>President Rodrigo Duterte will not support the celebration of the quincentennial of Christianity in the Philippines purportedly because the faith was used by the Spanish as an instrument to subjugate the Filipino people.
>"What has Spain done for us to deserve celebration?" he asks. The President then proceeded to harangue the social ills that Spanish and American colonialism brought about in the country, including members of the elite who were complicit in the process.
>“They came to this country as imperialists. We were not Spanish and they subjugated us for 300 years. That’s painful for me,” the President said at rites starting the construction of homes for victims of the Naga landslide on Sept. 20, 2018.
> “And yet, I was asked for a commemoration of the 500 years since [the Spanish] arrived here. I answered, ‘Why would I celebrate the arrival of the Spanish here? Why would I?’” the President said.
>“It was good that my cousins got mad at them and cut off Magellan’s head. That made me happy,” said the President, who claims to be a descendant of Cebu chieftain Lapu-Lapu who defeated Ferdinand Magellan in April 1521.
the flips I know have a pretty neutral attitude to the spanish, I'm surprised he gives a shit
Jackson Wilson
Holy crap he's the only based Flip I've met.
I've met so many flips LARP as Spanish even though their White ancestry is some German sexpat
Thomas Gomez
When will Spain pay reparations?
Connor Ramirez
Why? He is throwing out the two pedophile death cults that gave shackled his nation (christianity and pro-americanism). Pretty fucking based ngl.
Zachary Brown
>tf >tp
Joseph Ward
Maybe in Canada In flipland we regard the spanish as the #1 source of all pur problems today, from the corrupt elites, to the lavish haciendas, to the "padrino" mentality coddling corruption, to family and patronage politics
Fuck spain, one of the worst colonists no wonder all their colonies left them faster than Britain and France
Parker Sanchez
when you pay reparations for sending us Raffaella Carrà and Laura Pausini
Easton Gutierrez
what for modernising some backwards ooga booga shithole oh god how horrific!
Henry Miller
This. Almost all Spanish colonize ended up as a corrupted shitholes
>it's another episode of third worlders pretending like they were an united peoples with a centralised nation before colonists showed up go back to killing each other if you hate spain so much lol
Thomas Jones
For the first time I'm gonna agree with this edgelord. Fuck Manolos & merilards
Duterte won because he won on the premise that he would do on the national stage what he did to his city as mayor for 2 decades: from a commie moro warzone full of criminals druggies and rapists to one of the safest and progressive metropolis in the country
Jeremiah Morgan
Liteally every British colony was a success apart from the African ones which literally no one had any success in civilising
Ayden Bailey
that's not relevant to what i said. it's just corny. just like when pakistanis and indians throw insults at each other in english about which country resisted the british the most
Bentley Wright
yeah I'm sure Belize, Guyana, Pakistan, Burma, Sri Lanka, Yemen, Jamaica etc etc etc are African countries
Carson Green
it is. You laugh at the fact that they were separate tribes that fought each other. The fact is that's how it was with everyone.
Jose Lee
I find it pretty hilarious how condescending you people are, laughing at the people who voted for Trump, even Duterte. I didn't vote for this dude in 2016, but I will guarantee that if he ever ran in your country, Duterte would win. He's better at campaigning and more charismatic than Trump ever was. If you would see what he did, and if you would listen to his speeches, you would be swayed, probably. That's why he was so dangerous and why he won in a landslide
Austin Barnes
Buddy its Drumpf supporters and their dogs who are and will continue to be assblasted by Duerte.
Blake Rogers
Based af
Liam Howard
how's the war on drugs coming along chief?
Ryder Campbell
Cry about it bitch monkey
Dominic Morris
Sri lanka is doing good enough.
Easton Foster
tell that to Malaysia
Levi Turner
Based and redpilled. FUCK c*cktianity and FUCK imperialism.
Thomas Robinson
i laugh because it was the spainards who unified them, and now they are blaming the spainards for 'destroying' the 'filipino' people. as if there still aren't muslim filipinos blowing up the catholic filipinos. perhaps the philippines needs another round of spanish colonisation
Justin Evans
literally the only filipino I respect what a hero fuck euros
Jose Wright
cringe
should have left them be monkeys then
or even better remove them to make space for more spanish people
Cooper Morgan
As a Greek shouldn't you sympathise since you were Ottoman slaves?
Justin Wilson
Spread your buttocks Chang, Chairmen Xi's THOUGHT is coming.
They recently had a civil war. Mexico and Sri Lanka have similar Hdi.
