Kirby Aruallo, it’s easy to see that you’re Kapanpangan noting how many times you mentioned that ethnicity. I know you folks think that you’re some sort of nobility among Filipinos despite many disagreeing. It’s also hard to believe that there were Christians in Manila before Spain took over. Perhaps you can tell us what missionaries came before the Spanish Augustinians brought by the Spaniards. Yes, I think you’re going to say they came from China or Japan but, that claim was never substantiated. Indigenous workers and soldiers cooperating with their European administrators were very common during the colonial days and, not mentioning them in battles or projects goes without saying. This fact is not something of a revelation. I think you’re in the right track with your historical videos and my aforementioned statement were more of a constructive criticism. I often watch historical documentaries.
Ganyan dapat s wakas nag bigay k rin ng books, kung nag e-story telling k, at history ang topic pinaka tama mong gawain dapat meron kang aklat n binibigay s mga tao , kasi kapag wala kang link or title ng aklat n binibigay lumalabas na conspiracy lang lahat ng sinasabi mo, yan ang pinaka basic na paraan sa pag shashare ng story about s history dapat meron kang basis para suportahan lahat ng sinasabi mo
Very interesting historical pieces. I hope they are facts and not hallucinations( Filipinos are well known hallucinatory).

Actually many of the "Spaniards" that went to the Philippines were actually Native Americans from Mexico, especially Tlaxcaltecas, that's why there's some Nahuatl influence in the Filipino languages. That's overlooked as well.
yes, and refocus to the important stuff from trivial s***. Like for example why do college students have to know the names of Jose Rizal's sisters instead of explaining the rationale of his advocacy for example.
As a latinamericano, Spanish speaker, I can say that the Philippines is just like any latinamericano country. I have been in Manila, Cagayan de Oro, and Iligan City. And I was surprised that Filipino culture is really like a Latin American country. Spaniors Conquistadors really were everywhere.
Hi Kirby I love your videos especially when you talk about history of Filipinas 🇵🇭 unfortunately a lot of Filipinos ignore the past, thanks for your time and one more time you are one of new generations of the new ilustrados from phillipines greetings from Houston Texas USA 🇺🇸
Kirby Araullo wow I live 12 years in Los Ángeles and 4 years in San José when I was there that's when i met a lot filipinos and i was interested about especially Filipinas was Spanish colony so we are brothers, I so happy to hear more about if you have time do videos about galeón of Manila and friendship between Mexico and phillipines
As a Filipino who re-enacts the French & Indian War (woodland native impression), I’ve actually asked custom gunsmiths with specialize in black powder muzzle loaders to craft an istinggar for me so I can also do precolonial Filipino impressions and educate others, especially my fellow pinoys. Great video as always!
My goodness.... so much real truths in our history that should be revealed, reiterated, and must be integrated in our modern history classes. :) Pre-hispanic Studies I 'd like to think is larger and more-valuable than what we are currently teaching our young (and even old) Filipino learners these days. Thank you for asserting these truths.... Dear Kirby :)
From the point of view of Madrid, people from the Philipines, were also Spanish citizens. Other thing is what Europeans living in the Philipines (or America), would think)...
Its so cool how my knowledge on Philippine history is connecting because I took interest in Filipino martial arts (FMA) kali recently, and watched videos alll about it and they talked about how Filipino soldiers would join the Spanish army because it gave them the opportunity to practice the martial arts as they would be granted access to weapons things that they were prohibited to own when the Spanish were at rule. So many interesting things to know about !
Okay, why the heck haven't they made a movie about this?! Pirates of the Carribean wasted SO many movies when they could've had THIS! Love the new setup btw!
Hi sir kirby! Ive watched this vid from kings and generals just when they released it. So its nice that someone who actually is filipino and knows our history shed more light about our past. We appriciate you. Im a proud cagayano agragsak kami!
