About KIRBY:
Kirby Pábalan-Táyag Aráullo is a Filipino American historian, content creator, and renowned culture bearer based in California. He is also the author of the groundbreaking book “Black Lives & Brown Freedom: Untold Histories of War, Solidarity, & Genocide,” and the Co-Founder and former Director of Operations for the Bulosan Center for Filipino Studies at the University of California, Davis.
Kirby is a direct descendant of the last indigenous Paramount Kings of Luzon (of both Lakandúlâ of Tondo and Rája Matandá of Maynílâ), of the anti-colonial revolutionary Katipuneros, and of World War II Guerilyeras who fought for the liberation of the islands we now call the Philippines.
Born in Angeles City, Philippines, Kirby spent his childhood amidst the rebuilding of his homeland in the aftermath of Mt. Pinatubo’s cataclysmic eruption. His childhood beneath the shadows of the city’s red-light district, slum neighborhoods, and Clark Air Base (a former U.S. military installation) sparked his lifelong passion in advocating for the rights and the well-being of marginalized and disenfranchised communities. As a direct descendant of revolutionaries, politicos, and activists, Kirby’s upbringing was molded by productively engaging and navigating the realms of advocacy, traditional politics, and grassroots activism.
With a keen interest in varying fields (such as history, public affairs, and filmmaking) and a strong commitment to serving the community, Kirby studied at some of the world’s most prestigious institutions, such as Harvard University, the University of California, Davis, and the Université catholique de Louvain (one of Europe’s oldest universities). He has been teaching Filipino people’s history through writing in indigenous Philippine scripts (Kulitan & Baybayin) for over a decade.
Today, Kirby is well-known for his educationally engaging RUclips channel where you can find videos about history, culture, and everything in between! He is also currently working on his next big book “Luzones & the New World: Forgotten Histories from Southeast Asia to the Americas” along with an easy-to-read book and zine series known as “Know Our Roots,” and an educational coloring book series called “Color Our Roots.”
Kirby is an educator who is well-rooted in his culture and passionate about his colorful heritage (Kapampángan, Tagálog, Indigenous Áytá, Pangasinan, and Spanish-Basque-Portuguese-Irish Mestizo); he strives to decolonize Philippine history and democratize Ethnic Studies through knowledge and creativity. Kirby is a Dátû and Lakan by blood but an Artist-Scholar-Activist at heart.

Kirby Armadillo those your book mention that the Philippinos were Negritos. What about the Aetas, and the Moros, and what about The Black Nazarene.
Sorry for the typo: Mr. Araullo.
These phones, if you don't pay attention to them will change your text. I spelled your name correctly, but the damn phone translated it to Armadillo.
WE (Indigenous Peoples of African Descent) BEEN SAYING THIS FOR YEARS, YET WE ARE LABELED “AFRICENTRIC” AND “SUBSAHARAN” ‘SLAVE’. 🤦🏿♂️ WE BEEN SAID THE NEGRITOS ARE INDIGENOUS AND THEIR LINEAGE TRACES BACK TO THE AFRO ASIATIC
Stop it just stop it, the ORIGINAL human beings are the so called "black" people, everybody else is just mutations of us.
I often ask my Pinoy friends and family, "Who told you that your skin is too dark and your nose too big?"
My PH girlfriend told me her family told her to stop playing outside because she gets a lot darker than the rest of her family. Too bad because she has beautiful brown skin.
If folks are on the beach getting tanned why don't you see you already have what they obviously want??? Appreciate your Melanin, it connects you to the Sun Maker Jesus Himself. Don't you all know Jesus was with His Father before becoming a babe in the Blessed Among women Womb? The WORD became a Divine Man All things were made by Him. Love Your skin Be thankful for it. The servant of Elijah lost his skin color because he was disobedient.So did Miriam but her color came back.🎉 The world 🌎 started with Melanin.
As a filipino man, I wish my fellow filipinos would learn from the black people as well, that there's nothing to be ashamed of our physical features as a filipino. I think our brown skin, flat noses, and curly hairs, typical of the malay race should be embraced and celebrated and I think it is very unique and beautiful.
