We aren’t one family though

@@Duquedecastro Your goofy as hell bruh. “Mexicans” are already a mix of African, native & European. No Filipino tho? Not allowed? Your ignorant as hell.

@@Duquedecastro he's talking about his family.

👍🏾

Nahhh

@@Largepro21 yes

@@Largepro21 pue.

We won the Japanese war together

@@alfredolpzjr fuck yeah!

dude we were homies since 1564!

of course lol, any group under the root of Spanish culture is family

If you know history this shit goes back some 450 plus years!

You should know that Mexico sent our Aztec eagle squadrons 🦅 in world war 2 to help you guys out. Mexico and Philippines are friends, allies and forever like family! Always have been always will be. 🇲🇽❤️🇵🇭👍🏽👍🏽

@@Jose0421 yes As a filipino I agree with this💖 Viva Mexico! Saludos!

Ew why would they wave the huelga flag, they ain’t Mexican

@@Coconut____________214 I hope you ain't Mexican either! Your to ignorant!

​@@Coconut____________214Educate yourself. Google UNITED FARM WORKERS OF AMERICA.

@@YYC403NOYP I know my history.

Lol you do know "huelga" is not a Spanish or Indigenous Mexican word ​@@Coconut____________214

Yes! Also remember General Isidro Montes de Oca, Filipino-Spanish Mexican who fought with Vicente Guerrero and Morelos in the Mexican war of independence.

I have course don’t forget it but unfortunately this piece of history is under-told to most Filipinos or Mexicans today. If I recall, it remains to this day the only time Mexico has deployed their armed forces outside their borders. Very profound respect .

Not hating but Larry was Chavez's speech writer when they joined forces and Larry's AWO started way before Chavez's.

@@Periskop1He was a Spaniard born in the Philippines, totally different

@@Duquedecastro Different to what?

thanks

In Filipino, it's spelled as welga and is still the Filipino word for strike.

@@dgr8flav that’s amazing 🤩

Yea theres a lot of similar words in Filipino and Spanish due to the Spaish ruling in Filipins and Latin America.

@@armandoayala446 that’s right

No, Spain *and* Mexico colonized the Philippines. Mexico City was in charge for the Spanish Crown. They brought Filipino slaves to Mexico. It’s not exactly a historically equal history

Mexico is Spanish descended while Philippines isn’t.

@@Duquedecastrowe are very different. Only Filipino Americans and Mexican Americans are finding out both countries were colonized by Spain and majority are catholics. Other than that, our countries and cultures are very different. If there is a version of Mexico in Asia, that would be Thailand. Same level of development, our food has conquered the world, lots of culture and tourism as well.

@@matagringos999 Mexico is a G20 and OECD member country which isn’t anywhere near as low as either the Philippines nor Thailand. Mexican gastronomy has gone further than either cuisine, even being tied with French cuisine as UNESCO heritages.

@@matagringos999 No comparison with any Asian country 🤣 except perhaps India

Because no one listened to Bernie Sanders for decades so political bribery is still not REALLY illegal so....companies like National school publishing company McGraw from Texas keeps bribing state legislators to allow them to omit a lot of history that make “white patriot” people look bad. Like when a us military authority made up a story in the newspapers that there was gold in the north west in the Black Forest fully knowing that when white Americans would see that newspaper and try to look for that gold with their entire families, they would be trespassing Native American territory breaking a treaty that basically said, “given history tensions and injustices against the natives, if either side crosses, it’s war..”. The US military authority knew a war would begin which is exactly what he wanted in order to gain access and control of that land. (He knew the us would win because the us always won land with guns against natives without guns) Yes, the US military sacrificed white American families just to gain power and control. This is still the truth of the us military today. You should watch the show Amend on Netflix that just came out. It’ll show you things you and I never learned in history class. It’s amazing!!!

I've come to believe US prioritizes other pieces of history than ALL of what happened. It's ridiculous.

