LA BELLA FILIPINA (Spanish Lyrics)- Guillermo Gomez Rivera

[Southland27]

Was being part of the Spanish empire really beneficial to the people of the Philippines? Being part of someone elses empire isn't always a good thing, but from what I see Filipinos would have been better off under British rule. They wouldn't have forced you to change your religion or customs and would have allowed the natives some autonomy, and protection under British style rule of law. Although not a British colony, but a protectorate, Hawaii is still happy with it's British associations.

[godam999]

A nonsense? More than one million Filipinos killed by the Yankees in a few years? The Old City of Manila and its monuments destroyed by American bombing during the Second World War? That was much worse than 300 years of Spanish colonization.

[philclassic]

@godam999: My own home town and city of Caloocan was a victim of the 'Yankees' reign of terror in 1899 when almost all the inhabitants of this city was massacred without mercy by them. They also destroyed much of what was Caloocan City then leaving only the centuries old church which still stands even today (now the San Roque Cathedral of the Diocese of Caloocan).

@philclassic

The Filipinos were betrayed by the Yankees. Spain could not much longer maintain the colonies and would have had to leave the Philippines anyway. The intervention of the United States was a bloodbath, delayed several decades thef independence of this country and created puppet governments.

[philclassic]

Please do not post RACIST remarks. I shall block anyone who will do so. Salamat po!

[godam999]

Filipinos, you are more Hispanics than you can ever Hispanic suspect. Infortunatelly, the history and The United States have separated the common core to which you belong.

Very beautiful song.

Vosotros filipinos sois más hispánicos de lo que podéis sospechar. Lástima que la historia y los Estados Unidos os hayan separado del tronco común al que pertenecéis.

Muy bella canción.

[philclassic]

@godam999 :Yes, after 300 years under Spain thru Mexico. But Filipinos nowadays prefers to be "American" than "Hispanic".

[JD55000]

@godam999

No,No,No..Stop it.

your nonsense

[Mangkukutod]

@godam999 But we are still Asians. Asians with a westernized culture.

[curubito]

Im still remember when i was a child my Grand Mom from my Dad's side was playing Spanish music although i can't understand but it was nice then my Mom played the music Kundiman, correct me if im wrong the LUMANG SIMBAHAN even my Dad and my Grand Mom they wasn't understand but this music is very beautiful in my ears!

I remember this tune as an introductory music in the Eddie Ilarde's program Kahapon Lamang.....

[nancyfloressantos]

[Jpprincesa]

Tenemos que crear un grupo de hispanohablantes de Filipinas. Este es el tiempo para promover la usa de un idioma que es parte de nuestra herencia.

[BoracayADMIRER]

I want to learn Spanish now.

[jayjay909845]

Love it

[handsomepianist]

Photographers of yesteryears, before the digicam, have a way of making still picture alive even if it is in sepia color and the absence of digital special effects of today. I'm amazed you have this picture collections, moreso the music.

[philclassic]

Halos walang sinabi ang mga digital camera sa mga sinaunang mga larawan kuha sa camera noong 1900's. Ganoon din sa musika, hindi mapapantayan ang ganda ng melodiya o himig ng orihinal na awitinng Filipino.

[ContessaDeAvila]

Wow! Excelente trabajo señor PhilClassic! Muchisimas gracias por tus esfuerzos, preservando nuestra cultura filipina. Maraming salamat sa lahat na ginagawa niyo po para preserbahan ang ating kulturang pilipino,

[philclassic]

You're all welcome...

There was a typo.. at 1:27, the correct Spanish word is "AMA" but I wrote "ALMA" instead. My apologies...

[philclassic]

Many thanks to Alfonso 'Fonsucu' Velázquez for the correction. Maybe I should repost the video with the correct lyrics...what do you think? But all the previous comments would be lost...

[ContessaDeAvila]

Its ok. Hindi na po kailangan repost. Ilagay niyo na lang po kaya sa side description niyo.

[philclassic]

Maraming salamat muli. Sinunod ko na ang payo ninyo.

[Dogaradodia]

Certificado Intergaláctica! Yo soy los ojos llorosos. Me trae recuerdos. Gracias! Hu, hu, hu ...

[302acr43]

Kahanga-hanga ka Kabayan.

Ang unang nakita ko sa channel mo ay ang maingat na pagbibigay informasyon sa likod nang bawat awitin. Ang malinis na larawan.

Sigurado ako. HIndi lamang ako ang nagpapasalamat sa iyo nang lubos-lubusan sa ginagawa mong patuloy na pagsaliksik sa atin nakaraan sa pamamagitan nang musika.

Maraming Salamat din, kay ContessaDeAvila sa pagbibigay daan para sa karagdagan kaalaman.

Sana. Marami pang kasunod. Para sa susunod pang henerasyon nang lahing Filipino!
