When the 16yr old boy defines prejudice it took me a while to grasp what he meant. That was a very deep thought for a 16yr old kid. "When a person loses track of the dignity of the human soul and begins to judge others not on the basis of there being as persons but on the basis of praise, creed and economic status that is prejudice." This is just very on point and I totally agree with him that prejudice is when we loses track of the dignity, integrity and worthiness of the human soul. We should respect each person regardless of their faith, physical appearance, creed and economic status.
The Filipino guy has an excellent English language. It seems that his age acts as he’s above 50 years old but he’s only 16 years old to explain and known about Prejudice happened and happening in his country. Very very intelligent boy.

Hahahahha it's very funny when he said that. I remember that there's a place similar to the role of men and women in Japan. I don't exactly remember the name of the place but in that place's case was that women are bound to find work and struggle outside. Women there play the men's role. And men at that particular place was that they'll just be in their house sitting pretty. I don't remember what's the name of that place but I can still remember the culture in that place and that place was took a documentary by a couple. I already forgot their names but I'm definitely sure that there are still other two places where they took a documentary. The second place was about people living there having no clothes at all. They don't wear anything and they also don't have any names. And the third place that these couple took a documentary was about the place where a fight happen frequently. It says that men and women are aggressive in terms of fight.
They are trying to explain about they experience and about what happened in there country. Is really inspiring and proud. Hope each country have united and have peace. God Bless..
I felt like I saw my grandfather the way Raul talked. My grandfather worked abroad in his time, he knew how to speak the language. I listened everytime Granddad spoke English, I got used to it and learned somehow. It's a full year anniversary of his death this november. It's a regret his children living abroad couldn't properly say goodbye since they couldn't fly back due to Covid breaking out that time. Elders chilling in the morning seems so nostalgic now. Not the belt.
Judith said, "there comes a point where SOMEBODY needs to decide when a country can be independent." There needs to be some kind of level of quality the country need to have to become independent. But she implied under the surface that the one who will have to decide are the countries who have colonized the other country. I just want to say, "No Judith, your country is not the one to decide how and when a country will be independent. It's the country themselves that will decide. In the first place, they were already independent before they were colonized. Hence, independence means being free from your country, instead of it generally being FREE." The Indonesian girl said," if you give us a chance" which means that the colonized people didn't give Indonesians a chance to show that they are not lazy. it's bothering me how Judith says, "You think we were taking away your..." That's not what she only thinks, that's what really happened. You really did took away their freedom ans forced them to go by your rules.
Countries conquering or occupying other countries is what makes big civilizations out of smaller civilizations and this is how education spreads throughout the history of human civilizations, in older times new ideas had to be spread across different lands somehow and if that somehow was through war and conquering or occupying then so be it that's the way it was.

Filipinos really hàte Japanese people during and at the end of the second world war, But the Japanese paid reparation after the war and according to my parents that was the time when they have more money. We cannot blame the Japanese people for the war because they were only told to do so by their leaders. Raul is very smart . He express his reasons very well and he is very considerate with the Japanese lady. The impression of most Europeans to Asians that they are lazy, this was answered by Jose Rizal in his book " The Indolence of Filipinos" and the reason for that is the weather. During cold months Europeans can work all day and never get tired because of the cold. In the tropics like the Philippines and Indonesia people wake up early and work hard in the field. Then they take a rest at noon and work again at 3 I'm clock in the afternoon.
Watching this I feel so proud to be a Filipino. At 16 his like so smart and reminds me of our late hero Dr. Jose Rizal. Confident and determined. All of them are very genius. ❤🌸
I wish we could see these kinds of international debates being aired somewhere locally be it in TV or any platform. this era youths usually ended up spending most of their time with stupid shits and tiktok cause these kinds of activities are not being promoted. lol
@@ChuunyaPH_YT ì think before pandemic there are local channel that showcase this kind of stuff along with international quiz competition and etc. The channels aren't famous perhaps that is the reason why, you know nothing about it?
