if only the japs didnt invade manila, its probably like or more than hongkong today + lots of pretty chicks because of the mixed with spanish and american .. damn japs
@tawak11 I don't understand that. Japan invaded and occupied Hong Kong too. In fact they were there, in Hong Kong, for longer than they were in Manilla. The Philipines was unfortunately, colonised twice - and sold for a bargain to America like a whore in 1898. Only Japan and Thailand avoided the colonization of Europe or in China's case, the control of all key ports and industry. Don't blame Japan for wrecking the Philippines. America's Vietnam adventure didn't help em either
@djcanuto0500 Holy shit! Yes, they did. The Battle of Manilla, Feb 1945, the Americans heavily bombed the city and the Japanese marines under Iwabuchi, who defied orders to retreat, did the rest. A massacre. Second most destroyed city in ww2. Of course, I can't imagine the hell that created, but the comment about the prospect of a generation of beautiful American and Spanish mixed babies being denied by the Japanese occupation, unlike Hong Kong, I think warrants my point.
@migsluck1 Sadly, many are not like you. When I meet a philo the first thing they tell me is that they're 25%,50%,75% of whatever Spanish mixed they are.
@Microglia1 That's what happens in a country whose racial/cultural/national identity has been stripped from them through colonization. The country goes through a period of confusion and economic meltdown. Like bastard orphaned children looking for their past. A harsh parallel but it's the truth. The Philippines will rebound in time and I know this. Hopefully, we'll go as far as to changing our name. We are not Spanish and King Philip no longer owns us. My country will rise again.
@migsluck1 I think it's important to have a cultural consciousness that you have. As you know, the Phillipines is set up just like any other Hispanic country, the mixed ones like Imelda Marcos run the show. Everyone else wants to be like them so they won't start revolutions for a new regime. Then, there's a foreign power always meddling in internal affairs-Spain, Japan, USA, etc..I hope people like you have tons of children so a better Phillipines can emerge.
i adore to the old Filipinos who use to talked PURE TAGALOG WITHOUT USING ENGLISH OR SPANISH. and i amazed to the filipinas who wore filipiniana dress before. haiist! past is past we can't bring that back again. lovely PHILIPPINES before but AWFUL PHILIPPINES TODAY :-( sa nkikita k ngaun wla ng pag asa ang pilipinas! klngan ata kumilos ng mga PARAK eh pra itumba lang ung mga nsa gbyerno!
The American Commonwealth of the Philippines, Manuel Quezon should had pushed the Philippines to become a US state or territory so the Americans can help develop the infrastructure and industries. The Americans already had blue prints on how the cities were going to be planned and was already beginning to develop the industries in the Philippines, especially natural resources. We should had asked for independence when we were ready, with infrastructure, industry and educated in how to govern.

