I've an Indonesian best friend and we met in PNG (I'm a Filipino), she introduced me to Indomie and I love it, she's also from Jakarta

Terima Kasih for sharing! I'd love to visit someday too! Hopefully soon! 😊

Do you know how many spices can cure or heal COVID infections and many other diseases? Turmeric, cinnamon, cloves etc. They are antiinflammatories. COVID is an inflammatory disease. But CDC won't tell you this. They hide info as we all know

Thank you! 🙏🏽😊

NAMASTE btw, how is it actually pronounced? nah-mahs-tay or nah-mahs-teh?

@@DarkR0ze the second one is right.

Terima Kasih!! 😊

@@KirbyAraullo sama sama (you're welcome). It's rare to see someone do deep research into precolonial history of the Philippines. Me as Indonesian are curious because the more you expose your pre-Spanish era history, the more we can see that The Philippines and Malay world is indeed related. Looking forward to your next video, maraming salamat Kuya 👍

The mass cut down of Cloves for controlling the price that you're referring to is called *Hongi Tochten* , while the *Cultuurstelsel* was an enforced planting system which came later.

I love reading about the Voc, holy shit. So impressive

Yay! thank you and I'm glad you love learning about how connected Southeast Asia really is 😊 p.s. That was actually my original plans for the channel when I started making history video years ago. I really wanted it to be more about Southeast Asia, not just the Philippines. 😉

@@KirbyAraullo 😻😻😻

it reallly is cecause the ottoman empire block their spices and ccommercial route of india

😯😲😲😯😯

Yup! If you think about it, European colonization actually created more borders and divisions in the region :(

@@KirbyAraullo could you create a content about it? It is exactly the research topic I have been developing for the last few years for Masters and PhD project ;) Thanks!

Same in the Philippines our native Southeastasian culture, architecture, and ideas were burned and destroyed to the ground by the Spaniards, convert us to christians, and made us Hispanic

Malacca was a prominent centre of Malay culture, there's no denying in that. However its significance as "the origins" of modern Malay culture is exaggerated, because at the same time there exist other important centres of Malay culture like Pasai and Minangkabau, who all have influence on the Malay culture we know today, far longer and more impactful than Malacca. Pasai gave the Jawi script which used in written Bahasa Melayu for centuries, and the Minang gave their custom (and also their language) which influenced Malay culture. Even the Bugis and Javanese also have roles in shaping Malay culture.

Wonderful! Salámat! 😊

I hope you and your family are doing well 😊😊😊

Thank you! I appreciate it 😊

Thank you! 😊

Glad you like them! That was actually my original plans for the channel when I started making history video years ago. I really wanted it to be more about Southeast Asia, not just the Philippines. 😊

I couldn't agree more, but I think there is now a rising consciousness among Filipinos to practice cultural relativism instead of ethnocentrism or xenocentrism.

😅🤣🤣

Filipino cuisine is great. People just need to be Less Insecure by trying desperately to put a backstory to even the most lame items like the Shanghai and Canton which are obviously Chinese food items. Just stop trying to hard to come up with Trivia and fun facts to sensationalize the Adobo and the Fried Egg meals (Silogs). Before Filipinos can work on trying to impress foreigners with Jollibee, they should first make sure the Filipino masses can afford to eat at Jollibee even if its not Christmas or their payday. Before you can brag about the Halo Halo and Ube Cake, work on making it cultural, meaning the Filipinos can actually afford them.

@@eduardochavacano The “insecure backstory” that you are saying here is me trying to explain something with the intent to identify the SOURCES of an existing problem also WHERE did I sensationalize the specific recipes of Filipino Cuisine? And I know that there are several domestic factors to consider namely the LONG OVERDUE Land Reform that a LOT of people who are personally involved died about and the political oligarchs clans who own them as usual won’t do jack$#¡+ about it because they have NO INCENTIVE to change things to the benefit of everyone since the current status quo benefits them at the expense of the common Tao who are silently struggling to survive with 3 meals a day, they want to maintain their own sources of wealth without earning them with the necessary qualifications and transparency for the “privatized land” to benefit the whole community because-if there are Land ownership problems-the natural consequences will be the quality of the Crops/Food are going to be affected such that some domestically grown crops which should have been real good quality are not as bought in the local markets (sometimes expensive) than the imported goods (sometimes cheaper) smuggled or not are a lot more likely to be bought in some wet markets and supermarkets and even then the accessibility to real good crops is more on a regional level than a National level and you wonder about the cynical attitudes in the Philippines 🇵🇭 as a group Also have you differentiated the MAINSTREAM Filipino Cuisines or the LEGIT ETHNIC REGIONAL Filipino Cuisines (who have their own respective characteristics) the more authentic of which is only easily accessible IF you have went to a region where are they known for-Authentic Bikolano Food is only available in Bikol Region or Authentic Illongot Food is only available in Panay island or Authentic Ilokano Food is only available in Ilokos Region and the aforementioned Cusines being sold in the bigger And more Urbanized Cities have a different taste from the actual thing that is if you have read the answers of “probinsanos” who have a lot more to say about the real differences

When it comes to food in a cultural sense, there is NO INTERNATIONAL STANDARD that should meet the taste of non-Filipinos, especially the West. You digressed too much with the unnecessary details when in fact you merely wanted to seek clarification of any connection between food and history.

