How Filipinos In Makati Celebrate Cinco De Mayo. 🇵🇭

Filipinos are (by nature) a very friendly, affectionate, warm and welcoming people, so if you ever get an offer to celebrate & party with them, DEFINITELY DO IT!
On this occasion, the party was for the Mexican army's liberation from the French empire which is better known as Cinco De Mayo.
The Philippines & Mexico share many customs and traditions spanning over many decades, & (in recent years) this celebration seems to be growing each year.
The warm air is scented by the flavoursome mixture of Mexican food, which is balanced out by the authentic cold beverages.
As usual, there's a friendly vibe all around & you get a sense of love in the air by the Filipino smiles and gestures.

Salamat!

As an overseas Filipino, I didn't know the Philippines celebrate a mexican holiday.

@asiandude8362 Prior to filming this, I had absolutely no idea either. Some of my Spanish friends don't understand it either, but I read about the Philippines links with Mexico & it gives a little insight into why it's celebrated by the Filipino community.

@britneyspears4909 This is did not know. I'm a big history fan, so I'll be researching into this some more.

@@TryMyView Yeah they outnumbered the Spanish colonist in the country. Not only the culture they influence but also some filipino words have some Aztec/native american borrowed words in them, like, for example the word palengke (Palenque) means market in english.

[@incognitoone]

why on earth would Filipinos celebrate cinco de mayo? That's a latin american event!

[@TryMyView]

@incognitoone Probably due to their Spanish colonial links.

@@TryMyView nah, I'm filipino. I've been on this earth going 7 decades. I don't remember this being a thing here EVER! Must be some marketing gag by some liquor company or something.

@@TryMyView …. Yup … but why not make a different version ( not copied ) Cinco de Mayo is Mexican Independence Day !!! Make one significant day that is Pilipino original ….!!!

That does sound like a good idea. Incidentally, isn't there a day that is celebrated for when Philippines gained independence from the colonial Spain?