As a Black American who grew up in public schools, of course we were never taught the history of the colonization of Philippines. The stories of the indoctrination schools remind me perfectly of the “Indian” boarding schools that were used to sever indigenous people of from families and culture. Liberation for all oppressed peoples! We must continue to be United and support each other in solidarity!
ADOS (African American) history runs deep! shout to our Fillipino friends!!!!! Mr. Carter G Woodson was a G!!!!!!!! when he was young he used to read to Black coal miners who couldnt read. He used to read them the new papers and other things
Stop the gullible nonsense. We have no friends
Ey, Kirby! Is it true that King Leopold wanted to buy the Philippines from Spain but was denied? Saw that in a vid about interesting facts about our country.
If it’s true, the Philippines got lucky with that one. Escaped from the hands of the butcher of Congo.
Its true
Hi Kirby, my great grandfather was a a Thomasite, who was on his way to priesthood but fell in love with my filipino great grandma in Pangasinan. I would like to think he didn't carry the western narrative since he married her and stayed in our country for the rest of his life. Who knows what his thoughts were. Wish he kept a journal because I would have loved to read it. I'm researching about my ancestors, that's why. Thank you again for really spending the time to do what you do, sharing your knowledge with us. I will check out your book.
Thank you so much for sharing! And yes, not all of them were necessarily bad. A lot married Filipinos too!
@@KirbyAraullo Would you or anyone else out there know where the descendants of the Thomasites who married Filipinos are now? Would love to reach out to them. Thank you.
How about tracing your American side of your roots through DNA. Have you come across the American videos here on RUclips of those celebrities who traced their ancestry through DNA?
But Thomasites were teachers, not seminarians.
@@eatsmylifeYT Can be both.
I saw Aetas ,who are the aboriginal inhabitants of the Philippines.They looked like Blacks from the African continent during my time in the Marines. But I must compliment you,Kirby, for showing this hidden feature.I will pass this on.
ii was taught Jungle Survival by an AETA (nigrito) in '75.
The Marines contracted them to teach troops.
@@Hannoshobazz_NeolmechI was also in the Marines when I saw the Aetas during my training in the Philippines.
@@josephjoyce7982
If u left anything valuable on a clothes line after dark, it would disappear (they are stealthy hunters).
We just decided to go to town and buy stuff in small sizes and leave it outside the barracks at night for them.
They were VERY nice people.
Semper Phi (ii study Latin)
@@Hannoshobazz_Neolmechminor correction but it's Fi short for Fidelis not Phi which is a Greek letter. Not a Marine but a former seminarian 😊
@@miguelladinodevera614
Thank you. ii stand corrected.
ii will faithfully no longer abbreviate this, so as to avoid such misunderstandings.
'Semper Fidelis' in full, it shall always be [from me] from now on.
Are you aware that that phrase is phonetically Phoenixian, and now written in Latin script.
Wow! As an African-American I recently received my AncestryDNA results. I was surprised to see I have 1% Northern Philippine DNA from my father’s side. Some of my cousins have it as well. Thanks for this history lesson.
Aetas??
Do you have Spanish or Portuguese ancestry? From what I know, the Iberian Peninsula has more African ancestry than the other parts of Europe. My guess is if you do, then your Spanish or Portuguese ancestor came to the Philippines during the Spanish colonization and probably had kids with a native/local. That's probably why. But it's just my theory, I could be wrong. It could be a margin error. You could take a look at your dna matches on Ancestry and kind of see the distant relatives :) . I say during the Spanish colonization, because of the 1%. If it was more, usually it would be a more recent ancestor.
As a Black American this title is such a reach.. Black American history and heritage month does not have any roots in the Philippines..
Are you from Louisiana or California?
@@traveline52 Ohhh yes the Filipinos who jumped ship from the Manila Galleon Trade.
It's sad that more Blacks frequent the Philippines 🇵🇭 then almost anywhere on earth including other Asian countries. Most say it's because it's where they are most embraced. Even me and my Black friends are going vs france ect.
Just curious why you say it's sad...?
@@ayejay8862 Because everyone i talked to that travels say the Philippines 🇵🇭 is where they experience the least Discrimination and felt the most embraced. That sentiment has traveled throughout the Black community. Out of every other place on the globe including Africa. It's sad because you would think Africa is where Blacks in thy diaspora would feel most embraced but there is a self hatred issue in alot of those African countries where whites are more embraced then actual Black diasporans. This also means places like South Korea ect who have no (Blacks allowed ) businesses can stand to do better.
