About Me:
Kirby Pábalan-Táyag Aráullo is a Filipino American historian, content creator, and renowned culture bearer based in California. He is also the author of the groundbreaking book “Black Lives & Brown Freedom: Untold Histories of War, Solidarity, & Genocide,” and the Co-Founder and former Director of Operations for the Bulosan Center for Filipino Studies at the University of California, Davis.
Kirby is a direct descendant of the last indigenous Paramount Kings of Luzon (of both Lakandúlâ of Tondo and Rája Matandá of Maynílâ), of the anti-colonial revolutionary Katipuneros, and of World War II Guerilyeras who fought for the liberation of the islands we now call the Philippines.
Born in Angeles City, Philippines, Kirby spent his childhood amidst the rebuilding of his homeland in the aftermath of Mt. Pinatubo’s cataclysmic eruption. His childhood beneath the shadows of the city’s red-light district, slum neighborhoods, and Clark Air Base (a former U.S. military installation) sparked his lifelong passion in advocating for the rights and the well-being of marginalized and disenfranchised communities. As a direct descendant of revolutionaries, politicos, and activists, Kirby’s upbringing was molded by productively engaging and navigating the realms of advocacy, traditional politics, and grassroots activism.
With a keen interest in varying fields (such as history, public affairs, and filmmaking) and a strong commitment to serving the community, Kirby studied at some of the world’s most prestigious institutions, such as Harvard University, the University of California, Davis, and the Université catholique de Louvain (one of Europe’s oldest universities). He has been teaching Filipino people’s history through writing in indigenous Philippine scripts (Kulitan & Baybayin) for over a decade.
Today, Kirby is well-known for his educationally engaging KZfaq channel where you can find videos about history, culture, and everything in between! He is also currently working on his next big book “Luzones & the New World: Forgotten Histories from Southeast Asia to the Americas” along with an easy-to-read book and zine series known as “Know Our Roots,” and an educational coloring book series called “Color Our Roots.”
Kirby is an educator who is well-rooted in his culture and passionate about his colorful heritage (Kapampángan, Tagálog, Indigenous Áytá, Pangasinan, and Spanish-Basque-Portuguese-Irish Mestizo); he strives to decolonize Philippine history and democratize Ethnic Studies through knowledge and creativity. Kirby is a Dátû and Lakan by blood but an Artist-Scholar-Activist at heart.

I was wondering why as many of my ancestors seem to have come from the Kapampangan regions as they were to have come from Batangas or Manila when both of my parents are Southern Tagalog (at least according to Ancestry and 23andMe). Now it makes a lot more sense to know that our Kapampangan and Tagalog ancestors were once united as the Luzones people. This video makes me at least a little more proud to be Filipino, as a whole, and want to learn more about my own Tagalog and Kapampangan roots, alike, since I’ve always felt so detached from our Filipino cultures growing up in Texas. I also appreciate the videos that highlight how our ancestors historically cooperated and had our own native civilizations spanning Luzon to Mindanao and agree with your point that we should come together, as Filipinos, to reclaim our histories and reverse our colonial mentality and tendencies that highlight our ancestors’ differences, based on ethnic/linguistic divisions, rather than their cooperation, kingdoms, etc. while also embracing the diversity of the Philippines and showing respect to members of all Filipino ethnic groups, not just the major or influential ones.

@ChristopherFornesa Жыл бұрын

@@kairenaaliyahchua2183 I actually didn’t forget, I just didn’t mention it. Although we’re all related in the sense that we share the same original ancestors our peoples always had differences, not even all peoples of Northern Luzon got along in the same sense that the (Southern) Luzones people had differences with the nearby Bikolanos and Visayans whose own peoples didn’t always get along (very clear seeing how the Battle of Mactan was quite literally fought between the Datus of Cebu and Mactan). My understanding of this is, personally, either complicated or enriched, by the fact that I also have ancestors from Northern, Central and Southeastern Luzon as well as Panay and surrounding islands and how, despite even some of them being from modern-day Southern China, Southern India and Yunnan, they did find ways to unite and accept each other regardless of their differences. So, to me, ancestors (regardless of where on the islands or beyond they came from) may not have always been united but we, now, get a chance at uniting our peoples through our ancestors’ shared linguistic heritage, cultural similarities and shared experiences under colonialism and imperialism by the West. In the same way that our ancestors historically changed ethnic affiliations via intermarriage or migration, future generations will continue to pass down their Filipino heritage and hopefully keep the traditions, practices or beliefs of our ancestors alive. At the same time we also shouldn’t underscore the fact that large cities, such as Manila, Cebu, and even smaller cities like Baguio, attracted people from all over during the times of colonialism and imperialism as well as in the present-day, thus, although most of my ancestors came from areas of the former Southern Tagalog region and Central Luzon, it’s safe to say that many of my non-Tagalog and non-Kapampangan ancestors came to the region due to its proximity to Manila. At the same time, the Kapampangan are actually more linguistically and culturally closely related to the Sambalic peoples than they were to the pre-Tagalog people who, along with the Bikolanos and Visayans, migrated from northern Mindanao to settle in the regions that their descendants (the majority of lowland Filipinos) now reside, intermixing with existing indigenous peoples, such as the Kapampangan and Sambalic peoples, as well as Aeta, Ati, and Agta peoples. These original peoples conducted what is now linguistically known as the Central Philippine language expansion and, as a result, Tagalog and Cebuano are actually both a part of this same linguistic family.