After WWII in Asia, prejudice was enormously talked about but the past decades until now the term evolves as "descrimination", "racism" or "global human equality" to even a wider perspective. LOVE the intelligence and cordiality of these gorgeous debaters.
To all the Filipinos. Don't forget to remember we speak fluently in Spanish before the Americans and Japanese. Remember all the scholars and bright student from the 19th century. Rizal, Del Pilar, the Luna's and etc. 😁😁
@@junkyyard2273 that's true. Not just on our island, even in european countries 500 years ago back then.. And they are called the commoners of the Kingdom Era. There is always the high society and below of it were the commoners. Its just how the way it is 500 years ago. Commoners can rise up too into high society. Didn't Robin Longstride become a Lord? So it might be possible to be one of the high society. Probably Rizal's ancestor comes from the commoners too.
So this is Raul Contreras! I admire him so much; smart ;, good English, explained well , with conviction, truthful! Are there more Filipinos like him? At that age!!
Philippines to Japan, yeah they like Japan Japan to Philippines... errr... Japan doesn't really care that much about Philippines. They don't hate them, but they don't like them either.
They were all exchange students a program of the United Nations. They are debaters and delegates from each countries. Philippines as a colonized country were taught in english as most books are in english even up to this day. The others may be belong to international schools as well.
Not sure for the others except UK but the Filipinos back then where really good. They where also very smart not like the disappointing Filipino generation today.
@@dieabeticgamingph7729 you are right, young filipinos back then are lot smarter, dignified and gentle than today. So sad, this generation are more wild in general.
No. Not racist. We just make fun of those who are darker than us. Gaya ng mga negro, maitim, ulikba, baluga, at iba pang mga insultong salita na tinatawag natin sa mga kababayan natin na mas maitim kaysa sa atin.
Well, we are a bit racist, not because we hate them, but because we are kinda ignorant of how we should treat them. Like my grandma, when reffering to a african american fellow she met, she says "yung maitim" which means The Dark one because she doesnt know what else to call them back then. Me and my cousin hastily corrects grandma and tell her to use african american instead or colored person. She then uses it in a joke and said it in english, "I nearly started a war with the colored people", its so ironic and a bit funny, imagine my grandma fighting colored people, but then again, the ironic thing is that wars do start like that.
Japanese girl: Men control women. In theaters or buses, men sit first, if there’s no available seat, women have stand up. Filipino: Wow! I’d love to live in Japan. 😎 Even in 1956, you can already see the Filipino sense of humor. 😆
I am so amazed how the Filipino boy, Raul L. Contreras was so eloquent and truly reflects the influence of the Americans during that time. The accent, the flow, the slang. But the Filipino values in him is very, very evident. Especially how he explained the laziness of Asians and the descrimination of skin color. The Japanese Girl is so cute and very timid but truly speaks her mind. While the British is so posh in her accent. Yeah, it's true that Britain is trying to improve their colonies, unlike Spain. But Asian countries wants their independence.
coming from a British Coloney I strongly disagree their improvement was not for us it was for their people living here... we were very likely better off without them
@@Gummylongtail Yeah, true it was really for their kingdom but you cannot deny the improvements you are imitating and still preserving that is evident from your country. It is a part of the heritage that we cannot erase and deny. Though we hated them, they have some teachings and infrastructures that we still used upto now. It is a part of Tourism that we earned from it.
We are lucky to see our elders at this young age debating politely, I know most of them already died but watching this video circulating to this date is so rich, I know their family are so proud of them ❤
Guys there’s no such thing as an accent there for Filipinos. During that time students were taught by people who spoke fluently in Spanish and had to learn English due to USA. My grandmother still speaks like that and her mother is spanish so it’s natural.
There is always accents when speaking languages, he had the Filipino accent in his english, he was trying to speak with an American accent but the Filipino accent is still present.
We shouldn't say we forgot, for that would disrespect our ancestors and be ignorant, but say we acknowledge and forgive them of their ancestor's actions.
