south korea, japan, china, taiwan have population decline because of cost of living, cost of raising children, academic and social pressure, lack of free time, lack of simpler entry level jobs for young people, depression and suicide, etc. meanwhile, north korea has population decline because starvation, malnutrition, cost of living, family abuse, depression, unreported covid cases, political repression, etc.

@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.

@Jonathan F lol do you even know philippines? it doesnt need that you are elderly, LGBT, or "untouchable" to be a squatter(a term we use for poor hobos in Manila and the rest of ph) in the philippines. these guys do have a choice but quite few and they'd rather do this because there's more money to earn from a day of doing this rather than say selling candy or cigarettes or driving jeepneys or tricycles or scavenging trash for junkshops, plus they already live near the rails and have that trolley thing they made. we do not shun them from society. they can eventually rise to middle class if they get enough money for kids who finish college. its just a good percentage of the crowded ass dense city of Manila has quite visible poverty like this. to be honest, Manila is legit the no. 1 city in terms of population density, more so than mumbai in india. the government does provide aid, its just not enough for the big ass poor population that migrate to the cities. education is publicly offered. their family just didnt get enough money to get them to finish when they were young, plus public schools just arent that great quality to get them to good colleges if they do finish. the only reason businesses might not hire them is because they look homeless, not because of their sexual orientation or age. you are hired whether you are gay or not here, ok. lol. they can pull themselves out of poverty. its just a very very slow grind for this big of a populace to get out of it. philippines just a few decades ago had this as normal. today, the middle class and the economy is growing.

@FlyingSpaghettiMonsterFollower you know why that doesnt make sense anymore? because people were so set on the idea that official language just has to be one, when in reality, it could be a lot and a few. today, as decades have passed in modern times, there have now been countries where there are soooo many official languages, i mean South Africa has 11 official languages, India has 22 legally recognized "major languages" of each state there, and so on. the world and many countries are big enough to be more than just the one official language. the reason why it was mostly one official language before was mostly cuz european countries and those they colonized in the americas and japan and korea are geographically small enough for it to make sense to just be mostly one, especially yugoslavia balkanized into many different countries with their own languages, but still european countries are soooo small compared to those across asia and africa. india, indonesia, and numerous other countries can operate even with lots of official languages, even if the europeans thought it wouldnt work

btw, hokkien isnt a dialect. that's an old misconception. its a language under the chinese language family. the real dialects under hokkien are for example, philippine hokkien, singaporean hokkien, taiwanese hokkien, penang hokkien, medan hokkien, quanzhou hokkien, amoy hokkien, zhangzhou hokkien, etc. these are all dialects of hokkien, but hokkien itself is a language. it's not dialect to any other language. it's only direct ancestor it can be dialect to many centuries ago is Proto-Coastal Min, descended from Proto-Min, which is a descendant of Old Chinese.

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

@SlimjimMK11 yes, i myself am not of the usual ethnic groups that people imagine when they think of "Filipino" but born and raised Filipino, but throughout the repeated years, it is a frequently observed behavior of many other filipinos to react to situations with just either "Paniccc", blaming, complain, run to another country cuz huh pilipinz bad, complain some more to everyone in the world pilipinz bad cuz huh have someone else help us cuz huh helping each right thing huh then no no you help, me run away, then next guy, no i run away too + insult own house like an entitled guest in their own house. point out this and that bad to them, "moar panicccc", more blame/complain/run-away. in a way, certain migrant ethnic groups in the philippines are able to be successful without these behaviors, but then reveal that to the usual "native" ethnic groups and their reaction "moar panicccc", "protect self, copy foreign racist mindset", "complain and insist have other succesful removed cuz haha blame you you you corrupt privileged", "gov always corrupt dont'yu know", then "aaaah powerless", "instant-doom", "give up", "run away", "country bad, moar complain". haaaay these kinds of filipinos, might as well good riddance. and then, when they come back to something good and fixed by someone else, "oh cri, iz a miracle, we (i) have hope".... eh no wonder, other minority ethnic groups in the country leads in various sectors instead.

the northern and southern han chinese do have differences but not in the way you described. the southern han aren't just cantonese. there's many groups within southern han like hokkien, hakka, teochew, hokchew, hinghwa, cantonese, taishanese, hunanese, shanghainese, wenzhounese, hokchia, etc etc. these southern groups all had a history before of migrating over and displacing and/or assimilating previous ancient populations in southern china that preceded them before there. in china, those are called baiyue, but realistically, it was the ancient ancestors of modern southeast asian groups today. the northern han were the han that stayed in northern china and spread northeast and northwestwards and had other northern migratory peoples come over and assimilate into their population like mongols, khitans, manchu/jurchen, etc. etc. northern han mostly speak mandarin and jin now.

in PR China, the de facto formal mainstream lingua franca is "Standard Chinese" (Mandarin) and the other regional languages are mainstream spoken casual languages, except in Hong Kong and maybe Macau.
In the Philippines, the formal mainstream lingua franca is Philippine English, especially in written matters, while "Filipino" (Tagalog) is the de jure national language, but is the de facto mainstream spoken casual language at least across the capital and native Tagalog lands, while the other regional languages are mainstream spoken casual languages as well, sometimes written.
For the sake of democratic national unity, the Philippines is careful to not fully impose Tagalog on provinces that it is not native to, so English is best as a neutral lingua franca that is clearly foreign and has little danger to replace the de facto mainstream spoken casual languages across the other regions of the Philippines. For PR China, well... it's an authoritarian republic... that has imposed Mandarin over other regional languages, especially those of its own language family, and the mainstream public in mainland china doesn't know the other regional sinitic languages can be written differently than Mandarin, so many think they cannot write them besides speak them. In the Philippines, the latin script can easily write down most if not all languages in the Philippines, whether of the Philippine language family or not.

@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...