“History will be kind to me for I intend to write it “ no mention of the Native American Indians from Tlaxcala known as the tlaxcaltecos that helped the Spanish , I’m not too sure about the loyalty of the local Philippine natives to the point of aiding the conquerors and invaders that were not Asian , if anything they would be loyal to “their own” people being Asians , but it’s your video , it’s your party and you can cry if you want to…
Sir Kirby, I would like to request a video about Pre-colonial Ilocanos. There is little documentation of our ancestors in Ilocos of their pre-colonial life
I am ilocano too. I hope he will make videos about Kingdom of Samtoy. The contact with traders from china and elsewhere. The only precolonial arts flourished up to this the was pottery in Vigan. Introduced by Chinese.. i hope he will make vids about this
Already watched the documentary and battles like these were so rare and heard little from the our history books. Kings and generals is one of my favorite RUclips channels.
@@scintillam_dei Let me refute you the claim of Samurai clashing however. I will tell you this; by the Sengoku Jidai era, the only Wakou were not even samurai as the So clan is practically stuck watching and trading as the Oda and Ouchi domination of that time period kept everyone on their toes thinking of an impending invasion in their borders. The only wakou would be traders and bandits of the area, the Chinese peasants, and the other Asian bandits, as Ronin and defectors became scarce as the wars have yet to come to a close in Japan.
@@ousamadearudesuwa "wars have yet to come to a close in Japan" which is why samurais who lost in war fled to southern realms like Cagayán to work as mercenaries or bodyguards. There was a Japanese man who became the governor of the southern province of Siam, and he had a bunch of Japanese mercenaries who served the Siamese king (or usurper; forgot which one). Why would Siam hire ordinary fighters from Japan when what they sought were ELITES AKA samurais? My video proves that Spain hired samurais too. :-)
I learned a lot through your videos about pre colonial history of the Philippines and this put me onto more great pride of my roots being a Filipino. Thank you Kirby!
So I work with hispanic clients of indigenous Mexican or mestizo heritage here in the states and it has been in their oral history that the Tlaxcaltecs, notorious enemies of the Aztecs back in the day, also aided the Spanish conquistadors in this battle and to reclaim the islands for Spain..
Question: If indeed that written history can be, at times, laced with exaggerations and hyperbole, why is it that we can say that oral traditions can be accepted as historical fact? Where is the line to differentiate exaggeration and lies from fact from both written and oral history?
A simple answer. It can but most likely is not going to be. Historians specialized in the subject will consider so many things revolving around the subject before saying that the "oral" or "written" history can even be said to be a fact. Though if they are the only evidence that is left. Yeah, most likely it's going to be accepted as fact but with a grain of salt. Just like the history about Julius Ceasar.
@@drejade7119 Yes. That is why for me I'm more skeptical on those coming from oral history because it too can be biased and there is not way to substantiate that fact. Here in the Philippines, we all have this "urban legends" and one of the most famous urban legends are these so called Filipino inventors who invented some modern equipment and was sideswiped by foreigners. Its never written but spread orally.
There was probably less than a thousand samurais in kyoto at the time, i really doubt such amount would be fighting as pirates using katanas vs an unknown force of foreign knights
Gaspar de San Agustin, though not a first hand source, mentions the presence of the aracbuceros de Pampanga led by Agustin Songsong, an ancestor of Agustin Pamintuan of the 1663 Maniago Revolt.
This is actually awesome! My college professor once shared about this battle, but was kind of a passing thought. This should be an interesting plot for a movie. I really enjoy watching your videos, Sir Kirby! Keep ‘em comin’. Hehe
I did some research brod, the royals caught in the Tondo conspiracy were exiled to Guerrero, Mexico which became the center of the Mexican revolution against Spain and that there was even a Filipino from Manila in Miguel Hidalgo's revolt his name was Ramon Fabie.