@jmdarcega How really? When 40% of the population is in poverty and the economy relies on sending Filipino overseas to work on terrible jobs just so they can send money to their families back home?
Please, I'd take Commonwealth era Philippines over the Third Philippine Republic with its stupid 1987 Constitution.
@Archangelicque The only reason why its in a impoverish state is because foreign corporations are taking the Philippines natural resources even agriculture land. The common people can't compete cause of that. Those foreign corporations usually pay off there politicians so they don't make laws that prevents them from doing it. This politicians don't care really if the people are poor and are suffering cause all they want is money from the International Banks.
I mean just look at how orderly everything is, and how modestly dressed everyone, the rich and the poor, are. Even the orphans had good treatment from foreign nuns who educated them (Math, Science, Foreign Languages, etc) and thought them how to become dignified ladies and eventually enter nunhood.
@molbioatako It's no more racist than the promoters of Philippine TV Personalities both present and former. Now I've been away for a good long while, and I don't subscribe to TFC on cable, so I can only cite ladies known to me from years ago. Without the Spanish, would we have:
Cheska Garcia, Regine Velasquez, Charlene Gonzales (saw her around UST, student days), or Ruffa Gutierrez?
@molbioatako WTF? Who are you to say which kind of people are "needed" or not in any society? Do you hate mestizos? Are you one of those brown supremacists? FYI our earliest ancestors were FROM AFRICA. That you're NOT BLACK today shows that you're NOT PURE in any imaginable way either. Whether you like it or not, you're a mix, coming from many people coming from many places, so don't you dare say "But do we need them?". Ang kapal mo!
Clearly, you do not get my point. I never said anything about purity and I know that the 'mitochondrial eve' came from Africa. Let me get back to my first statement. It is racist to claim that Manila's most beautiful women are those with Spanish blood. When I asked if 'we need them' I was referring to those actresses you have enumerated. Do we need them to make society function? Your reactions are out of context my dear. But I am not surprised. UST?
@molbioatako >"It is racist to claim that Manila's most beautiful women are those with Spanish blood."
You're confusing Ethnocentrism for Racism. That's a white guy narrating the white-made footage for white audiences in the 1930s. If their tastes lean more towards Charlene Gonzales rather than Gladys Dueñas, who are we to disagree?
Silly point in asking if said actresses are needed in society at all. Questions of "Social Utility" would be just as stupid as notions of Racial Superiority.
@molbioatako Key differences. Spanish and Filipino are nationality, not a race. What you call a race is those people being caucasian, negro and some things like that.
@jbislove08 ~It's ethnocentric, not racist. An accurate example of racism is a black guy staying away from the white or VV. Also, whether you like it or not, not all Filipinos who aren't mixed with Spanish blood are ugly. Try walking around Libis, Baywalk, SM Mall of Asia, Universities and other crowded places. You can't avoid seeing a pretty pure Filipina that never had any Spanish blood from her ancestry. There's no such thing as ethnic/race supremacy btw.

@TheAaronJAno So you really think in your mediocre life right now, you actually believe you are free? The media dictates your opinion, is that freedom? the poor are marginalized and deprived of their basic needs, is that freedom? you have to work abroad in order to sustain ur family, is that freedom?
hell, id rather be occupied by decent and intelligent foreigners than be bastardized by your own race's elites....and then, when were intelligent enough, ask declare independence...