My buddy from New York also is Black and got his passport recently. For the first time he is traveling out of the states and its not to Africa (where Black originate or homeland) but the Philippines.
He said on his job African immigrants treat him horrible as a Black American but Filipinos are kind and respectful to him so they offered to show him around when he visits.
@@Cng215 Ok I hear you. I guess because your original post did not mention Africa, but other parts of Asia and France, so I was confused. I get your point now, however, in terms of not going to Africa. I'm African-American and I've been to Asia for studies and parts of Europe for work. I finally went to Ghana in 2018 on my own (not studies or work). I also think more black people should visit Africa. At the same time, I think it's not just a black phenomenon. Many Asian-Americans and Asians from other countries often choose to go to Europe or the US over their motherlands and other Asian countries. It is kind of sad that we get programmed into believing more highly of the west than the homes of our ancestors.
@@Cng215 Not true, Africans embrace American blacks. Africa has 54 different countries. Please do not take a hand full of ignorant people on a job and mis-characterize all of African people.
@@ayejay8862 I've never looked at it that way but what you said is so true. At thy end of the day I think you're right when you say many are programmed. I mean not many commercials showing beautiful Africa vaca
I really enjoy your video, as Mexican Filipino I can totally relate to the struggle .
I love the Miseducation of the Negro. It's fascinating that the Philippines was important to Woodson decoding the intention and strategies of US imperialism.
Thank you so much for your kind comment and support! The Miseducation of the Negro is indeed a significant work that sheds light on the hidden roots of our society's problems today.It's always amazing to learn more about the unexpected connections in history, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to share this knowledge with my viewers.
This tactic was done in the Indian Schools and in the HBCUs
@@KirbyAraullo
Why did you fraudulently state that Black History Month had it's roots in The Philippines❓
Worth checking Corporal DAVID FAGEN, African American soldier who was in the Philippines in the early occupation of the Philippines by the US.
Excellent!!! Carter G Woodson would be proud of you.
wow awesome video, i have a minor in African American history and this is new. thanks
I was wondering if you could cover the history of the indigenous people who were sent to Missouri to act in the human zoo. Thank you for all you do! NorCal strong!!
That one is pathetic.
As a Filipino-American, I can say that I know very little about my roots with any knowledge gained being from hours scouring google.
Did not know, thank you. The footprint of European culture, amazing how they truly believe they are superior. All ancient cultures have been tampered with.
Thank you from a Black African American female baby boomer from the Southern USA. I knew somethings but now l know more.
All will be revealed before the end times. Just saying.Thank you🙏
Girl, this isn’t true! 😂😂😂
Trolls are real😱
Black History Month has nothing to do with the Philippines Barbara.
Supremacy or Stupidity trolling, which😱
@@barbarascott9174 what does trolling mean?
God be with you at all times...
LOVE THIS!!! just subscribed. Continue the great work!
It was hard watching this video without getting angry...
Those political cartoons alone was enraging.
Thank you kirby.filipino people need to watch this
This is definitely not being taught in school! Thank you for shedding light on our peoples solidarity ❤🖤🤎
As an African American, this is important history for us to know about. Salamat po my friend. I have been following you for a few years and your knowledge is amazing. Just ordered your book po.
Salamat din 🙏🏽
As a Black American this is such a reach.. Black American history and heritage month does not have any roots in the Philippines..
Black Americans were not called African American during no time in black America history.
I’m not sure Ach.
You ain’t black. If so, you’re not invested in us.
In light of Mindanaoan secessionist rhetoric flaring up, how about you do a video on Sultan Kudarat?
Yes also American Colonial Policies that promoted the immigration of Christian Settlers in Mindanao and the dispossession of Moro and Manobo lands.
Time to learn again.
Thank you, Kirby
Another GREAT video, Kirby! I love the way you narrated the intersectionality of this particular video to current events happening in Gaza. I’ll definitely order your new book. Congratulations btw!🎉
Nice video sir Kirby! Kailangan marami pa sa ating mga kababayan ang mapanood ito nang sila'y maliwanagan sa tunay nating kasaysayan.
