The First Filipinos in America: Long Before the Pilgrims!

[@KirbyAraullo]

What part of Filipino history in America surprised you the most? 🤔

[@xicotencatlpinzon6580]

Hi Kitby, I am glad you posted this video. It is another effort to know about our history in common. I have dedicated my last five years to work on the legacy of the Manila galleon in Mexico and the Acapulco Galleon in the Filipinas. The results of all the DNA testing I have done and hundreds of volunteers have shared with me are astonishing. We share the same genes. I have a lot to say about my research but in the meantime I am open for questions. Maraming Salamat.

Enjoyed your video. I always suspected Moro Bay had something to do with Filipinos since I saw it on the map over 50 years ago. And, I heard of "Filipino Cajuns" who arrived in Louisiana in the 1800s and jumped ship and stayed when the Spaniards left area. The term "Manila Men" is new to me. But, they're probably the same group of Filipinos due to the geographical proximity of New Orleans. Thank you for your research and video. Do you a book regarding this topic?

It doesn't surprise me at all I grew up with the Filipinos in California in San Diego we are the same Mexicans Americans and Filipinos we have so much in common My first girlfriend in sixth grade she was Filipina very beautiful

[@ericmahinay3065]

I personally understood that Filipinos were the first Asians to arrive in the United States, even before it was known as the USA. I also learned that there were early Filipinos in California as well as in Louisiana. I’m glad I discovered this information online in the early 2000s when I first started using the internet.

[@paulflores9909]

Indians as referred as Native Americans were the first Asian that reaches the American continent. Native Americans crossed the Bering Straight through the Ice Bridge from the Asian Continent.

The first Asian if you do not consider the Amerindians as such are the Chinese under Admiral Yong Zhe (pls correct me if that is the right name). In fact, many of the Amerindians are born to have blue buttocks, an indictator that they have Chinese DNA. This happened long before the Spaniards colonized the Philippines. There is a book about this.

@ Why should I trust you?? I already read the book years ago. The travels of Admiral Zheng He I believe it was during the Ming Dynasty. The book title : 1421 The Year China Discovered America by Gavin Menzies Amazon May still have it. As I said blue buttocks among native Amerindians were indicators of Chinese DNA and racial inter-mixing. This is a proven fact. In the Philippines this is also prevalent among families with Chinese ancestry. Ask your doctor to be enlightened.

Thank you Kirby for bringing this to light. Read about the early Filipinos in America from a book, Filipino Americans(forgot the name of the author). Wish more Filipinos could watch your vlog. Long before the OFWs was coined, we had Filipinos visiting and migrating to other parts of the Spanish colonies by way of the Galleon trade. It is said/written that the “Pinoys” were with Fr.Junipero Serra in his quest to establish missions in California. And that the Ataulfo mango from Mexico is the little sister of the larger Philippine mango. Hope you can explore where most of the Filipinos settled in Mexico and if there is any evidence they ventured to Canada. Maraming salamat

Just like in Vietnam, over 160 years ago, the Vietnamese had a completely different language and writing.

You should do how Filipinos introduced Tuba and Lambanog to Mexico, which lead to Tequila.

[@ynnos5555]

The Mexican liquor already existed prior. It was only the Filipino method of how the sap is harvested that has been adopted for its efficiency compared to their old method.

[@Basta11]

@@ynnos5555 According to Paulina Machuca in her book El vino de coco, a professor of history from Colegio de Michoacan. Filipinos introduced Tuba making to Mexico and also Lambanog, which was called vino de coco. According to her research, vino de coco was very popular until it was supressed by Spanish authority because it competed with Spanish liquor. The Mexicans took the technology of distilling vino de coco and used it to create mescals, which Tequila is a varient. Its well documented. Just look at the Wikipedia for mescal.

[@ynnos5555]

@@Basta11 isn’t that what I said? They took the process of making tuba and applied it in their local liquor production which is Mezcal. Tequila is a type of mezcal or Mexican liquor that predates Filipino contact. The origins of tequila date back to around 250-300 A.D.

[@Basta11]

@@ynnos5555 that is not what you said. And then that you are saying is completely contradicted by the evidence by Mexican historians themselves. Mescal did not exist prior to Filipinos coming into the region because the Mexicans did not have distillation technology. First, Tuba and Lambanog (vino de coco) were very popular in the 1600s. When the Spaniards outlawed it and destroyed many coconut plantations, that is when the Mexicans applied vino de coco distillation technology to pluque (from agave) which they had, which became Mezcal to which Tequila is a version that become globally popular.

[@carlosrodas423]

The video seems a bit embellished. The more accurate description is that the Spaniards brought some of them along as shipmates/laborers and occasionally used them for interactions with natives. This video makes it seem as though they were central to the Spanish Americas project. There's not much evidence that the Luzones indios came in large numbers. And when they did come, they would have do so with assimilation as subjects of Spain, and the few that settled in the Americas would have been absorbed into the general population, marrying local women and then their mixed children losing their language and fast becoming indistinguishable from a typical local Spanish Americas person, physically, linguistically and culturally. Genetic studies of people in Latin America haven't found large asian admixture. There's probably more Chinese admixture (from latter immigration waves) in Latin America, although still small. Indigenous American, European and then some African are the three overwhelming sources of ancestral traces, matching the historical account and genetic evidence...with Chinese and middle easters following, as a result of latter migrations. Don't get me wrong. I'm glad the story is being told about Filipinos in the Americas. But it's inaccurate to make it so prominent.

@@FREEMEN.1989 Filipinos have primarily Austronesian DNA. Traces of that are hardly found anywhere among Latin Americans, and many large scale genetic studies have been made. The historical record also doesn't show large-scale movement to the Americas. My point was that hard evidence doesn't support the claim that Luzones indios had a prominent role in the Spanish project of colonizing the Americas, or "central" role as the video incorrectly says. To the contrary, it was native warriors from Mexico, the Tlaxcalans and others, who made up most of the troops that conquered in the Americas along the Spaniards, and were even taken to the Philippines to help subdue the islands. But I'm glad this part of the story of the Americas (luzones indios) is being told even if it's a minor one.

Spanish colonies had the history on sailing across the ocean. Native Americans were Asians who traversed Bering Sea. Some Filipinos, Mexicans and Native Americans tend to have similar beauties.

The indigenous natives selected the term "Filipino" for themselves when they declared independence from Spain in 1898 as Republica Filipina. So what if it was originally a Spanish term? Ever since the successful War for Philippine Independence in 1898, the Filipinos have been recognized as a separate and vibrantly unique ethnic and cultural identity which can no longer be discarded. There is no other term that can replace the name Filipino in the annals of world history because to do so will make the world forget what the people from the Philippines have already accomplished.
