izzylovesjams they’re Hispanic

JahForeva 808 I don't think that bc they are in the asia area

izzylovesjams Their location is in Asia, but not their roots. The Spanish came and raped, or repopulated with, the Austronesians inhabiting the islands. Creating Filipinos. The Spanish conquered and ruled the Philippines for 300 years. And the Spanish named the Philippines after their King, Philips II. There’s a lot of Spanish in the language and a lot of Filipinos have Spanish last names. After the 300 year reign in the Philippines, the Spanish colonization fell to rebellion or something, I honestly don’t know, America occupied the Philippines. During this, the Americans attempted to erase a lot of Spanish influences from the Filipino culture. They did a great job, but the Spanish aspects will always be in the language and in the names. Also, in dancing because a lot of Filipinos naturally can dance and move smoothly to music. But I digress. Spanish repopulated with Austronesians, creating Filipinos.

American Pop Culture with the types of Moana and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson have added the brains of new generation Fil-Ams who look up to these personas as their ethnic role models. Never and not even once have primary to tertiary education in the Philippines have labelled Filipinos as Pacific Islanders but as ASIANS. But who are we to dispute the Fil-Ams if they wish to be identified as Pacific Islanders as if that's their fantasy then let them believe that as long as they don't include genuine homegrown Pinoys in their confusion.

@@robertoiiigianzon1623 sadly theyre on tiktok now. im seeing kids saying were pacific islanders

So let them live their own fantasies. They after all are no longer fully indictrinated in our history and Culture but by a foreign one. We on the otherhand whom were born and bred in our beloved motherland knows exactly what facts and truths are and not some displaced Pinoy descents living thousands of miles away being born and bred in a foreign Land clueless about their true heritage and history. But what exactly is an American but an amalgation of displaced foreigners on Native Anerinduan Land. Their Culture and history is but just recent and manufactured compared to ours.

​@@robertoiiigianzon1623 Well, some Filipino-Americans weren't just satisfied by identifying as Pacific Islanders but they also had the gall to coin the terms Filipinx and Pinxy and put those in Dictionary.com. They should've described the terms specific to the 'Filipino diaspora in the United States of America or Americans of Filipino descent' but they really had to include the 'natives or inhabitants of the Philippines'. I understand the Filipino diaspora's need for such terms but those terms are not relevant to the natives. I just checked and apparently the said dictionary changed their previous definitions to 'people of Philippine origin or descent, especially those living in the United States'. Finally, that digital dictionary heard the natives' concerns and revised their definitions which are now better suited to the diaspora. And speaking of Disney's Moana, I'm glad that Southeast Asians are going to have a representation in the form of Raya and the Last Dragon. Maybe the diaspora will get to embrace that they're Asians. Also, I feel like this video didn't really address the title or question. Since he's in the land of Uncle Sam whilst advocating Philippine history, I'm wondering if he considers himself Asian or Pacific Islander or both...

Well it's America. What could you expect? Lot's of weird people there.

Thank you! Aswang project ba to?

Still Pacific islanders.

@Mandrake Dawgski Mexican, American influences more, only chinese food like pancit noodles, chow king, lumpia are chinese influence because of the chinese immigrated to the Philippines.

@Mandrake Dawgski Very true, they don't do enough research, as I've mentioned here in my post, it all began in the early 60's when the chinese students in Berkley protested they were being mistreated something like that so they asked the filipino students to help and asked them to join them and so the filipinos became Asian all of a sudden. Of course filipinos are Pacific islanders.

In fact Philippines was influenced by China before the Spaniards and in fact the country in Oceana was not influenced by China so that’s how America got themselves confused.

our race is not predominantly from Malaysia infact the Early Austronesian Filipinos are also populated significant most part of malaysia that the reason why we look alike because our ancestors also populated the country of Malaysia. But I can't deny that the people from Malaysia and Indonesia also settled our country but the Austronesian peoples from East Asia ( Taiwan and China) was populated the Philippines and when the Austronesian from the North already reaching all over the Philippines and indeed they populated the country. The Early Austronesian Filipino also reaching most of Indonesia and Malaysia that the reason why we Filipinos, Malaysia and Indonesian Sharing same physical Appearance because of our Austronesian roots.

