Are Filipinos Asian, Hispanic, or Pacific Islander? This CANNOT Be TRUE! (REACTION) 

I'm Filipino and I consider myself as only Asian (with Hispanic influences perhaps) but still, Asian. And, cliché as it may sound, a proud Filipino. :) Take care guys.

Soy filipino en la isla de samar, aunque no hablamos español puro, nuestra cultura y tradición y religión están impresas en nuestra vida diaria, no somos mestizos pero tenemos un corazón español y lo heredamos todo del español

Pinoys are SOUTH EAST ASIAN. Don't let those self hating Filipino's fool you into that we are Hispanic or Spanish. A Hispanic surname does not necessarily mean you have Spanish ancestry, if you are Pinoy. Those surnames were slave names forced onto our people.

I'm a Filipino with Malayan Race , mixed of with Spanish blood & Chinese, but more of Spanish blood. I know a little of Spanish language too. Philippines is a diverse country. I come fr. the visayan region, where there are still spanish speaking people. Thanks

We Filipinos are Asians, whether you guys like it or not. I’m Filipino and I’m proud to be Asian🇵🇭 Where are my Filipinos at? MABUHAY!!❤️

I am Filipino, born and raised. My middle name Guardian (pronounced as Guwardyan) and last name Saenz (pronounced as Signz) is Spanish. Some of my relatives look very mestizo while I look darker. My grandmother who speaks fluent Spanish said I'm darker probably because of a Basque heritage. Didn't matter to me though as I always consider myself an Asian with Hispanic influence. These Pacific Islander thing just came out recently and mostly because of US born Filipinos. Maybe they thought it's more cool or makes it easier to identify their ethnicity. Bottomline, I am Asian and a proud Filipino. Mabuhay!

I’m a Pacific Islander, and please, Filipinos are asian💖 dont get them confused with Pacific Islanders please and thx. When I see a Filipino person, I can tell that they are asian or have asian features.

Dark History- Filipinos are not hispanic if we only talk about genetics. Spaniards (mostly) avoided to have children with filipinos because they believe that they our superior class and even kept their culture and languages away from them out of fear that they will understand them and overthrow them. They even used the detegatory term “Indio” to refer to Filipinos. They mainly got their Spanish names because that’s they were baptized to Christinaty in order to fully convert them and control the country. Since Philippines are so far from Spain, the generals and the friars are the one who ruled the country and done a lot of horrible things without the knowledge of the Spanish crown. Filipinos have suffered alot under their rule and that leads to the revolution in 1896.

"they look Pacific Islander...Hawaiian maybe" The reason why you think that is because when you see Hawaiians, they are likely Filipinos. Real native Hawaiians are diminishing in number. When USA took Hawaii, they brought migrant workers to help replace the population. Filipinos are one of them, they were brought in by USA to harvest sugar cane starting in 1927. The Filipinos were not welcomed at first, like all of the foreigners descending on their island. Where the US used force (like killing thousands and taking their queen) the Filipinos used their smile, and they tried integrating with Hawaiians. But it took decades of convincing them, Hawaiians had disparaging names for Filipinos and white people. Till today they call white people Haole. I don't think they call Filipinos bad names today because Hawaii now is super mixed. In fact, to qualify as Indigenous Hawaiian you only need show 48% Hawaiian DNA, thats how mixed they are, because they know there aren't any full Hawaiians anymore. Most are indeed Filipino mixed with Portuguese (white) and a drop of Hawaiian. And many many are 100% Filipino calling themselves Hawaiian, whether they are born there or not. True fact. So when you picture Hawaiian, you are probably picturing Filipino-American.

The answer is we're A MILLION PERCENT ASIAN. Quite Hispanic. And sorta a Pacific Islander (but not quite because if we are, Japan should be as well). I mean we can cancel "our" Hispanic and Pacific Islander identity but NOT ASIAN. That will ever be constant.

Thanks to this video reaction, i learned much about my race as Filipino. I would say i am mixed because my mom is mestiza spanish, and my grandfather in my father side is mestizo spanish also. Im proud of my roots, my race a Filipino. Mabuhay Filipinas ( Long live Philippines ) !!

I don't really care. Its only an issue when living in the US.

filipinos are originally asians it just got mixed with spanish, chinese, korean etc.