They did not forgotten. I have a twitter account and all a see is filipinos bullying Japanese people,lol. From Joji,to Rina Sawayama to Japanese Kpop idols...
Raul attended in one of the best school in the Philippines that only speaks English inside the school compound. This school where most famous lawyers in the Philippines got their degrees. I'm not surprised why Raul was so smart. His school only takes students that are best of the best. Most people that graduated in that school are lawyers, Presidents of the Philippines, top journalists & etc.
Thats funny this video was on my watchlist too. Its very interesting what happened in the past. I love learning history and different peoples perspectives in the past so we learn from it. Alot of those issues still happen today. Like me biracial still deal with that today and it doesn't matter where you are. If you're different people judge you. Me personally I like people who are very different from thr norm. I like learning from others because everyone has good value on this earth. Nice video and thanks for giving your opinion on this. ☺️
People back then are smart ,now some people before watching this probably didn't even know what prejudice means just until now and I'm one of those now I feel stupid
@@BoxingNationPH Ofcourse, they lived during the american era and got the same type of schooling, that is, american standard. The present filipino english accent was none existent back then.
They are all brillant and talented even the japanese girl they speak fuent in english and also mr.raul Contreras we have to honnor all the delegates in that time the family of each one of them are so very proud of them Godbless you maam and sir.
Japan, Philippines and Indonesia are all archipelagos outside the mainland Asia. UK is an island separated from the mainland of Europe. As long as there are people who consider themselves as superior race there will always be prejudice between groups of people. Programs like this creates open communication between people and may find solutions on how to lessen the bad effects of prejudice. This is an interesting group.
I like this kind of content i hope you can make more videos content just like this in the future, you help those young people to REMEMBER to have a knowledge about certain things like prejudice😊
I saw a reaction vlog for the same video and i undrrstand why the filipino mentioned climate out of all reasons andbasing on the vlogger's explanation, climate is an important factor because could actually be the reason how different cultures value time differently. Those in the part where it is colder and has fewer day time hours, they would rush to do things they had to finish within short movable time frame of the day, while those in the warmer areas, they have all the entire day for work. Also, the cold west would never understand working under the hot sun
They were all exchange students so their high schools must trained and educated them esp the English language. Not to mention, they were all brilliant students ❤️❤️❤️.
I really loved this video c: and it was awesome to see you react to this Ryu 😊 hope you've been doing well sense last time we talked as well, have an amazing day and take care.
I wished to go back then, I would want to make friends with him. He was like my friends here. He was clever and intelligent to avoid saying the word, "negro" to avoid being offensive.
I too am amaze how people then are so articulate. Maybe they are just as good as they are chose to represent their countries for this particular program.
Raul Contreras a very very bright boy could have been offered a scholarship to Harvard, Yale or Princeton after that debate. The Philippines had lost a very, very rare and precious gem. He was a very exceptional boy - A GENIUS. I am so disappointed that our country or even the United States failed to see the greatness of Raul's mind.
Our house in the Philippines is on the side of the road ,and every morning at 3 o’clock the road becomes alive with the sound of cars,trucks and peoples heading to their works in the market or to their jobs in the far vicinity of the province,my Japanese wife wonders why Filipinos wakes up so early ,the answer is to avoid the scorching heat of the day．As a Filipino in Japan I wake up ahead of my alarm clock every morning making sure that I sweep the surrounding of the house ,then head for work .I am 62 years old.

Japan girl: men have to sits first and when theirs no seats available women have to stand up.
Filipino boy: oh wow! i luv to live in Japan🤣🤣🤣
Hehehe🤣😂🤣so lovely
YES YES YES YES YES!
