Fun fact: Putting Philippines or Filipino on a video title is enough to summon the entire nation!

"And then I'll be free" Oh ISP, you'll never be free of HoI4

That "today is going to be great" nicely summarises the whole A2Z series

Fun Philippine fact: In the movie Apocalypse Now (which was filmed in The Philippines) the Hueys are real helicopters from the Philippine Army. During production, they had to be recalled several times for actual military operations the Philippine government was conducting against insurgents due to civil unrest and uprisings at the time. I don't live in the Philippines, that's just a fact I know about them

He says he will then be free, but he forgot about his promise to play through the *releasable* nations too!

"if everyone hit the sub-button right now....." -ISP days away from arttillery only

*”it seems like the entire BEF is surrounded”* Churchill: *angry discombobulated voices*

*sees philippines flag* "You have alerted the horde"

As a Filipino, I can confirm this is impossible. My dad still gives me stories on how my grandpa was beaten with 2-inch thick wooden sticks while hanged upside down by the Japanese.

I love it when the AI makes two Frances, like one France wasn't enough. Did Southern France got Alsace-Lorraine, or is it independent?

fun fact: After the end of World War 2, A Japanese soldier named Hiroo Onoda remained in the jungle on Lubang Island near Luzon, Philippines while not knowing the war has ended. After years of being in the jungles, He officially surrendered in 1974.

Fun fact: the Colt M1911 .45 pistol a.k.a. the "Calibre Cuarenta y Cinco" was developed partly in response to Moro guerillas during the Philippine-American War. US troops reportedly had difficulty taking down the bolo-wielding Moros: allegedly numbed by drugs, they would rush Joe and hack him to death before he could fire another round from his bolt-action rifle. So the guys at Colt decided to make a service firearm with enough stopping power to drop a man with the first shot. Thus the M1911 was born. More than a hundred years later the M1911 remains one of the most popular pistols in the world, including - ironically - in the Philippines. M1911s had been an ubiquitous sight among the PNP, and I can't count the number of action movies where the hero drops an entire warehouse/beerhouse/mansion full of goons using only the M1911. Hell, we even have Colt 45 beer here.

4:12 another fun fact: We're part in the Typhoon belt, which means yea its the Typhoon season. Ain't that fun being a Filipino, living under constant abused from mother nature.

As a Filipino, thank you for giving us freedom and a piece of Japan!

Get Bo back to do sinkiang… he can play the soviets and there’s a very small section of their focus tree that buffs sinkiang

Fun Philippones fact: you've had a lot of filipino viewers, be they living in the Philippines or in other countries. Mentioning our country is enough for them to come out of the woodworks and admit their nationality.

fun fact, some of my grandmother’s family, she is filipino, were part of the resistance against the occupying japanese imperial army during ww2. Some also became actors in filipino movies and shows

I'm so glad ISP has finally played my home country, the Philippines aka Tropical Hell on Earth.

4:19 Historically inaccurate, there were railroads from La Union to Bicol, branching to Isabela, and also one in Panay Island during WW2.

7:50 dressel once again saving the world!

"Fun" Filipino fact: The battle of Manila in WWII is among the highest civilian casualty count of any city battle, just below Warsaw and Stalingrad (and even worse than Leningrad)

It seems isp enjoys these defensive hoi4 games. Im glad that he at least finds joy in life

HOI4 Challenge "The Pearl Outshines the Sun" As Fascist Philippine, You must Puppet Japan before 1946 Idk I just come up with that idea

As a Filipino, even trying to survive here is practically impossible if you combine the foreign invasions with the 20+ typhoons we get every year

ISP is going berserk with his uploads, keep it up!

surviving as a filipino is immensely fun I can't believe how true-to-life this video is

Another fun fact, The Battle of Leyte Gulf or "the largest naval battle in history" happened in the Philippines in 1944

looking forward to EU4 A to Z after you are done with this

It’s weird that philippines doesn’t have railway in hoi4 when in reality, the country already did had rails built as early as 1891. Altho mainly in the luzon island

My great great grandfather fought for the Philippine Commonwealth Army under the USAFFE, I don't know if I'm contented or worried that my great great grandfather is being led by a man like ISP

When you're a Japanese soldier and the trees start speaking Tagalog...

I'd like to thank ISP for finally playing the Philippines. It's great to see another man suffering in what is essentially Mexico but worse. I can also confirm that we indeed have occupied Kyushu.

ISP has an amazing Churchil impression

As a Filipino seeing you played my country.. Is an changing gameplay... where you managed to successfully the Philippine Islands.

What I have learned after playing the Philippines in HOI (I'm from the Philippines located at Pangasinan) 1. You really need to focus your researched in construction and in machinery because of the factories were limited (even I was shocked as a History Nerd) 2. Focus the Tree on Add Infrastructure and Military to reduced pain in butt while building one (Always Prioritize Civilian Building first before Military) 3. Get the Artillery ASAP since it is gonna focus on Naval Invasion make sure your company have a 5 Line of it the only thing that the Japan can get a decent landing is around Palawan which you can take it back afterwards 4. Well if you're worried about supply you can have a request from your Warlord AKA for US they give you like 30 convoys but cost you a slow process to be independent Well that's from me for playing Minor Countries

The Churchill impressions fucking kill me every time

A fact about our country? Despite it's a place that is filled to the brim with natural disasters due to our geography, you can still see people smiling and playing basketball in the middle of their community's ruins. Our country had undergone five republics in under a century. Throughout this video, the Japanese has landed in the Ilocos region 6:23 (four times), the Negros region 7:53 , the peninsula shared by the Sarangani and Davao Occidental regions at 11:20 , the entirety of the Bataan region at 11:39 , and the island of Palawan at 12:03 You are 9 months late from our actual independence date from the US. Guess you deserve a sub for that.

