Mikey Bustos!! One of the early viral Filipino RUclipsrs! Thanks for sharing his story. You guys are growing so fast as a channel and I’m loving it! Growing up in Missouri with a small Filipino Community, I sometimes felt alone with my experiences and feelings. But this channel helps me and other Filipinos realize we aren’t alone. Everybody jump on the boat! Tara na!
My 16 year old son is half Filipino and the reason he identified as white was because of the other Filipino kids hey grew up with bullied him for not speaking Tagalog and saying to him he’s not one of them. He used to cry everyday I picked him up from school. Now he’s found a balance and has embraced both cultures.
Surfing RUclips videos, came across this. My two Fil-Am boys, ages 4 and 7, as soon as Mikey came on, came over to avidly watch, and learn, about his story of wanting to be white. They were totally glued to the screen.
You guys are making me cry 😭 …I left when I was a teenager and lived in different countries, now my children all were born and raised here in Cali. It’s so funny watching my children try so hard to act Filipino and speak Tagalog, they never felt to be like a different race but instead they just carried their Filipino-ness everywhere they go. Remember these kids have never been to the Philippines but they will fight to be one.
Love to see your generation boosting the Filipino culture all over the world! Shine Pilipinas. Kaya natin to... cheers to the milineals and the future of our country.
It feels so good to know that our new generation acknowledged it to themselves that being a Filipino no matter where you were born.,your hearts will always speaks to you how lucky and privileged you are as a Filipino…keep it in mind keep it in your heart.as I worked abroad for almost 40 yrs I could tell the difference between other nationalities.We are the lights that God wanted us to brighten the whole world so keep spreading the good in your hearts.
I love TheFilipinoStory and thoroughly enjoyed hearing Mikey‘s journey towards appreciating, and embracing his Filipino identity. These types of videos make me even prouder, knowing that there are others like yourselves who use their talents to showcase the Filipino culture. Awesome job, guys! Mabuhay kayo and mabuhay ang Pilipinas!
We really enjoyed this episode!! You guys are right, the camera loves Mikey! He’s so charismatic! And now we are fans of you too!☺️Thank you for sharing your story with the world🙌
Were your environment is what you carry in you, so growing up in Canada you developed the culture in you, no matter your not Canadian blood. I grew to learn Stateside culture bc raised as a military dependent, Dad in the Air Force. Then he got stationed on Guam raised very military minded. Later my Dad got ill & was medically discharged from the AF & moved out of the base & lived down Rte 15 in the backroad of the Base 26mins down the Village of Mangilao, Guam & lived their for (35yrs), retired at GovGuam & relocated to the USA since 2012 lived in several state & landed at Sacramento, Calif in 2022 till now. Easy to adapt at both places, learned my culture on Guam/Chamorro & being military dependent in states 🇬🇺🗽🇺🇸 …
Thank you Mikey for reconnecting and loving your heritage. Thank you to both of you the creator of The Filipino story for your awesome and briliiant concept of spreading what a Filipino is and meant to be.
O MY GOSH...I LOVE MB, TOO & thx so much for ur channel...ur animation is superb...that can help make a little kid understand at an early age about who we are as Filipinos!...hope❤ &🙏 that ur videos can get viewed to every Filipino in the planet...salamat ng marami for doing this. Keep it up...and God bless!👏👏👏🙏❤ continue the journey👣 bless ur hearts!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
it is awesome to know that the findings of my research paper about the Biracial Filipino YoyTubers (2022) (which Mikey Bustos were one among my research subjects) matched in the narrative of Mikey in this video!
I was born in Canada and know more about Canadian history and north Americans than Philippines. I HAD THE EXACT SAME EXPERIENCE.!!!!...I can totally relate thank you for your video
New subscriber here 😊 I’m discovering the country (my country) that saw me born and the country that I had to leave as a child; discovering the culture that makes my heart beat 🍀 Looking forward to be there soon.
I just subscribed to this channel, so much interest in me sparked towards the Philippines just like how we used to be educated about Ph 🇵🇭 in those schooltimes ...
Wow, another good piece of content you guys have. I think it's Filipino thinking that it's good if their skin is white, especially when you enter showbiz. They are forced to change their skin color because they can't get a job, especially in the film world. Yes, I have also watched Mikey Bustos do vlogs when he was still in Canada, and he was not famous at the time, but now he is a famous content creator already. I enjoy watching your blogs, guys, because they are different from other content and are centered on being Filipino. I also enjoy watching the animated series, and this animated series is very well done. Good job, guys. Keep it up.
I respect that. Doon sa mga mixed blood na ayaw kilalanin nà Filipino, feel free. Parents dont force your children.Let them be. Kaya naman namin na itindig ang pagkaFilipino
I remember last year, on June 13th, while I was walking along the aisle to start to fall in line to board the plane, I saw Mikey Bustos buying coffee; I started anxious lol. In my mind, should I approach him or not? So I took a deep breath and the courage to approach him and asked him if it was okay to have a selfie with him. He okayed, and then the rest was history. He is one of the nicest😊.
It was an honour to be featured in one of his videos omg kuya Mikey forever. He really taught me to stay connected to my roots from a young age while I was also struggling with my identity in the west 😭✨
Like Bustos, I grew up isolated from my people, in mostly American schools and communities. I have no shame in being Filipino. But I grew up estranged from my culture, outside of my immediate family. So I can understand his perspective.

Filipinos in the Phillipines are very mean many times to mixed children. My children have experienced this. They have been told many times they aren't real Filipinos because they are half white. This is sad as both Filipino and White people are beautiful. ❤
I dont understand why grown up fil-am children raised up by Filipino parents thats speaks tagalog even denies that they cannot speak or understand even a bit of filipino.They still need someone to make them realize how cool and rich our culture is before they come out filipino.hayz
So technically He is a pureblooded Filipino but the citizenships applied in Canada is a Filipino-Canadian citizen residing in Canada. Or does he had a kind of homesickness and sense of belonging. Since his both Parents are migrants to worked in Canada
Even if your skin is white..you are still a pilipino..your color is brown..not white..being brown is not below standard..it is how you present yourself.😂... .
Thank you for featuring me! Mabuhay! ✨️🇵🇭
Thank you Mikey for letting us be a part of sharing your story! And congratulations on 6 million subscribers on Ants Canada! 🐜🇵🇭❤️