Hahahahha it's very funny when he said that. I remember that there's a place similar to the role of men and women in Japan. I don't exactly remember the name of the place but in that place's case was that women are bound to find work and struggle outside. Women there play the men's role. And men at that particular place was that they'll just be in their house sitting pretty. I don't remember what's the name of that place but I can still remember the culture in that place and that place was took a documentary by a couple. I already forgot their names but I'm definitely sure that there are still other two places where they took a documentary. The second place was about people living there having no clothes at all. They don't wear anything and they also don't have any names. And the third place that these couple took a documentary was about the place where a fight happen frequently. It says that men and women are aggressive in terms of fight.
😂😂😂
Raul sense of humor.
Every that Raul's voice is always shocked to me-
And I always been thought his voice is cute ;-;
They are trying to explain about they experience and about what happened in there country. Is really inspiring and proud. Hope each country have united and have peace. God Bless..
"I think you just envy us colored people" ,the way he said that in a sarcastic way is hilarious.
omg what’s the time stamp

I think it's not sarcastic from people of color.
I love how the japanese girl talks about korea, my country.
It’s a really sensitive subject, so I’m impressed she actually mentioned it!
I felt like I saw my grandfather the way Raul talked.
My grandfather worked abroad in his time, he knew how to speak the language. I listened everytime Granddad spoke English, I got used to it and learned somehow.
It's a full year anniversary of his death this november. It's a regret his children living abroad couldn't properly say goodbye since they couldn't fly back due to Covid breaking out that time.
Elders chilling in the morning seems so nostalgic now.
Not the belt.
Judith said, "there comes a point where SOMEBODY needs to decide when a country can be independent."
There needs to be some kind of level of quality the country need to have to become independent. But she implied under the surface that the one who will have to decide are the countries who have colonized the other country. I just want to say, "No Judith, your country is not the one to decide how and when a country will be independent. It's the country themselves that will decide. In the first place, they were already independent before they were colonized. Hence, independence means being free from your country, instead of it generally being FREE."
The Indonesian girl said," if you give us a chance" which means that the colonized people didn't give Indonesians a chance to show that they are not lazy.
it's bothering me how Judith says, "You think we were taking away your..." That's not what she only thinks, that's what really happened. You really did took away their freedom ans forced them to go by your rules.
I've read that the Indonesian girl, Ratnati, is a daughter of a national hero
Countries conquering or occupying other countries is what makes big civilizations out of smaller civilizations and this is how education spreads throughout the history of human civilizations, in older times new ideas had to be spread across different lands somehow and if that somehow was through war and conquering or occupying then so be it that's the way it was.
indeed but it’s still a problem all over the world, especially from humans to nonhuman fellow animals and whites/people in general to nonwhites!
@@Matt-oj5duit’s not civilisations because that’s not being civilised. And really with the “if we need to genocide, massacre, rape, rob, imprison, enslave, destroy, end others to spread our “new ideas”, then so be it.”…
@@Matt-oj5duby “new ideas” you mean diseases, self-imposed white superiority due to being hurt, frightened, brainwashed, insecure, and that if you’re not a white man, you’re an object to use and dispose of…!

Filipinos really hàte Japanese people during and at the end of the second world war, But the Japanese paid reparation after the war and according to my parents that was the time when they have more money. We cannot blame the Japanese people for the war because they were only told to do so by their leaders. Raul is very smart . He express his reasons very well and he is very considerate with the Japanese lady. The impression of most Europeans to Asians that they are lazy, this was answered by Jose Rizal in his book " The Indolence of Filipinos" and the reason for that is the weather. During cold months Europeans can work all day and never get tired because of the cold. In the tropics like the Philippines and Indonesia people wake up early and work hard in the field. Then they take a rest at noon and work again at 3 I'm clock in the afternoon.
Filipinos still hate the Japanese. I've seen tons of filipinos people have prejudice against Japanese people on twitter.
Watching this I feel so proud to be a Filipino.
At 16 his like so smart and reminds me of our late hero Dr. Jose Rizal.
Confident and determined.
