I’m from Acapulco (mexico). A lot of people there have Filipino blood without realizing it due to the Acapulco Manila Galleon trade. One of the things my family practiced ,especially my mom and aunts, was ‘Mano po’ which is a way of greeting elders. This came from the Philippines.
😳 Dang! Learned something new today. I guess "mano po" was happily adopted by the generations that followed because I do see that utmost respect and caring for elders between our cultures.👍👍
Except the part where he claims filipinos are mixed with Spanish. That is a myth. If you google or read a book about filipino genetics it states only 5% of the philipino population have any Spanish blood and are 95% straight up South East Asian.

@@michaelcastro9238 Those Spanish Authorities in Mexico who manage during that time are the once also managing the Philippines I would not agree they brought us a slave in short its so happen because mostly early Filipinos are uneducated.

As a half-filipino half white (with mexican blood) who is heavily connected to and celebrates Filipino culture, I am proud/amazed at how much we have in common with Mexican culture. Much love to my Mexican brothers/sisters. In my eyes, you're family, and the Philippines welcomes/will defend you all. Mahal Kita~
@Liz Muschinski most Mexicans are mix race Europeans and natives. From different European countries and hundreds of different tribes. The biggest being Spain and mexica (Aztec)

@@user-bx4ti6ig3iNo he doesn’t. He has a spanish last name because the government made his ancestors adopt spanish last names after converting to catholicism or it could’ve also been because it was easier to track each family in government records if they had a more recognizable last name under the Spanish rule.
@@rexmon2592 He/She likely does. Let's do a lil' math. 350 years of spanish presence/colonization is roughly 17 generations. 2 (two) to the power of 17 equals 131,072. Going back just 17 generations puts the genes of 131,072 persons in him/her. In other words, we're only looking at from when the Spanish showed up. There is a good chance that at least one of his/her 131,072 ancestors over 350 years either was Spanish, or had Spanish "blood". Hence, ... a good chance he/she has some Spanish in him/her. Hopefully with this lil' demo, only going back 17 generations, y'all realise that we're all mutts. No one can swear that they're "pure" this or that. Period. If my mixed grandson has a kid with a Caucasian woman, you will hardly be able to guess that the kid's great-granfather (me) was Black. Yet ...
Actually during Spaniard time in the Philippines Spaniards born in the Philippines are called filipinos while the locals are called Indios. So technically you’re Spaniard coz you got the look or description of a spaniard
Had this happen to me as a mixed Filipino when I was living in San Diego. Stopped at the local taco shop and the little old lady at the counter just rattles off in Spanish and I just give her the "Que?" Look because my Sesame Street/Middle School Spanish isn't going to work here lol. "Wait you're not Latino?" "No, sorry." "What are you?" "Filipino and White." "Oh that explains it, still guapo." Bless your heart to this very day little old lady at Juanbertos.
True true. I, myself, get mistaken for a Mexican specially when I go to supermarkets like Food 4 Less or Vallarta. But if you actually research about it, when the Philippines was a Spanish colony, a lot of the friars, government officials and soldiers who were stationed in the Philippine islands were actually from Mexico. Yes, Mexico was also colonized by the Spaniards around the same time as the Philippines. So Jokoy is right that the culture of the Philippines is more like Mexico's rather than Spain's.
The Philippines is the sadness of asia. Philippines is a nation that Know one acknowledge. Philippines is just simply a nation impaled to The sadness of the world. How Indestructible, Sadness is The Philippines. What should be it? A dream No. Philippines is just a Broken... broken Nation.
@@kokomartin8211 great job misspelling the word "no". And before you go disparaging your own country, go back to school and learn when to capitalize words.
@Yitz Hauser Wrong, Filipinos are mixed with the Spaniards, Not with the mexicans, Mexico itself was govern by Spain, It was spain who settled there and then move to the philippines, It was SPAIN that colonized the philippines, New Spain is not mexico, Mexico that time wasn't even present, New Spain is Still Spain, It was spain who settled to the philippines and mixed with the natives, And for the Native americans you are saying, The native americans did settled in the philippines, But only few of them mix with the locals, the Aztecs were send to fight the Bruneian Empire along with Native filipinos and spaniards, they were send to fight not to intebreed with the natives in the philippines, so conclusion Philippines was COLONIZED BY SPAIN, NEW SPAIN IS STILL SPAIN, It was Spain who settled to the philippines, and White Spaniards are the one's who mix with the native of the philippines, And Mexico and The other south americans became independent too early, While the philippines was still govern by spain that time, so All the white spaniards were send directly from spain, since mexico and The whole south americas were already independent from spain.
Well philippines is like a little brother of mexico, our catholic is both the same, we also have the mama mary guadalupe, We have that champorado as a meal not drink.