Islanders

Cube Thinker Everything is a blanket term. Who is really Micronesian? Who is really Polynesian? Where do we draw the line? What makes Kiribati Micronesian and not Polynesian? There’s no good way of telling who goes where. You just have to accept what the world sees you as. If the world were to see Micronesians as Asians, then i guess I’m Asian. People always group Pacific Islanders with Asians anyways. But That’s just how the world in general groups the different peoples on this earth. And I guess people see Filipinos as more culturally similar to what is stereotyped as “Asian”. And I’m not gonna speak about the Syrians because I don’t know anything about them. The reason why I’m saying Filipinos are asian is because the island way of life is not there any more. Right now, Filipino culture is more Asian. Today. As of now. Whether you want to admit it or not. Micronesians are still living the island way, just a modern version of it. The culture is Pacific Islander. The way in which they live/are is what the world sees as “Pacific Islander”. Therefore Micronesians are Pacific Islander by the world’s standards. I don’t know what’s so hard for you to understand. The Philippines has a long history with China. So in regards to your thought process does that make Filipinos Chinese? No. They are more Asian than Pacific Islander. Historically they were just like their Pacific Islander cousins but with migration, people mixing, and centuries of Spanish rule, the island way of living is not there. And in regards to my thought process of Micronesians being Filipino, the answer is no. Micronesians aren’t like the Filipinos today. The people who are called Micronesians today left before influence from China came to the Philippines. One example: Look at the food. Where did lumpia come from? Siopao? Pancit? A lot of Pacific Islanders are still in the taro patches and pounding breadfruit just like their ancestors. The cultures are different. That’s where people draw the line. That’s what’s “accepted by the world”. Try arguing with the world.

Cube Thinker I read all of it. And I apologize. I replied out of frustration also. But I hear what you’re saying about the Chamorros. It’s sad to say but they lost their original culture because of centuries of Spanish rule. So I hope they aren’t looking down on you Filipinos. They have a lot in common with Filipinos and the other Micronesians, but most of the time the Pacific Islanders bash on them because it seems like what they claim to be their “traditional” dances look Polynesian when it should look more related to Micronesian or even Filipino. Also... even though my people (Chuukese) are Micronesian like them, they look down on us too. They always tell us to go back to our islands. Yes I agree. The bad ones need to go back and stay over there, but when they say Chuukese in general, it’s just ignorant. And I think it’s sad that the “island culture” is looked down over there. They know how to live off the land. It’s one of the things they still have from the ancestors. When they are stranded somewhere they’ll know how to survive. And I see what you said about Spanish rule destroyed filipino culture. It’s the same for us with the little time that the Japanese occupied our islands. We have a lot of words that come from Japanese. The original way we dressed stopped because of them. No tattooing, no coconut shell earrings, no wooden combs, no dog teeth necklaces. lol let me get off that. Other than that I think it’s sad that the world separates us. It’s the world we live in.

TheCrazyKid1381 I know what a Filipino looks like. I know the difference between East Asians and Filipinos. I know that Filipinos are related to Pacific Islanders being that they are all Austronesian. Shxt im Micronesian. The Philippines is not too far from Micronesia. There’s a lot of Filipinos living/working/going to school in Micronesia especially in Guam. We don’t look too different from Filipinos. But I will tell you this. When people ask me what my ethnicity is I always have them guess because I’m curious to see what they think i am. People don’t really know Micronesians so whenever they guess I always get either Filipino or just Asian. And I’m saying “always” because I’ve never gotten anything else. This is how people sees Filipinos. I’m sorry if I’ve offended you.

