Where my spanish-pinoys at? My grand father and grand mother are from madrid spain. Migrated here in the philippines. My dad is pure español but was born here. My mom is a pinay. Let's unite! 🇪🇸🇵🇭💪💪💪 😁
😂😂😂any time a Flip says "pure Spanish" I know you are lying like all hell about being Spanish.😂😂😂I have family in Zaragoza Spain and Guadalajara Jalisco Mexico and the Spanish have never been fond of mixing with a bunch of chinos.😂😂😂
When looking at these Hispanics of Filipino descent, it is almost like looking at the descendants of Hispanics from Chile, Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Peru, Uruguay and Costa Rica, all with a common past, the result of the meeting of cultures, ethnic origin and form of life, very differents, whose ancestors five hundred years ago undertook a journey of no return, and today we are the result, greetings from Costa Rica in Central America........Costa Rica pura vida ....
@@josethomson6634 the only majority European looking population in Latin America are Argentina and Uruguay. Most countries in central and South America have strong native indigenous looks and populations.
It is kinda cool seeing how similar looking we are (I am Colombian), and seeing the slight to moderate indigenous Filipino influence in many of the people in this video, feels like looking at some parts of Latin America. I've always wanted to visit the Philippines, see if I pass as a local!
No te dejes ser engañado por este video. Soy latinoamericana y fui a filipino por unos días, esta gente nunca aparece porque son una minoría minúscula. Los filipinos en su mayoría son asiáticos en fenotipo y cultura, también los filipinos con esos rasgos que viste en el video son contados.
@@juanrossi731 you are right, many filipinos don't look like this people in the video but some of filipinos looks like them. They are only minority in philippines total population. Even if you saw a european looking filipinos they are not spanish descendants because they are the descendants of other european immigrants in the philippines. The spanish descendants in the philippines keep decreasing, and few years from now they will be replaced by the descendants of other europeans or white americans. Now that philippines are slowly becoming multiracial because of intermarriages with other foreign people. Most of this people are owned businesses while some are politician and celebrities.
It's rarely to see those mestizos here or even the most European looking Filipinos. The population were not heavily affected by Spaniards so almost 90-95% all still asian/austronesian looking.
Te quiero mi patria natal!

These aren’t the Filipinos that you see in the mainstream media since most of them belong to the elite class. Many thought they are Foreigners when in fact their ancestors have been here for hundreds of years already. Most of them speak local languages as well. I hope we can be united as one Philippines. No matter how we look like. Long live to the Filipino diversity! ❤️
Exactly there are some filipinos are ignorant about philippine history it's so sad that they have to explain themselves how they became filipino cos they look european
I'm Filipino but I'm white my grandmother believe that white Filipinos or spanish people was killed during world war 2 i don't know that's true but still today people thought i was a foreigner because I'm white 😅

