  1. this behavior most probably existed even way back to the spanish times, rizal even represented it through pilosopo tasyo in his books as that man, common people deem as a lunatic despite being regarded as a genius or respected old man by the rare colleague he encounters. i think the only best solution at least we can do about this is to at least promise to ourselves to not contribute and perpetuate such attitudes in ourselves and our future children. this thinking needs to be erased from our society if possibly not at once, then at least gradually with each of the next generations

  2.  @Bodonism  in reality, the filipino genepool is 36% east asian (mostly chinese hokkien), 5% european spanish, 2% native american (probably mexican), 3% south asian, and 53% native austronesian southeast asian. filipinos are not polynesian. it is like telling a german that he looks like a swede.

  5. its funny cuz how we non koreans would think of it more like you are actually younger and korean age just makes you older

  6. lol why people get so annoyed by foreigner's interest in our code switching. hey at least they finding something really really interesting about us right enough that they point it out. c'mon whats so bad about it

  7.  @jon-unicorn-doxxer  its because in cebu, they mostly only speak cebuano and english. its only in filipino class at school where they are exposed with tagalog. even their history/social studies class is in english. many cebuanos arent familiar with terms like sibika or hekasi....
    29
  8. whatever spanish you heard isnt separate. any word resembling spanish that you heard is officially merged with tagalog creating what is known as filipino. the english words though are separate unless spelled out in the local orthography otherwise

  9. the whole laughing thing is what they do to force a smile in their minds despite their miserable lives there thats why she said that north koreans were supposedly generally happier than overworked south korean society because they partake the happiness by making sure to laugh and find something to be happy about all the time just as a defense mechanism to the world's problems

  10. they probably asked him beforehand if he was willing to disclose it
    25
  11. if u r in upper middle class family in philippines, what you describe is also true
    24
  12. this sometimes feels mildly creepy lol as a filipino hahaha
    24
  13. generally ok, at least we are not treated as bad as the chinese in indonesia and malaysia. though some filipinos still dont accept or are ignorant that we are not foreign in this country. also a japanese-filipino schoolmate says he is often mistaken as a chinese-filipino and he finds it hard to understand implicit japanese cultural norms when he is in japan. funny tho, sometimes people also mistake me for being a japanese or korean
    21
  14. i guess its good that the filipino population audience funds these kinds of videos by actively watching and commenting for asian boss to keep continuing on conducting

  15. i think its mainly her curly hair that gives it away. her face and complexion can pass her off as any typical filipino lady.

  16.  @jon-unicorn-doxxer  i dont know with them. im from qc, but yeah the local tv shows and teleseryes are in tagalog so they understand it enough in hearing but in practice, when they start speaking, they dont get as much practice in actually speaking since they are used to their own provincial languages as their casual language and english for formal/professional language. at least, thats what i understand from my cebuano friend. they also seem to have this idea or rumor implanted with them or heard from the people they grew up with there in cebu that manila is supposed to be this very sosyal rich snobby people place. they seem to usually have that sort of assumption prejudice. my cebuano friend says that hes not used to speaking straight tagalog continously when he first arrived in metro manila so he feels that he struggles with it, but I think they are alright with tagalog and are probably just overly self-conscious about some sort of slight accent and slight grammar mistakes they might make but i dont think its noticeable enough for them to be self-conscious about. he says when he first studied tagalog in school, he thought we speak so formally in manila like in textbooks, but you know in our country everyone is always casual from batanes to sulu. i personally cant even distinguish the supposed accent differences they complain so much that people supposedly make fun of them about. i think its probably because i grew up hearing these accents around metro manila too so i think its fairly normal. to them though, they feel singled out. perhaps, all this is a result of them being more isolated on their island that they have to get on a ship before they meet other fellow countrymen. it would be great in the future if our country built magnificent long bridges to connect the big major islands or even a highspeed railway to connect them. maybe then, the rumors they brewed up can more easily be dispelled. sadly, those big projects need multibillion funds to accomplish that our government and economy is not ready for yet. maybe in a few decades, we will see.

  17. its actually called a "prong" more accurately
    16
  18. in my country, they dont care that much too like thailand but just as the thais, theyll just joke about them like how they walk and hold hands in the street and stuff but not that they'd ever muster any such courage to go up to them to try and express any disapproval of it. i dont know if people in the west would actually just randomly do that to total strangers lol
    16
  19. Many filipinos do that normally. smiling and laughing a lot and saying kaya and that they can do it. might really just be a thing here for some of us but might also be a recent trend to just laugh and smile things away. people tend to add extra hahahas, lols, and emojis here to lighten the mood.

  20.  @roverclover3178  I think he is referring to Quiboloy. Full name: "Apollo Carreon Quiboloy", the crazy cult pastor who calls himself the owner of the universe and son of God that leads a cult called "Kingdom of Jesus Christ, The Name Above Every Name, Inc."
    14
  21. its not the people thats causing problems. its the PRC government who is land grabbing. taiwan is republic of china too and both taiwan and philippines dont hate each other.
    14
  22. as a southeast asian chinese myself, they feel like the clueless grouchy distant cousin still clinging to grandma or something lol. a mainlander tourist once asked us if we were chinese and we forgot the right chinese words of how to say overseas chinese so we ended up saying something like we were locals or something and they seemed so dumbfounded like what we said was something so impossible since we looked prominently chinese. they began comparing their arm to ours and said that we didn't have a different skin tone lol. (since locals of my country were a bit more brown skinned) felt really accidentally racist of them lol but they were pretty clueless anyways.

  23. @shadowkingd0m the philippine norm is to usually marry around age 30. the courting period with a gf or bf usually takes years, cuz we think any less is just rushing it
    13
  24.  @ikapuchino  i think there are certain poor adoption houses around metro manila or around the country where you can adopt a baby or sponsor their education from a poor family
    12
  25. lol dont know where u from but for me as someone from a neighboring country, that dude fully embodies that deep british-influenced chinese accent, typical of both singapore and hong kong.
    12
  26. every country where chinese immigrate to slowly form a small chinese subculture. the local chinese subculture can be compared like that of the relationship of britain and the old colonial british that settled america. both of which don't think of each other that often, usually they only contact each other because of leftover family. though generally they perceive each other differently from then on. i am chinese-filipino, our history here in my country as minority population spans more than a thousand years just like all other southern chinese communities in southeast asia like those in singapore, malaysia, indonesia, etc. our history here is kinda similar with how the jews are in europe decades ago. of course, mainlander dont care about us. especially most of our ancestors are cultures of southern chinese dialects so only people who care about us back in china are old family villages or relatives that still live in china. china has the world's largest population so most mainlanders grew up not knowing and caring about us since to them, we are the same as their neighbor's distant relative who they never met.
    12
  27. this is because "negro" and "negra" means "black" in spanish. this is why it has been a historically used term we use here in the philippines because at this point, it is already a filipino word of spanish origin.
    11
  28. leisiyox lol maybe you want to write in baybayin? you can try to teach yourself online how to write with it but the filipino abakada letrang romano system is already in use

  29. hindi na taglish magsalita ung reporter lol para maencourage ung mga interviewee magfilipino lang

  31.  @chocopie7890  countries like singapore are good place to work, study, or earn money but not for living or retiring. once u have lots of money, u live cheaply as noble elites in a poor "third world" country actually...

