  • if not for the Spaniards, there would not even be a Filipino nation to speak of... modern day Filipinos are product of the Spanish acculturation...i myself totally embrace the Spanish aspects of our Filipino identity including the names, values, language, food etc...to my Filipino brothers, just love who we are as a people...no need to adopt new cultures...we are unique that way

  • @TrueHonestHistory Sencillo, por la población, aunque haya varios millones de hispanohablantes, filipinas es un país superpoblado. había muchísimos más millones que no hablaban español. Fíjate que actualmente aproximadamente 3 millones de filipinos hispanohabalantes, filipinas actualmente es un país de 94 millones de habitantes. es decir, el porcentaje de hispanohablantes es muy bajo.

  • Otra contradicción: "El idioma de los antiguos colonizadores (el español) hoy vuelve a ganar hablantes, quizá porque hoy nadie lo está imponiendo".. Pero vamos a ver, no acaba usted de decir unos minutos antes (por medio del señor entrevistado) que "los españoles no enseñaron el español a los filipinos? En qué quedamos, ¿se negaron a enseñarlo, o lo impusieron? Aclárense.

  • @TrueHonestHistory La colonización española empezó en 1565 y lo de la educación fue en 1863, ahí tienes casi 300 años donde no se impuso el idioma, quedando relegada mayoritariamente en el área de Manila que era donde se concentraba los Españoles, en el resto de territorios el español era casi testimonial (estamos hablando de un archipielago de más de 7000 islas).

  • Otro mito: "Lo que no consiguió la dominación española en casi 400 años lo lograron los invasores norteamericanos en menos de 50". Afirmación errónea. Ni la educación pública ni la enseñanza de un idioma común existían en ningún país del mundo hasta el siglo XIX. Eso es un concepto moderno. Hay que entender el contexto histórico señor. El objetivo del gobierno español no fue "enseñar el español", pero ni en la península ni fuera de ella, hasta 1863 cuando se creó un sistema de educación pública.

  • Véase otra contradicción: si "el español era el idioma de las élites" y "nunca se extendió entre la población", como es que había "varios millones de hablantes de español en aquella época" (finales del siglo XIX) o más de "cuarenta publicaciones periódicas en castellano"? Si no se extendió el español, quien leía todos estos periódicos? Estas afirmaciones se caen por su propio peso. Cuestionémonos un poco estos mitos sobre la historia de Filipinas.

  • Algunas imprecisiones en este video, fruto sobre todo de los mitos sobre la historia de Filipinas. Por ejemplo esta contradicción: "Aunque el español nunca se extendió entre la población [...] los primeros nacionalistas como Jose Rizal escribieron sus obras en español". Si es verdad que el español no se extendió ¿porque Rizal y los demás nacionalistas usaron el español en sus obras? ¿No querían que las leyera nadie?

  • Filipinos are more Hispanic and Malay than American in spirit.

  • thanks to this language, i am earning higher (triple) than i used to when i was just an agent for an english account.

  • ang nagpapahirap sa atin ngaun ay mga intsik mga amerikano at mga kurakot na mga pilipinong nasa gobyerno..pagaralan nyo mabuti ang kasaysayan at makikita nyo na ang mga kastila ang humubog sa atin upang maging isang bansa tayo..oo may pangaabuso mula sa iilang kastila pero mas malaking kabutihan at malaking kaunlaran ang naibigay sa atin ng mga kastila...ang maging kristiyano lang ay napakalaking kayamanan na pamana sa atin ng kastila yan..

  • @andrewoisky Tama ka na naman!

  • ang tatanga nyo kung hindi tayo humiwalay sa mga kastila dapat mas maunlad tayo ngaun at wala sanang nagbubukirat na pinay sa mga internet..mas naniniwala pa kayo kay jose rizal at andres bonifacio..

  • @UmbraGeist That's assuming we didn't have any of our own in the first place. And nowadays, christianity is a world religion, even if the Spanish didn't come, it's very possible it would've came from the Americans, just look at South Korea's christian population. Even Nagasaki in Japan is known for having many Japanese catholics, and who said we ever needed to be colonized to be christians in the first place? That's actually not how it started :P

  • If Spanish is a symbol of oppression today among Filipinos, then why do we still carry the name Filipino and still practice all that are hispanic (in religion, culinary, language etc). 

  • @beatbstrdz simple, because our ancestors were so opressed, they did'nt had the time and the right to develop their own identity, because if they did, spaniards would likely just kill them..

  • @halashet to all spanish/white wannabe filipinos......reality check pls....you aint white!stop this delusions!

  • @halashet "aint" lol...are you a wanna be african american southerner? stop contradicting yourself dude. pick up a text book and maybe you'll actually learn something more concrete.

  • @halashet In The Philippine- American War (1898-1910), died little more than 1000000 of civilians, in the villages that supported the rebels, all men over 14 were shot by the invaders and the paradox is that the language of the oppressor U.S., was imposed in the Philippines by force.