I'm a filipina of strong Spanish descent in my father side, my 4th great grandfather was from Mexico, my papa told me that it was the Galleon trade between Philippines and Mexico that brought him here, and he married some local woman here in Mindanao.
I have a small theory I been told my Grandfather came from Spain when he was a child with his parent but my mom and her sisters ,there daughter look very filipina white pale skinned but those eyes are very Asian. I strongly believe my Grandfather came from Philippines right after Spain was defeated Spanish American war. My entire family is Mexicans.
a few times ive seen enrique iglesias wearing a t shirt with philippine maps printed on it as he was proud of his part filipino roots in a tv show here in nyc
This hits close to home. My grandfather is Spanish-Filipino and his family used to be members of the Spanish elite before the war but after the war he lost his parents and he only had his siblings and his titos and his titas to look after him which they didnt really took care of him well. He worked really hard as a working class man to look after my mom grandmother and her siblings all by himself to make them survive, quite a contrast from his pre-war life. He was a devout catholic, he would always help anyone who was in need even though he was as wealthy as the common man with nothing else. He died of a heart attack in the 90s and Its sad most of his family members are either abroad or no where to be seen.
These are upper class Spaniard-Filipinos that they still living in the Philippines. I have classmates in the 70s that you could distinctly tell they're mestizos.
Mga pobre na mestizo at mestiza marami en caso trabaho sa ilalim ng araw mas marami pa Jan sa mga maputi at matangos ilong . Many look like dark Indians or arabs admixture to many of our Filipino countrymen. A number of those in the pictures are not only upper classes, they're the landed gentry.
Aside from that, some Spanish married native Filipinos for almost 300 years during colonization. The ones who left was only the last batch of Spanish. But the Spanish within over 300 already became the descendants of tisoy and tisay nowadays.
That’s true. The last batch of Spanish came for business during the American period. Most of them still had Spanish citizenship, which made it easier for them to migrate back to Spain. Most of the ones who left didn’t have deep roots in the Philippines
@@marimar3161 millions of Meztiso-Meztisa we're killed by the Americans that's the reason why they left Philippines and I don't think none of them were left behind.
@@marimar3161 good to know to be honest with you I have 1/8 spanish Blood My Lola is Half Filipino-Spanish. But My eyes are small I look like Chinese and my skintone is reddish it looks like white mix with red.
@@marimar3161 it happened (killing of Spanish-speaking Filipinos and mestizos/mestizas, whether intentionally or by accident, by both the Japanese invaders and Americans) during the last 2 wars, according to a lot of older-generation Spanish-speaking Filipinos in the country, but yes, many of them still live here. in fact, some of those who left for Spain still came back to the Philippines or at least their descendants did.
My great grandfather was a judge and mayor of a major city in the Southern PI. I understand that he was fluent in Spanish (he was a top lawyer in his area) and that the courts and government conducted all official business in Spanish until after the Americans took over the PI from Spain. The individuals depicted here are Filipinos of Spanish descent--a relatively small % of the total population.
The Philippines was a colony of Spain for 336 years while Mexico became a VICEROY of Spain and governed the Philippines on behalf of Spain for 100 years. Dutch occupied the Philippines for 5 years, then British for 5 years and Americans ruled the land for 50 years. During World War 2, Jewish arrived, then at the time of cold war White Russians fled here and many Middle Eastern ran to the Philippines to escape Iran-Iraq conflict.
Im 3rd generation portuguese/ spanish. I am from Bacolod, Negros island and theres a lot of spanish families in my island. I no longer live in Negros but every 2 years i visit my family and relatives. Amazing video here. Muchas gracias por compartir.
My great great grandpa was a Castizo, basiacally around 70% European and rest Filipino. His father might have been half filipino and half British (Juan Robinson) while his mom was a Spanish-Filipina (Jacinta San Luis y Mendieta) with Basque and Sephardic roots. They were cousins to the Mendieta family and we are related to the Aboitiz. The difference is that, after my great great grandpa, my family kept marrying pure Filipinos while the Aboitiz kept marrying with European Filipinos. They never left the Philippines, they fought for the country during the Philippine-American war and World War 2. We are descendants of Basques and Jews that were fleeing from Spain for a better life and they made the Philippines their home. If it wasn't for that, I would not be here right now.
I'm somewhat a 5th generation spanish descent. My great great grandfather was a Spanish merchant during the Spanish occupation. My grandmother still inherrited Hispanic traits with her blue eyes.
That’s a myth passed thru generations. Most Filipinos believe that, but most parents are lying to their kids because they have colonial mentality. Filipinos don’t have Spanish blood, otherwise they would look like Spanish, just like some Mexicans do.
Good for you to have trace your descendant origin but for me the picture of my grandma of fair skin with aquiline nose the only evidence that I could prove that we have a bit of Spanish blood in us.
Filipinos that brag regarding Spanish blood are beyond pathetic. That one’s feel better that other Filipinos. I’ve met many “mixed” Filipinos and they always asked st4pid questions if I’m pure Mexican because I’m white. I always tell them that if you are Mexican and your parents are foreigner, you are just Mexican because no one claims having the nationality of their parents.
@@blueblaze9862 yeah. A lot of filipinos are misinformed by the real history. They don't really know what the U.S did. Being part of the Hispanic Empire in the past gave us privilege to evolve.
Wow...my maternal grandma was half-Spanish from Bicol, her father was born in Nueva Caceres (Naga City), Ambos Camarines (Camarines Sur), but were originally according to my grandma from Alicante, Spain. That's why most of us has prominent nose (matangos in Tagalog)...hahaha The legacy of my late grandmother.

@@sirussoriano1321 It's a huge misconception that there was an influx of Spanish settlers in the Philippines. There are Filipinos with Spanish ancestry, but just like what Chika said, it would only be a minuscule percentage. Filipinos have a cultural rather than genetic influence from Spain. If you are basing your Spanish ancestry off of what your family's oral tradition says, then it's probably too irrelevant to even adhere or identify as. We should remove the social hierarchy in the Philippines, because Austronesians and indigenous Aeta/Negritos should not feel inferior in their own land. We have intricate and beautiful pre-colonial history, contrary to what they brainwash us to believe. Embrace us!♥️