He’s spot on about the Filipino uncle. I’m a car salesman and it took me 10 hrs to sell a older Filipino man. They describe everything and it takes forever. Lol

I'm Filipino and I get mistaken alot for a Mexican. Majority of my friends I grew up with for more than 30 years are Mexican. Their more than friends, more like my Mexican family.
You look nothing like a Filipino! Filipinos look like Malaysians and Indonesians with heavy East Asian features. Are Filipinos the ones asking you if you are Filipino? They like to fool themselves into thinking they look like Latinos!!😂
As a Filipino with Japanese and Chinese ancestry, I can't relate on being mistaken a Mexican or Latino, but the amount of times I've mistaken Latinos, in particular Mexicans, as Filipinos, is too much lol I'm glad Mexicans don't take it as an offense, cause I always feel awkward when they say they're not Filipinos 😅
Well, there’s no reason to get offended. Sometimes, Latinos get mistaken for other races besides Filipino. My cousin gets asked if he’s Armenian all the time. He never gets mad. I got asked if I was from morocco one time. I didn’t get mad. People get mad too easy for too many little things. That’s bad for your stomach. Ulcers, you know.
@@Hun_Uinaq I believe it all stems to *intentions*. If people are just unsure and mistake people's ethnicity due to uncertainty with no malice, there shouldn't be a reason to be mad about it. But there are situations where some people just don't care, remain ignorant, and are unwilling to learn, and intentionally assume someone's ethnicity as mockery and to intend to insult others(aka racists), then that's a reason for people to be upset. Like in high school, there were students who'd just call me Chinese or Jackie Chan, or assume I speak Japanese and continually doing so, even if I've told them I'm Filipino and I don't know Chinese or Japanese. They purposely do so to mock and insult, and those are the situations I got upset and I call them out, because they're basically racists(on top of being called gook and chink but that's another story). Then there are people who'd come up and ask if I were [insert Asian ethnicity here] out of curiosity. I don't get upset on that and I just politely correct them. And these can be good conversation topics and icebreakers and people learn something new. But I agree, I feel like there are people out there who are too sensitive and easily get upset on the most minor things lol
I've been mistaken for every kind of brown person under the sun, but I kind of love it lol. The only time it makes me angry if it's someone who theoretically should know me (coworker, regular customer, client, classmate, teacher, etc) and who was told about me plenty of times before, but still mistakes for anything and everything else but white, Mexican, or American. That's when I get mad. :)
I used to work in a cruiseship and had a port stop at Cozumel,Mexico such as beautiful place. Great food,amazing people and vastly gorgeous culture. Btw i'm Filipino and not one moment i get humilated in that place. Viva Mexico!❤️🇵🇭🇲🇽

