philippines flag is a different story. Philippine flag is the most respected by us, Filipinos. It is not just flag, but more than that.

Not a Bella fan, only knew about her because of this issue. But honestly, the Koreans were acting like entitled brats during this issue. It wasn't even a full on imperial flag but just some aspects of it. Bella's not Korean and was obviously ignorant of this history between Korea and Japan. And some of these Korean commenters were talking like learning Korean history was part of the Philippine academic curriculum. That is unreasonable and frankly unhinged - especially when most of them don't even know how much the Philippines participated in their war against the North. Something about it strikes me as hypocritical too, as it is considered an insult if you told a Korean "you look Filipino/Thai." My contention about this entire issue is how comfortable some of these Koreans are about belittling the Philippines. This is not the first or last issue where Koreans discriminated against Filipinos.
👍👍
Actually, I don't know who's bella poarch is. I only know her just because of that issue and I don't have a TikTok that time, only my younger sister and I saw all of their comments, All of the comments are about anger, hatred toward to us. All the insults harsh and hurtful words coming from them are so below the belt. They called us a slave, maid, ugly, poor country, even our brown skin and etc. That issue of bella are all over the news and some TH-camrs tackled that issues too. Bella was the only one did a mistake but Koreans generalized all of filipinos, they're thinking that were tolerating the issues of bella. And some Koreans filming themselves trying to ripped apart our Philippine flag and that's a disrespect, not only for our flag but also for our country. Koreans are never let her breath, they're keep bashing her and after educating them about yultong war, they're saying sorry but all humiliating words that saying to us, really can't move on.
This is also one of the reason why I quit being a kpop fan, because of their feeling superior attitude. (not all but maybe most of them are?)
Then last year, I became a PPOP fan OMG!! They deserveeeee it and I deserveeeee them! 💙😩
Being a ppop fan is so much more wholesome and less toxic
They criticized bella for the imperial japanese flag because of their history about japanese but forgot their history that filipino soldiers fight for their freedom
So sad
that Filipino guy that said Filipinos are VER RACIST ON THEIR OWN RIGHT.,he just want to speak or practice in English and simply didn't understand the meaning of racist....i pity on him
Her tattoo is notrepresenting the Japanese flag. She just likes the sun tattoo. I don't know why they are offended. The cancel Korea happened because some South Koreans disrespect the flag and attacked the Filipinos as a whole.
If you go back and look at here tattoo closely, it really is not a sun, but a heart with red pillars. I believe it's an image of "the Heart of Jesus" with the red pillars as the blood of Jesus - which is very familiar to Filipino Christians, especially the Catholics... It's just that, Bella Porch did not explain this image to defend herself but just instantly apologized to those who got offended... I believe she's smart enough to not just easily have her body tattoed with insignificant art symbols, or images, or whatever you can call that. I believe whatever image she decided to be imprinted on her body permanently, is having a significant or sentimental value in her life, considering her being a Filipino (who are mostly very sentimental, generally speaking)
I've heard about it in the midst of pandemic, im kinda annoyed by some korean netizen react by attacking filipino as a whole but i didn't make comment about it. I know it all pass by and everyone will move on.
Yea people will move on eventually
True story. Speaking of tattoos - a friend of mine went to Bali and decided to have a tattoo done there. So he wrote on a piece of paper the words "LEFT" meaning tattoo this image on the left arm and "RIGHT" for the other image etc. When the whole thing was done he went mad as hell because the tattooist wrote the word LEFT and RIGHT under the images on his arms. Funny but true. It's what you call lost in translation......
Lmao
The Koreans was the first to post Cancel Philippines even they saw the video of Pilipino female Tik Toker who happened to had a tattoo on her Arms if a Japanese Flag which made Koreans so Angry
and started to post Cancel Philippines and the Koreans degraded the Pilipinos in General.
But the thing was Bella Porch.tje Pilipino-American Tik Toker already spologized when She learned that her tattoo offended the Koreans.
