In Barcelona’s multicultural El Raval district, the Filipino community has grown from early migrants like domestic workers and seafarers into a vibrant presence that includes nurses, artists and digital creatives. Today, Filipinos are not just building lives in the city, but actively shaping it, helping newcomers integrate through language, sharing traditional martial arts, and making their mark through music, painting and community work. 00:00 Filipino martial arts in barcelona 01:22 Why filipinos moved to barcelona 01:54 Jhonee: rebuilding life through kali 04:58 Arianne: bringing filipino food to spain 07:58 Patricia: discovering her filipina identity 09:56 El raval: barcelona’s filipino heart 10:38 Nats: finding community in a new city 11:39 Teaching culture through music 14:17 A grandmother who built the community 16:09 Teaching spanish to new migrants 17:29 Sharing filipino culture through food 19:08 Art that tells a migrant story ========= ABOUT THE SHOW: The New Locals brings us stories of the different ethnic communities who’ve made their home in foreign lands around the world - people who migrated and over time, become one of the locals. ================== #CNAInsider #TheNewLocalsCNA #Barcelona #Spain #Filipino #Community #Migrants #DomesticWorkers #Culture For more, SUBSCRIBE to CNA INSIDER! https://cna.asia/insideryoutubesub Follow CNA INSIDER on: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cnainsider/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cnainsider/ Website: https://cna.asia/cnainsider

These Filipinos in Spain are just impressive speaking English, Tagalog, and Spanish like its nothing. Plus their dialect too if from another island. Yet most are humble with the secret level of intelligence that they possess.
This is great. Ironic how Spaniards are learning arnis, when you consider the early colonial Filipinos developed this martial arts against Spain. Mabuhay and Pilipinas. Viva Espana. Love, from America.
It’s kind of ironic that Arnis, once banned by Spain is now being taught there
I LOVE ❤ when I hear Filipinos speak Spanish in Filipino accent
Its really interesting that Filos have the privilege to have EU Spanish passport just by living in Spain for just 2 years! Big advantage bc Spanish passport is the strongest in the world and youre unlocking more opportunities!
Dude just spoke 3 different languages in the first 15 seconds of the video.
My boss is a filipinno, he is one of the nicest guys.... me and some colleagues ride or tumpang on his car from Jurong to Tampines daily for free to help us for the daily travel, such as an angel 👍👍👍
Kasarap el mejor restaurante Filipino.🎉🎉🎉
In the Netherlands, Indonesians are more immigrants since 1949, but Filipinos in Spain are much higher than before because of the bridge of Filipino and Spanish Culture and of course history including Dr. Jose Rizal 😊😊
This episode deserves a sequel. Please interview alexandra masangkay. Spanish actress of Filipino descent
We had the opportunity to eat at Kasarap Barcelona. The food was delicious and Arianne was a really an excellent host.
In my school we simply call this "arnis." I didn't know it's also called kali.
My daughter's patner is also teaching arnis in San Francisco, Ca. Many non Filipinos are learning it.
Growing up in the PH despite having Mexican and Basque ancestry always made Spain feel like a far away place for me. Watching this video, I am so glad to see how rich and big the Filipino community is in places like Barcelona. There is a comfort in knowing that when I visit Spain in the future, I won't be too far from home...
Great docu about Filipinos in Barcelona. It’s a wonderful feeling knowing that wherever you go there’s a community that supports you.
Not a depressive documentary about Filipinos from CNA this time..
Beautiful to see the Filipino language being preserved by the global diaspora.
SPAIN…… The second motherland.
Oh, wow. This felt especially timely to watch as the Philippines celebrates National Heritage Month!
should have filmed this in Madrid. There's many more of us. So many that they opened a Jollibee right in the heart of the city. And the first day it opened, there was a never-ending line of Filipinos. I see way more Filipinos in Madrid than Barcelona
