We are mostly pagans and muslim on pre Spanish era

Chris Orlino Our history was inconclusive and vague. Nothing really interesting except for the barbaric warring tribes, pillaging and plundering and etc. We are still in a brutal period in which diversity is not a commodity.

@@jaranis9273 hmm... 🤔

@@cuteredpanda00 is there any other details?

@@chrisorlino6410 there's no details about our pre Spanish era in our history our country is divided into smaller kingdoms each have their own sultan

oh :O

HAHAHAHA oral com eh

"Philippines Religion is actually Islam". I think that would be a bit difficult to substantiate for as you can see, the early friars who came to the country with the Spaniards recorded animism and even ancestral worship as one of the belief systems among the natives. Remember how it was said that since Catholicism was established among the natives, idols or "Anitos" were destroyed and burned. There was also the animistic, and pagan, belief of Diwatas served by Babaylans. Our language even provides the clue that we were also most likely, chiefly Hindu indoctrinated as evinced by the word "Bathala", sanskrit word for a god. There was also the controversial golden Hindu inspired statuette found in the South, inside a tree. However, evidences of an Islam colonised Philippines aren't enough to infer that the ENTIRE country was Islamic. The "Vinta" boats design often alluded to Islam isn't even Islamic but rather, common to many regions within ASEAN which were Hindu indoctrinated. If anything, I would even say that many parts of the country is either animists or totally non Islam. The mythical Princess Urduja in our legends, who fought bravely as a warrior, is in itself a contradiction to Islam which treats women as secondary citizens. We have cultures of dances and music and instruments which also contradict the Islamic teaching that these things are "haram" to their belief. The culture of Gongs and Kulintangs are a common fare among SouthEast Asian cultures. And the Singkil with the finger extensions similar to Balinese and Thai dances, are reminiscent of a Hindu culture that prospered in the country and South East Asia during ancient times.

those kingdoms are not muslim. they are tribal kingdoms which still exist. thier chieftain still holds the word datu but they are not muslim. there maybe stronger influence by hinduism since most of our ancient artifacts shows it.

Neil Castro true, because of spreading christianity,

@@RM-th9ur This isn't exactly true though. How can we say we didn't have much history if it was overtaken by Spanish history? We may not have been as big as the countries you've mentioned but it was history nonetheless.

So bawal maging modern ang mga Tribal people sa bansa para Lang ma “preserve” ang culture? The bearers of culture have the right to replace it with a new one. If a child from the tribe wants to have his own house car an office job is he only limited to preserving his culture?

Katoliko ka din naman

feudalism is 6 centuries long dead, its your ignorance makes you miserable dumdumb

bakit?, anyari?

In my own mind, I think the country and Manila wasn't just ravaged and broken into a million pieces by the last war. Our biggest enemy now is the ebbing morality from within society and from within the government. Our public officials have only one kind of morality in mind, the morality of their own survival and the proliferation of their own kind.

I think if he was really intellectual he wouldn't have posted what he did about that nurse from makmed. Honestly see this I was really thinking some thing more along the lines of "wow! They'll REALLY let anyone on tedx won't they?"

+Keisam Bautista This makes me laugh so hard

Ummm, no... It's Manila. Any Manileña/o would've known. I mean, c'mon! The Agrifina Circle and Hospicio de San Jose is right there. That coffin-shaped building you see is Manila City Hall. But, I get it. It's easy to mistake Manila for any European city back then because that's how beautiful Manila was before World War 2.

Danilo Fausto oongyan

Terry Mance precisely

BEcause before Hispanic there was no Manila. Manila was founded with Spain by Legazpi

@@luismartinpomares2936 wasn't there a kingdom of manila with rajah sulayman as the leader?

Sa amin dine sa Quezon ay makakarinig ka pa ng mga sinaunang wika. Kahiman sa mga kabataan. Sa ibang pook gaya ng Batangas, ang mga nakatatanda na lamang ang nariringgan ko ng mga malalalim at sinaunang wika. Sa Kalakhang Maynila ang mga tao'y lubhang makabago na kaya't naglahok-lahok na ang mga wika.

that is why most filipino suffer from identity crisis

But this is their origin.its in their history,so its nothing less than filipino. Many south american countries were also invaded by spain,they don't have identity crisis because they have churches etc?philippines is unique,its the only catholic country with the mix in asia.where else can you find such a cultural mix in asia?nowhere. Thank god spain invaded ph,otherwise it became muslim.

I don't think he wished it. Dunce pinoys always take it literally...many dullards in the country. He could have just said it another way...a metaphor maybe.

@@thesenator777 You got it wrong, dude. Have you seen his tweet? I bet you haven't. Check his tweet again. "Good. Now die. Please. Kthanxbye." He tweeted that, reacting to the CNN Philippines' tweet about PRRD's autoimmune disease myasthenia gravis. Saying "now die" is not a metaphor in anyway. He wished PRRD to die the soonest. A lot of people know he is against PRRD.

Hahahaha

Tight blue jeans and black t-shirt in a university presentation? Is that your teaching style in UP?

leapdrive Lighten up. He doesn't have to dress for success. It's the message. Carlos is the best thing Manila has going for it.

He is? That's the problem with our currently lax world of secularism and lack of decorum. Nothing is taken seriously except the attack or innuendo

innuendoes on the Catholic Church. All is made seemingly harmless but in reality, wicked.

leapdrive I personally think there's nothing wrong with wearing blue jeans and black shirt on a talk-staged presentation... And i'm pretty sure that they don't teach how-to-wear-clothes-in-terms-of-the-norms in Diliman, I'm sure they're busy teaching something else, something that matters.
