I've been listening a lot recently to a lot of history podcasts, one such that impressed me greatly is Threads from the National Tapestry, focusing on the American Civil War.
Any equivalent in Philippine history? On YouTube, high quality content is scarce and scattered, and the few pieces are mostly generic knowledge that you get taught at school. There are a few gems, of course, like Jonas Tayaban, but listening to anyone who goes deep into topics such as historical anthropology, politics, military, and certain personalities in an hour-long format would be great. I would be interested to learn more about the intricacies of the Philippine revolution, especially.
Other than buying books (which, while I have the utmost respect for authors, I unfortunately don't have the time to read due to my busy schedule), getting hooked into my country's history is quite an extra effort.

I don't quite recall if he has made any videos on the Philippine Revolution yet but u/Styger21st has produced some detailed long form videos focused primarily on Philippine History through his channel The Ilustrado. That might be of interest to you.
PODKAS covers some interesting intersections between PH history, culture, and politics.
Yes to Jonas Tayaban. Very informative yet very entertaining. You also might wanna check out Kirby Araullo. He is nice to watch.
if you don't mind livestreamed talks where people interview researchers and historians then i recommend the monthly livestreams of
palm grass heritage hotel -cebu
history from the archives with prof. danny gerona (they've stopped uploading but they still have some magellan stuff)
La historia olivadas filipinas y mexico (philippines - mexico cultural exchange)

There's something about this guy's videos that just really annoys me, di ko ma pinpoint exactly why. That plus his whole "Datu and Lakan by birth" shtick.
I get your point. After a while, he seem to be just repeating the same knowledge he knew over and over again. He is not constantly digging up new information from records from different time periods and field of study. @gaodebazi from Instagram is better since he has shown patience in reading books specifically only related to Philippine History and Tagalog, but is also still constantly learning about it as he teaches about it.