The truth is most Spaniards who came to the Philippines are from Andalucia, Basque Region, and Madrid. Greeks from Malta, as well as Italians from Sardinia, arrived with them; then French from Gibraltar and Camargue migrated to the Philippines too and the Portuguese settled in many provinces too. These people started to call themselves “FILIPINOS.” They wanted to break away from the power of the KING OF SPAIN. Only those “Castilians, Argentinians and Mexicans are loyal to the king during that time.” They studied and learned all the native dialects in the country; they mixed the Spanish creoles “Ermiteño and Basque Caviteño” with the local dialects and created the “TAGALA” known as TAGALOG. The Native locals of the country were called “ INDIOS.” They thought they were similar with the Incans, Aztecs, and Pacific Islanders.” Governor Narciso Claveria not only imposed the Spanish Names but FORCE ALL OF THESE EUROPEANS TO INTERMMARY WITH THE LOCALS. NOLI ME TANGERE explains that the “MODERN FILIPINOS are a mixture of EUROPEANS, LATINOS, AND ASIANS.”
Many died, but most did not. Newspaper articles from the time show that only a couple hundred died. And census data from before and after the war show that the number of Spanish speakers actually increased slightly after the war.
@@leiferr that's total Filipinos. But Spanish newspapers at the time showed that only a couple hundred Spanish citizens died. Also, the number of Spanish speakers from the census before the war and the census after the war actually showed a slight increase in the number of Spanish speakers.
What does harnizo/Caztizo mean? I was somewhat surprised to meet almost 100% Spanish looking Filipinos when I visited the country. Some of them apparently speak a different language that sounds even more indigenous, lol!
I met some of these people and they are really out-of-touch from Spain and Latin America! They speak English with an AMERICAN accent for christ sake! And they're more nativists than the native Filipinos!
Yes, the spanish descent people here in Negros Oriental, speaks perfect english,american accent. I never heard them speak spanish. I, with only a quarter spanish genes knows basic castillian than most pure ones here. :)
Maybe some of them are Americans. We knew that almost of Filipinos very close to the American People even the British. You know They can Understand each other by using English.
My friend is a Legarda, and she is very ‘nativist’ as you put it. You’re absolutely right, not sure if they are all the same but just like the Latin Americans that are more than 80% Spanish, they are very proud Colombians/Venezuelans.
For you info, "German Ethnographer Fedor Jagor using Spanish censuses, estimated that one-third of the island of Luzon, which holds half of the Philippine population, had varying degrees of Spanish and Latin American ancestry.[1] Corroborating these Spanish era estimates, an anthropological study published in the Journal of Human Biology and researched by Matthew Go, using physical anthropology, concluded that 12.7% of Filipinos can be classified as mestizo (Latin American mestizos or Malay Spanish mestizos), 7.3% as Indigenous American, and European at 2.7%. Thus, as much as 20% of those sampled bodies, which were representative of the Philippines, translating to about 20 million Filipinos, can be physically classified as mestizo in appearance."
Es una lástima que los descendientes de españoles en Filipinas no hayan conservado la lengua española. Sus hijos tendrían una gran ventaja si fueran multilingües en un mundo cada vez más globalizado, donde el idioma español adquiere cada día más relevancia.

I also have Spanish ancestry my paternal grandmother's father is a criollo a Spanish who has incorporated himself with the locals,his family swore allegiance with the Philippine republic so that why they stayed but I know little of my great grandpa but my grandma does, though she has no photograph of him her Spanish ancestry is still pretty evident which goes to show that she didn't make up having Spanish ancestry which alot of filipinos do..we should stop claiming to have Spanish ancestry even though we have no proof because we are already great beacuse we're Filipino♥️
Even if this people doesn't look filipino, they are still filipinos because they are filipino citizen and was born and raised here. They are just minority group in our country.

La razón principal por la que los filipinos no hablan español podría atribuirse a los frailes/sacerdotes que optaron por aprender los muchos idiomas locales en lugar de enseñarles el idioma español a los filipinos.
La razón principal fue que no hubo una migración a gran escala como la hubo en Latinoamérica. Registros contabilizaron no más de 7k españoles en aquella época.

Did they maintain Spanish as their first language? In my mother’s side, the last generation that spoke it since birth was my great grandfather’s generation. My grandfather may have understood it. My mother learned it in school & so did I. Now all my kids are also learning it in school.

No. The galleon trade ended when Mexico became independent from Spain in the early 1800s. Then Spaniards starting coming to the Philippines directly from Spain because they only had the Philippines and a few other colonies left. They came even into the American period, until WW2. The Filipinos in this video are mostly descendants of Spaniards who came directly from Spain from the mid 1800s to the early 1900s
@@marimar3161 yes it unfortunately ended but the Aztecs, Mayans, Incans and native americans had already established in the philippines to deal business with china and began to intermarried to the native filipinos.

Most if not ALL these Spaniards DO NOT live in the Philippines. They live in Spain and Europe full time and travel to the Philippines for vacation since they own vacation homes and businesses in the Philippines so don't get it twisted since this video is VERY misleading. Spanish families have owned businesses in the Philippines for generations, but do not call the Philippines home. I'm Spanish and I know this first hand.
FACT. The Spanish hardly ever miscegenated with these Chinos. They love claiming that mythical Spanish ancestry when they look straight up Chino. I have family in Zaragoza Spain and Hamburg Germany.

