Good god,Filipinos emigrated to Cuba in the 16th century,we even had a Filipino governor in Havana back them..Filipinos are everywhere,just like us Cubans.
@@ferdinandhabonga4676 Filipino Cubans include the Azcarraga Fessner family, whose patriarch was Marcelo de Azcarraga y Palmero, the first Prime Minister of Spain with Indian blood, whose mother was a Filipina from the Lizarrabal and Palmero families. The Pinar del Rio Province in Cuba, was formerly called "Nueva Filipinas" in the 18th century due to mass immigration of Filipinos and other Asians to the area to work in the region's tobacco industry. Asians immigrated to Cuba through the Manila-Acapulco galleon trade route and they were known generally known as "Chinos Manila".

@@deenewconcepts3856 my family oral history had Filipinos at St Malo at LEAST in the last decade of the 18th Century. The Isleños families I interviewed in St Bernard Parish, where St Malo community was, also have an oral history of Filipinos being in the bayou when they came from the Canary Islands about that time. They remember old family photos of St Malo, and told me the Manilamen and Isleños were able to live peacefully, though separately, because they could communicate in Spanish. Eventually those men intermarried with Isleños, French, Spanish and Native Americans. My first Grandfather, Felipe, was at St Malo with his wife Brigette Nugent (Irish) in 1849, but they moved to a more family friendly village at Bayou Bienvenue shortly after. The men at St Malo are said to have told the British where the Americans were on the Mississippi after their ships found their way into Lake Borgne. However, there is very plausible speculation that some of them joined Lafitte and his pirates in their aide to Andrew Jackson at the Battle of New Orleans, as some Isleños from the area did.

Amazing!the only first history of Filipinos in America that I have known of was Antonio Miranda-one of the 46th founders of the City of Los Angeles in California,but I never knew that there was so much more deeper history of Filipinos in America since late 1500.Thank you very much, I have learnt more from your video.
Thank you. Where I am from we are taught America is a continent and this country where we live is called EE.UU. I learned the term America to be used to call the country once I moved in. Thanks for the awesome info
Great video. I've always been proud of my Filipino heritage and was shocked when I first learned about the manilamen. I later learned about the Morro bay incident. What a crazy history. Love the channel, I'd love to get you on my podcast sometime!
As far as I have understood po, the first documented Filipino migration to the US made complete sense to me. Due to extreme limitations of sea travel during the early times, this is what made sense to me po. When Magellan's galleons first circumnavigated the earth and at one point landed in the eastern islands of the Phil, (although Magellan was killed), as the giant ships exited our waters, some natives were both either taken by Spaniards as their servants and some took their chances as stowaway s, traveled with the galleons very distant from the Philippines. They somehow got the chance to either escape or were freed to a strange land also close to the waters since that's where they landed. It turned out to be the bayous of Louisiana, US of A. And they partially thrived there, feeling at home with the waters close by and built up a small community. That was documented in the 1520s po and has got to be the first ever for our race for obvious reasons po.
One of the lasting things Filipinos introduced to North/Central America is "tuba" (coconut toddy). I believe it is also called "tuba" in Mexico. Filipinos also introduced tuba in many of the Pacific islands (Micronesia & Polynesia) and is also called the same in many of these islands.
In Stockton California, there is a MANILA ROAD, and LITTLE MANILA. There is also a very tall building called FILIPINO PLAZA. Yes, FILIPINOS had been in US for a very long time.
Hey Kirby, did you realize you have a photo of my family in this piece? That large group of people were my great great grandma Elizabeth Madriaga Borabod and her daughters, including my great grandma Rosie.
Hey Kirby, can you please make a video about the 1904 World's fair trade, involving our Filipino natives as part of human exhibition. I believe this was inhumane yet grandiose part of American history.
Hey Kirby here's some interesting facts and history for you if you never knew this. There was a Mexican governor in the state of Guerrero named Alejandro Gomez Maganda who governed Guerrero in the 1950s and he was of Filipino decent too. And Maganda means beautiful in Tagalog too.