We moved into a different town. Our next door neighbors are originally from Mexico. I was in our backyard one time, they were outside too. I could have thought they were conversing in my own dialect, of course I know they weren’t. But the intonation and the phrasing sounds similar and familiar. My husband & I were in the garage when we just moved in and we were talking about something that needed to be fixed in the house. They came up to us and asked what language we were using in conversation. Cause they thought we were speaking Spanish but very weirdly. I speak Cebuano.
@@xenoxn1975 I'm not sure with the Japanese and Chinese one maybe there is in Kapampangan but there is a Spanish creole language in Zamboanga called Chavacano
@@thereseclaire9806 Cebuano is a language of the Bisaya people who live in Cebu to Davao but we consider it as Bisaya as a language. Filipino language is Tagalog plus Spanish words and our Philippine's national language, Tagalog language has no spanish words like they counted isa dalawa tatlo while us Bisaya we counted as uno dos tres. Bisaya has lots of Spanish words and Chavacano from Zamboanga city in mindanao is pure spanish.
@@thereseclaire9806 , I think there are around 3000 Spanish words being adapted by Cebuano speakers. Of course, Chavacano speakers have more Spanish phrases & syntax used.

No offense taken! I'm only half Filipino but after learning the history, when it comes to the Spanish influence inthe Philippines, I feel the most similarity with Mexican people. Filipinos are like Mexican peoples reaaaaaly far away cousins, who only speak a little bit of spanish(unless your from Zamboanga) but it was because the Filipinos got most of their Spanish because of dealing with Mexicans.
Not really. Most Filipinos score almost 99%-100% Asian on ancestry DNA test- not uncommon to see .5%-1% Iberian but it is small. Not the same for Mexicans; they range from 35-60% European; 30- 60% Native American; 2-6% SSA

All these hundreds of Mexicans and other Latinos on here vouching for our strong common bond is a pretty strong indicator.
There's a province in the Philippines called Zamboanga,most of them really look like Mexican and their dialect is almost Spanish..some of our local dialect as well derive from Spanish language.
My grandma spoke chabacano and she conversed really well with the Mexicans here in the states. From my understanding, it's basically Spanish with a lot of slang.
Yes! My maternal grandma's side are all Chavacanos. What's interesting is the variety of Spanish that Chavacano is based on is actually Mexican Spanish, because a lot of soldiers employed by the Spaniards that were stationed in Zamboanga were from Mexico. The Spanish of Chavacano in Manila like Ermiteño, Cavite, etc., were based on Castillian Spanish, because of the Spaniards in Intramuros who spoke Castillian dialect.

There's a lot of things relatable with Filipino and Mexican culture. Some of my best friends are Filipino, we really have a lot of things in common. Since the Manila galleon and the tlaxtaltecas and Spanish battle with Korean and Japanese pirates (with seems like a bad ass anime cross over), we share a history, a bond. I have an uncle who is Filipino. I love him a lot and I can say that we Mexicans are also the Filipino Latin Americans.
I’m Filipino, and while I never get mistaken for Mexican (I look too Asian for that lol), there are a lot of Filipinos that could definitely be mistaken for Mexicans (and vice versa).
@AutistAslan Hello there. Most of us Filipinos don’t actually have Spanish DNA. Try watching walking tour in our country, most of us don’t look like Mexican. There are many videos of Filipinos who take DNA ancestry test here in TH-cam, they look disappointed when they found out they don’t have Spanish DNA. It’s only in the colonial mentality of Filipinos especially the older generation that having more “Western Genes” will make you superior. Colonial mentality is also the reason why they keep on telling that we look Mexican even though we look very different from you guys.

