everybody welcome back to flag / fan
Friday hope you like the Philippines
episode as you know there's the part
where we talk about the small mistakes
we made in the video or things that
didn't quite make it into the video and
there's quite a bit so I guess the
biggest mistake was there are a lot of
spelling errors and pronunciation errors
hey I'm not PIN noise so give me a break
and I can grow up here in the u.s. so
I'll give him a break - also a fun fact
in real life ken is actually taller than
me yeah but in the video he had to kind
of crouch down a little bit so anyway
some things we missed out in the video
include things like one thing that
happened the day we uploaded the video
star city caught on fire oh yeah the
whole amusement park that was going on
the day of so dang otherwise Ken what is
it jeepney kind of like a bus taxi
famous looking that's a lot of colors a
lot of people go in there they travel
you kind of like it just goes in one
Ralad like Filipino uber yes I got to
get a better mic at one point they found
a 14-pound pearl that went for forty
million dollars the Philippines is
well-known for doing a lot of code
switching switching between Tagalog and
English you could find it a lot of dope
operas and like super super mom at a
majority of Filipino households every
single kitchen that you walk into you
will find the last supper for mostly for
Catholic reasons or hey a dining table
that yeah that the place where you eat I
just had so much memories like oh bring
your vowel and you didn't for your
bottle and it's bring your lunch it's
like bringing food to your workplace or
school it's like your snack sack
Tupperware I mean okay Tupperware a bag
one interesting thing in some certain
areas of the Philippines they actually
reenact the crucifixion of Christ yeah I
believe some of them actually do like
pierce the skin and it gets a little
bloody
but yeah you guys take that stuff
seriously yeah that we go hard
by the way Christmas is celebrated all
the way from like September to epiphany
which is one of the longest Christmas
celebrations in the world
one thing Filipinos have in common with
Mexicans they all use vicks vapor rub
yes it is the universal remedy if you
have a cold use Vicks if you broke your
leg use Vicks one thing I really wanted
to mention was collee one of the native
indigenous martial art forms in the
Philippines a lot of times it uses
two sticks at once they have a lot of
other indigenous sports as well we
didn't quite have enough time to mention
them but I wish we could have so that's
just about it
now we're gonna jump into the flag so
without further ado you owe the
Philippines episode Ken what was your
favorite part
oh the Bob oh of course Kim Kim can't go
wrong with the bah bah bah bah bah yeah
my favorite part was when I ate palak so
anyway let's talk about the flag the
flag of the Philippines is a horizontal
by collar with two stripes one being
royal blue the other one crimson red on
the hoist side is an equilateral white
triangle with three stars in each of the
corners and an eight-pointed son in the
middle finally you were supposed to be
in the Filipino episode it's already
past yes mam hello the blue stands for
peace truth and justice the red stands
for patriotism and valor sorry can no
animation this week whereas the white in
the triangle stands for liberty equality
and fraternity the triangle shape
signifies the emblem of the Katipunan
the secret society that opposed the
Spanish rule the three stars represent
the main island clusters of the
Philippines Luzon Visayas and Mindanao
and finally the Sun symbolizes the eight
provinces that revolted against the
Spanish during the Spanish revolution
they are Manila Bulacan Tarlac Cavite
Pampanga nueva Clea Laguna and Batangas
now keep in mind in the past they did
have quite a few other flags whether it
was under revolution or Republic or
colonialism first was the Spanish and
then two years there the UK were trying
to get in on it but they couldn't and
they failed so then it went back to
Spain and then there was like a
revolutionary thing going on yeah then
America took over and then Japan
probably put on walls at the anti
Spaniard colonialism not to be confused
with the Ku Klux Klan at all basically
the point is Spanish mostly 50 years
American then they have their own thing
so there you go coat of arms and now go
to our oh jeez I don't take this
seriously when you're here Ken the coat
of arms of the Philippines is very
similar to the flag you have the same
elements included it's basically a
shield divided into three sections with
a centerpiece obviously containing the
colors of the flag the blue the red and
the white with the same Sun and stars
symbolizing the exact same things as the
flag but then you go to the bottom left
corner and the right corner and you see
two images the left one containing the
North American bald eagle of the United
States on the blue and on the red the
lion of Leon both of these symbolize the
former colonial powers that used to take
over the Philippines being the USA and
Spain underneath is a ribbon with the
words Repubblica and Pilipinas which of
course means Republic of the Philippines
there is an alternate image of the coat
of arms which does not contain the
animals in the blue and red stripes but
for now the official one does contain
them they have a lot of other coat of
arms in the past when Spain colonized
they had their version of the coat of
arm in America colonized they had their
version of the coat of arms when Japan
also colonized they also had their
version of the coat of arms so a lot of
different versions of the coat of arms
that's just about it now let's open up
