I often say that with all of the Filipinos in this country, the Filipino organizations should fight for Filipino history to be taught in schools and colleges, just as we fought for Black history to be taught. I’m surprised to see how many people know very little about the Philippines. And as far as the Philippine American war is concerned, I “NEVER” heard of it until I began researching Philippine history, language and culture. And I am ashamed to say that I never knew that October is Filipino American month. I wish the Filipino community would make October more visible. For example, just to mention a few events; during Black History month, African American actors are highlighted on television, Sports figures and activists are celebrated, the brutal treatment of the freedom marchers is highlighted.

Tierra adorada hija del sol de Oriente, su fuego ardiente en ti latiendo está. ¡Tierra de amores! del heroísmo cuna, los invasores no te hollarán jamás. En tu azul cielo, en tus auras, en tus montes y en tu mar esplende y late el poema de tu amada libertad. Tu pabellón, que en las lides la victoria iluminó, no verá nunca apagados sus estrellas ni su sol. Tierra de dichas, de sol y amores, en tu regazo dulce es vivir; es una gloria para tus hijos, cuando te ofenden, por ti morir.

You forgot to mention that over the course of the 50 years of United States colonization of the Philippines, the United States committed genocide on an estimated 1.5 to 3 million Filipinos which included mass shootings, mass rapes and country wide pillaging of villages, cities and even the capital Manila. My grandparents’ parents were alive during that time and were just children when it all happened. Our history is completely wiped out of American history books. Most of our own people don’t even know this because we’ve been conditioned to believe it wasn’t true, but it is.

Great history. Not known in your documentary. American companies came in the 1970's,1980's,1990's even recently to hire many Filipino Nurses to supply the shortage of nurses in the U.S. Many Americans view them as taking their jobs and discriminating many Filipinos. Cheap labor as they said but I'm not sure what would happen to their health care manpower without Filipino Nurses manning their floor everyday. Besides here is a Filipino nurse taking care of an elderly WE II US Vet. Isn't that a give and take? You saved our country we take care of your Vet.

[@NextDayBetter]

Hi Mauli! Thanks so much! There were so much of our Filipino American history that we were not able to include. As you can tell, it's quite difficult to compress our Filipino American history in a 6 minute video. With that said, we're working on a beautiful storytelling of Filipino nurses across of the diaspora. Stay tuned!

[@maayongaga729]

NextDayBetter I'm one of them, thank you for highlighting our culture. My kids just don't know how hard we've been through before migrating to the U.S. I have to take 3 board exams before landing a job in the U.S. I was not planning and never dream to land a job in the U.S.I already have a job in the Philippines but in my time U.S. job hiring was left and right in the Visayas. In fact I was hired by 3 States. I was not bragging it but the shortage of manpower in the nursing homes and hospitals was enormous. Now you can even hardly find one unless you have experience. Anyway I have my big gratitude to the U.S. for giving me the opportunity to serve the people at the same time help my family back home. Homesickness and culture shock are the two hardships a Filipino immigrants face everyday. Keep up your good work and vibes my friend. Maybe someday I will meet you in the Philippines enjoying our beach, mountains, and the hospitality of Filipinos.

[@markledesma3251]

Mauli Ako when i worked at cedar sinai and ucla most of the nurses are filipino, to be a nurse is hard and most americans want an easy job.

I'm an American, I was born here as a child, I was born white, half American half German. None of the above I had a choice in, that's kind of out of our control. I do believe history is import "correct history too" I also know it's been the governing policy for who ever win a war or has the most power to write the history, which by the way is not the best idea. Many countries have their views on history writen. A wish man who was my StepFather, by the way was African American once told me, son life is like a coin. Their side our side and the fine truth is the third side "the edge " that everyone does write about. America is a good country as the philippines is a good country. I say this by the people I meet everyday, not the government's in power. Or the big companies. I'd like to leave something as food for thought. History is important honesty is very important in a government but don't let the past govern your future. Grow, love, share, be kind, be understand, no you or I control nothing truly but ourselves to change the world. I've found happiness, it's in the philippines with a maganda Filipina and her two wonderful girls. Life should be love, happiness and positive. Own your day, it's yours all day everyday. Be the most do the most you can, none are guaranteed a tomorrow.

Filipinos were discriminated and marginalized too throughout this country's history. However we continue to persevere and do not use the stigma of racism as an excuse or crutch. Instead we rise above the challenge.

[@nenopd]

Nobody uses racism as an excuse or crutch. It’s a system built to keep us and other BIPOC down and out. We can pretend that we rose alone, but just like this video history showed us, from the Black Buffalo Soldiers who defected to the Mexican farmworkers who joined the Manongs, to the Asian American protestors in the 70s, we need to keep rising and supporting each other

If Filipinos are so proud, then why many millennial Filipino Americans refuse to speak their native language? Other nationalities embrace their culture and speak their native language even if they were born in the USA. This is not the case with millennial Filipino Americans. Why?

