I will never forgive the Spanish ;_;
Tulip niggers fucked you over. Go after them.
>>221761349Did we? I was taught that Jesus was here during his teenage years and we have been Catholics way before Europe does.
>>221761349did they really have temples? phillippines seems like the backwater of SEA
>>221761366Shut up Juarez, I blame the actual Spanish, not their mongrel spawn
Without temples or beautiful colonial cities, it seems like a tragedy, as if your country were as valuable as a Walmart
>>221761388Way worse than a backwater. We don't even had a writing system and the ones they claim to have found is most likely made up along the way.Filipino history is brutal. There was never any emphasis on reading and writing, only enslaving that it's still prevalent today. Filipinos are a race whose entire purpose is to stay in the ground and wipe geriatric asses while other races are meant to explore the stars, invent technology and spread literature.
>>221761349I don't know I think churches are cool too. Some of the oldest churches in the Philippines are almost as old as the later candis in Indonesia
>>221761349FAFO, most powerful race my ass.
>>221762285stop selfhating bro, filipinos shoul be proud even with random people with 2% of filipino genes
>>221761388Apparently the Phillipines used to have Hindu/Buddhist temples. Blew my mind when I first learned about it. I always saw the Phillipines as just Mexico in Asia
>>221762285Stop self-hating bro, your ancestors had rich knowledge of the stars and mathematics
>>221762617But.. Mexico is filled with ruins of old temples
>>221762758I forgot about these. The only people that talk about this are the few white looking Mexicans that go like "yeah, I'm olmec"
>>221761366Callao juárez
>>221761349it is kind of odd how the latinx have cool churches and the flips are left with nothing
>>221761388 Since we were in an active seismic zone like Japan and Taiwan we didnt have stone temples, same case as them, what we had were large wooden pagodas like the case of Japan since anything built of stone here would tumble into dust from the various earthquakes and landslides that we have.Magellan even noted that in the Kingdom or Rajahnate of Cebu, they noted the presence of many wooden oratories or wooden pagodas similar to Japan's.However since our cities were made of wood to withstand earthquakes, the Spanish easily burned them down upon invasion, unlike with Mexico's stone temples which cannot be easily destroyed.
>>221763240We have cool churches too. In fact there's an entire architectural style invented here and applied to Guatemala and Sicily since architects adjusted the high frequency of Earthquakes here. It's called Earthquake Baroque.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthquake_Baroque
Here's my screenshot from the book noting the Rajahnate or Hindu Kingdom of Cebu had Wooden Pagodas.
>>221761724Nigga. We lack all your pretty boy colonial shit since we were a natural disaster prone constant warzone.We are in the Pacific Ring of Fire which means frequent Volcanoes, Landslides, Earthquakes, and Tsunamis destroying a pueblo once a month.Then we are at a center of a crescent im the far east, what's worse is that we are the lone Christian nation here stuck in the middle of the largest Muslim country in the south, Indonesia, and largest Buddhist country in the north, China. So im between defending against Moro Muslim raiders, Chinese Pirates, and Japanese Ronin Wakos, it's a miracle that the Philippines survived despite being surrounded by hostile neighbors.And finally, after the Spanish and even you Mexicans...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexican_settlement_in_the_PhilippinesManaged to properly adjust building techniques to the earthquake prone environment by inventing the Earthquake Baroque style here in the Philippines..https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthquake_BaroqueThe fact the were a tropical archipelago filled with coral reefs meant that it was cheaper to use corals as building materials rather than quarry for stone, left alot of buildings, churches, and fortresses, here to be made of corals!https://youtu.be/9VRcn1HG0Y8?si=UNc0zhsuiqSYs53VAnd corals are living gemstones like amber, pearls, and mother of pearls.So basically you have entire towns and churches here literally built out of gemstones!God would be pleased since in the Bible he deemed corals among the most precious gemstones!Proverbs 3:15-1715 She is more precious than corals, and no treasure of yours can compare with her.16 Long life is in her right hand, in her left are riches and honor;17 Her ways are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peace;
>>221763681hostile? no one gives a shit about the philippines
>>221763775Then why did the Indonesian Sultanate of Ternate invade Southern Mindanao and attack Christian cities across the Philippines from there? You sure didnt care so much about the Philippines that you invaded us.
>>221761349Hahaha Kirby Araullo is my Facebook friend. Ill say hi to him in a bit.He is so nationalistic as a Filipino even though he is Spanish-Basque paternally and is the cousin of Celeb Atom Araullo.
Him and his paternal cousin the journalist Atom Araullo.
Why is their pre-Spanish history so poorly uderstood?
>>221762285Stop hating bro, Filipinos are the most POWERFUL race.
>>221764918I tried with Kirby Araullo for 15 years to correct the systemic denigration of the Americans in depicting us as savages in order to justify their colonialism over us.While he was busy in Social Media and Youtube I was busy working in Wikipedia and the Government in reviving knowledge of our precolonial kingdoms.https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Rene_Bascos_Sarabia_Jr.The USA taught the rest of the world that we were savages to justify their looting and stealing from us. But evidence shows we were far more advanced than even the Japanese and Koreans, the Americans now worship. During our precolonial years...We already had cannons and gunpowder weapons in the Philippines. Known as Lantakas among the Muslim Sultanates and Astingals among the Hindu Rajahnates back in the time when Japan and Korea was still using Crossbows and Katanas!https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Istinggarhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LantakaWe also has stone castles in Ma-i, Ivatan, and Cainta employing star patterned walls bullwark designs similar to Renaissance Europe while China and Japan were still in square forts era.I can list alot more but this has been systematically covered up and supressed in order to paint us as savages to justify colonial rule.

>>221765080So your main colonial gripe is with us?
>>221765206Spain granted us actual Spanish Citizenship and had no trouble settling here that 5% of the Philippines' population is Spanish and 2% is Mexican.Whereas Americans are barely 1% of the population despite the USA having multiple times larger the population of Spain.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexican_settlement_in_the_Philippineshttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_Filipinoshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americans_in_the_PhilippinesAmerica also never granted us citizenship, at best we were unincorporated territorial "Nationals" like people from Guam or Puerto Rico, taxed by the Federal Government but doesn't even have a Representative in Congress, funny, considering how you Americans rebelled against the British empire for even less, "No Taxation Without Representation!". Well you taxed and plundered us for 60 years all 7.5 Million of us, without any representation either too...But you are the infallibe American not me, according to Harvard we are savages, and get to be displayed in human zoos.
>>221765206But thats far in the past now. We couldn't take back the fact that you gave South Korea and Israel 119 and 317 Billion US Dollars each to develop them while you left us to rot despite us Filipinos dying en masse in World War 2, Korean War, Vietnam War, and Cold War, to defend and fight for American ideals. Filled with gutted cities and ruined towns, but zero money for repairs.Instead you gave your Korean butchers during World War 2 (They were part of the Japanese Empire) that slaughtered millions of Americans, as well as your Jewish masters hundreds of billions in free money, while your own former colony , the Philippines, had none! UwU so faiir!!!
>>221764841>filipin culture bearer>live in CaliforniaBut joking aside, he seems really care about his people history, good for him. It was a nice read
>>221764104those guys were attacking Spain, not you
>>221762411>>221762285You should both hate yourselves more for not being Japanese Korean or Chinese
>>221761551>JuarezThat's an actual Spanish surname Señoooor
>>221761551>>221769063Do you call him?
>>221764918Lack of funding compounded by retarded foreigners like FRAUDley Beyer.>>221765080>has been systematically covered up and supressedYou got any source on this? Always thought it's just lack of interest due to the general idea of progressive nation building being dominant at the time.
