@@MrMGLo I’m sure there are but the problem is during the Khmer Rouge era, half blooded Cambodians had to secretly change their surname to avoid getting caught and executed by suspicious Khmer Rouge soldiers. Thus, nowadays those descendants might’ve forgotten their roots. You can take me as an example, as a half Chinese Cambodian my grandpa had to change our Chinese surname to avoid getting caught in order to survive the regime.
I consider myself a consumate ameteur researcher of odd or unusual Filipino history. But I never even heard of a hint or a rumor about this topic. It really goes to show you how bad our education system is by hardly ever linking us to the rest of the region.
Ikr? I didn't really learn much when they were trying to explain the philippine revolution when i was is 3rd grade. Like what? Y'all expect ME?!! A 7y-old to completely understand that?!! XD
True. In part, they're trying to teach things too early (a lot of topics taught to students from Grade 3-6 are a bit too advanced for their young minds, especially when they use old Spanish or native terms that the students don't know). But also there's a lack of teaching when it comes to Mainland Southeast Asia. At best we get taught about trade with Malaysia, Indonesia, Taiwan, China, and Japan, but not much about Cambodia or Vietnam.
Pepita declined Cause she would have to change her religion and didnt want it......nothing to do with him having 47 wives tho......he never even met some of his wives😂😂😂😂
@@mariajason3547 Yes that too. I think it is still related somehow cos Norodom's religion allows polygamy while in Pepita's devotion to her religion, she doesn't believe in it and sticks to Catholicism which practices monogamy
Kahit sino siguro simpleng babae, not greedy for power and wealth would not accept that marriage. Yes, he's smitten temporarily but who knows in the long run, baka isa lang din siya sa ilampung asawa na hindi man lang nakikita. Men are fickle, royalty or not. Better stay single than fight for attention with all those wives. Good for her, may paninindigan.
Hello Kirby, have you investigated Filipino influence in Mexico? I have read there was a lot of cultural exchange between Mexico and Philippines up until Mexico got its independence. The area of Acapulco has a centuries-old Filipino community, some of whom became important figures in Mexican history. Ricardo Pinzon made a list of historical Mexican governors and even one president (Juan Alvarez), who he found out they had Filipino ancestry. Drinking tuba is also common in some parts of Mexico. Small boats are called "pangas". A type of shirt called guayabera in Spanish is believed to come from what Filipinos call barong tagalog. Mango Manila and mango Ataulfo are Mexican-produced mangos but both originate in the Philippines. And one last thing, probably what surprised me the most, cockfighting also reached Mexico (and from there, many other countries) via Philippines.
The Manila-Acapulco Trade was the reason of my Family's existence, my fourth great grandfather was a Half Spanish Half Mexican, son of a Insular Lady and a Mexican Man. He then came in the Philippines as he was shipping loot and merchant products, Married a a Filipina Mestiza and moved from Manila to Samar.
Gusto ko sana gumawa sila ng pelikula tungkol sa kasaysayan na ito! It is sooo interesting how it all came to be! Worthy of a movie! Along with all of the depths of political issues.
U r a very good historian. I hope ur channel will grow not only for the history of philippine, but also detail history of all south east asian. Love from 🇲🇾.
Terima Kasih!! I have a series of video about Southeast Asia (not just Philippines) coming up this year 😊 I'm also releasing my book on Ancient Southeast Asian Women (queens, warriors, etc.) very soon!
@@KirbyAraullo Nice... im looking forward to it... that book also interest me... i like hearing stories of lady warrior, especially if it is from our regions...
One thing we have in common with Cambodia is their use of coconut on their dishes. When I had visited the country, I found they have their version of kalamay sa latik.
I often visited Cambodia before going to the neighboring countries whenever I am on a long week days break from the office in Bangkok anyway I remembered a Cambodian tour guide told me about the story of the King and Josefa when he'd learned that I am a filipino born. I couldn't forget the tourists priceless reactions who at that time heard our conversation. One of them said " maybe the reason why my eyes keep looking at her" and (laughters broke out) that I noticed from the airport lol😀. Those old couples said they'd thought that I am a European in w/c I didn't know how to react but said they had many filipino friends who looks naturally charismatic and quite beautiful. The gentle nature and a sophistication of a Filipina is regarded as one of the top most beautiful women in the world the Cambodian tour guide said. In Cambodia in the mid 1990's filipino was well accommodated and respected differed when the millennials entered.
Maria Simone: I agree wholeheartedly with your description of the generation of Filipinas before the millennials, although of course, there are a few exceptions. My estranged British husband said: “One day, the world will wake up and see that the Filipinos are running the world!” IF, by miracle that happens, the world will be a kinder, more God-loving, caring and happy world, so long as the corrupt politicians and the “manlokoko” do not join in.
Cambodian see Filipino as "Western High Class People" as their skin color and culture are almost the same. They kinda have a bias toward "white westerner" but a beautiful brown skin filipino act like westerner? Yeah, that a goddess for the Cambodian
Excellent documentary, Datu Kirby. If there was a possibility of chance, that the King of Cambodia and Ms Roxas do get married, it will still be a sad story. Because Ms Roxas's life will still end after eleven years, unless the King would determine that there was something wrong with her health and cure her.

