It's just nice to see Jess really very much into Philippine history and culture. She even is more used to calling the wash room as CR--which is very Filipino and only we Filipinos call it as CR.

[@f.s6758]

meanwhile china is busy bullying our fihermen and solder and stealing philippine islands

[@bornokyo5575]

Amazing insight and explanation. Simple and easy. The Chinese revolted so much to the heavy tax imposed by Spain and yet their influence in Filipino culture is everywhere.

[@aejoymamotosfermin2497]

Salamat sa Virtual tour sa Chinatown Museum, Jessica. Ang Dami Kong nalaman na mga History & Traditions ng KOREA, CHINA, and PHILIPPINES. The best ka talaga mag explained ng mga topic mo, Napaka detailed.. 💖💖🥰💖💖. Napaka educational Ang mga Content mo, Jess 💯❤️

[@aejoymamotosfermin2497]

Jessica -"there are like Product in the Philippines it doesn't mean like every single thing in the Philippines were influence by China such as, like this Jar. There was already a jar here in the Philippines as well before Chinese came." 3:11 Grabe napaka galing mo talaga mag explain, Jess. Kaya idol na idol kita eh.. We will support you always and forever.🇰🇷❤️🇵🇭

[@joserizal6773]

She said that Jar already had before the Chinese came in the Philippines 3:20 - 3:36

[@Ai-vq8rj]

We actually named some foods with chinese places even though it's a new food or modified food because the inventor of those foods are filipino chinese....for example Shanghai roll was named after Shanghai but Chinese people are not familiar with these food, because it was invented in Philippines by a chinese immigrant....also the philippine siopao is slightly different from chinese sio bao, it's because siopao was invented in Philippines by a chinese immigrant, siopao dough is so soft and so pluffy perfected by the inventor...Mami was also inspired by chinese soup noodles but the inventor of the dish was a chinese immigrant in Philippines....although these foods were invented and modified by chinese Filipino immigrants these are totally in a new category of foods inspired by chinese foods...Chinese food enthusiasts actually surveyed these filipino foods and shocked to know that these are the same in concept but totally different in nature....

[@xXxSkyViperxXx]

siopao actually comes from cantonese char siu pao. filchi restaurants got it from those living in hong kong before who migrated to ph as well decades ago

[@viperkev1759]

U pinos don’t invent those food,it’s just turned a poorer version here in Philippines😅 don’t ever think the food was invented here , it taste different cuz the ancient Chinese settler was not originally a cook in china😂

Thank you ate Jessica for opening Philippines Chinese history

[@abra.hui.]

I'm Filipino with a Chinese descent, but government is so biased that they always highlight our culture influenced by Spain. They also should mention the older traditions, cultures, and government of muslim history that have similarities with neighbor Malaysia and Indonesia. When you mentioned "encouraged by Spaniard"... that's not really accurate as "most of them" we're forced to convert to Christianity, and if not then they'll either be rape, death by hang, boiled to water, get a hole in skull by gunpowder etc.. They also use the method of getting the kids of the Village leader and other normal kids and raised as Christian so once their parents died, those kids will continue to live in a Christian way.. I love my country but Government don't give justice on our story. The foods of Spanish that mixed with us was also influenced by Ottoman Empire so our foods is so unique that it's mixed with Spain and Middle.. Don't forget also that it's not only adobo or sinigang, those muslims that was not converted by Christians also have different foods and there's a lot of different foods on every tribes.. I think you should know it since you love Philippine Culture too..

[@antoniogutierrezjr7471]

Those where not true Christian but tribes head hunted soo they where doing even as well with out Christ we all savages

[@xXxSkyViperxXx]

are you muslim or something? what's with the focus on muslims so much??

[@Gregvert]

A long but ignorant comment! Stop wasting our time with inane comments like this!

[@iceteazen]

Because its true that Philippines is more Spanish in terms of culture. just look at around you like fiesta its very common. Plus there is no Philippines without Spain. It's actually Spain that consolidated the islands.

[@abra.hui.]

@@iceteazen there is no Philippines without Spain, you kidding me, that's F-ing stupid to say, do we look like rock that doesn't move at all hahaha? Anyway Spanish culture are also derived from Ottoman Muslim empire during Golden Era so whatever, most of "good" Spanish cultures and cuisines are also came from Muslim so I don't mind. Whatever

[@davisurdaneta1426]

That's right, the Philippines - China relation were already established way before the Europeans discovered East Asia. The now Philippines archipelago were composed of independent smaller kingdoms, Sulu was the biggest, more established and more powerful. The sultan to Sulu had good foreign relation with the emperor of China, if I am not mistaken, one of the Sultan died in China during his foreign visit upon the inviation of the Emperor, and buried there. When China became a communist country and the Philippines was still under the influence of the US, as former American colony, that's when the relation soured. Nowaday, the relation between China and the Philippines, is mostly political and economic, unlike in the past that were many cultural exchanges. In recent years the relation deteriorated due to the territorial dispute in the Spartlys and West Philippine sea. The Philippines is in odd situation between the 2 major rivals. Only time will tell what tomorrow brings.

[@jamesp7399]

The ruling was in favor of the Philippines as you can see here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippines_v._China

[@iceteazen]

US and China back then where not rivals. USA even sanctioned Japan prior to WW2. During WW2 the Americans and Chinese are on the same side. The rift between China and USA began after the Chinese civil war. Communist won and the ROC retreated to Taiwan. ROC (Republic of China) was the former ruler of China, they are US allies during WW2 and they are more pro-capitalist much like the US. That's why you see Taiwan having close ties with the US. While the CCP(Chinese Communist Party) are more pro Soviet. Russians where actually the former enemy of the Chinese people. The Russian empire had stole much of their land in the north. Even Vladivostok today where former territory of Qing dynasty.