I know why. I have mestizo and mestiza friends from upper-middle to upper-class families. Most of them have houses and live at USA than Spain. Generally speaking, if you speak Spanish in the US you'd be interpreted as an immigrant or a criminal. And that's how they lost interest in learning the language.
@@e.g.9809 BOBO! there are people they called “Tonatras” which are Spaniards straight from Spain mixed with Austronesian blood which are the nativos. Though they are only in small percent, specifically the rich and upperclassmen.
@@alfonsotorres4580 No sé si esas cifran son ciertas, o no. Pero lo cierto es que en Méjico la población es indígena, donde lo hispano brilla por su ausencia. Las imágenes de estas personas del vídeo pueden pasar perfectamente por españoles. Los mejicanos no pasan por españoles.
@@torrezno1990 Estás completamente delirando, alrededor del 75% de la población mexicana tiene antepasados de Europa, y he visto muchos de ellos con ojos de diferentes colores, y su apariencia física es fuerte dentro de su origen de raza caucazoide con los indígenas, y son nacidos en México. Filipinas solo tiene del 1%-3% de su población tiene antepasados europeos pero no son puros según la Universidad de Stanford, y no he visto a ninguno con ojos de color. Es probable que esas personas hayan nacido fuera de Filipinas, eso no cuenta porque yo trabajo junto con estas personas.
@@torrezno1990 A ver, más del 12% de la población mexicana son blancos caucazoide puros, y el 63% son mestizos con diferentes tipos de fenotipo de origen en México porque México no es el sureste de Asia, y no es un país aislado como lo es Filipinas. México está en América del Norte, vecino de Canadá, Estados Unidos, y Cuba. La razón por la que Filipinas no recibió casi ningún europeo porque era un territorio ubicado geográficamente más lejos del archipiélago de aislamiento, los filipinos eran vulnerables a las enfermedades, la cultura se mantuvo intacta, la mayoría de los españoles nunca se casaron con los lugareños porque solo unos pocos valientes españoles fueron al Filipinas, ya que había demasiadas islas, y casi ninguna ciudad colonial, y pueblos en el lugar. Después de que llegaron los estadounidenses, casi eliminaron el idioma español por completo hasta que Filipinas obtuvo su independencia de los EE.UU. Esas personas que vemos son filipinos nacidos fuera de Filipinas. Hablé muchos filipinos, y les hice una pregunta simple si conocen a alguien que tenga ojos de color en persona, y ¿sabes cuál fue su respuesta? Ninguno de ellos lo hace porque tienen ojos marrones oscuros. Tantos filipinos que se engañan pensando que son españoles cuando en realidad solo el 1% al 3% de la población son descendientes de los españoles, y solo el 2,67% habla español, y estos son mestizos no europeos puros. Los filipinos tienen fuertes raíces chinas, y polinesias con ojos rasgados, no importa cuántas veces intenten mezclarse en otros países, todavía se verán mongoloides-asiáticos. Nuevamente, los filipinos no son hispanos, y nunca serán parte de América Latina porque la mayoría de los pinoys no hablan español, y muy poca de su población posee raíces europeas, y todavía parecen mongoloides asiáticos. Tu ignorancia, y falta de educación dice todo sobre ti, lo cual es realmente triste. Y en resumidas cuentas, los filipinos no son más que un montón de aspirantes. Eso es un hecho.
@@alfonsotorres4580 Claro. Sin embargo, en Filipinas sí hay descendientes de españoles étnicos. Esa circunstancia en América sólo se da en Cuba, donde hubo migraciones masivas de españoles hasta hace sesenta años. Por eso digo que los filipinos del vídeo son claramente hijos y nietos de españoles, al igual que en Cuba, donde también hay millones de hispano descendientes. Méjico no fue un país receptor de españoles de ahí que no haya personas de ascendencia española, y por lo tanto, no haya personas con rasgos hispanos. Méjico es junto con Bolivia, Perú y Guatemala, un país esencialmente indígena.

Some of them are in show bussines.. The palanca clan, barreto, Patrick and cheska Garcia clan, atayde, Michele Vito, monching and Janine guttierez, the loyzagas, even in sport like Ramon Fernandez and Francis arnaiz, Rodney brondial and I think the paras siblings...
michael edilo most of the people in the video aren’t famous at all. There are a few celebrities and some well-known businesspeople, but most are just regular people
according to the uploader Marimar,"Most Spanish-Filipinos moved to the suburbs of Metro Manila when Intramuros was destroyed during WW2. So you'll find them mostly in Makati, Parañaque, Muntinlupa, and areas directly to the South of Metro Manila. Outside of Metro Manila, you can find some families in Cebu, Panay, Negros, Bicol, a couple families in Ilocos too. " Honestly, in my own opinion Zamboanga too as well.
Most of the migrants to the Philippines during the Spanish era were actually Mexican Mestizos instead of pure Spaniards from Spain, Spaniards only directly came after the Mexican war of independence. According to this anthropology study, only 2.7% of Filipinos look European but those that look Hispanic (Latino) are 12.7% www.academia.edu/38744342 During the 1600s, out of a total Philippine population of 667,612 people, of which: 20,000 were Chinese migrant traders,at different times: around 15,600 individuals were Latino soldier-colonists who were cumulatively sent from Peru and Mexico and they were shipped to the Philippines annually, 3,000 were Japanese residents, and 600 were pure Spaniards from Europe. There were only 600 Spaniards vs 15,600 Latino Mestizos in a population of 667,612. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_the_Philippines
@@renesarabia6442 Spaniards only came after the war of independence? You don’t understand that the people who founded Mexico are criollos (pure Spanish) born in the new world. They’re generational Spaniards. Just because they call themselves Mexican /Latin American/ Colombian/ Venezuela/Argentinian can still mean they’re ancestry and dna is from Spain lol
@@biotyf4665 They differ from Spaniards from Spain by having varying degrees of Native American ancestry. Mexicans outnumbered Spaniards in the Philippine setting, up until the 1800s, that was when Spanish populations increased in the Philippines.
Many of them are in the entertainment industry until now like Pilita Corrales and her family, the Gutierrez, Gomez, etc. Others shown here are businessmen like the Ayalas and Enrique Razón. I saw one here, Bianca Araneta, used to be a commercial model and comes from a family of Filipino mestizos. Many of them are just around the metro and places in Visayas and northern part of Mindanao like in the Zamboanga Peninsula and Cagayan de Oro. However, most of their children only speak Filipino and English nowadays.
I see them all the time in Cebu at Casino Espanol. Lots of Spanish families here still and also from surrounding Visayan islands (e.g. hacienderos). They hang out there a lot. Yes, the younger ones don't speak Spanish anymore, usually their grandparents speak Spanish (with a distinct Spanish Filipino accent). Some of them are mixed Filipinos already (e.g. My mom is Corrales but only my grandfather's generation spoke Spanish at home). But, they do offer Spanish lessons in the club so a lot of parents send their kids for Spanish lessons although they don't speak as a first language anymore but could understand.
There number yee is tiny small minority and only 2.5% of the population are Spanish filipino majority are of them mestizo and Castizo aka mixed filipino and spanish Ancenstry and there very few of them who are still Pure criollo Ancenstry and but majority of them still look european despite having Admixture