@ascano107 yep tama kayo jan ser..iba ang pinoy kasi talaga..dapat mapag-usapan ng mga filipino kung ano talaga tayo, define natin ang sarili natin NOW na. then we can move on step by step into realizing our full identity....start tayo sa pag-kilala at pag-accept ng heritage natin, gusto man natin itong heritage or not...and that includes the european blood unwantedly infused in our lineages...
oh my god what happened to my country now? filled with stupid teenagers wearing hoodies with the colours of the flag and rapping? I'm 15 but I HATE that.
i remembered visitng Hospicio de San Jose way back 1994, looks like nothing has changed so much of the establishment since the 30's. The corridor where young girls are shown sewing is the same corridor i've seen 54 years after 1930's.
The Philippines was one of the richest places in Asia under Spanish rule.
Free education for all subjects with government schools built even in the smallest of villages, all kinds of modern infrastructures such as marine ports, trains, trams, suspension bridges, etc, and it was not even the 20th century.
All that changed drastically with the US annexation and the massacring of more than 10% of the population.
"When discovered. most of the tribes (in the Philippine Archipelago) were a race of half-naked savages, inferior to all the great tribes, who were pushing, at the same time, an active commerce, and enjoying a respectable share of the necessaries and comforts of a civilized state. Upon the whole, they are at present superior in almost everything to any of the other races."
That's from John Crawfurd, British colonial administrator in Malaysia
@RafaelMinuesa All I can infer from that is that said "tribes" (avoiding the old and inaccurate references to "race") could be considered "rich". What an environment (Philippines/Archipelago) has in the means of natural resources is just that, "resources", or a potential richness. Valuation to infer richness or poorness is a purely human exercise. e.g., You might have cliffs made of gold, but without people to exploit it, you can't call the place "rich".
Agreed. But still, tell me of a fairer way to evaluate "richness" than comparing the Philippines with its neighbours, which were superior in terms of "richness",
That's the British administrator of Malaysia: "Upon the whole, they are at present superior in almost everything to any of the other races", and that was the Philippines during Spanish colonial times
@RafaelMinuesa >"But still, tell me of a fairer way to evaluate 'richness'"
I must ask, is it fair to try and "evaluate richness" in the first place? To what end? To place blame for the apparent loss of such? Recriminations will get you nowhere. Even today there are those who would plunder and steal from their own, no Kastilas required.
And I must also question the credibility and capability of a British Administrator in Colonial Times. Nobody then had the resources to fully map out such data.
To me it is a way of comparing systems. No system is perfect, but some are, let's say, less harmful than others.
It wasn't only the British administrator of Malaysia. John Bowring, (Governor General of British Hong Kong from 1856 to 1860), wrote that::
"Credit is certainly due to Spain for having bettered the condition of a people who, though comparatively highly civilized, yet being continually distracted by petty wars, had sunk into a disordered and uncultivated state."
@RafaelMinuesa >"It wasn't only the British administrator of Malaysia."
it wasn't his credibility of being an "administrator" at Malaysia looking-in to the Philippines I was questioning. Before the character-limit cut me off, I was expressing doubts about the validity of "British"-assessed anything at the time. Despite their status as World Power then, it was still the 19th Century, where data flaws would be evident relative to today's even-collegiate standards of research.
It should be a "must" to preserve footage like this. I agree that Filipinos should learn to embrace the past. I hate to say this but I just don't want to hear people in this generation to see culture as something you only showcase during Buwan ng Wika or worst Araw ng Wika... I wish for the Filipinos to embrace this colorful culture. :)
What they did in 65 Years - Triangle de Amore - Jose Rizal - are you Filipinos ? Or Devils ? Spain - America - Asia - es el Triangle de Amore - you don't need Love - go to Hell !!! Daddy Frank - Free Childs of God -
I'm so proud to be tagalog and ilocano (I don't care about the rest of the country as much) (a 1/8 tagalog, 1/8 ilocano) even though the rest is Spanish xD.
filipinos gotta stop being insecure and accept the fact that our country sucks atm. as a result, idiots think the race is sucky too. if you argue with an idiot, you go lower than an idiot.