Some historical facts for those that have never been taught this in school. In World War II Mexico had a military squadron known as the Aztec eagles that helped Philippines be liberated from the Japanese. So consider this for your knowledge.
I'm only a quarter filipino but I always hated that my family barely ever talked about it. Most of my family on my dad side is black/filipino. Once I discovered how good the food is I was pissed my family barely acknowledges that side
I'm half filipino half black. My son's dad is white, so our son is a quarter filipino, quarter black n half white. If u look at him, he looks Mexican. I try my best to teach my son about filipino culture bc I grew up w a lot of it. For his first communion, my mom even insisted he wear a Barong Tagalog. He looked so cute n handsome:)
Must be coz Filipinos that migrated to the West (as compared to those simply going abroad to work like in the Middle East) tend to be escaping from this shithole so I'm not surprised some of them would rather forget about it.
My bf is Mexican and when I met his family in Mexico I was so confused the women were tan beautiful Asian looking and same for some of the guys Asian looking then I found out they were mixed with Philippines too ...very nice and kind people they were miss them so much
¡Ay Dios! I do have an uncle like that! He’s very religious. He’s not loud though. He loves the sound of his own voice and he will totally come up to you and start talking and talking and talking forever and ever and ever and will never shut up until my aunt comes and gives him something to eat. I LOVE my tía, man! Rescues me every time.
I'm Latin and I sometimes confuse Filipinos as one of us and I start babbling to them in Spanish and they tell me "Sorry me no speak Spanish". Filipinos have more round eyes than other Asians, and they behave like latinos not like Asians so it's even more confusing.
The reason for Filipinos acting like Latinx people is because their culture was heavily influenced by Spain, also Malays/Filipinos/Indonesians tend to have rounder eyes for whatever reason.

As a Filipino who grew up in the US because my dad served in the US Navy (God rest his soul), I would just like to add one other culture to this mix: Arabic. I did a DNA test on myself and found out that I am at least 1/3 Arabic, which totally shocked me. It didn't make sense at the time until I remembered that Arab traders had traveled to SE Asia, bringing Islam to Malaysia and Indonesia and eventually to the southern Philippine Islands. Though my family is from Central and Northern Luzon in the northern part of the country and predominantly Catholic, somehow a distant Arabic relative must have made his or her way through the region. Although my heritage showed no trace of an Arabic surname, it is filled with Spanish ones. The DNA test also showed I am predominantly Chinese and Indo-Chinese but hardly any Filipino/Malay blood. I feel like a mutt, go figure!
Ah finally someone mentioned Malay in the comments. Actually Filipino resemblance Malay way more than Mexican. But Malay don't get much recognition in USA much because our migration rate there is very very low. Since the British was the one colonized us, we tend to migrate to UK more than USA.
Here's the answer of your confustion. The ancestors of the Filipinos and some parts of Southeast Asia were Austronesians, they're from southern China/Taiwan. The Philippines' first religion is Paganism. When the Arab traders went to the Philippines to trade, they somehow converted the Filipinos to Islam, not just the people in the southern part of the country but all over Philippines. Then, the Spaniards discovered and invaded the Philippines. They managed to convert the Muslims of Luzon and Visayas into Christianity. However, the Muslims from Mindanao resisted and fought hard for their religion, the reason why majority of Filipino Muslims are mainly occupying the southern region of Mindanao. The Chinese later arrived in the Philippines to settle and sought refuge because of the ecominic and political crisis in their homeland.

Mexicans are cool. Filipinos are Asians and beta males.
Latinos do not want to be associated with Asian Filipino people
@@michaelcastro9238 Those Spanish Authorities in Mexico who manage during that time are the once also managing the Philippines I would not agree they brought us a slave in short its so happen because mostly early Filipinos are uneducated. We're no Incans or Aztecs but we the Filipinos had similarities of profile and is about almost 90% that's why sometimes Mexicans are mistaken to be Filipinos.
As a half-filipino half white (with mexican blood) who is heavily connected to and celebrates Filipino culture, I am proud/amazed at how much we have in common with Mexican culture. Much love to my Mexican brothers/sisters. In my eyes, you're family, and the Philippines welcomes/will defend you all. Mahal Kita~

@Liz Muschinski most Mexicans are mix race Europeans and natives. From different European countries and hundreds of different tribes. The biggest being Spain and mexica (Aztec)

