  • How did the Filipinos help colonize the United States? Today we're going to be discussing a brief history of the Philippines and it's relation to the US, Mexico, Spain and just how early Filipino immigrants helped pave the way for future settlers in Alaska, Hawaii, Louisiana and elsewhere!

    The fact that Filipinos were in the Americas before Columbus and fought along side them through the civil war, then fighting against them in the Philippines. What really gets me is that throughout my school year, nothing was ever told in about Filipinos in history books but every other race was. It so sad that Filipinos in the Philippines and America don't have a clue of our Ancestors even before the Spaniards. Just makes you think how the world treated Filipinos. And yet Filipinos still have kind, loving hearts. And warmly welcome anyone into their home with a genuine smile.

      I think someone did keep the true history tho. They were able to hide and protect their religious and holistic powers (which is still considered the most powerful healers on earth in some voodoo communities) and there martial arts practices (again used mainly by all the special forces in the world and still one of the most effective techniques) even tho thousands of years of colonizers tried beating it out of them. Hoping the knowledge would die off eventually. If you think about it it's amazing that they are able to have kept anything at all, yet they did. So they obviously are master of hiding stuff in the open lol.

    Filipinos the only Americans who were unAmericaned.
    So many manongs came to the U.S. with the ideals of America that their teachers taught them. Only to be faced with the early 20th century racism mixed with the economic downturn that came with the great depression. Having fought with their fellow Americans in World War II, and the home islands suffering under occupation, the general opinion of the Filipino changed. But the oligarchy who wanted to solidify their control still looked forward to immigration, and with GA MacArthur present, independence of the Philippines took place on 4 July 1946.
    Yet even until today, in the Philippines, Filipinos still have a high opinion of the United States, and the lucky thousands a year continue to immigrate to the United States. 20% of nurses in California are FilAms. When multiracial FilAms are taken into account Pinoys and Pinays are the second largest Asian American ethnicity in the Nation. Many continue to serve in the U.S. Navy, as their forefathers did generations before (who established large FilAm communities near military bases).

      I used to believe that it was a Filipino that circumnavigated the globe too. Magellan had a Malay slave whom was later known as Enrique who was probably the first to sail around the planet but he was most likely ethnic Malay. When Magellan arrived in Cebu, Enrique was used as an interpreter with the Cebuanos but they most likely spoke in Old Malay which was the lingua franca and not Cebuano.

      Magellan came close to completing it though, he actually went to Malacca in the Malay peninsula a decade before he went to the Philippines. He got Enrique as a slave from Malacca. I guess he got there through the Indian Ocean.

      Enrique was a malaysian/indonesian since he came from malacca and sumatra but we never know maybe he was a visiting lucoes described by the portuguese to have come from the philippines but at this point he was brought by magellan on his voyage around the globe in hopes of translating but when they reached mactan around cebu. old bisaya cebuano was probably close enough and related enough to old malacca malay under the austronesian language family that they understood each other enough. enrique was probably not the main leading navigator but sebastian elcano who was a spanish basque navigator who took over after portuguese magellan died in mactan around cebu

      Not sure about the Filipino part, but an Austronesian (Malay-Polynesian) being the first to circumnavigate the world is very plausible. In fact many years ago I heard that there was a doctoral student who was working on his thesis that our forbears actually accomplished this feat as they were master navigators.

      It wasn't that much of a stretch considering that the first trans pacific trade known as the Manila-Acapulco Galleon was already in place before the thirteen colonies comprising the US declared her independence from British Empire. It's not just the goods that are exchanged but also the people on both sides of the Pacific and who would have known where the Filipinos could have ended up in the New World.

    Hi Masaman, I really like your videos. You give so much details about the history and race. Just like your many viewers, I learn a lot. Please make a video of the interracial exchange between Filipinos and Latin America, specifically Mexico during Manila-Acapulco Galleon Trade which lasted for hundreds of years. It was the first and only transport system that connected Asia and the great American continent. I’d like to know how many Filipinos came to Mexico and as well as Mexicans and American Indians came to the Philippines espeially in the Visayas. I believe I have indian/mexican ancestry. I’m really fascinated by the courage of these men to sail for many months and leave their families. They were the trailblazers towards building a great Asian-American relationship.

    One thing that is less well known is how many Filipinos are in rural areas of the US. Many nurses and doctors were recruited from the Philippines to go to rural areas since there was a shortage of medical personnel with interest in going to rural areas. If you go to places as diverse as southern Illinois or Alabama, you will find filipino doctors in small towns.

    Awesome video.....and very educational... I was one of those Alaskero's working in the Canary processing salmon and salmon eggs to be shipped to Japan... I was in my "high school years" when I would go to Alaska to work during my 'summer off from school" and would come back in time for school to start again....so I never had a summer break like most "American kids" did during high school...but I did not regret any of the time spent working in Alaska because I was able to help my parents so they do not need to spend money on things I needed for school.....I had money from when I use to work in the Canary in Alaska and that was enough for me to last throughout the year and I would repeat the process again the following year. This was in King Cove....travel to Cold Bay then to Sand Point and after Sand Point....board a fishing boat on to King Cove Alaska....that's how we were brought to work in Alaska in the fisheries canning industry. I remember Mam Maggie, she was a "native of Alaska" in King Cove and she was a wonderful lady.....she has since past away....but she was the "sweetest lady" that was not a Filipino but she loved being with Filipino people. King Cove is a beautiful place.

    Filipinos are one of the misunderstood Races of all😂😂😂.., some people will call us hispanic due to Spanish colonization, some call us Chinese because of Chinese immigration, some call us a westernized nation due to americans. But little did they knew before the spaniards arrived during 1500s. Philippines is a fluoreshing Culture and has alot of seperated kingdoms from Luzon, visayas and Mindanao, The Tagalogs has their own kingdom, the Visayan people has their own too, mindanao has a unique kingdom also. Additional info Philippines has a writing system too tagalogs used baybayin, visayans used badlit and Mindanao. Filipino People are only seperated with their mother tongues when You asked me what place i came from. When i tell you im an Ilonggo people will know you came from an island of visayas. Or when you answer im an Igorot you are from the Mountain province. Thats how we know people in the Philippines.