[@novembermunoz]

Because most of us aren’t taught so respond to our parents in Tagalog. Not really sure why.

[@flukyreview9128]

@@novembermunoz that’s bullshiet. Many if not all FOB Filipinos speak Tagalog in the household and children pick up the language naturally. All other cultures are the same speaking their native languages at home. Only Filipinos, specifically the younger generation refuse to speak Tagalog. They are ashamed of it because it sounds funny. Jo koy is half Filipino and yet speaks fluent Tagalog. Why don’t you and being a full blooded Filipino? You Twinkie, brown outside and wannabe white inside.

[@ksanz81]

Because back in the day if you spoke Tagalog in public you were treated like a savage. I vividly remember being bullied in school multiple times for speaking English with a Tagalog accent… even by my teachers. So I learned to remove my accent just to make people around me comfortable so I wouldn’t be bullied or teased. Speaking in your native tongue in the 80s or 90s wasn’t widely accepted as it is now. Most people I grew up around didn’t even know what a Filipino was let alone Tagalog. I was always labeled as Chinese/Oriental or Mexican. So unfortunately assimilation killed the language for future Filipino-American kids. I got lucky, my parents taught me to speak Tagalog at home and English in public. But, this wasn’t the case for a lot of my Filipino friends. Their parents encouraged them to only speak English with the idea that their kid will have an easier time than they did trying to fit into American society if they didn’t speak Tagalog.

2:13 It was not only White Americans, but Hispanic Americans which were technically white who also didn’t like the Filipinos. They were barred from marrying whites/Hispanics until after almost 1950.

[@Duquedecastro]

*In California

[@NextDayBetter]

Wow. We didn't know that! We will look into it.

[@Duquedecastro]

@@NextDayBetter There are articles that talk about White men wanting to protect the White and Mexican women from the Filipino men. “Speaking to the Northern Monterey Chamber of Commerce in 1929, Judge D. W. Rohrback complained that the dance halls allowed Filipino men to “strut like peacocks and attract the eyes of young American and Mexican girls.” In 1929 and 1930, white Californians staged violent anti-Filipino campaigns. In one case, hundreds of white residents of Watsonville, California, formed mobs, attacking Filipino men in the city and at local ranches.”

PHILLIPINES FROM A COLONY TO POST WW II: Just wanted to share a view. Telling history still reflects a view. Philippines didn't exist as a country. It was a conglomeration of island groupings with Islam consolidating virtual control of the islands up to what was once called "May Nila" ("there are lotus flowers") or today's Maynila or Manila. Spain proclaimed the archipelago under King Philippe of Spain. Wallah! A nation was born. Then after a few centuries, Philippines wanted independence from Spain. Dr. Jose Rizal took the sword for the his seditious act. Then came the Spanish-U.S. war for control of the Spanish colonies in late 1890's - a one-package deal. The following Philippine-American War that lasted for nearly two decades resolved all national issues as the Philippine ruling class capitulated without any other recourse. Philippine was now a "commonwealth". However, it was day and night for the Filipino as the import of American freedom and democracy opened up the culture of freedom and commerce that was not experienced up to that point. Philippines became the "Pearl of the Orient" as international commerce opened up. Then Japan invaded Philippines and occupied it for more than four years. Unlike Hong Kong, Singapore, and Macau who allowed their colonial ruler to handle all post-war reparations and let the 99-year treaties expire, the Philippine ruling class chose independence over the $500,000,000 Reparation Bill set aside by the U.S. Congress earmarked for rebuilding post-war Philippines. The condition, however, was that the islands remain a U.S. commonwealth. What happened to the development of the Philippines after that? The rich families controlled practically everything and left much of the Philippines under-developed and impoverished. Also, treaties with U.S. were totally lopsided that benefitted the U.S. Our ruling class who agreed to such treaties further consolidated their hold on power and wealth. A middle class never arose. Those in poverty increased in numbers. But Hong Kong, Singapore, and Macau surged and developed economically as proven by their international status today. Their 99-year treaties with the colonial powers expired, but a developed government, infrastructure, and economy came out of them. The point is that Filipinos could have benefitted like Hong Kong, Singapore, and Macau by allowing the colonial powers to expire. Philippine suffered tremendously since WWII which drove many to immigrate to other countries to survive. Today, immigration is the dream of many in the Philippines as reflected in the massive growth of OFW's.