I only know a very popular song composer in Cambodia’s golden age in the 60s was half Filipino his father is half Filipino Portuguese who came to Cambodia through French troops to play saxophone for the royalty and his mother is Cambodian and a royal ballet dancer/singer. He was well known for producing beautiful melodies and skillful in playing saxophones.

This is very interesting. I never heard before that a Cambodian king has visited the Philippines during the Spanish era. I should subscribe to this channel because I think I'll learn so much from this channel 👍👏

Hi Kirby, can you do a video on Marcelo Azcárraga Palmero. I think Filipinos would be shocked to know that a Filipino (technically born and raised in the Philippines and with Filipino blood) was Prime Minister of Spain during the times of the Philippine revolution no less. I only found this out by perusing different Philippine colleges in Wikipedia and I found him on the notable alumni in the Philippine Merchant Marine Academy formerly Escuela Nautica de Manila.
Hehehe... A lady just commented that her estranged British husband once quipped - " Someday the the world would wake up to find Filipinos ruling the world! Really tickled me, hehehe! May be someday me thinks.
Oh I would love to compile all the videos of you Kirby since you know so well the entire relationship or connection befor the Spanish empire came to the Philippines.

I have just recently (within the past couple of years) discovered your site. As an American married to a Pampangan; I have gotten "hooked" on your histories as they give me insight into your history & culture BEYOND what I have found in my studies of the early days of WWII & the attack on the Philippines & the attack on Pearl Harbor HI.

I wish more kids right now would have genuine interest and not neglect these things instead of just focusing mostly on social medias and superficial entertainment. You did well in providing appropriate and vivid visuals for this, and we all love a well-researched prof 🤗. Will binge more on your content 😁
If just in case they ended marrying then the revolutionaries will think of a unifying figure or a monarch that can be installed during the commonwealth's first year and maybe they will elect the "filipino cambodian royal" descendant of Norodom. Who knows? similar things also happened in the past(especially in europe). Just my wild guess and wild imagination hahahha
I Feel Bad for this Royal Love-Affair. One more thing that burdens me is this Colonizers that wiped out almost every Culture, Identity and Heritage of the Country they have been.
Very interesting, Kirby. A good revelation of our ancient history. The Philippines is, indeed, the most blessed, and GOD-cared-for, country in southeast asia. Thank you for this information.

