My first lesson on the history of the Philippines under Spanish colonial rule was through my Filipina wife, though it's just a snippet. With your documentary, I learned a lot. You're a great storyteller! Keep it up!

This is such a great vlog/docuseries about Filipinos in Madrid. We learned so much about Dr. Rizal and how the Spanish-Filipino culture infused itself in Spain.

Ang ganda ng flow ng story telling mo gretch!!!❤ very clear and engaging!

42:22 - Nakita ko itong restaurant sa vlog ni Mark Weins. Nahirapan pa si Mark makapasok dahil mahaba ang pila. Samantalang ikaw, Gretchen Ho, exclusive mong napasok ang restaurant ng ikaw lamang. Napakahusay ng iyong video. Nakakamangha. In-extend mo ang News Journalism skills mo dito sa channel mo. Isang special documentary ang ginawa mo. We are so proud of you. Keep making this kind of vlog.

Muchas gracias Grechen por hacer este documental sobre la cultura de Madrid y la influencia que tiene los españoles a Filipinas. Soy española-filipina. Pero siempe I'm a proud filipina parin. 🇪🇦🇵🇭❤

Grabe, naiyak ako. Nakaka proud na may Dr.Jose Rizal tayo.

Muchísimas gracias por este vídeo, ojalá que puedo visitar España muy pronto 🤩

This documentary video is educational, many young viewers would learning the history of the Philippines and Spain. We knew that some of the youth are lazy to read so, this is good for them. Thank you for sharing this with us❤

Spain is awesome, I went there for a holiday with my children, Costa Brava and Mallorca, and now my children are grown up they are still making a holiday in Spain. Spain is our favorite place. We felt safe and not boring. About history we did not care much but we visited a lot of places. a lot of Germans have their vacation houses in Costa Blanca and the rich one in Marbella. We love the spanish food and we were pampered in the hotel.

Also an auxiliar de conversación here. Thanks for mentioning that we’re the English teachers now in this country and the ambassador even recognized us.😊 For the history part, you got the right person, Quino, to ask about Rizal’s life in Madrid.😃 Nice episode.

Grabe ang galing mo, Gretchen. Dami ko nalaman❤❤❤.

We were in Spain in 2018 and saw most of the places featured here as well as ate in Botin whereby we (since tourists) were serenaded by a group of good looking and talented medical students who do this as their part time jobs. Back then we didn’t have any tour guide and did the rounds on our own. Now I have a better understanding of what significance those places are that we visited. I appreciate this so much.

History, food, language, and travel. KZread never fails me to amaze. As someone who's currently learning Spanish. I tend to appreciate Spain more lately. ❤

Finally! I love your channel, so much substance. It's true, Philippines was the Paris of Asia and our country would've been as beautiful as some European country if we had rebuilt it the way it was before the war.

Oo nga. Kulang na kulang ang Pilipinas sa information sa tourism. Ni walang tourist office na mapupuntahan to ask for info on a particular destinations. Or even a simple map of a city or how to navigate the roads or available hotels.

Retracing back Rizal's footprint in Madrid gives me goosebumps and pride that Spain gave him the recognition in spite of the fact that our country during those times was just one of their colonies. Great job Gretchen!

@@simpaticaafilipina The basis of your argument is because you read it from an article. Have you ever thought that the authors of what you read are just making assumptions and not stating some facts? Answer these 2 questions: 1. How did the Philippines bacame a province of Spain? 2. Why did the Philippines fought Spain for its independence if it was a legal province and not its colony?

@simpaticaafilipina

@@louiep9295 first of all it was not the whole Philippines that fought for independence. The Visayans and Rizal did not fight for it, only the Katipuneros did and they are mostly from Luzon. The Visayans did not want to be independent from Spain at all because they were loyal to Spain. After all, so many of them had a good life. Even Rizal did not flight to have independence, he just wanted Reforms as he saw how different it was in the Mother country compare to the Philippines. Also you look for it yourself .. Look for Provincias de Ultra Mar de España so you will have answers for your question. It's not just any article because that article is in a Spanish museum. Why do you think the Filipinos have the privilege of acquiring the Spanish citizenship after only 2 years of residence in Spain ? Because the Filipinos were Spanish during the Spanish era.

Nice episode! Next to the Philippines, Spain is the closest country to my heart. Muchas gracias para este documental! ❤🎉

Sayang I wasn’t able to take videos when I was in Barcelona year 2010! 🤩 now that I’m into vlogging, I now regret that cuz now it’s too far na pala from Pinas. I flew there twice when I was still a cabin crew for Qatar Airways. Didn’t enjoy the job but I really do love to travel! Love love this travel documentary. Thanks Ms. Gretchen Ho! 🥰 Edit: Kitchie Nadal performed in the bar where I also used to sing before in Marikina year 2008. Those were the days! 🤩

Galing ng pagka edit at ang flow ng story maganda. Nagtour kami ng Madrid noong Nov. 2019 before the pandemic shut down. I’ve been to those places that you’ve shown. I love the food , very accessible lahat. Galing public transportation at mababait ang mga Espanol. Galing ng producer at writer ng show mo. Very informative. Keep up the good work.🎉

Amazing docu po Gretchen love the stories of our kababayans, good job as always 👍😄😁

Maraming salamat dito, Ms. Gretchen at sa buong team! Napaka-immersive at informative! Gracias!!! 🤩 (Also as a Spanish language enthusiast, I recognized Sir Joaquin De Jesus from his cool blog called Hecho Ayer 🤩Galing! Salamat din po, sir! Mabuhay ka!)

