It's very likely that the Ashkenazi Jewish is actually Sephardic Jewish ancestry (23andme can't tell the difference) that you got from your Spanish ancestor. If you look at Spanish people's 23andme results, nearly all of them have a bit of Jewish in their results due to the aftermath of the Reconquista. Basically, the Jews of Spain had been given a choice: Either convert to Catholicism or be expelled. Those who chose to convert married into the Spanish population, which is why so many Spaniards have a little bit of Jewish in them.

[@TESZMillan]

That’s fascinating. I’m sure the Filipinos were given a similar ultimatum. Probably expulsion was permanently meant for the Filipinos.

Part of your Spanish and Portuguese, Ashkenazi Jewish, and Iranian, Caucasian, and Mesopotamian definitely points to Sephardic Jewish ancestry. I say this because I’m of Hispanic descent(Central American) and almost all Latinos/Hispanics get the same results. The only thing you lack is the Indigenous and West African. 23andme lacks Sephardic Jewish samples so their algorithm splits it into the closest ethnicities that they match.

I'm curious to know if your biological father has taken any DNA tests. I've got relatives whose parents are both half white and half filipino, so the caucasian didn't come just from one side, but both sides, bringing out the recessive genes in the entire batch - all 5 of them have green/blue eyes, light skin, blond hair -- all on filipino features.

Some Spanish Jews became Crypto-Jews due to the Spanish Inquisition and later became totally assimilated into Christian culture over the centuries. However, the Jews from that region (Spain) are referred to as Sefardim (which means Spaniards). Your DNA results are claiming possible European Jewish ancestry (which are referred to as Ashkenazi, which means "Germans"). I'm not sure how to explain that one to you. There were Ashkenazi Jews that escaped the Nazis and settled in the Philippines, but your DNA percentage should be higher if that was the case. Good luck exploring.

So insightful! I talk about my German ties at 7:37. Even though it's a trace percentage, I consider my Ashkenazi Jewish genes to be quite significant simply because it came up in my results at all.

Spain was several times colonized by central European with the Habsburgs and the Bourbons. Another fact is that in Spain, there was an important Jewish population for 2700 years. Adding the fact that the expulsion of the Jewish ordered by Isabella the Catholic in 1492 concerned about religion, not about ethnicity. Also, with the Holy Inquisition, many of the converted Jewish decided to leave mainland Spain, and Latinos and Philippinos reflect that. And finishing whith the fact that Christopher Colombus set up from a harbour that's one hour and a half far from my house, the same expiration day for the Jewish to leave this country.

Also, can I share Isaiah 53:5 " But HE was WOUNDED For our TRANSGRESSIONS, he was BRUISED for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon Him, and with His STRIPES we are HEALED." God the Father loves you so much that He sent Holy Sinless Jesus (His Holy Son) to earth to be born of a virgin.Then, to grow up and die on a cross for our sins. He was in the tomb for 3 days, then Father God raised Holy and Sinless Jesus Christ (Y'shua) to Life! He appeared to people and went back to Heaven. We must receive Sinless Jesus sincerely to be God's child(John 1:12).After we get saved by grace through faith in Christ, if we truly love the Lord Jesus Christ, then we will obey Jesus(John 14:15). Mark 1:15 "And saying, the time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: Repent ye, and believe the gospel." Jesus said in John 14:15 "If you love Me, keep My commandments. "There's a real hell. It says in Revelation 21:8 "But for the cowardly, & unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, & immoral persons sorcerers & idolaters & all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire & brimstone..." Please sincerely receive Holy Jesus & put your true faith and trust in Him today and please repent.

It's very likely that your 0.2 percent AshkenaziDNA comes from your Spanish ancestor. (23andMe can't define between Sephardic and Askenazi). If it comed from the time the USA occupied the Philippines your percentage would of been much higher because its history is more recent. But most people in hispanic-america and people from Spain get similar results due to the Sephardic Jews. If you confirm that you only have one Spanish ancestor, that 0.2 percentage is a possibility that your Spanish ancestor might have had a few Sephardic Crypto Jews "Conversos" from the 15-16 century. There is another possibility that you might have more Spanish ancestors in your admixture than what your family knows, if that's the case, your Sephardic Jewish line can be admixed with many more Spaniards.