I can officialy declare that ISP is no longer of the chains, hes gone back to A2Z instead of a2z!

Im noticing a pattern in some of these nations

Fun Fact: Reason why they're attacking from 7:12 down there is because, Davao, the city where I'm from, had a sizable Japanese community back then.

An ISP video a day makes the pain go away

As a Filipino, I can confirm that we invade cities that were blown up by a nuke.

Your jowly Churchill impression deserves its own channel.

ISP playing Philippines: Objective - Survive! Basically Filipinos everyday.

One of the first times I played germany, the Philippines managed to kill 950k Japanese people & not die, only 1 province(?) got invaded. Rediculous.

Achievement Unlocked: Summoner Use something that is close to the Philippines to summon millions

As a finale to this series you should play every country at once by constantly switching between them using the tag command.

I legit can't believe you're still doing this. Your stamina is impeccable.

Braun at 7:50: breathing heavily

He actually did it, despite all those years ago when he said he was never going to play the Philippines

You may just have summoned the entire Philippine horde.

Philippines is interesting in Road to 56 especially because they had a focus tree there Also in NSB I think you can form the Malayan Confederation when you get Indonesia and Malaysia cores

As the Filipino who always warns about a Filipino stampede... *ISP WATCH OUT! IT'S IN THE SEAS!!*

You did way better than how it went historically, so you earned yourself a sub.

Just subscribed! thank you for playing as Philippines. I love your content and videos.

Last time I was this early, ISP was still sane.

A good thing about island nations is that they have long shore lines The bad thing is that they have long shore lines

ISP: Types "Philippines" in title Me:Now all of Philippines know you're here

The Churchill impression at 9:26 is gold

Me, meanwhile patiently waiting for ISP to play as Uruguay.

Again, the best Churchill impressions are here. Great job my man.

The Philippines has to be my favorite minor only for the fact they shit out actual usable divisions. By the time Japan historically declares on the USA you can have 10-14 Philippines divisions with at least 4 of them being 14 4s.

Filipino here, I'm proud that my grand grand grandfather fought the Spaniard during the Philippine Revolution and my grandfather killed a Japanese using only the bolo knife in WWII

I can't wait for the next episode when ISP play as Poland and totally won't crash Germany.

Here they come! "Pinoy Pride!" "Put tank in a mall!" "Jollibee!" "Chicken adobo!" "Mid or feed" "Bubu!"

As a Filipino hearing ISP say "Philippines no. 1" killed me a bit inside

I can't believe this is why I'm going to play HOI4 To just see most countries go either full communists or turned into the axis

As a Filipino, this is a certified Optimum Pride classic

I'm surprised you never used a focus tree because knowing my countrymen, Juan from Cebu would've made like 50 different ones

Looks like you'll finish HoI4 A-Z just in time to do Vicky 3 A-Z!

ISP: … but again, I don’t think it’s possible. Me: hey I’ve seen this one before; it’s a classic. Shouldn’t you be having flashbacks to artillery only my guy?

ISP seemed like he had more fun than usual this time

mad drunken churchill is the best thing i have heard in a while :D

The most impressive thing about this campaign... a united France without using mods.

I've waited for this

Best way to end a great day An ISP video

U know why philipines can be,hard to conquer due to their enviroment and tropicall terrains and mountainous terrains can be easy for guerilla fighters

Those Winston Churchill impressions made my day!

The president of the Philippines looks like he's having a heart attack and a stroke at the same time.

20 videos in a row...What are you waiting for people? Hit that sub button. We could actually drive him to madness.

And another painfull nation to ISP, but at least it's not Nicaragua

ISP you forgot the every province A-Z series can’t wait to see that one

Just watching ISP suffer makes my day keep it Up buddy

When you get to Soviet Union you should do a real life scenario, release Ukraine put a bunch of troops on its border wait a few years and invade it

ISP gets to experience what being Filipino feels like

You can hear how his sanity leaves when he exhales

Here's a tip hoi4 players send an attache to Japan or China for army xp

fun fact: there were american officers left in the Philippines who were able to form Filipino guerrilla armies and harass the Japanese forces for the entirety of the occupation

Wouldn't be an Isorrow video without a new sub goal.

man this is such a good video!! engagement!

I've been waiting for my Country for the past Year or so and its finally here, have fun in hell. 😂

Pog communism

Fun fact: On of the biggest naval battles happened off the gulf of Leyte, people say that you can still find wrecks of ships and planes in said gulf.

Yay, the funny depressed man pleases us with a new upload

Philippines is super easy. Its like a japan of the south. After researching the three political focus up to nationalism, and the first industrial one. While you have selectioned the dockyard focus you initiate the civil war. And let it happen for a while that way your other half gets focus factories. And the naval invade them. Then you go get some colonies in siam and the dutch easy indies. With your prince of terror manpower isnt a problem. get 3 armies of 24 divisions and before france capitulates you attack france, british malaya and the raj. It would be better if you get into the japan faction too.

If allies are messing with supply you can switch a button on the supply map mode where your allies won't get supplies in your country

You literally deserve more subs lmao! You’re simply… Great.

Was waiting for the Philippines for months here we go!

I gave you a like for that sigh in the first second of the video. Thanks for doing A2Z.

When he breathes like that at the beginning of the episode, I just spam the back arrow for a little bit. It's funny to me.
