Jews expelled in Germany.. the Philippines took them as refugee. There is also one island where vietnamese were given a place to live in the philippines.. PH is a 3rd world economy with a 1st world Humanity
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Were not 3rd world country before were like in 1st or 2nd until the corruption happened

@@Matt-ki3bn your fukin wrong dude the american occupation was the only reason why we were the most developed country in asia but once they left economy started to go down really slowly and then marcos came and made hight but his second term ruined our country and fhen after that we were considered as a 3rd world country
@@Matt-ki3bn my point is we were always a 3rd world country
I'm Russian and I have lived here more than 30 years in Russia, but never heard of this story. It's absolutely fantastic. Thank you Philippines!
Tear droppin story.
Russian are always welcome here in the Philippines...
@tk421missing idiot
There are still American POW's, whom you guys never returned that defended the White Russian railroads to the end. They died forgotten in forced Russian labor slave camps. Franklin Delano Roosevelt forgot about them when he needed you Russklies to fight against the Germans. 😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞
@tk421missing dude what the heck
I'm Russian and this part of history just amazed me, these people overcame so much and they wouldn't cope without help of Filipinos. I send all the best wishes to such a great country and people🇷🇺❤🇵🇭
I'm a Filipino and even though Filipinos are helpful to other the country " PHILIPPINES is still $hit
we need to do what is good and put aside selfishness and that is the heart of Filipinos. Helping others is heartwarming.
As a filipino, we help people in need without waiting in return.
🇷🇺♥️🇵🇭

I'm Australian, living in Mindanao with my Filipina wife, and I have a great love for the Filipino people, and for the beauty of the Philippines. I knew that the Philippines accepted Jewish refugees from Germany when no other country would, but I had never heard about the White Russian refugees in the Philippines. My late wife in Australia was from a Latvian family. Her parents emigrated to Australia in 1949, around the same time as the resettlement of the White Russians. It is possible some of the people we knew in the Latvian community in Australia may have come to Australia in the way described here.
Awesome brother
@@DjMibulos God bless the Philippines for their generosity.
I watch another video, they lived in samar for 4 yrs before other countries open for white Russian such as USA, Canada, Germany and Australia.
God bless brother
Vietnamese refugees also
Philippines maybe poor country.. dont have powerful military power.. but when trouble comes.. philippines will protect other country not by military power but the power of kindness and heart..

Rai Dongsu ones Philippines are one of the most richest country in Asia until this politician come in and take all the money that belong to the Philippine..we are now starting all over again may God save our president duterte and our beloved country amen..
I just want to share that one of the white Russian refugees was my great grandfather whose name is Alexander ivanoff who settled in Zamboanga City together with his mother Parakovia ivanoff and some of his friends. He was one of the white Russian soldiers who fled Russia during that time. Am proud to be a Filipino and at the same time a Russian in blood.
Are you still living in the Philippines?
where in zamboanga?
Muy bien! Live long brother!
Sounds interesting. Naa pa mo dre sa pinas
Pres.Duterte said it also
In 2010 I moved from Calif USA to the Philippines. The people here are the sweetest, friendliest most hospitable people I've ever met. I just watched how under Manuel Quezon they saved something like 1200 jews from the Holocaust just before WW2. Now this about welcoming the White Russians. The Philippines is my home now and I found my sweet asawa here. Every day seems like the happiest day of my life. The Filipino people have every reason to be proud. God bless the Philippines.
God bless you. Mabuhay ka.
Thank you bro, welcome home. We've got your back.
We give not because we have a lot. We give because we know what it feels like to have nothing.
EXACTLY! To those who has nothing, something so little is a lot.
And because it is the most precious thing in the world, the gift of being free, of being alive.
True if you experince having nothing you will understand everything in here
Pres.quezon: we will accept jewish refigees.
.
Pres.quirino: we will accept russian refugees.
Pres duterte: we accept china.