Most Filipinos family name similar to spanish, the spaniard before hardly understand our name n family name, they wanted to change it, so we registered a new name, we choose a name recommended by the spaniard, before the coming of american most filipinos can speak fluent spanish especially in Visayas n Mindanao, even today our counting in Visayas are in spanish, we have spanish subject until 1978. Bisayas language almost similar to spanish. Our grandmother half spanish. Keep on Reaction Matt n Molly.

Mexico never became a province of Spain. Philipines did become an official autonomous province of Spain in 1821 until the US did propagate and funded and backed Tagalog rebels as the rebels thought they could become an ally of the US not until they were backstabbed right after the declaration of Independence.

Philippines is Asian a long time ago they use different hand writing then Spanish because well that was a long time ago but it change so Spanish went to the Philippines and Japanese people went to the Philippines so when Japanese people went to the Philippines Spanish and Japanese flight each other they war then american people went to the Philippines then Japanese and American people fight each other so that is why the Philippines hand writing is Spanish right now but Korean and Chinese visit the Philippines they did not fight each other they just visit the Philippines well I am 8 years old I am learning about Asia and Philippines because I am Filipino but I am born in America. :)

Tagalog is differents in many ways. if they're speaking deep tagalog it has similiraties with Spanish language, we have many languages here in the Philippines I think it is 100+

When the spanish arrived in the Philippines they called the ‘El Pintados’ the painted once because they were covered by tattoos.

Geography Now Philippines. Watch it. You’ll know that Britain colonized the Philippines for a brief period of time.

Im so happy seeing ads on this channel.... not skipping them to support you guys. I'm a fan.. Filipino here in Vietnam

Thanks for experiencing life in my Country Philippines and I Love You guys as well as your vlog in my Country. Stay Safe and Try to visit again after pandemic.

I'm a Filipino, I'm Asian but I identify myself as an attack helicopter.

Filipinos are geographically Asians but culturally Hispanic and genetically hispanic- Asian.

Filipinos prefer themselves called Asians, Filipino-Americans prefer themselves called Pacific Islander. I've lived in the US for over 27 years and most of my friends like to be called Pacific Islanders. We are surrounded by Asian race, therefore we are Asian.

i enjoyed this with you guys!

Hey guys....how are you??😍😍always waitin your new reaction💙specially philippines edition😊loveyahh!! Dabble&Travel💕

Filipinos are Austronesians. They are Malays. Same as Malaysians or Indonesians. They are Asians. Philippines is an ASEAN nation. Pacific islander is Polynesian, and must be an island completely surrounded by pacific ocean. Only eastern side of Philippines faces the ocean. Polynesian languages are another family of languages. Filipino languages are classified as austronesian

Filipinos are asian when you are located in asia you are asian

Filipino is not an ethnicity but a national identity. It's like cooking a bunch of ethnicity/language and producing one final product. We are diverse as our islands are. Viva Las Islas Filipinas.

Some Filipino words borrowed from Hokkien Chinese (Southern Chinese) 1. Gunggong 2. Lawlaw 3. Puthaw 4. Kikiam 5. Sitaw 6. Bataw 7. Siopao 8. Tokwa 9. Tanglaw 10. Tiyak

Im a Pacific islander & in our culture its a sign of respect to take ur shoes off & food is also one thing. We love to feed everyone & anyone lol but our food are a bit different. Btw there is a place in the Philipines that old Spanish is the Creole.

I'm just happy watching you both

always waiting for new reactions.

Filipinos lost thier Identity because of colonizers but they are asians with mixed cultures from Malays, chinese, spanish, americans, and others.

I'm a Filipino but I have a spanish and mexican ancestry in my family. But in majority I call myself asian but I could consider myself somewhat hispanic

Filipinos are Hispanic. Spain displays 22 flags of Hispanic countries including the Philippines in the celebration of Dia de la Hispanidad (Hispanic Day) in Puerta del Sol, Madrid. Philippines is also included in the Ibero-American System and as such qualify for an expedited Spanish Citizenship and access to the benefits of the European Union. "This year Equatorial Guinea and the Philippines are added to the list of Hispanic countries, thus highlighting the global character of the Spanish-speaking community." SOURCE: Comunidad de Madrid

Wow! Nice reaction. Please react more about our country. Thanks you and we really appreciate it. ❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️

Love the reaction.

