I am one of the baby boomers and this video brings back a lot of memories for me, I was born in the mid 50's and used to live in San Fernando Pampanga PH. I remember vividly the "Kalabaw", meals eating dried fish, garlic fried rice, living in a Nipa hut made out of bamboo leaves and bamboo. There was no running water so we have to collect water from the public "Poso or water pump" using a bucket, no toilet back in the days as this was after the WW2. That was our everyday normal routine / life and we don't know any better. Looking back, a lot has changed since then and now but I'm just glad I have experienced that kind of life, otherwise I won't appreciate the life I have today. The Gender Equality has improved now but men still get paid more than women for the same job. The modern convenience has a lot of improvement this day and age. The advanced technology like cars, phones, household appliances, etc.. My 2 cents? Life was much simpler back in the days than today but I won't trade the fresh running water and the modern plumbing like toilet, shower and bathtub. I know that there's a lot of ppl in this world sleeping like we're still the 50's but I hope their life improves as the time goes by like mine.

Way back when farmers can have a decent life. My grandfather was a farmer too and he managed to send all 12 children to school. Also he bought hectares of land as well. Farmers these days are so undervalued and not compensated enough for their hard work. This is what happens when the system only made for the rich.

[@thereakii]

Right. When I was a kid, I couldn't help but overhear my grandparents' and parents' conversations. They would talk about the lands they bought, and the lands that they own. I was surprised because our family is only middle-classed, but my grandparents afforded to buy lands. Sorry if my grammar ain't good though.

He sound exactly like filipino man who speaks fluent English. It was a documentary about the life of a typical filipino family who are Farmers back in the 50’s. The narrator might be an actor, journalist or an English teacher. He doesn’t sound American at all.! I mean are kidding me! His Tagalog pronunciation was spot on. I can’t even wrap my head around your comment. And add to my annoyance are the people who acknowledges your comment! I reckon you never met a decent Filipino who speaks fluent English. What a shame.

[@jeb.2x]

@@Maya-yp2ey I have met a lot of Filipinos who speak fluent English. Ones with accents, and ones without. None of the Filipinos with accents I've ever heard remotely speak the way he does. He can't pronounce tagalog words, and he even butchers his children's names. There's no consistency in the way he speaks at all. It also doesn't make your point to say that he doesn't sound American, because I wasn't saying that he sounds American. I was saying he's trying to fake what a fluent English-speaking Filipino would sound like. I only assumed he was American, because this is an American documentary. Even if you look up old footage and dialogues of fluent English-speaking Filipinos from that era, none of them sound like him. What I've said in my original comment is most likely true, because America, during the 50's, wasn't very inclusive to foreigners with anything. It was an era when most of the country was very racist, especially Hollywood and other film industries in the country. So it wouldn't be a stretch to believe that they hired a white man to do a voice over pretending to be a Filipino.

These are idealised visions of home life but as someone who might be old enough to be your father and one who has friends who grew up in farms and plantations, it's not as idyllic as these scenes appear to be. It's a hard scrabble life. What's the indication of that? Just look at the need and failure of land reform. It was meant to pull these people out of poverty but the advancing average age of farmers show how difficult it is for the next generation to take over. The need for capital and competition from more efficient farming in other countries squeeze margins and starve farmers.

I got to dance different kinds of Filipino folk dances. And every afternoon we would walk home on foot, passing by the what was once a majestic beautiful lake we called "lamak" with many farmers and carabaos working until sun down. Those were golden years. The years where we still don't have smartphones and computers.

True, most Philippine farmers today don't speak English. Too much pride in dying languages is holding millions of people back. And schools focus way too much on arts and on contests. Because of rampant corruption in the Philippines--in every level of government--the economy is weak compared to other countries in the region. So English proficiency was the only advantage Filipinos had...but it's fading. :(

People are not corrupted by greed, technology and stuff. Filipinos were very family oriented, Polite, Friendly and resilient living a productive life after WWII ended.

I haven't finished my college but I'm already a thousand dollars in debt in college loan and I have to get a part time job but still my grandparents asking my parents way too much. All because some of my relatives are lazy to work and just relying for financial assistance while pressuring my dad just because they thought that we have a better life here in the US, we're not rich, we're just like every other simple families.

He introduced his wife, a newspaper editor, and shared that he'd been in government with Ferdinand Marcos. He told me to look out the window at the green as far as you could see. He said, " We have one of the longest growing seasons in the world, we have an educated population, we were a developing country but now we are third world...."
