Congratulations to the cast and crew, Mabuhay kayong lahat, before FilAm Creative, We have movies like The Flipside, which it’s the First FilAm movie that got accepted in the prestigious Sundance Film Festival, and the we have Debut, originally titled Mercado Family.. we still have a long way to go. But we are making waves. After this movie was made. it took about 20 years more, before new generation of FilAm filmmakers are showing up in Hollywood. #AbePagtamaActor

I'm so glad I found your page! I'm also going through the same journey of learning more about my roots. 🇵🇭

I think you can get dual citizenship in the Philippines . Like my kids if they wanted to be dual citizens they have to fly to the Philippines and apply for there. Because same as your parents . I am American citizenship before they were conceived.. America won’t give you any. But Philippines does. Just like thialander folks. I have a friend who is mother is American citizen but she was Tia . So her kids fly and stayed in the Tia for a month and applied dual Tia citizenship. And she got it. So all Asia will give you that as long as you have money .

wow...push push it

Princess Punzalan!!!!! 💝♥❤‍🩹

Congratulations!

I went to search this short film right here on YT. Can’t find it.

So proud!

I love history!

Love ko to!

Tesz, I was moved when you said the producer immediately gave you a plate of food. I love that you captured the lunch. Also since I was busy on set & didn't really get a chance to have real discussions, I learned a lot about each of my colleagues here. Thank you for being part of this movement!

Speaking of surigao, I hope you do a Surigao Treasure tour or even an interview!!

I hope that this creates a ripple effect across all of America because unfortunately, they still don’t know who we Filipinos are in the south.

It’s about damn time! I have been waiting for this for so long!

I'm mexican, my grandmother had an ancestor who was filipino, according to the records found in one of the Spanish Missions in Baja California Península, he was born in Manila in 1730. I've been asked if I am from Tailand, Japan or Filipinas 😮 after eight generations I got some asian features, I wonder if I took the test the result is going to come with just .2% filipino but my face says may be 10% 😅

Hi! I recently dug up some old documents about my Filipino-Chinese paternal grandpa, and realized that he had a Sephardic Jewish surname all along (until he was trapped in China while on vacation, but that’s another story). I had photos of my great-grandma (his mom) and she didn’t look exactly like Filipino nor Chinese either. Their migration history and location also aligns with the migration of Sephardic Jews in the Philippines. Still trying to process this but yeah, thanks for sharing your story! And my DNA report reflects that.

Ugh that stinks. I had the exact opposite situation…..I applied for dual citizenship and was told I always had it! Which I suspected but the consulate information is fuzzy for sure. And….to get my Filipino passport under my married name is A LOT. Maybe in 2025.

We Filipino know why Marcos has a lot of shoes and the reason is she preserve all shoes even it's just a gift of ordenary shoe maker

The word convicted is a lie We Filipino honoring first lady Imelda Marcos

There is not such a thing as Basque.....other than ethnically!!

I'm half Filipina and I got a teeny tiny amount of jewish too. It comes from my filipina mom. I think that's just arab admixture in Iberian ppl. Doesn't literally mean we have "jewish" ancestry

Dreaming to live and migrate in NYC 😍🙏🏻

Hello from India! Lovely video, personally very timely for me. I too hv (bad) melasma. Hv done the rounds of dermatologists, creams. Was a geeky no/minimal make-up person till chance comments became very hurtful; finally, during the lockdown I started learning make-up from videos and swear by concealers now. However, this past fortnight or so has seen me rebelling against the need for make up every day and therefore, slightly depressed. Was reconsidering the Derm guy again just last evening. So this means a lot. I again accept that though I can keep it at bay there’s no leaving it behind and make up must remain my buddy. Along with good skin care, of course. Will try your technique. Thanks again!