AYYYY!!!!!! Thanks for the shout out man! I loved the video! I had just watched the K&G video, and wondered what you’d say on the topic and lo and behold! You’re the best dude!! 👏🏼😎
I have heard all kind stories about the Cagayan battle, even one that the Spanierds have native allies, but Mexian Natives (Tlaxcaltecas who have helped in the past to conquer the Aztec empire and the rest of Mexico) Because Lopez de Legazpi left in 1563 from Barra de Navidad to the Philippies expedition with Spaniard soldiers and sailors, and Tlaxcaltecas Warriors, And the first story I heard that 40 Spaniars (los tercios Españoles) defeated 1000 Japanese pirates who have arrived in a giant Junco (Junk).
Datu Kirby, I love your videos. It's awesome to know that our ancestors were valiant and fearsome warriors. Is it true that the cultural fighting arts of our ancestors were the ancient form of arnis/eskrima/kali? Would love to see a video about the origins of our national martial arts/sports. More power to you. 👍👍👍
Greetings! What a very excellent commentary on the Battle of Cagayan River. I am currently intrigued by the mention of Tagalog and Visayan settlers in Cagayan, and how they introduced nipa wine making among the Cagayan natives. May I ask which sources can this information be read? It would be a great help in my personal research on Cagayan history. I would also like to add, that opposite the Spaniards who were supported by the Tagalog, Kampangan, etc., the wako in Cagayan were also probably aided by locals, specifically, the Ibanag.
Thank you for this enlightening video. My hope is that present-day history teachers are aware of this information and teaching this in their Philippines history classes. Calling the head of our Department of Education.
Sir Kirby, can you make a video of the Huangdom of Caboloan (ancient Pangasinan) my home province. I want to know more about our province roots and its ancient roots that traded with Ancient China.
The Dilao existed to the east of the Intramuros along one of the branches of the Pasig River in 1600. After the Sangley revolt of 1603 the Intramuros was enlarged, to include the land the Parian had been built on, and it now included the primary trading trading area for eastern products inside its walls. At this time non-Spanish colonials were allowed to settle and live within the Intramuros.
Datus and Lakans were tribal leaders. There was a Sultan in that part of Luzon who maintained a province on the north side of the Pasig under Spanish rule. The ruling family and clan in Manila was kicked out after Legazapi took over the town, and they lived in a village outside the Itramuros for hundreds of years just south of the moat. Every once in awhile one of the priests would send a message to the king to seek reoperations for their lost lands and good, but I don't think they were ever paid a settlement.
I don’t think so but there is an idjang (A castle fort found in Ryuku Islands as well in some areas in East Asia) in Batanes (the northernmost island of the Philippines; also near the area where the samurai pirates reside).
Watching this again Kirby, napaka epic kasi talaga. Imagine a movie, opening scene a royal decree from Ming closing their borders for trade exempting Lu Sung, next scene ships from different nations gathering in Manila, Pangasinan and the pirates in Cagayan. Kilabot!!!
The native walled city of Manila was burned down on 1570 during the Battle of Manila. It was later rebuilt with wood trunks again but it was again burned down several times due to several conflicts including the Limahong Attack of 1574 then the spaniards finally decided to build it with stone on 1590.
hello po kuya kirby. And although it's a bit unrelated to this video, but if I can suggest a history topic to talk about for one of your future videos po, can you cover a full video po on princess urduja? I know it's debatable if whether or not she really existed, pero my dad actually lives and grew up in Lingayen in his life. And he actually tells me that Princess Urduja is real. Although the internet exists to make things accessible for research, I find myself failing to see the sides of scholars who have made countless research about her. Where in fact, all of those people claimed that the warrior princess is mere fiction. I believe po that the story of Princess Urduja is a story worth talking about in detail, much like the other historian traces we have in the Philippines. Whether her existence is fact or mere fiction, her story should never be erased. Yun lang po masasabi ko kasi curious din ako sa history niya hehehe
Very informative, Sir! Naghahanap po talaga ako ng detalyadong impormasyon tungkol sa Wukou. Maraming salamat po rito, Sir! Nag-subscribe na rin po ako dahil ang gaganda po ng Philippine History Video mo. 😍😍
Early ako para ma history ako. Lolz. I thank God that even though life is hard, I'm blessed. More blessed I am when I found this channel. Salamat sir Kirby.