@bsroxasjr
And during President Quezon's time there was a plan to welcome 10,000 German Jews to the Philippines but only 1,300 got through because WW2 broke out and Japan invaded the Philippines.

Filipinos and Russians: **Casually trading with Breads**
yep
Hey shitass with RTX on, you Filipino?
That's Wholesome
We eat rice everyday but sometimes bread is a staple food in the morning
Tuwang tuwa mga russian ei nandito sa pilipinas wala daw beach sa kanila HAHAH unang araw pa lang nagsiligo na mga bata apaka wholesome
We may be portrayed by some as a country of cockroaches, slum areas, poor, governed by corrupt officials, traffic jams and other worst images but one thing for sure, I am proud to be a Filipino whose bravery, patriotism, resilience, hardwork, love of family and hospitality have been proven and tested many times in history even at present! We may have encountered many disasters and challenges in life but we can still afford to smile and laugh at them. We may be considered among the poorest but we cannot deny food and drinks to any visitor especially during celebrations. Our houses may not be as grand as the others but we can always welcome those who need shelter. We may be in pain but still we are capable of providing comfort. I am a Filipino and I am very much proud to be one!
😭👍👍👍
AnkhTon Horus the media portrays the philippines to be bad and poor.

President Quirino, one great Filipino with a big heart for other people of the world,
A citizen of the world! May his tribe increase!
Keep it

Tubabao Odyssey: Refuge In The Philippines. It should be made into a movie. A great history like this should be shared with all the Filipinos and to the world.
I would also say preferably written in books, files on computers or cellphones can get deleted or disappear when there's so many but while in historical book, it will be there to open to read
This was not taught in school when I was a student. This is a significant part of history. Amazing! Thank you LORD for using the Philippines as an instrument for your purpose.
They just focused on tilling nonoy is a hero.
This part of Philippine history would never have been known, were it not for the efforts of Annaliza Gonzales, former mayor of Guiuan, Eastern Samar, her daughter Kinna Kwan (who did first-hand research and production of the video) and the President Elpidio Quirino Foundation. Kinna traveled to several countries to interview some of the original refugees and their descendants, as well as some Filipinos who made friends with the White Russians and told part of the story, in order to portray an accurate accounting of how President Quirino and the Philippine Government played a big role in saving the lives of over 6,000 White Russians who were escaping Communist tyranny, first during the Russian Revolution and later during the Communist takeover of mainland China. Lastly, I am proud to have been part of that history.
Wow..Thank you Mayor Annaliza Gonzales and to her daughter Kinna Kwan.. This is a very touching history on how Filipino help other Nations in times like this..As a Filipino we must very proud...
wow!!
Wow...amazing...mabuhay 📿

Why is this not taught in our schools? I feel like we Filipinos still don't know a LOT of things from our history.
Historians kasi natin nka focus sa politika ng mga dilawan
Our history books are limited to days of Colonialism, Independence then Politics.
Time to re write Philippines History
Edsa revolution story is Bad history it dont do any good to the Philippines
@@jehmarsedigo4968 yeah, I don't get why they keep teaching us such an utterly useless, insignificant and irrelevant thing... like as if the Philippines became better after that, it even went downhill from there... the huge EDSA 'Revolution' was one huge joke being treated like a historical achievement.
Ty Philippines 🇵🇭 from Russia 🇷🇺 ❤️
Thanks too Russian we love you from Philippines! God bless Russia!
After watching the Jews refugees to the Philippines by Manuel L. Quezon, CZcams recommended this video. Another refugees story. I was so touched and at the same time proud that our presidents had such a huge heart. Elpidio Quirino and Manuel L Quezon are truly remarkable for show the hospitality of the Filipinos. ❤💙
I think kindness to others No matter the race is part our Filipino DNA which can still be experienced at the present and hopefully until the future.
Philippines also had vietnamese refugees and also our country helped south korea
@@YouuTubeTrendsAnd millennial South Koreans looked down and bully Filipinos.
This is probably one of the reasons why a lot of students in the Philippines find History boring. A piece of history like this should be taught in schools and is very interesting as well. It's so disappointing that a lot of Filipinos don't know about this.
YEP
Not for me I love history
Me too but all of it just went in the rug because after all we have promblem from politics
i remembered the Open Door policy, but my teachers kind of glossed over it pretty quickly. it's too bad that they never elucidated us on the subject, as it's quite fascinating.
some of these White Russians live near me in the US as well. you just never know people's history, you know?

