In California they get along well with Mexicans because of how similar they are but on a grander scale Filipinos in the US are pretty open minded on who they interact with

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.

Filipinos are in many countries. I have lived in London, Madrid and Málaga. All have many people from the Philippines.

Philippines is probably the only old world country that has been influenced a lot by the new world. It was part of the Spanish empire but it was governed through New Spain (centered in modern Mexico) and it later became a territory of the US.

The original name of Texas was Nuevas Filipinas (New Philippines)

Filipinos are very interesting. I know a guy who is filipino,he looks like a normal Filipino with Austro-Chinese ancients. His cousin with the same familyname looks like an European/Spanish guy. It was astonishing ;)

Here in Mexico we have "Mango de Manila" (Manila mango), and it is the only country in the Americas (that I know of) that have this mango species.

Excellent history! I am half Filipino from California, and I enjoyed this video very much.

One of the first settlers of Los Angeles was a Filipino.

In Stockton California there was a community we had called little Manila which was a huge Filipino community in San Joaquin County. PBS even did a documentary about it too.

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).

Lived in Daly City, and can confirm, Filipinos took over that place, theres like a filipino restaurant in every other block.

Many Asians migrated into Western Coasts of Americas for a better life.

Long live philippines.

I always bring Filipino food to American parties. I hope one day I don’t have to explain it anymore. Things like pansit, lumpia and adobo will be known by everyone.

It used to be a dead giveaway that if you meet a person with predominantly Asian features but had a Spanish-sounding surname, that person was sure to be Filipino or of Filipino descent.

Fascinating! I got a DNA test back that showed 1.5% Southeast asian from the 1700's. This is helping me connect the dots!

Such a great video! Im a first generation hawaii born filipino. Very much identify as American, only fluent in English. I'm very much connected to the land I was born in, but this video really helped me to get in touch and appreciate my filipino identity and background. Such a rich and tragic history our people have. Yet some of the most kind and hospitable people on the planet. I recently did an Ancestry DNA kit and found out half of my ancestry comes from southern China! Other half comes from northern Luzon. Always thought I had some Spanish with the last name Salvador, but nope. None at all. Just want to say great video again! I really learned so much about my Filipinos in America. Love from Hawaii❤

My first duty station in the Corps was Subic Bay. Filipinos are awesome people and scary quiet.

You forgot to mention Washington's a native American Nooksack tribe with many filipino members.

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.

Filipino American here! Great video!

*_Wow,_* I did not know that people of Filipino descent have had such an impact on early American history! 😲😲😲

Very interesting! My father used to tell me stories of how Filipinos migrated to the US long before the US existed. He also told me the story of Filipino navigators who were the first to circumnavigate the the globe not Magellan. I don’t know if that’s true? He also told me the story of how my grandfather fought in Europe in world war 1 and fought against the Japanese in WW2. My father told me how one of his brothers used to travel to Hawaii all the time without a passport. I always thought he was just making up stories.

I went to the Museo de las Californias in TJ last month and I saw a very interesting display on the trans-pacific slave trade that was created during the height of the Spanish Empire in the Baja California region. the major port that ran the trade was in Acapulco and it ran between there and the Philippines.

Love the Philippines and Filipino people.

I do wish you would've given credit to Stockton as a center of Filipino Heritage.

You nailed it. I learned so much about my Filipino heritage from this video. Thanks man

The Filipino American flag looks a little like Malaysian flag

This channel needs more recognition. Great content!

Wow. I'm a Filipino and never heard of this in our history class. Glad you made this video! Thanks.

Florida also has a sizable Filipino community, particularly around Jacksonville. Filipinos make up a decent-size portion of the U.S. military personnel. Jacksonville is a military city. The Tidewater region of Virginia, same case.

I'm a Filipino, and i watch almost all your videos :) keep doing what you do :) .

While more of modern US history, it is astonishing that a pivotal figure in the California farmer labour movement in the 60s and the Delano Grape Strike was Filipino (Larry Itliong) is unknown even amongst Filipinos where as Cesar Chavez became like the Martin Luther King of Chicanos. The United Farm Workers that was made famous by Chavez was actually a merger of Chavez’s group and Itliong’s.

