How Chinese is the Philippines? | Philippine-China Relationship 🇵🇭🇨🇳 

It's just nice to see Jess really very much into Philippine history and culture. She even is more used to calling the wash room as CR--which is very Filipino and only we Filipinos call it as CR.

Salamat sa Virtual tour sa Chinatown Museum, Jessica. Ang Dami Kong nalaman na mga History & Traditions ng KOREA, CHINA, and PHILIPPINES. The best ka talaga mag explained ng mga topic mo, Napaka detailed.. 💖💖🥰💖💖. Napaka educational Ang mga Content mo, Jess 💯❤️

We actually named some foods with chinese places even though it's a new food or modified food because the inventor of those foods are filipino chinese....for example Shanghai roll was named after Shanghai but Chinese people are not familiar with these food, because it was invented in Philippines by a chinese immigrant....also the philippine siopao is slightly different from chinese sio bao, it's because siopao was invented in Philippines by a chinese immigrant, siopao dough is so soft and so pluffy perfected by the inventor...Mami was also inspired by chinese soup noodles but the inventor of the dish was a chinese immigrant in Philippines....although these foods were invented and modified by chinese Filipino immigrants these are totally in a new category of foods inspired by chinese foods...Chinese food enthusiasts actually surveyed these filipino foods and shocked to know that these are the same in concept but totally different in nature....

No filipino have guts to do this type of contents nowadays, kudos to jessica for doing this 👏

Amazing insight and explanation. Simple and easy. The Chinese revolted so much to the heavy tax imposed by Spain and yet their influence in Filipino culture is everywhere.

siguro Jess if you have a video like this, maybe you can put all your resources in the end like maybe citations or just links because your videos can also be used as learning material now as how good you are. and we never get tired of it.

Jessica -"there are like Product in the Philippines it doesn't mean like every single thing in the Philippines were influence by China such as, like this Jar. There was already a jar here in the Philippines as well before Chinese came." 3:11 Grabe napaka galing mo talaga mag explain, Jess. Kaya idol na idol kita eh.. We will support you always and forever.🇰🇷❤️🇵🇭

the way you organize your thoughts and explain them through words are very well arranged to the point that it’s really easier to understand. thanks for this 🥺

This is very informative video! I learned a lot on this video than in our school, charot. I can't believe that a Pure Korean with Pinoy Heart is doing this! Love ate Jessica!!!🩷🩷🩷

I'm Filipino with a Chinese descent, but government is so biased that they always highlight our culture influenced by Spain. They also should mention the older traditions, cultures, and government of muslim history that have similarities with neighbor Malaysia and Indonesia. When you mentioned "encouraged by Spaniard"... that's not really accurate as "most of them" we're forced to convert to Christianity, and if not then they'll either be rape, death by hang, boiled to water, get a hole in skull by gunpowder etc.. They also use the method of getting the kids of the Village leader and other normal kids and raised as Christian so once their parents died, those kids will continue to live in a Christian way.. I love my country but Government don't give justice on our story. The foods of Spanish that mixed with us was also influenced by Ottoman Empire so our foods is so unique that it's mixed with Spain and Middle.. Don't forget also that it's not only adobo or sinigang, those muslims that was not converted by Christians also have different foods and there's a lot of different foods on every tribes.. I think you should know it since you love Philippine Culture too..

yung mas marami pang alam si Jess sa history ng Pilipinas kaysa sa'kin na pure Filipino 😅 but, thank you, Jess for sharing your knowledge with us, especially to your non-Filipino viewers who are interested about the history of the Philipines :)

I love how ate Jessica really digging Filipino culture. As a local, it makes my heart happy seeing other race knowing and understanding our rich culture. 🤗♥️

Palagi nalang ako na iinlove sa mga talking vlogs mo hindi basta basta nagsasalita nag palaging pinag iisipan lahat ng mga binibitawang salita very good ❤️☺️ Fighting!!!