Filipino Mexicans (Spanish: Mexicanos Filipinos) are Mexican citizens who are descendants of Filipino ancestry.[1] There are approximately 1,200 Filipino nationals residing in Mexico.[2] In addition, genetic studies indicate that about a third of people sampled from Guerrero have Asian ancestry with genetic markers matching those of the populations of the Philippines.[3]
The Filipinos introduced many cultural practices to Mexico, such as the method of making palm wine, called "tubâ",[11][12][13] the mantón de Manila,[14][15][16] the chamoy,[17] and possibly the guayabera (called filipina in Veracruz and the Yucatán Peninsula).[18] Distillation technology for the production of tequila and mezcal was also introduced by Filipino migrants in the late 16th century, via the adaptation of the stills used in the production of Philippine palm liquor (lambanog) which were introduced to Colima with tubâ.[19][20] Filipino words also entered Mexican vernacular, such as the word for palapa (originally meaning "coconut palm leaf petiole" in Tagalog), which became applied to a type of thatching using coconut leaves that resembles the Filipino nipa hut.[4] Various crops were also introduced from the Philippines, including coconuts,[21] the Ataulfo and Manilita mangoes,[22][23] abacá, rice, and bananas. A genetic study in 2018 found that around a third of the population of Guerrero have 10% Filipino ancestry.[3]
Ramón Fabié y de Jesús (1785 - November 28, 1810) was a Philippines-born New Spanish mining engineering student who joined revolutionaries in the Mexican War of Independence.
Isidoro Montes de Oca (1789-1847) was a Mexican of Spanish descent born in the Philippines who was a revolutionary general who fought in the Mexican War of Independence between 1810 and 1821. He was among the commanders of the army of Vicente Guerrero and José María Morelos. And was a trusted man of Vicente Guerrero and was his sub-General. Originating from the Rancho de La Alhaja, in the current municipality of La Unión. He attended many war actions under the command of Morelos and Guerrero. He was head of the escort of Generalissimo Morelos called the 50 pairs. The main battle action where he stood out was that of the Treasury of Tamo, in Michoacán on September 15, 1818, in which the opposing forces numbered four times greater, they were totally destroyed. On the death of Don José María Morelos, on December 22, 1815, few insurgents remain fighting the royalists. The majority were pardoned but Vicente Guerrero continued fighting in the mountains of the south, who in the hacienda of Tamo (of the State of Michoacán today), together with Don Isidro Montes de Oca and with few and poorly armed insurgents, inflicted a real defeat on the royalist José Gabriel de Armijo and they also got enough equipment to properly arm 1,800 soldiers of freedom who in the future will deserve the respect of Agustín de Iturbide. He stood out for his courage in the siege of the Port of Acapulco in 1813, under the orders of General José María Morelos y Pavón. As well as in the Cuautla Site. He was present in the historical deed called Acatempan's embrace, between Iturbide and Vicente Guerrero. Near the end of the war he reached the rank of captain general. After the end of the Mexican war of independence, he obtained some positions in the government of the republic; standing out as senator of the State of Sonora. Later retiring of the public life and taking refuge in the town of Petatlán, Guerrero; where he dedicated himself to the administration of his property, as well as to the activities of cattle raising and agriculture. He spent his last days of life in that place, his remains are in the parish of Petatlán in whose town he died at the age of 58. At the death of Vicente Guerrero, Juan Álvarez was the political heir. Álvarez began to direct the followers of President Vicente Guerrero sacrificed in 1831. Other minor caciques and military leaders, including General Isidro Montes de Oca, joined around Álvarez. According to Ricardo Pinzon, two Philippines-born soldiers - Francisco Mongoy and Isidoro Montes de Oca - were so distinguished in battle that they are regarded as folk heroes in Mexico. General Vicente Guerrero later became the first president of Mexico of African descent.[1] Around the 1930s, the municipality La Unión Guerrero adopted its current name, La Unión de Isidoro Montes de Oca, in honor of the insurgent captain. His remains rest in the municipal pantheon of Petatlán, Guerrero.