But majority of the soldiers stationed in the Philippines during the spanish colonization were Mexicans..not Spaniards

[@TESZMillan]

From what I’ve read, you are partially correct. Many of the soldiers did indeed come from Mexico, however, they originally came from Spain before settling in Mexico before then landing in the Philippines. I think there was a mix of both Spanish, Spanish-Mexican and Mexican soldiers in the Philippines.

[@AbelSFR]

These video are amusing. In all these filipino DNA test video 99% of the results of having small percentage of Jewish or native American come from way of Mexico or Peru. Not directly from Spain.

[@TESZMillan]

Really?? I didn't think the origins were from Mexico or Peru, but you are right that this DNA could have come through those regions of the world. Especially because the Spanish colonized those areas around the same time as the Philippines. Fascinating point!

[@AbelSFR]

@@TESZMillan the Spanish colonized the Americas first and then took indigenous people from the Americas as part of their army. The first recorded mestizo in the Philippines was an indigenous warrior with a Filipina native princess. the natives of the Philippines killed off all the Spaniards, but left the Mexican indigenous warrior to live.

Testers with Cebuano Ancestry will score European Ancestry to high percentages especially those whose family are from the Cebu City area since pre-Colonial Times. Also from the Negros Province

[@vanzealotbush2244]

​@@ALTAJR-07 Super agree with this. There are many mestizas/mestizos in Cebu, Bohol, Leyte and Negros provinces. Been to these places and I saw them randomly. Maybe because the Spaniards first landed in Cebu and then to the neighboring areas.

[@jackieortegadesigns326]

You may have Jewish ancestry but you can't be Jewish thru DNA. Jewish identity is passed on thru the mother. The only things you can be Jewish are either your mom is a Jew at the time you were born, you have unbroken matrilineal lineage that traces back to a female Jewish ancestor or you underwent a valid formal conversion to Judaism. The reason why Ashkenazi Jewish DNA appears in 23andMe is because Ashkenazim historically married within their own clan just like how the biblical patriarchs married their half-sister, cousins and so they underwent a bottleneck and developed a unique DNA marker. Meanwhile Sephardim was more relaxed and intermarried with local converts and other Jewish groups so they didn't undergo the same bottleneck that Ashkenazim had which explains why there is no Sephardic (or Mizrahi) Jewish DNA in any DNA tests. So the comments that your Jewish DNA is really Sephardic is false.

[@TESZMillan]

0-3 percent typical of Filipinos. Most have 0. This does not make Filipinos Hispanic. No one in the world thinks "Filipinos' when talking about Hispanics. They think "Cuban, Colombian, Mexican, etc." Be proud of your Asian roots.

[@TESZMillan]

I am very proud of my Asian roots. I actually think our long history of mixed heritages is what makes us special, just as being 100% Filipino can make someone special. And yes, there are a lot of Filipinos who have no Spanish heritage in their blood. That’s also just as remarkable as the many Filipinos who have some percentage of spanish heritage in them.

[@Dude-gx2ul]

Attention all Filipinos. You ARE NOT Hispanic! Be proud of your Asian roots.

[@TESZMillan]

I feel that if there is even a slight percentage of any heritage in your DNA, you can call yourself as being part of it. Since so many Spanish who colonized the Philippine islands had children, there is a large group of Filipinos who feel they are Hispanic as well as Filipino. But if someone is denying their Asian roots and only saying they are Hispanic, even though they are born from a Filipino family, then I feel that is unfortunate that they cannot recognize all parts of themselves. I believe we should be proud of all parts of ourselves, however large or small a percentage that exists.

[@joelolwertz5894]

Some filipinos have a small percentage of spanish bllod, like some natives have it in Latim America. If they wanto to call themselves 'hispanic' because they have 1% spanish DNA, that is their problem. They are definitely not Latin American and will never see them as such.
