Very timely for the La Naval de Manila festival. Taas nuo ko yayakapin ang lahi ng mga ninuno natin. Lolo and Dad (Maximo Vicente Sr and Jr), i recognize your Kapangpangan roots of San Luis, Pampanga. Stay strong mga Pinoy, hindi tayo pa aampi sa dayuhan lahing mapa nampala sa atin dalampasigan.
If I may add, the Spanish also included the help of their mercenaries, the Christian samurai in this battle. These are the exiled Japanese Christians under the Blessed Dom Justo Takayama. They are more skilled than the Wokou pirates they encountered before, that's why they were recruited as mercenaries wherever they go. Christian samurai proven themselves in this battle, and in this battle, it is a triple alliance; the Spanish, Kapampangans and the Japanese Christians
I'm imagining this as an historically accurate mini-series, with Japanese, Spanish and Filipino actors speaking their native languages. Gosh! Kung billionaryo lang ako, I will fund this.
I love history and although I learn a lot from school and university, this topic is something that I learned on my own. I never knew the details though so I learned something new today. I believe that prayers have their credits too as a believer but I also agree that the physical efforts of our ancestors should be remembered too. Hoping that this kind of strategic thinking and courage of our ancestors are still alive in today's Filipinos for us to face our own struggles today.
I’m glad you found the video informative! It’s so important to honor our ancestors and learn from their experiences. Thanks for sharing your thoughts-it’s great to see your devotion and your passion for history!
Yes, the Dutch did attempt to colonize the Philippines during the 17th century. Their interest in the region was primarily driven by the lucrative spice trade and the desire to challenge Spanish and Portuguese dominance in Southeast Asia. The years 1621-1648 constituted the final phase of the Eighty Years' War (c. 1568-1648) between the Spanish Empire and the emerging Dutch Republic. It began when the Twelve Years' Truce (1609-1621) expired, and concluded with the Peace of Münster in 1648.
It's interesting to compare the situation at the time of the battles of La Naval, and that in World War II. At the time described in this video, the Dutch controlled both Formosa and the Spice Islands, but were unable to control the Philippines. In World War II, the Japanese controlled Taiwan, and easily took over Malaya and the Dutch East Indies, but Filipinos and Americans fought long and hard against the Japanese. Again, this was especially true of the native Filipinos who put up a strong guerilla resistance. We see some of the same Filipino resolve today in the West Philippine Sea. Filipinos have always been ready to fight for their motherland.
These battles are part of the larger Eighty Years' War, where Dutch rebels tried with ALL their might to separate from Spanish authorities in the Low Countries of Northwest Europe.
I love all your videos about Kapampangan warriors as it helps me understand the history more of my people as a half Kapampangan and half Visayan 🇵🇭 proud to b pinoy
The battle was won with Catholic faith and colonial iron. The ladies, Encarnación and Rosario, danced beautifully that night in the gaze of their Queen. And may the 15 soldiery dead rest in peace. ¡Ave Maria!
I disagree. In 1646, our Islands were still not converted to catholicism. We would be so much better if Spain didn’t convert us. A lot of Filipinos were murdered by the Spaniards if they didn’t convert. Our history is gone because of Spain. I don’t understand the love for Spain. People need to know history. My family was one of many that didn’t get to keep our Kapampangan surname.
@@MetungKP Please read up on actual history and not propaganda. A majority of ancient Filipinos didn't even have the modern concept "surnames" until the Spanish arrived, and further expanded with the Catálogo alfabético de apellidos. The standard practice was Christian names were given in baptism, and native names became surnames, though this was up to the person. It seems like the question of your surname lies on your family, which you should consult them about. If the Spanish didn't convert the Philippines, then you would face the Arabs, Dutch and French, who heavily practised slavery in their colonies, which both the church and Queen Isabela outlawed. Spanish monks also preserved Philippine history by cataloguing and translating native languages into Spanish, and preaching in the native tongue. Even standardizing the Baybayin script for natives to use. This prevented the dominant ethnicity (Tagalogs) to dominate Luzon, until revolution broke out and Tagalog culture dominated in law.
Wow, I did not know about the Maniago Revolt. Thanks to your channel, I've learned much about the contributions of the Kapampangans in PH History that are generally not emphasized in our history-books. (Thanks!) Had the Dutch won, our history & the Indonesians (& maybe even the Taiwanese) would probably be more intertwined. That would certainly have affected the geopolitics of the region. Now, how long could they have ruled, and would hit have affected World War Ⅱ in the Pacific?
Wow. I now know how significant our Kapampangan brothers and sisters were their roles during our colonial days. By the way they are one of the best in food delicacies. Love you our Kapampangans.