Fillipinas jamas debio apartarse de su origen Hispano, si se hubiera mantenido siendo territorio Español seria hoy en dia mas hermosa y la mas Europeisada de Asia. Los Americanos viniernon solo a confundir culturalmente a los Filipinos y lo unico que les importo de las Filipinas fue su ubicacion militarmente estrategica. Que desgracia tan grande fue para todosel año de 1898. Filipinas Hispana para siempre.....
you make half-american kid,half-Chinese kid,half-Korean kid,half-German kid and etc. watch a vid of Filipino kids living and surviving in the slums and garbage areas,half of them giggles,half were dumbfounded,all half-Japanese kids in tears!
@ihpots: 2 thumbs up! I so totally agree with you! Filipino race is unique on its own!
Sadly, not many of us could appreciate our race! I share my dream with all the Filipinos that one day, we will rise from the ashes and that time will come if we only think that we are Filipinos ourselves!
They purposely destroyed Intramuros. They wanted to erase the entire Spanish heritage from Manila and throughout Philippines. Intramuros remembered too well Spanish Philippines, they bombed Intramuros, destroyed not only buildings, but killed all who lived there, al of them Spanishspeaking people ... I do not know how Filipinos feel today, but I do hate the Americans for that.
bat naman ganun ung narrator. kawawa naman ung kalabaw, sinabihan ng uglier version compared to its other asian brothers. astig kaya ng itsura ng kalabaw. and i have to disagree na more beautiful ung mga babaeng may lahing spanish. filipinas with no western or chinese blood have their own distinct beauty.
bat ganun ung hospicio de san jose, ung turning wheel. may agreement na pala with the sisters pero bakit ilalagay pa ung baby sa wheel, pwede naman iabot ng maayos sa mag aalaga. weird.
I think the way for us to go forward is to learn our history. People in the gov't keep on saying math,science & technology should be taught more in our schools but I think the young generation hould know more about our history,the sacrifices and struggles of our ancestors not only against foreign invaders but against oppresive dictator like marcos. meybe thru this we can instill national pride in the hearts of the young and they would value what being pinoy is all about
I see people in the Philippines saying that they don't have any traces of Spanish or Chinese heritage, because they are 100% Filipinos, when in fact being 100% Filipino means exactly that, a mixture of all races and cultures that are part of their past.
It's a known fact in biology that crossbreeding does produce stronger and smarter individuals and Filipinos have had several generations of selective crossbreeding.
i beg to disagree, we're pretty much the same with our Indonesian neighbors which were conquered by the Netherlands and Portugal with infusions of Chinese people.
The issue on the "NEW RACE", i do believe you'd open another RACISM issue here.
@GUAKINILLO lolz!Filipinos are inferior to Americans who calls them grass-eating monkeys!Filipinos works hard and save so they can buy American brands,too bad it's now made in China.
@GUAKINILLO what, now how did the USA got into to this? what I was saying that what makes the Filipinos unique is much more than the superficial cross breeding with the other races.
I'd hate to say but a lot of you pinoys (here in the PH and in abroad) does have this distorted view on patriotism and nationalism. Trying hard to be proud on a country which i bet a lot of you would like to emigrate out.
@ihp0ts eh that would actually do more harm than good...it's a colonial mentality that truthfully is an immature way of thinking. why should people care so much about superficial things such as bloodlines and skin color? what makes a person are their accomplishments, not their appearance or blood.
@ihp0ts your new soul will be Japanese,half of Cebu is now owned by the Japanese so as the most exclusive villages in Manila and Quezon City are now owned by their wives!
yay!
lmao!
most businesses,too.next generation will be their kids running the Philippines!yay!let's kick 'dem other foreign bloods out the Philippine soil!for only the Filipino kids with Japanese bloods love the Philippines!
@ihp0ts The "cancer" that Dr. Jose Rizal describes, which came from Spanish influence by the way is still very very much alive in the form of the ruling class. The Hacienderos who own lands as far as the eye can see, and the greedy politicians (many of whom are hacienderos). The landlords and people who toil in their lands are living in a system that existed in the middle ages. The only way to regain the soul is to remove the cancer which was stuck to us by the spaniards.
After reading so much BS you have made my day and I thank you for that.
Now I believe that there's hope for Filipinos. Be proud of what you are, of that beautiful mixture of Asian, Pacific and European genes and don't let anybody make you feel ashamed of that heritage. That's the game of the ignorant racists, be proud and they will never win.