President Quirino is probably the nicest President ever lived. Not only did he release Japanese soldiers back to Japan after the war but he also opened his country that is badly damaged by the war to people in need. When I read the story about how he forgave the Japanese and released them knowing that those same people was the same people who took his wife and children's life blew my mind away. It must've been the hardest decision he had ever made in his life. Specially with the anger of the Filipino people towards the Japanese army. I truly commend him from the bottom of my heart. I salute to you Mr. President.

This is so inspiring. I bet a lot of Filipinos didn't know this story nor such thing exist. Hearing their "Thank You's" at the end brought me to tears.😭
Neither did I...I'm a filipino but I was shocked about this side of the story..
Joi-Joi XD they don't even know what they real own history because of lack of knowledge
Exactly! The only one they taught us In our history is hatred against Marcos. Without media I will never know that Quezon did a good job for homeless people during world war 2.This kind of good deeds must teach to young ones now adays.
I myself, friends, and families don’t know these histories and I was shocked when I found about it like three months ago. When I told this to my Mom and other families they were shock too
@@dawnureta941 yes the things written in the books/textbooks. but our teacher acrually tell us the truth. what marcos really did.

"We, Philippines, will accept these people". Gave me goosebumps man.
😭 😭 😭

And we Filipinos ourselves never knew this SECRET for decades! I was shocked it happened right on our very own land.Why the government didn't let us know? Why the heck never mentioned it? IT'S A SIGNIFICANT HISTORY THAT SHOULD BE TAUGHT TO OUR SCHOOL AND TO THE WORLD.
The Jewish refugees were always in the news but very few about the White Russians.
Luckily, there are still those in the camp that still alive to share the story ❤
Di pa kasi uso ang computer at iPhone nun 😂😂😂
well, i think these are not intentionally hidden. I came across some of these information two decades ago because I enjoy visiting libraries. I believe that these accomplishments cannot be adequately captured in textbooks alongside our broader history. It's our responsibility to engage in research and exploration.
Yes indeed. Take note the Department of Education and CHED
It's really extraordinary that the people who have the least are those that are more willing to help people that are in need.
Yeahhhh and mostly all pilipino had that kind of heart
It's empathy. No one knows suffering better than those who felt it too.
Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa you’re wrong. The Philippines was a well to do country up until the 60s. It is still a wealthy and rich country. Perhaps, you’re referring to people being cash-poor. :)
@@hillroberts1311 compare to other countries we are poor. He meant that ... But we still accepted them without second thoughts.☺️☺️
we may be cash poor, but it is ingrained in us that we are rich. that's why it's easy for an average Filipino to give even if they have less, to smile even if they themselves are sad. we are always taught that the world is not about ourselves, but about us as a community.
i'm always glad (and proud) that we are practicing Catholics. not just Christians because we memorize the Bible, but true Christians because we practice what the "word of God" teaches.
We Filipinos gave them an island for refuge, and with that & nothing else, they managed to create a city/camp with 14 districts, dam& organized workplace. Wow, that is something we should learn from them.
All people with creature comforts can learn from that,when people focus they can accomplish allot.
Meh. We just accomodated them until America gave the go signal to live in there for good.

