Ilokano ka met gayam

[iiiEMOTIONiii]

What "Pilipino"/s can be truly proud of apart from claims who say they are "Pilipino"/s is this:

WE HAVE A FIGHTING SPIRIT IN FACING LIFE in our own country drench in hardships, corruption and degradation.

ANG TUNAY NA PINOY ANG SIYANG MAY TULAD NA PAG-IISIP NI JOSE RIZAL AT ANDRES BONIFACIO NA KAYANG IBIGAY ANG BUHAY PARA SA INANG BAYAN!!!

Both minds are a representative of A TRUE FILIPINO CITIZEN... BONIFACIO IS THE SOUL OF OUR PEOPLE'S FREEDOM and RIZAL IS THE SPIRIT.

YAN ANG PINOY!!!

[sunnycastillo]

@iiiEMOTIONiii Such an intelligent answer. I like it. Mabuhay ka, kabayan. :)

[vicoy42]

hindi ka pilipino kc english ang salita mo eh..hehehe..

[sunnycastillo]

@vicoy42 Hahahaa. Sabi nga rin ng iba dito... so, may katuwiran ka para sabihin yan, kabayan, pero actually... kung Pinoy ka at hindi ka marunong mag-English, may weird pa yun. Kasi yan ang isa sa mga kagalingan nating mga Pinoy... na kaya nating gamitin ang English, which is the international language of trade and commerce. Dito sa America, ang mga Pinoy ay kilala bilang mga Asians na magagaling mag-English, kaya di natin kailangan ng ESL, na katulad ng mga ibang Asian countries. Peace!

[dekjet3745]

[sunnycastillo]

@portiahamandre Imagine a santol soaked in vinegar for a long time... that's "naartem". :)

I lived in Baguio for over 7 years... i feel like i am a bit of igorot myself. :)

[portiahamandre]

we just celebrated our Independence day today in the Church. And our Pastor acknowledged every Filipinos for the hardships and dedications we have in big or small task. And everybody (different nations) was clapping their hands after we sang the Pambansang awit, that makes every Filipinos proud. We even choosed your video in one of our performance.

(kahit saang bansa man tayo makarating yung ngiting pinoy andon parin)

Agbiyag ti Pilipino.

God bless!

[sunnycastillo]

[riacdm]

hi Sunny, i used to be Reuben's part time road manager that's why i said that... your voice reminds me of him =) he's a good singer and a good man...like you, he is abroad too, promoting our country through music. again, keep up the Filipino spirit and spread the language, culture and everything pinoy. you are right, other nationalities teach the young ones their language etc. unlike for pinoys :( sadly it's not that way... :(

[riacdm]

ang importante lang eh kung PILIPINO ka, magsalita ng TAGALOG sa isa't isa lalo na kung kapwa PILIPINO kausap,turuan ang mga batang di pinanganak sa Pinas na magsalita ng TAGALOG,ituro ang kultura at iba pang tungkol sa PILIPINAS kahit na saang bansa ka pa at kahit kailangan matutunan ang kultura ng iba. maraming salamat sa video na ito na ginawa mo at nilagay ko sa Facebook ko para makita ng iba na dapat di kinakalimutan ang pagiging PILIPINO. MABUHAY KA SUNNY! kaboses mo si Reuben Laurente.

[sunnycastillo]

@riacdm Salamat po... Ako din po, sinisubukan kong ituro sa mga kakilala ko ang wika natin... nakakalungkot nga kasi may mga batang Pinoy dito na di tinuturuan ng mga magulang nila na magsalita ng tagalog, samantalang ang mga ibang kultura (gaya ng Hispanics at Polish) na talagang pinalalaki ang mga anak nila na bilingual...

Anyway, salamat ulit. Di ko po kilala si Ruben Laurente. :) I'll check it out.

[riacdm]

ang importante lang eh kung PILIPINO ka, magsalita ng TAGALOG sa isa't isa lalo na kung kapwa PILIPINO kausap mo at turuan ang mga batang di na dito pinanganak na magsalita ng TAGALOG...ituro mo ang kultura at iba pang bagay mula sa bansang PILIPINAS kahit na saang bansa ka pa at kahit kailangan matutunan mo ang kultura ng iba. maraming salamat sa video na ito na ginawa mo at nilagay ko sa Facebook ko para makita ng iba na dapat di kinakalimutan ang pagiging PILIPINO. MABUHAY KA SUNNY!

[sunnycastillo]

@riacdm Nakita ko na po si Ruben Laurente... he's good. mas magalign po yun di hamak kesa sa akin. Hahahaha. Pero salamat nga talaga.

[marie101697]

marunong din ako mag ILOCANO ;)

[sunnycastillo]

@marie101697 Ahhh OK ngarud! Hehehe. Taga-Ilocos ka?

[pricegadot]

2 people are not proud to be a Filipino . . .

