Pinoy pride is something I imbued my children with even though they are only half. They know that it means to carry with dignity all the hardships and prejudice they experience because we are strong and will prevail. My apo is only a quarter and yet proudly identifies as Pinoy.
That’s so beautiful to hear! It’s amazing how you’ve passed on that sense of pride and resilience to your children and apo. It just goes to show that being Pinoy is so much more than blood-it’s about the values, strength, and identity we carry with us, no matter where we are or how we look. Salamat for sharing this!
Hello! 👋🏼 Thank you so much for sharing our history, especially all the way from South Texas! 🇵🇭🙏🏽 It’s amazing to see people like you and your wife keeping our culture alive. Salamat for being part of this journey! Hope to meet you both someday-and hopefully visit Texas soon!"
Thank you for sharing that! It’s incredible how understanding the history behind a word can shift perspectives. 'Pinoy' has such a rich and evolving story, and I’m glad it resonated with you. It’s all part of embracing our identity in a deeper way.
I’m so glad you had another 'aha' moment! Harana and kundiman are such beautiful parts of our culture, and I’d love to explore those topics more in the future. (P.S. The roots of the term 'kundiman' might blow your mind-it didn’t even start off as anything musical! 😄)
Thank you for educating Filipinos and non Filipinos in our culture through your videos Because of that we consider you also as a Pinoy Pride ! God bless and more power ❤️
Mayap a abak! Dakal a salamat king video ini. My family came from Pampanga and migrated to Washington and later on California. My grandfather made all that happened by being in the U. S. Army when he was a Philippines Scouts - U. S. Army. He got transferred to America long after WW2. My dad , his siblings, and grandma had to work in the farms to pick strawberries and etc back in the 1950s. They were second or third generation migrants to California. My grandma worked in the Salinas farm community for a long time for a canning company. I miss her a lot. She also built a church in Pampanga as a gift to the locals in her birth town. Being called "Filipino" ain't so bad. The American soldiers had racist terms like "Flip" & "GuGos" Or "Gago" In Tagalog to insult and degrade Filipinos. 😂. That's where the word "Gook" came from to insult the Vietnamese during the Vietnam War. The whole debate about what's a Filipino is annoying as a fuck to me. I'm a Californian and a U. S. Military vet. I'm American first. But I also grew up and lived in Pampanga for years as a child and went to school there. That's how I can speak, read, and write in Kapampangan and Tagalog at a basic level. All my childhood friends spoke 100% Kapampangan with my cousins in Maynila speaking Tagalog to me. So when I hear natives accuse Fil-Ams of not being real Filipinos because you have an American personality, well hey, I grew up in Luzon and was out in the streets in Pampanga and Manila socializing with the natives that I forgot I was American. I ate with my hands, used a tabo, have pekplats, walked bare foot or had on tsinelas, climb trees and ate bayabas, Cainitos, chased carabaos, flew kites, swam in sapas, or lakes, rode dyipneys and trikes, and all that as a child. I try to ignore the haters. I've noticed since 2016 in and out the Philippines that you have people who have an envious attitude. It's like that with Pinoys in America too. Looking down on Fil-Ams because they can't speak Ilocano, Visayan, Pangasinan, Cebuano, Kapampanganor or Tagalog. There's a common stereotype that Filipinos have a crab mentality ( we poke fun of that in Pampanga as "Taba talangka" attitude), spreading chismosa ( like Daniel Tirona from Cavite) , and "Utang na loob" toxic mindset. I see why that's a common stereotype like "Filipino Time". I've been coming in & out the Philippines since 2016 to now as an adult too...living here in the Philippines as an "expat". I may retire here since America is getting so expensive. You know you're proud to be Kapampangan when you go inside HAU in Angeles City just to check out the Kapampangan Studies Department and buy books there. I did that back in 2018 with my wife.
Mayap a abak! Dakal a salamat for sharing your story. I really resonate with the balance you’ve found between your Kapampangan roots and life in the U.S. The 'real Filipino' debate can be frustrating, but it's clear you’ve lived both cultures fully, and that’s what matters. Your family's history is inspiring, especially your grandpa's service and your grandma’s lasting legacy. Salamat for supporting Kapampangan culture and staying connected to your heritage! 💛
@@KirbyAraullo thank you sir coz I just confirmed it based from the story of my mother since I got the information in your #Kasmala video, your deep dive about the song of my Fav PPOP group #Alamat.
Love this it has helped me understand the history of the Philippines the country I love like my own and the home country of my beloved husband. Keep up the good work it it truly appreciated. Salamat sa yo!! ❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much for your kind words! It means a lot to know that my content resonates with viewers who appreciate the history and culture of the Philippines. Salamat din sa iyo! 🥰
I totally understand, 'Filo' doesn’t sit right with everyone. It's interesting how we all connect to these terms differently. 'Pinoy' carries so much history and pride, and I respect that you're standing by it! Ultimately, what matters most is how we choose to represent ourselves while also honoring our roots, wherever we are.
I'm from.los angeles California. Chicano and it surprises me how many people do not know the name of larry itliong he actually pushed ceasar Chavez to strike sooner. He was a vital role in the workers rights movement. But ceasar Chavez got the spotlight. I live in cebu now and am proud of what he did I love talking to pinoys about him.
Totally agree-Larry Itliong played such a crucial role in the labor movement, and it’s frustrating how often he’s overlooked. His work alongside Cesar Chavez was vital, and it's amazing you're sharing his story with others in Cebu! More people need to recognize the impact he had. Salamat for keeping his legacy alive! 🙌🏽
@KirbyAraullo I have 2 shirts I printed with ceasar Chavez and Larry itliong. I love to wear them and let filipinos know they have a reason to be proud of their fellow filipino larry.
Terms like Filo or Pinoy seem to serve diaspora better but the concept of an amalgamated national identity is not old and may discount the diversity that makes up this archipelago. The death of indigenous languages and culture in the Philippines is real. Filipino identity is more than just, tokenism, more than just Tagalog and more than just whatever is in Manila.
Thank you for bringing this up-it’s such an important reminder. The loss of indigenous languages and cultures in the Philippines is a serious issue, and it’s frustrating how often the diversity of our archipelago is overlooked. Our identities are so much more than the dominant narratives, and we really need to be critical of tokenism. We all have a responsibility to do better in truly honoring and protecting our roots, not just paying lip service to them. Salamat!
Wow! Invented pala abroad? I did not know that. Well, given how our the founding of our (unified) nation was international in nature (to put it 1 way), I guess, it shouldn't be too surprising even our terms are also international. That makes sense!

