Filipinos who Sacrificed Themselves for Korea 

She's pure korean but i can see how much she loves filipino people and Philippines 🥺💚

These Filipinos fought in a land they did not know, for a people they did not know, against an enemy they did not know. All right after a devastating war destroyed their country just a decade earlier. God bless them and all who fought in Korea 🇵🇭🇰🇷🇺🇸

As a korean, those nameless Filipinos who died and sacrificed their lives for our country are the people I respect the most. There are surely a lot of soldiers who died without getting any credits. Respect to the Filipinos.

I went to South Korea in 1991. I stayed there for three months. What I noticed was that the older people showed respect when they learned that I came from the Philippines. They still remembered the contribution that we made during the Korean War.

My grandfather took part in the Korean War. Thank you for commemorating their service.

South Korea thank you for giving a recognition to Filipinos. Good bless Korea!

Jessica eonni, Pure Korean with a Filipino heart.

I have been visiting South Korea since 2011. I was overly interested in learning and understanding Korean History. Furthermore, I was curious when I saw the Filipino names at The War Memorial Of Korea. As a Pinoy myself, I started to research about it. On other trips to Korea, I had special experiences in the Subway, train stations, or typical sightseeing tour locations. Some old men reached me. Some started shaking my hand, even hugging me or crying. My Korean friends translated for me and said, they fought together with or saved the lives by Filipinos. They just wanted to thank you for surviving and that I looked like his Filipinos mates. Well, that was special. And last April I visited my Korean friends again, and when my friend was drunk, he also started to thank me, that he has a wonderful life now. Yes, that was special too.

Jessica is such an authentic, well-spoken, and well-rounded both as a person and a youtuber. Her channel is a combination of entertaining and informative.

Im filipino who currently work here in Korea many koreans dont know the history of korean war in 1950's that many filipino sacrifice their life to meet the peaceful life in korea, My co workers dont know about it very disappointed. But thank you, Some koreans appreciated the filipino who help their country and good life and now good economy. Hope to help my country Philippines to grow our economy us well. Hope to meet you here in korea Ms. Jessica

I am proud to be Filipino. The Philippines is a land of bloody Heroes and of the mighty. 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

I salute for this girl because he appreciates Filipino sacrifice for south Korea

I love koreans who knows this side of their history most especially the korean war😊

Thank you guys. My grandpa fought in Korean War and Vietnam war. I’m so thankful of him fighting for the Philippines and for other allied countries. He was a Philippine army then recruited by the US to fight in Korea and in Vietnam. When he died at the age of 91 someone announced it at the podium that he’s had 20 plus medals 😢😢😢. I didn’t really pay attention to it because I was young at that time when he passed away. Now I realized how tough he was and I’m very grateful, also because of him we all migrated in the US and have a better life. I’m very proud and I’m always grateful. We should always thankful for all the fallen soldiers, veterans and troops today for their sacrifices and services!!! Mabuhay!!!

Ah. I definitely need to visit there. I'm a Filipino-Canadian who has been working as an English teacher in S.Korea over a year now. Maybe it's because I'm an INFJ, but I see myself as being part of continuing Filipino-Korean history by being a teacher for kids here. I'm probably the first Filipino person they've ever met. A lot of Filipinos work here but not in English teaching jobs. I had the privilege of growing up in Canada so I am eligible for English teaching positions here. And in those positions you really get to interact with the new generation and leave a positive impact on shaping their world perspectives of those who are different from them.

I'm a Filipina from Philippines, and i'm so proud that there's some people loves too educate in history and known what's the past. Thank you so much for having a memorial day of our heroes💞💜

Happy independence day to us Filipinos Mabuhay ang Kalayaan! 🇵🇭

I must say, jessica really knows the history in philippines more than the current generation of filipinos. That is why I am very lucky that I discovered this channel. I hope more people will discover this channel, so that they will have a good amount of knowledge in history. This proves that jessica is so smart, thats why we stan her. More power for our princess

amazing how jessica knows almost everything about the Philippine history. shows just how much she really love our country. some of the Filipinos are grateful to our national heroes, but doesn't know exactly what they are being grateful of. we know them, but we have no idea of what they did and what they've gone through to give us the freedom that we are enjoying right now. it's sad to say, but as time pass by, i feel like they are slowly being forgotten. so it feels really good seeing someone like jessica, a korean, reminding us about our history and how we should treasure them in our memories. thank you, jess. ❤

Thank you for remembering our Filipino soldiers!.mabuhay ang Pilipinas!...