Despite those new generations of Korean didn't know that they had taste the democracy in their Country because of the Pilipino doldiers who sacrificed their li es fighting their wars with the Communist such as China and North Koresns who wanted the whole Korean peninsula to become a Communist Country but it didn't happened because gought up to the last drop of their blood. The new generations never knew their History why they the life of being z democratic Country. I think it was because the government failed to teach it in the school about how
the South Korea had not become a Communist Country simply because Pilipino Soldiers lay their lives for them.
For me,, welcome to the philippines ❤❤😊😊 the very well.said. lets spread the love 😍😍
The word is not "racist", it is more of a grudge. Because we retaliate and fight back when we are offended.
I see
No, Filipinos are not racist. That guy maybe does not know what he is talking about.
Most Koreans discriminate Filipinos
I suddenly remembered of a video from Korea where Koreans use the word "Filipino" as a derogatory term.
I dont agree that filipino are racist. We love foreigners and we treat them nice. Lets just forgive and forget and move on.
Agreed
bella poarch was stationed in Japan during her navy days ... she may know what the empirial flag symbolizes ... but never knew the impact to koreans.
both korean and filipino women suffered in the hands of the japanese soldiers as being "comfort women" (sex slaves)...
and the post.war japanese government financially compensated for their actions but the scars of war will forever remain...
Idk why she got that
the Hinomaru with rays is the flag used by the military... not the usual plain red circle used by the civilian govt...
... and since she is stationed in japan as American navy; she may have felt related to that symbol and her fascination with japan coupled with her love of tattoo.
@@dvdhr1 I see
We have our own fair share of a painful past with the Rising Sun. most countries in the Pacific saw and feared that flag during WWII. If the Koreans are hurt, we are hurt, too! The Philippines also suffered A LOT in the hands of the Japanese Imperial Army...brutal torture and killings done to both soldiers and civilian, even women and children. However, those are things of the past. Surely we can't forget the scars and heartache, but we can definitely forgive. Veterans from opposing countries during WWII have reconciled and forgiven each other, so why shouldn't our generation be the same? Japan is a changed country now. We don't have to dwell in the past.
Absolutely 👍
These koreans disregard Bella's apology and that she didn't know about that thing about koreans.But i'm sure some of these teens didn't even know how filipinos helped their country during Korean war.If it wasn't for those who fought for their liberation,south korea wouldn't exist to this day.
Agreed
I really suggest you to watch how the Philippines flag was disrespected (spit on, stomped on, and torn) because of this incident.
18:37 I think what he meant here by being racist as a country was the regionalism that is quite common in the Philippines... not necessasrily a discrimination by race but by location (region or province) within the Philippines. Like how some people from Metro Manila area would look down on people from the south or from the provinces.
Oh I get it
Agreed
To be honest, majority of Filipinos don't even know what that flag symbolizes!!! Actually that was the first time i saw that flag? The reason for the "CancelKorea" is that some Koreans did some videos tearing apart the Philippine Flag and step on it even spit on it!!! That's a no-no hence "Cancel Korea" was formed. Bella said she did not even know what that flag symbolizes and she did apologized and will have it removed asap.
That’s crazy she didn’t know
@@TripTipsPodcastShe was brought to the US at a young age by her adopted American stepfather. Most likely it was never taught in the schools she went to. The symbol might be hurtful to the entire Korean people but it could also have a positive/inspirational meaning to Bella or someone else.
The Filipino who said wer'e racist in our own right.. well it may apply to some or to a few but not to all. Likewise that it may apply to people of different countries.. racist are everywhere..
Filipinos choose to forgive .
what sparked the anger was when that person ripped the philippines flag and mocked it, philippines and korea suffered the same from the Japanese, but the filipinos are taught to forgive. i remember we study history just to be informed and not to inflict hate and anger. 😅 they look down on filipinos and even mocked filipino/english accent but they all go there to learn english. lol the irony of it all... still i'm an army/a'tin. love both culture
So sad 😞
Our filipinos soldiers help them save them being captured by the japanese back in the days while our country is also just starting to rebuild pur economy from being captivated by the japanese also.. its just that they are very sensitive that they think theyre just they only country who suffers from the hands of the japanese,, they its its a symbol of koreas downtimes but how about us filipinos whos been in that sad days too under japanese rules? Seriously? Are we the one who is uneducated and do not do the research? If that so then why they dont know that korea and philippines suffers the same way in the hands the japanese before?? Now tell us whos uneducated now!?