Scherbyetz Spanish-Filipinos don’t usually migrate. It’s mostly middle-class Filipinos who leave the Philippines. But of course, even if you saw a Spanish-Filipino in Canada, you probably wouldn’t know it because they look white or Latino.

My great grandma was half Spanish and her son my Grandfather married my grandmother whom was also half Spanish being that her father was a doctor from Catalanonia. That is from the paternal side. My maternal side were also mestiso Spanish wherein some siblings looked so European and others like mixed Chinese. My maternal grandpa has the Spanish features while his wife looks very Chinese. My generation, siblings and cousins came out differently. A considerable lot still have that string Spanish genes, others look like Mexicans while the rest chinitos. We lost contact with many Hispanic families starting from the Middle fifties but looking back at old pictures of the circle of friends and relative that my grandparents had, I’d say that many looked like pure blooded Europeans and mestizos.

I can speak for the ones in Cebu. I know some, but usually not anymore, they speak mostly English but could understand Spanish. Parents let them take Spanish lessons at Instituto Cervantes when it was still around in Cebu. After that Casino Espanol always had Spanish lessons, but it's not like they speak it everyday at home.

You got that right they look like common Mexican- Castizos

No te dejes ser engañado por este video. Soy latinoamericana y fui a filipino por unos días, esta gente nunca aparece porque son una minoría minúscula. Los filipinos en su mayoría son asiáticos en fenotipo y cultura, también los filipinos con esos rasgos que viste en el video son contados.
@@juanrossi731 you are right, many filipinos don't look like this people in the video but some of filipinos looks like them. They are only minority in philippines total population. Even if you saw a european looking filipinos they are not spanish descendants because they are the descendants of other european immigrants in the philippines. The spanish descendants in the philippines keep decreasing, and few years from now they will be replaced by the descendants of other europeans or white americans. Now that philippines are slowly becoming multiracial because of intermarriages with other foreign people. Most of this people are owned businesses while some are politician and celebrities.
It's rarely to see those mestizos here or even the most European looking Filipinos. The population were not heavily affected by Spaniards so almost 90-95% all still asian/austronesian looking.

He worked really hard as a working class man to look after my mom grandmother and her siblings all by himself to make them survive, quite a contrast from his pre-war life. He was a devout catholic, he would always help anyone who was in need even though he was as wealthy as the common man with nothing else.

Aside from that, some Spanish married native Filipinos for almost 300 years during colonization. The ones who left was only the last batch of Spanish. But the Spanish within over 300 already became the descendants of tisoy and tisay nowadays.

During World War 2, Jewish arrived, then at the time of cold war White Russians fled here and many Middle Eastern ran to the Philippines to escape Iran-Iraq conflict.

@@sirussoriano1321 It's a huge misconception that there was an influx of Spanish settlers in the Philippines. There are Filipinos with Spanish ancestry, but just like what Chika said, it would only be a minuscule percentage. Filipinos have a cultural rather than genetic influence from Spain. If you are basing your Spanish ancestry off of what your family's oral tradition says, then it's probably too irrelevant to even adhere or identify as. We should remove the social hierarchy in the Philippines, because Austronesians and indigenous Aeta/Negritos should not feel inferior in their own land. We have intricate and beautiful pre-colonial history, contrary to what they brainwash us to believe. Embrace us!♥️

The truth is most Spaniards who came to the Philippines are from Andalucia, Basque Region, and Madrid. Greeks from Malta, as well as Italians from Sardinia, arrived with them; then French from Gibraltar and Camargue migrated to the Philippines too and the Portuguese settled in many provinces too. These people started to call themselves “FILIPINOS.” They wanted to break away from the power of the KING OF SPAIN. Only those “Castilians, Argentinians and Mexicans are loyal to the king during that time.” They studied and learned all the native dialects in the country; they mixed the Spanish creoles “Ermiteño and Basque Caviteño” with the local dialects and created the “TAGALA” known as TAGALOG. The Native locals of the country were called “ INDIOS.” They thought they were similar with the Incans, Aztecs, and Pacific Islanders.” Governor Narciso Claveria not only imposed the Spanish Names but FORCE ALL OF THESE EUROPEANS TO INTERMMARY WITH THE LOCALS. NOLI ME TANGERE explains that the “MODERN FILIPINOS are a mixture of EUROPEANS, LATINOS, AND ASIANS.”