  • @luisdiego29 you forget the pacification program (1902–1913) following the declaration of victory in the war. One estimate of total Filipino deaths is as high as 1.5 million. In 15 years, Americans killed more Filipinos that spanish in 3 centuries. But the Spanish are "bad guys". It's obvious that the American propaganda did a good job in the Philippines.

    Of course, does not include deaths caused by the puppet governments imposed by the Americans the next few years (such as Ferdinand Marcos)

  • @InvictusSolDeus It is very true friend, unfortunately the Philippines and Latin America, they were a victim of the ambition and violence of Americans, it was simply a change of master, the Spanish master was tyrannical and abusive, but the American occupation was bloody and criminal. But all that must be left behind, we must now deal with them (U.S. and European Union) and not as master and servant, but as equals.

  • @halashet Get it out of your head that the Spanish completely blanketed the Philippines with troops and their writ of law extended to every single inch of Philippine terrain. In fact, the Spanish were confined to mainly a handful of towns and cities– probably 80% of them lived in Manila. After the Conquest, most Spanish in the Philippines were missionaries, and their idea of “conquest” was religious conversion. Except the religious, they weren't very interested in changing cultural aspects.

  • @halashet "The Spaniards would kill them?" You've read too much propaganda and seen too many movies. And what do you mean "they didnt have time to develop their own identity"? You don't need "time" to develop an identity. It comes naturally with customs, language, beliefs. Filipinos DID develop their own identity: a beautiful, unique blend of Southeast Asian, Spanish, and Chinese and even American culture, which today defines FILIPINO. Be proud about it. And stop cursing the past.

  • @beatbstrdz Unfortunately, in Philippines it is customary to relate to Spain and the 300 years of settling , with backwardness and oppression (legend encouraged by the United States policy ), but everyone is forgetting the 50 years of oppression of Americans in the islands, and the death of the majority of Spanish speakers.

  • @luisdiego29

    You make an excellent point when you mentioned;

    "........but everyone is forgetting the 50 years of oppression of Americans in the islands, and the death of the majority of Spanish speakers."

  • @TheLuminAir I totally understand, it is often best forgotten, is a way of looking at the future without trauma, although it is somewhat dangerous, because the story that one forgets can happen again.

  • @beatbstrdz Old colonial pangs, but still you guys are considerably better off, well culturally than most of the Americas heck you guys still speak your native tongues, still decolonization takes a long time

  • People like ENGR is a brainwashed Hispanic wannabe, ok so you're saying we were nothing without Spanish, so what? They didn't colonize anyone? You're splitting hairs, WE DIDNT NEED THE SPANISH FOR ANYTHING IDIOT.

  • because they were illustrados, which were'nt a lot during those times..anyway go ahead. speak spanish for all i care..

  • @halashet And the United States? How did they help your country? Hell most of the soldiers who went there were veterans of the Indian Wars, so innocent blood was already on their hands

  • @Sasuke7760878 americans were like the spanish, only they were more vicious and more racist.. as much as 3 million filipinos died defenseless in their hands,.. i merely speak english because a lot of the comments are in english and our school curriculum requires us to speak this language, regardless,.im not an advocate of the american way and i hated the way they massacred our people..

  • @halashet why do you such great animosity against Spain and Americans. It's 2011 not 1800's lol. Besides you are making your self look like a fool by having such hate on Americans yet you're typing in English and on youtube...LOL typical Filipino hypocrate

  • @beatbstrdz that two countries never apologized for their atrocities, which means they might do the same things they had done in the past since they are not sorry..anyway i wont expect regrets from evil people since they have no souls to begin with, they think that oppressing people is just ok...fuck white supremacy...and regarding my english,.. as i said in my previous post we are taught to speak this language..

  • @halashet

    What is Asian root please explain?

  • @beatbstrdz we are geneticaly asians, a lot from malaysia, some from indonesia, and some from china,.

  • @halashet Who is we? Well my friend, the term Asian is not a race or ethnicity, but a geographical one, so how are Filipino genetically Asian.

  • @beatbstrdz And what about the Negrito, Aetas, Agta are they genetically Asians? They're Filipinos too.

  • @beatbstrdz their ancestors came from asia,. do i need to site their origins one by one..? anyways if you like to kiss white men's ass as mainstream filipinos do.. pls dont drag those who dont along with you..intiendes?

  • @halashet If we trace our ancestor we would find that we all came from Africa. And that is backed up by DNA studies. But even so, would you still claim you are African? Ofcourse not. You can be proud of your roots, with out sounding like youre just talking out of your ass and uneducated.

  • @beatbstrdz ofcourse i am not african, because philippines is in the continent of asia, so therefore i am asian..and i am not talking from my ass, i am plainly posting my coments in response with the video.. call it uneducated if you will, but i have the right to opinions..however, i think it was sentimental of me to post such comment because i was motivated by emotions..if you like to be white, then go ahead im not stoping you,..besides you will be the only one who will be laughed at.

