About Kirby:
Kirby Pábalan-Táyag Aráullo is a renowned Filipino Culture Bearer and currently the National Coordinator for Culture and Heritage for NAFCON (National Alliance for Filipino Concerns). He is a Dátû and Lakan by blood, and an Activist at heart. Kirby is a direct descendant of the last Paramount Kings of Luzon (of both Lakandúlâ of Tondo and Rája Matandá of Maynílâ), and of the anti-colonial revolutionary Katipuneros and World War II Guerilyeras who fought for the liberation of the Philippines from colonialism. His upbringing exposed him to the contradicting worlds of traditional politics and grassroots activism.
With a keen interest in varying fields (such as history, government, and human rights) and a strong commitment to serve the community, Kirby studied in some of the world’s most prestigious institutions, such as the University of California, Davis, Harvard University, and Université catholique de Louvain. Kirby is also the Co-Founder of the Bulosan Center for Filipino Studies at UC Davis and author of the groundbreaking book “Black Lives & Brown Freedom: Untold Histories of War, Solidarity, & Genocide.” He is a visiting professor at various colleges in the Philippines and a research fellow with Ágúman Sínúpan Singsing, an institute for indigenous advocacy and the study of Kapampángan language, history, and culture. Kirby is also well-known for his educationally engaging KZread channel where you can find videos about history, culture, and everything in between!
Dátû Kirby is an educator who is well-rooted in his culture and passionate about his colorful heritage (Kapampángan, Tagálog, Indigenous Áytá, Pangasinan, and Spanish-Basque-Portuguese Mestizo); he strives to decolonize Philippine history and democratize Ethnic Studies through knowledge and creativity.

    7:28 I like this depiction of Datu Lapulapu. He looks like a proper datu. Too often he's depicted as a bare chested young man with barely a hint of regalia that would show that he was man with power. The two most important things are his age and armour. Even in modern times, datus are either old or middle-age because you usually inherit the title from a parent... and there's no way that a datu would go to battle without wearing as much armour as the weather would allow.

    True, the process of decolonizing is a long and difficult one especially to those thick headed people who want to keep things as they are (status quo) not really thinking 🤔 about making a more dignified future for their descendants to be inspired by It lacks public support and action and initiative on a large scale because our REAL history has been denied 🙅 easy access to the “free peoples” of this nation, our own Education system is guilty of this when that should be one of the many institutions that should inspire proper nation building; which resulted in this really pathetic lack of awareness of our own histories and cultures before colonialism it’s so Shameful and embarrassing like liking the USA 🇺🇸 the most out of all people groups despite the fact that they have actually committed a lot of crimes against the “Filipino” people (war crimes and experimentations) and has further degraded our sense of humanity like treating us like “Little brown Americans” or cheap slave labor and Monkeys 🐒 that are paraded around the Human Zoos Based on my experiences on the internet with those who have been interested in the Colonial phase, I know what you really mean 😞 😞 😢 😢 and this is all the more reason as to why this sovereign nation-state has to change it’s colonial name to something more dignified inspiring and has to be one that reflects the whole history of the peoples of the would be Philippine archipelago 🇵🇭 like “Lusbiminda” (Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao) If other countries can change their colonial name like Ceylon to Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 why can’t we do the same when we should as a sovereign nation-state where we can make our own choices and decisions?

    Our native wooden shield called Kalasag is not just a simple plank-made shield of other states, kingdoms and empires during those times. Our shield was made from hardwood, still meticulously chosen among many cutted hardwoods, then there will be rituals conducted etc. The hardwood chosen will then be carved into a shield, not planks joined together of other states back then, it was a single purpose built shield. It was then reinforced with rattan lashings and lastly coated with resin that will further strengthen it. Kalasag should be one of the things back then during the precolonial times that we should be proud of too.

