@KodaJosh098 Filipinos ALWAYS misuse the term "western" to refer to the States. "Western" refers to Europe and its former colonies, like the States. Those Spanish-styled buildings are Western in design.
@KodaJosh098 America Is A Continent Not A Country KodaJosh098 You Mean Filipinas Society Is So Influenced By United States Culture I Am An American From The United Mexican States Commonly Known As Mexico
It is implied when a person says "America," he/she means USA. The whole world knows that, when you say "America" it is implied USA. An example would be terrorists waging war against the West. When they say "Death to America" they mean USA.
@KodaJosh098 Please Do Not Use The Term Americans To Refer To Unitedstatesians Or United States Citizens You Are Implying That I Killed Filipinos The Filipino Genocide That Was Done By Unitedstatesians Bolivians Argentines Did Not Kill Filipinos Unitedstatesians Have
@KodaJosh098 I Am Telling You KodaJosh098 If You Wonder Why The World Is The Way It Is We Keep Passing The Same Inacurracies Or Infecting Generations With The Same Metal Viruses Filipinas Himno Nacional Es Muy Bonito Increible La Version En Espanol Es La Original Tierra Adora Hija Del Sol De Oriente Tu Fuego Ardiente En Ti Esta Latiendo
@KodaJosh098 Y la primera constitución filipina también se escribió en español, y los primeros diarios, y la primera literatura... Las Filipinas dejaron perder todo ese legado, no pueden culpar a nadie más que a sí mismos.
@KodaJosh098 The Philippines is westernized mainly because of Spain, I mean the Philippines is the only Catholic nation in Asia, quite similar as any Latin American country. The USA tried to push Spanish legacy away in order to assimilate the Philippines as a colony.
Spain IS a western country. I'm talking about some western influences (mainly US, Spain) in the Philippines that are evident in education, religion, language, etc.
we dont have to speak the language of people from spain coz we are not spanish, we are far from spain and spanish people clearly showed their dislike of the natives of our country since they first laid their eyes on them, and frankly nothing has changed since then. my point is, spanish people are racist fucks because they are white, who knows what they will think if people from the philippines start to re establish spanish language., they might just get angry, i hate whites so much!
@Spearman36saba dihang jawa.a ka, bati kag nawong! i have met a lot of spaniards and mestizos here in our country, and i hate them because they are so arrogant and i believe it is their culture to look down on indios which deepens my rage towards them. furthermore, i dont want to associate myself with mass murderers.. and i dont care about jamaicans why would i care to if jamaicans speak english..imbecile..
@syndrah90 You are so dumb that you just dont get it. Here let me make it simple: people who speak spanish as mother tonques are not not necessarily spaniards.
Look at yourself first before you put on the hypocritical coat of victim because rwandan mass murderers arent white. moron.
You havent met a single Spaniard and for you to even pretend hating the white man for an imaginary injury you were never a part of makes me puke!
@Spearman36 puedo decir q mi experiencia en espanya fue 10 veces mejor que en EEUU por el tema del racismo. hay una diferencia enorme entre los americanos blancos y los espanoles. para este senor la palabra "white" es algo perjorativo. pero lo entiendo. q he tenido yo mismo muchas malas experiencias con los "whites" de EEUU. pero bueno no todos son iguales y hay buena gente en america tambien. me gusta los dos paises pero de todos modos me gusta mucho mas la gente de espanya q EEUU.