The tuba drink is a traditional craft beverage that gives character to the state of Colima Mexico. However, this tropical “elixir” it's still unknown to many visitors. Tuba is a unique drink brought to Mexico from the Philippines by the Manila Galleon in the 16th century

Of course sailing from island to island in the philippines was the only method of transportation that can reach far and trade goods with other countries as far as china, malaysia, indonesia, taiwan and even as far as japan. But its an overstated fact. We just dont know who went to sail first, far from the country of origin to another foreign country. Egyptians, old greece also did it and the sea people. Even the tribes who live in easter island did it too. Spaniards came in late, because before spain became a unified country there were a lot of wars and invasions, even thd muslim group called umayyad caliphate ruled over spain before they became a unified country. First people to arrive in spain are the phoenician, they arrived by boat from the middle east to settle down there and made it their home. So who is first to sail is not the europeans or anyone we know. Its a food for thought but we cant claim it who did it first. Theres no real records to show, only guesses and preconceived claims.
Enjoyed your program...I think the writer Raymond Lala advertised he was the first Filipino to become an United States citizen..obviously long after the many peoples you mentioned.
We have too much in common. Almost same looks, same surnames, almost same foods, almost same language and both Philippines and Mexico were both fucked by Spain. God bless Philippines and Mexico! 🇵🇭🇲🇽
Thank you for you information that's why a lot of people in Acapulco look like Filipino even in Filipinas use naurhatl word the one use in Mexico, and thank to mention America word is from whole continent not only from USA greetings from Mexico
The descendants of these early migrants mostly settled in the regions near the terminal ports of the Manila galleons. These include Acapulco, Barra de Navidad, and San Blas, Nayarit, as well as numerous smaller intermediate settlements along the way.

A friendly correction: The pensionados who came in the early 1900s were NOT the first Filipinos in the United States. The first Filipinos in the US had formed a permanent settlement in Louisiana in 1763 before it was admitted to the Union. Having said that, you can say that the first Filipinos technically were in the US in 1812 when Louisiana became part of the US. However, the first landing of Filipinos in North America was in Morro Bay, CA on Oct. 18, 1587, some 33 years before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock and 263 years before California was admitted to the Union. The Morro Bay Filipinos were sailors identified as “Yndios Luzones” (or Luzon Indians) who served in the Manila-Acapulco galleon trade on the galleon Nuestra Señora de Esperanza.
Therefore the first OFW's are seamen of the Americas. What about the first export product of the Philippines? Is it the ship they built under the Spanish rulers for their journey to the Americas?
1587, Ayan, alam ko na. My grandfather came to California in 1929. My friend's father whom I had met in 1977 in CALIFORNIA, had fought for the US during WWI.
There was the Manila- Acapulco galleon trades which had Filipino sailors as part of the crew. Some of those guys never returned to the Philippines. Some went as far north as what is now California. Remember that 1/3 of the U.S. used to be part of New Spain. Large Filipino immigration didn't start until the U.S. occupation period.
Nice video my dude. Quick question, it would be very interesting to learn about Filipinos prior to American occupation(influenso?). Both, under Spanish influence(occupation) and prior to that.
I think this is what was called then as Manila Village in the mid 1800's. Some Manila men from whaling ships were recruited in the civil war also, described as men from Manila with swarthy complexion. ruclips.net/video/nv9Y4nGO8ms/видео.html

Filipinos were here before there was a US because spain had ships going back and forth between the Philippines and mexico. those stilt houses in the bayou came from pinoy design
My great-grandfather fought for the US in the Philippines & that’s how he earned his citizenship. My grandfather fought in Korea & my father fought in Vietnam. My cousins fought in the Gulf War, Afghanistan & Iraq. My nieces & nephews served Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria & Yemen. So don’t tell me I’m not any less American than a European-American. The only TRUE Americans here are the Natives.