@@user-bx4ti6ig3iNo he doesn’t. He has a spanish last name because the government made his ancestors adopt spanish last names after converting to catholicism or it could’ve also been because it was easier to track each family in government records if they had a more recognizable last name under the Spanish rule.
@@rexmon2592 He/She likely does. Let's do a lil' math. 350 years of spanish presence/colonization is roughly 17 generations. 2 (two) to the power of 17 equals 131,072. Going back just 17 generations puts the genes of 131,072 persons in him/her. In other words, we're only looking at from when the Spanish showed up. There is a good chance that at least one of his/her 131,072 ancestors over 350 years either was Spanish, or had Spanish "blood". Hence, ... a good chance he/she has some Spanish in him/her.
Hopefully with this lil' demo, only going back 17 generations, y'all realise that we're all mutts. No one can swear that they're "pure" this or that. Period.
If my mixed grandson has a kid with a Caucasian woman, you will hardly be able to guess that the kid's great-granfather (me) was Black. Yet ...
Actually during Spaniard time in the Philippines Spaniards born in the Philippines are called filipinos while the locals are called Indios. So technically you’re Spaniard coz you got the look or description of a spaniard
Technically, the Philippines was considered a part of Viceroyalty of Mexico, under Spain. So we were quite literally Mexicans.

True true. I, myself, get mistaken for a Mexican specially when I go to supermarkets like Food 4 Less or Vallarta. But if you actually research about it, when the Philippines was a Spanish colony, a lot of the friars, government officials and soldiers who were stationed in the Philippine islands were actually from Mexico. Yes, Mexico was also colonized by the Spaniards around the same time as the Philippines. So Jokoy is right that the culture of the Philippines is more like Mexico's rather than Spain's.

@Yitz Hauser Wrong, Filipinos are mixed with the Spaniards, Not with the mexicans, Mexico itself was govern by Spain, It was spain who settled there and then move to the philippines, It was SPAIN that colonized the philippines, New Spain is not mexico, Mexico that time wasn't even present, New Spain is Still Spain, It was spain who settled to the philippines and mixed with the natives, And for the Native americans you are saying, The native americans did settled in the philippines, But only few of them mix with the locals, the Aztecs were send to fight the Bruneian Empire along with Native filipinos and spaniards, they were send to fight not to intebreed with the natives in the philippines, so conclusion Philippines was COLONIZED BY SPAIN, NEW SPAIN IS STILL SPAIN, It was Spain who settled to the philippines, and White Spaniards are the one's who mix with the native of the philippines, And Mexico and The other south americans became independent too early, While the philippines was still govern by spain that time, so All the white spaniards were send directly from spain, since mexico and The whole south americas were already independent from spain.
We have a long amazing history of brotherhood together. México loves Philippines.
Mabuhy Philippines ✊

Maybe because PC is not a thing among us Filipinos. We joke about everything, anything and anyone even ourselves and not take them as offense or insults. It's just normal among us. Being onion skinned matter of fact is another thing to joke about. 😆😁

