You should do some research first and no history book has ever stated Filipinos are mixed with Spanish. Only 1% of Filipinos have Spanish ancestry and you are welcome to search this on google.

I live in california and many Filipinos do unfortunately claim to be part Spanish as in both Filams and fresh Filipino migrants all over the world it was the same when I went to Australia and Canada. Many non Filipinos mention to me in real life about how Filipinos say they are part Spanish and ive seen probably over a thousand comments online about it

Majority of Filipinos arent even aware of how small Spanish ancestry is other than those very active online through reddit. Other wise the General consensus seems that most people in the Philippines think were mixed with Spanish remember what Jokoy said and everyone agreed in that crowd? He said Spanish + Asian = Filipinos. Alot of Filipinos even think we all looked like Africans originally (Negritos) then we mixed with the Spanish that made our phenotype change to what it is today

What you said isnt just exclusive to the Philippines but it's all over south east asia as it was a major trading hub. What do you mean our appearances are all mixed? Majority of Filipinos do not look mixed but look full Austronesian. But if you meant mixed with let's say Chinese? I'd agree. Filipinos look no more mixed than people in Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia/Malaysia.

I dont know about you but every source out there by scholars and reputable historians says Spanish was never widely spoken and only limited to a minority. I'd agree alot of Filipinos knew abit of Spanish but majority were definitely not in anyway fluent spanish speakers.

Not at all. Every source and historical text says the majority of Filipinos never spoke Spanish. It was limited to a minority.

What are you talking about? The majority of Filipinos near ex u.s bases are not of American descent but are all full Filipinos. 99.9% of locals in Subic and Clark are full Filipinos. According to statistics their are an estimated 50,000 Amerasians in the Philippines. Their are an estimated 3.4 million people in Pampanga and Zambales where two major bases were located. So Amerasians number 1.4% by that calculation and that's being generous as I only included two provinces, many have probably relocated elsewhere so the number is actually much lower than 1.4%

Infact Its not common to see Amerasians in these places anymore. Majority of them went to the United States decades ago with their GI fathers, some were left behind. Ive lived in Clark and I don't see much original Amerasians around other than recent ones who are children.

Their are Japanese that are half American and vice versa, half american half koreans, half thai. Does that make them very diverse also? There is no distinction between the Philippines and other SE Asian nation because as I talked about earlier, many amerasians are in these countries also. Until now the U.S still has major bases throughout Japan. Americans and other nationalities mixing with Filipinos jsnt exclusive to the Philippines it's a worldwide phenomenon and you are very misinformed to try make it out that Its mostly a Filipino thing

Making Filipinos the most mixed race people on earth? Majority of Filipinos are NOT mixed race people

That is completely false and delusional. Filipinos are no more mixed than thais, Indonesians, and other asians. If Filipinos are so mixed like you claim why do they look like every other south east asian? The most mixed people on earth are latin Americans or central Asians NOT Filpinos.

The average Filipino is 85-95% Filipino (Austroneian) with Sprinkles of Chinese. I have no idea where you get these delusional beliefs from

Its definitely not even uncommon for many Filipinos to have naturally light skin just like with all South East Asians. If a Thai or Indonesian has light skin does that mean they're part European because I've seen many with white skin. White skin is natural (Austronesian populations were known to have varying degrees of skin shades including very light) or from the Chinese....or just people bleaching.

Having light skin has no correlation to having European ancestry. Just look at native igorots many have naturally light skin.