  32. yeah business cards are a serious part of your identity. It used to be done like that in China, it's why Japan follows it as well, but China lost that culture after the cultural revolution erased it all. I think Hong kong, Macau, Taiwan, South Korea, Vietnam still recognizes such practice.
    9
  33. bae BAE yeah korean is taking over the philippines hahaha. i sit beside koreans at school and they are good at english now enough that they even know the local language and slang. its kind of funny though that people here in ph call me korean even when i am not

  34. i dont really get these beauty contests. i mean im also filipino but hey whats the big deal about winning a beauty contest even if it is a global one. will our lives get better if one of us was supposedly praised to be the most beautiful representative out of those from other countries? winning beauty contests like that is just a publicity thing. thats the only thing we achieve and are awarded there. what sort of awareness of whatever problem do candidates ever reach to people in the world? do people seriously care when candidates just say oh i want world peace for the world. mass advert marketing campaigns are more effective in raising more awareness than any beauty contest there is.

  35. p0ta = great lovely day today isnt?

  36. @Legendary universe a big proportion of people in the philippines are much more comfortable speaking a mix of english with tagalog/filipino or their native regional language. it isnt necessarily that just because we're like kinda iffy or not as confident in speaking straight in a certain language that we'd be much comfortable with speaking just our local native language. i'd say realistically a lot of filipinos real native language is basically taglish or bislish or whatever at this point rather than just one language
    7
  37. i think he feels compulsed and is comfortably professional answering interview questions by leaning more on english
    7
  38. from Cantonese (咩, mē)
    7
  39. Kristina Robinson its actually just the spanish sounding parts that are actually formally part of the local filipino language of tagalog. the english bits that you hear arent actually part of the language, people just like to switch to using english when they couldnt remember the proper tagalog word or sometimes people just prefer using english especially when the interviewer kept going on in english.

  40.  @chileeeeee  what country are you from? do u have provable data that premarital sex is that rampant in ph? lol. i know some people do it hush hush here and that its an increasing trend to do such things but i assure you its not as rampant to say that its a majority that does sex before getting married

  41. to me she seemed like a typical middle aged woman. im not from japan but my mother is around 54 and she doesnt look like a granny but kinda like the woman in the video
    6
  42. @MB HK latin america? hahaha. that is dumbest thing i heard today. the only people who have roots in latin america are filipinos with mexican spanish blood and only 2% of the filipino gene pool has native american blood and only 5% of the blood has actual spanish blood. the philippines or the whole spanish east indies from philippines to micronesian countries were too far from the spanish empire to have a big meaningful part of the population absorb that much spaniards or latin americans. the majority of filipino demographics and genepool is 53% local austronesian southeast asian and 36% east asian blood (mostly assimilated hokkien chinese and cantonese and japanese minority from the past centuries). only 5% has spanish blood and 2% from native american (probably mexican) which mostly is in the elite upper class
    6
  43. it seems their language is tonal like chinese so it must be like burmese and might be part of the sino-tibetan language family which maybe it sounds close to tibetan
    6
  44. lol random dude says something somewhat smart. "Filipinos should be proud of him" lol he just saw that in the news
    6
  45. lol the random normie superior that first appears in ur mind isnt the usual superior that one would imagine in japan. its more like usually an older person with more experience than you just silently working with a serious face. it can be intimidating to walk by and leave passing by superiors like that.
    6
  46. those latinos and their frequent umbrella term "chino" are cringy especially when they make those faces to show slant eyes. im from southeast asia and of chinese descent. they are too cringe hahaha
    6
  47. tsinoys dont usually speak mandarin. their heritage language is hokkien. mandarin is only taught in tsinoy schools to help if ever people need to deal with chinese mainlanders
    6
  48.  @slukeo3868  lol if ur tsinoy, its not mandarin we use, although it is taught in school. we use hokkien/fukien. in philippine hokkien, you call younger sisters as "shobe" and older sisters as "atsi/achi", and older brother as "ahia/kohia", and younger brother as "shoti". even the filipino words "ate" and "kuya" actually etymologically come from "a-tsi" and "ko-hia" from historical colonial sangley filipinos
    6
  49. faulty system? that sounds like some sort of eurocentrism. im not from the US but we use some measurements and systems that americans use and we find it here more convenient lol. like the dating system, we use the same with the american one because thats how the structure of how we normally say the full date. it would be hard, weird, and too overly fanciful for us to use the other dating format that europeans seem to love so much.
    6
  50. they seem to have mostly filmed near smu, one of their big universities, hence the pro-lgbt views
    6
  51. sadly, i dont think you'd ever find a channel willing to do that for our country. the spaniards have influenced a whole lot about our country, enough that it basically forms like the majority of the present known history curriculum of the philippines, mainly because the prehispanic period is so scarcely known due to it being undocumented or any sort of past documents being destroyed by abusive spanish friars. those 333 years under the spanish empire though has been so long that theres not much big exciting events that happen that are talked about there besides perhaps the periodic regional revolts for whatever reason and drama at the time. the amount of spanish-ness of our country is a bit less than latin america but given how aggressive the spanish empire was at promoting their spanish culture, let's just name a few prominent things the spanish have shaped us into. religion, influences to languages, architecture, folk music and instruments, folk dance, old paintings, province names, latin script for the language, american trading ties, ...hmm what else... colonial mentality maybe hahaha
    6
  52. american colonial history used english for mass education of the populace and current modern education also uses english as language of instruction. also since we know english, there are scenarios where what we want to express can be conveyed shorter and easier if we use english terms or tagalog terms instead
    5
  53. simple, cuz its easier. there are terms easier to explain in english and terms easier in tagalog. american colonial english education and modern english education have already taught most filipinos english so we can make use of it as simple as if its all one language continuum with tagalog
    5
  54.  @ikapuchino  im not sure about specific ones but i remember from my time in my university that theres an organization called Gawad Kalinga but im not sure if they specifically do any adoptions or sponsorships but maybe if you call or contact them from their fb page or something they can refer you to a reliable one. ive known some people who instead of having their own child, adopted some poor baby, or some families who just have an agreement with some poor street children and their families or some poor family from the provinces that they can stay at their houses and sponsor their education. ive had a classmate before who was technically adopted. her other older brother seems to also be adopted since the brother seemed like a white foreign guy so mustve been a product of those secret sex industry stuff that foreigner americans or europeans left
    5
  55. here in the philippines. we also use the 12 hour format rather than the 24 hour format. years ago i would have also called it army time before a belgian i talked to wondered about it and told me that army time for them was like without the ":" like 1900, 2400, 0500 sort of thing
    5
  56.  @haruzanfuucha  what does what taiwan's past government did in the past in the mainland have to do with the mainland china's current actions against its neighbors. whichever party that rules mainland china or taiwan wouldnt determine whos doing the claims and actions against everyone in the south seas. if the roles were reversed and kmt was in mainland and taiwan had prc, the same statement will still apply except i wouldve been saying the kmt government of mainland