如果您與孩子一起搬到菲律賓宿務，在您辦理入籍手續時，這所學校將為他們提供服務。這所學校適合孩子們，因為它不太擁擠。這所學校名為CLC-HSI ，位於 Zodiac Village, Guadalupe 听国人介绍，这家是宿务当地比较好的学校，一年一万多人民币，可以选择上午或者下午上课，人不多，但国籍比例均衡 大多數學生有一半中國血統或有華裔血統， 2.5岁以上18岁以下可以就读，一个教室5个学生左右，两位老师看护教育

A lot of the Chinese-Spanish hybrids and decent over time forgot their Chinese roots and would present themselves as Spanish decent only due to the prestige it gave; most of the Spanish girls from not so well to do Spanish families in colonial Philippines were encouraged by their parents to marry Chinese men who had more money to ensure a sustainable/affluent future for their daughters, the Chinese men liked the idea so they can gain perks, additional rights, racial prestige and a pretty wife.

Happy Lunar New Year, Jessica!!💖😍 Gong xi fa cai.....

I want to thank Jessica for being impartial with the controversy going on with Koreans trying to appropriate Chinese festivals. It's Chinese New Year and it's based on the Lunisolar calender. Koreans, Vietnamese are free to celebrate this event too, but never call it your own.

Thank you ate Jessica for opening Philippines Chinese history

That's right, the Philippines - China relation were already established way before the Europeans discovered East Asia. The now Philippines archipelago were composed of independent smaller kingdoms, Sulu was the biggest, more established and more powerful. The sultan to Sulu had good foreign relation with the emperor of China, if I am not mistaken, one of the Sultan died in China during his foreign visit upon the inviation of the Emperor, and buried there. When China became a communist country and the Philippines was still under the influence of the US, as former American colony, that's when the relation soured. Nowaday, the relation between China and the Philippines, is mostly political and economic, unlike in the past that were many cultural exchanges. In recent years the relation deteriorated due to the territorial dispute in the Spartlys and West Philippine sea. The Philippines is in odd situation between the 2 major rivals. Only time will tell what tomorrow brings.

You should go to Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar..they still have tram operating within the place.

I appreciate that you mentioned that just because something appears in both Chinese culture and the Philippines, it doesn't necessarily mean something is influenced by China or something is from China. Most foreigners and some Filipino (to make it easier for foreigners to understand) would describe something with another country's name. This is just an example but I have heard batchoy described as Filipino pho. Or BGC looking like Singapore (defnitely not because Singapore has a different look and feel). Or if a thing that looks or tastes like another country's thing then it will be described as though the Philippines copied it without any consideration that because of trade years ago, these foreign traders could have easily brought things that they enjoyed in the Philippines to their own countries. Most people do not think about such things just because they have been to that other country first and then see something similar in the Philippines.

Jessica i love koreans thank u for appreciating the Phillippines

Happy Lunar New Year, Jessica stay Healthy and God bless you always!!💖😍 Gong xi fa cai..... Love you Jessica!!😘💖

Nice and good educational history about chinese influence but truth most pilipino have a blood of chinese like my family, my great great great grandfather a chinese merchant and living already in the Philippines and migrate and married a pilipina. But we have also Spanish blood which my grandfather and married to a mestiza pilipino chinese blood.

This is the reason why I'm a subscriber. You not only share your life experiences in the Philippines, but show your love of my country. You continue to promote my country (as well as yours to create a bridge and understanding) and educate locally and internationally about my culture. I like how you released this video to coincide with the Chinese New Year on how the Chinese culture has influenced the Philippines. I've been to Binondo twice during my past visits and once during the Chinese New Year Celebration. I must say that it's a must to visit during the celebration but bring earplugs.🤣🤣🤣🤣 I didn't even know there is a museum. This will be on my list to go on my next visit. Kudos 👏👏👏to you and your team for another educational and fun and well made video!! Always looking forward to your next one. Happy Lunar New Year Everyone!!🎆🎇🎇

Thank you Jessica Lee for this content, very well explained between Mainland China and Philippines, I'm was born and raised in Philippines, but I'm back and forth between Mainland China and Philippines. My parents was my mom is Filipina, and my dad was Chinese. The main reason was why chinese moved, have opportunities, start of good life, or migrate to Philippines, it's because to have a good journey for permanent live the country, some chinese its talks about come to Philippines for work as business owners

Excellent.