Parker Morris
what a stupid fucking gorilla
Gabriel Reed
callate moro de mierda
Andrew Harris
Christianity, Islam and all abrahamic faiths are disgusting, we should have already abandoned them
Benjamin Turner
Holy fuck this is actually based af.
Christian Torres
Sounds totally based to me. I mean, thirdies claiming that colonization is the root of all their problems are pathetic, but I don't see why the flips should fucking celebrate having their ancestors raped by the spics
Ian Reyes
...
Adam White
>100k killed in 25 years We got that kill count in 5
>that colonization is the root of all their problems it is. the model of developement the spanish (and then their descendants) conducted was basically: work in my farm for the rest of your life.
Austin Kelly
And? Just change it then, have a bloodbath or two if you need, that's how we got there
Jace Morales
They are changing it? The Philippines' growth is among the fastest in the world. Still colonisation is arguably what fucked up the most SEA and the Far East in general. It's no coincidence that Japan and Thailand are more developed than their neighbours.
Jack Anderson
death to imperialist based president
Carter Davis
Japan was already much more advanced which is the reason why it didn't get colonized in the first place, it's more of a cause than a consequence. And I was talking about Chile, but yeah good for them if they're improving, I'd say the US meddling in their affairs is much more of an hindrance than the remnants of colonisation will ever be
Ian Fisher
fast growth is easier and easier as more of the world is developed. It's hard to fuck up suckling the teats of two world powers trying to placate your country for geographic influence
seething filipANOS, they should thank spain, cause they gave them the only culture they'll ever have
Nathaniel Fisher
Wait... filipinos celebrate the coming of the spaniards conquistadors? stockholm syndrome is in the air my dude.
Still, i hope they go full retard mode with the anti-spanish sentiment so they refuse to learn spanish meanwhile the entire history of the philipines rots on a library in Madrid.
im sure one tribe would have overpowered the others and united the region eventually just like your country came into being no? only difference is time
Wyatt Adams
they are lucky that the spanish didn't wipe their race of this earth
Ian Gutierrez
>panels shows replacing the inhabitants each time >except for americans and japs
lmao
Luke Diaz
>filipinos celebrate the coming of the spaniards conquistadors? Everybody should celebrate the Spaniards lad, we spread the potato from Merica to the World
who cares? YOu still have hte most fucking language in the whole world
>"Mayroong pitong araw sa is Christianity in the Philipines taong kalendaryo"
Gabriel Jones
This. The Philippines weren't even a country before the Spanish, which is how they got their name, after King Philip of Spain. Even in Filipino it's called the "Pilipinas".
John Davis
Very BASED
Mason Myers
That's right, Suriname & Indonesia today are fastly superior to any of the shitholes you've colonized, let alone Spain itself. You guys should be ashamed of yourselves.
Cameron Martin
>Suriname Suriname is below Colombia in GDP per capita, also 90% Nigger
Jason Lewis
Not really. You underestimate the power of the average Pinoy.
The Spanish couldn't hold onto Mexico. The Philippines would've been even worse.
Colton Adams
Suriname has soul
Jaxon Fisher
t. successful Spanish ex-colony
Camden Collins
He is from Agadir.
Charles Barnes
Yeah, we celebrate... but the day we started to self-govern ourselves. Imagine spending money on the only tercio in the entire american continent, located in the poorest colony only to lose it.
▪Trains still getting delayed ▪Build Build Build are the former admin projects ▪Boracay turne into a public toliet by chinese tourist ▪More Corrupt chinese deals POGO still not banned ▪Streets still getting flooded ▪Traffic still unbearable people are actually dying ▪Public transporation still a joke ▪Police force still not abiding by the law ▪Police officials releasing convicted drug lords and rapist as a reward for testifying against critics ▪Preventable National Emergency Dengue/Measels outbreak ▪Government officials still abusing their power ▪Lawmakers still incompetent ▪President still avoid accountability ▪Government still teeming with corruption Filipinos still suffering
So, is this Duterte's trademark "disciplinary" governance in action? Oh, right. One last thing.
Change still not coming
I feel like Im missing alot of things.
Asher Lee
>imagine blaming the spanish and christianity for all the problems in this country
If you meet a flip who supports this guy, don't ever befriend him/her because it indicates he/she has an iq of a vegetable.
Benjamin Rivera
Yeah. """Alpha""" populists like that guy ONLY ruin countries given enough time.
Sebastian Wright
Based. Paganism will rise again.
Jonathan Lee
Based. Fuck spain. Fuck america. Fuck japan.