*** MACARIO SAKAY *** Macario Sakay SHOULD BE MENTIONED in this video. He fought the in not one but two wars. First, the Philippine Revolution against the Spanish empire and then after, the Philippine-American War. Sakay in the end surrendered to the Americans but the Americans BETRAYED him and hanged him in the end. I remember watching the movie "Sakay" in the mid 90s back in college. This Filipino hero fought not one but two wars. Very much a Filipino patriot. For Filipino Americans here, you should know who Macario Sakay is. Macario Sakay y de León (March 1, 1878 - September 13, 1907) was a Filipino general who took part in the 1896 Philippine Revolution against the Spanish Empire and in the Philippine-American War. After the war was declared over by the United States in 1902, Sakay continued resistance by leading guerrilla raids. The following year he became President of the Republic of Katagalugan. Sakay was one of the founders of the Partido Nacionalista (unrelated to the present Nacionalista Party founded in 1907), which sought to achieve Philippine independence through legal means. The party appealed to the Philippine Commission, but the Commission passed the Sedition Law, which prohibited any form of propaganda advocating independence. Sakay took up arms again. Contrary to popular belief, the Philippine resistance to American rule did not end with the capture of Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo. Several forces remained at large, including one led by Sakay. Sakay's rank and association within Aguinaldo's Revolutionary Government is unknown. When Aguinaldo surrendered to the US, Sakay seized the leadership of the revolution and declared himself Supreme President of the Tagalog Republic. He said this included all the islands of the Philippines from Luzon to Mindanao. Taking over the Morong-Nueva Ecija command and assigning his deputies to take charge of the other Tagalog regions, Sakay wrote a constitution in which traitors, or supporters of the enemy, were to be punished with exile, imprisonment, or death. In May 1902, Sakay and his men declared open resistance to the US and conducted guerrilla raids that lasted for several years . In 1905, Filipino labour leader Dominador Gómez was authorised by Governor-General Henry Clay Ide to negotiate for the surrender of Sakay and his men. Gómez met with Sakay at his camp and argued that the establishment of a national assembly was being held up by Sakay's intransigence, and that its establishment would be the first step toward Filipino independence. Sakay agreed to end his resistance on the condition that a general amnesty be granted to his men, that they be permitted to carry firearms, and that he and his officers be permitted to leave the country. Gómez assured Sakay that these conditions would be acceptable to the Americans, and Sakay's emissary, General León Villafuerte, obtained agreement to them from the American Governor-General. Sakay believed that the struggle had shifted to constitutional means, and that the establishment of the assembly was a means to win independence. As a result, he surrendered on 20 July 1906, descending from the mountains on the promise of an amnesty for him and his officials, and the formation of a Philippine Assemblycomposed of Filipinos that would serve as the "gate of freedom". With Villafuerte, Sakay travelled to Manila, where they were welcomed and invited to receptions and banquets. One invitation came from the Constabulary Chief, American Colonel Harry H. Bandholtz; it was a trap. Sakay and his principal lieutenants were disarmed and arrested while the party was in progress. At his trial, Sakay was accused of bandolerismo "under the Brigandage Act of Nov. 12, 1902, which interpreted all acts of armed resistance to American rule as banditry." The American colonial Supreme Court of the Philippines upheld the decision. Sakay was convicted and sentenced to death, and hanged on 13 September 1907.

[@ja01975]

Yes there had been struggles but you have to admit that Filipinos in the United States of America are the most privilege Filipinos in the world United States of America gave them opportunity more than any other place on this earth. myself as a son of a US Navy veteran from the Philippines I’m very thankful grateful.

[@NextDayBetter]

Is that true, especially when many Filipinos in America experience poverty, racism, and lack of opportunities for workplace advancements? Filipinos in Canada experience better access to health care for example.

@@NextDayBetter black American soldier that turn on America because when he and other American soldiers seen the Filipino soldiers they were people of color like him so he and other soldiers switch sides to help the Filipino people and he was labeled as a traitor and a bounty was put on his head for $600 that's about 18 000 dollars in today's money.

So misleading 😂 Acting like they were like Jamestown. The only reason Filipinos STOPPED ONE TIME (and didn’t stay) in the 1500’s is that they were slaves on Spanish/Mexican ships that then left for Mexico. Stop making it something it’s not.

[@Gnomelander1400]

Filipino boys over 10 were killed, Filipino men resisted and fought against colonization, some even leading the charge. they served in the U.S army in ww2 and suffered large casualties. The veterans promise and citizenship were cancelled after 1946. All of this struggle only for Filipina women to easily marry a white guy and gain citizenship to USA. The tragic tale of Filipino men.

[@ainako1010]

Should FILIPINOS LEAVE The DEMOCRATIC Party? -- What Are Filipino American Liberal Values? Playing off my previous video regarding if Filipino American values are Conservative Values, I wanted to look that question from another side. Are there Liberal Filipino American Values worth looking into? What does Filipino American Liberal values look like? I'd say, yes, there is a sense of community and mentality for social justice that Filipino Americans had their hands involved in. But is the Democratic Party the same party it was back in the 80s or 90s or even just five years ago in 2015? With Marxism and Socialism resurfacing itself in mainstream culture, I'd argue a lot of Filipino American are starting to push back. Let me know your thoughts!