  57. "negra" is a spanish loanword into the filipino language that literally means "black"
    5
  58. they are filipinos too whether or not they are call center agents. most filipinos in business districts aren't even all call center agents even if you do commonly see them as one. if you really want a fair representation, it should be both the rich business districts, random streets of different cities within Manila, and maybe even the poorer districts. heck even the different provinces if you really want it fair.
    5
  59. lol this coming from someone named "Basketball For Life" hahaha. the main sport that people do love here is basketball and this is one people have stadiums and tv channels to watch for rather than any other sport but lol only basketball fans stick to their basketball philosophies which there you could see some stereotypic filipino basketball guys who do that but many like me dont care about that hahaha
    5
  60. disrespectful is defined differently in different cultures. they mentioned in the video about a chinese mainlander letting his kid pee on the side of the street. in some countries, a man peeing outside somewhere hidden is an ok thing. in Japan deep in the cities, of course, it would be unthinkable for them.
    5
  61. awhile ago here in manila, children outside in the streets sing christmas carols in front of homes and the nearby malls love to launch fireworks at night even though its not christmas or new years yet and awhile ago i also went to a nearby mall where the parking lot was made into a sort of a small carnival with a christmas outdoor animatronic show whatever thing. seems to be a new gimick they have this year here
    5
  62. Lance Arguelles its because we mesh the foreign language to our own as if the 2 languages are now one. this is why we can make verbs in filipino way but using the english root word.
    5
  63. we didnt take anything from malay. those words you may think that are from malay are just cognates rightly contained in the local filipino language. plus its not hindi, its only sanskrit. plus english words heard in normal conversations aren't officially in the language, only some are. also add nahuatl in that list as some also come from native mexican aztec words. chinese also more specifically hokkien and a little cantonese

  64. they will all die through the next generations anyway

  65. most countries' neighbors always hate each other because border friction is always bound to happen. usually its the non neighbors or the neighbor of the neighbor that is friends with a country because they are enemy of my enemy to the bordering country
    4
  66. lol haha even north korea and congo(kinshasa) has "democratic" in their name before People's republic yet everyone knows theyre far from the usual democracy people usually refer to
    4
  67. thats why filipino is in the call center industry, just like indians
    4
  68. it doesnt make any sense to disinclude filipinos with spanish last names. filipinos with spanish last names dont necessarily mean they have had any spanish admixture. governor general narciso claveria just ordered a colonial decree before to provide native filipinos without a family name to be provided with spanish family names from a catalog so the colonial government can keep consistent records. that or when they were baptized in the catholic church, the church gave them a christianized name if they did or did not have a family name before.
    4
  69. the interviewer is making an effort to speak purer tagalog while avoiding some spanish loanwords though she still adds in a bit so she is speaking filipino but the one being interviewed also dips into english so the interviewer eventually does too. normally, filipinos at least around metro manila will speak filipino(tagalog) which usually has frequent mixture of old colonial spanish loanwords in most every sentence and ever since american colonial times, filipinos also love to frequently codeswitch with english sentences and terms while speaking in filipino/tagalog. we basically colloquially call this combination of filipino(tagalog) and english as "taglish". Taglish is very common and is the normal casual informal language in many parts of the country especially at the capital in metro manila. also, it seems the one being interviewed is not used to speaking english all the time so he makes some mistakes in his english. this usually is just a sign that reveals his cultural upbringing or socioeconomic background since usually the upper middle to upper class are very proficient and natural at english while the more populous lower middle class masses usually prefer filipino(tagalog) or other local languages more while keeping english as a close second language since it is required in most areas of philippine society. this telling background makes sense for him since he is someone who is campaigning to help the lower classes which he probably more identifies with
    4
  70. lol yes, its not a exclusive japanese thing. just some silly western belief to just label everything that comes from japan as some sort of japanese method or even calling it an "art" just cuz its from japan. in different parts of asia like in my country, japan is no exotic than your next door neighbor or ur neighbor down the block. people gotta stop treating japanese like its such a special place
    4
  71. hey if she wins something or anything in the filipino name, any old common pinoy in the street will say something positive about it regardless if they know this person's foreign ancestry or any other detail about it at all

  72.  @newtype5005  @ChefCaffy no actually its because if you notice where the country of origin the maids usually come from. they're mostly from the philippines, indonesia, or myanmar, of which they all also have a maid culture. I wager the maid culture to also be present in other southeast asian countries. I'm from the philippines and it's normal among the upper middle and upper class to have a maid, u might even call it a status symbol here. the upper class has always recruited domestic workers from the lower classes (if female) to be maidservant-caretakers (katulong/kasambahay/yaya), or laundrywomen (labandera) and (if male) to be family drivers (drayber/tsuper), security guards (guwardiya/bantay), gardeners (hardinero), pool cleaners. its customary among the upper class to always have a maid and some upper middle class families too. my family has one and we used to have many more years ago when i was younger and my family was richer. we recruit them either through an agency or through networking as in someone we know like a past maid knew a friend or family from the provinces thats willing to work in the capital or city. what we call as yaya/katulong/kasambahay work most their whole lives living under the master's roof with all domestic housework responsibilities from cooking, cleaning, laundry, feeding pets, caring for children, sometimes even tutoring children, fetching children from school, most everything in the west one would think a mother would do, hence it does not make sense to me when someone mentions my "mother's cooking" since in my childhood it was never normal for my parents to cook. the maids always sleep in their own room, usually near the kitchen or laundry area. in my old house when my family was richer, they had their own little house with each room having 2 maids living in there. the kitchen in an upper class house also usually has another room connected to it where maids dine at instead of the master's table. this whole practice has spanned for centuries probably, since we have records in precolonial times of slaves/ indentured servants who were kind of doing the same thing. in modern times, we just exported these to hong kong and singapore or wherever overseas filipino workers find work at. thats why they are hush hush about it and a bit fewer. also, as someone who is ethnically a chinese filipino, i get how the people of hong kong and singapore got to adapting the culture and i know china also has. i myself have distant relatives in hong kong...