I am from Davao City, Mindanao, my family name is a typical Hispanic name, though I have chinita eyes (got from a mixed Spanish-Chinese Cantonese of my father side) but with light brown skin. At home, we are bilingual Bisaya,/Tagalog but it gets crazier when we go home to my maternal grandparents as my Grandfather speaks Inlonggo/Spanish & some Nihonggo(Japanese) & my Grandma speaks mainly in a very sweet, soft-sounding Ilonggo dialect and when we go back to the city after a week-long vacation with my paternal grandparents, we converse to them mainly in Bisaya/Tagalog. Crazy right??? But for me personally, though I understand all dialects, I always answer or converse back either in Bisaya or Tagalog & some English 😁

The origin of Tagalog language has more influence from Old Malay, then Spanish. It is not at all originated from Chinese language. Just common sense, listen to Mandarin Chinese...not at all similar to Tagalog! FACT CHECK!

Just Dabbling before happy hour 🍺🍺 I'm 100% Filipino and most of my relatives have Spanish names.

Yeay another one

I'm half ifugao and half ibanag both is a ethnic groups in the Philippines

I see a lot of abused terms on the comment. Filipinos are not Hispanic... Hispanic people are from Hispaniola "La Española" (little Spain). Which country is it today? ABC - aruba, bonaire and the carribean. Dominica and Maybe Haiti. When the spanish crown ceded Hispaniola (1700's), they transferred some of the people to South America. Hence they where called Hispanic (not to be mistaken as latinos of south america).

Only people that are confused with the difference is literally white people.and Hispanic can tell the difference between Filipino and Hispanic/pacific islanders.there literally such a big difference and that charts he showed of the migration is wrong.

Great Reaction 👍

you haven't heared chavacano,they speak 70% spanish they just located down south of the Philippines, hope you'll react on it too

Even Molly can be mistaken as Half Filipina or Mestiza had not for the blonde hair. lol

Filipinos are diverse race in the world and Philippines is a diverse nation.

We, Filipinos, are ASIANS...

It's also believed that the natives in Latin American areas originated from Pacific Islanders. I forgot if it's potato or sweet potato that was not a natural crop in Latin American but is natural in the Pacific Islands. TBH, only Asian-Americans have this dilemna😁

They don't know for sure were polynesians came from there just theorizing cuz our language has a few similar words they don't really understand the polynesian race

YES. I don’t see why this is even a question or issue.

Could you guys vlog about cooking rice Filipino style? You know, measure water level with finger? 😁

I am pilipino. Pure no other blood mix on my blood hahahak But I'm speaks 3 different languages as of now i'm speaking both arabic-english.

mostly filipinos are pre dominantly can speak hispanish when american not interfere in the philippines..so when american came in the philippines they push hard those filipinos to speak english..especially when spain give up to usa after spanish american war in the philippines

Hi! Enjoyed watching your video. As for cooking, you can try to cook "adobong chicken." A very simple yet a very Filipino dish. Also so yummy. There are many variations of this dish so you can check it in google. 🙂

You guys got it entirely wrong. Filipinos have lighter skin not because of intermixing, but because the picture theyve shown, are Aetas, which is the first indigenous people that entered the Philippines which is of negroid race. And the most common race in the Philippines that is like 99% of the country, are austrenesians which is of mongoloid race, and they came from southern china. Even if a filipino have spanish ancestry, most of them only had like 5-1%, thats not enough to alter their genes to be more "pale" Chinese genes are way more prevalent

Very informative dna info I am Filipino myself good to know what I am and who I am where my ansestor came from , tho it’s hard to understand the person who is explaining it when you guys are talking over him but all and all the video is great

Hello I,m Chinese-Filipino, i want to explain! Most of the 110 million people of the Philippines are Austronesians. The most ancient homeland of the 500 million Austronesians worldwide is modern day Taiwan and Jiangsu and Fujian provinces of Southern China. So yes, the Filipinos and other Southeast Asians are indeed South Chinese, just there is a group of South Chinese that dispersed entirely in ancient times (Austronesians and their relatives Tai-Kadai and Austroasiatic) and another that is playing a significant role in the region in modern times (Southern Han Chinese). Yes filipinos are came from China and Taiwan.