According to National Geographic, the average Filipino is 53% Southeast Asian/Oceanian, 36% East Asian, 5% Southern European, 3% South Asian (Indian), 2% Native American (likely from Latin American migrants) genographic.nationalgeographic.com/reference-populations-next-gen/

Filipino women are easily some of the most beautiful in the world imo.

I demand the Phillpines give me reparations NOW!!! I'm like 1/1000th Inuit, I'm basically indigenous.

Thank you for this video. I've learned so much in all your videos! Keep em coming!

Thank you!! So well done, as always.

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.

Thank you very mich for this very informative video! More power to your channel and God bless! 😊 🇵🇭

Thanks for thore video! Great work! I know it's a really tough job and might take months even years, but I hope there's a video in the works for the makeup of the Philippine islands themselves since there are so many different groups there. That would be super interesting.

Since we are in the Americas, I suggest you do a video on the Scandinavians in the Americas.

Good job man very thorough and interesting Cheers

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.

Thank You for this wonderful video!

Very well researched, documented and narrated. Thank you.

According to the chart you gave at 3:30 I am a Tornatras? eh... Anyways here are some pronunciation tips I can give to you: Mindanao= Min duh now Tagalog= taGAlog Stress on the second syllable Thanks for the great video!

“Tag Along” lol..

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.

Love your channel!! Keep posting more videos like this ❤❤

8:44 This photo is not of Alaska. The railroad car in the background is of the Great Northern Railway which ran between Minneapolis/St Paul, MN and Seattle, WA. This type of car is used for accommodation of track maintenance workers and would stay on the Great Northern Railway lines.

wow. you really did do a lot of research in your video. liked!

Thank you this was most enlightening. An aspect of our Diaspora that a native austronesian Filipino did not know. Your research is admirable.

Good grief, didn't know much that Metro NOLA had such of my kind there.

good job sir...

Very Interesting Info... Thanx Duder! :)

Great video! Filipinos have inspired me so much. I will live there one day, and start my charity to give back to the generous pinoys.

May I use this video in a reaction video.I will give proper credit and leave your link.

You should do a video on the aboriginal peoples of Australia.

Good video. Keep up the good work!

i dont know why i havent subscribed yet. you are pretty knowledgeable of my nation for someone who isnt one.

Filipinos didn't help "colonize" America. Many of them started to migrate to America after the Spanish American War when the Philippines was liberated from Spanish Colonization. There's a difference between Colonization and Migration. I also met a lot of People from the Philippines and they're some of the sweetest most wonderful People around, they're not the Imperialistic Type.

One more thing most of us are bilingual or even multilingual since it's basically a necessity to learn english here, we learn tagalog since it's what most people learn to speak and they're native language. For me I know english tagalog bisaya and kapangpangan

Another great vid. Keep it up.

Great video !!!

The term " Filipino(s) did not exist from earlier years under the Spanish. They were known as Indios..

Both my grandma and grandpa mother side is INSULARES full blooded spanish italian but born in the philippines. Monforte y Alvarado

Wow.....an impressive summation of Filipino migration......you’ve certainly done your homework.

San Diego has a significant community of Filipino people. I loved this video

2:30 *_Min-Duh-Nayo_* lmao

We have Filipino Settlers way before America Annex California.

You did a good research on this.

A sense of history very well explained.

Talk about the people living in Svalbard. I've heard there are quite a few Thai people living there.

Actually, Tagalog was not widely spoken prior to the Spanish conquest. Tagalog was just the dialect of the Manila region, and as the Spaniards made Manila the capital of their island possessions, Tagalog came to be the national language.

Hey Masaman - great video as always. If you are looking for some more topic ideas from australasia take a look into the creole people of Broome in Western Australia who are a mix of Indigenous Australians and Asian fishermen, there is still Japanese cemetries in Broome. There is also evidence of Asian contact with the Australian mainland on both coasts going back centuries before European 'discovery'. Another topic could be the Indians of Fiji who have lived there for centuries and have been facing hardship and near civil war.