  73. asian names? bro do you even know what names do normal filipinos use. its gonna surprise you the names aren't gonna sound or fit in your classification of "asian names". most english names themselves have hebrew or generally foreign roots as a result of foreign influence or outright rule. what do you think filipinos use when theyve been ruled by europeans and americans for more than three centuries

  74. dont assume guys. already got triggered when he didnt say anything about colonialism but only expressed his sudden realization of our linguistic behavior.

  76. being hikikomori isnt actually too far from your usual stay at home computer person with the added some people still do work or go to school so still seems normal for people though besides that, just at home

  77. coolsunshinebro -the spanish last names came because 2 centuries ago spain declared a royal decree to sell and give out a catalog selection of spanish family names for native filipinos without a last name to have one for increased integration with spain and proper governmental records. -the "original Filipinos" that u mention as "almost extinct" is actually not true as the austronesian prehispanic native filipinos that the spanish colonizers first met are still very much alive and numerous as can be seen in the video with ur most average looking majority filipino looking like ur normal austronesian with just some people with little bits of chinese and spanish characteristics. at least if ur referring to australian aborigine/melanesian related peoples like the aeta negrito people who used to have come before the austronesian majority of the land then those are now a minority people since centuries ago even before spanish colonizers came but they are in no way becoming extinct lol. it is also a bit over exaggerated just as a side note that most filipinos have spanish blood. compared to the hispanic americas, there were considerably lesser spaniards who came to the philippines so only a few affected bits of the population mostly because most spaniards that were sent here or came here were washed out spaniards who just wanted a new prosperous life than their less than ideal lives before as can be seen in rizal's noli me tangere. -Sequence of arrivals in the philippines: Melanesian related aeta negrito>native austronesian filipino>malaysian/indonesian nobles/traders/pirates, chinese traders/pirates, japanese pirates/traders > Spanish conquistadors > british indian soldiers invade manila > american troops > philippine republic > influx of many koreans and some iranians

  78. SS acting polite to not hurt someone is also done in neighboring countries of japan albeit it gets toned down the farther the country is from japan and east asia in general. in my country in southeast asia, some do this and try to find a sentence phrasing to make it sound better although its not a common thing to do. only sometimes. i suppose in japan, its a common established behavior
    3
  79. lol if only you know how chinese and japanese elderly big wigs see and treat these things, you'd know if either side allowed a compromise to view such things, extra exaggerated propaganda from any side would be added more to subconsciously add more shame to the reputation of the other party so they'd be seen the conscientious ideological victor.

  80. filipino spaghetti feels very casual party food. thats why its served in fast food lol. anything served in fast food isnt gonna be quite seen as very good by anyone besides just being casual food

  81. Molly Dores officially speaking, the country doesnt do divorce due to respecting the catholic canon law but there are of course always other ways to separate. in filipino society, annulment is pretty much what filipinos popularly know to be able to separate and have always used it. in church terms, this is called the declaration of nullity. certain conditions need to apply first before legal marital separation can occur. if a person was not of the right mind of some sort of mental psychological problem before marrying, then one could be considered by the church that the marriage didnt really happen because one of the spouse's mental state is questioned. if the person got the mental condition after marriage though, then that is included in the promise of marriage that in sickness and in health you will go through with this person. of course, that doesn't mean you have to live with this crazed spouse. you can live separate ways as if not married but legally and canonically speaking, you are still married.
    3
  82. Molly Dores im not catholic but thats how life normally is here. people just resort to annulment or divorce in another country if they so wanted to. muslims though are allowed divorce in the circumstances of their religion. some non catholic churches too might allow marriages under their church to divorce but the catholic church does not consider that binding because of the view that sure canon law is only for the catholics but what the catholic church sees as part of divine law is for all other christians too. the inclined idea is that people have a pegged mindset to be serious about marriage and to resolve it together especially locked with children because they are chained with no choice of freely abandoning it. but of course certain scenarios that you describe are considered to justify declaring the nullity.

  83. 白の丸 lol we chinese-filipino are bad at chinese, we learn mandarin at school like the same level as i think grade school in china. we forget or dont know the right tones too. and some would just do hokkien than bother with mandarin which most are pretty clueless about too. we'd rather do english and filipino or whichever regional language they live in
    3
  84. doesnt make any sense that someone whos willing to work as a maid has a maid at her own home lol. having your own maid in the philippines is something the upper and upper middle class has... and you won't find any of them ever stooping to that work because they themselves are the ones who sometimes underpay these people...
    3
  85.  @sahayeda5220  yes, the practice in the philippines started out among the upper class and we just exported it to other countries where overseas filipino workers offer their services. growing up in an upper or upper middle class family in the philippines means you almost always have at least one maidservant-caretaker. all responsibilities that are attributed to a mother in the west is something that a maidservant does here for you if you grew up in an upper or upper middle class family...
    3
  86. this is a very old issue started ever since marcos's time. i dont think it will change any time soon since all the uncertainties, problems, and arguments about it are still there. this term is a very old precolonial noble class term which obviously highlights the elite. in some languages, it also sounds like similar words that i think meant toilet or something dirty. and the economic, cultural, societal cost of changing identity with a very established philippines, pilipinas, pinoy, filipinas, filipino term is quite high. only few support this, usually those who aim to wipe clean and forget all the recent centuries' history...

  87. i must note though for other filipinos out there, you dont have to be dark skinned nor any color skinned to be filipino.... contrary to what that girl said at 7:14

  88. how about Singlish from singapore. aw you cant understand them on the phone

  89. domestic helpers, maids, drivers, gardeners in Singapore and Hong kong just imported the maid culture from the Philippines and Indonesia because the upper class of Philippines and Indonesia have long always had maids, drivers, gardeners doing the domestic house work
    3
  90. its legit though... when i was younger, there was a guy maybe in his teen years that my tutor hired that works to supposedly sit and guard at the guardhouse and i remember him saying that hes only paid like around equivalent to 40-50 USD per like maybe a month or half the month. I live in the philippines
    3
  91. In the Philippines, virtually every upper class family and some upper middle class family have maids/helpers. we call them as "yaya". my family used to even have a separate little house in our property where they stay and these days every condo in the philippines is structured so that there is a room by the kitchen where maid/helpers stay...
    3
  92. yep its also normal and even customary in the philippines among the upper and upper middle class to hire maids, we just started exporting them there cuz they heard they could get paid more there through different currency conversion and higher minimum wage norms even if u guys dont think its that much. i say this because i myself have distant local relatives in hong kong since im from the chinese filipino community where its very very common to have a maid or even a family driver and if ur rich enough, a security guard or pool cleaner or gardener... or if ur one of the billionaire families or noble political families, personal bodyguards...