Exactly. Somehow people here either don't know or are ignorant about it. They don't know the purpose of this video.
For you info, "German Ethnographer Fedor Jagor using Spanish censuses, estimated that one-third of the island of Luzon, which holds half of the Philippine population, had varying degrees of Spanish and Latin American ancestry.[1] Corroborating these Spanish era estimates, an anthropological study published in the Journal of Human Biology and researched by Matthew Go, using physical anthropology, concluded that 12.7% of Filipinos can be classified as mestizo (Latin American mestizos or Malay Spanish mestizos), 7.3% as Indigenous American, and European at 2.7%. Thus, as much as 20% of those sampled bodies, which were representative of the Philippines, translating to about 20 million Filipinos, can be physically classified as mestizo in appearance."
Es una lástima que los descendientes de españoles en Filipinas no hayan conservado la lengua española. Sus hijos tendrían una gran ventaja si fueran multilingües en un mundo cada vez más globalizado, donde el idioma español adquiere cada día más relevancia.

No. The galleon trade ended when Mexico became independent from Spain in the early 1800s. Then Spaniards starting coming to the Philippines directly from Spain because they only had the Philippines and a few other colonies left. They came even into the American period, until WW2.

he gave me a heads up cus they don't have records of his family tree cus he grow up poor, so it's not a family priority. they don't even have a family picture cus he said only rich ppl can afford it and he's educ background was only first grade and didn't even finish it!- this is from what he remember (he's 95 now, so it's hard for him to remember all)
so her mom's a tornatras (pinoy-chinese-spanish) and his father's a native bisaya from cebu migrated here in sta.cruz, laguna, he only remember that in her mom side, they are a generation of mestizos and have mestizo relatives from pila, laguna. the funny thing about genetics is my grandpa's siblings have different skin type and looks: 4 of them have various level of whiteness in the skin and have an ambiguous facial feature, and the 3 of them looks like his dad: brown skin and looks like a stereotypical pinoy.
there's a time i brought my lolo to church and some ka-churchmate asked (not offensive tho) lolo mo yan? eh!? talaga? because his skin, ears, nose, and lips (not eyes tho) resemble that old man in the 4th pic, in contrast to me: brown skin, native nose, plumper lips (i look like my dad, thankfully) i don't take it as discrimination, honestly i find it hilarous!

Sadly most mestizos here in the Philippines no longer speak Spanish they lost ability to speak Spanish
there still only 550.000 to 800.000 people speak spanish in philippines

Por eso digo que los filipinos del vídeo son claramente hijos y nietos de españoles, al igual que en Cuba, donde también hay millones de hispano descendientes. Méjico no fue un país receptor de españoles de ahí que no haya personas de ascendencia española, y por lo tanto, no haya personas con rasgos hispanos. Méjico es junto con Bolivia, Perú y Guatemala, un país esencialmente indígena.
Nice to watch, stay safe and God Bless ❤️
la pregunta es... conservaron el español?
En su mayoría, hablan inglés o taglish en casa, como otros filipinos ricos. Solo los viejos hablan español
@@minim6981 que mal.... entoncesde españoles ya no tendrian casi nada!
@@andresbermudezrizzo59 Los hispano-filipinos tienen mucho dinero y buenas vidas. Por eso decidieron quedarse en Filipinas. Filipinas se ha portado bien con ellos
@@minim6981 si entiendo, pero ua son filipinos, aunque tienen sangre española... por ejemplo todos los blancos y mestizos en el continente americano de la parte que fue de españa, somos descendientes de españoles.

Who is 0:22 ? Would it be possible to list out every family here, please?
That's Carlos Aboitiz. He's a 5th generation Filipino, and both of his parents are Filipino.