As someone who grew up in the Philippines, and considers it a second home, I am moved by this story, and so very grateful to those who put this beautiful documentary together. So many people don't know how kind, generous, and welcoming the Filipino people are, and have never experienced the magnificence of their country. To all of the Philippines, may you continue to be a place of love, hope, welcome, and refuge to all who come to your shores. Mabuhay!
Thank you!

As was mentionned before, the Philippines had and still have a very open culture. Humanity runs strong in the heart of most Filipinos. I remember the big vietnamese refugee camps in Palawan I did visit over 30 years ago. I am married to a Filipina for 32 years and I love the people. Of over thirty countries I have visited the Philippines are probably the most hospitable place on this planet.
The world is small: One of my Pinoy nephews in Germany married a girl whose parents lived in the very same refugee camp I visited 30 years ago.
I have friends here in Switzerland with Russian and Tartare ancestors who were of noble offspring and who worked for the tsar in Siberia. I think they had also some Swiss blood allowing them to escape and live here in Berne.
Wow, thank you. As a Filipino American, this gave me a chill. I am not saying this because I am Filipino but I always tell my husband who is British that the Philippines might be poor in material things but definitely, we are not poor in spirit! We are not only hospitable, friendly but most of all compassionate!
We never heard this story when we were in grade school. All they taught us was the bullshit rivalry of Marcos and Aquino. They really need to put this in history text books for Ph elementary schools.
Exactly! Masyadong ni romanticize ang EDSA at ang mga Aquinos. Though, we could say they were part of the History pero I don't see any significance on what they did that had impact up to these day. Unlike the other Presidents, such as Pres. Quirino and Pres. Quezon they made great contribution to humanity. Smh-

is home to the most loving and caring people on earth.
When the world turned its back on Israel, we opened our doors to them. When the world turned its back on South Korea, we stayed and fought their enemies, one against forty. When the Vietnamese reached our shores, we welcomed them with hugs and meals.
Am really proud being a Filipino 💝
So proud and glad to have seen this video. I am a Filipino and baptized by a Russian Orthodox Church and met one of the Russian woman who goes to same Russian Orthodox church as me who was in this camp. Thank you for this. Truly proud!

Oh that’s why i only came to know of this now!
it aint a luxurious life when they entered the philippines but hey its the safest place during that time for them
For all the cringe comment section. This make the most sense
🥺🥺🥺💕
What refugee has luxury? It’s survival, having a place to settle. When then Filipino Pres Quirino took them with open arms and later visited the camp and ordered putting down the fence, in their own words, it was a symbol of acceptance and hospitality, not to be treated as refugees but as part of the community. Humanity at it’s best. Anyone would take that over being imprisoned, worse killed by the communists.
up to this day Filipinos continue to save lives everyday all over the world! just look in any hospital all over the world you will see so many Filipino Nurses saving lives!
Everyday Filipinos saving lives of others all over the world. Frontliner here and im proud to be a Filipino.
Filipino nurses and Nanny's as well

@Ryan Lajara me too.
One thing I noticed between Filipinos and other nationalities is that, multiple calamities or war can never break a filipino and that's what we want others to acquire. As long as you're alive, there's still a chance to have a good life. To Russians, we love you.. humanity is part of our DNA and so is yours.

I am a Filipino and I just discovered this several years ago since it wasn't in any history books. Maybe it would be nice if this is included in books. There are a lot of stories happened in the past that was historical are not included in books just like the Battle of Yultong, How Philippines saved/rescued Russians, Jewish and Vietnamese and etc. It makes me feel like what they have taught in school is not the whole history, there's a lot of thing we actually do not know of.
Our history books had to be approved by Americans. They could not portray Filipinos as too heroic or too good because they had to keep us controlled. This is slowly changing as people seek truth.
"We Philippines accept these people" the time my tears fell.
That flower that extremely fragrant at night perhaps is the Dama de Noche - Lady of the night. Its fragrance is calming the soul. Fear not the night.
"When you're young, you don't think of the rest of your life. You just live... Everything's beautiful, sunshine, moonlight. But as you grow older, and you begin to reminisce about your life. And that deed, that the Philippine government did, it changed everybody's life. Forever greatful.... Forever greatful.... " Very inspiring and touching!
i felt my heart stop beating when the lady said she is gorever greatful..i cant help it but cry..it only shows that the philippinea is the land of hospitable people.
😭
Grateful
I agree, "grateful"....stopped beating
Thank you for this production….it is beautiful…may our country Philippines,leaders and citizenry continue to uphold what the previous leaders of our land did what is good and what is right…God bless Philippines.