@sonnystaton all of the below are "Filipino", i'll list them up like this, just to be brief, but each of these listed are themselves umbrella terms containing many many ethnicities each speaking many of their own different languages. A lot of them are also mixed with each other or have different religions, meaning it is valid to say one is not just of one ethnic group, especially many can speak each other's languages. All of them have also had history living in the philippines for several centuries, with only American Filipinos (not the Fil-Ams) only having a century under their belt, and the only the Korean Filipinos and Iranian Filipinos only having been in the philippines in the past recent decades under one generation:
- Negrito groups - e.g. Aeta, Ati, Agta, Arta, Alta, Batak, Mamanwa, etc. etc.
- Highland/Older Austronesian groups - e.g. Ifugao, Kankanay, Kalinga, Ibaloi, Mangyan, Tagbanwa, Subanon, Manobo, Mansaka, T'boli, B'laan, Tasaday, etc. etc.
- Lowland Austronesian groups - e.g. Tagalog, Cebuano Bisaya, Ilocano, Bicolano, Ilonggo, Waray, Kapampangan, Pangasinense, Tausug, Maguindanaon, Maranao, etc. etc.
- Chinese Filipinos - Hokkien, Cantonese, Taishanese, etc.
- Spanish Filipinos - Andalusian, Catalan, Castillian, Basque, Americano, etc.
- Japanese Filipinos - Ryukyuan, Kyushu, Kansai, Kanto, etc.
- Mestizo de Español (Spanish Mestizo)
- Mestizo de Sangley (Chinese Mestizo)
- Tornatrás (further mix of the above mestizos)
- Indian Filipinos - Tamil, Punjabi, Sindhi, Marathi, Indian Mestizos, etc.
- Sangirese
- Jewish Filipinos
- American Filipinos
- Filipinos with Arab ancestry
- Korean Filipinos
- Iranian Filipinos
All of the above are "Filipino" as mandated by law, and as per the original spirit of the Philippine Revolution that instituted it, so long as they have the citizenship nationality and/or pretty much born and/or raised in the Philippines, mixed or not. there are no "half-filipinos", only full filipinos who may or may not have dual citizenship and/or a person of another nationality but has ancestors that is or were filipino. "Filipino" is not necessarily a person of ethnic pure or majority lowland austronesian ethnicity, but it is a known stereotype, just like the stereotype of "American" that some immediately think first a "White American" of British/European-descent. there exists pure or majority-descended ethnic chinese or ethnic spanish families in the philippines who have lived there for generations or even centuries. there's even more a lot who are basically mixed ethnic chinese and/or ethnic spaniards mixed with usually the lowland austronesian groups and these families have been like this for centuries enough that they do not keep track of their ancestries anymore and are fully assimilated and just say they are just "Filipino" as well. the national hero and other historical figures in philippine history are all great examples of these. these people are all equally filipino, just like any kababayan. some of them have lived their whole lives in the philippines without ever stepping outside.

@sonnystaton ah, u're american, must be if going on all about these ...race race... in ur country...
no, we do not have boxes to click any so called "Race:" nor "Ethnicity:", nor is it on our gov ids nor birth certificates nor school forms nor other government forms. sometimes, there were times, the census tried to copy the US system of doing that, but no, whatever similar system during centuries ago, that was done away on the founding of the country, but then the US came and sometimes attempt to try to do it or talk like the system is like that as well in ph, then it goes back to no, then mostly no, then sometimes, some try to do it, then mostly no. today, only a few private companies do it as an extra interesting thing about a person, but a lot of such companies don't quite get how it specifically works. some of our neighbor countries do that, but there's not a really a required point to do that in ph, cuz like why do we need to do that? lol
then, regarding what you're on about in your country about how u guys classify the fil-ams as "Filipino" ethnicity. no, that is not their ethnicity. that's just a convenient umbrella name ur country put up they took from the nationality to not deal with the real ethnicities they really come from or are mixed with... and it does not really matter to me what "support" you're going on about. if u guys there want to keep having such a system or whatever system for urselves, it does not concern us in the other side of the globe... if u're a sociology graduate specialized in asian societies, i'd actually be wondering why you don't know why this is so... but i guess the europeans might be right that the US education system is not so great these days... If u want an explanation of the real ethnicities in the philippines, well ill give u another comment to explain at least some bits about it...

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...

puerto rico, philippines, cuba, virgin islands, and guam, northern marianas, fs of micronesia, and palau were all US colonies after the US took them from spain. philippines, puerto rico, and cuba even have the same flag layout with only the colors switched around in solidarity with the coordinated revolutions our countries made before. philippines and cuba got the independence while fs of micronesia, palau, northern marianas got independence with free association whereas guam, virgin islands and puerto rico were left to rot as colonies under the name "US territories". american samoa is also like this and hawaii is just the one that became a state.

