My first lesson on the history of the Philippines under Spanish colonial rule was through my Filipina wife, though it's just a snippet. With your documentary, I learned a lot. You're a great storyteller! Keep it up!

42:22 - Nakita ko itong restaurant sa vlog ni Mark Weins. Nahirapan pa si Mark makapasok dahil mahaba ang pila. Samantalang ikaw, Gretchen Ho, exclusive mong napasok ang restaurant ng ikaw lamang. Napakahusay ng iyong video. Nakakamangha. In-extend mo ang News Journalism skills mo dito sa channel mo. Isang special documentary ang ginawa mo. We are so proud of you. Keep making this kind of vlog.

This is such a great vlog/docuseries about Filipinos in Madrid. We learned so much about Dr. Rizal and how the Spanish-Filipino culture infused itself in Spain.

We were in Spain in 2018 and saw most of the places featured here as well as ate in Botin whereby we (since tourists) were serenaded by a group of good looking and talented medical students who do this as their part time jobs. Back then we didn’t have any tour guide and did the rounds on our own. Now I have a better understanding of what significance those places are that we visited. I appreciate this so much.

Spain is awesome, I went there for a holiday with my children, Costa Brava and Mallorca, and now my children are grown up they are still making a holiday in Spain. Spain is our favorite place. We felt safe and not boring. About history we did not care much but we visited a lot of places. a lot of Germans have their vacation houses in Costa Blanca and the rich one in Marbella. We love the spanish food and we were pampered in the hotel.

How come I only seen this today? I’ve been a History lover, and I love our history the most especially about our heroes, mainly Jose Protacio Rizal Mercado y Alonso Realonda. This made me cry and overwhelmed with all the information regarding our connection with Spain.