I'm not going to list all the families here because a lot of them are private, not famous families.
Some of them are in show bussines.. The palanca clan, barreto, Patrick and cheska Garcia clan, atayde, Michele Vito, monching and Janine guttierez, the loyzagas, even in sport like Ramon Fernandez and Francis arnaiz, Rodney brondial and I think the paras siblings...
michael edilo most of the people in the video aren’t famous at all. There are a few celebrities and some well-known businesspeople, but most are just regular people
@@minim6981 Those regular people look like elitists.
@@jcomandante6629 well, most of them are voting for BBM. I can tell you that.
I wonder where can i find them? Feels like i am the only spanish-pinoy here in metro manila. 😭😭😭
according to the uploader Marimar,"Most Spanish-Filipinos moved to the suburbs of Metro Manila when Intramuros was destroyed during WW2. So you'll find them mostly in Makati, Parañaque, Muntinlupa, and areas directly to the South of Metro Manila. Outside of Metro Manila, you can find some families in Cebu, Panay, Negros, Bicol, a couple families in Ilocos too. " Honestly, in my own opinion Zamboanga too as well.
Go to Cebu & Bacolod, you will find your own kind.
Most of the migrants to the Philippines during the Spanish era were actually Mexican Mestizos instead of pure Spaniards from Spain, Spaniards only directly came after the Mexican war of independence. According to this anthropology study, only 2.7% of Filipinos look European but those that look Hispanic (Latino) are 12.7%
www.academia.edu/38744342
During the 1600s, out of a total Philippine population of 667,612 people, of which: 20,000 were Chinese migrant traders,at different times: around 15,600 individuals were Latino soldier-colonists who were cumulatively sent from Peru and Mexico and they were shipped to the Philippines annually, 3,000 were Japanese residents, and 600 were pure Spaniards from Europe. There were only 600 Spaniards vs 15,600 Latino Mestizos in a population of 667,612.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_the_Philippines
@@renesarabia6442 Spaniards only came after the war of independence? You don’t understand that the people who founded Mexico are criollos (pure Spanish) born in the new world. They’re generational Spaniards. Just because they call themselves Mexican /Latin American/ Colombian/ Venezuela/Argentinian can still mean they’re ancestry and dna is from Spain lol
@@biotyf4665 They differ from Spaniards from Spain by having varying degrees of Native American ancestry. Mexicans outnumbered Spaniards in the Philippine setting, up until the 1800s, that was when Spanish populations increased in the Philippines.
Where i could see them?
You can see them in Las Filipinas
Many of them are in the entertainment industry until now like Pilita Corrales and her family, the Gutierrez, Gomez, etc. Others shown here are businessmen like the Ayalas and Enrique Razón. I saw one here, Bianca Araneta, used to be a commercial model and comes from a family of Filipino mestizos. Many of them are just around the metro and places in Visayas and northern part of Mindanao like in the Zamboanga Peninsula and Cagayan de Oro. However, most of their children only speak Filipino and English nowadays.
I see them all the time in Cebu at Casino Espanol. Lots of Spanish families here still and also from surrounding Visayan islands (e.g. hacienderos). They hang out there a lot. Yes, the younger ones don't speak Spanish anymore, usually their grandparents speak Spanish (with a distinct Spanish Filipino accent). Some of them are mixed Filipinos already (e.g. My mom is Corrales but only my grandfather's generation spoke Spanish at home). But, they do offer Spanish lessons in the club so a lot of parents send their kids for Spanish lessons although they don't speak as a first language anymore but could understand.
And also lungsod ng maynila is spanish speaking city.
no its not
@@DangIt2024 it is
I believe it was known as chavacano de ermita.
@@ourheritagebymichaeledilo8343 not chavacano but pure spanish
What??
Some still look filipino😢 and thus populus is a tiny minority
There number yee is tiny small minority and only 2.5% of the population are Spanish filipino majority are of them mestizo and Castizo aka mixed filipino and spanish Ancenstry and there very few of them who are still Pure criollo Ancenstry and but majority of them still look european despite having Admixture
Spanish blood is very strong😆😂...it wiped out filipino native blood even it has only 50% in their veins🤷♂️😆😂
What? 50? Dude, no more than 3% of Filipinos have Spanish background. Look yourself in the mirror and then tell me if you look like the guys in the video.
@@e.g.9809 I didn't mean a whole population. I mean if someone is mixed even he has 50% of spanish blood, he/she looks more european than mixed.
@@e.g.9809 Hahaha you don't understand what he is saying 😂. Even if only 50% of their blood are spanish they look pretty european than mestizo in mexico who looks indian😂
All Filipinos are from Spanish descent!!! Just like a lot of Hispanic heritages.
😂😂😂BS face Filipinos are a bunch of short brown Indios who wish they were Spanish 😂😂😂
Real solo pocos son los descendientes de Españoles en Filipinas de manera parcial y unos mas contados son puramente españoles que se mesclan solo con estadounidenses@@alexisarrizon6083
The people before the colonization are of Autronesian Descent. Some are of Malay descent….These people in the videos doesn’t look like the Filipinos in the Philippines???? Have you been to the Philippines? The only commonality between Filipinos and Hispanics are drugs and crimes…😂😊
Minority
Tama, mabuhay ang bansang malay
Hindi tayo malay nuh, ang mga malay nanggaling din sa austronesian race mula sa mga native taiwanese, jan nanggaling lahat ng mga austronesian sa south east asia hanggang new zealand polinesia micronesia hawaii.
@@ourheritagebymichaeledilo8343lol we are MALAY, Malay is a branch of the austronesian family. Mag basa k minsan
@@biotyf4665 I myself has a Spanish descent, because of my grandpa but I don't really speak Spanish. Filipinos need to understand that not everyone is pure like you, no need for inferiority complex since classism by blood is non-existent or few and in fact pure native filipinos bullies those who aren't. Austronesians kayo, mga backwards at hardheaded. Pure filipinos are mostly in the visayan, Mindanao regions and Indonesian ppl.
@@asabovesobelow851 actually, visayas have a lot of spanish -filipinos mestizos (Cebu,Negros regions,Ilo ilo,Bacolod for examples). good number of mestizas too in Zamboanga in mindanao as well. and Indonesians are not "pure" Filipinos. they are literally from another country. Why in God's name you include them in the list?!lol
Beloved spain of my fathers
Filipinos are straight up Asian.😂 My family are from Guadalajara Jalisco Mexico and are less than 2 generations of. Mind you my great grand parents were Spanish, Irish and German descent on both sides. I am ethnically European and don't understand the Pinoy obsession with these fake claims to being European 😂 unless you are like my family and know exactly what generation came to.
These are Filipinos of Spanish descent. I never said these are regular Filipinos. Obviously they’re not