Que tengas un buen dia haha
Right back at ya! I’m half filipina and get mistaken for Mexican a lot 😅
much from love the Philippines....
You look nothing like a Filipino! Filipinos look like Malaysians and Indonesians with heavy East Asian features. Are Filipinos the ones asking you if you are Filipino? They like to fool themselves into thinking they look like Latinos!!😂
As a Filipino with Japanese and Chinese ancestry, I can't relate on being mistaken a Mexican or Latino, but the amount of times I've mistaken Latinos, in particular Mexicans, as Filipinos, is too much lol
I'm glad Mexicans don't take it as an offense, cause I always feel awkward when they say they're not Filipinos 😅
Well, there’s no reason to get offended. Sometimes, Latinos get mistaken for other races besides Filipino. My cousin gets asked if he’s Armenian all the time. He never gets mad. I got asked if I was from morocco one time. I didn’t get mad. People get mad too easy for too many little things. That’s bad for your stomach. Ulcers, you know.
@@Hun_Uinaq I believe it all stems to *intentions*. If people are just unsure and mistake people's ethnicity due to uncertainty with no malice, there shouldn't be a reason to be mad about it. But there are situations where some people just don't care, remain ignorant, and are unwilling to learn, and intentionally assume someone's ethnicity as mockery and to intend to insult others(aka racists), then that's a reason for people to be upset.
Like in high school, there were students who'd just call me Chinese or Jackie Chan, or assume I speak Japanese and continually doing so, even if I've told them I'm Filipino and I don't know Chinese or Japanese. They purposely do so to mock and insult, and those are the situations I got upset and I call them out, because they're basically racists(on top of being called gook and chink but that's another story).
Then there are people who'd come up and ask if I were [insert Asian ethnicity here] out of curiosity. I don't get upset on that and I just politely correct them. And these can be good conversation topics and icebreakers and people learn something new.
But I agree, I feel like there are people out there who are too sensitive and easily get upset on the most minor things lol
I've been mistaken for every kind of brown person under the sun, but I kind of love it lol. The only time it makes me angry if it's someone who theoretically should know me (coworker, regular customer, client, classmate, teacher, etc) and who was told about me plenty of times before, but still mistakes for anything and everything else but white, Mexican, or American. That's when I get mad. :)

Two things also shared by Mexicans and Filipinos, Tuba (coconut liquor).. and BOXING
True, Filipinos introduced tuba to mexicans during the Manila-Acapulco Galleon Trade that lasted for 250 years...

You can add being dominated by White European Spanards.
Random fun fact: Philipino and Mexican TV,News and Film usually cast Half White or very light skin people and pretends the majority of tan and dark skin people dont exist. lol
@@michaelcastro9238 white just doesnt goes for europe; chinese and mainland japanese are white af; most filipino richest families, actors/actresses are filipino-chinese/ relatives of the Spanish white guards in the Philippines. I'm dark af, my husband is irish, our kids are white. I found out recently that alot of my DNA and lineage are straight from spain/chinese rich merchants who fled to the philippines from the cultural revolution; I even found our family Crest online that's tattooed on my *american navy grandpa's arm. that doesnt mean it's a happy union, it could be thru rape or as a "dowry"; in a weird colonial term.

We moved into a different town. Our next door neighbors are originally from Mexico. I was in our backyard one time, they were outside too. I could have thought they were conversing in my own dialect, of course I know they weren’t. But the intonation and the phrasing sounds similar and familiar. My husband & I were in the garage when we just moved in and we were talking about something that needed to be fixed in the house. They came up to us and asked what language we were using in conversation. Cause they thought we were speaking Spanish but very weirdly. I speak Cebuano.

Bisaya has lots of Spanish words and Chavacano from Zamboanga city in mindanao is pure spanish.

@@zaqareemalcolm Spanish cultural influence not that much? Are you kidding me?!! Maybe nots so much the blood buts unmistakably It’s in the foods, the last names, the religion, names of cities and towns, Spanish words in the language, holiday celebrations, traditions, attitudes and mindsets. All these hundreds of Mexicans and other Latinos on here vouching for our strong common bond is a pretty strong indicator.
There's a province in the Philippines called Zamboanga,most of them really look like Mexican and their dialect is almost Spanish..some of our local dialect as well derive from Spanish language.
My grandma spoke chabacano and she conversed really well with the Mexicans here in the states. From my understanding, it's basically Spanish with a lot of slang.
Yes! My maternal grandma's side are all Chavacanos. What's interesting is the variety of Spanish that Chavacano is based on is actually Mexican Spanish, because a lot of soldiers employed by the Spaniards that were stationed in Zamboanga were from Mexico. The Spanish of Chavacano in Manila like Ermiteño, Cavite, etc., were based on Castillian Spanish, because of the Spaniards in Intramuros who spoke Castillian dialect.
Correct. I am from Zamboanga and we still spoke Chavacano even up to this day. The Spanish slang is still very healthy.
It's their language, not dialect. Chavacano is a creole language.
Watch Drew Binsky’s vlog about Chavacano, look at the people and try to tell me again that “most” of them look Latino.

