Ive also seen filipinos identifying themselves as islanders too.

If Filipinos are pacific islander wouldn't that mean Indonesians, Malaysians and even some areas of japan are pacific islanders too?...it doesnt make sense. Genuinely curious

[@JM-is4dz]

@@bbbkkk3034 ​ Hi! I'm not too sure if there's a history behind that (filipinos identifying themselves as islanders), but my theory is maybe because the Philippines is actually composed of thousands of islands (in filipino, "pulo"), and filipinos who actually lives in the Philippines, we would say "the island of Boracay" or the "island of Catanduanes." And so maybe, that's one reason why they would identify themselves as "islanders", not because they are gentically related to Pacific Islanders like Samoans (although, I think some filipinos also carry a tiny amount of polynesian blood), but because they grew up in an island, hence them being an islander. But in the Philippines, we don't care much about islander label to be honest haha. Now, if you're talking about Filipino-Americans identifying themselves as islanders, I think maybe lack of cultural heritage or misunderstanding in geography. Because the Philippines is right next to the Pacific Ocean and we're also close to some PI countries like Palau. Or maybe because we literally look like we came out of an island haha. There was a lot of blood mixing in the South east Asia, especially in PH (some due to colonization, modern migration, or interracial families) that's why we look the way we look right now haha. But geographically and historically speaking, we are for sure south-east asians. All in all, it really depends on the history of every families too, so maybe the one you talked to really have PI blood or just a misundertanding. Those are just theories based on my own observation. I wish I could give you a more accurate answer but my history is a little rusty now hahaha

This is already debunked. The most latest study reveals on Polynesian chickens dispersed all around the Pacific, the chicken's DNAs were traced back to the Philippines. This means that Polynesians originated from the Philippines bringing w/ them chickens which were later dispersed all around the Pacific islands. I am more inclined to follow the science. Filipinos as "pacific islanders" are attributed to American Occupation. Most of the books of american authorship refers to the Philippines people as pacific islanders. Asian is a later connotation primarily reinforced by the eventual regional groupings of the Philippines as part of South East Asia. Filipinos are mixed-ups of being latinos, americanized, pacific islanders, and asians. Cause that's what we really are due to occupation of spanish, american, japanese colonizers.

Also the discrimination against Indios were on a less intense level to Indios supportive under Spanish rule. It was there but the discrimination was mainly to those who rebelled against the Spanish. Basically they treated them in a certain way so they pit themselves against their own kind. They treated the Spanish supportive Indios a bit “better” than Indios from clans that were not under their authority (usually the unchristainized ones).

Korea for the longest time was a tributary state to either China or Japan on occasion. They were and stayed mostly homogenous because they were between two countries with violent and domineering rulers in their history. Trade was often limited to the Chinese, Japanese, the Mongols and the Dutch. Also the sea surrounding Japan is considered turbulent so if they did want to migrate or trade with other countries somewhere it would have been difficult and for the longest time Wakko pirates dominated the waters near Taiwan. If anything China and Japan as well as Confucianist ideals had significant influence in isolating Korea from most of Asia.

My sister took the same DNA test and had about the same result. Mostly Filipino, then Southern Chinese and some Indonesian. Some very small trace (less than 1%) of Native American, Japanese, Basque and Jewish ancestry. No Spanish DNA but most likely the Spanish ancestor came from a Basque majority region somewhere in Spain. That or most likely from Portugal (which has a number of Basque ancestry). I’m guessing Filipinos with that rare Basque ancestry probably were from Filipino mestizos. The Spanish DNA got dilute further down the ancestral line.

So if your a Filipino with a European ancestor 6 generations ago, that is (.5 to the power of 6 = 0.015625) 1.5% DNA (on average). Spanish colonization and immigration ended 6 generations ago (over 120 years) so this is a completely expected result if one of your ancestors was a Spaniard in 1890s. He's a little bit more than that so it means very likely that at least 2 people were Spanish in his ancestry 6 generations ago. The Welsh ancestry is probably around the same time. What one has to realize about DNA is that you only inherit half of your parent's total DNA. Which means the other half is not inherited by you (maybe your siblings). Its quite possible that after 6 generations, you won't have much DNA from a particular ancestor while your distant cousins might have (assuming no secret affairs are discovered). Even if the documentation is absolutely clear.

I think I can clear this up. Those referred to as Filipino-Americans (the children, grandchildren, or great-grand children of expat Filipino parents) have a tendency to have some Spanish ancestry, or as Paul found, some Basque ancestry, because Basque was the most numerous Iberian peninsula group in the Philippines during the Spanish colonial period. Many Filipinos with Spanish ancestry migrated out of the country during the following times: 1910s-1930s, 1945, and 1965-1970s. As far as I know, the Filipinos migrating more recently tend to be more Asian. And before someone brings up the Catalogo Alfabético de Apellidos, not all Filipino surnames are from the Catalogo. You can check which letter: B, F, T, and so on, corresponds to which town. So if you know what town your ancestor lived in and your surname doesn't begin with the assigned letter, it is most likely a surname which preceded the Catalogo. Some Filipino-Americans may have ancestry from European countries other than Spain or the Basque Autonomous Community, such as Italy, and as Paul found out, Wales. Some Filipino surnames are actually Italian and not Spanish. Other surnames I've not been able to find their country of origin. And as for your looks, you look actually more mestizo than the average Filipino-American five generations removed from their Spanish or other European ancestor or ancestors. Which province in the Philippines are your parents or grandparents from? You can look at the Spanish or Basque names in your province, and trace them to where they originate in Spain or the Basque Autonomous Community.

[@varoonnone7159]

Just like most older indian migrants to the UK were mixed when compared to those who came from the 1960s onwards and just like indo-portuguese who live in Portugal are more mixed than current day Goans

[@unemployedscholar4320]

@varoonnone7159 Filipino migration is different from Indian migration though, even though both groups' early migrations were both mixed. The early period of Filipino migration consisted of Filipinos coming from areas which had been severely devastated by the Philippine-American War and subsequent Americanization. Filipinos with a connection to the Spanish, both non-mestizo Filipinos adopting the Spanish language and literary forms as a vehicle for resistance against the American occupation, and mestizo Filipinos who were also hostile to domination by America, blocked the Americanization of the Philippines. The Americans thus focused their military, economic, and forced educational efforts to eradicate the Spanish-speaking centers of Filipino resistance against American domination. The result was the end of Spanish as a common language in the Philippines and the migration of a lot of mestizos and non-mestizos from the Spanish-speaking centers of Filipino resistance. I'm not familiar with the Indian situation, but the precursor to Filipino migration was revolution against the Americans.

i dont bet the basque were the most numerous in the philippines before among spanish filipinos, probably just was populous enough to be one of the big groups before

[@xXxSkyViperxXx]

some surnames in the philippines are basically from native languages or former sanskrit or malay or hokkien chinese loans that all later was just spelled in spanish orthography as how the spaniards would've spelled words and the spanish education system by the friars taught the few before that could afford it, since the spaniards brought the latin letters first to the philippines before the americans came introducing english in a mainstream sense.

The reason why 99.9% of Filipinos dont have Spanish blood is because when the Spaniards went to the Philippines, the Spaniards didn't impregnate native Filipino women since the Spaniards looked down on the Filipino people just because they had dark skin.

Before a man can marry, he must take a head of a woman's male family member in order for the woman's parents/family member to trust the man that he could protect their precious child. That's how valuable women to Filipinos are. Do you know Filipino Tribes practice headhunts before? What I've told you is one of those reasons.