👍👍
When a country experiences a war, for the first generation it's a current trauma. For the second generation it's a recent memory. By the third generation it's something that happened in the past. I feel sorry for people who step into a situation because they don't know about the history, or are not sensitive to all of the negative emotions attached to something in the past. She's apologized for her lack of knowledge and I hope everyone can learn about the events in the past.
In Tibet swastikas are a symbol of eternity. It's shocking the first time you see one painted on a door or building. Even when I found out the Tighten meaning I took a double look every time I saw it.
She made up for it
Filipinos aren't actually racists. It's more like xenophobic. I heard that regionalism is very strong in the Philippines and there are people from a region that doesn't get along too well from other regions and, they specifically don't like people from a certain region.
Yes in a way, because remember we’ve been ruled for more than 300yrs by Spaniards who brought with them different ppl from different countries like Portuguese (Magellan) and priest from different orders like Jesuits, Dominicans etc each of them competing against each other for ppl to go to their church or to work/enslaved them and spied for them on each other too. Same with different politicians too. Priest and politicians were either in cahoots or against each other. So, that’s why Jose Rizal exposed them through his books, Noli Mi Tangere and El Filibusterismo. But overall, over the years that had passed the people that we were before the colonizers came are still there within us, our being Asian Pilipino different from other Asians because we moved on, evolving into who we are now. 😬😬 Funny bc I remember in one of SB19 songs “bad and good experiences” kinda molded us. 😬✌🏼 As long as we’re united or majority of us are united for our country we will not just survived but lived a life.
What Korea suffered... the same way Philippines suffered during the Japanese invasions. Somehow, Filipinos are forgiving ... but still there are some " COMFORT WOMEN " survivors who cannot forget what they have suffered in the hands of abusive japanese soldiers .
I can understand that
Cancel Korea came up when a korean guy took to social media and did something to the Philippine flag after Bella Poarch issue...
There is a Korean Netizen who teared the flag of the Philippines and calling us names and cancelling Philippines because of the tattoo.
Thanks, Big D and Jeremy! ❤❤❤❤❤
Our pleasure
the funny thing is that Bella is a Filipino-American but some toxic koreans only attack the Filipinos and not the Americans..During that time i wondered why are they only attacking the Philippines and not America.. I guess they really belittle our country because our country is poor..but ohw well past is past..hehe..but one things for sure I still enjoy Kpop and Kdramas but I realized korea is a country that is far from what I imagined ..Seeing videos and shorts about them being racist to black and southeast asians because of their skin color ruined my imagination..
We been colonized by Japanese too and our ancestor know about that flag,,, but our ancestor taught us for give and for get, coz what they've done in the past you can't bring it back, so we Filipino face the future and left the past behind...
Maybe the man mean racist in our own not to foreigners. Sad but it's true. Some of us(actually only few) became racist especially to our own indigenous people but we look highly at foreigners. Our Some rich people were also racist towards poor people. But this only contains less than 0.0001 percent of the philippine population. (Not exact but i just use the figure to visualize how few they were).
In my own opinion, what's wrong with some korean doings is that they generalized the whole country in just 1 people. Degrading the national flag of 1 country is like degrading the whole country. Actually what is sad about some koreans is they hate filiipinos. I just remembered the story of one of our kababayan when a racist korean threw cabbage on him on the bus. He does not do anything with her. He was just their riding in the bus. And when the lady new he was a filipino she threw cabbage on him and what is sad, no one help him. All people on that bus just look at him.
But for sure when that same incident happened here in the philippines with the koreans, i am 100 percent sure, there will be someone who will help and ask if the korean is ok.