  93.  @eundongpark1672  most philippine languages have borrowed a lot of Spanish words centuries ago. if ur sure its an asian language and it sounds like it has a lot of spanish words (and ur not mistaking these to be portuguese), its most likely a language from the philippines which is more commonly filipino (tagalog), or sometimes bisaya (cebuano), or many other major regional philippine language
    3
  94.  @eundongpark1672  filipinos also love to codeswitch and mix in english while speaking local languages so u might also hear english mixed in when u overhear filipinos so if its tagalog mixed with english, we call it as "taglish" so to someone who is not normally familiar with taglish, it may sound like you're hearing an asian language with spanish and english phrases and expressions being mixed in
    3
  95. lol both have a history with big centrisms. its why americentrism and eurocentrism are observed and found more often than other centrisms. eurocentrism started first than americentrism and its probable that americentrism was inherited or developed in reaction to eurocentrism. of course i know that the imperial system was inherited from the british empire and thats probably not the only thing they inherited. it does not matter if you think its medieval or where or who it exactly came from. to be honest, we here find the day/month/year business weird and complicated on our end. the problem is when people show off their norms to others and dont respect other societies' norms even by just being close-minded to such trivial societal differences. you keep saying you dont have anything against them but it clearly looks like you are sounding off some sort of inferiority feelings lol as if you guys have some sort of low self-esteem identity problems that need to be arrogant to others just to feel better. the americans are of course self-centered in themselves. they always talk about their own country's problems as if other people on the internet are supposed to care or as if their issues are so vital that the world will stop functioning. they refuse to show other international units and constantly name places in their country like their states so familiarly and without (,USA) beside expecting everyone to understand instantly, just to serve their american viewers and neglect their international audiences. but in all that, you dont have to stoop to their level and add to their arrogance.

  96. Officially and in practice in more formal schools, most classes are taught in english except for subjects such as filipino, civics/geography/history/society (which is a combined class), and classes about good values which is also called guidance. Many teachers though can slip or just frequently teach in taglish but in more formal prestigious schools, many teachers teach in straight english or straight filipino though they can let loose some taglish too at times. If there's a foreign exchange student in class, the teachers in prestigious universities try as much as possible to speak in straight english though some teachers get carried away and go about in taglish. If you want to find taglish in writing, this is commonly done while chatting on social media sites like facebook or twitter or even in youtube comments here.
    3
  97. thats how we evolve our language lol. this is how we did it with spanish in before english lol. its why filipino languages have a lot of spanish loanwords because we just use them instead. now we do this too with english.
    3
  98. in the philippines, some kids get their teeth done at around preteen to teenage years so its all nice but i doubt anyone else ever bothers to notice what the state of people's teeth are. i'd think its something most wouldnt care about nor notice.
    3
  99. AldreRosario because people here in the philippines have been accustomed to using it as the formal language used in school and work especially when colonial filipinos used to revere the spanish language as the high class language in the spanish colonial times so when the americans took over as the next colonial masters, the high class popular language shifted from spanish to english especially when americans established a load of schools and boosted education programs in their time

  101. @Sheila Feng lol ...this coming from a 50 cent army spammer, this is why mainlander is not liked, tāi-dio̍k-á bô lé-sò 大陸仔無禮數. I do not even know who farms bananas here. It is our ancestors who traded and brought back western products and spanish silver back to china. even ur silly 人民币元 currency has historical roots to the spanish silver peso it was tied to 2 centuries ago when our ancestors brought that to your shores. even today, most of the top billionaires of southeast asia, are of hokkien and teochew origin, of which the richest non royal family on that list is a chinese-filipino. lol if you knew anything about dna tests and demographics, 36% of the mixed filipino gene pool is of east asian origin, mostly hokkien, japanese, and cantonese taishanese origin, and of which today, 1.8% of the philippine population is pure chinese of mostly hokkien 福建 background...

    2
  106. for someone thats not used to it, it could become frustratingly annoying to decipher. it would be like how one hears singlish on the phone. its really hard to decipher that too when not used to hearing it and you talk to them on the phone. it sounds like another language but not.

  107. hey, hey this is the real deal, gotta believe it lol

  112.  @andirizaladiputra7333  no no there is a bit of confusion here with linguistics. maharlika, yes is from sanskrit and has cognate term with merdeka in bahasa melayu and bahasa indonesia but you guys use it as an adjective to describe independence like a country's sovereignty. in philippine languages like tagalog, we use maharlika as a noun because it is a noble class title. maharlika represented the feudal middle class elite of ancient states like Tondo because it meant kinda like prosperous freeman. the adjective meaning of maharlika is noble and aristocratic. this is why there was an event before such as the conspiracy of the maharlikas in early spanish colonial times because the remaining maharlika nobles wanted to overthrow the spaniards but failed.
    2
  113.  @galaksikita5466  yes thats because maharlika was what was used to call and describe the upper class

  116. proud? lol i just mentioned that the supposed difference is that
    2
  117. dont worry, every country has its differences. some even have even more different cultures within it. though dont worry, i always hear from japanese that you guys are always surprised about different countries even those of your neighbors. dont focus too much on the differences since you can always remember though that we are still asian countries close neighbors with each other so there are still values and behaviors that are observed to be similar, whether fully or partially alike.
    2
  118. the chinese have an ingrained attitude to be defensive, be in denial of things, and to brush things off by accusing others of worse attitude to attempt to normalize the situation. not quite likable features but a prevalent normal behavior

  119. lol haha cuz its an onomatopoeia. its the sound when you slap something to dust it off
    2
  120. Raphanne those spanish words are no longer simply code switching to spanish. they are now included officially in the local language with its own local spelling. english though is still separate but there are a good amount that have become adopted and filipinized.
    2
  121. ​ @brynhard  filipinos like to speak English any time instinctively when they want to speak formally/professionally, since it is the formal prestige language, but since he is being interviewed in Filipino and the topic is about helping the poor lower classes, they speak mainly in Filipino(Tagalog) but he adds in English phrases because he is also the owner of his small company that he talks about so he tries to speak professionally.
    2
  122.  @mrsush1j1ma27  bahasa?? no way most tagalog words are native tagalog words. saying that its basically a mixture of bahasa indonesian and malaysian is like saying german is a mixture of swedish and danish... what so few malay words that were adopted long ago are so few...
    2
  123.  @eundongpark1672  also in the video, the interviewer is making an effort to speak mostly tagalog without the spanish loanwords which is why it sounds like theres only few spanish words but in normal life, almost every sentence always has a spanish loanword when u overhear filipinos speak

    2
  127. in my country, we find that funny too but our tv shows would never regularly daringly host that. might be too daring or extreme here but nonetheless funny. i believe some few shows also went for the japanese game show model here but it was lighter compared to some daring and perhaps more funnier acts and moving parts of japanese game shows
    2
  128. lol u might think that's funny and ridiculous and all from where you're coming from, but it could very well happen. it is still funny tho even if itll actually happen
    2
  129. invasion? lol they are using Filipino(Tagalog) and English. spanish loanwords have already been part of the local language, fused with Tagalog to make Filipino language from 333 years of spanish colonial times. English is used separately and sometimes being fused as part of informal speech since its been taught academically since american colonial period. all foreign loanwords are spelled and spoken in the filipino orthography as per the growth of the language. english does this too especially with its norman french latin influenced words.
    2
  130. the language spread because english speakers introduced those new inventions and items to the country. thats why