[trollwarlordjake]

kinan ta nang band ko nung nag buwan ng wika sa school namin.........astig

[sunnycastillo]

@trollwarlordjake Cool!  Post mo ang video. :)

[makuyetz18]

i LOVE this song ; ) ! meron na rin akong maidadagdag sa jingle nmen for buwan ng wika :)) ! hehe !! but its so good . i love it ! im proud to be filipino :)

[sunnycastillo]

@makuyetz18 Good for you! Thanks for stopping by. Good luck na lang sa buwan ng wika. :)

[jojopogi2]

sinong niloko,

di sanay sa wikang banyaga!

evil /w\

ok

Nose bleed ako sa wikang banyaga!!!!!

obviously ur a certified post filipino....



[sunnycastillo]

@jojopogi2 Ohhh hahahaaaa. May tama ka, bro. Ironic nga naman kasi i'm speakign English. I dont know what "post filipino" means, but it sounds like a judgment. it sounds like wala nang pinoy... and that's not fair. as far as i'm concerned kasi, bahagi na talaga ng pagiging Pinoy ang maging maruong ng English, even tough it sounds like a big oxymoron... i guess the evil grin is called for.

Nose bleed ako sa comment mo. hahahahaa.

[sonydvd2010]

well done! could you kindly tell me your chords that you used, pls!!

[sunnycastillo]

@sonydvd2010 OK, i got it down in the comments... right below the translations. I hope it helps... kasi i think it's not perfect...

[edmar267]

sira ulo kaba!!!!

bakit nag english ka!!!

bagtet!!!!

[sunnycastillo]

@edmar267 Kasi kapag Pinoy ka, at hindi ka marunong mag-Ingles, lalo sigurong mas bagtit yun, kasi bahagi ng kultura natin ang maging magaling sa wikang Ingles. Hahahaha. English is not really considered foreign language to us.

Pero pare, hinay-hinay ka lang, kasi medyo bastos yung post mo. Dadalhin mo sa hukay ang kabastusan na yan, bro... ikaw din, video lang ito... na di dapat maging dahilan para maging bastos ka sa kapwa mo.

Peace!

[linekill]

@edmar267 di mo yata na-intindihan vid post nya, pre.

[edbehagi]

This video is inspirational. It made me realize how fortunate I am to be one.. I am a Filipino and I really am proud.:)

Filipinos are respectful and humble. Filipinos are like bamboo-even if it's tall, it always bows down. :D

[sunnycastillo]

@edbehagi Thanks! Yes, we are humble in general... i just hope it does not slide down into inferiority complex, coz we're too good for that. :)

[music666able]

i'm a 100% pinoy and my girlfriend filipino american .. she like abodo ....

[sunnycastillo]

@music666able adobo ftw!!! tell her to try the bistek. :)

[rodneyksido1]

Thanks for your reply, mula ng nakita ko yung video clips mo, i know you're a nice person. I can't blame also some Pinoys going abroad kasi para din mai-angat kanilang pamilya sa magandang buhay. We want also a better life even though we sacrifice our happiness. Regards.

[rodneyksido1]

If you're already in abroad, you can realize that Pinas is the best for u. Kumita ka nga ng malaki, pero kapirangkot naman ang kaligayan mo. Dito sa Pinas kahit medyo kapos, pero masaya naman. Pag andyan ka sa abroad, pangarap mo rin na ang Pinas. Masaya dito brod, maraming kapit-bahay na ka-tong-it!!!

[sunnycastillo]

@rodneyksido1 Tong-its! Wow i miss that. I also miss mahjong. :) I agree about what you said. I appreciate being in the Philippines more now that I am away... kaya ako, umuuwi ako taon-taon. Someday, I will go back there for good.

[argiemae1]

Filipinos are mostly respectful... we have that so called hospitality that is always in our selves eversince we are born... that is the best mark more than being positive to any situations that we must be proud of being filipinos.=)

[sunnycastillo]

@argiemae1 I agree about hospitality. We give our best bed to our guests. Di yan nangyayari dito sa america. Kesi hodang matulog ka sa sofa. :)

[mysweetstranger]

you did great...keep it up..never changed...

[sunnycastillo]

@mysweetstranger good to hear from you! yes, i remember jonathan brandis. :)

[sunnycastillo]

nasaan ka na ngayon?

[mysweetstranger]

@sunnycastillo am here in la union now...i kinda smiled when you said you remembered jonathan brandis...=) how about you? sang lupalop ka na napadpad?

[sunnycastillo]

@mysweetstranger i now based here in the Chicagoland area. I try to go home to Pinas every year, though. Mahirap mawalay sa Pilipinas, kahit gaano pa kahirap ang buhay dyan, mas masarap, mas masaya ang mga tao. :)

[mysweetstranger]

@sunnycastillo when are you coming home then? how long have been there? i agree with sir sunny, 'pinas ay talagang kakaiba...akala ko you pursued your acting career...