That’s so messed up
Hello, D&J. I was a silent subscriber (before I did this comment though😁) and SB19 was the reason I became one, actually... But I can't hold myself to keep silent anymore because I read almost all the comments and I ran to a comment about this tattoo being just a religious sign rather than a Japanese rising sun flag. And so I went back to the part of the video and zoomed the part with Bella's tattoo being visible enough, and I clearly can see that it's not a Japanese flag but a heart, with red pillars. As far as i know it signifies the "Heart of Jesus" which I know is so familiar with the Christians, especially the Catholics. It is "the Heart of Jesus with the blood as pillars" which I think symbolizes Jesus' sacrifice... Though Bella Porch did not correct them and defend herself by explaining what that tattoo really was, but just instantly apologized to those who felt offended (and I admired her more for that) but I can surely say that it really is not a Japanese flag, but a "Sacred Heart of Jesus" image
Oooh interesting. That actually makes more sense
And I think she's a smart girl, smart enough to not just decide to put a permanent mark on her body with something that is just ramdom, without knowing what it symbolizes. So i believe that her decision of having this image tattooed on her skin is because of the sentimental value, or the "significance of this one" in her life.
Bella Poarch is not Korean, The Philippines has relationship both with Korea and Japan why the heck she would be denied of the right to have the tattoo she wants of which ever country she chose. Are we now bound to Korean rules??
Yea idk personally.
The story started with Bella tattoo but Filipinos got angry when a Korean guy tore the Philippine flag and post on social media. In revenge the filipino used hashtag cancel korea
This issue is funny because they didn't know that the Philippines got invaded by the Japanese too these Koreans who got offended by the tattoo are just too soft😂
I remember there are some Japanese youtubers who also reacted on this issue too.
Yea it’s a big deal
You know what's ironic? The international audience criticizing kpop idols who are involved in a Nazi controversy, and Koreans criticize people in general who could not recognize the Japanese imperial flag.
And what do these people who were criticized have in common: Lack of awareness.
Just because a symbolism is well known in a country or in any part of the world, doesn't mean that EVERYONE is aware of it. Education systems around the world vary widely, and what may be emphasized in one curriculum could be glossed over in another.
Ignorance isn't an excuse, but it's also not fair to expect everyone to know everything. However, if someone keeps making the same mistake after it's pointed out, that's a different story. At that point, it's on them to do some homework and show a little more awareness. We can cut some slack for the first slip-up, but let's not tolerate repeated ignorance.
Very well said 👍
Funny how koreans never forgets what they’ve gone through in the hands of the japanese back in tha war days but didn’t remember how a 1000 filipinos soldiers fights for thier freedom againts 40,000 chinese to capture thier lands.. i mean we filipinos have been captured and gone through abuses in the hands of the japanese rulers who degrades our ancestors before… but time has passed by, and as time fades the heartaches and hates also fades ang now we never hate japanese.. because we believe that the fault of the past will never be a fault of the new generation.. we love japan And even we been captured by the japanese before still we forget those days and forgive them.. we cannot move on if we dont know how to forgive…
Very well said
Well things have subsided ...
That person who said Filipinos are racist do not know what he is talking about. You see every community or nation has people that are bad but to generalized that Filipinos are racist is wrong...
South Koreans in general has a strong racism against South East Asians, like Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, also Indians, who they (South Koreans) deem inferior to them, that was from Yeonmi Park, a now popular personality in the US originally from North Korea. She said that, South Koreans think highly of themselves and look down on those people from South East Asia.
Filipinos are not the type of people you will start a fight. We are people pleaser, we want to be friends with everybody, but if you started a fight against us, always expect that we will go all out hence that CancelKorea. We are your best friends until you do us wrong.
I heard. So sad to hear
Im here again bro
see you in the Philippines 🇵🇭
😊👍😊👍
She's not aware of it, because it's not even the Rising Flag tbh 🤦♀
😭
Korea and the Philippines were both occupied by Japan, but the Filipinos never harbored anger towards the countries that occupied the Philippines
To answer your question Filipinos are descriminating against fellow Filipino. Especially when speaking english.