@@alsuvarnadvipadanargentum1743 Out of topic, Aetas aren't that much talked about when discussing Pre-Colonial Philippines. They had little interaction with the Spaniards as most of them migrated to/remained/lived in the moutains during Spanish rule. Even the attempts of the Spaniards failed to settle them in reducciones or reservations all throughout Spanish rule. It is generally believed that they are the older inhabitants of the Philippines. Dayang C Marikit notes that they were hugely affected and influenced by the arrival of the Austronesians. She notes that there is Aeta DNA in Austronesians and Austronesian DNA in Aetas. This suggests intermingling and interaction of both populations. Most of them speak Austronesian languages. What happened to their original languages is unknown. The most likely scenario I theorized myself is the assimilation and interaction with the Austronesian population. There is the Ati-Atihan Festival commerating the Barter of Panay, where Aetas accepted gifts from Bornean chieftain, who fled with their families to escape a tyrannical ruler, in exchange for being allowed to dwell in Aetas' lands according to legends. Their role and treatment in Pre-colonial Philippines varies. In other places they are like regular people, others being paying tributes to the local rulers, while others being subjected to slave raids. I hope Kirby gets to cover and research about them and maybe enlighten us with the information he researched.🙂

I don't know man, I see Filipino desserts more well liked than any other Filipino food (except iconic ones like adobo, sinigang or balut for brave travelers).

RMS and OPM claims are nothing more than hot air. What imperialism when the Moluccans and Papuans are able to govern their land by themselves and have equal rights with other Indonesians with no exceptions?!

Thank you!

Thank you :)

Thank uou :)

T'was owned by Brunei, given to the Philippines, rented to the Malaysia by Great Britain....

Thats very short but meaningful reply and thats the truth

​@@Neg-Rosgiven to the Philippines? The word Philippines only exist after the coming of the Spanish. And the Spanish never really get to control the Muslim South. So if the creation of the was based on Spanish territories, thus Southern Muslim cannot be included and when the creation of the Philippines from the US, the southern muslim sultan was never recognised by the new Catholic Philippines. But today Sabah is Malaysia.. period !!

@@TreiHutchinson what's your point then??? it's as if you're pointing out that Muslim Mindanao is not part of the Philippines...

@@TreiHutchinson remember Philippines is an Archipelago...it doesn't mean since we're not connected by land...part of our territory wasn't ours...

May I suggest you ask your elders as well? They may have written oral stories to give you? I understand it's hard to research though. Stay safe.

That information you have just shared, where are your sources?

Spanish influence. Our taste buds were trained to accept the taste buds of our Castillian colonizers for three centuries. Then come the Americans, another colonizer that is known for their bland cuisine.

@@GaryHField You have partially answered my question and the Goods from Neighboring SEAsian countries, Indian Subcontinent and West Asia During the Early to Middle Spanish Colonial Period in the Philippines 🇵🇭 are becoming increasingly inaccessible to the Native Filipinos because the new manager has altered and restricted the existing trade routes to Hispanic America

I said this to Kirby Araullo first but I feel that my paragraph might be worth reading 📖 for you: As a potential follow up to this video Kirby can you please explain (in a possible future video) the evolution of Filipino Cuisine for better or worse because Filipino Cuisine on an International Level has a BAD reputation for being “bland” and where do these perceptions really came from as in looking at the sources Why-like the Medieval Trading Routes of the Philippine Archipelago being already interconnected with it’s neighborhood (Chinese, Indian, Indonesian and West Asian influences) has been altered by the Spaniards (and as a consequence the taste 👅 palette of the Christianized Filipinos from Culinary as an art form to Survival first mentality affecting the quality of the native foods towards the common people consuming them) to monopolize and therefore confine the Philippines 🇵🇭 within Spain’s influence and control alone which only worsened an already existing problem of Piracy from both the Chinese North and Muslim South and Competition against the Dutch and British to break Spain’s monopoly for the China Trade making the maintenance of the “Spanish East Indies” real expensive and some instances in the 1500’s to 1700’s to abandon the colony by Political Spanish officials BUT the Roman Catholic Church ⛪️ refuses because control the natives peoples under them to Christianity and use the Philippines as a launching pad for their conversion missions to China 🇨🇳 and Japan 🇯🇵

That's bocoz the Philippines love to eat rotten egg called the *Bulut* ?

Filipino is multilingual when we are born we speak our cultural language our national language nd we can understand and speak well english thats 3 languages and if we visit other country we can adopt also their languages some filipino have 6 to 12 languages can use ....

Thank you 😊

Yup, they were also in Java 😊

And Sumatra too!

I leave it to you to create this very interesting episode 🙂

Salamat 🥳

Walang anuman po

Malaysia’s Penang and Melaka also have lots of spices. Indonesia’s Beef Rendang is so sophisticated compared to the highly sensationalized Adobo, which no one ever cooks for a wedding or a bday party.

it's not saying that Philippines only have spices - why turn this into a useless argument?

@@eduardochavacano so? did it say that Philippines is superior to x,y,z? It's all about PREFERENCE. Why turn these into useless arguements?

And many Filipinos don't really care. Lols.

@@eduardochavacano Many Filipinos don't just eat adobo. What the.. is adobo the only food you ever think Filipinos are proud of? Secondly, I have attended many posh weddings that serve adobo in its many forms. It doesn't however lose its prestige just because it isn't served in a wedding. Lols. How your mind works makes me laugh. Poor thing.

True. If the English didn't establish their Virginia colony and Canada, the entire New World would've been a colony of Spain.