@syndrah90 I can only speak for myself, I am "pure" filipino and I have lived in both spain and in EEUU so I can compare. not all whites are the same. In spain I cannot remember one racist incident with a spaniard. in the US I had many ugly racist incidents with white americans (none with blacks). also remember that white americans programmed us filipinos to hate spaniards as a propaganda tactic. but the truth is americans killed more filipinos in 40 years than the spaniards did in 400 years.
@syndrah90 I have found that spaniards love it when a filipino can speak spanish. as do we filipinos love it when spaniards or americans try to speak filipino. we can try to deny it but Spain is a large part of being filipino. lastly Spain cannot be so racist as a country if they let filipinos become spanish citizens in only 2 years time. spain also gives the philippines most monetary aid than any other country in Europe. I'm not trying to be pro-Spain. those are just the facts.
@OneDelaCruise too bad i dont like spanish people including the arrogant mestizos. so what if spain allows filipino to become citizens in two years, spanish people can become filipino even if one dont speak the native language, e.g. the ayala zobels,.you think spanish people are gods that even your god looks european, philippines will not grow because it is still in the shadows of its self degrading colonial past in which native filipinos were depicted as being slaves and are good for nothing.
@syndrah90 let me first say that I agree that colonialism is a bad thing. It is never right for one people to colonize another. but we have to be accurate when trying to piece together history. I agree with you that "whites" have done a lot of bad things. but we have to be specific. the colonialism suffered under spanish rule was interpreted by the vicotrs (the americans) they wrote the history. we filipinos have been brainwashed by that history rewritten by americans.
@OneDelaCruise and no I dont think spanish people are gods. I think they are equals like all human beings on earth. and you are right filipinos have adopted a god that looks european... forced upon us. but again brainwashed into accepting this.
@OneDelaCruise other european observers have written that the type of colonialism that spain implemented in the philippines was much more progressive than in other spanish colonies. our colonial past, although not a good thing, was not horrific, as it was in LA were peoples such as the Incan and mayan people were raped and plundered. we simply didnt suffer the same fate. but Americans tell us we did and we believe them. this is I suspect just to distract us from attrocities in phi-ame war.
@OneDelaCruise as for being depicted as slaves I dont see the evidence of this nor that it could even be possible. remeber that there were only a handful of spaniard in the philippines. the only people in contact with them directly were filipinos living in a handful of cities such as manila, cebu zamboanga etc. the numbers are just not there to verify mass abuse of the general population. this is evidenced by so few mestizos compared to LA. so mass raping was not even possible as it was in LA
@OneDelaCruise You Mean Unitedstatesians Or United States Citizens OneDelaCruise American Is Not A Nationality America Is A Continent Not A Country Brazilians Venezuelans Mexicans Are American Filipinas Was Americanized By Mexicans Peruvians Cubans Spaniards Took Americans From The United Mexican States Commonly Known As Mexico
@syndrah90 The USA is also far away from the Philippines, not only geographically but culturally. Filipino people share many traditions with Hispanic nations all around the world, not only with Spain. Most Filipinos don't even know about those links and that's part of national failure.