@TheCrazyKid1381 Blame the colonizations , without those the island Luzon would be either be japanese or either chinese

Yesss!

Austronesian is a term was invented to describe a language group...not a culture. I wish people would stop misusing this term. Filipino culture is most similar to other Southeast Asians.

@@jakeplummer2477 "Austronesian" by itself refers to a language group. "Austronesian speaking people" or "Austronesian people" refers to the diverse group of genetically related people who speak those languages. They all share an ancestral group of people who spoke an original form of the language which further diversified because of migration and becoming culturally distinct from each other. Same with other language families and other groups of people.

Yes, the Philippines is a crossroad in the Pacific. therefore, the people consist of a very genetically diverse group. Geographically, million years ago the Philippines was very much part of the Pacific, near the Marianas and Guam islands hence it was previously part of the Polynesian-island grouping. However, being located near the Pacific divide, the shifting tectonic plates is pushing the Philippines nearer and nearer to the Asian mainland, hence, its present geographic location near Asia.

Both negrito filipinos and austronesian filipinos originate from asia. But, we(mainly austronesian filipinos) are more different ethnically and genetically similar to asians. Even though the islands were said to be polynesian homeland, we have grown more different over the many years. It's like africans, we all come from africa and as we traveled out the continent we have slight changes. THese changes define what is now the different human races. SO like in the philippines, polynesians moved out of the islands but they grew different than the natives of the philippines. THose polynesians and along other pacific islander groups made a more different, beatiful, and unique culture, etc. from Asia and what is now the PHilippines. These groups make up what is now called the pacific islanders. We are all part of the human race but, we have different genetics and culture and that what makes us different, that makes africans and asians different, and that what makes the pacific islanders different from filipinos.

I watched the videos of the God culture and based to their researched that some of our bloodline came from the Hebrews. If you know the hanging coffins of sagada that is one of the Hebrews culture.

The astronesians is said to come from Taiwan. However, the Han people from China displaced much of the natives, they still exist today as minorities. However, there seems to be a later reversed migration from the south to the north from Malaysia and Indonesia as we share some linguistics similarities.

@@piosian4914 Paraiso de Zambo About Zamboanga‎ > ‎ History Many Filipino historians have neglected the importance of one's provinces and town here in the Philippines . They don't give enough concentration on the other places that gives us the fact that those occurrence lead to many different aspects of our Philippine history.This article will take you back in time and experience how Zamboanga's old days is rich and meaningful In the late 12th or early 13th century, Zamboanga was founded. Subanens were the early people of Zamboanga. They were of Malay origin who came at about 6,000 to 2,500 years ago. Subanen people name it "Sung Lupa" which means "pointed land" and they called Pasonanca "Nawan" meaning "future" where they establish. They also have a leader. A Subano leader is like a Barangay Captain nowadays. His leadership is in terms of the number of families residing under his dominion. Zamboanga City was also a site of the Spanish settlement and garrison on La Caldera which is now called Barrio Recodo in 1969. This place also served as a military outpost, to protect the area from foreign invaders and Moro pirates. Upon the consent of King Philip IV, Zamboanga became the main headquarters of the Spaniards in June 23,1635 and the Spanish officialy founded the city . The Zamboanga fortress which is known as Fort Pilar were approved to build by a governor general from Spain to forestall enemies in Mindanao like Moro Pirates and other foreign invaders. The name "Zamboanga" provides an interesting historical background. This was called "Jambangan" by the early Malay settlers which means Land of Flowers. The Samals and Badjaos also came here with their feil vintas and they were confused with the word "Jambangan" with "Samboangan" which came from the word "Sabuan ", the wooden pole used to help push their Vintas in Shallow watersor to tie them for anchorqage purposes.The word "Samboangan" was found difficult to pronounce by Spaniards. So, this was preferably called "Zamboanga". This place was also considered as the center of barter trading among Chinese, Malays and the native Tausugs, Samals, Subanens and the Badjaos as early as 13th and 14th centuries. The introduction of Islam was lead by Mukdum,Rayah Baginda and Abu-Bakr. They are an Arab missionaries and teaches of Sulu reached the shore of Sulu at about 1480 to 1490.The one who introduced Islam in Cotabato was Sherif Kabungsuan and it begun to spread through Mindanao including Zamboanga . There were new culture ,some natives converted to Islamism while others retreated to mountains and remain pagans. The introduction of Christianity begun when Spaniard built their first fort in La Caldera (presently Recodo). At first it was a wooden palisade but later reconstructed with stone in 1593. The first conversion of Christianity could have taken place here among the Sama-Lutaos and the Subanen who were staying with the vicinity of the Spanish settlement.