"rising sun flag" is widely considered a symbol of Japanese militarism and is associated with the country's colonial period under Imperial Japan, causing many Koreans to view it as offensive. I think Bella had this tattoo when she served three years in Japan and Hawaii. Since Bella is Filipino, Korean netizens bash her. And of course, Filipino netizens didn't like what Koreans did, they made this #CancelKorea Movement. With the #sorryToFilipinos, we must forgive because we love peace, not war.
they remember what Japanese did to korea but Pilipino soldiers and government did to korea after korean war they almost forgot imagine the building of American embassy in Korea was build of Pilipino soldiers even the oldest gym in Korea
what Japanese did to korea it's worse what Japanese did to Philippines during World War 2 Philippines did not forgot what Japanese did look now Philippines and Japan relation because Philippines forgiveness it's doesn't mean we forgot what they did actually until now we talk about that in the school during history subject
The Philippines was invaded as well by Japan for 3 years, however, we're already friends with Japan, so the past is past, we already moved on. Not everybody knows about that flag. I just think that some people in SK haven't moved on yet about Japan. I'm not a fan of Bella Poarch but I don't think she should be criticized about that tattoo, "to each his own". But anyway, it's a good thing that this tattoo issue is all good now. Lesson learned we should have an open mind. Thank you once again for reacting to the Philippines. God bless...🙏
Absolutely ❤️
I think bella poarch know what the rising sun tattoo means but she doesn't know the history of that flag to koreans
Seems like it
The emotional reaction of Koreans upon seeing the Japanese Rising Sun tattoo on Bella Porch's porch reflects the deep pain associated with the historical trauma of Japanese colonization. However, it's important to acknowledge that in the midst of expressing their pain, some individuals may have unfairly targeted Bella Porch and the Filipino people. While addressing historical injustices is crucial, it's also essential to recognize the complex and interconnected nature of colonial histories. This includes acknowledging the suffering inflicted by various nations, including instances where Koreans were involved in the colonization and attempted invasion of the Philippines. It's vital to approach these discussions with a balanced perspective that avoids double standards and embraces a more inclusive understanding of historical complexities.
I see. Thanks for writing this 🤝😊
Filipino is very friendly people and humble but if u racist they are much more and more racist in exchange in Filipino itself but not in foreigners😂✌️
There’s a missing big part in this interview - the one where a Korean man stepped on the Filipino flag that enraged the Filipinos
We Filipinos are kind, so it's not difficult for us to accept apologize but they don't appreciate it. How sad😥 by the way new subscriber watching from philippines🇵🇭
Thanks for subscribing we appreciate your support 😊❤️😊❤️
OK thanks also I'm glad you bro😊
Filipinos just dont like discrimination "racist". 😊😊😊
first off the tattoo is a heart with what looks like rays... hey it's in the eye of the beholder, how they look at it and how they interpret it...if bella poach does not know anything about the japanese colonial flag then so be it... a lot of times people gets tattoo base on the color or how artsy the picture is, they don't do research about the image
Thanks for sharing this with us
17:52 im korean wtf did he say 😂
We are racist on our own kind, like, others are bully when there's a ugly guy/girl walks around and they're beautiful/handsome. Just like human who judge what they don't understand.
Oh I understand
BELLA is only HALF FILIPINO BUT WHY KOREAN ONLY ATTACK THE FILIPINOS OR THE PHILIPPINES AND WHY DIDN'T THE KOREAN ATTACK THE AMERICAN TOO?AND one more thing I think BELLA LIVES in the US hehe..I heard this issue too..and it hurts when I watch a KOREAN GUY vlogger who tore OUR PHILIPPINES FLAG in his video..THAT'S REALLY TOO MUCH FROM THEM
😞
She's a FULL-BLOODED Filipino. She was adopted by her American stepfather and lived in the USA at a young age. In terms of nationality, she is already a naturalized “American" citizen, but is full-blooded Filipino (in technical terms, a Filipino immigrant).
*google*
@@ezmzng thanks 😊
I could say that we are more teasers than racist hahaha, even in the family teasing and annoying one another exist...
They are just ignorant... Lack of history... Maybe they don't know the 1950-56 Korean War... The first responder was the Filipino troops trough FEPTOK (Battle of Yultong, Eierie Hill and etc. ..Even our country is in the verge of recovery during WW2... Were the 1st and the last one to withdraw after 3 years .. Even helped in building reconstruction.. 😢
You should check out Jessica Lee’s perspective on this since she’s full Korean. This whole thing escalated after Bella. As far as Filipino discriminatory towards other race, I think it’s more of the older generations, just like in the US. Older generations discriminates against darker skin complexions. This is why many Filipinos love to bleach their skin. This is very sad thought.