My tears fall at the end 😢😢😢 .. They were thanking the Philippines for giving them shelter to live and protection for there lives .. What a tremendous job for our Pres. Quirino i hope someone will acknowledged his heroism ... I hope that they should put this story to our history textbook so the younger generation will knows about this .. Me either i didnt know that this story was happen to my country .. After i watched this .. Thanks for eye opening story .. 😊👍❤

@@yuangarcia1512 tiktok ba source mo? HAHHAHAHAHA
@@yuangarcia1512 Marcos made the Philippines 3rd world country
Our history teachers owe us alot. They didn't taught about this. Thanks to youtube.
We all live in the same planet we should spread love not hate, because love will never go wrong 💖. I'm proud being a pilipino.
Now am trying to connect the dots. When typhooon yolanda hit The Philippines, Russian came to the rescue earlier.Just a thought and yes, we are forever grateful for the love and support when we needed them the most. Both times were similar that they were driven by love for humanity. Thank you for sharing this awesome story i had never known even though i am passionate about Philippine History. I may not know but this piece of hope and resilience deserves a spot in our Philippine History.
eh .papano purp aquino ang mababasa mong matino sa part ng philippine history
When God showered us with KINDNESS, we Filipinos are there
The experience of watching this was a amazing! But as a filipino, I'm saddened that this wasn't taught to us in school. I should have known this - filipinos should have known these parts of the history. Maybe, that's why a lot of filipino students get bored in history is because these parts weren't taught. But not to me, I would forever love learning our history and roots.
I am overwhelmed by how our country saved the lives of these white russians and refugees - as how our country saved the jews - and I also admire the russians there for their resiliency! Now, I also appreciated the talents and hopefulness of these russians! They are absolutely the reason why they survived as well! If they didn't do something or just depended in the Philippines so much, they wouldn't have lived a life like that. But no, they made their ways to continue living even with a lot of struggles that they weren't used to face such as the typhoons and the problems on foods and tents. I am so happy to watch this! Thank you so much! This is so wonderful! Love from the Philippines!🇵🇭
If the Syrian, Afghan, African & other refugees coming to Europe esp entereng in Greece or Italy are encouraged to do the same what the russian refugees did in the Philippines ( building their own camps, schools, hospital etc.) the refugee problem & racism here in Europe would soon be eased if not resolved.
Refugees here are not given chance to work, all are just depending on what the govt decides to do for them.
Can someone suggest that to EU Comission dealing with refugee problems?
My eyes begins to form a tears the history Tubabao Odyssey, refuge in PHILIPPINES God bless 🇵🇭🇷🇺🇵🇭🇷🇺🇵🇭🇷🇺
I have never heard of this story before until Yolanda hit Eastern Visayas. Russians went back to Tubabao Island to help the people recover. My brother in law is from this island. I first set foot on their shores as part of the rehabiliation team for an NGO.
I never knew that....it was not in the news that the russians went to leyte to help. Can you enlighten us? So when they heard it..they immediately went directly to leyte?
Thank you for your help for our countrymens