Why so beautiful? Ingat lagi

andami mong facts ah.may mga pala-palayok din kaming pinaglalaruan nung mga bata pa kami.maraming ganyan ang sis ko.actually,may mga gumagawa pa ng ganyan like sa tiwi,albay.kasi marami pa especially sa rural areas ang walang gasul.at correction lang po,yung america po na tinutukoy dito hindi lang ang us kundi ang buong kalakhang america (south at central america from mexico,guatemala,ecuador,dominican republic,venezuela etc). hanggang us (north america-alabama,mississippi).Spanish colonization of the Americas The Spanish colonization of the Americas began in 1493 on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola after the initial 1492 voyage of Genoese mariner Christopher Columbus under license from the Queen Isabella I of Castile. These overseas territories of the Spanish Empire were under the jurisdiction of Crown of Castile until the last territory was lost in 1898. Spaniards saw the dense populations of indigenous peoples as an important economic resource and the territory claimed as potentially producing great wealth for individual Spaniards and the crown. Religion played an important role in the Spanish conquest and incorporation of indigenous peoples, bringing them into the Christian faith peacefully or by force. The crown created civil and religious structures to administer the vast territory. Spanish colonists settled in greatest numbers where there were dense indigenous populations and the existence of valuable resources for extraction.[1]The Spanish Empire would expand across the Caribbean Islands, half of South America, most of Central America and much of North America. It is estimated that during the colonial period (1492-1832), a total of 1.86 million Spaniards settled in the Americas, and a further 3.5 million immigrated during the post-colonial era (1850-1950); the estimate is 250,000 in the 16th century and most during the 18th century, as immigration was encouraged by the new Bourbon dynasty.[2] anyway, happy chinese new year!

I noticed you are more talkative here. I mean you talk a lot. That's nice! Overcoming shyness.

It isn't brief history. It's a long history starting from 600-900 AD.

I love the way you explain, please next history connected to Korean and pH

Binondo Chinatown is the oldest in the world outside China

actually andami ko ring natutunan sa mga sinabi mo dito sa video kaya lng masyadong detalyado.medyo tinatamad na akong magsulat ng mahaba.😍kaya,in general na lang ang sinabi kong andami mong facts na sinabi.

Chinese and Filipinos have bump head long before that historical date mentioned in the vlog this is before Chinese where called Chinese and Filipinos where called Filipinos, it happen when the Chinese have learn to navigate the sea and bump into southeast Asian people, this is long before the allowed passage, stablish route and trade link with the imperial China then, the recorded dates will be the aftermath (trade accounting, administration etc.) and this are not exclusive to China other nations would have done it as well and not exclusive to Binondo as well other parts of the Philippines would traded as well, southeast Asian is just the earliest maritime sea farer in the region so the 1st. contact would have been a lot earlier, possibly a thousand years more earlier. Imperial China is located up in the north (Dry Land) the 1st. contact would have been a non imperial one but the trade records would have been imperial, there would have been a huge gap in between the two. Just Saying Folks.. Happy Chinese New Year to Everyone.. Cheers.!! ✨🎈👌👍😉😎✌.