Ayo im early! But can you talk about the Philippine (Luzon specifically if possible) Royal architectures like the Torogan of Maranao in a next video, so I would have references pls thanks!
Spanish accounts mentioned that Rajah Sulayman's house and as well as those of other elites were made of huge planks and posts of wood. It had been reported that Rajah Sulayman's home had many "rooms" and "comforts", it's also said to have contained many luxury items, such as jewelries, money, silks, and blankets that were made of expensive cloths. The furniture in Sulayman's home was also estimated to have been worth approximately 5,000 ducats. Another structure next to Rajah Sulayman's house was said to be a storage room where he kept cannons and large amounts of copper. One of the cannons was reported to have been approximately 17ft long. During the colonial period, Spanish and indigenous architecture merged together, and this gave rise to the "Bahay na Bato" of the colonial period which clearly has a unique and very distinctive appearance that isn't found in other Spanish colonies.
Watching from Florida,USA. I came upon this vlog while channel surfing, and oh ! my,I am so glad I did! What an informative piece and a beautifull history bit. I am going to binge watch your vlogs. You are a treasure indeed! May I ask if you are a full blooded Filipino? Also, are you a history major in higher education? Thanks for your answer.God bless.
This so good. First time to watch a video from your channel, will watch your other videos. I feel like I'm in a history class, your narration is spot on! I love how you use pictures here and the transitions for each of them.. people wouldn't get bored of just hearing stories or just by watching you tell it... they can actually visualize them. Kudos! It's engaging and so interesting. Thank you for the great content! 👍
I like history subjects but I never learnt this. Very interesting! Thanks, Kirby! Also, I must commend u r a good story teller of history. Though u talk too fast, clear pa rin ang dating sa akin. Kudos 2u!
what i wish you can dig out is one question that most filipinos take for granted, is how this spanish sounding names came about owning big parcel of lands here in the philippines
No, never heard in our philippine pre-colonial history in Philippines because of the issue of Philippine history books in DepEd. Did the OFW knows the first budget in the list na pinondo ng government?
Interesting. It's definitely taught nowadays, especially in private schools, but most of it focuses on pre-history (caveman times, especially the remains found in Cagayan and Palawan) along with things like anito, the manunggul jar, the Laguna Copperplate inscription, a brief mention of Baybayin, a few dieties from various ethnic groups, and trade with China and Arabia, plus Malaysia, Indonesia, Taiwan, and Japan. It's definitely lacking, but it's at least there now. Sadly, a lot of schoolbooks are outdated. Kahit na mas marami nang nasa curriculum, marami paring school na luma ang ginagamit na books. Yung high school nga namin bago lang nag-pandemic nakakuha ng bagong libro eh.
@@moondust2365 kailangan na lang mag tanong sa pinoy historian na perpective sa atin ng social studies at philippine government and politics diyan iyon gulo diyan na part.
Magtanong sa mga nakakatanda na ang kanilang karanasan noon ng Ferdinand Marcos Sr. administration kung wala sa mga aklat dahil revised ang sa public o palitan ang mga luma aklat.
I have visited Angkor Wat and other temples in Siem Reap and found it quite amazing while imagining what it was like during those ancient times. The bas reliefs on their temples depict a very sensual nature in their culture. Of course Angelina Jolie's Lara Croft:Tomb Raider movie made it more exciting and I did visit Ta Phrom where the iconic root-bound temple was located where they shot some movie scenes. Too bad Norodrom's religion specifically allowing someone many wives became a deterrent to his romance with Pepita, our beautiful filipina. How romantic indeed!
Cool chibi illustrations. Hope you sell merch someday or books of these videos illustrated in chibi with real life pics of the characters in the last page.
kimusta pu, as a kampanpangan ( from Sn .Fdo) that gave me more interest to visit The Kingdom of Cambodia n near by countries to go deeper very interested in History ( a score of 10 ) why well explained, ur audio visual is intetesting, as an interior designer ( i can even use this on my Humanties class) keep it up !
This is the first time I came across your channel. I wonder if you already have the story between Dimples and Gen. Douglas McArthur. 😉 More power to your channel.
thank you for this story, i also heard that a Khmer king offered a buffalo as a gift to a Filippino chieftain of which the origin of the Tagalog word "carabao" for the buffalo which is similar to the Khmer word "Krabai", is this story has any substance in the Philippino history?
My parents are both mix. My father is Cambodian, French, and African-American and in the other hand, my mother is Filipina and Spanish. 💖 But I'm glad to know more history about both countries.
Watch someone make a YA contemporary retelling!!! P.S. The fact that Pepita chose to stay Catholic instead of marrying a foreign king is one many female Catholic saints understood all too well. Sad that she died so young.
LMFAO! LOLZ! WE SUFFERED A LOT BECAUSE OF THIS DEMONIC CULT EMPIRE! AND TO THE COLONIAL MENTALITY THESE POWER HUNGRY DEMONS PROGRAMMED THE FILIPINOS.. WTF! WHO NEEDS WELFARE AND HEALTHCARE IF YOU GOT THE BIBLE AND JESSUS RIGHT?