Lodemerisk, honestly, I know somebody you can work for and she speaks Spanish. She needs you! I think you are qualified to work for her as a maid, You already have the looks!
This is so cool. I've never seen any filipino that's so fluent in spanish. Growing up here in the states, I'm more accustomed to mexicans, puertoricans, dominicans with their spanish language. BTW, she's got a super kick ass mansion.
Un video que trata de sobresaltar la existencia de la cultura hispana en Filipinas, y todos escriben aquí en inglés. Creo que habría que empezar por reflexionar sobre este país en idioma español si se quiere rescatar la esencia hispana de él. Afortunadamente, el gobierno filipino reciente ha iniciado ese proceso.
@OMC1109 Estoy totalmente de acuerdo con tigo pero cuenta que de los 99 millones de personas que hay en Filipinas solo 1 millon mas o menos hoy en dia entiende el español y menos de 300.000 lo sabe escribir. Por eso la manera de comunicarse y expresarse es en ingles, en Tagalog, Cebuano... Siempre se le dio mucha culpa a los americanos del exterminio del español en Filipinas pero hay que reconocer que el gobierno filipino nunca hizo nada para impedirlo.
@AdanSpanish20 Entiendo. Es lamentable que en tan relativo poco tiempo se haya reducido tanto la cantidad de hispanoparlantes filipinos. De los norteamericanos se entiende su afán por desplazar el idioma español por el inglés, como forma de imperialismo cultural, pero de los gobiernos filipinos, sobre todo el de Aquino, resulta incomprensible esa complacencia a costa de reducir el bagaje cultural filipino de trescientos años de cultura hispana. Excelente tu canal, así sabemos más sobre tu país.
Culpo los Filipinos porque ellos enérgicamente resistieron a todos los esfuerzos para enseñarlos español pensando que esto significará la rendición. Ahora ellos sienten mucho.
Spanish needs to be the other official language of the Philippines (along with Tagalog and American English). The Philippines, the country, was created by Spain. It wasn't created by the Americans, the Chinese, Japanese, Arabs, Indians nor the native Austronesians. It was created by the Spaniards for which they named the country after a Spanish king, King Philip II.
@acatalanb I exactly think that way, it was the main language of the Island, the first educated filipinos were spanish speakers and studied in Europe (los ilustrados), the whole culture of the Philippines was based on Spanish, many important scripts were written in Tagalog and mainly in Spanish,y por eso, este país es, sin duda, parte del mundo hispanohablante.
@Zero5twelve Exacto, pero la realidad es que no todos los Filipinos saben habler espanol. La lengua castellana es requerido por el departamento de educacion para graduar, sin embargo, no aprendieron bastante para conversar en espanol. Los residentes de Zamboanga hablan chavacano, pero es diferente.
@ltljulian Exacto, pero la realidad es que no todos los Filipinos saben hablar o entienden espanol. La lengua castellana es requerido por el departamento de educacion para graduarse de colegio, sin embargo, no aprendieron bastante para conversar en espanol. Los residentes de Zamboanga hablan chavacano, que suena como "pidgin" espanol.
@DLostSheep Es verdad, ademas su apellido Tambunting, es un apellido tagalog por eso seguramente su familia original de Batangas fueron chinos mesclados con autoctonos que encontraron fortuna en la epoca colonial.
@AdanSpanish20 Tambunting, Dimaculangan, Dimagundayao, Padaoil, etc.no todos Filipinos cambiaron sus nombres al español. algunos de ellos guardaron sus nombres Filipinos..
I'm a proud Filipino and that's the only thing we should be proud of. This people are trying so fckin hard to be spaniards when were mix of alot more Chinese, japon, Malay, Indonesian it looks korny when we try to be something than true Fillipino's damn it...Tunay NA Pinoy!
@Rickola01 I agree with you... but it's good that they can speak spanish though the woman is not so fluent yet she is so arrogant... She doesn't look like spanish at all... She looks like Mestiza de Sangley.
Haha... No sabe ke significa coño... Coño is ovary in English... Well in filipinas it is actually a style of teenagers or the college people, so if I say coño it doesn't matter bcoz they don't actually understand it, nung npanood q to dto s Madrid Sabi q wow... Hay gente todavia en filipinas ke abla castellano...
Spanish was never the lingua franca of the Philippines. When you study our history you'll know that this language was only spoken by the elite, and the powerful.