@sonnystaton If you can't accept it, I won't need your projections. I've already given you the definitions from the dictionary and even from google. If you want to keep deluding yourself with the racist american system of conflating nationality and ethnicity together and having these arbitrary US-based umbrella "Race" terms, it's just you guys there in the states be peddling that. There's no need to peddle your confusions to people of other countries. The examples you cited, English, French, German, these are all from Europe, the birthplace of ethnic-based nationalities, the germanic-speaking countries of which often had segregationist colonial policies before. If you took a political science class in college before, you'd know there are territorial countries and there are actually a lot of those out in the world. such kind of countries do not have a nationality = only ethnicity situation. Also, French and German also contain multiple ethnicities. There are Bretons, Corsicans, Algerians, numerous other ethnic groups from former French-colonial Africa and etc. The French themselves are a mixture of romanized celtic gauls with germanic franks and a lot more mixed into that identity throughout the centuries. They all have every right to call themselves "French" as their nationality, but not necessarily their ethnicity. For Germans, there are also Saxons, Bavarians, etc. and many other assimilated slavic groups & etc. The English themselves used to be a mix of ethnic Angles and Saxons, some Anglicized Celtic Britons, and Anglicized Normans, and even now, they have Pakistanis, Nepalis, Indians, etc. Many of such can call themselves British, despite being ethnically indian or whatever.
It looks like you did not understand the point of what me still being Filipino despite not having the common ancestral heritage of the majority in whatever ancestry test. This point itself is contrary to what you're saying, so it is actually an unassailable point for me and not for you lol, that Filipino is not an ethnicity, but simply a nationality one can be.
your understanding of the possibility of a New Yorker being of a separate ethnicity to a Southerner is asinine. A New Yorker could very well be an Italian American and speak the New York American English dialect, while a US Southerner could very well be a Black African American and speak a Southern American English dialect or vice versa. That is a common case where they are separate ethnicities, regardless of speech. How you do not understand this and have to be explained by someone from the other side of the planet is asinine.
A lot of ethnic groups already distinguished themselves before the birth of many nations. Such nations for example, the Philippines, the United States, Canada, etc. etc. If you think the Philippines only has one ethnicity because the nation is somehow so old that everyone is the same, my goodness, you do not know anything about Philippine history. The country itself in its present form was a result of your country's doing. It defacto is only 75yrs old as of this writing. Most ethnicities within the Philippines have distinguished themselves separately before the country's founding and de facto independence.
There is no point discussing things with one who projects like what you're doing. Better read up on your own ironic statements, cuz you yourself are not clear on the difference of nationality and ethnicity.

@sonnystaton It seems you are very confused. A nationality is indeed meant to be diverse just like most other countries in most parts of Earth. you go on about how there are many different populations coming and admixing with each other and that they can be uniquely identified just like most other parts of the world. Yes, What about it? That is what I just said about what "Filipino" is, so what is supposed to be not consistent to what i mentioned before?
I have not mentioned any dialects, unless you are also uninformed about outdated info on languages in the Philippines. Your comparison about New Yorkers and Southerners does not really say anything contrary to what I told you. The New Yorker could very well be of a different ethnicity than the Southerner despite speaking whatever, since "American" in the US is also a nationality and not an ethnicity. I can say the same thing whichever part of the Philippines and whichever language one uses. The ability to speak a language does not say if one is Filipino or not. I can also speak some American English dialects but that doesn't mean I'm American, so what does this have to do with how Filipino being an ethnicity?
As for DNA tests, that is a vague topic that geneticists struggle with themselves, but the DNA testing companies try to make it easier to understand for their customers using some generalizations. If you ask me to take a DNA test to test if i am "Filipino", then I assure you, it will not go as you expected because my DNA is for sure going to be different from the stereotypical Filipino, but regardless of which, I am Filipino nevertheless on all regards. It is something I am born with, regardless of ethnicity. Also, the Cebuano language and the Hiligaynon language are not dialects of each other. they have common origins, just as English and Frisian does, but it does not make them dialect to any of each other. Also, Cebuano and Ilonggo people are indeed separate ethnic groups, just as they are separate ethnic groups to Tagalogs, Ilocanos, Pangasinenses, etc. Ethnic groups are social groups of common cultural tradition and the above groups have different cultural traditions they've maintained for centuries. They still have common traditions, but it does not mean they are not of a different ethnic group. Contrary to American perceptions, stark cultural or national differences are not only what makes different ethnic groups.
"Philippines" is a country and "Filipino" its nationality. It is not currently an ethnicity, unless you are referring to the original Filipinos, during the Spanish Colonial times, which were the philippine-born spaniards born and/or raised in the Philippines, before the Philippine Revolution upturned that era and declared "Filipino" to act as the nationality for everyone. Ever since the American colonial era, when they swiped that independence under them, it was always Americans who conflated "Filipino" with both nationality and ethnicity, of which you are still doing now and accusing me of conflation when you are caught red-handed doing it.
The Philippines does not have the same system as China and their use of one English word for their nationality and major ethnicity. Trying to generalize us with another country is itself ridiculous. Also, your statement of "Not all Chinese are Han, but all Han are Chinese." is not true at all, at least the 2nd phrase. Not all "Ethnic Han" are "Chinese Nationals", but "Ethnic Han" is synonymous to "Ethnic Chinese". Just ask a Chinese Singaporean if he is a Chinese National, and he will definitely say No, he is not (Singapore & China does not have dual citizenship), but indeed a Chinese Singaporean has Ethnic Chinese background. The same thing can be said for Chinese Filipinos. They are not Chinese Nationals. Many have never even been to China and there do exist such kind of people who have never left the Philippines where they were born and died their whole lives.
Also, "Race" is a ridiculous outdated concept Americans cling too much on. This is a concept formed from Blumenbach's outdated teachings that Americans kept expounding upon. There is no "Asian Race", unless you're referring to Haplogroup O, which does not even cover all of the Asian continent.
If you speak of shared attributes with Filipino American communities, do note there are also Filipino Americans who are technically Ethnic Chinese or Ethnic Spaniards or have both at the same time, & etc. yet they still identify as "Filipino" in the US. They could very well check some other box and you guys wouldn't see a difference. Why does it even matter in your country, when in the Philippines, people have no problem without such classifications?
These terms, "American", "Canadian", "Mexican", "Brazilian", "Indonesian", "Malaysian", and even "Chinese", "Korean", "Japanese", "Thai", etc. are all Nationalities, but the latter 4 words have history of also at the same time being used to refer to a specific ethnicity. This is a confusion with languages like English tho that conflate ethnicity and nationality, due to the past ethnic-based revolutions in Europe before, which is why some countries there have histories of population exchanges all because of their perceived ethnic groups. It does not mean that every country in the world tho works like this, that a Nationality = the ethnicity of everyone there. The behavior of diasporas are not only to specific ethnic groups, they can also come together due to common nationality or even other generalizations or other reasons. Thinking that a congregation of a certain group immediately means they are of only one ethnicity is a very simplistic view of things. Though, if Fil-Ams do that often enough for generations there in the US, they may make their own ethnic group in your country, but it won't back in my country. If that indeed happens, I'd be wondering as well if groups of goth kids or truckers or mormons do sunday gatherings and festivals in the US if they will also become their own ethnicity in your eyes. lol If you join these sunday gatherings and festivals, does it make you "ethnic Filipino" too? If a Filipino American does not join these sunday gatherings or festivals, does that make them Not "ethnic Filipino"? lol
you accuse me of conflation, but you are the one further conflating the Filipino nationality as every Filipino's ethnicity. It seems more like you are just projecting