    As a Pinoy and fellow Capampangan, I really appreciate your videos. It is refreshing to get a erudite Filipino perspective on our country's history. There really needs to be a counterbalance to the ubiquitous propaganda and disinformation spread by western media, authors and historians about the Philippines. Please keep up the great work. I have always wondered if Magellan underestimated the Filipino weaponry and fighting skills due to their great success in previous battles against the Inca and Aztec empires in Latin America. I had read once that, the Spaniards estimated, thanks to superior weaponry, that 1 Spanish soldier could take on as many as 50 indigenous warriors in Latin America. Natives such as the Incas only had blunt and stone weapons to fight against the Spanish soldiers equipped with firearms, armor and canons. And before the Spaniards arrived, they only fought each other. The mighty Aztecs primarily hunted other tribes to acquire slaves to sell or for religious sacrifices. In contrast, already having been introduced to the Damascus steel pattern welding process, Filipino bladesmiths forged the the fearsome Kris and Kampilan that would strike down Magellan and his crew (as witnessed by Pigafetta). The Filipino warriors had already developed advanced fighting systems over years of repelling myriads of foreign invaders even before the Spaniards arrived. So if Magellan relied on such an estimate then It makes sense that he would have been very confident in engaging up to 2,500 indigenous warriors with only 50 spanish soldiers. So based on this calculation, I would argue that the Spaniards actually were the ones that had the overwhelming numbers. Theoretically Magellan had two and a half times the number to defeat LapuLapu. So it makes the argument that the Filipinos won due to their superior military strategy even stronger. It would be great to hear your comments from a historical point of view on this. Saludos desde Espana! from a Capampangan living in Sevilla (the great city from which Magellan and El Cano sailed to the Philippines). Dacal a salamat.

These types of wood are used in boatmaking, which is very perfect for sailing. As they are light and strong, i think they used this for shields

    The wooden shields of the Pre-Colonial Visayans of the time, they called it kalasag. According to William Henry Scott's "Barangay: Sixteenth Century Philippine Society and Culture", they were made of: "...a light, corky wood which was very fibrous so as to enmesh any spear or dagger which penetrated it, and it was generally considered swordproof." Scott also added that, "It was strengthened and decorated with rattan binding coated with a resinous pitch, and of sufficient size to give full body protection-about 50 to 150 cm." So these shields, if they were able to at least stop Spanish crossbow bolts and at times, even arcabuz (arquebus) rounds, were of strong build. Since the wood is not only fibrous, it even had a layer of rattan binding, which is used for furniture today and it's sturdy, along with resins from trees.

When people asks me where I'm from... i would answer even today, "..... i was born in the city across from where Fernando Magallanes [Ferdinand Magellan] never left..." And i add, "...i may even be related to Lapulapu..." Daghang salamat Sir Kirby for depicting Visayans as brave seafaring warriors... Just too bad the Spaniards' ploy of setting one tribe against another really worked in their favor... And it's still working.... divisions come in myriad forms, color deviations and the difference in hues, religions, denominations, spoken dialects... Like if the Malacanyang Palace was in Cebu City, like it started in the 1600s before the capital was moved to Maynilad... Aaaahhh... too much wishful thinking on my part... The great difficulty is agreeing on the name of the whole archipelago. ... HAHA. ... What i know is this... There are many Filipinos sprinkled around the world... i vaguely remember stories about my grandfather Felix Goc-ong leaving Sugbu around 1925 for Honolulu on a dakung bapor and returning to Cebu in 1947 the same way.

    I have doubt that the early Visayans never used firepower against Magellan and the Europeans before because arquebusses and our version of canon known as lantakas were already in use throughout the islands. If projectile weapons didn't exist back then, we wouldn't have the native word for gun - 'baril' (Tagalog) or 'pusil' (Visayan) which is actually Tamil in origin. Sometimes the origin of the word tells us some very interesting stories about our culture that is often ignored in our history books

    I looked it up and it came from the Tamil word “Vedil” meaning Explosion 💥 then “Baril” meaning Gun in Tagalog True, the process of decolonizing is a long and difficult one especially to those thick headed people who want to keep things as they are (status quo) not really thinking 🤔 about making a more dignified future for their descendants to be inspired by From what I’ve seen, de-colonization lacks public support and action and initiative on a large scale because our REAL history has been denied 🙅 easy access to the “free peoples” of this nation, our own Education system is guilty of this when that should be one of the many institutions that should inspire proper nation building (it should have been reformed a long time ago to produce productive citizens not cheap labor to be exploited); which resulted in this really pathetic lack of awareness of our own histories and cultures before colonialism it’s so Shameful and embarrassing like liking the USA 🇺🇸 the most out of all people groups at 92% despite the fact that they have actually committed a lot of crimes against the “Filipino” people (war crimes and experimentations) and has further degraded our sense of humanity like treating us like “Little brown Americans” or cheap slave labor and Monkeys 🐒 that are paraded around the Human Zoos

    Philippines was colonized not because the people are ignorant, weak or whatever was portrayed. Far from that. Filipinos are brave, smart, ingenious and resilient. Philippines was colonized because there is division among the people. So to move forward, we must learn from the past, we have to unite and choose the leaders wisely. We have information now but be aware also of the disinformation and misinformation.