Hey how do Filipino Americans get confused if they are Asian or not? The Philippines just hosted the Asian Games. The Philippines are one of the founding members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. The Philippines do not compete in the Pacific Games with other Pacific Islands nations. The Philippines do not join Pacific Islands Forum like other Pacific Islands countries. If they even spent 1 minute to look it up, they'd find out the Philippines is in Southeast Asia. It's not even partially located in the Pacific Islands region.
Funny I never see this blog before I watched The God Culture,,and they told about it all thru by scriptures but then they pour it too,,,now is coming Out all of a sudden what is really the history of the Philippines, .. when it was start,, A lot more to learn then...ty for this another things to know about... keep it up....!!!

Very Well Said ! Very Educational . It made Me More Proud If Both Of the Philippines And US Of America..
That is what I know ,Filipinos are the 1st inhabitants of Mexico .
Thanks for the Historical Infos
Kirby ....
That is true!
Filipino Mexicans (Spanish: Mexicanos Filipinos) are Mexican citizens who are descendants of Filipino ancestry.[1] There are approximately 1,200 Filipino nationals residing in Mexico. [2] In addition, genetic studies indicate that about a third of people sampled from Guerrero have Asian ancestry with genetic markers matching those of the populations of the Philippines
Amazing!the only first history of Filipinos in America that I have known of was Antonio Miranda-one of the 46th founders of the City of Los Angeles in California,but I never knew that there was so much more deeper history of Filipinos in America since late 1500.Thank you very much, I have learnt more from your video.
Thank you. Where I am from we are taught America is a continent and this country where we live is called EE.UU. I learned the term America to be used to call the country once I moved in. Thanks for the awesome info
Great video. I've always been proud of my Filipino heritage and was shocked when I first learned about the manilamen. I later learned about the Morro bay incident. What a crazy history. Love the channel, I'd love to get you on my podcast sometime!
Hi, thank you! I'm interested in your podcast too! Where can I find it? Salamat! :)
As far as I have understood po, the first documented Filipino migration to the US made complete sense to me.
Due to extreme limitations of sea travel during the early times, this is what made sense to me po.
When Magellan's galleons first circumnavigated the earth and at one point landed in the eastern islands of the Phil, (although Magellan was killed), as the giant ships exited our waters, some natives were both either taken by Spaniards as their servants and some took their chances as stowaway s, traveled with the galleons very distant from the Philippines.
They somehow got the chance to either escape or were freed to a strange land also close to the waters since that's where they landed.
It turned out to be the bayous of Louisiana, US of A.
And they partially thrived there, feeling at home with the waters close by and built up a small community.
That was documented in the 1520s po and has got to be the first ever for our race for obvious reasons po.
Thank you pare , this is so important
One of the lasting things Filipinos introduced to North/Central America is "tuba" (coconut toddy). I believe it is also called "tuba" in Mexico. Filipinos also introduced tuba in many of the Pacific islands (Micronesia & Polynesia) and is also called the same in many of these islands.
no.
Colima tuba origin in Philippines
Nakakalola ang mga info...it broaden my mind...salamat...proud 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Nice video I got some goosebumps on the latter part of the video. Mabuhay ang kasaysayan.
In Stockton California, there is a MANILA ROAD, and LITTLE MANILA. There is also a very tall building called FILIPINO PLAZA. Yes, FILIPINOS had been in US for a very long time.
Bruhh I'm from there!!!
History of FILIPINO’s thank you remind us fellow Filipinos good to know it.
Hey Kirby, did you realize you have a photo of my family in this piece? That large group of people were my great great grandma Elizabeth Madriaga Borabod and her daughters, including my great grandma Rosie.
That's wonderful Rhonda..
Hey Kirby, can you please make a video about the 1904 World's fair trade, involving our Filipino natives as part of human exhibition. I believe this was inhumane yet grandiose part of American history.
Nicely done! It would be even better if you can include a link to your source. Thanks for the research!