All of them are very genius. ❤🌸
I wish we could see these kinds of international debates being aired somewhere locally be it in TV or any platform. this era youths usually ended up spending most of their time with stupid shits and tiktok cause these kinds of activities are not being promoted. lol
You can just literally search it here in youtube.. there is a lot like this
@@zb2433 what I'm talking about is in local television. Way back then stuff like this are being televised locally for everyone to see.
@@ChuunyaPH_YT ì think before pandemic there are local channel that showcase this kind of stuff along with international quiz competition and etc. The channels aren't famous perhaps that is the reason why, you know nothing about it?
New generations are zombies.having body with no brain.sad to say.they can't even think critically.they are fond of watching teleserye,tiktok
Agree.
Shocked! Representative from Philippines was not the usual concept of a common teenager. He was so smart and way matured for that age. 🇵🇭
damn.... the Filipino boy is speaking English fluently than mine , mine had and Filipino accent :)
Be proud with filipino accent rather than western people, we can easily understand rather than them!
My prejudice to my siblings is that we eating together but ended up leaving me wash the dishes..
Hahahhaa
I feel you, bro.
Lmao🤣
Lol 😂
Made my dayy!!
After WWII in Asia, prejudice was enormously talked about but the past decades until now the term evolves as "descrimination", "racism" or "global human equality" to even a wider perspective.
LOVE the intelligence and cordiality of these gorgeous debaters.

OMG! You mean Yoriko and Raul are your Grandparents? Coz i was like shipping them.
Same!

To all the Filipinos. Don't forget to remember we speak fluently in Spanish before the Americans and Japanese.
Remember all the scholars and bright student from the 19th century. Rizal, Del Pilar, the Luna's and etc. 😁😁
Yes. The official language was Spanish before the coming of the Americans.
Yes, there's a Spanish language at school before but they decided to remove it.
I will try to learn Spanish I think it will be easy because I'm a Filipino
Do not forget that Spanish didn't educate all of the Filipinos with Spanish. They only accepted high societies to learn languages.
@@junkyyard2273 that's true. Not just on our island, even in european countries 500 years ago back then.. And they are called the commoners of the Kingdom Era.
There is always the high society and below of it were the commoners. Its just how the way it is 500 years ago. Commoners can rise up too into high society.
Didn't Robin Longstride become a Lord? So it might be possible to be one of the high society.
Probably Rizal's ancestor comes from the commoners too.
All these young people are all commendable, they are all smart and humble.
So this is Raul Contreras! I admire him so much; smart ;, good English, explained well , with conviction, truthful! Are there more Filipinos like him? At that age!!
Like him NOPE 🤐 better than him? I’m not sure if I can find one on Tiktok 😅
Japan and Philippines are very close seated i think they like each other
Hinata and Naruto vibes
Philippines to Japan, yeah they like Japan
Japan to Philippines... errr... Japan doesn't really care that much about Philippines. They don't hate them, but they don't like them either.
They're just friends,chill.
i think the japanese girl falling in love to the philippines boy the way he stare at him
Lol i thought so too.. and fil guy is reactive to her too. Could be puppy love? Theyre cute

Trivia: kid from Japan is a boy🙃
@@richardperez7867 Fun Fact? Or Fun Opinion?
They were all exchange students a program of the United Nations. They are debaters and delegates from each countries. Philippines as a colonized country were taught in english as most books are in english even up
to this day. The others may be belong to international schools as well.
I'm very proud of him and may he rest in peace.

Not sure for the others except UK but the Filipinos back then where really good. They where also very smart not like the disappointing Filipino generation today.

you see the philippines delegates he never say the N word he only said colored skin it only shows we are not really a racist.
No. Not racist. We just make fun of those who are darker than us. Gaya ng mga negro, maitim, ulikba, baluga, at iba pang mga insultong salita na tinatawag natin sa mga kababayan natin na mas maitim kaysa sa atin.