@paul snor for thailand, the hokkien chinese speakers live in the south there near the border with malaysia, emanating out of penang island and nearby areas, where the penang dialect is a descendant of zhangzhou dialect of hokkien chinese language. the ethnic chinese of thailand living around bangkok area are mostly teochew speakers. in teochew, it is spoken almost the same as well because teochew is sister language to hokkien. both are of the southern min branch. hokkien speakers coming from southern fujian spread to taiwan, philippines, vietnam, cambodia, malaysia, singapore, indonesia, southern thailand, myanmar while teochew speakers from southeastern guangdong also historically spread to vietnam, cambodia, thailand, malaysia, singapore, indonesia. generations later, the ethnic chinese of thailand, cambodia, vietnam, philippines, indonesia, east timor usually assimilated and also speak the mainstream national and official languages in those countries, so people adopted the products and things they brought. the british, dutch, portuguese, spanish, french colonizers simply got their product as well that way from those colonies in southeast asia from the ethnic chinese migrants living around those countries because they are usually working as traders and merchants doing wholesale trade. centuries ago, the usual chinese merchant trader was usually the zhangzhou hokkien, quanzhou hokkien, teochew, and cantonese/taishanese trader, and sometimes hakka, but cantonese and hakka are usually craftsmens and chefs, but those coming from fujian have a proclivity for retail and commerce. i myself am descendant of such family in philippines. we still do trade, but now online lol.

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...

@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...

it is an Indonesian thing, specifically a colonial Dutch thing in Indonesia before. In the Philippines, we also have surnames spelled in Spanish spelling ever since Spanish colonial times, and later in 20th century, there are also American English-style spellings, like that surname "李", in Spanish spelling was "Dy", then when Americans came, it became spelled as "Dee" or "Lee", then after independence, China started making everyone use Mandarin Pinyin spellings, so chinese schools taught people to spell it as "Li"

there's so many wrong in this video
1:57 the chinese character for Canton (廣東) did change with Guangzhou (广州)
0:54 if u call Taishanese as "Toisan", then why call Hokkien and Teochew as "Southern Min", and Hokchew as "Northern Min" and Hokchew in reality is even Eastern Min
0:33 they're not variations of a single language nor are they "dialects". they're many different languages under one linguistic family. dialects are for example, Beijing Mandarin, Taiwan Mandarin, Nanjing Mandarin, Sichuanese, etc.
Also, the pronunciation of the Mandarin Pinyin-spelled surnames in this video are all mispronounced especially the ones with letter G, B, J, Y, ZH

@hchen2513 what you say is what people always have said even before, something along the lines of, "that's hard cuz we're poor. easy for u cuz u privileged", which doesn't really change anything besides act as an excuse for what is the current reality one still has to go through regardless. hard or not, the reality is the reality. these supposed "privileged" at some point had predecessors that went through the struggle and got to their position through it.
if you assume someone that thinks this mindset immediately "comes from a very privileged point of view.", perhaps, u just have not met one who accepts this reality, despite it stacked up against him. everyone goes through it, privileged or not, regardless of the hardship and drama. if u want to change it, u inevitably have to go through the struggle regardless of anything. life is not meant to be fair in the first place.
there's a good amount already that went through the arduous process despite being "dirt poor with mouths to feed" before. there's always a choice, but sadly it is limited to each person's capability and mindset to proactively unlock or at least seek those doors of opportunity.
there are certain existing demographic of families in the philippines where despite they started out "dirt poor with mouths to feed", many are now securer and even very privileged that one may imagine. how did they do it? the family parents or grandparents or great grandparents went through the struggle and hardship of pioneering those businesses and industries, which their mindset early on or eventually focused on that path, rather than just continually work work work as an underling employee for the rest of their lives. who eventually benefited from the stopping that mindset? of course, their future.

@himanshusingh5214 religion is a personal matter that helps motivate individuals even in dire cases, but don't worry my country is not a theocracy, it is secular too just like many countries. contrary to the ideas of different peoples, christianity has its own rationality to the point, there is even a whole formal study on it called christian theology, but i dont think id wanna sidetrack and delve into explaining the christian logic from the topic at hand. As for nationalism, don't worry I have my own sense of nationalism and I also don't like other people in my country who may have tendencies to run away from problems or inferiority complexes. As for local products, I think it needs more than just patronage as a support, it needs to improve itself, whether or both quantity and quality and idk if they can improve maybe via learning from other countries if it applies to their situation. local industries need to be guided right and nurtured well, rather than to be left underdeveloped as people run away to better pastures than fix their own house. it's a bit ironic that i believe this even if my ancestors were not originally "native" or living as long as the other peoples of my country.

Ketchup / Catsup is ultimately from Hokkien Chinese, specifically the Zhangzhou/Chiangchiu dialect, "膎汁" (kê-chiap / kê-tsiap) /ke¹³⁻²² t͡ɕiap̚³²/, it literally means "pickled fish juice/sauce". Malay, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Javanese, Sundanese etc. all simply borrowed the word from Hokkien Chinese traders who also lived and traded across southeast asia, which they still do live there today. i am a descendant of such and my parents still speak Hokkien, but of the sister Quanzhou/Chuanchiu dialect, living in the philippines.