NOLI ME TANGERE and EL FILIBUSTERISMO was a masterpiece indeed. Sadly, most of the Filipino nowadays just don't see its significance and how it played a role not just back then but even up unto this day. :(( I'm glad that someone is interested to read the novel for its content and message not just because it's part of their academic requirement.

We love her as a Filipino family she part of ours.

I admire how culture-conscious Koreans are and how interested they are in learning about history. She is a Korean, yet I can see how much she love the Filipinos and the Philippines.

The KOREAN WAR was the first armed conflict outside the Philippines involving official Filipino soldiers since the Philippines gained national independence from America in July 1946! ❤🇰🇷❤🇵🇭

💗💗💗🙏

Thank you for recognizing Filipino known and unknown heroes. The deep rooted connection between South Korea and Philippines started decades ago but good to know that some of the Koreans still remember and honor it. Thank you Unnie ✨

Jessica Lee reminds me so much of Dara of 2NE1, a Korean citizen who considers the Philippines as a second home. Salamat!

While watching this video i feel emotion...... , from thousand miles here in UK sending my gratitude thanking to the Koreans giving a plaque for those respected soldiers in individuals Filipinos, Koreans and the UN.......❤️❤️❤️🇵🇭🇬🇧

Wala nako masasabe im a filipino but it looks like she knows allot about our culture and history and thats awesome. She truly consider our country as her 2nd home. So much respect po sayo 🙇

This explains why Koreans reacted that way on the past issue about the tattoo. Because you know your history well, and it was taught in a relatable manner, you feel so highly emotional about what happened back then. And that's understandable now. Makes a lot of sense

THANK YOU TO OUR all SOLDIERS SACRIFICE their LIVES BECAUSE OF OUR FREEDOM TODAY EAT MC DONALD HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY AMERICA

Salamat korea for recognizing our filipino soldiers salamat

Jessica reporter Sylvia camera women Labyu both ❤ Kahit umuulan nagrereport pa rin about philippine history sa korea with Sylvia pa. Luv it 💕 mabuhay kayong dalawa JesSyl 🌹

I love Jessica. She's eloquent, thoughtful, modest and shows genuine interest about similarities between the Philippines and Korea. My high respect for this girl. ❤️

but indeed, we should give importance to our history and always remember to be really grateful to the bravery and sacrifices our heroes have made just to give us the freedom we are enjoying right now.

Jessica-- thank you very much for giving tribute to the Filipino soldiers who volunteered to protect Korea, gave up their lives for freedom and helped Korea what it is today. This happened just right after WWII when the whole Philippines was devastated and still recovering from the damage. But more than 7,000 Filipino volunteers went there to help protect South Korea. My father who was a WWII veteran was supposed to go there but decided to stay in the Philippines to finish his degree. Eventually he came to the US to pursue his graduate degree in engineering. Some of his friends, though, did not make it back home. This very special relationship between Korea and Philippines is bound throughout history. And thank you for your love of the Filipinos and Philippines. I hope the Korean media will notice you being a very talented and articulate and wonderful person.

This is only one of the koreans who love Philippines❤🇵🇭

This is one of the places I loved when I visited Korea few years ago. I took myself out on a date and spent at least 5 hours inside... to the point that a security asked me if I lost my group(there were students who came on a field trip that same day as I did) and had to explain in broken Korean that I'm not part of any group. LOL I remember tearing up while passing by the Memorial Hall because, like what you and Sylvia said, can't imagine living during the war. Couldn't even imagine being a mother during the time and just praying every single day that your child will come back home after serving. Oh gosh, I had to hold it in when I specifically went to the exhibition room where there's a drop of water in the middle and every drop has the name of the soldier who passed away during the war. I wish you showed the uniforms of the females who served in the military, as well. I thought that was pretty cool! Can't wait to go back to Korea and visit this again! PS. I don't know if they still do it but when I went, they're actually giving out a free book about the Korean War.

Filipino soldiers are actually the one who literally risked their lives for South Korea. 3 countries (Colombia, Philippines and Turkey if i'm not mistaken) are guarding a certain mountain (Yultong), Puerto Rico and Turkey was alreadt defeated and among the 3, Philippines was in the middle so when the 2 country fell, Filipino Soldiers were surrounded, literally surrounded, their front, left and right are all occupied by the opponent. Soldiers actually suggested to retreat but a Filipino general told them not to, so even the cooks of the soldier was forced to fight and they actually won. It was a small fight in the Korean History but it actually helped Korean focus on their own fight. And if my estimation is correct, the ratio of Filo Soldier to Chinese soldier that time was 1 : 4,000 (meaning 1 filo needs to defeat 4000 chinede

My grandfather - Sgt. Tomas Gealone was among the brave men who fought during the Korean War. He was the - Avenger 14th Battalion Combat Team member. Sadly, I never had a chance to meet him before I was born. I heard his amazing stories from Lola and I’m so proud of his valorous spirit and fearlessness during the War.

