YO_BOY_$OUTH$IDE :

Filipinos are black

Kitoy :

no. only 0.5% have actual spanish dna. most of us are austronesians mixed with a little of the east asian dna due to proximity. we are closer to malaysians and indonesians.

Theboynd :

Malaysians and Indonesians also look like that, are we Spanish mixed? 😅

kendrucooooo :

I got some Spanish idrk know how

310_lbc :

Not all. Having Spanish last name doesn’t make Filipinos having Spanish blood.

. :

I don’t understand why some Filipinos want to be European or Hispanic. Like dawg we are southeast Asian/austronesian or islander (not Pacific Islander) it’s not a personality trait or cool to be Hispanic bruh😭

Jollidee :

False. 99.9% of Filipinos have the same DNA of people from Spain. As we all do. Race and ethnicity do not exist.

J,J Mandella :

no,we're islander..

mikeyyy_707 :

i mean my side mom has 1 percent spanish 😂 but that’s it

Lycan :

Only certain parts of the Philippines had Spaniards living there, along with indigenous Mexicans. But many Philippine islands were mostly left to indigenous and “mixed” people (Chinese/austronesian/indian). People forget that we already had Chinese people trading and living in the Philippines BEFORE Europeans came. Along with our neighboring islands/kingdoms. Filipinos swear up and down they’re Spanish, and it’s due to our people losing our indigenous identity and pride. It sucks

HotSummerCali🇵🇭🇺🇸 :

No

Sigreento :

We’re south East Asian

philip_cabrera :

Much like how Haitians, Ivory Coast etc. speak French but aren't of French descent... Filipinos were once Spanish speaking (hence being able to blend into Mexican communities and Louisiana during the Galleon Trade). Who knows what would have happened if the US didn't gain the PI during the Spanish American war

Olga_530 CRCST :

Only small amount has Espaniard blood. Spain had everyone in the Philippines to change their last name to a Spanish last name.

david yisrael :

spanairds not Spanish

joan :

even if they do have it and assuming they’re not 50/50 that 1-5% some do came from mestizo soldiers from mexico

Charmaine Virgil :

I know but thanks

Supers122 :

nomocents :

make sense

elysiannara96 :

how i see it is that modern day filipinos are already mixed. i am not talking like european could be other mixes too. take a dna ancestry test... the answer is all individualized but the answers are that. some can ve completely pure filipinos too.

ET👾 :

It’s true I always told I was “part Spanish” bc I’m Filipino but I took an ancestry test n no Spanish at all

KᗩRS :

even if you have spanish ancestry as a Filipino, just say you’re Filipino. i’ve got Italian, Spanish, and Broad European ancestry and I understand Spanish, that doesn’t mean i identify with the culture who forcibly placed their toes on our soil and claim it as their own. be proud of your heritage 🇵🇭

ukreload01 :

Everyone wants European blood so bad 🤣🤣🤣

Pacific Reality :

The average Filipino look like Thai or Vietnamese