The pre-colonial Filipinos were maritime traders that were active throughout the South China Sea that traded as far as Japan and to India hence the huge cultural exchanges such as the development of Raja in the Philippines archipelagos. Furthermore the pre-colonial Philippines were rich in resources such as gold, jade and other precious metals and stones among other things which became the one of many reasons foreign kingdoms would visit and settle in the archipelago among them from Middle East which brought Islam. Most of the pre-colonial Philippines' history were destroyed and it's resources plundered by the Spaniards and other foreign invaders but one thing is for certain that the people endured and Filipinos must take pride in that because when people endure hardships in life, they become stronger and a strong and united Philippines is unstoppable. “Give me ten thousand Filipinos and I shall conquer the world!” -General MacArthur

I am from Binondo ( my hometown) , Manila, Philippines !!

Wow the next episode or topic is the binondo district were all spanish buildings erected and become a financial district capital of the philippine before the WWII

Good to know. Well-explained. I learned a lot from this video. I can see that Filipino culture is more influenced by chinese than other colonizers

SO insightful 🤙🏽 keep up the good work Jessica 🎉💯 I guess, the next time I visit Pinas, I’ll check out this museum

there is a tranvia you can ride in las casas de acuzar in bataan

very informative... galing mag explain ❤

Impressed w/ Jessica's deep knowledge about the Philippines.. maybe you should do a content about the first Korean Saint that went to Philippines..

The majority of the people that conquered Filipinas were a mix between Spanish, Criollos of the New Spain (Mexico) Native Americans and Mestizos. The firts Spanish governor of Filipinas was a Criollo born in Mexico City.

Thanks if I have time, I will visit the Chinese Museum. There's also museum in Intramuros for ChiNoy history, like the bank, newspapers, etc.

I hope you can do an interview our newly crown Miss Earth 2022 miss Korea, to know more about her ❤

Very informative , great video!

You should go to Pampanga, Philippines, Its the culinary capital of the PH the best foods are in there!!!

The Philippines and the Filipino people has a hybrid culture.

When the Spanish came race was also a thing the Spaniards saw the Aeta called them negretos the Igorot was called the Indio and the Chinese they saw fair skin if you where Igorot for example and Chinese u where considered mestizo or mestiza also cause brown and white skin. Mix

Hi Jessica. Magellan did not discover the Philippines. There were already people living here well before that Portuguese man arrived here.

Happy Spring Festival.🐰Happy Chinese New Year.

As a Korean living in our country, you did a Good job of giving a review of the Philippines- Chinese historical past. 👍👍👍👏👏👏

it is great to see you spread knowledge about sangley phil/chi ancestry. not many people know what "sangley" is. edit: not many acknowledge they are sangley descents. the knowledge was sort of lost in time. people will go as far as saying they are spanish even (roll eyes)

yeah, the gist of ancient Philippines - indo-malay-china mixed with the locals.... then whites came. I often joke around using arroz caldo - being spanish by name but adopted chinese food and nothing to do with spanish!

For me, who lives in China and is interested in the Philippines, the video was very interesting~

Thank you for exploring binondo for us

Mam...jessica..,first come in mine what you told why...dami tanong.....why orher country have so much interest...in philippineS...un un....

My 2 boys are chinoys, its a shame they will grow up here in ph to experience discrimination and racism as i myself have experience mockery because of my ethnic background

natuto ka pa sa isang korean about sa sarili mong bansa

Gong xi fa cai! Thanks for highlighting our culture as a Chinese Filipino, Philippines and Korea are similar in that both places are heavily influenced by the Chinese Empire, Korea being a part of the Sinosphere while the Philippines being home to the world's oldest Chinatown and the location of Chinese Kingdoms called Huangdoms before the Spanish colonial period.

It's so obvious that you're reading something. You keep looking at the side. You don't have to memorize. Just be spontaneous.

Koreans are Xing Chinese that's why you celebrate Chinese New Year too on Jan 22nd. Philippines centuries ago a ethnicity of Chinese helped kicked out the Spanish that no longer exists. There are many different ethnicities of Chinese! The ones that came to the Philippines don't exist anymore (Not all are communist). Indo-Chinese traveled all the way down to Indonesia. Malay just means South East Asian from Indo-malayan/Oriental Realm.