ronnie osial yes Hawaiian are Pacific Islanders

Native Hawaiians are. But just Hawaiian? Noooo

Why would they not be

Anybody who is not Hawaiian should not be calling themselves Hawaiian. If you’re not of native Hawaiian decent, but you were born on Hawaii, you’re still not Hawaiian. It’s not like the other states. Because Hawaiian is it’s own ethnicity. It’s own language. If you’re from Texas, you can call yourself Texan because Texan is not a ethnicity/language. It’s not the same as being Hawaiian. If you’re not of Hawaiian decent but you were born in Hawaii, you’d just say “I’m from Hawaii/I was born in Hawaii” not “I’m Hawaiian”. With that being said. Hawaii is Pacific Islander.

@@uts4448 "If you’re not of native Hawaiian decent, but you were born on Hawaii, you’re still not Hawaiian." -- Exactly! Very well said.

The Philippines is presently located in Asia, but previously (million years ago) it was part of the Pacific ocean island group. The movement of the tectonic plates and the Pacific ocean divide have pushed the Philippines away from its Pacific island grouping and is coming nearer and nearer to Asia. The Philippines is a Spanish colony for 350+ years and have a facial and cultural affinity with Mexico and neighboring south American countries. Therefore by present location, the Filipinos are rightfully considered as Asians, but their previous location in the Pacific also bestows them to be called Polynesian/Pacific-islanders and lastly their Hispanic history rightfully entitles them to be called Latinos of Asia.

Edgar Arreza No we are not "Hispanics of Asia". Yes we were colonized by Spain but that does not mean EVERY Filipino has a Spanish ancestor. A Spanish last name does not necessarily mean you have a Spanish ancestor, those were slave names that were forced onto the Filipinos. There are several different ethnic groups of the Filipinos and many of them don't have Spanish culture at all.

There’s barely any cultural practices you share with Pacific Islanders maybe Micronesians but other then that it is slim to nil

Have very different too because we filipinos have our own unique cultures and influences

im a pacific islander and i think your asian

@@kalenreweti4365 Pacific islanders is from Philippines

Albert Tussy pacific islanders is from pacific islanders Philippines are southeast aisans just cuz we share the sea dont mean we share the culture whatever a fil am is stick to that

@@lughanandi1743 I cant understand

Albert Tussy pacific islanders is from pacific islanders but now its culturally different u dont see philipinos pullin hakas or wearing lavalavas during or part of pacific islander herritage cellebrations. But i do see philipinos in aisan herritage celebrations as we do share the same month

July Ski when 2nd world war philippines are occupied by americans .. so they called philippines island in the pacific .. but after ww2 philippines cliamed freedom .. so its belong to asia In other words these idiots proudly claimed pacific islanders are fooled by americans and only exist in america 😂😂😂😂

Americans just lack knowledge on Filipino culture and geography. They just don't really care.

I get what you mean, July Ski. I really do. Very same experience.

And hosted it in 2019

Australia also is in SEA games.. whats ur point?

@@neilsumanda1538 in what year did they participate in?

@@neilsumanda1538 They never were.. They aren’t an Asian country..

