It constructive is finished of blended each and every thing. Filipino isn't a race, no way of existence or ethnic team is a race. And even as it comes all the way down to it, there is no genetic marker for race. i'm Filipino, yet evaluate myself a Pacific Islander whenever you want to fill out the nationality portion of surveys or something like that.

The languages of the Philippines are part of the Western Malayo-Polynesian subgroup of the large Austronesian language family. This language family has its origins in coastal China about 6000 years ago and spread to Taiwan, the Philippines, Indonesia and from there across the Pacific to Hawaii and Easter Island. One group also spread across the Indian Ocean to Madagascar. It covered more area on the earth's globe than any other language family in pre-colonial times (from Madagascar to Easter Island). There are about 1000 different languages in the Austronesian family.

In my opinion, most would be Indo-Malay in origin.
