The history between the Philippines and China goes back a long way and further intensified when migrants made their way from China’s coastal regions to the Southeast Asian country in search of a better life for themselves and their families. It is of little wonder that some Filipinos like to say, “There’s a little Chinese in me.” And in the age of social media, more Filipinos are getting a chance to discover their Chinese roots, especially with the help of relative finder advocates.

This episode chronicles the journey of an elderly Filipino to China after he found out that he had relatives there. The trip to Quanzhou City in Fujian Province was emotional for Abraham Go whose father left behind a family in China that Go previously had not known existed.

Separately, CGTN correspondent Barnaby Lo goes on his own personal voyage to Jinjiang, also in Fujian Province, to discover his Chinese roots. Both sets of his family left China for the Philippines in the 1930s.
