My Experience as a Filipino-American

[@brendaprice7326]

WOW!!!!! I am Filipino American too! I am laughing and crying as I watch your video because it is so true! Everything you said! I too have a gazillion cousins apparently in Philippines that I have not met yet same with my brother. I dream is to go to the Philippines one day and meet everybody. My mom was Filipino. My dad was American and they are both with Jesus now. I’m so excited to watch your journey and I hope someday have my own journey there too!

Lou Diamond Phillips is Pilipino and he played a Mexican twice ! Rocker Ritchie Valens in the 80s movie La Bamba. And Angel Guzman in Stand and deliver.

[@NALFVLOGS]

I like this a lot

[@Freinersen]

This seemed really genuine and from the heart. I enjoyed it very much.

[@smillawafer]

I had no clue that you’re halfie I’ve been watching your videos since you played in Germany a couple years ago I am half German half Filipino 🎉

[@SilasNacita]

Let’s gooooooo

[@jamesconley6421]

I am glad that you are interested in your ethnicity. Hopefully you will be here for the championship honor in November

[@Edzpab]

Love your vlog!! 🇵🇭

[@Edzpab]

You have a lovely family!

Going to a Catholic school in Vancouver - we had a huge proportion of Filipino's. I was a fullback, and my tailback was filipino - and now that I know it about you - I see a lot of similarities... So that makes you the same % Filipino as Pharrell Williams - except his Filipino parent is his mom.

[@jshu-_-]

PHARRELL IS FILIPINO???

[@stephenmcnamara8318]

@@jshu-_-I was under the impression for years that his mom was filipino - and a 1971 beauty queen (but he was born in 72 - so might be a stretch). Upon doing further research, that info might be wrong...his Neptune partner Chad is. The info I had was his mom was Carolyn Masibay

theres lot of things in your Kitchen, that you can learn Tagalog & Spanish words, kusina or cusina is a Spanish word also

[@Matt..S]

the v/f to b/p change in languages is pretty common. A great example is live/life from the german lebe/Leben

[@joergfro7149]

Alles gut bei Dir Silas ? Grüsse aus Deutschland....❤

[@jshu-_-]

I understand how your relationship with your father might affect your relationship with the culture, it's valid. But at the end of the day, it's still a part of you. Knowing yourself is an important part of growing as a person so I'm glad this awakening is happening to you still.

[@SilasNacita]

I agree! That's why I'm so excited to learn

[@renpilak6048]

I’ve been following you for years and I never knew 🇵🇭 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭. Pacquiao would probably love to meet you for your athleticism!

[@SilasNacita]

2024 - Meet Pacman

[@mineprimel7167]

I knew it, hahaha. In my opinion you Look like a mixed Filipino. Proud pinay here, I always say "i am born in Germany but my roots are in the philippines." Lots of love from Germany ♥️

[@SilasNacita]

What is pinay??

[@jahleelpatterson9379]

There's masculine and feminine of "Filipino." Even though in general we are all Filipinos, we call men Filipino (Pinoy) and women Filipina (Pinay).

[@rikkidgermano9640]

Cologne Germany has a pretty decent Pinoy population (not very big but compared to others cities I have visitied, they are visible!) and most of the guys/chicks I know are like you, half-half. I don't know what it is about you but you guys have the most positive energy, even the introvert ones. Pinoys have the extra Positive gen 🤩

[@evolanomrac9531]

Filipinos can easily adapt whatever it s culture, food, language we're very diverse..

[@leodusemund4132]

Same with me, born in venezuela and i got 2 nationality venezolano and german. But if i go in venezuela am gringo, and if i go to germany asking me why am not black and why am white

[@rejoice988]

You should start a podcast!

[@InterestTrends0202]

IMPAKTA refer to a monster woman and IMPAKTO refer to a monster man,, thats tagalog word but Spanish word also

[@misamisorientaljournal]

The first time I saw you in Germany (KZbin) with Connor Sullivan, I thought you were Mexican.

[@vale22397]

I‘m half filipino and my parents gave me the name Valerie and my sister Vanessa…filipinos pronounce it Balerie and Baneesa 😂 don‘t know why our parents chose names with V hahaha

[@JohnCedrikNacita-le5zz]

That's my uncle

[@Abs00Hero]

You look like more Mexican but of course Filipino look like mexican too! hehehe

[@renpilak6048]

Oh dang! There could have been another Filipino NFL player, if not for that very stupid NCAA rule which is now allowed! But, hey you’re happier now with international experience, a beautiful wife, and now an expanded Filipino family!

[@cosmicurgency]

Ah, Filipinos. The Mexicans of Asia.

[@renpilak6048]

Or, the “Hispanics” of Asia!

[@klauskirsch4371]

Hi Silas, In 2024, what kind of race you are should no longer be an issue. Or if somebody is black or white. Who cares. But I can understand that you want ro learn more about the culture of your father's country. Hope you can visit the Philippines soon😊 Greetings to TX

[@jojoban6092]

That should be the ideal thought. But in realty, that is not true. I am born Filipino but already a US citizen for a long time, I still get discriminated here in USA. Discrimination is still very rampant.. My son who is a Filipino Black American at his young age got discriminated already.. Race or ethnicity or even just having an accent should not matter in 2024 already but it does in reality.. smh

[@Bmmhable]

The same is true in Europe of course but white Europeans like to pretend no such thing exists and call themselves enlightened. And so nothing ever changes.@@jojoban6092

[@klauskirsch4371]

Sad but true😢​@@jojoban6092

[@JD-yz4kr]

Half-white and half-Filipinos = Tisoy

[@SilasNacita]

Wait, is that what they call it?

[@jahleelpatterson9379]

It's a slang... Tisoy for half white, half Pinoy. Tisay for half white, half Pinay