Well, we are a bit racist, not because we hate them, but because we are kinda ignorant of how we should treat them. Like my grandma, when reffering to a african american fellow she met, she says "yung maitim" which means The Dark one because she doesnt know what else to call them back then. Me and my cousin hastily corrects grandma and tell her to use african american instead or colored person. She then uses it in a joke and said it in english, "I nearly started a war with the colored people", its so ironic and a bit funny, imagine my grandma fighting colored people, but then again, the ironic thing is that wars do start like that.
Japanese girl: Men control women. In theaters or buses, men sit first, if there’s no available seat, women have stand up.
Filipino: Wow! I’d love to live in Japan. 😎
Even in 1956, you can already see the Filipino sense of humor. 😆
Totally 💯👌🏼
Not only this boy so smart but he looks so cute in his amercana(his outfit)
I am so amazed how the Filipino boy, Raul L. Contreras was so eloquent and truly reflects the influence of the Americans during that time. The accent, the flow, the slang. But the Filipino values in him is very, very evident. Especially how he explained the laziness of Asians and the descrimination of skin color. The Japanese Girl is so cute and very timid but truly speaks her mind. While the British is so posh in her accent. Yeah, it's true that Britain is trying to improve their colonies, unlike Spain. But Asian countries wants their independence.
coming from a British Coloney I strongly disagree their improvement was not for us it was for their people living here... we were very likely better off without them
@@Gummylongtail Yeah, true it was really for their kingdom but you cannot deny the improvements you are imitating and still preserving that is evident from your country. It is a part of the heritage that we cannot erase and deny. Though we hated them, they have some teachings and infrastructures that we still used upto now. It is a part of Tourism that we earned from it.
We are lucky to see our elders at this young age debating politely, I know most of them already died but watching this video circulating to this date is so rich, I know their family are so proud of them ❤
Guys there’s no such thing as an accent there for Filipinos. During that time students were taught by people who spoke fluently in Spanish and had to learn English due to USA. My grandmother still speaks like that and her mother is spanish so it’s natural.
There is always accents when speaking languages, he had the Filipino accent in his english, he was trying to speak with an American accent but the Filipino accent is still present.
and it’s changed since those days anyway, due to the environment and influences…
Filipinoes have already forgotten the japanese war...and filipinoes love japanese peole... there is no hate anymore. Honestly i love japanese culture.
We shouldn't say we forgot, for that would disrespect our ancestors and be ignorant, but say we acknowledge and forgive them of their ancestor's actions.
I think we can say that it’s all in the past and we all learned from it.
They did not forgotten. I have a twitter account and all a see is filipinos bullying Japanese people,lol. From Joji,to Rina Sawayama to Japanese Kpop idols...
Raul attended in one of the best school in the Philippines that only speaks English inside the school compound. This school where most famous lawyers in the Philippines got their degrees. I'm not surprised why Raul was so smart. His school only takes students that are best of the best. Most people that graduated in that school are lawyers, Presidents of the Philippines, top journalists & etc.
Thats funny this video was on my watchlist too. Its very interesting what happened in the past. I love learning history and different peoples perspectives in the past so we learn from it. Alot of those issues still happen today. Like me biracial still deal with that today and it doesn't matter where you are. If you're different people judge you. Me personally I like people who are very different from thr norm. I like learning from others because everyone has good value on this earth. Nice video and thanks for giving your opinion on this. ☺️
People back then are smart ,now some people before watching this probably didn't even know what prejudice means just until now and I'm one of those now I feel stupid
😅
Soo noone gonna explain what prejudice means?
The Filipino boy has a powerful voice and the words he used were deep in meaning.
1956 children participate in Debate
2021 busy for tiktok world,😁✌
😂😂🤣
Hahaha 2021 kids Filipinos are Tiktok genious.. Amazing 🤣🤣
Thank you very much for sharing this video.
I enjoyed watching the video.
The Filipino boy 16... brilliant
and his voice is very captivating.
That Filipino boy speak better than the Philippine Government
he slap the government
He has similarities to President Ferdinand Marcos
@@BoxingNationPH
Ofcourse, they lived during the american era and got the same type of schooling, that is, american standard. The present filipino english accent was none existent back then.
