  • juz like Mongols embrace their nomadic culture....Filipinos shud do sumtim similiar with sailing culture.

    But dats not gonna happen....since most "Filipinos" are watching T"F"C..The Fucked-up Channel.

  • @smackout

    I agree fully.... cheers Wave

  • ancient filipinos were hard as fuck warriors. spanish and americans have domesticated the ancient filipinos to the point that they have forgotten who they really are. it's good to see this sort of stuff surfacing to get people back in touch with their roots. great video! keep them coming :)

  • @avatarbrix11,noog 1989 when i was in highschool nag fieldtrip kami dyan sa balanghai shrine,nakita kona yung real na bangka na nahukay,ang ganda ng pagkakagawa di katulad ng bago nilang balanghai boat ngayon parang hindi solid ang pagkagawa,nice ang place nyo. peaceful maraming mga nipa palm,im from cagayan de oro.

  • arentt hawaiians also have the same ancestry as us??

  • One of the purpose of this expedition is to uplift Filipinos, and educate them of our ancient history. Ancient Filipinos were courageous, and were masters in seafaring. The ship builders of Badjao tribe are skilled boat craftmen, and was asked to build a replica of the Balangay. This is truly inspiring.

  • O-O nga thetwilight05, pagbumabagyo ang mga kadagatan, maaring mga 35 - 50 feet ang kalalaki ng mga alon, pero delikadong delikado rin ang balangay na banka na iyan eh. wala akong tiwala sa mga construction ng Balangay boat na iyan. oh my God.

  • HAhahaha kakatakot naman ang 150 stories na alon. Eh ibig mo ba sabihin mas mataas pa sa petronas tower ng malaysia or taipe101 tower ng taiwan ang alon na yan? hehehehe. di nman cguro sobra nman kalaki. Kasi kahit mag bagyo ng 1000klm/hour hindi mka create ng ganon kalaking alon.

  • ok seriously i dont care anymore that was a month ok i dont care!!!

  • Kung ang ferry nga taon-taon lumulubog sa Pilipinas, "balangay" pa kaya of the size and type seen in the video clip.