@nicopetut Proper Spanish is indeed spoken by the elite - Rizal, Aguinaldo and even Bonifacio (a revolutionary elite) included. It was the language of the ilustrados and the englightened who fought for independence. Not embracing the Spanish language is like Americans not embracing English - the language of George Washington.
@nicopetut con- and although it wasn't spoken by everyone, there existed spanish based creole languages spoken by the masses. We only have two left - Chavacano Caviteno and Zamboangueno. Creole in Manila - Ermiteno, was driven extinct by the Phil-American War and World War II.
If you study our history, you'd be surprised that the golden age of Spanish Literature in Phil. was the American occupation. Imposition of English was an insult to the ilustrados who fought for independence.
To fellow Filipinos who still think of Spanish as the language of the "mananakop":
Travel around the world, meet Latinos and Spaniards. And you'd appreciate the fact that it's the language of our culture and hispanic identity - An identity that cuts across ethnic and racial groups - Malays, Chinese and Mestizos included and a very important identity that makes a Filipino a Filipino;
With all due respect to Muslim Filipinos, but this is a fact for 95% of the Philippines.
@rodriguezdp15 Her husband is Spanish, and they were filming her to show they still spoke Spanish there, in a limited way. There's nothing colonial about it, just as there's nothing wrong with you speaking English when you're neither english nor American.
The Spanish did not want to teach the language to the masses, only the elite and mestizos had some education, the rest were brainwashed by religious superstitions
@JeanEtchepare Yes, Spanish was the language of the educated and the englightened - the people who envisioned an independent Filipinas. Rizal, Aguinaldo and even Bonifacio included.
@zurcsurot when I read the works of Jose Rizal in Spanish, I cannot but drop a tear. I admire his prose, and it moves me deeply. I wish you people of the Philippines could understand Spanish to comprehend what Rizal meant and felt.
Actually most Filipinos did not drop Spanish; they never learned it in the first place. Spanish was never the normal medium of communication for most people, only for a small elite. Filipinos had their native languages. Compare the Philippines with Puerto Rico which also went to the US at the same time. Spanish is the mother tongue of Puerto Ricans and many have very obvious European blood. That is because only a very small number of Spaniards actually settled in the Philippines.
I love the Spanish language. I was born in the Philippines but moved to the US at 16 years old. It is a beautiful language but no one in Philippines speak it. They see only English has their future which is sad.
@aliens301 Thank you for answering my question. It is very kind of you but now I have another one. Is it a welcomed part of the culture or do they see it as part of Spanish colonialism? An example of this in another part of the world is younger Jamaicans who see speaking Patois as an important part of their cultural identity while older Jamaicans see it as a vulgar vernacular that butchers the Queen’s English which they believe should be spoken.
@MrAnthonyRizzo for me,it is mixed before spanish came then american and japanese..the arab,india,chinese,malay,indo came first ..about jamaicans i think your right cuz i have friends from jamaica living here in phillys..
@MrAnthonyRizzo There are more than 150 languages in the Philippines, each person is proud of his own local tongue.Spanish language has lost its importance in the Philppines.Only a few Spanish mestizos (the younger generation of mestizos usually speak in English & Filipino) maintain the language and are proud of their heritage. Zamboanga City has a language called CHAVACANO that is Spanish Creole.There is also a Spanish creole in Cavite and an extinct Spanish creole in Ermita, a street in Manila
@MrAnthonyRizzo The Filipinos take pride with the Hispanic culture in the Philippines. However, due to the efforts of US and of the dictatorship in 70s and 60s to demonize the Spanish culture, to bring down the the Mestizos who used to have strong political and economic power in the Philippines, many people have mixed emotions with the Spanish colonialism. But recently, more and more people are going back to their traditional roots, which include both their prehispanic and hispanic cultures.