Thank you for remembering our Filipino soldiers!! My grandfather is one of them and watching this makes my heart so happy ❤

Idk but naiiyak ako … i feel how she appreciates philippines ❤️

I'm happy because korea never forgot philipinas💕

My late grandfather fought in the Korean War. I’m glad that South Korea recognizes the sacrifices that my grandfather and other Filipinos made for their country.

When you mentioned about how people are interested in korea but not more interested about the korean history, as a kpop and kdrama fan I didn't even realize how I started to like korean war movies or based-on-true-story movies about how korean life and how they lived back then. I as an indie film and historical movies enthusiast, it is always a yes to learn and to appreciate the history of everything.

Jessica and Sylvia unnie has a "Pusong Pinoy", and it feels great to see their vlogs full of love to the Philippines. Thank you so much unnies!! Saranghaeee

Many Filipinos have forgotten the Battle of Manila where the city was completely devastated by gunshots where you can still see some of the structures with bullet holes to the massive bombing of Manila to the mass murder did by the Japanese and it was estimated that 100,000 to 500,000 people perished in that battle alone which only lasted 28 days.

After seeing how modern Koreans perceive Filipinos today around social media, I felt hate and confusion until I learned from one of the comments that Philippines helped in the Korean war. Upon learning that I didn't feel a sense of "gotcha" moment, I just felt pride and understood that today not many people (including me) are educated about the past. I no longer hold hate for the Koreans who blindly "bully" us, instead I feel love appreciation for those who remember the courage of their countrymen and our countrymen along with many others who helped protect the core of any country. The people. On behalf of humanity, human lives and the Filipino heart, thank you for this video and thank you to you beautiful ladies for your respect and the love for your country!

Every time that Jessica explains something about Philippines. I was like 😲😲wow I mean knowing that she's a pure korean and knows very well our history and many things👏👏👏💜💜

When you mentioned Douglas McArthur being a controversial hero, there are some sentiments among historians that the total destruction of Manila could have been avoided if not for the big ego of Douglas McArthur. Who am I to judge the actions of people back then, it was a different time. Manila then was called the "Pearl of the Orient" pre-war, to "Stalingrad of Asia" post WW2 with the city in rubbles ...we lost hundreds of thousands of lives and 300 years of civilization.

PH was colonised by the Spanish for more than 300 years. So we feel you. Edited: 333 years to be exact.

For us to know ourselves, we must know our history. Thank you for making a blog about Korean war that involved foreign fighters especially the brave and loving Filipinos. Mabuhay!

I love this type of content. This strengthened the Filipino and Korean Friendship. I hope today's generation also focus on each other culture and stop creating chaos for a little population that may say bad things about each other country.

All i can say is thank you so much Miss Jess for including our fellow hero Filipino Soldiers in your video.. 🇵🇭💕

the memorial building architecture is impressive

Thank you for giving our Pilipino soldiers tribute for their sacrifice in your country.

I proud of you Jessica Lee, my Grand father is a general soilger brave race fighting for honor General Benjamin Santos...Now im the last private Benjamin Santos jr. And i have a mission to help poorpeople and homeless also sick people give them helping hands its my Humanitarian Content...Godbless u Jessica Lee.

I was really proud to born and grow in philippine and heroes that give their lives just to save us . Even though they didn't know where they are put in a battle area.. they were really served for humanmankind . Mabuhay po sa inyo!!!

06:39 I'm Filipino but I never fully read the books. Kudos to you.

Thank you for remembering these valiant Filipinos who fought for South Korea's freedom. But more than that, we fed Koreans during that war. There was famine in Korea since all crops were destroyed. We sent Philippine rice. For a while, I was saddened because there was Korean bashing of Filipinos. But somehow I am happy now because there were those who remembered that there was a time that our country was not the way it is now. God bless those who know how to say thank you.

That's why I really don't want other Filipinos and Koreans to fight because I don't want to ruin their friendship:< I only found out about it when they were fighting because of Bella's tattoo

Thank you for telling us the history of Korea, with an emphasis on the Filipino soldiers’ sacrifices.