Hello po Kuya Kirby can you make a video about the Bruneian Empire? I know Brunei has some history with pre colonial Philippines and has to do with spreading of islam in Luzon can you talk about the Castilian war po enjoying your videos!
This is a very eye opening, if they ever made films about this historical battles it wil not only educate our country men but may also result to one of the best films about phil history ever made. Sir Kirby may napanood akong short history of Philippines dito din sa YT about egyptian/ottoman vs filipino/spaniards/aztecs? Would love to know more if its a fact as well po heheh. Love your videos 😁🥳
Hey, an idea just recently came in mind and I'm wondering if you could cover it, which are the different backstories of Filipino lullabies/song games like ili ili tulog anay and nanay tatay. It came in my head when we were watching about a horror story of it
I just found your channel! This is Gold! I always wanted to know more about our history. As an aspiring writer myself your works will surely influence me 🥰🥰🥰
@@scintillam_dei You got no proper argument man. On your video you were insisting that those pirates were samurais as if calling all Japanese are Samurais, is all of Spain Conquestadoris? And yeah I doubt the Spanish who were present at the skirmishes in Cagayan were Tercios. Nobody is disrespecting the Spanish Empire. You're just being a butthurt dude on the Internet. IF you don't agree with someone else's opinion then so be it, just don't do adhominem. Good luck with that.
Sírvase utilizar un traductor de la Red si lo necesita. Es realmente increíble que alguien que presume de ser historiador tenga tan poco respeto por sí mismo. Anuncia unos contenidos de los que no dice absolutamente nada, tarda mucho más de medio video en empezar a tratar el asunto central para inmediatamente cerrar el tema con una serie de suposiciones. Eso sí, enaltece el valor de los guerreros autóctonos, cuando lo que habría que celebrar es la integración de todos los soldados españoles en un solo ejército cristiano con independencia de su origen étnico o social, para defender de piratas y criminales la tierra filipina.
17:47 Ah, McKinley. History question: I've heard Czolgosz assassinated McKinley because Czolgosz opposed American imperialism in the Filipino-American War. Thoughts / accuracy?
Sir kirby who's the first foreign trader (what country, name of the person, what year, what is their trade, what ancient "Filipino" tribe were they able to trade in the pre-colonial Philippines?
Sana po soon. I am learning a lot from your videos po. Podcast can be a great medium too because it is more convenient even while walking I can listen to your lectures.
Divide and Rule was the tactic applied to conquer and forged the Islands into one unit. The Visayans ( Sugbu and Hiligaynon) were used for the conquest of Maynila in 1570 and for the Subjugation of the rest of Luzon. The Colonizers never taught us their language so as to keep the indigenous language and it's native speakers apart from each other. Woe to us Natives, History is written by the victors.
The Spaniards did not teach the Pinoy natives the Spanish language indeed to prevent them from uniting. THis was borne by their experience in the Americas where the Indians were taught Spanish, and then they united and revolted against them. However, there is a silver lining to this development. The dialects of the native Central and South American Indians are practically dead, with only about 6% native speakers. In the Philippines, our dialects survived, which gave us our distinct regional identities. In fact, I decry the Pinoy's lack of respect for the dialects. We ourselves destroyed our own dialects, which the Spaniards tried to preserve. Sino ang may sala sa huli?
Thank you so much for this Kirby. God, this makes me so mad - how backwards our education system is when it comes to our own history. Can you also recommend the best reads for these topics?