Hi man, I love your videos! Could you consider adding english subtitles to them? English is not my first language and it would make it easier for me to understand and learn. You are doing great job! Cheers!

Are you going region by region or ....

Do a video about Scandinavians in America

Great ind depth info about my people.

Little Stockton would've been nice to mention . Love your work

Islam was established in the Philippines for more than a century before the Spaniards came. The Spanish did not stop the spread of Islam but forced the people to accept Catholicism just like the Spanish Moors, hence the term Moro. We had Hinduism, Buddhism but predominantly Islam even before the Portuguese and Spanish arrived.

Masaman Please do a video about Malta

Wow thank you! I never knew & I'm Filipino😀 som1 below (goodvibes) in the comments gave a full info from historical documents & I got educated.

Thanks for the history lesson

I see Philippines I Like!

3:21 I'll take 1 Tornatras. On the go, please. Oh, wait. I thought this was a coffee and drinks menu.

Filipinos are very stubborn and resilient people. Heck they can probably repopulate the north poles with the proper funding. Out of all the big countries colonized by Spain, Philippines is the only one that retain their native Austronesian Language compared to the countries in South America.

I am going to support you as soon as I get the time to figure it out. Such an education you have provided everyone. This video was excellent as all that I have watched so far are. I just took your survey, but missed marking the anti fascist, so you can add another mark on that one. Thank you

I'm Filipino with ilocano dialect,and yeah! Hawaii is many ilocano dialect! And I love surfing!😎🙋🙌🙆

*VIDEO SUGGESTION: What if the two Bengals (West Bengal and Bangladesh) were united?*

Filipinos in America - Here is a facts: Oct. 18, 1587: First Documented Arrival of Filipinos in (what became) the United States of America by way of a Spanish galleon, that docked at what is now Morro Bay, California. The Pilgrim: Mayflower arrived in New England on November 11, 1620. Therefore, The Filipinos were in America 33 years before the Pilgrims came to settle in Plymouth Massachusetts. Here is another facts: The arrival of Filipinos to Alaska dates back to 1788, when crew from merchant ships came to trade furs with the natives. Eventually, whaling ships brought still more Filipino crews. Many settled and married women of the Aleut, Eskimo and Tlingit tribes. The United States bought Alaska from Russia March 30, 1867 Therefore, Filipinos were in Alaska 80 years before the United States purchased Alaska. More facts: The First Asian American Settlement Was Established by Filipino Fishermen. The fishing village in marshlands of present-day Louisiana was settled by the so-called Manilamen as early as 1763. Through the Louisiana Purchase of 1803, United States bought Louisiana from France. Therefore, Filipinos were settled in Louisiana 40 years before the United States acquired Louisiana from Napoleon Bonaparte. These facts are not taught to anyone but YOU! BE PROUD!

Could you also do a video on the people groups native to Alaska? I'm particularly interested in whether there was any pre-columbian contact between the Yupiks of western Alaska and the native Siberians on the other side of the straight?

What's interesting about the local Chinese population is how assimilated they are. Jose P. Rizal was Chinese. The last President and the current President Duterte is off Chinese descent. Heck, even I'm off Chinese descent. We are so assimilated that majority of us can't speak Hokkien (Fujian Dialect). Anyone younger than 30 who says they can is kidding themselves and can probably only speak Hokkien words on top of a Filipino base. For our first language, we actually speak the local language (dialect) of where we are from. In my case, I speak Cebuano. People of Chinese descent from Negros will speak Illonggo while those born in Manila will speak Tagalog. The same holds true for Filipinos of Indian, Eurasian or Blasian descent.

Please do a video about the Arab save trade

I’m about to sugget this video, thank you for doing it but i didnt see the part which the philippines was offered to be a part of the united states with the same status like guam, hawaii and puerto rico.

Nice improvement in audio quality

I’m mixed with Louisiana Filipino