[Nur8Nurani]

funny how you introduce your song in english, yet you sing a filipino song that talks about the filipino language

[sunnycastillo]

@Nur8Nurani There is indeed some kind of idiotic contradiction about it. Hahahaaa. But since English is really the second language in the Philippines, it does make sense in the end. :)

[jhemskhy]

he's not FLORANTE!!!! Florante is quite old by now.. this guy is still young.

[sunnycastillo]

@jhemskhy Uhhh... "Florante cover" doesn't mean "I'm Florante." LOL. Thanks for the afirmation though. Haha.

[septemberw8s]

hi can you please tell me the guitar chords/tabs of the song? please? thank you in advance..

[sunnycastillo]

@septemberw8s Hi Sorry I do not have any copy of that... kasi i just searched it online. i think you can get it on google... that's where i remember searching for it.

[bobotmanzano]

kuya excellent job.... you have a amazing voice.... naglaing ka nga talaga.... proud pinoy.... proud ilokano.... mabuhay ka kuya

[denogena]

Speak english fluently but he wrote: ...I am not used to foreign languages... a bit confusing....

[sunnycastillo]

@denogena Hahahaaaa you have a point, but you know, English is really not foreign language in the Philippines. :)

[stephen2242001]

nice... very nice....just got home from my friend's house. we were drinking beer and playing the guitar. We dont know why but we ended up singing this song because of the "San Miguel Beer" commercial way long time ago. Now just searching "ako'y isang pinoy" song here in youtube when i came across this one. Good job man....

[sunnycastillo]

@stephen2242001 Wahahaha! You know, I was casted to a San Miguel Beer commercial in 1998. But that's not the one where they sang this song. What a coincidence. Thanks for stopping by. Keep in touch! Kantahan tayo over San Mig someday. :)

[ashmylife]

really nice bro. ......

[MariaHalik]

Good job. You spoke in English real well but you are saying you are not used to foreign languages. I guess we don't consider English as a foreign language anymore.

[sunnycastillo]

@MariaHalik the line that says "I'm not used to foreign languages" is actually a translation of the line "ako'y hindi sanay sa wikang mga banyaga." Haha. But you're right; English is hardly classified as foreign language for Filipinos. :) Thanks for the visit.

[aljik357]

very good...try opening edsa record

[sunnycastillo]

@aljik357 edsa record??? what's that???

[shailee79]

Pinoys are the best people in the world. I found my home and left my heart in the Philippines.

Tnanks for the song and lots of love!

[sunnycastillo]

Best people! hahaha. That one is hard to prove. But I just love being Pinoy, that's all. We are the Asian Latinos. :)

[sunnycastillo]

thanks!! blessings to you.

[mynameislife]

hey! I'm filipino, born in the US, but most all of my friends, either can only say and understand the language very little basics of our language. I myself, I don't think, am very good at filipino, but I feel like I know the most out of any other Fil-Am that I know. I love that you sang this song, and put the translation on the side. (Is it by Asin?) I am sad that our filipino language seems to be slowly forgotten. But I have hope! Salamat po ulit para sa upload!

[sunnycastillo]

Good to know about you, man. It is not easy to keep the culture and language when you are not immersed into it. Have you been to the Philippines before? It's good to visit your roots; it makes it real and new.

The song is by Florante. :) Thanks for visiting, and mabuhay ka.

[mysteriousladydragon]

AMEN BRO!! AMEN!!

[sunnycastillo]

LOL. Amen pala.  Thank you!

[sunnycastillo]

Wow!!! So, youre not Filipino, but you speak and understand Filipino/Tagalog, obviously.  Are you American? Thanks for the comment. Kudos!!

[inalmeyda]

I like you to be a filipino and so nationalistic... hanga ako sayo. Keepit up as your one of the best example. Sana mabago ang buong pilipinas sa pamamagitan mo. Mabuhay kabayan.

[sunnycastillo]

Salamat... I do what I can in my own little way top lift the Filipino spirit. It cannot be just Manny Pacquaio or any one individual; if we all do it together, the "pagbabago" can happen.  Mabuhay po kayo!

[tribongpinoy00]

kamusta na kabayan! mahusay nanaman ang pagkaka awit mo ng kantang di natin maliligaw kahit na bgyan pa ito ng iba't ibang bersyon, slamat sa kanta at mga salitang nakakapagbigay ng inspirasyon! mabuhay ka kabayan! ako'y isang pinoy!

-TP-

[sunnycastillo]

"Kantang di maliligaw" sounds right. Mabuhay ka rin, kabayan!!

[TheBlowingbubbles]

Ang galing! Proud to be Pinoy!

[sunnycastillo]

[sunnycastillo]

Ahh, thanks! I tend to do videos more for this channel than the other one. it's more difficult to do videos for the other eh.

Yay, pinoy!! hehehe. hospitable is very true.

[BlackCappa]

This is one of my fave songs actually!

Thanks and God bless!

[sunnycastillo]

God bless you too! Ako'y is Pinoy is not my favorite song, but I love it nonetheless. It stirs some sentiments in me, like nostalgia and stuff. Hahaha.