I’m so glad they appreciate us filipinos🇵🇭

Coincidence, I am highschool now and currently reading "Noli me tanggere " for our upcoming test next week, I really want history and korea , and that's why I really loved watching your vlogs unnie , bcz it does not focus on one thing or one topic but it roll's around your life and journey and fit's whatever occations were celebrating on and for that we're able to see and feel what is happening around us , Keepsafe ate Jessica!

I can feel the sincerity on every praise or compliment she throws to Filipinos or Philippines...

I'm crying now to our beloved soldier's 😢 those sacrifices their lives in South 🇰🇷 I'm proud of them and I'm proud to be Filipino❤

After watching this video I think I should be more focused about our lesson that is Dr. Jose Rizal's novel. Thank you for reminding us, the new generation, to never forget about the sacrifices of our heroes. Love ya!♡

Tanks to your appreciating the filipino soldiers who gives in life that past history..

Great job Ms. History never die. Always in people's hearts for ever. Thank You.

Thank you for appreciate 😢😢😢 Its rare for me to appreciate from korean people,,, God is Great

I remember the stories of some of the Filipinos who were genuinely disappointed during the cancel korea "movement" (idk what else to call it) where they were sharing stories about their grandfathers who fought alongside the Koreans during the war crying when they went back to Korea to visit that memorial center.

The more I watch Jessica’s vlogs, the more I learned things!!! When it’s possible to travel again, I’ll def visit that place ;) btw I’m a fan from Fukuoka Japan❤️❤️

필리핀을 사랑 해주셔서 감사합니다 한국에 가면 거기 가고 싶어 신의 축복이 제시카 리를 먹었습니다 한국 전쟁에서 싸우는 많은 필리핀 군대가>3 우리는 너를 사랑해💖

Thanks for featuring the Korean War Museum. I was able to visit the museum in 2008 during our Training in Yongsan Garrison. And also visited our counter-parts in ROK-Armed Forces Medical Command. The Museum was closed that day because it was a holiday... But ROK Armed Forces managed to organized a guided tour for us even it was closed. They said we should not go without seeing both our countries' joint history. When i saw the names of the filipino who where honored by your country for ultimate sacrifice they made for your freedom... I was both honored, and proud and of course sad for their family also. Thanks for the vlog Jessica.

Two of my uncles are Korean War Veterans. Thank you for your RU-vid channel and your understanding about Filipino soldiers that fought side by side with South Koreans and U.S soldiers .

Well said ladys thumbs up from Los Angeles California.

Im a Filipino and Jessica knows more history than I do. I really admire her 🥺♥️

Salamat Jessica iha for this. Also thankful, because until now, there are lots of koreans visiting PH. But as a 10 year plus kdrama fan, I was shocked that there are some koreans having safety issues in PH probably because its shown in the PH news tv. But how can Koreans really think that Philippines is only a dangerous country? When about 7,000 Filipino soldiers were sent to the Korean war as requested by UN Allied Forces. Just learned today March 2023 about Filipino war veterans who fought on Korean war. Japan conquered PH, yet they keep sending lots of help to PH during calamities and all. Though I know South korea also do? But for koreans to think PH is only a dangerous country is not justifiable for Filipino war veterans who fought and died for the koreans during Korean war. Appreciating this video you created. Korean media needs war history news update? Peace!

Thank you for appreciating Filipinos even if Philippines is trending in Korea right now, in behalf of those ppl who are bullying bts, we are really really sorry 🥺🥺

Pure Korean with a Filipino heart❤️

Koreans and Filipinos will forever be friends.

I love Jessica's perspective about knowing history, so in depth.

i can hear sylvia nod in every sentence spoken by Jessica. now, who would not like to have a friend like her.

Many Filipinos are dedicated to their work especially the soldiers. Filipino soldiers are very brave to the point that they will die for their country's freedom. 💙💕

thank you for remembering the heroism of our countrymen🇵🇭❤️

Thank you for the compliments.. its our pleasure and were happy to help. always! proud native filipino here.. one more thing.. your so intelligent and pretty korean... Bless you always...

Thank you for recognizing the Filipino soldier, Mabuhay ang Pilipinas at Korea!!!

To all the Pilipinos who fought not only in Korea but also in other countries for their National Freedom. MABUHAY!

My late Grandfather was one of the soldiers who were sent there to fight although he was part of the last batch. I am glad he was safe and went home and lived up to 86 years. I miss you Papang.

ThNks to the filipino soldiers who foughft for south korea..