Hey Kirby here's some interesting facts and history for you if you never knew this. There was a Mexican governor in the state of Guerrero named Alejandro Gomez Maganda who governed Guerrero in the 1950s and he was of Filipino decent too. And Maganda means beautiful in Tagalog too.
Filipino Mexicans (Spanish: Mexicanos Filipinos) are Mexican citizens who are descendants of Filipino ancestry.[1] There are approximately 1,200 Filipino nationals residing in Mexico.[2] In addition, genetic studies indicate that about a third of people sampled from Guerrero have Asian ancestry with genetic markers matching those of the populations of the Philippines.[3]
The Filipinos introduced many cultural practices to Mexico, such as the method of making palm wine, called "tubâ",[11][12][13] the mantón de Manila,[14][15][16] the chamoy,[17] and possibly the guayabera (called filipina in Veracruz and the Yucatán Peninsula).[18] Distillation technology for the production of tequila and mezcal was also introduced by Filipino migrants in the late 16th century, via the adaptation of the stills used in the production of Philippine palm liquor (lambanog) which were introduced to Colima with tubâ.[19][20]
Filipino words also entered Mexican vernacular, such as the word for palapa (originally meaning "coconut palm leaf petiole" in Tagalog), which became applied to a type of thatching using coconut leaves that resembles the Filipino nipa hut.[4]
Various crops were also introduced from the Philippines, including coconuts,[21] the Ataulfo and Manilita mangoes,[22][23] abacá, rice, and bananas.
A genetic study in 2018 found that around a third of the population of Guerrero have 10% Filipino ancestry.[3]
Ramón Fabié y de Jesús (1785 - November 28, 1810) was a Philippines-born New Spanish mining engineering student who joined revolutionaries in the Mexican War of Independence.
Isidoro Montes de Oca (1789-1847) was a Mexican of Spanish descent born in the Philippines who was a revolutionary general who fought in the Mexican War of Independence between 1810 and 1821. He was among the commanders of the army of Vicente Guerrero and José María Morelos. And was a trusted man of Vicente Guerrero and was his sub-General.
Originating from the Rancho de La Alhaja, in the current municipality of La Unión. He attended many war actions under the command of Morelos and Guerrero. He was head of the escort of Generalissimo Morelos called the 50 pairs. The main battle action where he stood out was that of the Treasury of Tamo, in Michoacán on September 15, 1818, in which the opposing forces numbered four times greater, they were totally destroyed. On the death of Don José María Morelos, on December 22, 1815, few insurgents remain fighting the royalists. The majority were pardoned but Vicente Guerrero continued fighting in the mountains of the south, who in the hacienda of Tamo (of the State of Michoacán today), together with Don Isidro Montes de Oca and with few and poorly armed insurgents, inflicted a real defeat on the royalist José Gabriel de Armijo and they also got enough equipment to properly arm 1,800 soldiers of freedom who in the future will deserve the respect of Agustín de Iturbide.
He stood out for his courage in the siege of the Port of Acapulco in 1813, under the orders of General José María Morelos y Pavón. As well as in the Cuautla Site. He was present in the historical deed called Acatempan's embrace, between Iturbide and Vicente Guerrero. Near the end of the war he reached the rank of captain general. After the end of the Mexican war of independence, he obtained some positions in the government of the republic; standing out as senator of the State of Sonora. Later retiring of the public life and taking refuge in the town of Petatlán, Guerrero; where he dedicated himself to the administration of his property, as well as to the activities of cattle raising and agriculture. He spent his last days of life in that place, his remains are in the parish of Petatlán in whose town he died at the age of 58. At the death of Vicente Guerrero, Juan Álvarez was the political heir. Álvarez began to direct the followers of President Vicente Guerrero sacrificed in 1831. Other minor caciques and military leaders, including General Isidro Montes de Oca, joined around Álvarez.