There are many videos of Filipinos who take DNA ancestry test here in TH-cam, they look disappointed when they found out they don’t have Spanish DNA.

I'm Latin and I sometimes confuse Filipinos as one of us and I start babbling to them in Spanish and they tell me "Sorry me no speak Spanish". Filipinos have more round eyes than other Asians, and they behave like latinos not like Asians so it's even more confusing.
The reason for Filipinos acting like Latinx people is because their culture was heavily influenced by Spain, also Malays/Filipinos/Indonesians tend to have rounder eyes for whatever reason.

@@sophiearquilos236 yessir
Vicksburg sbeenaround for as long as I can remember.jmy mom would rub it on my chest when I wa young if ever I have fever or flu or runny nose cough rubs it on my stomach if I have diardiarrhea
That Filipino uncle segment was painfully funny. And true. I can name like three of my titos who do the same.
As a filipino I agree to the guy (I don't know his name) thanks for him.
Thanks to all Mexicans! Love from Philippines!
It’s true 90% in the classroom has mexican/spanish last names 😆
Garcia, Fernandez, Salvador, De Leon, Fuentes, Rivera, Martinez, Alvarez, Gutierrez and so on !!!!
But we are Asian. 🙄
@윤지혜 nope not like spanish last name also the same culture too and language also faces and nose
@윤지혜 60% speak spanish in 1898, first Philippine constitution written in Spanish along with the first revolutionary pamphlets, etc. The history of the Philippines is also written in Spanish, it is a language that belongs to you, it should not be considered a foreign language.
Yeah, it was true. My last name was Rodriguez and I don't even have a single drop of Spanish blood in me.
Really? Do you know your ancestral family tree? Cause you just might if you don't know about your ancestors!
@@UnchainedMelodie92 Yeah, my grand father said that my ancestors was originaly from China who moved to the Philippines, and they were forced to take a Spanish surname due to the order of the Spanish Governor-General at that time.
@@eyesinthedark4713 waa, thats crazy but also kind of neat
@@ricardocaiano1228 yeah .. the book where the surnames are taken from was the Catálogo alfabético de apellidos .. you can see the list of surnames there, though the book was in spanish, so i really dont undertand the first part of the book
Yup, not everyone has Spanish ancestry. That's a common misconception 😂
I was mistaken for being Mexican once in awhile I'm Filipina mestiza. My friends and neighbors are Mexican!😘
shits so relatable I’m the best of both worlds hells yeah 🇲🇽+🇵🇭
Explains why Mexican men are attracted to Filipino women and why Filipino men are so attracted to Mexican women. 💯
That's is true. My son is Mexican American and he loves Filipino women.
Very true! I'm Filipino born and raised in LA, these Mexican women here are fine ass fuck. I ended up marrying one and now we have 4 beautiful half Filipino half Mexican kids.
@@bossman-vj3dz Your kids must be gorgeous.
@@edithdlp8045 yes they are. Thankyou!
@@bossman-vj3dz omg when filipino mixed with other races the outcome would be Miss Universe. I mean gorgeouses🔥
That laugh he held before that dark joke. You know something crazy is about to be said 🤣
No cap😀😃
As a Filipino who grew up in the US because my dad served in the US Navy (God rest his soul), I would just like to add one other culture to this mix: Arabic. I did a DNA test on myself and found out that I am at least 1/3 Arabic, which totally shocked me. It didn't make sense at the time until I remembered that Arab traders had traveled to SE Asia, bringing Islam to Malaysia and
Indonesia and eventually to the southern Philippine Islands. Though my family is from Central and Northern Luzon in the northern part of the country and predominantly Catholic, somehow a distant Arabic relative must have made his or her way through the region. Although my heritage showed no trace of an Arabic surname, it is filled with Spanish ones. The DNA test also showed I am predominantly Chinese and Indo-Chinese but hardly any Filipino/Malay blood. I feel like a mutt, go figure!