A lot of the Chinese-Spanish hybrids and decent over time forgot their Chinese roots and would present themselves as Spanish decent only due to the prestige it gave; most of the Spanish girls from not so well to do Spanish families in colonial Philippines were encouraged by their parents to marry Chinese men who had more money to ensure a sustainable/affluent future for their daughters, the Chinese men liked the idea so they can gain perks, additional rights, racial prestige and a pretty wife.

[@jil2936]

These overseas territories of the Spanish Empire were under the jurisdiction of Crown of Castile until the last territory was lost in 1898. Spaniards saw the dense populations of indigenous peoples as an important economic resource and the territory claimed as potentially producing great wealth for individual Spaniards and the crown. Religion played an important role in the Spanish conquest and incorporation of indigenous peoples, bringing them into the Christian faith peacefully or by force. The crown created civil and religious structures to administer the vast territory. Spanish colonists settled in greatest numbers where there were dense indigenous populations and the existence of valuable resources for extraction.[1]The Spanish Empire would expand across the Caribbean Islands, half of South America, most of Central America and much of North America. It is estimated that during the colonial period (1492-1832), a total of 1.86 million Spaniards settled in the Americas, and a further 3.5 million immigrated during the post-colonial era (1850-1950); the estimate is 250,000 in the 16th century and most during the 18th century, as immigration was encouraged by the new Bourbon dynasty.[2] anyway, happy chinese new year!

I am from Binondo ( my hometown) , Manila, Philippines !!

[@deev2569]

I appreciate that you mentioned that just because something appears in both Chinese culture and the Philippines, it doesn't necessarily mean something is influenced by China or something is from China. Most foreigners and some Filipino (to make it easier for foreigners to understand) would describe something with another country's name. This is just an example but I have heard batchoy described as Filipino pho. Or BGC looking like Singapore (defnitely not because Singapore has a different look and feel). Or if a thing that looks or tastes like another country's thing then it will be described as though the Philippines copied it without any consideration that because of trade years ago, these foreign traders could have easily brought things that they enjoyed in the Philippines to their own countries. Most people do not think about such things just because they have been to that other country first and then see something similar in the Philippines.

[@hazelnafsika5130]

True!

[@LuisCruz-ne5wo]

True. Philippines even has the oldest known advanced rice culture, so who is more Asian now? Haha

[@MrKillthepolice]

​@@LuisCruz-ne5wo can you give me the reference?

[@oliverenterprises3526]

@@LuisCruz-ne5wo Rice culture started somewhere in southern China and the northern parts of modern day Vietnam.

[@deev2569]

@@oliverenterprises3526 the South Asians may have something to say about that. Some say they were the first to start cultivating rice. See even mass cultivation of rice can not be claimed by one culture. We do not know what happened back then and the movement and results of trade and travel. Some things can be definitely be said as originating from a particular country. Example, Korean handwriting. It is a created language by Koreans. No one else can claim it. Some things appear in many cultures that it is hard to pinpoint where it actually from or if it has an origin. We humans are quite adept at using and creating things from our surroundings. They could easily come up with something similar. Example, something as intricate as the periodic had two people working on it about the same. Mendeleev created the one that is widely accepted. Or history could have gotten it wrong or for nefarious reasons like the monopoly game which was attributed to the wrong person because his was the better origin story and Parker Brothers went with it knowing he was not the inventor. One origin story that I like is Tamarind's. Widely popular in Latin American Countries, the Caribbean, South Asia and Southeast Asia, I read that it is actually native to East Africa. So I asked an Ethiopian lady about tamarind products especially candy in her country and showed her a picture. Her answer: I know that fruit but we do not pay much attention to it. 😆😁. All I am saying is that we should be mindful in claiming something or attributing something to one country. History is in the hands of the current interpreters. I do not know how often we get it right especially when we are talking about ancient history.

Chinese and Filipinos have bump head long before that historical date mentioned in the vlog this is before Chinese where called Chinese and Filipinos where called Filipinos, it happen when the Chinese have learn to navigate the sea and bump into southeast Asian people, this is long before the allowed passage, stablish route and trade link with the imperial China then, the recorded dates will be the aftermath (trade accounting, administration etc.) and this are not exclusive to China other nations would have done it as well and not exclusive to Binondo as well other parts of the Philippines would traded as well, southeast Asian is just the earliest maritime sea farer in the region so the 1st. contact would have been a lot earlier, possibly a thousand years more earlier. Imperial China is located up in the north (Dry Land) the 1st. contact would have been a non imperial one but the trade records would have been imperial, there would have been a huge gap in between the two.

[@hanzocloud]

Wow Chinese had contact with Filipinos long before the Spanish.. I am wondering what did the Chinese call the Filipinos back in the 9th century? Like before they got their country name as Phillipines, what did China or neighbouring countries call them back then?

[@xXxSkyViperxXx]

呂宋 (Lū-sòng) in Hokkien Chinese, the nearest Chinese people north of the Philippines that were often sea merchants. The term means "Luzon" because Luzon is the first major island they encountered and Luzon used to refer to the Pasig River Delta in between Intramuros and Tondo. Intramuros used to be the original Manila. The area in between Tondo and Manila used to be called Lusong, named after Tagalog word "lusong" meaning either "descent to a lower place; stepping into water" or "rice mortar", both of them written "lusong", but velarde map during 1700s says it's the rice mortar but the former definition makes more sense.
