World's OLDEST CHINATOWN | Walang marunong mag Chinese? 🥺

[@rochellofalla4946]

Most of us Chinese in the Philippines speaks Hokkien(Minnan Hua), cause most of came Fujian. But some decendants don't speak like Chinese in Malaysia and other Southeast Asia. But most of us learn Mandarin or Pu Tong Hua. Most are 2nd or 3rd generation youths born here. Some are not diligent even if both their dad and mom are Chinese. 你會說一口流利的中文，帶有台灣口音。

[@alroberts193]

My nephews are half Chinese & went to Kung Hua Chinese School in CDO from Elementary to High School but they can't even speak fluent Mandarin. They are now middle age with families.

[@lazybear236]

If you speak Taiwanese it is similar to Philippine Hokkien and you can make yourself understood. Better than Mandarin

[@markv1974]

My grandparents are cantonese. Nobody learned chinese. 😅

[@mark72141]

Mana did not do her homework before going to Chinatown, Philippines. She should have done some research. That's why not everyone understands her when she speaks Mandarin.

[@abra.hui.]

I'm Muslim Filo with Chinese descent. I speak 6 languages and yet I don't know how to speak Chinese since we never practice chinese cultures and celebrations. Just like what you said, some of us don't have diligent about their ancestry so we forget our roots. My mother side is Chinese while my father side is Bruneian but both of my family are Muslims so obviously we only practice the teaching of our religion. I don't even know I have Chinese blood since my mother don't even care about it, until my grandmother told me that we have Chinese blood althou I look Chinese and have fair skin that stands out when I was a kid. Now that I'm adult, I'd like to have more midtone so I can blend and don't get more attentions

[@kyriellepunongbayan6909]

most chinese in binondo are given with spanish names during the spanish era...only new immigrants speaks mandarin

No ! they speak butchikek

[@balistab1125]

I know Binondo many are only part Chinese or no longer speak Chinese & the ones that do speak Hokkien. I was scared you weren't going to find a Mandarin speaker, I was so happy when you finally found one! Here in California back then in the Chinatowns not many speak Mandarin also, mostly Cantonese, but today most Chinese can speak Mandarin.

[@balistab1125]

Some people there are already 20th generation Chinese as the Manila Chinatown been there for centuries

[@pnoisurfr]

It’s impressive that you could speak so many languages. Its no wonder you picked up English quickly. You’ll have to tell us how you did it. Good luck with your Tagalog.

[@AceMontalban-z6m]

I must say, I am absolutely captivated by this new vlogger and their incredible content showcasing the beautiful places in the Philippines.

Mana try visiting Ma Mon Luk restaurant its one of the most famous and oldest chinese restaurant in the Philippines in Manila, they are famous for Siopao and Mami which is similar to ramen but different flavor, Try to get to know the history of Ma Mon Luk, I am not sure if its located still in Cubao, you wont get disappointed with there asado or chicken siopao and Chicken or beef Mami, please try and visit the place and try the food and learn the history of that famous restaurant

[@Noodles-sd9hb]

Unfortunately, Ma Mon luk's recipes changed. The Mami, siopao etc no longer taste like they were back in the 80s

The friendship between the Filipinos and the Chinese is hundreds of years old. The best friends of the Filipinos in Asia are Chinese, South Korean, and Japanese. 🇵🇭🇨🇳🇰🇷🇯🇵

[@lunar-e.6620]

😂 what hundreds? maybe thousand years.... even before Gregorian Calendar Chinese and Filipinos nowdays have been products trading partners. Chinese introduced their best porcelain products and clothings to ancient Filipinos while Filipinos introduced pearl, golds, and decorative shells.... they did barter of products that era.

[@nescafestick38]

friend? with china? really?

[@ferdiedoblon8692]

Your stay in Taiwan during the quarantine period paid off well, Mam Mana! If you were stuck here instead maybe your Filipino be much better by now. Hopefully, you stay here longer and complete your skills to all your acquired languages. Gabatte ne!

hello mana, your vibe and atritude has adapted to filipino cuz you really want to interact with other people amd start a conversation, which some foriegners are really hesitant.. thats the perks for living quite long on the philippines.. more power to you channel..

[@SpiritualityandHealth-ue2fu]

Great video! I am half Filipino and half Chinese. Most that speak Hokkien also speak Mandarin. Mandarin is the native chinese dilect.

[@ManduRugas-oe4kv]

Majority of the chinese immigrants in the philippines are from fookien province in souther china so the language difference i have personnaly witnessed this back in the 70's when a bus load of tourist from taiwan came to our place in manila to visit our chinese neighbors who sell's chinese medicine they cant understand each other.

In Pangasinan province, most Chinese come from Fujian province, PROC & most of them speak Hokkien. Pangasinan was once a tributary state during the Ming dynasty in China, early 14 century, before the colonization of the Phils.

[@i-am-your-conscience]

At the smaller family restaurants, there are often families that still kept up their traditions and can also speak chinese - or hokkien more likely, because like in other Chinatowns and early immgration, most of them came from Fujian. At the big merchandise places like Eng Bee Tin, not so much. Recommendations that are also next each other: > New Po Heng Lumpia House - for their Lumpia! > Quik Snack - for Oyster Cake and Kuchay Ah (chinese empanada)

[@alzacksd4761]

usually service waters are from "TAP water" be careful if you are not used to on drinking tap water.

[@yragyarag]

Mana i recommend ying ying. Or queck snack ni carvajal

[@maguire5302]

Yes. I saw some of the comments already. The earlier Chinese people who came to the Philippines are Cantonese and later from Fujian. The Cantonese then went back to China specifically Hong Kong because they thought that there are great things happening in Hong Kong that time and since they speak Cantonese, it is to their advantage. So the ones left are the Chinese from Fujian which speaks Minnan. If you say you can speak Taiwanese, maybe that's the Taiwanese dialect which is very close to Hokkien. But surprisingly in this video, you were not able to converse it when you heard Hokkien which should be similar to the Taiwanese dialect. Maybe the Taiwanese language that you mean is the mandarin language which is of course same with Chinese mandarin 😁. Love your videos Manna. Where are you? Why are you not making more videos lately? Take care.

[@mark72141]

Majority of the Filipino-Chinese originated from Fujian Province and they speak Hokkien. Some do speak Mandarin especially the new arrivals from mainland China. Some also speak Cantonese, the one spoken in Hongkong. So, you better speak to them in Hokkien if you're in the Philippines.

If I'm not mistaken, most of the Chinese people in Chinatown can speak Hokkien and rare if you encounter a Mandarin speaker.

[@thornados4969]

Lang-lang-ue is the chinese people language which is a Philippine Hokkien, a variation of Min-Nan dialect or south china's Min dialect.

Well, she lived in Taiwan for many years before she even set foot in the Philippines. If I am not mistaken, Taiwan is the first country she visited. She was even featured in many Taiwanese vloggers. In one of the vlogs where the topic was about "first time" (i.e. first boyfriend, first kiss, first sex, etc.), she's very shy and awkward answering those questions 😁😁 She even guested in a Taiwanese TV show. Yeah, that where I got to see or watch Mana for the first time.