@emanemz2790 in the philippines, we're taught more about what happened in the philippines, of course. its around generally the same kind of stuff that johnny was saying in the video, but then cuba, puerto rico, guam, and the other micronesian countries are also just briefly mentioned. the only thing we're taught about cuba is that the national hero, Jose Rizal, once went to cuba to be some sort of volunteer doctor there cuz of the war. theres a good chance tho that the revolutionary movements in the philippines, cuba, puerto rico all coordinated with each other since the flag designs are generally similar with mostly the colors just switching positions. i think the catalan flag these days also tries to copy the same sort of idea with the masonic triangle and stars.

@Quixina that's the thing. the east asian countries supposedly have such high education systems over much of its population yet when u meet someone from there, u quickly understand that a lot of them live in a bubble and they only generally know some stuff but not other details that were left out from their system that they mustve deemed below them. in east and southeast asia, thats about the only thing taiwan knows about the philippines is that its it's neighbor and perhaps a few poor migrant workers people there have met from ph, otherwise, they dont know much tbh. they're too focused on china, japan, US to know much more about their very next door neighbors lol. also, latin american nations also have limited knowledge about ph besides just about shared spanish colonial era history. do u know our demographics? i know as much compared to mexico, our mestizo pops are historically the opposite makeup. in the philippines, we historically had a lot of chinese mestizos instead of spanish mestizos and even today, there are many chinese filipinos, of which most are of hokkien descent, same as most taiwanese. I can say the same things taiwanese say that Stephen Young mentioned there above. we are ethnic Han Chinese, some of us do know how to speak Chinese (Hokkien and/or Mandarin or even Cantonese), eat Chinese food, raised in the Chinese Filipino culture and Chinese Filipino education system, which mind you, is also regarded as a strict upper achiever kind of education system within the philippines. You call that not Chinese ??? Yes, I can choose to call that "not Chinese" or "Chinese Filipino" and that is the truth of it. we even have a few spanish loanwords in our hokkien chinese like pa-la from Spanish paga, or ka-pé from Spanish café, or go-ma-thng for bubblegum from Spanish goma + the hokkien for candy, or go-ma-ue for rubber shoes. your usual pleb taiwanese, dont know these things and many dont know we exist. chinese mainlanders from china included.

@The_Art_of_AI_888 there's no fooling here. it just sounds like you arent familiar with the realities of overseas chinese communities. thats why we call mainlanders as mainlanders. we may be ethnically han, but most are citizens of their countries born and raised there several generations over. many of whom are only partial to half to majority to pure blood ethnic chinese. and many dont even speak any chinese language at all or only a few bits of it as a fourth or third or second language. only a few have it as a native first language. and im talking about southern chinese languages like hokkien, cantonese, teochew, hakka, hokchew, hinghua, taishanese, not mandarin. mandarin even more back of the line. you can fool yourself and believe whatever you want, but you can never change the truth, the fact, and the reality of who people are, where they were raised, their languages, and their ethnic makeup they were born with. pure ethnic chinese are still a minority within my country's overseas chinese community and that's a fact. as for me, i have never lived in china nor have chinese citizenship, whether PRC or ROC and that is true too of my parents and one of my grandparents, and i am majority if not pure ethnic han, born and raised in my country, as do my peers and their parents and even all their grandparents and some even their great grandparents. some even up to their great great great grandparents and that's not a joke. our national hero himself has such background

@satohime dont worry in southeast asia, most languages in the other asean countries also have diverse mix of loanwords as well because southeast asia is ancient crossroads of sea trade in between east asia and india to arab world to europe and africa. filipinos are just proud of showing all the diverse loanwords, but some of the diversity is because malay loanwords from malay also had sanskrit, arab, tamil, persian, old javanese loanwords they got from trading with india, persia, arabs, and portuguese. they passed those to tagalog and other languages in the philippines when malay was borrowed in. similarly spanish loanwords brought in aztec nahuatl loanwords they got from mexico and taino loanwords from carribean as well. the hokkien chinese loanwords are also cuz of the hokkien traders also in taiwan to philippines to singapore and malaysia because they were also trading merchants part of the trade routes. japanese traders in medieval times, especially okinawan traders sometimes visited northern luzon and manila to trade, so hokkien chinese and native filipinos also introduced japanese to spaniards before, so everybody can trade together.

@Diyel then that will just be another conlang with very little to no native speakers besides second language speakers learning it just for that cause. esperanto in europe didnt even succeed at being mainstream anywhere, besides a few enthusiast fans of its lofty goals. also if you mean by "two largest ethno-linguistic demographic in the country." that would just be tagalog and cebuano. trying to lump together all the speakers of the visayan branch will always be ambiguous cuz in the first place when u study it more, not all of the descendant languages of the visayan grouping are even in the visayas, such as tausug, butuanon, surigaonon, etc, and if there's so much focus on the visayan branch being some sort of monolithic ethnicity just cuz of the speaker's languages' ancestries, mind you the visayan branch, the bikol branch, and tagalog are all sister branches of central philippine branch as well. if "Bisaya" is supposed to be one ethnolinguistic group covering all "visayan" languages, why isnt central philippine also one ethnolinguistic group?

guam, northern marianas, puerto rico, cuba, and the philippines were all american colonies stolen from the spanish colonial empire. only that the philippines and cuba gained independence but guam, northern marianas, and puerto rico remained colonies. they are still american colonies albeit with some different terms used. the idea that guam has american stores, malls, roads, better gdp, living standards, and everything also applied to the philippines decades ago. guam and northern marianas used to be administrated as part of the spanish east indies administrated from manila. guam's popular support to be a US state is also very reminiscent of decades ago what philippines felt about the US. same words as well with US supposedly saving the place from japanese occupation. only reason why guam and northern marianas is not its own countries just like the philippines is because they are small islands with small gdps and they turned the place into a US military strategic base just like the philippines was. philippines would suffered the same fate as guam and northern marianas and puerto rico had there been no popular revolutionary movement beforehand that the US quenched and nationalist politicians going for independence missions to the US.

