2024 is seen to dethrone 2023 as the hottest year on record amid the expected peak of the El Niño weather phenomenon.

Typical Filipino (XXXV) - Typisch Philippinisch (XXXV): The Filipino YES - Das philippinische JA

Welche der folgenden Bedeutungen kann das "JA" eines Filipinos/einer Filipina haben?

1. Ich weiß nicht.

2. Vielleicht.

3. Wenn Sie es sagen!

4. Du solltest Deinen Kopf im Pfandhaus abgeben!

5. Ja, natürlich.

6. Laß mich bloß raus!

7. Wo ist denn die Toilette?

8. Nein, aber ich werde Ihnen nicht offen widersprechen.

9. Ist Ihnen klar, wie spät es schon ist ?!

10. Ihr Europäer seid alle gleich.

Kommentar:

Ein "JA" kann je nach begleitenden Gesichtsausdruck und Betonung vieles bedeuten. Es läßt sich nicht auf eine einzige Definition festlegen. Sie müssen Ihre Antennen ausfahren und sich in die Antwort hineinfühlen. Ein "JA" kann zum Beispiel herausplatzen, weil die Haushilfe verwirrt ist und es nicht zugeben mag. Ein "JA" kann auch Unverständnis signalisieren und die peinliche Situation, dies nicht eingestehen zu können oder zu wollen. Ein "JA" mag ausgesprochen werden, nur um Ihnen in dieser Situation zu schmeicheln. Die Antworten 4,6,7,9 und 10 jedoch überschreiten selbst die Grenzen eines philippinischen "JA".

+++

Which of the following meanings can a Filipino's "YES" have?

1. I don't know.

2. Maybe.

3. If you say so!

4. You should give your head to the pawn shop!

5. Yes, of course.

6. Just let me out!

7. Where is the toilet?

8. No, but I won't openly contradict you.

9. Do you realize how late it is?!

10. You Europeans are all the same.

Comment:

A “YES” can mean many things depending on the accompanying facial expression and intonation. It cannot be pinned down to a single definition. You have to extend your antennae and feel your way into the answer. For example, a "YES" may blurt out because the house help is confused and doesn't want to admit it. A “YES” can also signal a lack of understanding and the embarrassing situation of not being able or unwilling to admit it. A "YES" may be uttered just to flatter you in this situation. However, answers 4,6,7,9 and 10 exceed even the limits of a Filipino “YES”.

Tyler Tio (right) and the Phoenix Fuel Masters have been soaring lately. (AUGUST DELA CRUZ)

Hey there sports fan, Happy New Year everyone! How excited are you for sports in 2024? We certainly are. We have started mapping out our Olympic coverage, finalizing how we will approach the Summer Games that will be held in glamorous Paris. So far, two of the country's best bet for medals—gold, even—have qualified for the Olympics: World No. 2 pole vaulter EJ Obiena and world champion gymnast Carlos Yulo. Remember how big a year this two had in  2023? Obiena, for one,  joined an elite cast of pole vaulters who have breached the 6-meter mark. Do you know in which country did Obiena pull off that feat? The answer, at the end of this email. We're also preparing for the Inquirer Sports Awards, which will be held in second week of February and maybe you can help us with some of the awardees. We're also tracking the PBA Commissioner's Cup, which is now entering the final stretch before the playoffs asnd so far Magnolia seems to be looking good up there at No. 1. The surprise, though, has been the Phoenix Fuel Masters, who have stuck themselves to the No. 2 post and are looking forward to achieving more success in the tournament   “We’re doing good now, but I hope we can sustain it,” team captain RJ Jazul said after Phoenix survived Meralco, 93-83,

Meanwhile... Here are stories you may have missed over the holidays .  F2's disbandment has created a quite the stir, not just because a traditionally heavyweight squad folded up. That disbandment has seen a lot of Cargo Movers standouts being picked up by several teams. So far, a handul  of players have found new homes. Tim Cone talked about what's next for Gilas Pilipinas, and how difficult it might be to make sure the next basketball milestone for the country won't wait another six decades.  Women's coaches speak up. Aris Dimaunahan says it's time to move on after NU finished second in women's basketball, while Pat Aquino worries about the sustainability of the women's national program. What we're up to next: We are busy mapping out our Olymnpic coverage and rushing to finish preparations for the Inquirer Sports Awards. We'll keep our ears to the ground to bring you the latest stories in the world of sports. Number of the Week: 18-0 Boston Celtics' home record this year, a franchise best.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “We are passionate about our basketball and that kind of passion should somehow translate to eventual success.” —Tim Cone, on meeting fans' high expectations for the national team.