Huelga is a Mexican thing that Filipinos are trying to hijack🙄

Mexicans started the huelga and the huelga bird.

@@Coconut____________214 like what? It's a Spanish word of course every Spanish speaking country knows that 🤡

@@jayveeizuna it’s a Mexican thing though and Filipinos bandwagon our shit like they always do.

@@Coconut____________214 Mexico and the Philippines have been trading and exchanging each other's culture and customs for the past 400 years. Many things that Filipinos have are from Mexico in origin. Learn the history of the Viceroyalty of New Spain and the Manila Galleon trade and you will know Mexico and Philippines are close to each other. 😂👌

Indios of Mexico had many more rights than Asians. Moctezuma II’s statue is built into the Royal Palace of Madrid. It’s more like White and Mestizo Mexicans, not just white

LOL ok buddy.

Lmao, stop it. They wouldn't be at the bottom of the barrel if that was the truth

@@thetruthhurts131 jealous!!!!!!!

@@chilangolpz6851 Jealous of a Mexican and a Filipino? Seriously lmao 🤣 😂 😆

@@thetruthhurts131 you answer confirm your jealousy!!!!

Which was just a squadron right before the war was ending? Well here is your "gracias" then. 🤣🤣

No saber lo que se dice,también es una mierda.

And grigos

Not true. Mexicans and Spaniards conquered the Philippines. That’s a coalition between Mexico and Spain, not the Philippines. Mexico City ruled the East Indies for 250 years, and that’s why Filipino slaves were brought over.

Untill now you guys are still laborers

The first Filipino landing in US land 1572 in Morro Bay

@@LOPEZA-cw1tq There are millions of wealthy Mexican Americans, my family are lawyers and psychologists, etc. Many family members own million dollar properties. Nice try.

@@LOPEZA-cw1tq You have to be joking 😹😹 Filipinos didn’t land anything - they were on Novohispanic (New Spain/Mexican) ships being brought as slaves - look up the Trans Pacific Slave Trade.

@@LOPEZA-cw1tqAnd aren’t filipinos laborers? Working as a nurse is still labor lmao And dont many have more than one job? I’m Spanish American from Asturias and I’ve seen more wealthy Mexicans than Filipinos on the West coast, especially the ranchers. Unlimited filipino nurses too

Bruh us Pinoy started that shi shi y’all jus wanna wait till da older filo get older and for y’all Mexicans ppl get more shed in da light but we talk agree wit us and yet y’all still got the clout wataaaa lame 👎🏽

pue, pue, pue. hampas caldero.

@@zjankyy762 Larry even told Chavez to get militant and the Mexicans weren’t down lol.

@@zjankyy762 Mexicans started the United farm workers union. Mexicans started the huelga. And Filipinos followed.

@@biotyf4665 sound dumb who’s Larry ? Lol exactly.

What?

Maybe that’s because we’re not just “immigrants”. Half of the US was Mexico and we were the land owners. Filipinos cannot and don’t compare with that history. You are foreigners.

As a matter of fact, my ancestor who was born in Zacatecas, Mexico founded Santa Fe in 1598. That predates all of the English speakers. Other ancestors helped form California in 1769. We’re not immigrants to this place, and definitely not how you and others put it.

I’ve asked some Mexican friends before if they’d rather have it all Mexicans than what California Texas etc is now, they all said no way. They like the diversity because that would mean no Disneyland no Hollywood no Chinatown no Dodgers etc. The problem with your kind of Mexican (not all) is that you been treating us pinoys like foreigners even though we were born and raised in the same neighborhood as you. You claim that Chicano culture as all yours when pinoys were also part of that zoot suit style. I know I’m kinda off topic but I said it. Nowadays you got hipsters and real foreigners around. I bet some of y’all miss the old days where it was just a few of us Filipino Armenian Vietnamese Chinese Korean “foreign” but natives

Those were the guineas. They were wops