@MonMon298 Thank you so much for your input. I believe that being of mixed heritage or race should never be anything to feel shame of. People find love where they can and future generations benefit from it! Whole civilizations have arisen from the mixing of people. I’m glad Filipinos are embracing their plurality instead of hiding from it like so many Latinos do in South, Central and North America.
@MrAnthonyRizzo We easily learn new cultures and adapt to them. No wonder Filipinos are found working in so many countries abroad.The very backbone of our economy is based upon these overseas workers.Our openness to adapt to new and foreign culture (unlike with other who adhere stubbornly to their traditional ways) allowed us to thrive. This is the very reason that while Spanish was spoken for 333 years here, we immediately switched to speaking English when we were occupied by US in 1900s.
@MrAnthonyRizzo The Philippines is the most disaster prone area in the planet.Youll perish if you cant adapt to changes.I guess this s why as a civilization,we are so open to cultural and social changes caused by foreign elements coming to the country.We spoke Spanish from 1500s-1800s.Then switched to English in less than 5yrs when US came in 1900s.We dropped Spanish language in favor of English and Tagalog,not because we dont like it but because we realized that it isnt important anymore.
Many people fail to realize that learning the Spanish language doesn't does it mean you have "colonial mentality." I'm a Filipino, I speak Cebuano, Tagalog, English and Spanish. I know the Sanskrit-Hindu-Animistic-Buddhist roots of the Cebuanos, the Sri Visjaya. But I am also very well learned in the Hispanic traditions of the Philippines. I've read & understood Noli mi Tangere & El Filibusterismo in Spanish, and I've memorized the Philippine anthem in original Spanish. I'm a cultured Filipino.
The Philippines is the only name this country should ever have because it is the first name that was given to the islands when they were first united as one.
All this talk about Maharlika is bullshit. We don't want that ridiculous name for our country because it has no significance to our national identity.
It only has significance to the Tagalog tribes which don't even represent the entire population. Not even close.
Im tired of people forcing this pre-colonial bullshit on us.
@yrmexicansstupid The ship that discovered the Philippines came out from México then called the Viceroyalty of New Spain, and the Philippines become part of the Viceroyalty of New Spain. All the matters concerning to the Philippines was decided in Mexico City by the spanish Viceroy. Mexico share many things in common with the philippines. The United States eraesd the spanish language from the Islands, a fucking crime against the identity of a nation.
@braven117 yup! Spanish should have been our national language in the first place because then we will be more competitive internationally. And tagalog is just a representation of the manilenians, which is not the majority of the country. If we knew how to speak spanish, then the population would atleast know how to speak 3 languages or more. English as the universal, Spanish as international and national and our native language that represent our origin not the copy cat tagalog.
@yrmexicansstupid Hey asshole stop lyng? You are not the only white in the planet you bitch. I´m a white mexican from spanish blood, probaly you must be a fucking chicano piece of shit that feels shame for his roots, most of the wetbacks are brownies, poor and ignorant, like your parents.
@braven117 whoa. don't be pulling the race card in Mexico where most people have spanish blood. it's not like the philippines where that shit works because there was very little mixing. I think you're the one with an identity problem. In america, white, brown, or whatever, mexican is mexican just so you know, which isn't bad because Mex. is one of the few countries asserted their identity and are damn proud of it after they decolonized. So get with the program or go back to europe.
@braven117 Tu siendo mexicano, menos que nadie deberias referirte asi de los tuyos.. no importa sin estan en los EEUU, si son wetbacks como tu los llamas, o si son chicanos.
We should love each other and we will see only beauty in everyone. Hate make us see only ugliness in the world. Love is the greatest commandment. I love all peoples especially Mexicans whom I have lived and worked with for many many years.