I was taught that Black History In the Phillipines started with indigenous people like the ATEA people. still and all Great video....⬆⬆⬆
Great job Kirby...I look forward to reading your book!
Thanks for sharing this! I found you during Covid and have learned so much from you sir!
Look up the San Malo or St.Malo Maroons and Insurrection in Louisiana to learn more about Filipino and Black American interwined history.
Nah, The great freedom fighter Jean Saint Malo and the other Black-LaLwizyànan freedom fighters of French-Spanish colonial Louisiana has absolutely nothing to do with no Filipino people. The Filipino flee'ers just named their Filipino settlement after the great Black-LaLwizyànan revolutionary Jean Saint Malo of Louisiana that's all.⚜️❤🖤💛🔱
High Kirby! I became a subscriber as I began watching this interesting and informative video. I enjoyed your presentation; and look forward to learning more from your future videos. All the best! Salámat! 🙏🙏🙏❤💐
As A Afro-Native Of The USA this segment of history was taught beautifully within this video. I appreciate your efforts & the time you put in your research. I must say I learned a lot. I immediately had to subscribe. To learn more of our unchained connections to all people of this world
Also during the American/Philippine war black American soldiers joined Phillipinos to help fight against the American army
Ppl don't talk about that....
This was one of the best knowledgeable videos coming out of the Philippines In reference to the Philippine History that needs to be Instilled back Into the brains of the Filipino People because colonialism is wiping the history from the minds to this very second. My Hat Is Of To You Sir Your Very Young And Very Knowledgeable Keep Up The Good Work. God Speed.
Thank you very much!!!!! Mabuhi
Thanks!
❤❤❤❤❤
I love History!
Im retired military Black American. I live here 5 years now. Thank you kuya!❤
Crazy. Thanks for sharing this.
Thank you for this video. Subscribed.
Thank you for this video😊
This was very informative
I’m quite impressed
My daughter did the DNA with Ancestry and we have Philippines in our DNA...This is so educational thank you...
This video is an eye-opener! Kudos to Yang Amat Mulia Pengiran Datu Kirby for shedding light on the unexpected roots of Black History Month in the Philippines. The exploration of intertwined struggles for freedom is truly captivating. The inspiring tales of unity and resistance connect us in ways we never imagined. I hope you get more subscribers for more uplifting history's untold tales. Amazing work, your highness!
Terima kasih!
Kirby.Filipino your video invites us all to see that lessons from history empowered us all!
Education illuminates truths which you beautifully assembled in this video!
Let’s each do our part to transform our own minds so that we embrace the gifts and amazing contributions of EACH divine nation.
The nation of Humanity must see ALL its parts as ONE BODY for us to progress to the next level of excellence.
Here you are a great example of which we all can adopt. Lead with truth, humility and compassion.
Your positive energy is magnetic! Well done.
I think history is definitely what binds us all together. I truly believe certain countries in the Indian ocean have a much deeper connection with the African continent. Fiji, Papa new Guinea, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Guinea, New Caledonia all those who are native born with indigenous tides to the land all share the same phenotype and hair texture with Africans in the diaspora but they say we are not related but I definitely question that. The Aetas in the Philippines believed to be the descendants of the first Filipinos who arrived in the Philippines also share the same hair textures and phenotypes with people in the African diaspora. It's the only other place in the world where these people who are said to not have a connection to Africa but look closely related to people on the African continent. Which is something I definitely question.
And the struggle still continues; knowledge is the key to break down the walls of suppression Great History lesson goes to show how common we all are. Salamat Po Ingat Po!!
salamat sa kini nga mga grasya kanunay 🙏
Awesome video 😊
SUPER JOB Kirby!
Thank you!
Bravo sir 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Did I miss your video about the darker indigenous Filipinos and they became light like u?
👀
Very interesting… I had no idea of any of this! 😮
THANKS for this!!!! Great history lesson--and really appreciate the decolonized perspective!!!!!
Fascinating story. Solidarity gets ish done!
Utmost Respect and Love Bruh💯🫡
Great Video I've learned something.