As a Person From South Cotabato, I'm Happy We Actually Appreciate them

You are qualified to acquire dual citizenship as an American and Filipino citizen. Your parents may have acquired US citizenship, but they are Filipino citizens under Philippine law. The requirement to be a Filipino citizen is that your biological father is a Filipino citizen (before 1973), or, one of your biological parent is a Filipino citizen (after 1973). BOTH your parents are Filipino citizens, since they have birth certificates showing their parents (your grandparents) are Filipinos (as reference by you in the video since they "only migrated" from the Philippines and were not born US citizens). The mistake is, you are referencing US laws. STOP THINKING OF US LAWS. Remember, US laws don't even recognize dual citizenship. The Philippines, however, does recognize dual citizenship. And by all instents and purposes, under Philippine law, as evidence by your parents' BIRTH CERTIFICATE (bring these when you apply at the Philippine consulate near you), CONGRATULATIONS, you may acquire Filipino citizenship. Now get that dual citizenship recognized. Walang anuman po. You are welcome! Congrats!

She definitely has been the brains and also the heart of the Philippines! The west set her up to be a greedy criminal, but I’m sure as a Filipino myself, that she has a heart for the Filipino people.

You will have more subscribers if you speak Tagalog or atleast taglish.

Decolonization is a difficult thing to achieve because we have been occupied by Spaniards for 333 years and then Americans took over for 50 years. What we need to do is to dig deeper to our own culture and history pre colonial era. The root word of colonization is colon. After you eat a big meal,during digestion the food is getting processed to your large intestine before you poop it out. So technically, these colonizers pooped out their culture to us! Ugh, it’s gross and how will we decolonize?

Oh yeah Enrique Iglesias is half- Spanish- half Filipino because his mother is a Filipino and his features are really more Spanish than Asian. All I can say is, to some Filipinos please don’t claim that you have spanish blood unless you can prove it to DNA test. Spaniards did not inter mix with Filipinos. We were abused and discriminated! Just to let you know Spaniards are like shit stains that they just don’t go away and it is so unfortunate that we cannot just detach ourselves from them ugh!

Karapat dapat na makakuha ng GAMABA AWARD. YE GAS, THE LEGEND.

But majority of the soldiers stationed in the Philippines during the spanish colonization were Mexicans..not Spaniards

❤❤❤

Then why all you come to the states

You can. Actually, by naturalization process. Even full Americans or full whatever country they're from, they can apply by naturalization process. It's mostly done in sports. A famous Canadian and also a Syrian CZcamsrs in the Philippines did this process too. They're Filipinos now by naturalization. Dual Citizen's it is, I know for the Canadian, I don't know about the Syrian if Syria accepts dual citizenship or he already took off his Syrian citizenship and replaced it by becoming a Filipino citizen. But yeah, I think it can work out for you. Search about it.

Beautiful country 🇵🇭🇵🇭 culture,food,and friendly people. My wife is from Malolos Bulacan. From South Texas

Doodad.... I'm sure your journey rediscovering your Filipino-ness inspired him to rethink his origins.

Im proud being a Filipino my inner spirit being a Warrior of this world are awaken amazing. Mahalin ang sariling wika!

She should be a National Artist.

The consensus among serious Filipino history scholars and writers is St. Malo was likely settled in the early eighteenth century, sometime between 1820 and 1840. The 1763 date was included in a book published in the 1980s and was based on a dubious source. Unfortunately, the mid-seventeenth century date has been widely cited in subsequent publications. This in no way diminishes the historical importance of St. Malo or the courageous Filipinos who settled and thrived in the “reedy swamps south of Lake Borgne.” They carved out a living under difficult conditions, competed and worked alongside other ethnic groups, some hostile, survived hurricane disasters and other calamities, and contributed to the remarkable early history of Filipinos in North America and to the United States. Their history should be celebrated and shared with the world. Regarding Jean Lafitte, he operated a pirate enterprise based in Barataria Bay and preyed on Spanish and English ships. It is possible that some Filipinos joined Lafitte or were impressed into service as crewmembers. During the War of 1812, American Forces overtook Barataria Bay, putting an end to Lafitte’s operation. If Filipino sailors (pirates) were part of this captured group, there are court records indicating that captured noncombatants were allowed to serve for the U.S. in the war as a means to gain their freedom. There are contemporary stories about Filipinos serving as a fighting unit alongside General Andrew Jackson who were largely responsible for winning the war. Those accounts appear to be highly exaggerated or completely fabricated. It was an informative and fun video. Thank you for sharing your adventure.