@@aoikanzaki6578 yeah!yeah! yeah! And you can still not trust the doctors nowadays, instead of cure and getting well in hospitals in a very short period of time, you will get shocked by hearing the doctors diagnosis that your disease or illness developed into other form of problem, then will do anything to prolong your stay in hospitals to the point of sucking everything what's your wallet. Why not? Big pharmaceuticals are giving medical scholarships to those who wants to become doctors, and they owed it to these pharma, and pay their debt by administering their new meds that doesn't cure health problems... Everything is about business and money. Healthcare, welfare, religion my as...!🖕....
Nice to see a picture of the gift to the younger sister. Question, the picture of the garrotte; do you have details on who were those unfortunate ones who were executed?
I’m Cambodian and have never heard of this story. I also asked my family about this and they have never heard of this either. I also tried looking this up online and didn’t find any anything. Where did this story come from, if you don’t mind me asking?
It's kind of like unsaid trivia, but I also searched and found some sites explaining how the king Norodom l visited the country then fell inlove with pepita.
That's fantastic story. As a Cambodian myself I never heard about this story. Thank you for sharing this story about my history.

I just discover your channel and I also love to learn more about our history.
Can you also make a videos about the history of Moros? 💕
Watching from Florida,USA. I came upon this vlog while channel surfing, and oh ! my,I am so glad I did! What an informative piece and a beautifull history bit. I am going to binge watch your vlogs. You are a treasure indeed! May I ask if you are a full blooded Filipino? Also, are you a history major in higher education? Thanks for your answer.God bless.
My gosh..information overload about the Philippines...I LOVE IT!!!!!
Thank you! 🥳🥳🥳
Amazing! I love Cambodia 🇰🇭 this vlog makes me want to go back so bad
This is the best historical presentation I have seen. Excellent English, grammar and enunciation.
Thank you! 😊
This so good. First time to watch a video from your channel, will watch your other videos. I feel like I'm in a history class, your narration is spot on! I love how you use pictures here and the transitions for each of them.. people wouldn't get bored of just hearing stories or just by watching you tell it... they can actually visualize them. Kudos! It's engaging and so interesting. Thank you for the great content! 👍
You are a very adorable historian... 😊
Salamat! 😊😊😊
I like history subjects but I never learnt this. Very interesting! Thanks, Kirby! Also, I must commend u r a good story teller of history. Though u talk too fast, clear pa rin ang dating sa akin. Kudos 2u!
Salamat!
Thank you! Nice knowing the history of our people.
Absolutely excellent reportage of Philippines and neighboring Cambodia 🇰🇭
Thank you! :)
Someone needs to make a movie about this
From the King's name Norodom, the Royal House of Cambodia is followed to the King's name.
what i wish you can dig out is one question that most filipinos take for granted, is how this spanish sounding names came about owning big parcel of lands here in the philippines
No, never heard in our philippine pre-colonial history in Philippines because of the issue of Philippine history books in DepEd. Did the OFW knows the first budget in the list na pinondo ng government?
Interesting. It's definitely taught nowadays, especially in private schools, but most of it focuses on pre-history (caveman times, especially the remains found in Cagayan and Palawan) along with things like anito, the manunggul jar, the Laguna Copperplate inscription, a brief mention of Baybayin, a few dieties from various ethnic groups, and trade with China and Arabia, plus Malaysia, Indonesia, Taiwan, and Japan. It's definitely lacking, but it's at least there now.
Sadly, a lot of schoolbooks are outdated. Kahit na mas marami nang nasa curriculum, marami paring school na luma ang ginagamit na books. Yung high school nga namin bago lang nag-pandemic nakakuha ng bagong libro eh.
@@moondust2365 kailangan na lang mag tanong sa pinoy historian na perpective sa atin ng social studies at philippine government and politics diyan iyon gulo diyan na part.
Magtanong sa mga nakakatanda na ang kanilang karanasan noon ng Ferdinand Marcos Sr. administration kung wala sa mga aklat dahil revised ang sa public o palitan ang mga luma aklat.
@@moondust2365 subukan ninyo pumunta sa local museum o nayional museum. Pati diyan na mga monumento na mga statues diyan naka ukit ang mga pangalan.
Thank you for this Kirby! Interesting as always! Keep it up po!
You're my no. Channel..
Very educational and interesting!
Wow !!! what another amazing story.Thank you for sharing the deep knowledge of our history.
I have visited Angkor Wat and other temples in Siem Reap and found it quite amazing while imagining what it was like during those ancient times. The bas reliefs on their temples depict a very sensual nature in their culture. Of course Angelina Jolie's Lara Croft:Tomb Raider movie made it more exciting and I did visit Ta Phrom where the iconic root-bound temple was located where they shot some movie scenes. Too bad Norodrom's religion specifically allowing someone many wives became a deterrent to his romance with Pepita, our beautiful filipina. How romantic indeed!
nice story.. telling of our phil.hestory...God Bless...
Cool chibi illustrations. Hope you sell merch someday or books of these videos illustrated in chibi with real life pics of the characters in the last page.