You are goin abroad because you are to stupid to pull your country out of powerty. That means you are stupid people. Filipinos shouldn`t be in the west @ all. Hardworking or not I can`t stand your stupid inferior race & Phils is just a stinking trash bin.
why do you idiots stick with the name philippines, its a abomination name, it just proves that we aren't capable of doing things ourselves....you guys are fucking idiots...you make me embarassed.
@copypacercopypacer Chinese, Japanese and Mandarin are all beautiful languages worth learning, but they don't use the same alphabet as Filipinos do, and it will be a tremendous challenge to introduce them to Filipino culture.

Filipinas es un nombre glorioso, tan glorioso, como que está dedicado a un Rey de España. Felipe II, Rey de España, Portugal e Inglaterra (1554-1558), Nápoles y Sicilia, America y Filipinas. Duque de Milan, Soberano de los Países Bajos y Conde de Borgoña. Felipe gobernó el primer imperio global. El imperio más grande jamás visto. En donde nunca se ponía el sol.
Long live Spain and the Philippines. Spain loves the Philippines: D
NO to American propaganda. True Genocide in the Philippines that killed and banned "ALL SPANISH". Remember that your ancestors and your Heroes, were Spanish. From me, to Spanish Haters: Fuck off!!
@SAACAAS Viva España Y Filipinas! Mabuhay ang España at Filipinas., Oo nga't inabuso kami ng mga fraile nyo at ng govierno, ngunit hindi namin maakila na kayo ay nga ay aming mga kapatid rin. Gracias mi amigo.
Viva España y Filipinas. España ama a Filipinas :D
NO a la propaganda Americana. Verdaderos Genocidas de las Filipinas, que mataron y prohibieron TODO LO ESPAÑOL. Recordad que vuestros ancestros y vuestros Heroes, eran Españoles.
You people keep bitching about how the Spaniards came from a foreign land. But the Austronesians also migrated to the archipelago. So did the nomadic Negritos. SAME SHIT.
You sound like complete morons when you say dumb shit like "Oh anything before Spain is good, everything after is bad".
It's as dumb as someone from England claiming real English culture is the one that existed in Anglo-Saxon England from the 5th century to 1066.
Pick up a history book. You might learn something.
Those Malay Kingdoms aren't our roots. They were NOT the first people in the islands. The Malays DISPLACED the Negritos who were in the islands before them and who had their own way of life/culture/traditions. If anything, the first people were the Negritos. Heck some scientists say its the Tabon/Peking men.
You wanna go back to your roots? Then do it. Go back to their way of life. Those are your roots.
@poofkaboom Look man, no one is stopping you from renouncing your identity as a 'Filipino' and your citizenship in a country called the 'Philippines'. Go identify yourself as either a subject of the Rahanate of Butuan, the Kingdom of Maysapan, the Confederation of Madya-as, or the country of Mai. Take your pick from those separate nations. Heck, you can even be one with the Negritos since if you like since they were here first
Ever heard of England and its extensive history it has? Ever heard of the Celts, Anglo-Saxons, Vikings, etc? Cultures are replaced/assimilated, people migrate, kingdoms and colonies are established. It happened in nearly EVERY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD. So stop whining.
People obsessed with the pre-colonial period sound as stupid as a Brit guy going "Screw this country, I'm a Viking. You guys fucked up our culture" LMFAO.
You want to know what a Filipino's ROOTS are? His ROOTS are EVERYTHING IN HIS PAST. That includes the American, Spanish, Austronesian, and Negrito elements. A true Filipino embraces ALL of this.
If you only embrace the pre-colonial period, then you're not Filipino. You're just a citizen of one of those sultanates and kingdoms. Go back to that if you want.
I'm happy with who I am as a Filipino and I embrace and accept everything that it comes with.
Filipino is a slave name. so is "Philippines" we were called something else I wont call myself Filipino because calling myself Filipino is accepting the crimes of humanity
@poofkaboom really now? We were called something else? Please enlighten us. What exactly were 'we' called? Let me answer that for you, NOTHING. We weren't called anything because there was no 'country' to speak of. All that was there were separate and independent islands with different tribes/kingdoms/sultanates and cultures. They were separate nations. There was no 'WE'.
@poofkaboom You are a typical American ignorant (As like Miss North Carolina) or a liar (Typical American Propaganda: We're the good guys). The Philippines is a glorious name, so glorious, as that is dedicated to a king of Spain. Philip II, King of Spain, Portugal and England (1554-1558), Naples and Sicily, America and the Philippines. Duke of Milan, Sovereign of the Netherlands and Count of Burgundy. Philip ruled the first "Global Empire". The largest empire ever seen. Where the sun never set.
@jbermud2 Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago are part of the British Commonwealth, and they recognize the Queen of England as their head of state, the same with Canada, Austraila, New Zealand, Falkand Islands, Bermuda, British Honduras or Belize and many more.
@braven117 that is besides the point though. The crux of the argument was that speaking a language should not be equated to the glorification/ass-kissing of whatever country/people that language originated from. It is a language, nothing more and nothing less. There are many countries in the world that share one language and yet maintain their unique and strong national identities.
@halashet if you want to embrace your roots, go to live with the Negritos in the mountains because they were supposedly the first inhabitants of the islands.
@halashet I'm spanish, but I absolutely agree with what you are saying. We the spanish cruely kill your people, so you shouldn't be proud of that and try to act and behave like spanish people, you are filipin, feel proud of your REAL roots, I'm sure you have a rich and beautiful culture.
@poofkaboom I think I already apologize for that, eventhought it´s not my fault, I think there's no need in blaming on me directly, because at least i'm not a fucking racist as many people in my fucking country. who think Filipinas should continue being spanish. so don't blame on sb who is on your side
Filipinos brothers, recover again the spanish please...