  131. the poor are desperate of course. dont think the well-off would find any need to do so

  132.  @kayreagan  pre-marital is more secretly rampant but still taboo in asian countries, at least in mine it is. probably why he wanted to highlight and specifically mention it, whereas gay sex would otherwise be rarer.
    2
  133. knowing the japanese attitude from all these asian boss videos i probably could guess already what they think about it
    2
  134. dont think to associate the chinese-filipinos who own big businesses here to be tied to china. theres a reason why its called chinese-filipino rather than simply chinese. chinese-filipino history spans centuries here and is tied as a component to philippine history. generations of chinese-filipino have been absorbed in the population for centuries enough that 30% of the whole filipino gene pool is of chinese descent. chinese-filipinos at least the newer generations stemming from the 20th century migrations despite seeming to still be a little culturally different consider themselves more filipino than chinese. there is a reason why they call those from china as "mainlanders" or PRC because today's china is more alien to them than the home they are in now.

  135. the issue of divorce in the philippines actually isnt new here. its been in argument for decades. the issue springs back and forth from time to time. cant even remember when it first started.

  138. there sure are a lot of corporate white collar polo wearing men in indian streets... i foresee in the future cities in my country, might look like this too lol
    2
  139. is it cuz u look more japanese than kayumanggi skinned pinoy? if u looked more darker pinoy, it would certainly be the opposite case as with other japanese filipinos ive encountered. in ph, the technique is always to use the local language with the usual accent and english codeswitching norms so u can dispel their thoughts that u might be foreign. you will notice it when they start to use pure english to you even when u know theyre not used to it when they think u might be foreign but since english is very normal in ph, you can quickly switch to tagalog or other local ph language and they will warm up to you fast. i myself am chinese filipino and look particularly chinese so when i stay quiet, people do it many times. sadly historically, it is the case for the historical japanese filipino community in ph as what you described that the war brought a heavy blow to the historical japanese filipino community, but i think you guys are too held back by fear of discrimination and are not confident enough to grab a hold of your japanese filipino identity in ph, since many opt to run away back to japan, whereas chinese filipino and even now, new generation of korean filipinos are finding success in ph, while japanese filipino is still rare and ambiguous...

  140. the chinese communities of southeast asia are like jews throughout history. the mainlanders have a dirty image though because of those dirty tourists
    2
  141. im from southeast asia of chinese descent. many centuries already that chinese have been here usually to be colonial middlemen and rich merchants. jews were like this in europe too and no one liked them because they were the rich minority. for chinese in southeast asia, they are somewhat seen like this too in different countries in southeast asia. some countries do it worse like holding riots and massacres against them

  143. lol where r u from to be surprised by this... premarital in asian countries is more socially widespread in being taboo and looked down upon than the rare outright gay sex
    2
  144. @TK B it doesnt always become an enclave. In singapore, malaysia and indonesia, some places had enclaves but in other places like my country in philippines and others like thailand and indonesia, the diaspora is spread out into the populace and only in colonial times which had cultural enclaves such as the first and oldest chinatown in the world in manila but chinese-filipino history is more characterized with centuries of assimilation and sporadic replenishment of it from events in china that spur repeated influx of migration. Here usually, it takes only one generation in the least to the 3rd or 5th generation (in extreme cases) at most for chinese filipinos to naturally be absorbed and be untraceably be mixed in the populace. currently, 36% of the genepool has chinese admixture where most of whom don't realize that they do or only vaguely know since this ancestry was centuries ago in the 1800s or further. then only 1.8% are pure chinese which were replenished immigrants from 1900s. I believe in singapore its around 3/4s the population are historical chinese immigrants while malaysia has around 25%. I think these countries have a higher rate of might i say "purity" from i guess enclaves that have sucessfully developed and propagated though it is sad that some parts of their history involve racial riots and massacres because of this as if they were jews. here not as much of that. only like once or twice centuries back in colonial times when enclaves were institutionally established.

  145. it is both. many people in the video are speaking in both formal Filipino/Tagalog and mixed in with informal Taglish or formal English codeswitching

  146.  @part-timedevil  I think the problem came up because normally they ship the garbage and recyclable stuff to China but China recently banned it all so it went to Philippines and Malaysia, but don't worry Duterte is just joking when he said he'd declare war. He's that kind of old grumpy man people elected to act tough and say all kinds of controversial things because the popular common people on the streets would agree with him rather than any prim and proper old politician, unbeknownst to the world that people outside of the country would not understand his humor. In that video where Duterte said that, beside him his fellow man laughed, but on the other side, the lady beside him was former president Gloria who was silently thinking how the world would comprehend what he just said.

  158. now that i think of it, in my asian country we never do swear in front of people, we just swear in our minds or when we're alone because of american influence getting passed down to us but it'd be really awkward to mention them in front of people unless you were mad or some drunkard. my cousins sometimes have days where they ask around if I swear like gauging if I was a person that swears. seemed weird to me when it became normal for me to be alright with it online or privately without anyone around

  166. @ Lexyvil bruh, we use English, Spanish, Tagalog for numbers all interchangeably. its based on preference and context. the higher class people prefer english numbers, but then the commoner on the street or the older generations would use spanish numbers. this applies to both age and time. Tagalog numbers tend to be long and convoluted for age and time so their usually only used for counting sometimes, but its also based on person's preference

  167. that thing about being ostracized by children to not want to play with you happened to me too lol just cuz i happened to ask them what their age was in full english as a 4 or 5 year old kid in a jollibee playground. for some reason, they didnt want to play with me even though im just a simple tsinoy kid that time. i think that was more of a social class divide problem tho

  197.  @indira6147  the light skin beauty standard mentality is a carry over too from precolonial times, if you've seen the illustrations we have of precolonial binukot sheltered princess daughters and precolonial nobility in the boxer codex, the skin tone that is featured is also light skin, especially for women. the spanish and american colonial times just further reinforced that light skin mentality because now then, the upper ruling classes were certainly as pale white or dusky light toned as spaniards, and then later the white american beauty standards. the beauty standard just kept on toning lighter and lighter throughout history, tho these days its mostly a superficial beauty preference than a racist social requirement
    1
  198.  @indira6147  yeah usually the lighter skin toned austronesians are often from around the highland ethnic groups like igorot groups in the cordillera mountains of Luzon. many others tho were mixed mestizo descendants from spanish colonial times, usually mostly from hokkien southern chinese or sometimes cantonese southern chinese or japanese partial ancestry, then there's a sparse few who have partial spanish descent or some upper class families have purer spanish descent. or also the rare few with native mexican admixture with their spanish descent. then also, a rare few with south indian descent. then from recent century, there's a rare few with varied partial white european american descent or jewish descent. In normal everyday living in ph tho, you will usually find on the streets and in public usually half or more native lowland austronesian filipinos, then half or a third of mixed mestizo ancestry from spanish colonial times who do not think of themselves any different from the native filipinos. then, maybe a quarter or third that are of chinese filipino background. then, maybe there's the rare 1 or 2 korean filipinos, iranian filipinos, indian filipinos, or japanese filipinos, or children of american or european or australian expats and maybe some 1/8 may also be fil-am or fil-canadian that has either lived in or grew up from US or canada.