@ariapinandita9240 Oh come on... there's so much bs from what you're saying lol. Irrawaddy is even so far away from where champa was. champa was never in yunnan and only right next to cambodia in today's south central vietnam. they did not go to borneo, they came from borneo, just like the many lowland philippine austronesian groups. if some went to borneo later on, it's only a few, just like the few that went to hainan island and many other places. and vietnamese are not originally chinese, they're austroasiatic and only some vietnamese are descendants of chinese migrants that assimilated to vietnamese kinh culture, just like the chinese migrants that assimilated to life in the philippines, malaysia, indonesia, thailand, myanmar, cambodia, laos, timor, etc.

@zilalibayan6030 no, or at least usually not taiwanese (but they do speak or have the same heritage language, i.e. hokkien). i live in the philippines and most of those "Chinese" investors/business people in the philippines are actually Filipinos as well, just that they are ethnically Chinese... which is why they are respected because those are actually Filipinos as well that start up companies, climb ph corporate ladders and lead their own filipino companies and provide other filipinos with jobs. just look for the list of top billionaires in the philippines. the richest filipinos are mostly of ethnic chinese descent, with a few old blood elite spanish descent. these chinese did not come from today's communist-founded china (PRC), but from the china before that (ROC or Qing or even Ming). english is ambiguous on the word "chinese". it includes both ethnicity and nationality definitions. many of the ethnic chinese filipinos in the philippines have no loyalty to today's communist-founded china. a lot of them have lived for generations in the philippines with little to no ties to the current political entity in china. some have never even set foot in china. and then, of course, there are the few expat ethnic chinese singaporeans, malaysians, indonesians, thai, taiwanese, and mainland chinese...

@sexaul usually the asian countries that use and are taught British English formally are former British colonies, so usually countries like India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, Hong Kong, and due to proximity, countries like Iran, Thailand, Indonesia, Macau, and somewhat at least for written material like textbooks for China, North Korea, Cambodia, Vietnam as well, but those nearer to US sphere of influence since WW2 and former US colonies extending from the Pacific like Philippines to countries across Micronesia and nearby WW2 and cold war US-occupied countries like Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, and extending to China, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand usually have American English

polynesian languages are part of the austronesian superfamily, which austronesians originate originally around southeastern coasts of china before they moved to taiwan and then to philippines and beyond. japanese is part of japonic family, which used to be in the korean peninsula, some millennia ago too, which before that, they were in shandong peninsula that china owns now, then before that, they were in eastern china coasts, so the ancient proto-japonic language some thousands of years ago were actually possibly neighbors with the ancient proto-austronesian language, then researchers haven't dug deep enough to know the history before that yet if they have any common origin, but all human species today have common origin somehow if u go far enough back

the Quad QSD group from india, australia, japan, US and the old SEATO (Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Australia, New Zealand, Pakistan, UK, France, US) and the current ASEAN (Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, Laos, Myanmar, Cambodia, Brunei), plus later South Korea and Taiwan are all imperative to the grand strategy for an Asian NATO in the making, especially Philippines, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, Vietnam, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand, while US, Japan, Australia, and India are the back line

@zebimicio5204 Nothing is easy in life lol and i dont know which kind of "political union" you're specifically thinking of anyways. the union that works is the asean we have today and its not the monolithic union you're thinking that will supposedly invalidate whoever group that will supposedly make them hate others more.
Indonesia hasn't collapsed and they also repeat that a lot that many doubt their future of national integrity, but they're still whole. Same can be said with many other Asean countries since all have a certain level of diversity. only those in island east asia have such monolithic societies. Separatist movements are always present in many countries. It's just a matter of what level of influence those movements have proportionally over the populations. In most asean countries, they all remain small and insignificant.
Unions of whichever kind it is form for common purposes since cultures arent monolithic. asean stands as it is today, because the underlying initial concept in maphilindo and seato succeeded with asean and as of yet it has not transformed into a supposed southeast asian civil war.
In my country, cultures are finely interlinked and also does not spark mass conflict since any conflict remains as individual small personal conflicts that eventually fizzle out. Only politics and religious extremists spark such mass disorder, which both still appear even in monolithic societies. Perhaps you live in a historically segregationist society to fear such integration since several more distinct groups can as easily cause wide group conflict threatening to engulf you, but if the group's integrity is strong enough or the whole neighborhood is diverse enough to balance each other, there will not be any engulfing of small groups, which is why the governments there have been finding ways to force integrate the society, since a more integrated diverse society ensures its component groups don't see the other groups as monolithic enemies if they balance each other out. there will be too many varying sides that it will dull out a conflict anyways making it remain small and the wider neighborhood remains linked as a minor conflict will remain minor. Monolithic entities catch fire faster anyways, but an interlinked forest only catches fire on certain spots enough time that those spots can be dealt with, and its interlinkedness can make it still a united one and powerful enough a cradle to protect the neighborhood against outside powers

@zebimicio5204 too much diversity?? hahahaha are you from europe or something lol. look who's projecting ideas. that diversity is what enables or forces all of these countries and peoples to respect each other rather than devolving into petty tribalistic squabbles because there aren't big powerful homogenous groups that could upset the balance. now, look to the north in east asia where the countries are more homogenous and think they can strike out on their own and go and dominate each other so they cant ever seem to get into any sort of union together. if you're implying that indonesia is supposed to be homogenous just because they are majority austronesian, lol most all austronesian countries have varying levels of intermixed populations despite speaking austronesian languages. the proportions and distribution of peoples in each place paints a more diverse picture, living side by side, yet how in the world have they not devolved into the fighting the west expects us to devolve to as if it was like europe. in europe, the people really treat it like a Divide, when it does not even need to be a Divide just because your neighbor is different. in asian countries, conflict avoidance is paramount and when there is a conflict, compromise is always what people head to and most are satisfied with it. I don't get how it is a problem that continental southeast asia is supposed to be not austronesian. lol i myself am not mostly ethnically austronesian yet i live in a society with most being austronesians and they dont see me that differently to do anything. in fact, the people in thailand if only they didnt start talking in thai, they actually look like the same people in my country.