Please correct your post, "Tayo'y mga Pinoy" is by Heber Bartolome of the group Banyuhay from the 1970s!!! Not by Francis Magalona who would be turning in his grave at this injustice 😢 Please credit Heber properly. Thanks 🙏
Thank you so much for pointing that out! In my excitement to include the song, I overlooked the original composer 😬 I was more familiar with Francis M’s rap version from the 90s 😅. You’re absolutely right-'Tayo'y mga Pinoy' is by Heber Bartolome of Banyuhay from the 1970s. It’s too late to edit the video, but I’ll make sure to acknowledge Heber properly in the description. Salamat for keeping me in check!

Perhaps, let's not go with that. Yes, פלא ("pelé"; 「wonder/miracle」; Strongs H6382) & פנה ("pináh"; 「corner/bulwark」; H6438) exist in the Bible, but they're NEVER in the same verse. Besides, the Israel already has that claim cemented via MULTIPLE explicit verses, like Deuteronomy 7:6. Let's not compete. (We're NOT in the Bible!) Besides, look at all the trouble & massacres the Jews have endured for that designation. WHY should we even want that title?

Ang mga Español na ipinanganak sa Pilipinas ang tinawag na Filipino. Ang mga Castila ay ipinanganak sa Castilla, kaharian ni Reyna Isabella, naging lalawigan nang sakupin ni Isabella at ng asawang Fernando, hari ng Aragon, ang buong España. Kaya hindi maaaring tawaging Filipino ang Castila. Isa pa, kaunti at bihira ang mga Castila na nakarating sa Pilipinas. Dahil sila ang sumupil sa mga Muslim sa España, sila ang pinakabantog sa España at nagkamit ng pinakamainam na tungkulin sa kaharian, at sa mga sinakop sa America na higit na mayaman sa ginto at pilak. At higit na madaling marating kaysa Pilipinas. Kaya karamihan ng dumating sa Pilipinas ay mga Español, taga-España na hindi taga-Castila o mga Americano, Español na ipinanganak sa America, gaya ni Juan de Salcedo, na taga-Mexico o Nueva España. Kayabangan lamang nang inutos sa mga katutubo na tawagin silang Castila. At kung tutuusin, karamihan ng mga Español na nagpunta sa Pilipinas ay nautusan o napilitan lamang, hindi nagkusa. Kung hindi mga sundalo na pinapunta rito ng hari ng España, mga frayle na inatasan ng simbahan na maghanap ng mga magagawang catholico. At mga hampas-lupa at patapong Español na kinaladkad na maging tauhan sa mga barko. Sa tanang panahon ng Español, “indio” at hindi “Filipino” ang tawag sa mga katutubo. Si Jose Rizal at ang mga ilustrado ang nagsimulang tumuring sa mga sarili ng “Filipino” upang ipahiwatig na kapantay sila ng mga Español.

Adhering to Pilipino culture; that is it customs and traditions and the best way to achieve this is through the national language "Pilipino' or just ones local language. This is so coz throughout history a certain culture evolve into a successful society because of the richness and stability of its language. One good example is English and Spanish. So please you Pilipinos abroad stopped making all sorts of those libs bs for not needing to learn your Pilipino language. So when we say you don't really have it in you of the identity of a Pilipino before shout out your western lib bs please be quiet and ponder.

Hello kuya I'm from South Texas my wife is from Malolos Bulacan. I'm sharing the history of Filipino people 🇵🇭🙏

I always thought of "Pinoy" as a deregatory term for Filipinos. Now knowing its history, it changed me a lot.
Thank you for sharing that! It’s incredible how understanding the history behind a word can shift perspectives. 'Pinoy' has such a rich and evolving story, and I’m glad it resonated with you. It’s all part of embracing our identity in a deeper way.
Thanks for making this video. Many locals insist that PINOY is indigenous and at least a historian like you can clarify this.
Another "aha" moment for me. Maraming salamat Datu Kirby! Nga pala to add, can you also tell us about the harana and kundiman? Thank you.
I’m so glad you had another 'aha' moment! Harana and kundiman are such beautiful parts of our culture, and I’d love to explore those topics more in the future. (P.S. The roots of the term 'kundiman' might blow your mind-it didn’t even start off as anything musical! 😄)
@@KirbyAraullo whow! Now I am curious more than ever. Patiently waiting for my next learning. This channel is my classroom 😊😍