we dont have to speak the language of people from spain coz we are not spanish, we are far from spain and spanish people clearly showed their dislike of the natives of our country since they first laid their eyes on them, and frankly nothing has changed since then. my point is, spanish people are racist fucks because they are white, who knows what they will think if people from the philippines start to re establish spanish language., they might just get angry, i hate whites so much!

@syndrah90 I can only speak for myself, I am "pure" filipino and I have lived in both spain and in EEUU so I can compare. not all whites are the same. In spain I cannot remember one racist incident with a spaniard. in the US I had many ugly racist incidents with white americans (none with blacks). also remember that white americans programmed us filipinos to hate spaniards as a propaganda tactic. but the truth is americans killed more filipinos in 40 years than the spaniards did in 400 years.

@syndrah90 I have found that spaniards love it when a filipino can speak spanish. as do we filipinos love it when spaniards or americans try to speak filipino. we can try to deny it but Spain is a large part of being filipino. lastly Spain cannot be so racist as a country if they let filipinos become spanish citizens in only 2 years time. spain also gives the philippines most monetary aid than any other country in Europe. I'm not trying to be pro-Spain. those are just the facts.

@OneDelaCruise too bad i dont like spanish people including the arrogant mestizos. so what if spain allows filipino to become citizens in two years, spanish people can become filipino even if one dont speak the native language, e.g. the ayala zobels,.you think spanish people are gods that even your god looks european, philippines will not grow because it is still in the shadows of its self degrading colonial past in which native filipinos were depicted as being slaves and are good for nothing.

@syndrah90 let me first say that I agree that colonialism is a bad thing. It is never right for one people to colonize another. but we have to be accurate when trying to piece together history. I agree with you that "whites" have done a lot of bad things. but we have to be specific. the colonialism suffered under spanish rule was interpreted by the vicotrs (the americans) they wrote the history. we filipinos have been brainwashed by that history rewritten by americans.

@OneDelaCruise other european observers have written that the type of colonialism that spain implemented in the philippines was much more progressive than in other spanish colonies. our colonial past, although not a good thing, was not horrific, as it was in LA were peoples such as the Incan and mayan people were raped and plundered. we simply didnt suffer the same fate. but Americans tell us we did and we believe them. this is I suspect just to distract us from attrocities in phi-ame war.
OneDelaCruise 3 days ago
@OneDelaCruise as for being depicted as slaves I dont see the evidence of this nor that it could even be possible. remeber that there were only a handful of spaniard in the philippines. the only people in contact with them directly were filipinos living in a handful of cities such as manila, cebu zamboanga etc. the numbers are just not there to verify mass abuse of the general population. this is evidenced by so few mestizos compared to LA. so mass raping was not even possible as it was in LA

Por eso la manera de comunicarse y expresarse es en ingles, en Tagalog, Cebuano... Siempre se le dio mucha culpa a los americanos del exterminio del español en Filipinas pero hay que reconocer que el gobierno filipino nunca hizo nada para impedirlo.

De los norteamericanos se entiende su afán por desplazar el idioma español por el inglés, como forma de imperialismo cultural, pero de los gobiernos filipinos, sobre todo el de Aquino, resulta incomprensible esa complacencia a costa de reducir el bagaje cultural filipino de trescientos años de cultura hispana.

Spanish needs to be the other official language of the Philippines (along with Tagalog and American English). The Philippines, the country, was created by Spain. It wasn't created by the Americans, the Chinese, Japanese, Arabs, Indians nor the native Austronesians. It was created by the Spaniards for which they named the country after a Spanish king, King Philip II.

@acatalanb I exactly think that way, it was the main language of the Island, the first educated filipinos were spanish speakers and studied in Europe (los ilustrados), the whole culture of the Philippines was based on Spanish, many important scripts were written in Tagalog and mainly in Spanish,y por eso, este país es, sin duda, parte del mundo hispanohablante.

@nicopetut con- and although it wasn't spoken by everyone, there existed spanish based creole languages spoken by the masses. We only have two left - Chavacano Caviteno and Zamboangueno. Creole in Manila - Ermiteno, was driven extinct by the Phil-American War and World War II.
If you study our history, you'd be surprised that the golden age of Spanish Literature in Phil. was the American occupation. Imposition of English was an insult to the ilustrados who fought for independence.

Actually most Filipinos did not drop Spanish; they never learned it in the first place. Spanish was never the normal medium of communication for most people, only for a small elite. Filipinos had their native languages. Compare the Philippines with Puerto Rico which also went to the US at the same time. Spanish is the mother tongue of Puerto Ricans and many have very obvious European blood. That is because only a very small number of Spaniards actually settled in the Philippines.

@MrAnthonyRizzo The Filipinos take pride with the Hispanic culture in the Philippines. However, due to the efforts of US and of the dictatorship in 70s and 60s to demonize the Spanish culture, to bring down the the Mestizos who used to have strong political and economic power in the Philippines, many people have mixed emotions with the Spanish colonialism. But recently, more and more people are going back to their traditional roots, which include both their prehispanic and hispanic cultures.

@MonMon298 Thank you so much for your input. I believe that being of mixed heritage or race should never be anything to feel shame of.

@MrAnthonyRizzo We easily learn new cultures and adapt to them. No wonder Filipinos are found working in so many countries abroad.The very backbone of our economy is based upon these overseas workers.Our openness to adapt to new and foreign culture (unlike with other who adhere stubbornly to their traditional ways) allowed us to thrive. This is the very reason that while Spanish was spoken for 333 years here, we immediately switched to speaking English when we were occupied by US in 1900s.