  • @halashet But since asians came from africa, then you must be african, that is you're logic--thats what your saying on your post...lol. and when you say you are asian, what are you identifying yourself as..hmmm a chinese, thai, vietnamese, pakistan, Indian, uzbek? Asia has a very diverse culture and ethnicities. asian can even be white or caucasian? hahaha! dude geography and culture is 2 different thing. yes you do have right of your opinion, nobody saying you dont you just love democracy.

  • my post was meant to encourage filipinos to uphold the culture & values of our ancestors not the self degrading attitude spanish colonizers instilled upon us.,our bayanihan spirit, love of nature and hospitality is becoming extinct because we openly welcome the culture of the west, which in my opinion is severely immoral..our ancestors fought against the tyrants for the sake of their descendants, but it is saddening that filipinos now would rather choose the white culture,.this is what i mean.

  • @beatbstrdz my post was meant to encourage filipinos to uphold the culture & values of our ancestors not the self degrading attitude spanish colonizers instilled upon us.,our bayanihan spirit, love of nature and hospitality is becoming extinct because we openly welcome the culture of the west, which in my opinion is severely immoral..our ancestors fought against the tyrants for the sake of their descendants, but it is saddening that filipinos now would rather choose the white culture,.

  • @halashet no...they made our land a Nation...in other words...Spain made our country...Filipinas... and its natives as filipinos...and opened our country to the eyes of the world..

    KNOW YOUR HISTORY my dear...the americans proposed the "black legend" thats why you think bad for your spanish roots!! OK? know your history!

  • Latin America is poorer than us? LOL Mexico and Brazil have better economies than we do.

  • Spanish was already widely used in the Philippines before the US occupied the country. They halted Spanish by shoving their English and American culture to the Filipinos and now 2011, Spanish has invaded the US with 40 million native speakers and the most preferred foreign language in American schools. Barack Obama even encourages young people to learn it. What's stopping the Filipinos? hatred towards Spain? it's the 21st century. MOVE ON!

  • spaniards hated us, its their fault why majority of filipinos dont speeak spanish because in their eyes, filipinos are not worthy of the spanish language, the reason why they did not teach the filipinos spanish lingo,. they called us indio remember, if they hated us that much, then maybe we should hate them back..

  • i dont see the relevance of learning spanish again, its the symbol of oppression for us filipinos, and spanish is no longer a super power, if theres any language filipinos need to learn, thats chinese, because ethnic chinese and filipinos with chinese background far exceeds those who are of spanish descent..and, furthermore, majority of goods in the philippines are made in china..so filipinos need to know what they are buying..

  • @halashet really? its that why it is the second language widely spoken in the world? and 40 million in the US speaks it? and Oppression? is that why many Filipinos go to Spain for work? Oppression? you ean brainwashed and wiped out Hispanic-Filipino legacy perpeprated by the Americans to impose their American culture and English when in fact The Philippines already has an existing Hispano-Filipino culture. The US made the Filipinos hate the Spaniards by proclaiming themselves as Messiah.

  • @halashet At least it wasn't the British ... jks. In my opinion I think it would be a great idea for Spanish to be taught :) Many Filipinos are practicing Catholics and many of the traditions r from Spain and the constitution is in Spanish. If the Philippines speak Spanish this will open up relationships Latin America, Europe and possibly. If Spanish was a symbol of Oppression then Mexicans would too but look their still speaking it.

  • @TheProjectblah Exactly. Filipinos are so brainwashed by the Black Legend. The US re-written the Philippine history by making themselves the good guys and painting the Spaniards the bad guys. The Spaniards have built the country by building bridges, churches and schools. Spanish is widely spoken around the world. It is time that the Philippines takes this opportunity as a tool in enhancing the future.

  • @TheProjectblah why should we open up relationship with latin america? haler..feeling ko nga eh mas poor pa sila sa atin...what are you trying to imply? that we should establish an association of third world countries..hahaha!joke lang..

  • @halashet Mexico is bloody rich it has a good economy even with its poverty. In the united states has many spanish speakers the point you could consider it a second language. China wants to open relations with Brazil because of its portuguese speaking macau and Brazil is a developing country. The Philippines is developing but countries still trade. Latin countries may be poor but they have resources and the Philippines would have recognition in Latin America or possibly the EU

  • @TheProjectblah really? thats cool..brazilian guys are hawt!, especially the mestizos..hahaha..yun lang ang nakikita kong magandang prospect if ever nga maestablish yang relationship ekek na yan..hahaha!!jowk again..ui, you might get offended ha. are you filipino or latin american?

  • @halashet but the Philippines is a part of the Latin union but the philippines dont speak a latin language so its weird. Plus if the Philippines speak spanish many workers from Latin America will come and work in the Philippines gusto mo ng Latino boyfriend jks jajaja. I'm Australian :)

  • @TheProjectblah there are a lot of brazillian models here in the philippines,.and they are all hawt..hahaha daniel matsunaga is one of them, though he is half japanese..yeah i like latinos especially the mixed ones coz they have bodies chiseled by the gods,.charut..tapos malaki p ung kanilang...hahaha!
