r/FilipinoHistory

The generation labels like "the Boomers" or "Gen X" is too American centric and cannot be applied in our country because of different history and experiences thus I tried my best to make more appropriate Generation labels.

How about labeling it like this

Hello! Are there any historians or intellectual out there that has an idea about the significance and history of Upland Cavite specifically Amadeo (Masilaw/Masilao)? I am a local and the history of the town really piqued my interest.

I had read some articles, excerpts, and so on about an infantry during the Philippine American War. How the church of Amadeo was used as a fortress, and some accounts that the significance of Amadeo was simply a shortcut for transportation that connects the Upland and the lower areas of Cavite during the Spanish colonialism.

It is also a major confusion on the livelihood of the town during pre-colonial, Spanish colonial, and the succeeding events.

Any leads are appreciated.

Hello, curious ako sa pag papa-tatu at gusto kodin magkaroon kaso wala akong mahanap na picture manlang o reference ng kapampangan tribal tatu. Base sa mababang pananaliksik, bago tayo masakop ng mga espanyol, ay nag ta-tatu ang gma kapangpangan kaso nung dumating na sila ay itinigil na.

It was Manuel L. Quezon who first encouraged settlement in Mindanao. Then continued by Manuel L. Roxas, Elpidio Quirino, Ramon Magsaysay and then Ferdinand Marcos Sr. Most of those who migrated in Mindanao were landless peasants who took the opportunity to have their own houses and farmlands. Droves of settlers from Western and Central Visayas poured to Mindanao. Agusan, Bukidnon, Davao and Zamboanga were heavily settled and populated by Cebuano speaking Visayans, while the fertile Cotabato Valley consisting of Cotabato, Sarangani, South Cotabato and Sultan Kudarat were settled and populated by Hiligaynon speaking Visayans. It should be noted that there wasn't any province in Mindanao that has been heavily settled nor populated by Waray speaking Visayans, not even a Barangay or an LGU. From an anthropological and sociocultural perspective, what could be the reason why the Warays from Eastern Visayas didn't settle in Mindanao, unlike the Cebuanos and Hiligaynon/Ilonggos? Thanks to whoever will respond.

The Velarde map shows a lot of different ethnic groups in the philippines, especially a lot of South Asians( Canarins, Lascar, Mughals) Africans (Cafres), Armenians, Chinese (Sangley), Japanese. But how come we dont see alot of those other ethnic groups influence on filipino culture as a whole? Except the chinese of course. Were they small in number, and were assimilated into the filipinos?

So while talking to a friend, he asked me a question that never crossed my mind: Why is it that the Philippines' and the US's Independence Day are both on July 4? Was there something behind it, or just a sheer coincidence?

Serious though, whenever I look at the murillo map napapaisip ako na bakit mas marami pa ang nawawalang teritorio ang pampanga compara sa pangasinan na para bang mas nawalan ng bahagya, pero malaki pa rin (Pangasinan has 48 territories) at sa Pampanga sobrang laki ang ibinawas nito na may 22 na bayan ngayon. Ang laki.

I am aware na tuluyang nawalan ng bahaging territories ang pampanga after maitatag ang Tarlac na galing sa dalawang provinces: Pampanga & Pangasinan.

Bakit nga ba mas malaki ang nawala ang territories ng pampanga?

Due to the catálogos alfabético de apellidos (1849), Filipinos were forced to take a surname from the Spanish decree and nowadays, Filipinos can barely track back their real surnames and the meaning behind them. Our names tell stories and it would mean a lot to my partner and I if we could find out what my unique last name could be of.

We have tried everything from scratch, google searches and AI.

Does anyone know how we could discover our real Filipino surnames?