Thank you for watching and for your kind words! I'm happy to hear that you learned something from the video.
Appreciate you 🤜🏾
I really thank you for showing us the commonality of marginalized people. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. And I am very glad that African Americans were inspired to make a difference in our community and other communities by seeing the injustices that plagued colonized populations.
Our histories are something to be proud of. Our ancestors should be celebrated and cultures revered. I will be listening to more & want to learn more about the Filipino people.
This entire video is a lie. Use your common sense.
@@Cyndi72 Thank you for your comment. What exactly is the lie?
No, no, no. Please don't believe this.
@@dotposey7598 again...where is the lie? Please explain to me what is so errorneous. Or are you just an avatar.
@@djuanathediva2008 ? Avatar? Absolutely not. 😂 Anyway, don't believe that Carter G. Woodson got his major inspiration for BHM from a little time he spent in the Philippines. If you look around, there has been this weird thing that is remixing our history. If everyone was so with us during the time of enslavement and Jim Crow and struggle, then why did it go on for so long. I just don't want black folks to fall for this kind of stuff. It's remixing our history and it lessons our impact in America, which is a great one.
Wow!!! I love learning something new!!! I especially love learning new Black History!!! And even better is to learn about the connections we share no matter where on the globe we are. Thank you!!!
Stop believing anything you hear. There is NO CONNECTION.
This was beautiful & informative 😊❤ty
It’s not true.
David Fagen or David Fagin (1875-?) was an African-American soldier who defected during the Philippine-American War. He acquired the rank of captain in the Philippine Revolutionary Army. Tampa, Florida, U.S.
He has done a video about him before.
Yeah I just found the channel last night. Seen at the end but f video by I had already posted it. I use to tell Filipino’s our culture was some what alike.
@@VillageSuperstar Yeah. Filipino families who have been here before the 70’s seem to get the link. Unfortunately like many new immigrants to the U.S. many have been told a lot of negative things about us so more recent arrivals seem to come with biases against black Americans.
Fortunately my gf’s family is very welcoming despite first arriving in the late 70’s.
@@majorlazor5058 Yeah I understand, I lived in Philippines for a few years and also hold guru in Arnis martial arts.
@@VillageSuperstar that’s fantastic. Did you ever fight with Escrima sticks?
I would love to check out your book and I'm glad that you actually are shining. Light on this were unfortunately many people even amongst A p I community won't acknowledge this
TELL THEM MASTER KIRBY! EMBRACE OUR AFRICANITY!
I thank you for sharing this example of solidarity. Even though we live in a time of much division, it is media like this that must be presented in order to dismantle the system of division. This is why I proudly stand for Stop Asian Hate and Black Lives Matter (the movement) .
Thank you 🙏🏽 ✊🏾
Perfect video and start for Black History Month ❤️
It's not ‼️
What?! It’s all lies.
@@Cyndi72
*It's a Lie*
0:02
"Black American History Month had it's roots in the Philippines "
That is a fraudulent lie‼️
Black History Week, now Month started with it's roots entirely in the Continental United States of America not the Philippines which at that time was a U.S. Territory.
Yes the context to this video is a lie ‼️
Wow, thank you for this, I never knew of this connection. I I’ll definitely be picking up your book. Thank you so much for this sharing.
Thank you so much, Brother, for your research and effort to uncover what really happened to our Indigenous peoples in the Philippines, as well as here in Americas!🥰 However, I invite you to push a little deeper to recognize that Colonization was a game played all over the world, and some people who you thought might have been working for the so-called African Americans ( because this term is a misnomer that was not used until the late 1980s, coined by Jessie Jackson) were actually working against the collective indigenous peoples of the Americas ( often wrongfully labeled as Black, Negro, African-American, Colored, Afro-American, and even Black American). This was done in an effort to take the Indigenous Americans away from their land by teaching, via the SAME educational method, that so-called African-Americans came from Africa, (believing this takes away any rights to the land) when our ancestors were Truly from the American soil. It is a lot to try to explain, but I ask and encourage you to research a bit deeper to continue to uncover the TRUTH, because the almost EXACT same thing that happened here in the Americas, happened to the Indigenous of the Philippines, and ALL over the world. The story of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade was told in REVERSE and the story really included the American “Indian”Slave Trade! Thankfully, we are in the Age of Aquarius and the Truth is coming out!!! Thanks again, Brother, for ALL of the hard work and research you have done!!! PLEASE keep doing what you are doing!!! 🥰🥰🥰 Please check out these videos:

Thank u brother. It’s sad to see our communities at odds.
