This is an excellent piece of background info about the origin of this tradition. When you mentioned victory of light over darkness, it reminds me of India's Diwali festival: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diwali. I have a feeling that our Christian tradition has strong roots on this Indian tradition because after all, our precolonial identity is shaped by Hindu-Buddhist culture that we carried over to our present beliefs today. I think it is time to dig in to our Hindu-Buddhist past and rekindle our ancient cultural connections with India and SE Asia.
buti na lang talaga meron gantong channel dito sana maging malaki pa yung channel mo idol kasi madaling maunawaan at marami din akong natututunan sau salamt lods
Hello po, kuya Kirby! Based on the "Vocabulario de la Lengua Tagala," I think the Kapampangan "Dáun" has a Katagalugan counterpart called "Bongoy," which was the act of offering to the Anito. If anyone can correct me or what you think about this, please let me know. Thanks!
Saktong sakto po ang videos nyo para simulan ko ang aking research about origin ng parol... Ggmitin ko po sana ang videos nyu bilang inspiration sa research ko po
HI, I read everyone comments, I'm also from Region 3 but Tagalog. I'm impressed with your knowledge on history. Can speak and read Spanish. Anyway, I enjoy this short vlog of yours. Muchos Gracias, Maraming Salamat.
Hello po sir kirby, now ko lang po na discover yung channel nio and I was stunned to a mga new learnings an nalaman ko about my own country these kinds of information ay hindi naituturo sa schools kaya I realized that I have so much to learn If ok lang po hehehe just want these topics po sa next vids nio po + Ganap in the middle of 333 years As I surf trough the history of the Philippines I've noticed po na and laman lamang po madalas sa part na nasakop po tayo ng mga espanyol ay ung history noong pagdating nila (panahon ni lapu-lapu) at ang wakas (panahon ng ating pambansang bayani). Pero wala pong nasusulat na specific events sa pagitan nung 333 years. Surely there are some pinoy who tried den naman po sa mga panahong yon na hindi lamang nagtagumpay. or any other events po sa panahon na iyon + Luzon Great Wall Actually I am not sure about this pero once po may nabasa po ako online and napanood din ata dito sa yt na aside from the walled city intramuros mayroon na daw pong mahabang walls na naitayo sa luzon noon bago pa dumating ang mga kastila, Ang natatandaan ko pa po doon is ang proof daw po ay yung mga ruins na makikita sa may bandang katubigan po na pinaniniwalaang dating pader. is it true po? I have a lot of questions pa po and i hope po na I can find the answers with you po SALAMATS
I really appreciate the contents and subjects of your videos. They are both informative and educational without boring your viewers to death. Now, I am really missing Christmas in the Philippines though I know that so much changed since then.
Studying high school in the Philippines, I've always loved history. Hated the memorization part but always loved the "lessons" I learned. I was more curious to know the why's and the how's instead of the what's and the when's although I know that they are part and parcel of each event to establish facts rather than myths or fictions. I remember many years ago how I would spend so much time hanging out all day (and night) with my childhood friend who (loves history and) tells me stories about World War I and II. It was fascinating and fun. Sad that even though I have been living more than half of my life abroad and now based in Canada, I still long to discover and rediscover the richness of our culture and history. I hope I can meet and hang out with you someday when I take my vacation so that I can hear and learn more from an expert in this field.
This is so true. Women and other diverse gender are treated equally with Men in Ancient Philippines. Can you also feature Philippine Mythology and their stories? Lets go back to our roots.
Hi kuya Kirby,more videos pa po sana na eenjoy ko po Kasi Ang video mo at Ang galing ng accent. Anyway Isa din po akung vloger, My content is sharing motivational message inspirational quotes and most of all is sharing God's words ❤️
sana ay baguhin na ang mga libro sa mga school at ituro ang tunay na kasaysayan ng ating bansa. At ituro ang tunay na calligraphy ng ating mga ninuno sa mga kabataan ngayon.
i think it dates before 1908. If the Spanish came in the 1500s its likely not to have been there only at 1900 in Pampanga. I think it was everywhere that there was a church and the star spread everywhere in the PH. Hence, the Parol popularity.