@akunbuangan2992 "Nusantara" is Indonesia centric too, since it's mainly only used in Indonesia these days. it's an Indonesian term from Old Javanese, which itself borrowed it from an Old Malay compound of "nusa" + "antara", which the "antara" part was also originally borrowed from Sanskrit. Other names to Maritime Southeast Asia are terms like, the East Indies or Austronesia, but austronesia spans polynesia, micronesia, champa, and madagascar too, plus of course, austronesian ethnic groups aren't the only peoples living in the region.

@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

@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.

@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.

@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.

@dagger3418 u say "No" but that's what i've already been saying. u do something about it. u go through the entire process and struggle of doing something about it. everyone can do something about it and go through the struggle of going through that, but rather a lot of filipinos clamor about how their place is not good and imagining others should've made it better. everyone already thinks this, so who are those "others" or this imagined "government" such people blame so much on, when who else but themselves. people like this are basically badmouthing their own or themselves, when the situation is but a reflection of their own. they could've done something about it themselves. there is a lack of ownership and responsibility for their own. they just deprecate themselves and conclude they should quit and go off to other countries, because the usual drama they dont want to deal with going through the struggle of life in ph, cuz boohoo others are so bad and corrupt or pin it on the imagined evil government. who else are the government? it's also supplied by the people themselves. there's no current restriction to who is the government. anyone who wants to work as the government can strive to get in and be the government. so who is the government? filipinos themselves are their own government, yet filipinos complain about "the government" who are... themselves. to these kinds of filipinos, i say why not better the place yourself? the reaction all the time, oh so hard, let's just run to another country.... some other people painstakingly built...
also, youtube is mostly entertainment, yes. or at least, the point of many channels is at the very least that. the video is more of a pinoybaiting one, cuz many youtubers already know filipino audiences just quickly click any video that's remotely anything to do with them, even tho theyre not the most informed about that topic.

@dagger3418 u're miscontruing the should-be's to what the realities of the world gives on ur platter. it's not me who controls this nor is it something i wish myself. lol. reality is reality. if u think wars are not normal, perhaps look through history and no matter how long it has been, wars have been normal for thousands of years. even now, humans are still not able to stop it or in this case, each other. is it desirable? no. but that is the reality everyone faces regardless if u dont like it.
what will i do? if they don't succeed. of course nothing, why should u expect me, another human in the system, to do something for them. should i expect you to do something for them? or should i expect u to do something for me? i should be wondering what they will indeed do to pull themselves out of the rut they are in. just like i am myself and everyone else i know are struggling to succeed and pull ourselves out of the rut. can i do anything about this system? no. all i can do is get through the system that is set, just like you and everyone else. idk if u r an adult already but if u are or not, u should quickly understand this reality we cannot easily change ourselves. everyone has the obligation in life to better oneself, also known as to 'Git Gud'. if u ask me to give you opportunities, what's the difference if i ask you to give me opportunities? nothing. can you give me opportunities? or do u want to imagine someone will come to spoonfeed you? if u r not yet an adult, this is a brutal reality everyone eventually faces out in the world. adulting is hard. the sooner one accepts this. the sooner one has time to focus and think of how to 'git gud' at life. all im saying, me and you, we cannot change this system. it is system-built. this video saying something about supposedly "the state not giving its citizens proper opportunities." is like asking your own parents that. eventually one learns, u can or will be a parent as well and then, younger people will ask u the same demands and questions thinking u betrayed them too about these "proper opportunities" you could not give them... kaysa nganga ka then, realize mo ng maaga, everyone is for their own. the brutal evolutionary natural selection system is older than humans and the fact that humans exist the way they are now is becuz humans successfully survived through getting gud....

@BlueflameKing1 it wasnt california to east asia. it was acapulco in mexico to manila in the philippines which is in southeast asia. sailing ships relied on ocean currents which typically went around like it were a circle, which means their route always circled around where hawaii was at. see the map: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4c/Andres_Urdaneta_Tornaviaje.jpg/800px-Andres_Urdaneta_Tornaviaje.jpg
they only mentioned california because the return route of the urdaneta tornaviaje was like they said in the video, went from manila in the philippines, going north nearby to japan, over around the arsobispo islands (modern-day bonin islands today owned by japan where iwojima is at), then going around due south near the alaskan aleutian islands, to eventually pass by california in the US, then head further south to acapulco, mexico. of course, if u went from acapulco in mexico towards the philippines, you'd just go around past and skip hawaii, then make your stop point at guam in the marianas islands which the video neglected to mention that magellan actually did find and called the natives as "ladrones"(thieves) for the same reason they mentioned in the video, then they'd get to the philippines.
if u see the ocean currents map link i showed u, the current path that lines up close to hawaii is the path from california in the US, that is if ships sailed from california, which is why later, british and americans were to find and deal with hawaii...