    Thank you kabayan for this wonderful video. I just want to present this tradition among the Cebuanos which I heard when I stayed at Mandaue for summer classes. Some Cebuanos say that Lapu-Lapu killed Magellan by smashing the latter's head with a pestle which Cebuanos call "alho." In fact, Datu Lapu-Lapu was also known, according to that tradition, as "Bali-Alho" which means "pestle-breaker" because they say Lapu-Lapu can break a pestle, which is made of hardwood, with bare hands. I don't know if this tradition is true but it might worth investigating. Another thing that I want to raise is about the case of Marrano Jews who fled to the Philippines during the Spanish era. I heard some Filipinos claiming to be descendants of the Marranos. Can you please make a video of this, whether this story is true or not?

Marahil nakatuon lang kasi ang ating pansin sa kung ano ang dahilan at sa mga mismong naganap. Bagkus, hindi sa aral. Sabi nga ni Ambeth Ocampo, (base sa srili kong interpretasyon), hindi totoo ang kasabihang 'History repeats itself.' Tayo lang ang umuulit ng kasaysayan. Bakit? Dahil hindi tayo natututo.

    I highly doubt that there was a 1500 warriors back then. Magellan is not stupid enough to fight a highly disadvantageous battle.

    Kirby, what do you think about the many attempts in changing the country’s colonial name? There have been many attempts to change the colonial name (from Bonifacio’s Katagalugan to President Duterte reviving the proposal of ex-President Marcos Sr. “Maharlika” that’s Sanskrit though-there’s an Asian Boss video about the topic) but none of them succeeded why is that? What are your initial thoughts about it? Why keep the colonial name that only represents a bygone era and makes a group of people look like they were and still are enslaved? Based on my experiences on the internet with those who have been interested in the Colonial phase, their colonial mentality makes me sad 😞 😞 😢 😢 and enraged 😠 😡 and this is all the more reason as to why this sovereign nation-state has to change it’s colonial name to something more dignified inspiring and has to be one that reflects the whole history of the peoples of the would be Philippine archipelago 🇵🇭 like “Lusbiminda” (Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao) If other countries can change their colonial name like Ceylon to Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 why can’t we do the same when we should as a sovereign nation-state where we can make our own choices and decisions?

The Spaniards and Americans were no longer holding us and their poeple today's not the same poeple as before, learn how to move on and just learn the leassons of the past whether it's bad or good.

    First of all, I want to say that Kirby Araullo is an author and an author makes his living by selling his books. Yes, he is educated but that is about all. Common sense will tell you not to believe everything you are told and only half of what you see. Kirby is a Muslim so he tends to glorify the Muslims and especially the history of the Muslims as seen thru his eyes and those of many other present day Muslims. With that said, there is no authentic documented history of the Philippines prior to Magellan's landing. Consider the source when you hear or read about Philippine history. Yes, there are historians but like Kirby, this is how they earn their living. Magellan went to the islands to "colonize" them for King Philip of Spain. He went in peace and not for battle. He arrived in 3 ships but 2 f them were anchored in another part of the island. He went to Mactlan in one ship and the crew. He and a few of his crew left the ship and continued in small boats because the water was too shallow for his ship. Lapu Lapu, a Muslim heard of his planned arrival and gathered over a thousand natives to attack and massacre Magellan and his crew, which they did. Is this a heroic act? I don't think so. Documented history tells us that this was the beginning of the end for Muslim control of the Philippines. History also tells us that Spanish culture was introduced in the Philippines and even to this day it remains. History also tells us that these were prosperous times for the Philippines. Would the Muslims have been able to defend the Philippines against the Japanese? Many Muslims have adapted to life in the Philippnes under the present system. Christians, Muslims, Hindu, Buddhists and others all live peacefully now. Well, not exactly, there are still NPA, and Muslim bandits that still have not adapted.
