We'll explore the reasons why Mexicans came to the Philippines, their impact on local society, and how they integrated into the diverse cultural fabric of the country. We'll also look at the present-day legacy of this historic connection and examine how it continues to influence the Philippines today. Join us for a journey into the unexpected and fascinating world of Mexican immigration to the Philippines. #philippines #filipino #filipinoamericanhistory #mariosfilipinochannel #pinoy #mexican
What do you think of the Mexicans in the Philippines? I think this is great! Mexicans and filipinos are primos. Thanks.
Mexicans are selling crystal meth in the Philippines.
in that time the Galeon was Called La Nao de China
Also, many Filipinos stayed in Mexico by way of the Manila Galleon and settled along Mexico's southwestern coast. I'm Mexican-American and my fiancée lives in Cebu and I've been there numerous times and at times I feel like I'm in Mexico when I'm in the Philippines and I've seen people there that resemble Mexicans. In northern Cebu they make pintos which resemble tamales and they also make a dish called balbacua which resembles barbacoa.
Hi Sam, I actually did a few video's about filipinos in Mexico. Check out my playlist. I have 3 more videos about Mexicans and filipinos. Thanks for watching and your comments. Viva Mexico!
@mariosfilipinochannel hi Mario, that's great, I'll check them out! It's really amazing that the historic connection exists between the Philippines and Mexico and so few people realize it. I really enjoy watching videos and reading about the connection between the two cultures, viva las Filipinas!
@@ShanghaiSam1 I made a video called "Mexipinos". You should check that out too. Thanks, Sam!
Greeting to my Filipino brothers and sisters, from a Mexican brother in Hawaii 🇵🇭 🇲🇽
Viva Mexico!
Philippines helped Mexico gain independence and Mexico helped Philippines gain independence. Lot of fighters in each revolution from both countries.
That is true! thanks.
@@mariosfilipinochannel The Meican pilots bombed the Japanese ships in the Pacific in WW II. The Azteca Squadron. Help free the Philippines from the Japanese.
The 1582 Cagayan battles against foreign pirates included Mexican natives fighting alongside Filipinos.
@@ShanghaiSam1 thanks for the info, I did not know this.
@mariosfilipinochannel you're welcome, I really enjoy learning about the historical connection between the Philippines and Mexico, I'm Mexican-American and my fiancée lives in Cebu and sometimes I feel like I'm in Mexico when I'm there. I really enjoy visiting the Philippines!
Sombreros and the distillation technique for making tequila came from Philippines too! What people think is Mexican is actually Filipino.
good point! thanks!
I would disagree to a certain extent. Filipinos did not create tequila/mezcal, Filipinos introduced a certain type of distilation technique which the Mexican people ADDED to their understanding of agave fermentation. The Mexican people already had everything else, the Filipino's gave them the thing that helped bring it all together. Tequila/Mezcal is a specifically Mexican thing, which the Filipinos in history helped contribute to.
No that came from prehispanic times
Tequila is agave spirits from Jalisco exclusively-it has to be from that state and that state only. The Aztecs made fermented drinks close to agave spirits but European techniques were used to refine it to a higher proof.
That’s such a lie it’s not even funny. These techniques are native and ancient to the natives in Mexico. Mexico and the Philippines are nothing a like. Stop spreading false information about Mexico.
I shall now also claim that I'm Mexican as well! Gracias!
You should!
@@mariosfilipinochannel VIVA LA MEXICO VIA NUEVA ESPANA!!!!!
@mariosfilipinochannel greetings hermanito,
I thought I'd follow up with you. Ever since I decided to claim the Mexican Flag as part of my heritage and show people your video, I've been getting mixed responses.....and I LOVE IT!
The family/friends that I've shown so far like it and are supportive. However it's the haters online that amuse me with comments such as "don't put down our country" or even "our ancestors came directly from Spain, not Mexico"
If I decide to also identify as a Latino/Cholo/Chicano, then I may choose very well to do so! Let the haters' limited minds keep them in their small worlds!
@@d.j.el-magnifico3511 thank you brother. Historically we are closer to Mexico then Spain because of hundred of years of the Manila-Acapulco Galleon trade!
@mariosfilipinochannel I know right?
I can't believe the backlash I'm getting on IG or FB when I talk about what we discussed in your video. It's like they don't like what we're talking about!
Good info!
thanks.
Manila-Acapulco Galleons made trips twice a year. Intheir stops, a large portion of the crew disappear on either stops. Mexicans jump-ship on Manila and blend with the natives, Similarly Filipino crew diasppear in Mexico. A sizable collection of "Manila Men" lannded in western Mexico and crossed to Veera Cruz built rafts and drifted to the bayous of Luisinana where they established a community on stilts..
Can you imagine how many communities they built in Mexico, a small group of them went all the way to Lousiana. Too bad not too many people know this. Thanks.
Buti nlng may dugo akong spañol.. Thank you My Ancestors ❤
Good for you! thanks
thanks!
your welcome.
Yes, but I learned from a library in the US followed up online.
great!
That’s an information which wasn’t told I’m by my teachers thank you for sharing this ❤🤗👏👍🥳
your welcome. thanks for watching!
One Book said that the Galleon crew were Filipinos.
Yes, the ships were built in the Philippines, but most of the filipino crew deserted when they reach Mexico, they have to get Mexican crew to go back to the Philippines. Thank You!
The so-called mexican Independence of 1810 was not for native Mexican freedom. The criollos or Spanish born in Mexico took over the power. So Spanish rule was never removed until after the 1910 revolution. Mexico is not a mestizo nation just like the Filipines is not a mestizo nation. The Spanish failed to alter the Indigenous character of the Mexican people, as they failed to alter the asian character of the Filipino people. Historians always refer to the Mexican period when the Mexicans were still under Spanish rule by the Criollos. This is where many become confused. American Independence from England was accomplished by the colonist who were English themselves. They later called themselves Americans.
Good point! It's the same as the Philippines. Thank you!
This “Mexican” immigration you’re referring to is very small and didn’t effect the Filipino population at all. Even when the Spanish colonized the Philippines, less than 1-3% of the population in the Philippines have Spanish blood. There is even less Mexican blood there in the Philippines. Just because a few migrated there, doesn’t mean we are brothers or are the same. The amount of people who moved to the Philippines was very small.
The Mexican influence is clear in the Philippines. Our Peso came from the Mexican Peso. Our food Adobo came from the Mexican Adobo. Our barong tagalog came from Mexico. there is a town in Pampanga called Mexico. The list goes on. Thank you for your comment.
Both countries are colonized by Spain which Philippines is even a bit longer, it's just less Spaniards or Mexicans intermarriaged with the locals, and Americans stopped the Filipinos to learn & speak Spanish. The white & brown-skinned and chinky- eyed Filipinos are not even from Philippines, they are immigrants too from China, Indonesia, Malaysia, & Taiwan. If only Spanish was retained which once a national language till 1989, then Philippines is even more Hispanic than Mexico & other Latin American countries, it's just we do not look Iberian.
