I don’t know if it was better it certainly was more difficult to travel and understand things. When you only have a guidebook it’s just one opinion although I did watch Lonely Planet tv episodes as well

Yes but I would counteract that with people now travel in different ways whereas before backpackers followed the Lonely Planet bible and those writers barely got paid anything and some didn’t even stay in or visit places because they couldn’t afford it. I do appreciate the days especially in the Philippines but I’m happy to also be a content creator and help people who have the same interests as me find special places.

your videos are so informative and enjoyable, Thanks Ayngelina.

BTW Manila also has a Muslim Town near the Manila Golden Mosque in Quiapo and they have halal food and cuisine from Mindanao. They are quite affordable and delicious as well.

Filipinos actually are part Indonesian. 50% of Filipinos have Indonesian DNA. They are our brothers. Had we not been colonized we could have been one nation. My language (not Tagalog) has a lot of similar words with bahasa Indonesia. We look alike too.

Pancit is the yellow noodle, right?

Manila was a community of Hindus and Muslims living inside the place now called Intramuros. The Spanish sent five more expedition after Magellan. They landed in Cebu on 1565 then they were told that there is another community in the north bigger than Cebu. Rajah Solayman was the leader of Manila during the attack of the spanish.The Spanish conquered Manila with the help of the Cebuanos and the Spanish built Intramuros in 1572. Then the Chinese pirates came and attacked Intramuros in 1574. Martin de Goite who was responsible for conquering Manila was killed by the Chinese pirates. In 1646 the Dutch invaded Manila but they retreated because of the valiant defense of the Spanish and Filipinos. 1772 the British came and attacked Intramuros and they succeed. The Philippines was under the British rule for two years. 1898 the Americans came and defeated the Spanish. 1942 the Japanese imperial army attacked manila and we were under the Japanese rule for 3 years. 1945 the Americans liberated the Philippines. Many Filipinos have died in that small place alone. During the American liberation one hundred thousand Filipinos died in Intramuros alone.

Well he’s a brief one. I am from a small town of 5000 people in Canada on the Atlantic ocean. When I finished university I wanted to travel the world but I had no money. The government had international internships to give Canadians global experience and a company wanted me but asked would you like to go to the Philippines or Malaysia. I thought, aren’t they the same? So I looked up the Philippines on very slow dial up internet and saw a beach so I chose Cebu. But obviously I was shocked I wasn’t working in an office on the beach but on the 4C Jeepney route. And a couple months in I needed to go to Kuala Lumpur for work and realized oh it’s very very different. This is why the government had this program because Canadians didn’t know the world or how to work with other cultures. I made many mistakes but learned a lot.

First of all thank you for your video its very informative. However about your order of colonization Spain is not the first colonizers at first the Philippines was part of Indonesia. The first colonizers were the indigenous people of Taiwan. 2nd the Malay from Malaysia, some people of Africa, the major colonizers Hindu from India came with the royal bloodlines and set up kingdom the datu a royal place set up in Tondo, as the Muslims came to the south hundreds of years before the Spanish before Spain the Philippines were always a warring each other Spain came conquered and colonized they ebolished waring states and united the whole country be a 1 governing rule. Contrary by popular belief it was not common that the Spanish inter married with the natives it seldom happened only 2% of the country inherit Spanish blood. Your not Spanish just because you have a Spanish surename. The colonizers declared the islands to be Christian so they missioned the people baptized them and gave them Spanish Christian names and thats how they got Spanish names not by birth. Like how africans were given slave names by slave owners. A Christian name in order to make them civilized so with filipinos