Isolated from Europeans and other non east Asian or non south east Asian, yes. Just because it was illegal to trade with the outside doesn’t mean everyone followed the law. Their pirates went around Asia to smuggle Chinese goods as well as rice fermentation jars from the Philippines (Rusun jars [from Luzon] were at one point worth more than gold to them since they fermented rice really well, some old shrines and ancestor houses in Japan still have those jars)
No they were pretty much isolated. These were Japanese pirates and a mixed of other pirates who joined forces. So pirates were pretty much driven out of their homeland.
Sir please do a reaction of any martial law documentaries I feel like a lot of Filipinos are really misinformed about our country's history lots of revisionism happening now a days.
The reason why there were Japanese in Cagayan battles is because the name of the pirate leader is Tay Fusa. This does not match the Japanese name, but it is said that it may be a transliteration of Taifu-sama. In Japanese, the Chinese character for Taifu is read as tayu. Searching for Taifu-sama in Japanese only detects irrelevant words. also pronounced as tāi-hu in Hokkien Chinese, or dàfū in Mandarin Standard Chinese. dàfù is the chief officer in Chinese. Many of Later wokou were Chinese. VOC Officer, Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies Jan Pieterszoon Coen (1587 - 1629) "Japanese mercenaries were brave than the Dutch. Japanese mercenaries are a great help in driving Spain out of Asia."

I think history books used in schools here in the Philippines need to be reviewed...
and re-edited
History books used in school are just a preface of our rich history, if you want to learn more you have to research.
yes, and refocus to the important stuff from trivial s***. Like for example why do college students have to know the names of Jose Rizal's sisters instead of explaining the rationale of his advocacy for example.
Nais yata nila itong kalimutan.

No se dice latino americano, se dice hispano americano, y en este caso somos todos hispanos: europeos, asiáticos y americanos.
For your information Philippines is divided from different ethnic groups with different languages and cultures so we are not like hispanic😊
@Miss_Hannah you are right, I was just pointing out some similarities.
I can see the similarities and the Hispanic influence but at the same time I still feel that we are a Southeast Asian country at the end of the day.

where can we follow you to see your re-enactments? any SNS?

Love the new setup btw!
True dapat lang grabe siguro action yung tipo pang Hollywood ang quality dapat lahat ng Filipino wars gawan nila ng movies.
No movies because none of the participant in this conflict was from Anglo origin ;)
The movies are fictional!
Because they need a movie where the whites are glorified
They did! Swiss Family Robinson!

Every once in awhile one of the priests would send a message to the king to seek reoperations for their lost lands and good, but I don't think they were ever paid a settlement.
The Spaniards did the same in the Americas, the native allies really helped in defeating the native empires
do they still have the Japanese castle in appari?
I don’t think so but there is an idjang (A castle fort found in Ryuku Islands as well in some areas in East Asia) in Batanes (the northernmost island of the Philippines; also near the area where the samurai pirates reside).
Watching this again Kirby, napaka epic kasi talaga. Imagine a movie, opening scene a royal decree from Ming closing their borders for trade exempting Lu Sung, next scene ships from different nations gathering in Manila, Pangasinan and the pirates in Cagayan. Kilabot!!!
Yoooooo this channel is underrated, broo U deserve a million subs like Wtf I learned a lot from you than my history teacher.
Thank you 😊
Kirby araullo was one of the samurai. This is why he reacted to this
🤣🤣🤣
also what happened to the walled city of manila? did they destroy it?
It was burned due to an interclan warfare/battle. I forgot the specific names
The native walled city of Manila was burned down on 1570 during the Battle of Manila. It was later rebuilt with wood trunks again but it was again burned down several times due to several conflicts including the Limahong Attack of 1574 then the spaniards finally decided to build it with stone on 1590.
I alway enjoy po your videos. These are the types of topics na hinahanap ko about our history. More please.
hello po kuya kirby. And although it's a bit unrelated to this video, but if I can suggest a history topic to talk about for one of your future videos po, can you cover a full video po on princess urduja?