Ganito yan naging kalaban kasi ng mga katipunero ang mga kapampangan ginawa kasing sundalo ng mga español ang mga yan tapos noong tinalo na sila ng katipunan binansagang dugong aso ng mga tagalog ang mga kapampangan dahil sa pagiging sunud-sunoran sa mga español
Hi po, thank you sa pagtuturo sa amin ng history. May ma-suggest lang po ako, pwede nyo po bang i-cover yung mga different emperors and kings in our archipelago like Andres Novales or Florencio Intrechadero? As far as I know, the former inspired Rizal with his actions. Salamat po!
May nabasa po kasi akong article na dati nga pong naka display sa old Burke Museum ang Philippine Parol and considered as a philippine artifact , and ngayon nakakapagtaka po na wala ns raw po iyon sa Burke Museum. Topic ko po kasi ang poral sa school act ko.
Sana lahat Ng history teachers nag aaral...Hindi lang Yung iisang textbook Ang binabasa...buti pala magaling Yung teacher ko...napapaagree ako sa mga turo mo... kudos,,mas malalim Ang baul mo..can you write a book of your vlogs Professor
i don't know if you first write what you're gonna say or just go on the fly, but your latter videos are often with more information than the former. Please make each videos acceissible to Deaf, Hard-Of-Hearing, Deaf-Blind, non-Kapampangans, and Pinoy(s)/Pinay(s)-at-Heart
Next naman po yung mga Iba-ibang Iskriptura natin at kung pano yung sistema ng pagsulat ng Kulitan, di ko alam kung pahalang o pababa yung pagsulat hahaha.
2 years ago, I went to Cambodia and saw alot of Parols there. I asked the local why do they have these lanterns similar to our Parols... They told us that they display that during their New Year.
Hi Prof. Thanks for sharing your expertise about Philippines' linguistic-cultural anthropology. This is a big contribution for this generation to understand our practices and traditions. It is sad that we are losing our identity at a fast pace because of technology, globalisation, and social media. What is worse is how they label certain values and practices as Filipino toxic culture without understanding first what they mean. May I suggest you to discuss the so-called Filipino toxic practices such as respect to the elderly, resilience, family ties, interdependence, face, humility and how they are not toxic but beautiful values and practices and that the minds of these people have just been fooled by western imperialism. Thanks Prof. From a fellow college teacher
Farol is from Latin pharus. The word Pharus is from the Greek word Pharos, Pharos came from the name of the island near the port of Alexandria, where the most famous lighthouse in antiquity was constructed during the reign of Ptolomy I, who was a general under Alexander the Great
so are you saying Kapampangans are NOT Filipino? so does that mean that the Visayans are also not Filipino? What about the Ifugaos? the Lumads? the Ilocanos? the Bicolanos?
@@matalino3614 what I'm saying is the history he mentioned is rather local and kind of trivial. If He will go deeper into why lanterns were being lit up for the dead, that would be more interesting. How is it related to the other lanterns in Southeast Asia. If it's really for the dead, does it have anything to do with Philippines' austronesian roots? If so, is it related to any ritual being done in Taiwan, esp their aborigines. Plus if the lighting of lanterns was a Filipino thing, can he cite me other ethnic tr8bes in the Philippines that practice it? What are the tribal differences of the Ivatans, the Ifugaos, the Warays, etc etc etc? After all the tribes of the Philippines have its distinct pagan/animistic practices of the past, how were they manifested in the past per province/tribe? Plus the lace thing??? If not for the fact the Spain colonized the Philippines, the Philippines wouldn't have been introduced to lace design.
Paanong hindi nauukol sa title ang binahagi niya? Eh kung yun naman talaga ang common na paniniwala ng mga tao tungkol sa mga parol ke tama ke mali, bahagi yun ng kasaysayan ng parol. At kung naintindihan mong mabuti yung video, kaya niya binaggit yun bilang intro. Ganoon kasi dapat, simulan sa mga bagay na pamilyar, para mas maunawaan.