Philippine-German Relations (VI) - Deutsch-philippinische Beziehungen (VI)

The Existence of a German Community

Fr. Gene Bacareza, a Bol-anon, was then in 1986 the first chaplain of the small Philippine community. Organizing several religious and civic clubs, establishing community events, and starting the first community newsletter, Fr. Bacareza slowly developed the community as a center where Filipinos in Berlin can congregate and hold celebrations.

He taught to me many things. I learned from him many things about the German Community in the Philippines.

The existence of a German Community before 1836 was impossible. The Royal Decree of February 2, 1800 prohibited foreigners to reside in the Philippines. Other similar decrees were issued in 1807 and in 1816. It was evident that Spain wanted to keep foreigners out of the Philippines, believing in some way that the Philippines a dollar gained by a foreigner was one taken from the pocket of Spainard.

When Ferdinand Magellan started his expedition in 1520, his main problem was not so much the financial aspect of the travel, since he was supported by Jacob Fugger, rich German banker in Augsburg.

It is evident from the list of the crew members that at least three gunners were Germans: Hans Vargue, chief gunner, Jorge Aleman (Georg Deutsch) and a certain Hans, who survived and went with the crew members who arrived in Spain on September 8, 1522.

The coming of the individual Germans to the Philippines was desultory. Pedro Murillo Velarde wrote in his "Jesuit Missions in the 17th Century" that "in the harbor of Manila  there are people from all the nations of Europe-French, German and Dutch.

A certain Ernst Hoffmann made some observations during his world travel in 1823 and 1826. His observations are found in the "Archiv für Mineralogie, Bergbau und Hüttenkunde", Berlin, 1829, pp. 243 - 315.

Die Existenz einer deutschen Gemeinschaft

Fr. Gene Bacareza, ein Bol-anon, war 1986 der erste Geistliche der kleinen philippinischen Gemeinde. Er organisierte mehrere religiöse und bürgerliche Clubs, richtete Gemeinschaftsveranstaltungen ein und startete den ersten Gemeinde-Newsletter. Bacareza entwickelte die Gemeinde langsam zu einem Zentrum, in dem Filipinos in Berlin zusammenkommen und Feiern abhalten können.

Er hat mir viele Dinge beigebracht. Ich habe von ihm viel über die deutsche Gemeinschaft auf den Philippinen gelernt.

Die Existenz einer deutschen Gemeinschaft vor 1836 war unmöglich. Der königliche Erlass vom 2. Februar 1800 verbot Ausländern den Aufenthalt auf den Philippinen. Weitere ähnliche Dekrete wurden 1807 und 1816 erlassen. Es war offensichtlich, dass Spanien Ausländer von den Philippinen fernhalten wollte, da es in gewisser Weise glaubte, dass die Philippinen einen von einem Ausländer gewonnenen Dollar aus der Tasche Spaniens nahmen.

Als Ferdinand Magellan 1520 seine Expedition begann, war sein Hauptproblem nicht so sehr der finanzielle Aspekt der Reise, da er von Jacob Fugger, einem reichen deutschen Bankier in Augsburg, unterstützt wurde.

Aus der Liste der Besatzungsmitglieder geht hervor, dass mindestens drei Kanoniere Deutsche waren: Hans Vargue, Chefschütze, Jorge Aleman (Georg Deutsch) und ein gewisser Hans, der überlebte und mit den Besatzungsmitgliedern ging, die am 8. September in Spanien ankamen , 1522.

Die Ankunft einzelner Deutscher auf den Philippinen verlief ziellos. Pedro Murillo Velarde schrieb in seinen „Jesuitenmissionen im 17. Jahrhundert“, dass „im Hafen von Manila Menschen aus allen Nationen Europas leben – Franzosen, Deutsche und Niederländer.“

Ein gewisser Ernst Hoffmann machte während seiner Weltreise in den Jahren 1823 und 1826 einige Beobachtungen. Seine Beobachtungen finden sich im „Archiv für Mineralogie, Bergbau und Hüttenkunde“, Berlin, 1829, S. 243 – 315.