@ihp0ts I agree with you except there is only one human race. Culture and race are different. I think what you mean is FILIPINO NATION which consists of many cultures and ethnic groups, including some who are citizens of other countries. I think what you are talking about is a national identity whether they be "pilipino-looking", mestizo, chinese, cebuano, tausog, tagalog, Muslim or whatever.
@ihp0ts I think you're forgetting the part when our forefathers fought for independence, so I'm just gonna say this- the only blood I claim is Filipino blood.
@ihp0ts Not those of Spanish decent, because claiming such blood is a spit to our Lapu Lapu's face who fought and shed blood to rid our country of foreign invaders.
@boipinoi604 If a woman gives birth to a child by a rapist, can that child betray the blood of his father, when in his veins runs his blood?
Sure Lapu-lapu is admirable for defeating Magellan. But our race cannot move on if everyday, we scorn our lineage...Sure the spaniards oppressed us, but only because we let them. and we let them for 300 hundred years...thats like more than 6 generations of rape and/or inter-racial marriage...
whatever notion of pure Malay blood is totally gone...
@boipinoi604 see, the problem is your MINDSET, like any other uneducated pinoy. and what burst ur bubble??? wth...mali ang impression mo sa comments ko dahil limited ka lang sa mangmang mong utak.
go out, punta ka sa mall, and tell me...mukha ba tayong Malaysians, Indonesians, Singaporeans, Vietnamese, Thailander, Chinese, Pacific Islanders???
My answer is NO, dahil halo-halo na ang dugo natin and u cant really tell...lalo na pag nasa abroad ka na..hindi nila alam ang lahi mo... tsk tsk
@ihp0ts Yes, that's correct, if you think there is a significant amount of Spanish-ethnicity in the make up of the Philippine demography, then you my friend is dreaming. But my mindset is fine, I tell people that I am 100% Filipino without adding the nonsense of this blood or that blood. And as far as I'm concern with visiting the mall, I would definitely like to visit the biggest mall in Asia one day.
@boipinoi604 your rhetoric only proves your vigilance towards subjects you want to pick on to. all of your accusations stem from your paranoia. you put words on someone else's mouths..the very words that reside in your head everyday.
I see you as a person drowning in a flood of your own doing while shouting " im okey!".....a very typical mal-educated pinoy...another waste of a soul you are...
@creampie98 Alright, other than giving me a psychiatric assessment with your made believe degree, you have absolutely made no point. "Another waste of a soul you are" come on now this is not soup opera, give me a break. lol
@boipinoi604 Sir, get your grammar right. its "Make-believe" not "made-believe". And please learn to spell, its SOAP OPERA not SOUP OPERA....may gawd, da isfelling op dis ferzon eez sow hameyzing!!!!
@boipinoi604 Sir, you need to learn the CORRECT grammar if you want to indulge in rhetorical argument with educated people in Youtube..
Its not "MY APOLOGIZE". That is grammatically horrible!...It should be "MY APOLOGIES".
Im not gonna translate those ASCII you gave me. That can only mean you spent hours looking for the right characters for nothing. Its YOU who wasted your own time...BAHAHAHA...
@creampie98 You're smarter than I thought. Yes, they are just random ASCII characters but no I have not spent hours on coding them.
You are quite keen on your grammar/spelling, but just to let you know, most of the users on the internet do not spend their time proof-reading their messages to fellow users unless it is a formal writing. If you find anything grammatically wrong with this message, I'm just going to laugh.
@creampie98 On the other hand, your "Im" will require an apostrophe in between. Also, your trailing period is grammatically horrible. Furthermore, "educated people in Youtube" should be written as "educated people ON youtube".
@boipinoi604 Errors in punctuation marks and prepositions are forgivable especially in the age of internet jargons way beyond what you may have surmised in your eagerness to repulse my assertations. However, the only laughable matter in this entire discourse is your constant skimming of things you can easily point out as mere errors so you can fill your egoistic cup which is nothing more than crap. Any retort to this message would only prove your nursing of a hurt ego...wawa ka naman boi
- "jargon" is both singular and plural, no "s" is required. Like Alpa Chino said in regards to a colleague saying "Viet Congs", "It's (Viet Cong) already plural...You wouldn't say 'Chineses'?!" (Tropic Thunder, 2008).
- You "refute" an assertion, not "repulse" it, lol. Anu yun, "the force" na kelangang may tabla? Baka ma-Sarah Palin ka a la "Refudiate".
O hayan, di bale nang magulo ang punctuation marks, wag lang grammar ano?
@RingSight91 Surely you must belong to the Dating Daan cult of Eli Soriano since you seem to possess a knack for strict adherence to rhetorics. One may instruct another with the varied usage of