  199.  @sacramento-5046  most native filipinos are native austronesian malayo-polynesian filipinos. not all filipinos are of this stock but most are. Filipino is a nationality, not an ethnicity. The pacific islanders themselves, whether polynesian or micronesian are descended from ancestors of these native malaysian-polynesian filipinos, not the other way round. Some filipinos do have at least partial spanish descent, at least 5% of the average filipino genepool does, but that's still small and most you'll meet likely do not have spanish descent. usually people who have legitimate at least partial or more spanish descent are from the upper class families. I had a classmate and few others who even look like they really do, but they are more low-key, they're the type not to brag about it unlike other filipinos who don't have it will try to do

  200.  @sacramento-5046  like i said, national geographic did a genographic project before and did this for different countries. those were the results for the average filipino genepool with 53% for southeast asian, 36% for east asian, 5% southern european, 3% south asian, 2% native american. Southeast asian obviously represents the native austronesian filipinos, the east asian represents the chinese filipinos (mostly hokkien and a few cantonese), mixed mestizo de sangley filipino descendants, and a few japanese filipinos, southern european represents those with at least partial or some spanish descent such as mestizo de español filipino descendants, south asian represents those with south indian descent, and native american represents those with native mexican descent which most likely also from the mestizo de español americano mestizo filipino groups

  201. the people in the video speak in tagalog and english. the spanish that you hear are all part of tagalog now with its own localized spelling and pronunciation. tagalog or even other local philippine languages frequently code switch with english. this is how we filipinos evolve our language. the same was done with spanish before hence you hear them incorporated already.

  212. theres this widespread social problem all the time here in the philippines like sure people are like the most satisfied kind of people when surveyed about their life from 1 to 10 as compared to other peoples from other countries wouldve responded. people here in the philippines are like gonna go yeah yeah its a full 10 or 7, I'm alright with my life but hey theres a reason why every other country out there wouldnt be so optimistic in life and dont exactly give all 10s. its because people in other countries perpetually want their lives to be better and better so theyre never satisfied and so this drives them to keep dreaming to improve their country meanwhile in the philippines, sure everybody's so happy and content but it's like a lazy attitude to perpetuate as there won't be as much effort to keep improving and it seems like we're just improving just so we catch up in the bare minimum threshold against other countries just so we dont seem obsolete. kumbaga nagtratrabaho lang para di mapag-iwanan pero like bahala na ok na buhay. like in the big business management sectors in the country here in the philippines, this attitude is a widely known pitfall / joke that people want to avoid because its such an inherent filipino thing that we do.
    1
  213. its code-switching. people here are so comfortable with doing it that they've tended to now have it hard speaking the native language purely. many decades later, if those words people keep using will eventually be absorbed into the local language. 400 years ago, the same was done with spanish. the local language now contains a load of it in a localized version

  218.  @life_is_a_myth  indonesia's colonial history is actually complicated since its such a big place. many places in indonesia were colonized first by portuguese then the dutch came over and took them out to establish the dutch east indies. the british also took the portuguese out to set up their rule in malaysia. some islands in indonesia around the maluku islands also used to be former portuguese that got attacked by spaniards from the philippines but soon the dutch came and strengthened their rule. this is why indonesian languages like bahasa indonesia both have a lot of portuguese and dutch loanwords

  219.  @miked884  its no longer spanish. it used to be spanish but ever since local spanish vocabulary was filipinized using filipino orthography, meaning, and pronunciation which were officially included in filipino dictionaries, tagalog and many other regional dialects have transformed previous local creoles into official language. in tagalog's case, that is called "Filipino". for example, words like basta, siguro, and many others have a different meaning and sometimes spelling in the filipino language rather than in standard spanish overseen by the real academia española

  228. because the positive note that people cling and hope here is that by being chained to the system. some broken families have decided to be forced by life issues and situations to straighten out and fix the marriage rather than abandon it. of course it doesnt happen all the time but it is one idea people cling to here.

  229.  @민애림-s3y  of course, ph and indonesia arent the only countries with maids, but its fairly normal in the upper middle and upper class families of these countries to have maids, especially that their wages are considerably cheaper than the expected salary of maids and caretakers in east asian countries where its more expensive

  234. thing is what a lot of people from western countries dont get here is that culture around asia dont focus the marriage on sexual intimacy with your partner. the focus is the fact of companionship that at the end of the day, going to a prostitute is just someone trying to freely let in their sexual pleasures which perhaps they wouldnt otherwise sufficiently would want to ask or demand their partners to do. in other asian countries of course, it would just be straight taboo and unacceptable outright but japan's religious history is just shinto and buddhist and not much others.

  239. lol not every household does regular sex unlike western cultures. the japanese are not a special isolate case. the west just hears more about japan cuz of its global influence these days. many different times in life where sex is not available at home even in a culture that regularly does sex. the japanese at this point are just a bit more lax with it since their societal and religious history has made it a common scenario enough for some to just lean on accepting it
    1
  240. that with a sex focused perspective as an expectation that is. in my country here around asia and other surrounding countries, marriage focuses a lot on family cohesion and solidarity. sex isnt a priority. mostly after a couple establishes a family along with extended family, its just some rare naughty thing that people rarely get into if it pops into mind and if they do, they do it very secretly. our schools even think twice of including or not including the word sex under the lower most basic needs in the maslow's hierarchy of needs lol since its not so much of an accepted normal thing.