According to Ricardo Pinzon, two Philippines-born soldiers - Francisco Mongoy and Isidoro Montes de Oca - were so distinguished in battle that they are regarded as folk heroes in Mexico. General Vicente Guerrero later became the first president of Mexico of African descent.[1]
Around the 1930s, the municipality La Unión Guerrero adopted its current name, La Unión de Isidoro Montes de Oca, in honor of the insurgent captain. His remains rest in the municipal pantheon of Petatlán, Guerrero.
The tuba drink is a traditional craft beverage that gives character to the state of Colima Mexico. However, this tropical “elixir” it's still unknown to many visitors. Tuba is a unique drink brought to Mexico from the Philippines by the Manila Galleon in the 16th century
Am happy that Filipinos are the largest in California. 👍🏻👍🏻
They deserve it. To be largest in California.

Lol! I laughed at 4:30 when he said the others learned how to sail long before Europeans learned how to sail outside of their little continent!
Of course sailing from island to island in the philippines was the only method of transportation that can reach far and trade goods with other countries as far as china, malaysia, indonesia, taiwan and even as far as japan. But its an overstated fact. We just dont know who went to sail first, far from the country of origin to another foreign country. Egyptians, old greece also did it and the sea people. Even the tribes who live in easter island did it too. Spaniards came in late, because before spain became a unified country there were a lot of wars and invasions, even thd muslim group called umayyad caliphate ruled over spain before they became a unified country. First people to arrive in spain are the phoenician, they arrived by boat from the middle east to settle down there and made it their home. So who is first to sail is not the europeans or anyone we know. Its a food for thought but we cant claim it who did it first. Theres no real records to show, only guesses and preconceived claims.
And yet no filipinos sailed across to America, they had to wait for the Spanish and Mexicans to take them there by force
Enjoyed your program...I think the writer Raymond Lala advertised he was the first Filipino to become an United States citizen..obviously long after the many peoples you mentioned.
+Jack Stanley thank you!
Viva Filipinas 🇵🇭 viva México 🇲🇽 ❤️💓
I'm Mexican and wife Filipino lol
We have too much in common.
Almost same looks, same surnames, almost same foods, almost same language and both Philippines and Mexico were both fucked by Spain.
God bless Philippines and Mexico! 🇵🇭🇲🇽
Louis Vírtudazo , you cool bro. You honorary Pinoy boy by the powers invested in me as pure Pinoy boy from Bataan son!
Viva from Mexico pampanga
Thank you! Wow! I never knew this though I love history and keep reading on our history because we were taught differently when I was in High School.
Awesomeness. Subscribed!

Thank you for you information that's why a lot of people in Acapulco look like Filipino even in Filipinas use naurhatl word the one use in Mexico, and thank to mention America word is from whole continent not only from USA greetings from Mexico
De nada 😊
The descendants of these early migrants mostly settled in the regions near the terminal ports of the Manila galleons. These include Acapulco, Barra de Navidad, and San Blas, Nayarit, as well as numerous smaller intermediate settlements along the way.
In Colima, Mexico, vendors sell the coconut-based tuba, a beverage originally brought to Mexico by sailors from the Philippines.
Mazcal Filipino
Notable Mexicans of Filipino descent
Ramón Fabié - Lieutenant Colonel commander of Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla
Luis Pinzón - Military commander of José María Morelos
Isidoro Montes de Oca - Mexican General and Lieutenant commander of Vicente Guerrero
Francisco Mongoy - Military commander of Vicente Guerrero
Romeo Tabuena - painter and printmaker

A friendly correction: The pensionados who came in the early 1900s were NOT the first Filipinos in the United States. The first Filipinos in the US had formed a permanent settlement in Louisiana in 1763 before it was admitted to the Union. Having said that, you can say that the first Filipinos technically were in the US in 1812 when Louisiana became part of the US. However, the first landing of Filipinos in North America was in Morro Bay, CA on Oct. 18, 1587, some 33 years before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock and 263 years before California was admitted to the Union. The Morro Bay Filipinos were sailors identified as “Yndios Luzones” (or Luzon Indians) who served in the Manila-Acapulco galleon trade on the galleon Nuestra Señora de Esperanza.
