The Difference Between Chinese And Filipino. Ron Josol

[@TM686K]

I'm from Kiribati in the Pacific Islands and I remember having this huge wtf moment with a Filipino co worker when we both said milkfish is our favourite fish because we both though that this fish was only eaten in our own countries. She called it "bangus" whereas we call it "baneawa". I realised we were definitely related when I found out Filipinos eat it with this coconut wine vinegar, chilli and onion sauce called "pinakurat" which we have the exact same thing we call "beneka". Been best friends ever since.

[@presrock9078]

well, i kinda have this thought that I Kiribati people could have been originated from Either Philippines or parts of Indonesia. just my opinion.

one thing for sure AUSTRONESIANS love coconuts

[@myt2645]

Well….people in the southern Taiwan love milk fish as well.

[@Intranetusa]

MY T - I read that Austronesians (or at least one major Austronesian group) originated in Southern China and Taiwan before spreading to South East Asia and the Pacific Islands around the 3000s BC. That may be one reason why so there are shared cultural similarities between the different groups.

[@richbabegang]

LOTS! And Pacific Islanders, too! Anchorage is only a small fraction of Alaska (though the largest in population and land mass), but it is relatively diverse with Black American and Sudanese communities as well. The fishing industry and Elmendorf Air Force Base are partly responsible for the area's diversity. The Sudanese presence has to do with civil unrest in their native country and asylum relocation.

Hey I agree. He’s so pucking punny. 😂I’m Filipina but grew up in Australia. I studied French and Italian for years and also learnt some German and Vietnamese at school. My parents never spoke Tagalog to us because Pa was insecure and scared that we would be targeted by racists. We moved 1979) So I learn by listening to Filipino music and watching Filipino movies and spent 6 months in Manila after high school. It’s actually really easy to learn phonetically especially if you know how to pronounce the vowels, NG and remember V is replaced with B and F Is replaced by P. I hope this helps. I’ve studied a lot of languages from Russian to Thai and Tagalog is the 2nd easiest after Indonesian Bahasa. I go to Bali a lot and have passable language skills. Tagalog is actually combo of Bahasa Indonesia, Balinese and Spanish. Hope my nerdy facts help. 😊

I selected Spanish. Korean and Japanese are something I decided to learn as an adult. I even learned the Korean Sign Language alphabet, but I have since forgotten it.

[@Tellyouwhat777]

@@thefreestylefrEaK It is true, the influence of colonization cannot be denied or forgotten. I respect your right to your opinion, but what Charmadventures PH said wasn't "silly talk." The Philippines is literally part of ASEAN. We are in fact, one of the founding countries of the union. We are also located in Southeast Asia, because...well, we just are. We're not located in Latin America, which means we don't qualify as being Latino. We also don't fully speak Spanish. We have Spanish loanwords, yes, but the languages of the Philippines are actually under the Austronesian language family. We were actually lucky enough to still retain a lot of our native languages unlike other countries colonized by Spain. We should be proud of that. If you check out our neighboring countries like Indonesia and Malaysia for example, or even learn more about Southeast Asia in general, you'd be surprised how much we actually share. I'm also not sure what you mean about food and music? Have you had Filipino food besides adobo and lechon? I'm sorry if that sounds condescending, but I'm truly confused how you could think all of our food is from Spain? A lot of our food literally comes from Southern Chinese cuisine and fellow southeast asian cuisines as well. Sinigang, Pancit Canton/bihon/palabok, lomi, siopao, tikoy, lumpia, lumpia sariwa, ngohiong, puto, bicol express, balut, dinuguan, bagoong...the list could go on forever! As for music, there's nothing more Filipino and honestly Asian than loving karaoke. lol Jokes aside, OPM is original and unique. What makes it unique is our "hugot" factor. If you're talking about "harana"...sure. You could say those are Spanish in origin. But to say all of our music is a copy from them, you need to listen to more OPM and possibly P-Pop. And if you whanna get into much of our traditional instruments are shared with our Southeast Asian neighbors. I'd also like to point out that Spain did not fully colonize ALL of the Philippines. A great portion of the southern Philippines practices Islam and in fact never fell to the Spaniards. It would be unfair to a large portion of the country to claim that the WHOLE of the Philippines culture is Spanish when a good chunk was able to resist them and does not have Spanish influence. A lot of us have last names of Spanish origin, but not everyone. You can still find a lot of Pinoys with native last names and even some of Chinese origin. We were encourage to adopt Spanish last names to fit in with Spanish society, not because the Spaniards loved us and married a lot of Filipinos. Unfortunately they viewed most of us as a lower caste ("Indio") and stuck to their own except for the rare wealthy few. Anyways, this is a long effort post, so if you don't whanna engage that's cool. You have every right to feel the way you do about it, but the idea that Filipinos are Asian, more specifically Southeast Asian is not based on nothing.

So true . All my Filipino friends in Singapore consider them Asians , like us 😃

[@maylynbayani]

@@FM-pw1ls agree. And even those with spanish blood dont consider themselves as latinos. My grandfather and my father-in-law are of both hispanic descent but if you ask them, they would just say full Filipino/Asian because it is the only culture they grew up with.

[@TheElijahKings]

True, when ppl just say Filipinos are Half Asian half Spanish it’s way to broad of a generalization, much more mixed and complicated than that.

Ron Josol, I came across just now of your video clip from the Dry Bar Comedy special, and I find your material refreshingly new! I'm Filipino and I'm proud of you, and I wish you well. May you be in the Lord God's favor.

We are not half Latino. You have to be from South America to be that. Also, Filipinos of Spanish ancestry is actually less than 10%. Just because we have Spanish names doesn’t make us Spaniards. Lastly, we are considered Austronesian.

@@thefreestylefrEaK As a Filipino, most if not all of the Spanish people did not intermix with us. It was usually the Chinese, and other Asians residing in the Philippines. And if you're gonna say "Oh what about our last names?" Bro, they forced our ancestors to change it into Spanish last names so. We are not Latinos. We are Asian.

Filipinos are hardly latinos. It's a misnomer. They did a study about this. Spanish gene comprises about 1% of filipinos. Apparently, although the spaniards conquered us, they didn't spread their genes all that much. We are more chinese than filipinos as the chinese gene comprises about 20% of the population.

[@leiferr]

You say 1%, others say 5% while others say 2%. Which one is it??? How was this study conducted?

A growing divide now is between Filipinos in the Philippines and those of the Filipino Diaspora. The latter identifies as Filipino but are largely removed from the realities in the motherland. I think this divergence of experiences have created unique experiences that are usually shared via comedy such as this. behind the humor lies this divide

[@BigD481]

It all depends where you grew up. I immigrated when i was 31. Been in the US now for almost 38 years. My inner core is still Filipino and I can relate as to how local Filipinos think and act. Filipinos who were born here and grew up here are different even nephews, nieces and my own. They look like us, they know us, some of them might even speak the language , but for the most part might as well be foreigners.

The motherland didn’t feed us, expatriates, and our relatives were greedy and were only after the money we sent to them. So yeah, screw you in the motherland. 😂

0:44 he said that Filipinos are half Asians and half Latinos. Well I’m Latino (Mexican) and I know the Philippines got colonized by Spain but Spanish ppl are NOT Latinos they are Hispanic. And a lot of Filipinos didn’t mix with the Spanish, there’s more Filipinos with Chinese blood than Spanish. Also the reason why Filipinos have Hispanic last names is bc of the naming system.