Great story! Good to know👍
Half pinoy, half Cambodian here😁
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is the first time I came across your channel. I wonder if you already have the story between Dimples and Gen. Douglas McArthur. 😉 More power to your channel.
what about our dear Jose rizal with all his love relationships? and if he is really related to Hitler?
Excellent job Kirby.Keep up the good work of contributing a lot of knowledge to our people.Godbless.
A beautiful love story...
thank you for this story, i also heard that a Khmer king offered a buffalo as a gift to a Filippino chieftain of which the origin of the Tagalog word "carabao" for the buffalo which is similar to the Khmer word "Krabai", is this story has any substance in the Philippino history?
Thanks . What a good insight of history.
Ang cute po Ng illustration. Kayo po nag-draw? 😁😁😁😁
My parents are both mix. My father is Cambodian, French, and African-American and in the other hand, my mother is Filipina and Spanish. 💖 But I'm glad to know more history about both countries.
Thanks for sharing! 😊
Watch someone make a YA contemporary retelling!!!
P.S. The fact that Pepita chose to stay Catholic instead of marrying a foreign king is one many female Catholic saints understood all too well. Sad that she died so young.
LMFAO! LOLZ! WE SUFFERED A LOT BECAUSE OF THIS DEMONIC CULT EMPIRE! AND TO THE COLONIAL MENTALITY THESE POWER HUNGRY DEMONS PROGRAMMED THE FILIPINOS.. WTF!
WHO NEEDS WELFARE AND HEALTHCARE IF YOU GOT THE BIBLE AND JESSUS RIGHT?
@@evildisaster8149 and no wonder that the Philippines cannot afford telemedicine because of the traditional beliefs that doesn't make sense anymore, like being a religious person who doesn't rely to doctors because they have a stereotype that they only want money to people like WTF?! Nobody's taking care of you when you grow old or die in an illness. Religion my a**! 🖕
@@aoikanzaki6578 yeah!yeah! yeah! And you can still not trust the doctors nowadays, instead of cure and getting well in hospitals in a very short period of time, you will get shocked by hearing the doctors diagnosis that your disease or illness developed into other form of problem, then will do anything to prolong your stay in hospitals to the point of sucking everything what's your wallet. Why not? Big pharmaceuticals are giving medical scholarships to those who wants to become doctors, and they owed it to these pharma, and pay their debt by administering their new meds that doesn't cure health problems... Everything is about business and money. Healthcare, welfare, religion my as...!🖕....
Another great episode, master airbender Aang.
wish they make a movie out of this like Titanic (story started about the diamond necklace) if ever the gold necklace is found
Nice to see a picture of the gift to the younger sister.
Question, the picture of the garrotte; do you have details on who were those unfortunate ones who were executed?
Wow. I was rivetted watching this whole video
Hindi ko alam ito
Thank you for sharing this video. I am fascinated with history and this is very informative.
Thank you! 😊
Maybe Pepita realized that she loved the king after all as she never got married...and she waited for his return until the day she died..
You’re the very happiest blogger I watch,good job young man...I will give my thumb up & sub...
Thank you! I appreciate it 😊
Love your history teaching. Good that you relay it in English so that we can share it with others too. Thank you.
👍 more of this please.
Even before, Filipinos are hospitable.
Good job sir.thanks.
Netflix? Hi! I’d like a Bridgerton- esque series on this please!
Awesome 👏
Ayos kirby. We learn a lot.
I’m Cambodian and have never heard of this story. I also asked my family about this and they have never heard of this either. I also tried looking this up online and didn’t find any anything. Where did this story come from, if you don’t mind me asking?
It's kind of like unsaid trivia, but I also searched and found some sites explaining how the king Norodom l visited the country then fell inlove with pepita.
I've listed some sources in the video description :)