FYI our earliest ancestors were FROM AFRICA. That you're NOT BLACK today shows that you're NOT PURE in any imaginable way either. Whether you like it or not, you're a mix, coming from many people coming from many places, so don't you dare say "But do we need them?". Ang kapal mo!

@RingSight91
Clearly, you do not get my point. I never said anything about purity and I know that the 'mitochondrial eve' came from Africa. Let me get back to my first statement. It is racist to claim that Manila's most beautiful women are those with Spanish blood. When I asked if 'we need them' I was referring to those actresses you have enumerated. Do we need them to make society function? Your reactions are out of context my dear. But I am not surprised. UST?

@molbioatako >"It is racist to claim that Manila's most beautiful women are those with Spanish blood."
You're confusing Ethnocentrism for Racism. That's a white guy narrating the white-made footage for white audiences in the 1930s. If their tastes lean more towards Charlene Gonzales rather than Gladys Dueñas, who are we to disagree?
Silly point in asking if said actresses are needed in society at all. Questions of "Social Utility" would be just as stupid as notions of Racial Superiority.

@molbioatako Key differences. Spanish and Filipino are nationality, not a race. What you call a race is those people being caucasian, negro and some things like that.

@jbislove08 ~It's ethnocentric, not racist. An accurate example of racism is a black guy staying away from the white or VV. Also, whether you like it or not, not all Filipinos who aren't mixed with Spanish blood are ugly. Try walking around Libis, Baywalk, SM Mall of Asia, Universities and other crowded places. You can't avoid seeing a pretty pure Filipina that never had any Spanish blood from her ancestry. There's no such thing as ethnic/race supremacy btw.

The Philippines was one of the richest places in Asia under Spanish rule.
Free education for all subjects with government schools built even in the smallest of villages, all kinds of modern infrastructures such as marine ports, trains, trams, suspension bridges, etc, and it was not even the 20th century.
All that changed drastically with the US annexation and the massacring of more than 10% of the population.
RafaelMinuesa 1 year ago
@RafaelMinuesa >"The Philippines was one of the richest places in Asia under Spanish rule."
Ahem, "places" are never "rich", or "poor" for that matter. OTOH, there are "people" and business enterprises owned by said people.

@RingSight91
"When discovered. most of the tribes (in the Philippine Archipelago) were a race of half-naked savages, inferior to all the great tribes, who were pushing, at the same time, an active commerce, and enjoying a respectable share of the necessaries and comforts of a civilized state. Upon the whole, they are at present superior in almost everything to any of the other races."
That's from John Crawfurd, British colonial administrator in Malaysia
History of the Indian Archipelago (1820)
RafaelMinuesa 1 year ago
@RafaelMinuesa All I can infer from that is that said "tribes" (avoiding the old and inaccurate references to "race") could be considered "rich". What an environment (Philippines/Archipelago) has in the means of natural resources is just that, "resources", or a potential richness. Valuation to infer richness or poorness is a purely human exercise. e.g., You might have cliffs made of gold, but without people to exploit it, you can't call the place "rich".
RingSight91 1 year ago
@RingSight91
Agreed. But still, tell me of a fairer way to evaluate "richness" than comparing the Philippines with its neighbours, which were superior in terms of "richness",
That's the British administrator of Malaysia: "Upon the whole, they are at present superior in almost everything to any of the other races", and that was the Philippines during Spanish colonial times
RafaelMinuesa 1 year ago
@RafaelMinuesa >"But still, tell me of a fairer way to evaluate 'richness'"
I must ask, is it fair to try and "evaluate richness" in the first place? To what end? To place blame for the apparent loss of such? Recriminations will get you nowhere. Even today there are those who would plunder and steal from their own, no Kastilas required.
And I must also question the credibility and capability of a British Administrator in Colonial Times. Nobody then had the resources to fully map out such data.
RingSight91 1 year ago
@RingSight91
To me it is a way of comparing systems. No system is perfect, but some are, let's say, less harmful than others.
It wasn't only the British administrator of Malaysia. John Bowring, (Governor General of British Hong Kong from 1856 to 1860), wrote that::
"Credit is certainly due to Spain for having bettered the condition of a people who, though comparatively highly civilized, yet being continually distracted by petty wars, had sunk into a disordered and uncultivated state."
RafaelMinuesa 1 year ago
@RafaelMinuesa >"It wasn't only the British administrator of Malaysia."
it wasn't his credibility of being an "administrator" at Malaysia looking-in to the Philippines I was questioning. Before the character-limit cut me off, I was expressing doubts about the validity of "British"-assessed anything at the time. Despite their status as World Power then, it was still the 19th Century, where data flaws would be evident relative to today's even-collegiate standards of research.

I see people in the Philippines saying that they don't have any traces of Spanish or Chinese heritage, because they are 100% Filipinos, when in fact being 100% Filipino means exactly that, a mixture of all races and cultures that are part of their past.
It's a known fact in biology that crossbreeding does produce stronger and smarter individuals and Filipinos have had several generations of selective crossbreeding.
