Lumaki ako noon na kasama mga chinese namin neighbors. Kami lang ang purong Pilipino na nakatira dito apartment building na ngayon ay luma na. Tuwing Chinese New Year sangkaterbang tikoy ang nare receive sa mababait namin kapitbahay. Nakaka miss yung mga araw na yon.

[@RED_WIRE]

Actually chinese people are good people pero hindi talaga mawala ang salbahi. Kahit mga pinoy mababait din pero may mga salbahi din.

[@joshuacang8370]

I expected this to be in Hokkien.

[@_heed]

Same lol

[@____-zk1iq]

Bakit ba ayaw nga mga Chinoy ng Mandarin at Cantonese? Pasensya na kasi hindi naman ako half Chinese.

[@cindyrosemaldo5746]

Hindi po sa ayaw sa mandarin. Ang hokkien ay isang dialect sa Southern region ng china. Halos lahat ng chinoy ay doon galing na pumunta dito sa pinas nung sinauna. Kaya yung iba akala mga chinoy dito sa pinas marunong mag mandarin pero iilan lng marunong kase hokkien gamit nila

[@mirror2398]

I am deeply touched by this feature story. Perhaps because I see my mom's strong resemblance to these ladies. I just feel very sad why their families opted to leave them here instead of their own homes. I don't want to judge but one mother even wishes to be visited at least once a year, it's not that troublesome naman siguro to pay her a visit. They have limited time na po, let's make them happy and appreciated po. Shout out po sa mga anak at apo. I will visit po once I get back to manila again

[@happyvlogsph9092]

My gradmother is also a half chinese and still alive at age of going to 100 years old.

[@edwardedward08]

This is so heartbreaking. When she said, pleaee visit and let us feel that we are loved kahit once a year.. wow. That hit me really really hard. To the foundation, thank you for doing God's work..

[@RED_WIRE]

Mga walang hiyang anak.

[@elmercelo9357]

Gazini pls include this in your advocacy. We love our elderly citizens, our grandparents. They are our gems, our life! May God bless you all!

[@RED_WIRE]

I wish I'm rich so that I can give financial support to the elderly people in the Philippines. I consider them as filipino because they are in the Philippines. Our family take care of my single aunt when she was sick until her last day. She was my father elder sister, even my dad died before my aunt we still take care of our aunt. We loved her very much. My father's side family was a chinese by blood family but pinoy by heart.

[@sinergyflux8639]

This deeply moves me. The word, "Ahma" brings back memories of my grandmother. It is sad to see these ladies being alone. What is wrong with those kids? I wished I lived nearby; I would volunteer to take these grandmas to the beach or park just to be out and make them feel they are not alone.

[@alanneri8043]

This break my heart to hear these seniors left behind by their own children.

[@joneslo5572]

It's always a blessing to take care of the aged, the neediest,the sucks.

[@jddanlog1565]

This really broke my heart😭

[@user-zy6id4dr1i]

Why does it feel like this channel is suppressing the use of Hokkien? One of the elderly clearly had a heavy accent while speaking Tagalog and could not speak it straight. Why make things harder for her?

[@mirror2398]

I feel you. It's part of our culture to mix chinese and local dialect when we talk. This feels oppressed.

[@brynhard]

Hope they shared Chinese culture and tradition also the language

[@RED_WIRE]

I agree about the language sana ilagay sa curriculum sa Philippine Education. Gusto natin o kahit hindi natin gusto ang mga chinese( China ) Chinese culture is part of filipino culture.

[@louieflores5498]

hell no

[@rickyboy6390]

They wouldn't do it here since this the Philippines but many Filipinos are just never interested with chinese culture after the bullying in the west Philippines sea not much would like but I only like there people and culture but not there government because they are the ones whom are greedy since I'm a chinoy

[@JuriBinturong]

why is this mandarin? chinoys are hokkien

[@jojoregalado5355]

Di ko talaga maitindihan kung bakit nakakayang iwan ng mga anak ang magulang nila. Ako ang nag alaga sa Nanay namin until she was taken by the Lord. Mga pinsan ko sila rin nag aalaga sa aging parents nila. Walang kaluluwa ang mga anak na nag aabandona sa magulang nila.

[@aiomeelodones7431]

I'm looking for my grandfather he's pure chinese but separated to us his family. I dont know if he is still in the Chinese cemetery home for the aged.

[@allenalamis4615]

This is not a Filipino culture. 😭😭😭😤 Filipino culture is family oriented 😢 Ang mga magulang natin ay kasama parin natin kahit na matatanda na Sila.😢😢 Bakit nila ginawa iyan?😭😭 Chinoy nga Hindi Chinese. So it means your already mix with the Filipino family oriented culture. Nakakainis Naman Sila.😤😢😭

[@yattasuccess9212]

Kahit na matanda na lola ko kinakaya parin namin ng nanay ko at ung mga tito at tita ko para mabuhay kami na kasama sya, at least para sa last ilang decades ma-feel ng lola ko na meron paring nakakaalala sakanya, nakakaiyak po ng konti makita tong video kasi it just makes me feel bad for those na mga anak na walang magawa kung either iwanan ang kanilang nanay o nagkaron ng walang ibang choice kung hindi ito. Chinese family po kami pero I think these filipino customs in the philippines, even if to many people especially those from China mainland may not understand as it is very impractical, it's still the person who raised and cared for you and that decision was purely emotional, and We have to give back in some way.

[@kikovelasco2366]

May mga pilipino din na iniiwan ang magulang sa home for the aged. Desisyon yan ng anak d yan dahil sa culture kasi ang chinese family oriented din dahil sa turo ni confucius.

[@kayedee1866]

Most Chinese in Philippines are from Fujian.

[@masterkoi29]

To all who doesn't know. Hokkien dialect was the dialect of Chinese from fujian. Fujianese traced back their origin from the Han Dynasty and because of migrations to southern part of china. If all of you doesn't know Chinese history. Then you won't know how Han people spread all over Asia.

[@xiaolong143]

And your comment has no substance at all...

[@nikogopez2379]

ever wonder why there are also Filipino home for the aged? leaving your parents in the home for the aged is neither a Filipino culture or a Chinese culture, it's just a matter of one's attitude towards their parents. both cultures embrace the importance of family, FYI.

[@mesoridazine]

As former Chinese born and raised in the Philippines most uneducated Chinese are also discriminated upon by local( my father was uneducated migrant). I was denied re-entry to Philippinea after 2 years stay in USA. The USA was gracious to allow me to stay( despite not being born in USA) and subsequently granted US citizen. I now can visit Philippines as US citizen. Would have preferred to live in Philippines and practice my medical profession there after all I got my education there and got my license there by passing the board examination there. It was hard to convert to Filipino citizenship in 1972 unless you can afford it. Grew up in Tondo and speak Tagalog fluently.

[@jamesfaustinooconnell9699]

Cindy mananzala do you even understand what you just said? They are filipino chinese people aside from speaking tagalog fluently its kind of obvious they follow the catholic church and not taoism yet your telling us they never embrace the filipino side in them?... To abandon your grandperents in a home for aged has nothing to do with the chinese traditions stop acting like a holy witty wannabe