Thanks for this video. I never understood the connections between African Americans and Philippines.
Excellent video👏🏾
Same thing happened in the Americas and how the eumelanated Indians wound up as African Americans, despite the fact enslaved Africans only made up 10 to 20% of The Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade, also Filipinos was brought to the Americas as slaves in the 15 and 1600's by the Portuguese and Spaniards but American History doesn't cover the Pacific Slave Trade that was going on either.
They keep it in silent
They pulled that evil all around the world.
Great
Carla Linton. I love to Celebrate My Black History Month.
The Filipino people and Black people share a common Black root which goes back to the very beginning of time.
It is inspiring to hear the account of Carter G. Woodson and his educational contributions to the FILIPINO peoples. May his examples inspire both Black Filipinos and Black Americans to stand up and fight for what is right and just!!!
Those your book mention how Philippinos were originally negritos.
african diaspora exist in philippines
It exists all over the world. Everyone came from Africa. That’s why it’s so stupid when people argue over, black or white as if these are reality.
@@a.t.6322 that's the point I'm with you. what I'm tryna say also that is, we deny our africanity somuch, thinking one certain race is better than another without us even realizin that we came from same source that first started everything life has provided us
❤
Kuya Kirby, will you make "what if" videos as well? Like "What if we were never colonized by any country?"
Kirby - do you have a videos on David Fagen? I read about him years ago. Nevermind, I found it!
Haile Steinfield is part Blasian Phillipine and African American.
Your snaps are so loud. I’m jealous 😢
Did you cover the black guy who went to help fight for the Philippines and disappeared somewhere? I think it was after WW2.
Do you know about the Aeta's? They are blacks who live in the Philippines.
Read his bio, he has Aeta ancestry and he is proud of it.
@@matalino3614 That's good.
Do the story on David Fagen . That’s the real Black history story.
Even growing up in the Philippines in the 90s, you still feel the effects of US imperialism. Leaving philippines to pursue a better life in America was the ultimate goal.
Dropped Knowledge
i thought you was going to mention some of the black soldiers who switch to the Philippines side during the Philippine-American War. Still a great video.
That was the subject of my earlier videos and a huge chunk of my book 🙂
I used to think that Marcus Mosiah Garvey was a Protestant Preacher and who was one of the founding fathers of Rastafari Movement 🇧🇴. He converted to Roman Catholicism before he died pala. Mabuti po at napanood ko itong video mo Sir Kirby, Thanks po!

Salmat Salmat Salmat po my brother 🎉
Hello sir Kirby. May I ask what happen to your Ophir vlog? You seem to allude it was going to be a series...
Your so right the same thing did happen to both of us and the answers you lose yourself by losing your pass and there for not being able to grow properly and to the future being part of you is lost 💔 😔 I wish we would see the truth
Happy Black History Month, Family! I'm so glad our people are waking up. Teach the truth to free our people worldwide.
I just saw a comment stating King Leopold tried to buy the Philippines. I was horrified!
Educate to free the people!
Thank you for this Black History fact.
Edit
Black History Fact about Mr. Carter G. Woodson.
With regard to your book, I know that Blacks inspired and helped Filipinos in your freedom fight, but how did Filipinos help Black Americans? Solidarity involves both groups helping each other, not one group eating off the other, but giving nothing in return.
You ask the question have you ever looked into the answer? And with "Blacks" you mean Black Americans I presume? Not the Black Filipinos? Alot to unpack here.
@@urbnctrl I didnt make the claim that there was solidarity between the two groups, he did. Anyone who knows the definition of solidarity knows that involves both groups helping one another. However, he only presented info on how Black Americans helped them. If he makes a claim it is up to him , not the listener, to prove the accuracy of it. You have clearly never taken a course in logic.
Exactly! 💯
Real talk
It's often never reciprocated.
Will you get restocks on your books?
Mabuhay