  242.  @brynhard  the native and the old spanish words are all Filipino(Tagalog), except the English words being used. Filipino is modern standardized Tagalog of the capital. Filipino is also the casual informal language of the common people, while English is our formal professional prestige language in government, commerce, and academe. In modern times, we mostly just casually mix together English in our Filipino(Tagalog), which we informally call as "Taglish", but the English terms are not part of the Filipino dictionary ...yet. lol With regard to the difference of "Tagalog" and "Filipino", there is not much difference. when we refer to the language called, "Filipino", it usually just refers to Tagalog, specifically based on the Modern Tagalog dialect of Metro Manila (the capital) that has many colonial era Spanish loanwords that are now spelled in Filipino orthography since they were borrowed centuries ago when Spanish was the formal prestige language although there are purer older tagalog terms used before, though sometimes they are too long or long forgotten or just old or not accurate enough to describe a modern concept that colonial era spanish or modern english already has a simple word for which is why we use those loanwords or codeswitch to english these days. The concept of calling Modern Tagalog as Filipino is like how other countries for example, we say "Chinese" or "Modern Standard Chinese" which in reality usually just refers to Mandarin of Northern China, especially the Beijing dialect, when we say "Italian", we usually refer to the Standard Italian, which is in reality based on Florentine Tuscan (the Tuscan dialect of Florence in the Tuscany region of Italy), or when we say "Spanish", we actually refer to the Standard Spanish that is based on Castillian of Castille in Spain, when we say "German", we're referring to the Standard High German, which is based on Thuringian/East Franconian (East Central German dialects of Thuringia/East Franconia in German state of Saxony), or when we say French, we refer to the Standard French, based on the Parisian French dialect used in Paris (the French capital), or even with British English that is based on the Midlands English dialect of England. Even American English is mostly based on the English that was used around the American East Coast in the New England area before it became widespread as the defacto standard across the country there.

  250.  @mrsush1j1ma27  among the few japanese loanwords, usually the ones i only hear used frequent enough are dyak en poy, kaban, katol, dahan dahan, tansan. kampay these days is substituted for english cheers or the native term "tagay" but tagay used to only mean to down a small shot glass though beer advertisements these days are slowly advertising to use tagay instead of kampay or cheers. some people dont know though that kampay is also now an official filipino word from japanese kanpai. some even mistake it to come from chinese hokkien but the comparable word kanpoe is pronounced differently
    1
  251. @armed sword the spanish and english loanwords are the most recent ones but many centuries ago, there were also some few hokkien chinese loanwords and very few select japanese terms, and also many very very old indianized terms from sanskrit through old mixed hindu-buddhist beliefs syncretized with old native animist beliefs borrowed from indonesia who borrowed it from india

  254.  @-EchoesIntoEternity-  its an ingrained culture. singapore just adopted this maid culture from the country of origin of where the original maid came from. in this case for example, its normal for the upper class or upper middle class of the philippines to have maidservant-caretakers. we call them as yaya/katulong/kasambahay. sometimes it does lead some of our upper class to be a bit elitist... but for example, my childhood itself has always had a maid who's cooked our daily meals, cleaned the house, and did the laundry every day. some even cared or tutored me as a child... all roles of which in the west would be attributed to the mother.

  258. people are so shaken about this but its just the same process as spanish had on tagalog. its not surprising the spanish words just got filipinized and turned into what is known as "filipino" the same way. since philippine independence, proper formal spanish in the country has all but disappeared when it was so popular in the 19th century except for zamboanga and a little in cavite in the form of chavacano but spanish with its proper grammar and spelling form is pretty gone and absorbed into the local languages using the local grammar base. this is kinda like how english itself absorbed many norman french words but still retain itself with its germanic grammar base roots. in the same way, in this sense, i do not think that english will kill our identity and kick out our language. we will just filipinize the spelling and use our own grammar base especially for new words that are not present in the language like new technologies. this is not alarming because we already do this process. taglish is not english slowly taking over tagalog but it is tagalog adopting english words. for example, the english word 'computer' is actually spelled 'kompyuter' in filipino. also as can be seen in verbs, in taglish, the phrase "magdrive nga tayo" drive is not used in the english sense but merely adopted in the filipino verb form. if drive ever got its own official filipinized spelling, it would just become 'drayb" just like "Jeep" has its own filipinized spelling of "Dyip" and driver has become "drayber." TLDR: Contrary to what it may seem like, English is not eating/absorbing/taking over or replacing Filipino but Filipinos are eating/absorbing/adopting English into their language base.

  262.  @johnmelescoto7337  yes, those who come to metro manila, either from cebu, cdo, davao, dumaguete, bohol, western leyte, butuan, they usually all are alright with tagalog, but if you ask them, many of them feel self-conscious and think maybe theyre getting it wrong even though they are alright with it and we would not notice any mistakes. they are just often self-conscious so some would use english more, because according to some, they would die if they spoke only tagalog all day. The ones from Mindanao like cdo, davao, butuan or western leyte tho are more accepting of tagalog as something more normal. In cebu tho, they usually use cebuano bisaya more everyday.

  311. people would now think of this to increasingly support resisting english but what would you do? go back to using a tagalog purist form? what sort of purist tagalog word would you then invent for words like electricity or computer that does not involve spanish or any loanwords? if you tried to explain these new technological concepts using only pure tagalog words, the sentences would become very long and that is unneedingly cumbersome and impractical.

  312. "no proficiency" hahaha where did you get that idea from? the commoner filipino on the streets may not do it or struggle a bit but any educated filipino may speak pure english or pure filipino if they want to since its required in school subjects

  317. the fact that those two at the start said that they just saw two transgenders on that day shows that there are truly many transgenders there because there are so many that you frequently see one or two in a day whereas in most all other countries you never even see one any day

  320. lol its a bit of hit and miss with the philippines, genetic surveys like from national geographic show that the philippines isnt exactly entirely mixed and entirely pure as beerpong9000 would base off of observation of people walking around in the streets here. according to national geographic's genographic reference populations, the philippine genepool is 53% native austronesian malay filipino (a majority, yes), but 36% of the genepool has east asian admixture from throughout the centuries of chinese migration and a little bit of japanese too and these days a little bit of korean too, the spanish admixture is indeed overrepresented with only 5% southern european admixture, 2% native american admixture which is probably from mexicans from the spanish empire centuries ago, and 3% south asian admixture probably from precolonial indian influence or former british raj soldier descendants who invaded at one point some centuries back.

  324. here in maritime southeast asia, theres a history of chinese families rising in prominence as the rich wealthy landowning or merchant class. sometimes theres a bit of tension to how each sees each other here but in my country, the philippines, its not a big thing and increasingly dissipating. might be worse the tensions in indonesia and malaysia though since they have riots and movements there.

  325. hey 300 usd is already a good low price in my country. u could find a much lower one too. i guess for south korea, it's as low as you can get. i think for the same size or even a tiny bit bigger room with a space for a tiny kitchen counter and a tiny closet sized toilet room you can get about 100 usd a month

  327.  @XuerLi  mestizo filipinos are usually lighter skinned due to both or either chinese and/or spanish heritage. there were darker brownish skinned guys in the video too which unmixed native filipinos could look like

  328. the thing with stress relievers is just like food variety. everyone has different options especially these days to entertain themselves. saying prostitution is necessary is like saying beer is a necessary option to pick for every one's meal. point is people have many different options on the platter but the platter could be withdrawn too but since some have already tasted and crave for such tastes, they try to find it again if taken away. in a culture where such an option was never presented and thus, someone never at the very least normally tastes it, it is not unheard of that this person does not end up looking for alcoholic beverages or prostitution.