Luzon also sounds very similar to the word for rice mortar, which can be found in many Austronesian languages, which probably began as *nusung in PAN, but some languages in Taiwan already has the form luzung or lusung. Using the shape of a rice mortar to describe the shape of Manila Bay is actually pretty apt.

@paiwanhan Жыл бұрын

@@AXimab I think you mean to say from the perspective of space, since prior to the Muslims reaching China, China's maps are notoriously inaccurate. As mentioned in the video, the name Luzon used to refer to the region and peoples living around Manila Bay, and didn't become the name for the entire island and even adjacent islands until much much later. It's similar to how Taiwan was the name for the Austronesian people living in region where the Dutch built Fort Zeelandia, and later expanded to include surrounding regions encompassing present day Tainan, and finally became the name for the entire island, forcing the original region to be renamed to Tainan, meaning Southern Taiwan in Chinese.

@AXimab Жыл бұрын

@@paiwanhan Chinese seafarers would have discovered that the Bicol peninsula was not an island of its own. When did Muslims reach China ?-- as early as the Tang dynasty. The Cantonese and other southern Chinese peoples refer to their country as the "Land of Tang" (rather than the "Land of Han"). The Chinese traditionally saw the world as one with the emperor facing south, and from that perspective you have a long square thing with the Bicol peninsula sprouting from it like a pestle from a mortar. That's all I meant. I don't particularly buy the video's etymology of Lusong (from the perspective facing north, as on most modern maps, the mortar and pestle are upside down). Again we are dealing with mapmaking traditions that do not take literal geographic reality as something to depict but one that depicts time travel distances.

@paiwanhan Жыл бұрын

@@AXimab I wonder if you even watched the video, since Kirby didn't give the mortar etymology in the video. I'm simply making a comment on this other take on Luzon's etymology from the perspective of Austronesian Formosan languages. It is exactly because China's map making traditions not only do not take literal geographic reality into consideration that it would be impossible for them to see the whole of Luzon's shape as a mortar. It is more likely that the first people who arrived around Manila Bay saw the shape of the bay on top of nearby mountains and thought the bay itself looks like a mortar.

We had the wealthiest and most vibrant cultures since our tribal ancestors were renowned merchants and lived our economy through international markets and trade routes, enriching us throughout the ages. But, sadly, the Imperialist Spaniards robbed and deprived us of our Capitalistic and Mercantilist ways by the imposition of the Imperialist-Statist-feudalist regime of the Spaniards. This curse has been ingrained into the societal and political system that made us poor up to this day.

Yeah but then without the Spaniards, Philippines would not exist as well. The islands would be different nations. Each of those nations in an alternate history would be wealthy though.

I’m kapampangan and when I was in Indonesia, I was surprised to recognize a lot of the Indonesian words I was hearing as kapampangan. Particularly numbers and counting are identical. I couldn’t see any study about it online except for one anecdote of a kapampangan who was brought to Indonesia by the Spaniards and upon reaching a river was able to understand and converse with the locals. I think this connection should be studied further. Did the Indonesian’s language come from Kapampangan or was it the other way around?

Precolonial Tagalogs and kaoamoangans were both engaged in trade. The goods from China and others parts of Asia arrive in what is now Manila Bay and transported by traders via Pampanga river. Kapampangans then sell those goods up north. As such, many Chinese pottery artifacts were also dug up in Candaba, Pampanga. Precolonial Filipinos in Mindanao also enagage in trade with our neighbors in what are now Indonesia and Malaysia. Some Spanish accounts can also be biased and are used to divide and conquer us.

The Moros would take the Catholic Filipinos as slaves since it was against their Islamic religion and Sharia to enslave another Muslim. The Laws of the Indies instituted by King Phillip II of Spain forbade any indios from being slaves since pre-colonial Filipinos were practicing slavery from their raids and conquests before the Spanish came.

I always wondered why the pre-colonial Filipinos were not wiped out when Europeans made contact. If we look at the history of the native inhabitants of the American continent there are tribes or civilizations which were wiped out due to the diseases brought by the Europeans. My hypotheses are: 1. The Philippines is an archipelago so plagues or diseases will not easily spread. 2. However, if the above is the main reason, the Sugbuanons should have died due to the diseases when they made contact with Magellan and the Spanish/Portuguese. 3. Due to international trade since ancient times our ancestors built up immunity thus having robust bodies. 4. Tambalans or Mananambals were great healers lol
