What different races make up the Filipino race?

Answer 1

With all due respect to Yogibear, who has probably been successfully brainwashed by the elitists in the Philippines, the country presently is no more than 5% part or full Spanish/European blood, less than 1% part or full American blood. Those of direct Chinese ancestry make up roughly 15-20% of the population. The vast majority of Filipinos today are of Malay/Indo/aboriginal stock. Mostly brown-skinned, shorter people with wide noses. I hope my last comment did not offend you Yogibear--because it SHOULDN'T! There is no shame in being short, flat-nosed and dark-skinned. Dump your colonial mentality and progress forward for your sake.

Filipino Race

In actuality it is not the majority of the Filipino race that are mixed with Hispanic genes. If you've met a lot of Filipinos you can find out if they're mixed just by their facial features. Also the blood mix thins out while the bloodlines are watered down. But according to history books originally we have Malay, Indonese, Chinese, Arab due to bartering. A sprinkle of Spanish, American and Japanese during the colonization and then the two WW. If you would compare Filipinos to other South East Asians you'll find similarities in some facial features and those that do not look like other SE Asians means that there is a possibility that they have a mix of either Spanish, American or other Western blood somewhere in their family tree.

For example, I am a Filipina. Somewhere in my family tree, there's a mix of Japanese on my mother's side of the family and Spanish on my father's side of the family. I look Japanese, honestly. I have the small shaped eyes, rounder than those of Koreans and Chinese, not that slanted as the latter. Fine and very fair skin, small face, long neck and petit body structure. Except for the shape of my nose that I got from my father's side of the family, which is a bit small and hawkish, I look either Japanese or Korean (those that got the plastic surgery). My sister on the other hand has larger eyes, higher cheekbones, squared jawline, straight small nose, thin lips and fair skin with pinkish undertones (an no, my mom did not cheat on my father, we had it tested). We look different even though we're sisters.

Every country in the world has mixed bloodlines and we really wouldn't know what race Filipinos belong to. We just need to be content that we are who we are because of our ancestors no matter what race they belong to. Well, except if there is a possibility that they have passed a genetic illness, then we better learn exactly who is in our family trees.

Well, it is not that thoroughly explained but I hope it's helpful.

Filipinos are originally from the Malayan gene pool... with the first settlers being the Negritos (not a politically incorrect term; they're the modern-day Aetas in the northern provinces), the Indones, and the Malays... in that chronological order... that is until the 1600's when Spain "discovered" the Philippines and occupied it for the next 330 years, during which they raped/intermarried with the original Filipino women. Of note, during that time (and possibly even before that), Chinese merchants came over, some of them settled there. When the Americans kicked the Spaniards out in the early 1900's, it was basically their turn to rape/intermarry with the then original Filipino or Spaniard-Filipino or Chinese-Filipino or Spaniard-Filipino-Chinese women who then gave birth to a whole new hybrid of bastard children (pretty much the same way the GI's have been spreading their infernal seed all throughout Asia like f u cking animals circa WWII). Of course, with the turn of modernization (as well as with the present-day Filipinos wanting to be married to foreign nationals [as well as trying to look like them with the use of astringents, skin-whitening lotions, hair dye, and colored contact lenses... all in a Michael-Jackson-y sort of way]... namely Europeans, Indians, etc), we get an end-result of an assortment of races converging in the same spot... making the Philippines as one of the modern-day melting pots in SE Asia. Hopefully that answers your questions somehow.

Answer 6

when you say "race" like the white caucasian race, black afroid, yellow mongoloid and malayoid austronesian. the exact answer will be the malay or malay austronesian base line. the northern part will have mixture of the east asian yellow mongoloid mix down to the middle islands. so in the north luzon you will have 50/50 with eastern asians mongoloid and up to some visayan islands will be 15/85 or 10/90 and when you reach mindanao it will be up to 5% east asian. but if course the islands are predominantly malay. when the spaniards came, the islands were actually administered from mexico. so most of the colonial masters of the natives came from the americas. so some maybe half breed aztecs. there was NO widespread importation of europeans, so basically only spanish empire rejects are sent in the islands to become gods and masters of the natives. european women were also extremely rare, so most of the very miniscule half breeds came from spanish soldiers, administrative workers and priests. most of the spanish caste mingle and exclusively breed amongst themselves. unfortunately the impact of spanish caste system has affected the very fiber of the native psyche which is still felt up to now. you can see with the localized religiosity of the people and the racial fraud committed. it is very common to encounter an orangutang looking filipino claiming they are of spanish decent, even though the only spanish in them are their names. filipinos are just probably just 1 degree racially progressed than their malay and indonesian brethrens. they are still savages. so next time you try to look down on black people and puerto ricans or mexicans, remember you are a half brown guinea ******.

Answer 8

It all depends where you come from in the Philippines.
If you Filipino parent is an Aeta, then you have some stricks of Indonese blood. The Aetas are the first wave of Indonesian immigrants.
If your parent is an Ifugao, then you have a Chinese blood. Chinese farmers-immigrants came through the Hainan province who are rice terraces bulders.
If your parent is short, small nose, then you have a Malay blood.
If your parent is tall, with larger nose, you have a Indonese blood who belong to the second wave of Indonesian immigrants.
But today, you have only Filipino blood when these groups of islands become known as the Philippines.

Answer 9

The Filipino race is slowly but surely becoming a multi-national race. Not just as the original Spanish, Chinese, Malay...but British, German, Korean, American, and so on... As Filipinos travel overseas (or as other races marry into the Filipino race) we'll soon be "a little bit of everything"...

Answer 10

I am Filipino as well and this question triggered my curiousity. Whilst I haven't been able to find any concrete answers to your questions, this page on Wikipedia definitely does start to explore to answer the question.

I can safely say that having traveled to Malaysia and other SE Asian nations, we, the Filipino race do share a great resemblence in facial structure with these neighboring countries. I will also add that we also share a great deal of similar type foods.

Answer 11

Philippine history suggests that the earliest settlers were from Malaysia. Later Indonesians came over and brought the Muslim religion. Of course, the Spanish and the Americans colonized the Philippines and so there are heavy influences (and intermarrying) from these groups as well.