As a Polynesians myself and as someone who was born and raised in Hawaii, I don't think Polynesian culture is more relatable. Hell if Filipino Americans knew their culture, they'd be more relatable with other Southeast Asians. Most of us Polynesians see Filipino Americans as what they are, Asians that wish they were us. You say don't forget Filipinos are island people? Technically, England is on an island so the English are island people too by definition if you look up the definition of the word "islander".

@@polyso5123 wtf are you even talking about lol, Island people, Im talking about more than 7,000 islands that are a at a considerably far distance from mainland, We are nothing like other Asians, other than rice, idk wtf youre talking about, Do you even know about igorots? Or kalinga?

@KOKO Martin are you kidding me, you're comparing islands that are right next to the mainland of Asia, thats totally different from 7,000 islands that considerably far from the mainland, and closer to open ocean, so yes island people, just look at put ancient people and tribes they are similar to pacific islanders than Asians, again where do you live? Have you ever lived side by side with mircronesians, chamarro's, marshallese, Tongans, Samoans,? Or do you just live with filipinos,

@@polyso5123 and where do you live in hawaii?

@@polyso5123 I have never been confused for a Japanese person, nor did I get confused for a Chinese, not even Vietnamese or Korean, but I get confused for Hawaiian, I get confused for being Micronesian, Marshallese and Mexican, again you have no idea what you're talking about people in Hawaii never mistaken filipinos for Asians, if anything they get surprised that some filipinos put asian on paperworks in school, because again growing up with almost every culture you see how different filipinos are from other Asians and are closely similar to pacific islanders, I have no problem with people calling me Asian, but there shouldn't be a problem with someone calling me pacific islander as well, and people who talk down on me for doing that is retarded

Niidea1986 most of filipino have spanish ancestors (mostly 1 night stand lmao)

Well, if you type indonesian and malay people on google images, you will find some of them , too, look latinos despite never being colonized by spanish

+Delius ~wrong you Aeta China

Japan is islands and so is Indonesia are they both as well? The line of the Pacific Ocean stops way before the Philippines, in which it turns into the Philippine Sea.

so Brits are Atlantic Islanders ryt? :D

There is some link between filipinos and pacific islanders but we are mainly asian both now and prehispanic periods. We were first inhabited by negritos but filipinos are different from pacific islanders. Read this for some info:reappropriate.co/2017/05/dear-asian-americans-stop-erasing-pacific-islanders/

Ali Bata Spanish last names don’t have anything to do with Filipinos. It doesn’t mean that most Filipinos have Spanish blood. The Spanish government changed the Native Filipino last names to Spanish, which I think is annoying, because last names are a cultural identity.

Asean mas specific 😊

They are. I'm Typical Native blood Filipino 62.5%, Chinese 12.5 % Portuguese 25%.

No. Filipinos have little to no latinos blood

King Uce77 it's not just because it's located in asia, is about the culture too Dummy, he's right, Philippines is 95% Asian, and if you live in the beaches, Most people there has Same culture as what Pacific islanders have

Jefferson Domingo thats cap havent seen a 5’4 philipino do a haka or wear a lavalava we aint the same fr

but were still ASIAN

by that logic, Indonesians and Malaysians should call themselves Pacific Islanders as well. They're also Austronesians.

Ayos Mukha by that logic japan should just straight up be pulling hakas outa there asses and dripping with lavalsvas

I'm really glad I could help 😊 also one of the main reasons why I make these videos ♥️

Purple bread!? Or Purple Egg!?

@@chrisperea purple bread

i think ube bread

***** iam saying that loosely that area no need to get aggressive

King Uce77 polynesians are asian poop filipino are just filipino we are not claiming your races ..

King Uce77 philippines are more better than your pacific islanders so no need to claimed your being polynesian (autralian-asian )

@@amyromero5557 wtf dud it didnt talk about race, it talks about philippimes beinh asian because were in asia. wtf get your facts right