@SunnyIlha Australian Aboriginals, Melanesian Papuans, the Andamanese and Negritos of the Philippines and the ancient Extinct Negritos of Taiwan, Malaysia, Indonesia spread out during ancient times several millennia ago from prehistoric southern india coasts and myanmar, they later migrated over land on the ancient sunken Sunda peninsula that later sailed over to ancient Sahul continent and the ancient islands of the Philippines that were also not connected back then. they even reached Taiwan during ancient prehistoric times when it was still part of the Asian mainland. Today, those Negritos in Taiwan and former Sundaland areas of Sumatra, Malaya, Java, Borneo are all extinct with the only survivors in Andaman islands, the Philippines, Papua, Australia, all of which islands since prehistoric ancient times.

in the philippines, we dont typically call it as "boba tea" or "bubble tea", although Quickly during the early 2000s did sell it marketing it as "bubble tea". it only took off in popularity the philippines being called as "milk tea", because the concept of having tapioca pearls in your drinks was not particularly special to people in the philippines because we've always had cold drinks with sago pearls in them and in fact in Filipino/tagalog, we call the tapioca pearls as "sago" even tho, its not sago but tapioca. what was surprising to people was the combination of milk and tea as a cold drink lol. there were already cold drinks with sago pearls in the philippines for centuries since the spanish colonial times, such as Gulaman, which in spanish before was called Chanchau, the word itself being from Hokkien 田草 (chhân-chháu, “grass jelly”). grass jelly itself is gooey and chewy like sago pearls and tapioca pearls. centuries ago there were roving street peddlers selling such drinks called chanchaulero and they were in the same class as roving street peddlers that sold tofu pudding we now call taho in the philippines, itself also originally from roving hokkien chinese street peddlers

@leponpon6935 its stupid rates. i graduated at a top university like ateneo de manila filled with rich kids, but starting salary for graduates is still like around only ₱25k-30k (RM2000-2400), rather than ₱20k-25k (RM1600-2000) to other more generic universities or ₱12k-20k (RM962-1600) for the more desperate, then families like mine usually grew up with maids living at home being paid monthly like ₱8k (RM641). the cost of a meal outside each day at some restaurant or mall is like around ₱60/120-400 or so (RM4/9-32) and the utility bills for internet or others is like ₱1k something. i managed to land a starting job before with US company for ₱31k(RM2500) before covid happened but its a software engineer job with office location very far away from my home filled with programming for me who graduated with a course not geared too much in that and have to commute daily there for like maybe 3-4hrs back and forth every day if i dont pay some ride hailing app instead to get there in 1-2hrs, so left it after some months when its already covid. of course, stupid covid, i could not find anymore such job. other fresh graduate job only want like ₱20k-25k (RM1600-2000) or lower. even with that, stupid job interviews never went ahead ever in the past months and years, so my sister decided to make an online store in lazada and shopee and the sales were doing ok last year, like i could see 6 digit ₱ earnings (around RM8k) some months selling anti-covid products. of course, unlucky for me, it's not me who owns the shop, so i still only get like at first zero salary, then later ₱3k(RM240), then later around ₱10k(RM800), then later around ₱25k(RM2000) but family decided to start making me pay bills so i only get half those with the bills deducted. fastforward to now, this year covid product sales are down because of course covid is not so much there anymore, so now, sales are lower than the bills they give me, so now since june and july, im getting negative salary. wtf... i try for the past months to find job again but as usual, interview interview goes nowhere, leads to either ghosting or reject. idk if i should just go abandon the career meant for what i graduated and go to those call center or bpo kind of jobs offerred from china or taiwan with those online casino for chinese mainlanders, at least for relatively simple enough job, they say they offer ₱80k-₱100k (RM6400-8000). for other career, those might as well be middle manager salary rates in the philippines. any higher rate needs to run your own business or be C-level to get 6 digit ₱ inflow each month.

@Jose.AFT.Saddul no, u dont get it. many filipinos today also dont know about this as much because its not talked about as much. in spanish colonial times, the spaniards were called "kastila", but more specifically those from spain were called "peninsulares", those from latin america were called "americanos", those who were born and raised in the philippines were originally called "filipinos" or "insulares"(if compared to the peninsulares). these are terms used in spanish for the spaniards in the philippines, while the term used to call the native filipino groups is "indio", which is the same as what they used for the natives in latin america. of course, these aren't the only terms too. the term they used to call chinese in the philippines before was "sangley". for the indians, it was "bombay". for the japanese, it was "japon" or "xaponeses". in spanish colonial times, both the natives and chinese were the more common average people in the philippines and soon they intermixed as part of assimilationist plans by the spaniards themselves. this produced mixed descendant peoples called "mestizo", more specifically "mestizo de español" for the mixed spanish and native descendants, and "mestizo de sangley" for the mixed chinese and native descendants" and "tornatras" for the mix of the former two or mixed spanish and chinese. historically, the mestizo de sangley were more common among the colonial urban middle class and eventually, they are the ones who would also become rich and climb the social ladder as illustrados being european-educated intelligentsia in europe. these guys would later be the masterminds of the revolutionary movement in the philippines and the later philippine republics that declared every citizen as all just "Filipino" is their idea.... so now, everyone in the philippines is deemed "Filipino" and since the more populous people that many think about are the native filipinos, the american especially think it only refers to them, but this is but a nationality concocted by mestizo filipinos themselves...

he is mistaken, the Philippines wasnt the only colony of the US. there's also FS of Micronesia, Palau, Marshall Islands, Northern Marianas, US Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, and Hawaii. In fact the last 3 are still US colonies... and the first 4 plus Guam used to part of the Spanish East Indies as the Marianas and Carolinas islands, which couldve been part of the Philippines too, had they decided to not split and just hold free association with the US or still be a colony a.k.a. "unincorporated U.S. territory"

the map may say that only US, Liberia, and Myanmar uses imperial and not metric, but there's actually many countries who use a mix of both. in my country, measuring a person's height is usually in feet, while some cookbooks and syrup medicine does use tablespoons and teaspoons or cups, and water stations use gallons, but formal academia, construction work, road signs, and nutrition facts, and most medicine use meters and liters and of course, temperature is always in celsius. as for weight, people's weight is usually measured in pounds, but the weight for other products like in a market is in kilos. my country is the philippines.

huh? the philippines and Liberia wasnt the only US colony, they are the only ones that are vocal about it, but there are many other US colonies before too, like American Samoa, FS of Micronesia, Palau, Marshall Islands, US Virgin Islands, Northern Marianas, Guam, Puerto Rico, and Hawaii. In fact the last 3 are still US colonies...