No. That’s Peque Gallaga- director

@@marimar3161 Peque came from bacolod, my city of birth.
I wish I could see such Spaniard-like Filipinos. Over here they're all brown and short 😂
where is "over here"? Maybe you see them but don't know they're Filipinos. Or maybe you live in a place where only Austronesian Filipinos migrate, not Spanish-Filipinos.
Marimar I'm in Canada. They're EVERYWHERE here
Scherbyetz Spanish-Filipinos don’t usually migrate. It’s mostly middle-class Filipinos who leave the Philippines. But of course, even if you saw a Spanish-Filipino in Canada, you probably wouldn’t know it because they look white or Latino.
Spanish Filipino doesn't migrate cause they are mostly wealthy here in Philippines so they don't need to migrate and look for money.
@@user-qz9zu1fq9k Where you in Canada, I'm here in BC and the average Filipino that I see doesn't go any higher than 5'1".
What's the 2nd song?
There’s more Of Spanish Filipino in the Philippines
These people do look mestizo. However all Filipinos in TH-cam who self identify as mestizo end up realizing they have
Most Filipinos consider themselves moreno, not mestizo. Maybe 5% of the population identifies as mestizo.
@@marimar3161 so are the families in this video white? Or do they consider themselves part of that 5% Mestizo
@@NaksPizza they’re mestizos. The term “white” doesn’t really exist in the Philippines, unless you’re referring to foreigners
MY GRAND PA IS A SPANISH FILIPINO NAME VIRGILIO RAMOS BUSTAMANTE BEACAUSE HIS FATHER IS A SPANISH-FILIPINO 8%
MY GRANDMA IS A NATIVE FILIPINA AND SIDE TO MY MOTHER IS A FULL NATIVE FILIPINO HER FATHER AND RESULT OF MY GENE SPANISH FILIPINO NATIVE 1% TO MY Brother
BUT I AM PROUD FULL FILIPINO
My great grandma was half Spanish and her son my Grandfather married my grandmother whom was also half Spanish being that her father was a doctor from Catalanonia.
That is from the paternal side.
My maternal side were also mestiso Spanish wherein some siblings looked so European and others like mixed Chinese. My maternal grandpa has the Spanish features while his wife looks very Chinese.
My generation, siblings and cousins came out differently. A considerable lot still have that string Spanish genes, others look like Mexicans while the rest chinitos.
We lost contact with many Hispanic families starting from the Middle fifties but looking back at old pictures of the circle of friends and relative that my grandparents had, I’d say that many looked like pure blooded Europeans and mestizos.
La pregunta dell millón. Hablan español?
We
Why the comment section so racist
Most of them are known figure
Nope. Most Filipinos don't know who most of these people are. And most of them aren't famous. I didn't include a lot of celebs
Interesting. My paternal grandmother is part spanish.

Take a dna test and post your results. Otherwise cool story we heard over and over again lol 😂

Does those Spanish-descent filipinos stil speak Spanish at home?
They speak English, Taglish, or Visayan-English at home. Only the older generation speaks Spanish fluently
@@marilyngalvan4338 Spanish mestizos don't speak Chavacano. If you go to Zamboanga, you won't see any mestizos.
My best friend and his wife are fluent Spanish speakers. They are hacienderos (sugar barons) in the island of Negros Oriental in the Philippines.
Some of them are Americans.
I can speak for the ones in Cebu. I know some, but usually not anymore, they speak mostly English but could understand Spanish. Parents let them take Spanish lessons at Instituto Cervantes when it was still around in Cebu. After that Casino Espanol always had Spanish lessons, but it's not like they speak it everyday at home.
Enhorabuena.
MINORITY
yaa only 3% of population has spanish acenstry but outside of philippines has mestizo most live in spain mexico usa canada also has filipino mestizo lived in
In the Philippines it is small but in other conquered countries mainly in the Americas it is much
duh

Are you sure those pics were not taken for an elite magazine in Colombia or Mexico? Because none of those people look Filipino at all. It is extremely hard to believe they are Filipino citizens.
They’re Filipino. If you have a specific person you want to know about, just message me. The women in the thumbnail are Maricris Cardenas Zobel and daughters. A lot of the other people are just non-famous upper-class families
The whitest guy in the video is Carlos Aboitiz. Look him up. He’s a 5th generation Filipino. Both his parents are Filipino
Do they need to mention they are from ph in order for you to believe them? I know it's hard to believe but we shouldnt discriminate them like most of filipinos do Cristina is this video is a grand daughter the ayala family she look white but she's filipina mestiza her family is one of the riches filipinos in ph
th-cam.com/video/gAk2ta-xD1o/w-d-xo.html
If they are Filipinos, they are alive and living in the Philippines!!!!
I was thinking just that. My family are European ancestried Mexicans 3 generations with me included and my family, my parents and myself are blonde haired and blue to green eyes mind you we are from Guadalajara Jalisco Mexico which is predominantly European ancestried Mexicans like myself.
Spanish is such an overused word for Filipinos, lol. I'm glad I'm part French instead. I enjoyed my stay in Spain though.