I was wondering what caused Visiyan/Cebuano and Tagalog to become the two most spoken languages. I know there are literally dozens of languages spoken, but it seems that Tagalog/Filipino and Visiyan are the ones that are by far the largest and widespread
Because Tagalogs and Visayans had bigger ethnic territory. The provinces from Baler to the North, to Mindoro to the South are Tagalog speaking. Then, there's Visayas and the coastal Mindanao that is settled by Visayans. In comparison, the ancestral territory of the Kapampangan people is the vast lands surrounding the Pampanga River.
Thank you for explaining that. My wife is from Bicol and I am huge fan of learning about the history of different people groups. I want to learn as much as I can so I can teach my son both sides of his roots. I wish there were more channels like this one.
The language that time is kapampangan and visaya......the tagalog rise when the spanish make manila as capital then more people migrate to manila .....they live their and adopt the tagalog language from the natives😅
The small virays of the kapampangan didnt do much for against the dutch corsairs. The ones who dealt real damage are the spanish led galleons that are armed with bronze cannons.
Are you a historian? 😅 i will listen to you when you can prove that you are an historian..mr.kirby didnt say all of that withouth research and evidence of documentation.......😅
@@FREEMEN.1989 I know that mr Kirby Araullo does research but he believes the natives stories about the battles too much, and somewhat kind of deglorifies or overshadows the spanish effort and the miracle of the mother of the holy rosary that was shown in the battle. His documentary is good but for me its just too one sided and favors the kapampangan documents too much.
Up until WWII, they celebrated the La Naval in Sto Domingo Church in Intramuros where the virgin was stored before in it was moved to Quezon City. They would walk barefoot during procession.
In the first place that victory benefited the Spanish colonizers who fought the Dutch to the last Filipino. Given the ever persistent colonial mentality of Pinoys the La Naval story's lesson is lost.
As usual anti spanish slant, but good effort. The battle was way more dire than ur narration. Capampangans helped vs brits yet again. Hence bacolor as the royal city.
based on your story about the bravery and superior fighting skills of kapampangans and how they[together with few spanish ships and men] defeated the massive dutch invasion force...the kapampangans could have easily defeated the spanish and drove them out of the country........if the kapampangans joined in solidarity with the visayans and the people of sulu they could have driven the spanish colonists out. lapu lapu did and the people in the south[sulu] were never subjugated nor defeated..if they ally all together it would have been a force to contend with.
Tanong lang po kung nasakop ni Juan Lopez de legaspi ang Kaharian ng Tondo noon kasama ang mga Bisaya. di nangangahulugan na ang mga tao ngayon sa Maynila ay ang mga Bisaya? kasi ang mga Taga Maynila ngayon ay hindi marunong magsalita ng Malalim na tagalog.
the[visayans] were very few......and in 300 years they would have assimilated as tagalogs....like a filipino in america where its children born there could barely speak tagalog in just one generation.
Duha.. nakit-an ko didto.. Cong-gratulations Sir Kirby.. Last time, you were a Rajah.. I'm driving to Sacramento area by December to visit with my brother. I'm from NW Florida.
I always heard “kapampangan” in your videos. Philippine history is not focusing in kapampangan. There so many ethnic groups in the Philippines that helped the country for any colonizer invasion. But i really love your videos! Very informative! 👌🏻
Kapampangans were known for their loyalty to the Spanish during the colonial period, partly due to strategic alliances. Their economic strength and military support earned them certain privileges, setting them apart as a powerful regional group.
The Kapampangans were the Spaniards main Filipino soldiers. Look up Francisco Laksamana, a descendant of Rajah Lakandula. He was a Kapampangan who saved Manila from local Chinese uprising and from sending Filipino slaves to Taiwan per the request of Koxinga. Reason being was that Koxinga considered the Philippines a tributary to the Chinese and wanted slaves. Depending on whose story you believe, the Chinese where said to have killed many Filipinos & Spaniards in 1662 at Santa Cruz, Binondo, & Quiapo. Other story or account was that it was the Spaniards who fired on unarmed Chinese citizens. Anyway, the Chinese fled to Taytay & Antipolo and created their own "Great Wall of Manila". The Spaniards then unleashed the 4000 Spartan- Kapampangans storm troopers on them led by Laksamana and they slaughtered all the Chinese with no prisoners taken. Laksamana returned to Manila a hero and at Fort Santiago ( close to the US Embassy btw today), was awarded the highest honor in the Spanish Army by leading that Spanish Army for a day. A local "Indio" was in charge of a European army. Never done before in the 300 + years the Castillas ruled the Philippines. You didn't want to mess with Kapampangans in those days. 😅. Even the Americans wanted the Kapampangans as their colony soldiers ( Macabebe/ Philippines Scouts).