@MrAnthonyRizzo The Philippines is the most disaster prone area in the planet.Youll perish if you cant adapt to changes.I guess this s why as a civilization,we are so open to cultural and social changes caused by foreign elements coming to the country.We spoke Spanish from 1500s-1800s.Then switched to English in less than 5yrs when US came in 1900s.We dropped Spanish language in favor of English and Tagalog,not because we dont like it but because we realized that it isnt important anymore.

Many people fail to realize that learning the Spanish language doesn't does it mean you have "colonial mentality." I'm a Filipino, I speak Cebuano, Tagalog, English and Spanish. I know the Sanskrit-Hindu-Animistic-Buddhist roots of the Cebuanos, the Sri Visjaya. But I am also very well learned in the Hispanic traditions of the Philippines.

Ever heard of England and its extensive history it has? Ever heard of the Celts, Anglo-Saxons, Vikings, etc? Cultures are replaced/assimilated, people migrate, kingdoms and colonies are established. It happened in nearly EVERY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD. So stop whining.
People obsessed with the pre-colonial period sound as stupid as a Brit guy going "Screw this country, I'm a Viking. You guys fucked up our culture" LMFAO.

You want to know what a Filipino's ROOTS are? His ROOTS are EVERYTHING IN HIS PAST. That includes the American, Spanish, Austronesian, and Negrito elements. A true Filipino embraces ALL of this.
If you only embrace the pre-colonial period, then you're not Filipino. You're just a citizen of one of those sultanates and kingdoms. Go back to that if you want.
I'm happy with who I am as a Filipino and I embrace and accept everything that it comes with.

Filipino is a slave name. so is "Philippines" we were called something else I wont call myself Filipino because calling myself Filipino is accepting the crimes of humanity

@poofkaboom really now? We were called something else? Please enlighten us. What exactly were 'we' called? Let me answer that for you, NOTHING. We weren't called anything because there was no 'country' to speak of. All that was there were separate and independent islands with different tribes/kingdoms/sultanates and cultures. They were separate nations. There was no 'WE'.

@poofkaboom You are a typical American ignorant (As like Miss North Carolina) or a liar (Typical American Propaganda: We're the good guys). The Philippines is a glorious name, so glorious, as that is dedicated to a king of Spain. Philip II, King of Spain, Portugal and England (1554-1558), Naples and Sicily, America and the Philippines. Duke of Milan, Sovereign of the Netherlands and Count of Burgundy. Philip ruled the first "Global Empire". The largest empire ever seen. Where the sun never set.

Oh man! I'm not even American! shocker o.o
"Philippines" is not a glorious name, its a name full of crime.
The King of Spain maybe great to you but I think he's full of crap.
You have your opinions, I have mine
so before you assume maybe do some research. I'm not American.

Also, what is this retarded thing about giving honor to the Spaniards? =))
Does the US, Jamaica, Hawaii, or Trinidad and Tobaggo give honor to England because they speak English?
It's just a language. No one is honoring anyone by speaking it. Don't be stupid.

@jbermud2 Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago are part of the British Commonwealth, and they recognize the Queen of England as their head of state, the same with Canada, Austraila, New Zealand, Falkand Islands, Bermuda, British Honduras or Belize and many more.

@braven117 that is besides the point though. The crux of the argument was that speaking a language should not be equated to the glorification/ass-kissing of whatever country/people that language originated from. It is a language, nothing more and nothing less. There are many countries in the world that share one language and yet maintain their unique and strong national identities.

@halashet if you want to embrace your roots, go to live with the Negritos in the mountains because they were supposedly the first inhabitants of the islands.
jbermud2 4 months ago
@halashet I'm spanish, but I absolutely agree with what you are saying. We the spanish cruely kill your people, so you shouldn't be proud of that and try to act and behave like spanish people, you are filipin, feel proud of your REAL roots, I'm sure you have a rich and beautiful culture.

@poofkaboom I think I already apologize for that, eventhought it´s not my fault, I think there's no need in blaming on me directly, because at least i'm not a fucking racist as many people in my fucking country. who think Filipinas should continue being spanish. so don't blame on sb who is on your side
