I’m in love with this channel. Why? Because it makes knowledge attractive. I always hated going to school as a child because no one ever made knowledge so attractive to want to learn. And that’s why we need more of this. Effort from animators to the voice of Xiao Chua didn’t make a single second of this video boring. It makes me proud as a Filipino, it makes me want to be a better Filipino for the world and I believe that we as Filipinos and The Philippines truly has something to offer to the world. Mabuhay tayo.

As a Black American man i want to take my hat to you and bow. Your eloquence, intelligence, clarity and warmth allowed me to not only enjoy the teaching but sent me back to the history books. And as listen to the truths you expoused, it could have also been a detailed historical account on the history the Black American nation and many of the mental, emotional and spiritual ills that affect the Black American nation until this very day. Keep up the amazing excellent work. Peace and Love.

The way he said "kagitingan" somehow makes me proud of being a filipino. I can see in his eyes how patriotic he is. Indeed, we are filipino so long as we are choosing to be a Filipino. Maraming salamat, Xioa!

This is the kind of tito na masarap kakwentuhan habang nagkakape sa terrace ng maulang panahon.

[noelgalit]

Wala sa dugo, nasa pinipiling paniwalaan at panindigan araw-araw. Ang ganda. Mabuhay ka, Xiao.

[zachzoldyck]

he's not just teaching, he also entertained us viewers like a friend whose telling his stories.

[luiscmyk]

I dont know why I almost teared up when Xiao said, that "we" won the war.

This episode should be shown in schools. Filipino History Mythbuster! Nice info. Nakaka-proud maging pinoy after watching this.

[almaluzjaba-an]

Kung dumarami ka lng pag nababasa ng ulan, ilulubog kita sa baha. At ilalagay kita sa lahat ng paaralan para matuto ang batang pinoy sa inyong mahusay at klaro pagpapaliwanag. Mabuhay ka, ser Xiao!

Lagi kong naririnig ang salitang "kagitingan" ngunit hindi ko nagtabi ng oras upang pag-isipan at intindihin ang totoong kahulugan ng salitang ito, hanggang ngayon.

Dahil sa bidyong ito, namulat ulit ako sa kagandahan ng ating kultura, na maliban sa ating konsepto ng 'pakikipagkapwa' na tungkol sa ating pag-intindi't pag-unawa sa isa't isa, mayroon pala ding 'bayanihan' kung saan tayo'y lumalaban ng sabay sabay. Nakakahanga, sa totoo lang.

Maraming salamat Prof. Xiao, umaasa akong gagawa pa kayo ng mas madaming bidyo tulad nito upang maintindihan ng bagong henerasyon nang maigi ang ating kultura.

[Ljane]

This is so touching, warming at nakakatalino! Thankyou po! Makes me so proud of my nation!

[yeahlol]

I cried after watching this, i love what i am a Filipino. I am proud to call myself and the privilege of those rich & deep meaningful History thank you.

[angelserenade]

Sana ganito ka-galing and ka-charismatic yung mga History teacher sa schools ngayon. I love learning bits of History of other countries and events from all over the world, but I never had the ounce of interest in knowing my homeland's long history. when he said about what being a nation is, it struck me hard.

Thank you for your wonderful inights, sir!

Ang ganda nung idea ng "hindi mo malalaman na captive ka kung di mo makikita kung anong itsura ng kalayaan". It took so long before filipinos had the chance to see how others outside the Philippines lived or even read about it. Nung narealize na ng ilan, saka lang nakaisip, pwede rin nating gawin yun (Revolution). Sometimes influence is only seen as losing your identity but it can actually be a good thing, an eye-opener

[jamalfritztee]

been a big fan of Prof. Xiao since his Xiao Time days, it was always his energy and wisdom resonating through his viewers. maraming salamat sa pagsisikap na ipalaganap ang ating kasaysayan, mabuhay ka Prof. Xiao!

I met professor Xiao when I was 18 in our school (in Mindanao), he was promoting their film GOYO, such a cool person!!