This documentary film should be taught not only to all filipinos but to the world, what a bigger heart we have...and experiences by the people is a lifetime worth remembering, good things never die, as what other people says there is no forever..there is, the good things..
God Bless the Philippines!
Such a beautiful history but never taught in school here in philippines they only taught us how to hate marcos in school. Spread love and respect ❤
i hate aquino
Blame the DEPEd - and the law makers...
Agree!
I agree..
Thats how they brain wash filipinos about history . Marcos is a great pres. Of phil. When corazon A. came the phil. Becoming currupt and weak .
My family went through Tubabao with 8 members, and left with 9, my older sister was born on the island. Myself and two other sibling born in us. We have many photos of the family time spent there. Most of Tubabao Russians are dying off, all my family that were there are gone!
❤ from Philippines
Sad to hear about the member but im happy that you are commenting...
Your comment proves that this is true
Tubabao, in Visayas part of the Philippines???
My Father was a teenager there. God bless you all as he has also passed. God also bless all those who made Tubabao possible.
As far as I knew philippines used to had a good economy back then - this part of Philippines history never heard of - it's good to know about this act of humanitarian kindness I might say....thank you
I loved History since I was in grade school to high school. I was one of the few kids that actually listens to what a history teacher says.
It's sad and disappointing that there's still so much in Philippine history that we don't know of because it wasn't in our textbooks back then or wasn't tackled that much.
April 2020
Locked down, pandemonic covid-19.
Nostalgia, watching documentaries about my country Philippines - never heard and read about these things. Jewish refugees, Filipino soldiers helping in Korean war, Filipino soldiers helping during Vietnam wars, welcoming boatmen from Vietnam, refugees from Russia etc.
Please re-write Phippine History. 😭😭...so far I can only remember Marcos vs Aquino 😕
Wahahahahaha mas maganda pa manood ng mga sinabi mo kesa mag fb ang toxic next mona about Kay ex president marcos
BRAVO TO YOU, ANN ANN. THE WORLD KNOWS IMELDA'S SHOES!!!!
Same hahaha

@@stoicf5782 stupidity!! 😂😂
Even they are old now they still remember the beauty of the Philippines and Pres. Quirino..
This documentary is overwhelming.♥️♥️♥️
Oh, you bet! Highlight of my early teen years. Thank you!
I can't help shedding tears listening to the stories told, the difficulties the refugees had to endure as they were all uncertain of everything but had to be bright in spirit trusting in God that "there will always be a light at the end of a tunnel". My beloved country, the Philipines, may be a third world country BUT number one in showing kindness and love to others who seek refuge, my big admiration to the late Presidents Elpidio Quirino and Manuel L. Quezon
I am from the Philippines what i can say is that, we are all brothers and sisters living in the same sun the same moon one god , the god the father...
Philippines is like a loving embrace of God. May the God continue to bless the Philippines. My brothers continue to pray for this country its leaders and people.
🙏mahal kita
YES I AM.
Philippine Phoenix thank u, we might be poor but we are loving people.
I have never been to the Philippines but I have heard a lot of good things about the PI.
Malapit na tayong lumaya sa kasinungalingan ngayong nabubunyag na ang nakaraan ay puno ng bahid ng kasinungalingan.. the history tell it self that we are rich..
I couldn't help but to cry when the lady said "she's forever greatful" you could almost feel her overwhelming sencerety when she said those words as she repeated it twice. i totally felt all the emotions she was trying show as if i lived the life she had. it was very heartwarming.
Grateful sis. May be clerical error.
Oo nga😭😭😭😭😭💜💜💜
Sir/Mam Happy, me too... It was a really warm "thank you",the sincerity and love was really there. God bless po
I'm proud to be a Filipino. We are big part of history helping our brothers out there. Maybe we lack of wealth but our spirit of Hospitality and care for other Nations are overflowing. Mabuhay Pilipinas 😊🇵🇭🇵🇭
Sending love and prayers all over the world from us here 🇵🇭❤
This is the right time to say "I'm proud to be a filipino". ❤

That Philippines and the Philppine people makes unique and they call us, as a Philippines and the people are special. Why I say this? Because I heard it long time ago from other people. At that I didn't understand what they meant, but now I do.