I know it's debatable if whether or not she really existed, pero my dad actually lives and grew up in Lingayen in his life. And he actually tells me that Princess Urduja is real. Although the internet exists to make things accessible for research, I find myself failing to see the sides of scholars who have made countless research about her. Where in fact, all of those people claimed that the warrior princess is mere fiction.
I believe po that the story of Princess Urduja is a story worth talking about in detail, much like the other historian traces we have in the Philippines. Whether her existence is fact or mere fiction, her story should never be erased.
Yun lang po masasabi ko kasi curious din ako sa history niya hehehe
Nice video to let us know colorful history of southeast Asia.
Have you already covered the Teleporting Spanish Soldier story?
The gil Perez mystery
Hello sir Kirby try to discuss Pre-Colonial Visayas and Mindanao

Early ako para ma history ako. Lolz. I thank God that even though life is hard, I'm blessed. More blessed I am when I found this channel. Salamat sir Kirby.
Hello po Kuya Kirby can you make a video about the Bruneian Empire? I know Brunei has some history with pre colonial Philippines and has to do with spreading of islam in Luzon can you talk about the Castilian war po enjoying your videos!
This is a very eye opening, if they ever made films about this historical battles it wil not only educate our country men but may also result to one of the best films about phil history ever made. Sir Kirby may napanood akong short history of Philippines dito din sa YT about egyptian/ottoman vs filipino/spaniards/aztecs? Would love to know more if its a fact as well po heheh. Love your videos 😁🥳
We should know all about our history all history matters
This need to be reached in school
Is there any way we can study under u? huhu I have been seeking to learn and dig deeper about our history!
Hey, an idea just recently came in mind and I'm wondering if you could cover it, which are the different backstories of Filipino lullabies/song games like ili ili tulog anay and nanay tatay. It came in my head when we were watching about a horror story of it
what surname or word was invented first? Nonoyama or Nonoy?
I just found your channel! This is Gold! I always wanted to know more about our history. As an aspiring writer myself your works will surely influence me 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you 😊

I beat Metatron's video, showing he lies and is a hypocrite.
@@scintillam_dei Nahh I watched your video bro, you have proven nothing.
edit: Attack the argument not the person.
@@aljonzc You're a liar since I attacked his arguments and his dishonest person, not just his person. You run from ALL of my arguments. Weak.
@@scintillam_dei You got no proper argument man. On your video you were insisting that those pirates were samurais as if calling all Japanese are Samurais, is all of Spain Conquestadoris? And yeah I doubt the Spanish who were present at the skirmishes in Cagayan were Tercios. Nobody is disrespecting the Spanish Empire. You're just being a butthurt dude on the Internet. IF you don't agree with someone else's opinion then so be it, just don't do adhominem. Good luck with that.
Sírvase utilizar un traductor de la Red si lo necesita. Es realmente increíble que alguien que presume de ser historiador tenga tan poco respeto por sí mismo. Anuncia unos contenidos de los que no dice absolutamente nada, tarda mucho más de medio video en empezar a tratar el asunto central para inmediatamente cerrar el tema con una serie de suposiciones. Eso sí, enaltece el valor de los guerreros autóctonos, cuando lo que habría que celebrar es la integración de todos los soldados españoles en un solo ejército cristiano con independencia de su origen étnico o social, para defender de piratas y criminales la tierra filipina.
Imagine: All Precolonial stories being told in an adventurous way? Hollywood 😘👍🏻🇵🇭♥️
hey kirby, how do you know that you're a descendant of raja Sulaiman?
edit: and also raja matanda
Was there any chance for Spain to fail in its conquest to conquer the Philippines?

17:47 Ah, McKinley. History question: I've heard Czolgosz assassinated McKinley because Czolgosz opposed American imperialism in the Filipino-American War. Thoughts / accuracy?
Hello, do you know If there were Mexican Tlaxcaltecan troops among the Spaniards ranks?
It's not filipino but watch the series called Hernán its very accurate I hope they do one that accurately depicts the Spaniards entry to maharlika.