Cavite munity chinese slaughthered more. By spanish

Jessica I am amazed with your knowledge and interest in Filipino culture, We are learning as you go on the past History of the relationship between the China and the Philippines. We consider the Chinese as our Asian Brothers as well sisters compared to the Spanish Conqueror. Oriental Prosperity is the only way we can preserve our Culture and race. We are proud of you Jessica you should pursue teaching or as a Professor in Oriental history. Philippines loves Korean, Japanese and Chinese to our Country because you bring pride and superiority to the Asians...God Bless Jessica..

The kingdom of Spain had the monolopy of trading with the America "continent," not the country. The US didn't even exist at that time.

Jez you can ba a newscaster.. in CNN.. your pronounciation is very clear..

Jessica cracking her voice while telling the similarities between the Philippines and Korea when it comes to being contested grounds for imperialist countries, and how our history reminds her of hers show how much she values learning the history of our country. Ito yung content na hindi mo madadaya for the sake of clout, simply because the topics can be personal for the vlogger herself. You can see how sincere she is with the way she's welling up on her emotions during that part.

Thank you for this information ❤ I appreciate your videos like this

Oldest china town in the world 🌎

Wow Chinese had contact with Filipinos long before the Spanish.. I am wondering what did the Chinese call the Filipinos back in the 9th century? Like before they got their country name as Phillipines, what did China or neighbouring countries call them back then?

My mom's Chinese uncle (Lee clan) business in binondo was a laundry shop. This business was introduced by many chinese immigrants in Philippines. I grew up having both pinoy and chinese culture since my Dad's side are kapampangans who were also inhabited by many Chinese and Mexican immigrants (Mexico Pampanga) for many centuries. Philippines is truly a melting pot in Asia.

Junkshop business also chinese before

In Bohol and Cebu a lot of the ancestral houses or heritage houses have curved roofs, like those of Ryukyu, it is heavily influenced by the Chinese and is unique amongst the Bisaya people. in Bisaya we call them "Tal" families, Tal in the literal sense means "full fledged", but when pertaining to families, it means very very old prominent families. The Bisaya started sending trade missions to China in the 11th century, during the Song Dynasty. Sadly a lot of these houses especially in Bohol were burnt down by the Americans during their 50 year invasion, only a few remain in Bohol and in Cebu.

Hi, Jessica! thanks for making this video in time for the Chinese New Year! 🧧🎊🐰🥟 anyway, it would also be nice if you could make a video on the Spanish-side of the history. Also maybe try watching Heneral Luna and Goyo, if you haven't done so yet! :) I really enjoyed how you explained things! have a great day!

Next about history again please

Hi Jessica 😍we saw you yesterday in riverbanks Marikina 😍❤️ Ang pretty mo 😍 nahiya kmi magpa picture Sayo haha 😅 sayang 😅

Thanks for sharing our culture, Jessica! I highly suggest next time, you can also visit Bahay Tsinoy when it reopens this year to learn more about the evolution of the Chinese Filipino culture up to the present moment. Gong xi fa cai!

Jessica is pretty and attractive

Thanks for covering Chinese history in the Philippines. Great work by your team, love it. Happy Chinese New Year! 🧡🧡🧡

Fried Lumpia my favorite.

Jose. Rizal chiineessee blood

Hi Jessica. Your videos are very informative and educational.👍👍Really enjoyed all of them. Continue what you're doing and looking forward with your next uploads.😊

You'd get in trouble in your country if they ever hear you use the term Chinese new year. Be careful.

im you jessica for philippines

This is very informative. While most of our culture are now influenced by Spain, Filipinos do not embrace the fact that we are still ethnically way more closer to China than Spain (cause a lot of Filipinos thought we have a certain amount of Spanish blood, or just because mostly have the Spanish surname). Study already shows it through DNA Ancestry.

It's a weird place, you'll see the Chinese and Spanish influences mix with the native culture

Jesica you even know more than i know about the heritage of my own country. Thanks for the knowledge learned.