Therefore the first OFW's are seamen of the Americas. What about the first export product of the Philippines? Is it the ship they built under the Spanish rulers for their journey to the Americas?
Balut
This is just a guess but it's likely to be Sugarcane, and other native filipino products. I guess ube as well or Bananas.
IM A FILIPINO FROM OLONGAPO CITY ZAMBALES PHILIPPINES AND BASE HERE NOW IN HOMBURG GERMANY...

1587, Ayan, alam ko na. My grandfather came to California in 1929. My friend's father whom I had met in 1977 in CALIFORNIA, had fought for the US during WWI.
Great content!
I like the way of presentation, very interesting information 👍
Thank you 😊
Excellent history thanks
Thank you 😊
Awesome information , very interesting ☺️
Thank you 😊
Thank you Kirby for that informations..
Great to know this! Wow!
Salamat!
There was the Manila- Acapulco galleon trades which had Filipino sailors as part of the crew. Some of those guys never returned to the Philippines. Some went as far north as what is now California.
Remember that 1/3 of the U.S. used to be part of New Spain.
Large Filipino immigration didn't start until the U.S. occupation period.
And these Filipino sailors marrying native americans
Nice video my dude.
Quick question, it would be very interesting to learn about Filipinos prior to American occupation(influenso?). Both, under Spanish influence(occupation) and prior to that.
The first Asians to ever settle in the US were the Filipinos of Saint Malo, Louisiana
@love n sweet2008 didnt you listen the video said? The Filipinos came in the 1500s
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landing_of_the_first_Filipinos
First Filipinos to set foot on American Soil i think was way back in 1763 in Louisiana
I think this is what was called then as Manila Village in the mid 1800's. Some Manila men from whaling ships were recruited in the civil war also, described as men from Manila with swarthy complexion.

"They Came Before Columbus" Ivan Van Sertima
The first people from Modern day Philippines was 15000 plus yrs ago.
Wow! Mind boggling! I’d like to explore more on this subject matter. Can u please cite your sources?
Might not be the same, but it's close enough: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landing_of_the_first_Filipinos
And I'm pretty sure Wikipedia uncovers all of these topics too
You kinda look like Donaire
Hahaha.

@@KirbyAraullo Great how to be historian
Salute to Filipino Americans
Pwede po kayo gumawa video about sa mga Filipino heritage dyan sa america?
Wow fascinating!
Filipinos were here before there was a US because spain had ships going back and forth between the Philippines and mexico. those stilt houses in the bayou came from pinoy design
My great-grandfather fought for the US in the Philippines & that’s how he earned his citizenship. My grandfather fought in Korea & my father fought in Vietnam. My cousins fought in the Gulf War, Afghanistan & Iraq. My nieces & nephews served Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria & Yemen. So don’t tell me I’m not any less American than a European-American. The only TRUE Americans here are the Natives.
great video
Very good!
Proud to be Filipinos...
Galing mo Kirby 🏆👏👏👏
awesome
I ❤ your channel i learn so much thank you 😀
Salámat ♥️♥️♥️
I like you Angie 😊
I really enjoy your videos I learn so much. I then go back to do research . I have not found nothing you say wrong
Robert Maluka thank you!
wow... amazing....
Hey how do Filipino Americans get confused if they are Asian or not? The Philippines just hosted the Asian Games. The Philippines are one of the founding members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. The Philippines do not compete in the Pacific Games with other Pacific Islands nations. The Philippines do not join Pacific Islands Forum like other Pacific Islands countries. If they even spent 1 minute to look it up, they'd find out the Philippines is in Southeast Asia. It's not even partially located in the Pacific Islands region.
there were Filipino PIRATES IN THE 1600 NOT TO MENTION 1700 IN HAITI AND CUBA
Funny I never see this blog before I watched The God Culture,,and they told about it all thru by scriptures but then they pour it too,,,now is coming Out all of a sudden what is really the history of the Philippines, .. when it was start,, A lot more to learn then...ty for this another things to know about... keep it up....!!!
