Those three that i've mentioned are the types of Filipino women in the Philippines; and though each of them have different features, my main concern is their skin colors. Are there anymore categories than "mestizo", "morena", and "chinita"? What about those with much darker complexion like Wilma Doesnt's and Bubble Gang's Myka? They don't seem to fall under the morena type. To which category do they belong?

kayumanggi (brown), kastanyo(also morena), maitim(dark), maputi (fair)

This is a very interesting question. What I can tell you is that research indicates that of all the ethnic groups, people of African decent have the largest amount of varients in skin color (this also applies to those of mixed origin). There are approximately 38 skin tones in this range. For Asians, science has found there to be approximately 18 skin tones. However, because in today's society, so many more people are of a mixed background, the permutations have increased and presented more undertones as well which have an effect on skin color cosmetic choices.
If you are looking for brands which address the "mid range/darker tones" of asians some great ones to try are Global Goddess, Real Cosmetics, Prescriptives, and Iman Cosmetics.

Hmmm... I wonder where my last answer to this question go... I hope someone didn't delete it! I really thought of that answer pretty well. yes i stand corrected, chinita is not a skin color but what do you call the filipino-chinese skin color?

correction... "chinita" is not a skin color... it concerns with the shape of the eyes (chinese-like)...
