CHINESE BLOOD & ANCESTRY. It is said to believed that every Asian country, its own people have Chinese blood running in their veins.
Wonder why? The era of the Mongolian Empire, the conquest of GENGHIS KHAN & KUBLAI KHAN and Limahong, had their race propagated into ASIA.
Hmm... can you see and notice that with the inhabitants of China, Vietnam, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, & Philippines? Observe & notice and observe their kind of foods certainly almost there are obvious similarities. Look at their faces. Can you identify similarities and differences?
Most of the basic foods/cuisines of the Filipinos are mostly Chinese foods. Additional variations with their family meals include Spanish foods introduced when the Spaniards conquered Philippines in 15th Century. It was not actually an invasion because they came through the "pilgrimage" propagating Christianity and the building of the "Cross in Mactan" symbolized the first baptism and from then on every native Filipino was baptized and given the Christian name replacing them to Spanish names. Of course so many Spaniards migrated and lived for hundred years in Philippines not just the Spanish soldiers and friars. As it was noticeable as of today of the Spanish blood that runs in their veins: beautiful, proud and aristocratic.Additional vocabulary in Spanish added to the rich language of the Filipinos.
However, the Chinese blood in most Filipinos hasn't change as their knowledge with the trade and commercialization still mighty proud and the landmarks of trade visible such as the famous Shoemart, Landmark and other structures where their culture and heritage still are very much visible at present generation.
Include the arrival of the Americans in our culture, heritage, custom and new form of Government that according to most Americans, the liberator that FILIPINOS ARE THE BROWN AMERICANS and Americans are always welcome in the Philippines. Fort William McKinley ( Fort Bonifacio - Global City) was the site of the first American cavalry and military camp. It was actually a base for the Americans. You know how large American Cemetery and how large the camp is? Almost a city on the hill because it also covers the Army General Hospital and barracks, and quarters for the military residents, Manila Polo Club, sprawling Golf Course. Forbes Park Church, and Forbes Park for the most wealthiest Filipinos and Americans.
FILIPINOS ARE NOW HYBRIDS = Mixed bloods. They can speak two to three languages and can understand different dialects with much ease. They are the best imports in the workplace around the world. They are highly skilled in trades and employable in the Middle East, China, America, and Canada. UNITED NATIONS should vote for the Filipinos as the new PEACEKEEPERS.
HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!
You are what you eat when you eat Chinese foods most of the time. Can't help yourself?