Agree 👌🏼💯
They are all brillant and talented even the japanese girl they speak fuent in english and also mr.raul Contreras we have to honnor all the delegates in that time the family of each one of them are so very proud of them Godbless you maam and sir.
I wish the philippine government thinks like Mr. Raul. Salute to this filipino man.
Japan, Philippines and Indonesia are all archipelagos outside the mainland Asia. UK is an island separated from the mainland of Europe. As long as there are people who consider themselves as superior race there will always be prejudice between groups of people. Programs like this creates open communication between people and may find solutions on how to lessen the bad effects of prejudice. This is an interesting group.
Please try to watch the other one debate with Edward Dennis from The Philippines too, and try not to cry with his story about war the 2nd too.
This was a very impressive and intellectual program, hoping to be back soon, thank you.
Sir Raul Contreras is such an intelligent teenager, such a great model to the youth.
The Japanese girl is very cute , smart and soft spoken.
This is the reason my Philippines love Japanese .its because they respect ,us they don't threat us like garbage but a family .thank u Japanese
I like this kind of content i hope you can make more videos content just like this in the future, you help those young people to REMEMBER to have a knowledge about certain things like prejudice😊
I saw a reaction vlog for the same video and i undrrstand why the filipino mentioned climate out of all reasons andbasing on the vlogger's explanation, climate is an important factor because could actually be the reason how different cultures value time differently. Those in the part where it is colder and has fewer day time hours, they would rush to do things they had to finish within short movable time frame of the day, while those in the warmer areas, they have all the entire day for work. Also, the cold west would never understand working under the hot sun
I love the way the Filipino ❤kid expresses his point of view..on point , articulate and very detailed..
This is awesome, they're all intelligent, but I liked Raul how to speak and debate, awesome review.
I’m addicted to this kind of videos.
They were all exchange students so their high schools must trained and educated them esp the English language. Not to mention, they were all brilliant students ❤️❤️❤️.
The Japanese girl is so cute. 😍
I really loved this video c: and it was awesome to see you react to this Ryu 😊 hope you've been doing well sense last time we talked as well, have an amazing day and take care.
I wished to go back then, I would want to make friends with him. He was like my friends here.
He was clever and intelligent to avoid saying the word, "negro" to avoid being offensive.
Ah yes the Filipino: so smart, well spoken, has a wordly opinion - yet so Self-Destructive.
I too am amaze how people then are so articulate. Maybe they are just as good as they are chose to represent their countries for this particular program.
Raul Contreras a very very bright boy could have been offered a scholarship to Harvard, Yale or Princeton after that debate. The Philippines had lost a very, very rare and precious gem. He was a very exceptional boy - A GENIUS. I am so disappointed that our country or even the United States failed to see the greatness of Raul's mind.
Our house in the Philippines is on the side of the road ,and every morning at 3 o’clock the road becomes alive with the sound of cars,trucks and peoples heading to their works in the market or to their jobs in the far vicinity of the province,my Japanese wife wonders why Filipinos wakes up so early ,the answer is to avoid the scorching heat of the day．As a Filipino in Japan I wake up ahead of my alarm clock every morning making sure that I sweep the surrounding of the house ,then head for work .I am 62 years old.
in Philippines we have prejudice between tagalog and bisaya . Thats why we Bisayan people want a Federal Government Philippines
This is what I've been waiting for you to react
Me too..
This was the quality of philippines education before :(
Great content and young Filipino boy reminds me of the great President Marcos intelligent and his good speeches
He’s officially part of the Guiness Book of World Record as Ferdinand Marcos: Greatest Robbery of a Government 💀
If Raul Contreras have a movie I diffinitely watch it...... Japanese is Shy but not overly serious.
Raul Contreras, I think we r relatives,Jk 😄
Many countries had the stereotype that hard working peoples in certain countries were lazy, It was a way of one feeling superior to another.