Teach us KULITAN kirby
Sir kirby who's the first foreign trader (what country, name of the person, what year, what is their trade, what ancient "Filipino" tribe were they able to trade in the pre-colonial Philippines?
Yo, brotha you should have a collab with KnG to make a video about Filipino history!
Hello Sir Kirby, Filipino Gen Z here. Do you have podcast channel?
Not yet, but I've been wanting/planning to for several years now lol
Sana po soon. I am learning a lot from your videos po. Podcast can be a great medium too because it is more convenient even while walking I can listen to your lectures.
There's a lot of things missing from our history books!
How can I be a Patreon?
Divide and Rule was the tactic applied to conquer and forged the Islands into one unit. The Visayans ( Sugbu and Hiligaynon) were used for the conquest of Maynila in 1570 and for the Subjugation of the rest of Luzon. The Colonizers never taught us their language so as to keep the indigenous language and it's native speakers apart from each other. Woe to us Natives, History is written by the victors.
The Spaniards did not teach the Pinoy natives the Spanish language indeed to prevent them from uniting. THis was borne by their experience in the Americas where the Indians were taught Spanish, and then they united and revolted against them.
However, there is a silver lining to this development. The dialects of the native Central and South American Indians are practically dead, with only about 6% native speakers.
In the Philippines, our dialects survived, which gave us our distinct regional identities. In fact, I decry the Pinoy's lack of respect for the dialects. We ourselves destroyed our own dialects, which the Spaniards tried to preserve.
Sino ang may sala sa huli?
Hi Kirby, did Capampangans lose their independent fleet after Francisco Maniago revolted in the 1660s?
Bonito video ingles hecho para los ingleses
Thank you so much for this Kirby. God, this makes me so mad - how backwards our education system is when it comes to our own history. Can you also recommend the best reads for these topics?
Thanks Kirby! When will we free our schools of colonial teachings? I think it is time!
So cool
can you make a Philippine Presidents tier list ?? ?
So, Japan wasn't really that isolated then?
Isolated from Europeans and other non east Asian or non south east Asian, yes. Just because it was illegal to trade with the outside doesn’t mean everyone followed the law. Their pirates went around Asia to smuggle Chinese goods as well as rice fermentation jars from the Philippines (Rusun jars [from Luzon] were at one point worth more than gold to them since they fermented rice really well, some old shrines and ancestor houses in Japan still have those jars)
@@bmona7550 Oh shit, thanks for that cool trivia
No they were pretty much isolated. These were Japanese pirates and a mixed of other pirates who joined forces. So pirates were pretty much driven out of their homeland.
Sir please do a reaction of any martial law documentaries I feel like a lot of Filipinos are really misinformed about our country's history lots of revisionism happening now a days.
1000 Tlaxcaltecas warriors from Mexico with Spanish guides defeated the Japanese ...🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
New listener here. Tanong lang po Sir Kirby. Ano po history bakit tawag sa mga kapampangan ay "Dugong aso"
Ngayon ko lng narinig yan Dugong Aso O_O
mostly kakampi ng mga dayuhan ang mga kapampangan noong rebolusyon ang pampanga lang ang bukod tanging lalawigan na lumaban para sa mga españa
The reason why there were Japanese in Cagayan battles is because the name of the pirate leader is Tay Fusa. This does not match the Japanese name, but it is said that it may be a transliteration of Taifu-sama. In Japanese, the Chinese character for Taifu is read as tayu. Searching for Taifu-sama in Japanese only detects irrelevant words. also pronounced as tāi-hu in Hokkien Chinese, or dàfū in Mandarin Standard Chinese. dàfù is the chief officer in Chinese. Many of Later wokou were Chinese.
VOC Officer, Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies Jan Pieterszoon Coen (1587 - 1629) "Japanese mercenaries were brave than the Dutch. Japanese mercenaries are a great help in driving Spain out of Asia."
Why this epic battle wasn't written to our Philippine history?
Love to meet you one day Kirby!