Ang galing👏👏👏 Yes nabitin😊 Masaya kami na your back again in KZread Woman in action as always

Sana lahat malibot mo po lahat ng bansa ate gret and to show history of the country. ❤

Sobrang ganda ng flow ng story. Made me want to travel or even work in Spain. 🥺🤍

Madrid es la mejor ciudad de Europa para los pinoys. De Madrid al cielo!!

I've been to Spain myself (Barcelona), that's why I really enjoyed watching this vlog. For us Filipinos, it won't be hard to converse in Spanish maski broken pa 'yan kasi nga most of our Tagalog language is synonymous with Spanish. My father is a "chabacano" born in Cavite City, PHIL. so I really enjoyed my trip in Barcelona kasi ang sarap mag "Habla Español." I just wished I visited Madrid too at the time I've lived in Europe. Ang galing mo Gretchen and your editing team, this video was professionally made; clarity, color, etc. More power to you and for sure will watch more of your vlogs!!

I LOVE SPAIN LIKE MY BELOVED COUNTRY .Manolo

MORE VLOGS TO COME PLS!! THE EDIT, THE VIBES, EVERYTHING IS SO *chef’s kiss 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻

Keep traveling so you keep educating us Filipinos as well about other places in the world

Me encanta Madrid! Viva España y Las Islas Filipinas!

How come I only seen this today? I’ve been a History lover, and I love our history the most especially about our heroes, mainly Jose Protacio Rizal Mercado y Alonso Realonda. This made me cry and overwhelmed with all the information regarding our connection with Spain.

La Indolencia de Filipinas (tamad daw mga pinoy) during Rizal's time is a time-honored misconception of the Spanish rulers about the indios (locals). Our culture is Oriental and not the frenzied Western culture. We are more laid-back, relaxed and happy people that Westerners mistake for indolence of the people. Tama, we are not. We work our ass as weather permits and as opportunities exist (abroad or locally). We thrive and adapt anywhere we are in the world today.

The Portuguese, Spanish, Italians, French, nd Latinos are just as laid back as Filipinos, if not more. They get more vacation days and time off than Filipinos. Filipinos can be late, or slow, but we barely take vacations.

Really enjoying the content WiA puts out! Very entertaining and enlightening. This show is such a gem.

I'm such a fan of your work, and it inspires me a lot. I look forward to Part 2. Maraming salamat Gretchen and team. Proud Pinoy from SoCal and looking forward to retiring in Valencia or Barcelona in a few years \m/

Worthy to watch and share. Thank you for doing this documentary. Young generation will enjoy watching this too 😊 because your story telling is fun and educational at the same time 😀

I find your show very enjoyable, excellently written and produced. You are very articulate and engaging. You are very natural and at ease. This show is perfect for Senior Citizens like me. Congratulations and I look forward to travelling with you via You Tube.

There was never a dull moment watching this episode dami kong natutunan about Rizal's history. Wala palang keso ang ensaymada ng Spain. Salamat Gretchen dahil naexplore ko ang Spain dahil dito. Ang yaman pala ng kultura ng Spain.

¡Me encanta esa versión de "Huwag na huwag mong sasabihin"!❤ Espero que esa versión (traducido en español) también se publique en Filipinas.

Exactly my thoughts! Kung marunong lang tayo magpahalaga sa ating nakaraan. Here in Spain protected talaga lahat ng mga buildings like di basta2x nababago ang facade. Sa loob sí, pwedeng ma renovate.

Rizal

Hindi ito vlog,, show na ni Gretchen to, you own it, galing ng pagkakaexplaine, informative tlaga, bumalik ung kabataan k habang ngaaral ng aralin panlipunan tongkol sa mfa bayani especially jose rizal

Nkaaalala ang Espanya noong nsa U.S Navy ko nadistino ko sa Base Naval De Rota sa Southern Spain malapit sa matanda siyudad ng Cadiz noong 1969-71. Nilibot ko halos ang Espanya mula sa Jerez dela Frontera, San Lucar De Barrameda, Sevilla, Madrid, Barcelona, Malaga, Valencia, Granada at Cordoba. Yun Granvia sa Madrid ang pangalan ay Avenida Jose Antonio. Sa Kita ko sa youtube iba na ang Espanya dme ng mga Tourist at karamihan casual lng mg suot at dati konti lng mga tourist at mga Espanol pag lumabas ng kalye mga nka Suits at indi casual sila mag damit. Si kbayan nood sa California USA 😊