Ah finally someone mentioned Malay in the comments. Actually Filipino resemblance Malay way more than Mexican. But Malay don't get much recognition in USA much because our migration rate there is very very low. Since the British was the one colonized us, we tend to migrate to UK more than USA.
Here's the answer of your confustion. The ancestors of the Filipinos and some parts of Southeast Asia were Austronesians, they're from southern China/Taiwan. The Philippines' first religion is Paganism. When the Arab traders went to the Philippines to trade, they somehow converted the Filipinos to Islam, not just the people in the southern part of the country but all over Philippines. Then, the Spaniards discovered and invaded the Philippines. They managed to convert the Muslims of Luzon and Visayas into Christianity. However, the Muslims from Mindanao resisted and fought hard for their religion, the reason why majority of Filipino Muslims are mainly occupying the southern region of Mindanao. The Chinese later arrived in the Philippines to settle and sought refuge because of the ecominic and political crisis in their homeland.
@@micronano8345 Actually Hinduism and Buddhism was present in the Philippines before Islam. We have a lot of hindu and buddhist artifacts from the Philippines demonstrating that fact. Also research Laguna Copperplate Inscription and Baybayin. Philippine native scripts that came from Southern India.
@@gregorypetty6887 Then, ok. Nobody's arguing with you. Lol. There's no need to enlighen me, I heard and learnt about that. That was only a minority, didn't spread that much in the entire country. We're talking about the dominant religions here according to the country's history. So, no need to take that into account.
When a guy dms me, he'd usually starts flirting in Spanish thinking I'm Latina lmao I'm straight up Filipino.
you look really asian, you look nothing like a latina
Yesss during the early period of Spanish colonization in the Philippines, Spain governed the Philippines via Mexico...
I'm Mexican, born and race, and for what I know from my family history and the history of my state (a port that has a lot of commerce with Asian countries), I actually could have Filipino ancestors.
There is a region in Mexico that can trace a lot of its descendants from Filipinos during the galleon trade.
@@rumblefish9 That's true, I actually live in that region
@@Mel-ky9zs Colima, México. It's in the Pacific Cost.
@@Mel-ky9zs Colima has a lot of Philippines influence, even with one of the traditional beverages of Colima (Tuba). In the History Museum of Colima there's an exposition that explains the Philippines influence in the region.
@@Mel-ky9zs Hope you can come and visit here one day. As for safety reason I recommend you to come when the security situation gets better. (They are not going for the average population, just for the ones who are on the cartels)
Absolutely we need more laughs poking fun at each other’s things and know it’s all good fun. Laugh Out Loud Live Out Loud Be Honest Be True Be Your Best Self
Was seeing this beautiful woman in the Bronx NY. We were sitting and talking, and my eyes were dancing around the room to check out who she was by how she configured her personal space, when she made a sentence with the phrase “my granddaughter” in it.
Involuntarily, my neck snapped back to look at her so fast I practically gave myself whiplash. When I asked her age it was ok. She was 32. Two year old granddaughter.
So this guy is speaking truth.
"Oh yeh boba, I ate that chet" 🤣🤣
You are right on bro I am Mexican and we have many Philippino relatives and I had many uncle's just like you said awwww
Yeah Filipino are the Mexicans of Asia, they’re energetic, humble, hard working and always so loving to everyone around them.
We Mexicans love you too ❤️
Am proud of you Homie🇵🇭
“Your mom is 30…” well, it’s kinda true in the latino community, many of us start early… and many of us still has a bisabuela 😬
The fact that he laughs at his jokes makes it more funnier
I always tell my friends if they want to learn or practice their Spanish skill, just converse with the people of the Philippines. They are half Espanol
