My opinion about Filipino ethnicity
Filipinos are citizens of Philippines. What is our real ethnicity? Some say we're Asians. Some say Pacific Islanders. Some say of course Asian. I watched a lot of videos regarding this topic. I also read a lot about it. I am just as curious as everybody else. So here's what I gathered. Pacific Islander means people of within the Pacific ocean. Philippines is at the Pacific Ocean. Philippines is actually at the Pacific rings of fire as they say. Filipinos are, of course, Asians because Philippines is in Asia. Hispanics are those that were colonized by Spain or those cultures and languages that are related to Spain. Philippines as we know were once colonized by Spain for a long time and we know that some of our culture and languages are related to Spanish or Spain. The Philippines even got it's name from King Philip of Spain. We were colonized Spain for 333 years. That's why a lot of us have common Spanish last names. So I guess we can consider ourselves as Pacific Islanders, Hispanic and Asians. How cool is that? What do you think about our ethnic? ***Please note that I am not a professional in any sorts about this, so if I made mistakes, I'm more than happy to accept any corrections.

I think we are Asians, Pacific Islanders is just scope of the Philippines but I'm not sure hehe.
We are difinitely Asians. What do you mean by pacific islanders is a scope of the Philippines?
I mean pacific ocean hahaha scope ng philippines hehe or nasa Philippines talaga yon.
We are in located somewhere in Pacific Ocean. Di ako sure if Westerm part. And Pacific Islanders are people that are within Pacific ocean. Kaya saying that Fiipinos are Pacific Islanders can be considered.
Mas considered na pacific islander yung mga tao sa visayas i think or mindanao hehe.
They are still FIlipinos, right? This is not just for those in Luzon but the Filipinos in general. From luzon to Visayas to Mindanao. Even those islands that were used to be part of the Philippines like Palau.
I know they are still Filipinos, hehe for me we are all asians just my thought.
we are both asians, pacific islanders and hispanic. we are all considered in those ethnics.
based on my knowledge sis hehe asians lang pag kaka alam ko. ngayon ko lang nalaman na 3 uri pala
oo sis. Do you know that Mexicans are Hispanic din kasi they are colonozed by Spain for 300 years. Ang Philippines sis 333 years na-colonized ng Spain. We are as Hispanic as Mexicans kung yan ang pagbabasehan. Ang cool dba?
gusto ko na tuloyagbasa ng mga ganyan hahaha dami ko talaga natututunan sayo sis.
Thank you sis. I hope you liked my article. I'll take your comments are compliment :)
welcome sis hehe all your articles are good. keep publishing like those articles.
we are asians kasi we are in asia. we are hispanic kasi ang mga ninuno ninuan natin is colonozed by Spain. even yung Philippines na pangalan ay para i-honor si King Philip II na datng king of Spain. at matatawag din tayong pacific islanders kasi nasa pacific ocean tayo. kaya kapag sinabi nila na hispanic tayo or pacific islander maicoconsider nating tama yun.
mahilig ka po siguro magbasa... hehe lalo na sa history ng philippines.
yes sis. mahilig ako magbasa at manood ng documentaries tungkol sa ibat ibang bagay. and isa ito sa pinagtuunan ko talaga ng pansin.i got curious kasi.
ako kapag documentaries sa mga tv lang. hindi ako mahilig mag basa eh bihira lang
yeah. we have different ethnic groups in our.country. kaya nga minsan may nag-aaway. pero ung iba mabubuti naman sila.
di ko gets yung comment mo. about sa pag aaway away. nag aaway away dahil sa ethnics?
Ayus ang mga ginagawa nyo. Maganda para sa mga bata may matututunan. Ingat kayo lagi sa ganyan ha. Wag nyo papabayaan mga anak nyo. Sila ang tunay na kayamana.
thank you sa pag alala. kayo din ingat kayo lagi. God bless
We are just like our national dessert halu halo because from so much colonization we become mixed with Chinese, Japanese, americans, Africans, spanish. You can check your surname which National is dominant. Because the Native aborigines Are negritos and I admit I don’t look like one.
haha yes we are halu halo already. most of our surnames are really from spanish, chinese and americans. I like what you said about that halu halo haha