Filipinos race is truly unique compared to others countrys.that includes the food,glorious food.

Asian Hispanic from the Pacific.

Jajajaja very proud , but all this bull of being basque, Spanish , proud Asian 🤪

Me llamo mely hernando y mi habla espanol y yo te amo con todo mi corazon

we are the mixture of all of that

Pilipinos are Asian because it is located in asia

We are mixed Spanish/Chinese

Let your friends and fam try filipino liquors!! That would surely rake subs 😁

PLS REACT TO TOP 10 FILIPINO INVENTIONS, LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS REQUEST, THANK YOU.

We are typical southeast asians just like indo, mAlays and thais. The only reason why thais have mOre chinese looking people is they are geographically connected to china which explains migration and intermixing.

I don't even know why being all 3 is such an issue. when they do not have to be mutually exclusive. The Philippines is a multi-cultural, multi-racial southeast asian country in the pacific. I have spanish ancestors (thrice removed) and chinese grandfather on my mom side while my dad was of full malay stock.

SPANISH. 😃😃💝👌

Please peact on ms dhoni's insane wicket keeping skills,i think you will amazed after wathing his speed

the group of Pacific Islander Nation does not include the Philippines and the FILIPINOS in particular!!What country is Pacific Islander?Pacific Islanders refer to those whose origins are the original peoples of Polynesia, Micronesia, and Melanesia. Polynesia includes Hawaii (Native Hawaiian), Samoa (Samoan), American Samoa (Samoan), Tokelau (Tokelauan), Tahiti (Tahitian), and Tonga (Tongan).Only Fil-Ams have these identity crisis.Anthropologist refered FILIPINOS as Austronesians not Pacific Islander!!they can tell it from the HAPLOGROUPS and Genetics!!

I'm a Filipino but my DNA says I'm 30% Turk, 16% Spain, the rest are European. Not even 1% came from indigenous or the origin of the Filipinos.

The truth is most Spaniards who came to the Philippines are from Andalucia, Basque Region, and Madrid. Greeks from Malta, as well as Italians from Sardinia, arrived with them; then French from Gibraltar and Camargue migrated to the Philippines too and the Portuguese settled in many provinces too. These people started to call themselves “FILIPINOS.” They wanted to break away from the power of the KING OF SPAIN. Only those “Castilians, Argentinians and Mexicans are loyal to the king during that time.” They studied and learned all the native dialects in the country; they mixed the Spanish creoles “Ermiteño and Basque Caviteño” with the local dialects and created the “TAGALA” known as TAGALOG. The Native locals of the country were called “ INDIOS.” They thought they were similar with the Incans, Aztecs, and Pacific Islanders.” Governor Narciso Claveria not only imposed the Spanish Names but FORCE ALL OF THESE EUROPEANS TO Intermarry WITH THE LOCALS. NOLI ME TANGERE explains that the “MODERN FILIPINOS are a mixture of EUROPEANS, LATINOS, AND ASIANS.”

Fillipino belong to asian austronesian race some have mix like today some filipino have foreign blood because some filipino women in abroad or here phillipines has maried a foreigner like american japanese korean like that. . . I like you guys cooking "chicken adobo" i think your good in cooking..😁😁🏞🏖🏡🏤

I am a Filipino, I consider myself Asian with Hisanic Influences

Kingdom. Of MAHARLIKA Original name, before Spanish came.

Btw you guys are awesome, may I know where you from?

Btw there are i think 30-50 thousand words of spanish in tagalog if im not mistaken

Asian Pilipino and native Pilipino

Guess what country hosted the Southeast Asian Games? Philippines! Good job! Now guess what country did not get invited to the Pacific Games? Right again! The Philippines! Now here's the last question. Why? Ding ding ding! Correct because Filipinos are Asian, not Pacific islanders! Perfectly said, great job!

React geography of the Philippines thanks I hope you react this

Hairdressers open june1 Matt. Now it's safe for you to come 😊

i’m from the blood of Datu Marikudo i’m a MAHARLIKAN aka Philippines 🇵🇭 i’m asian bornean some said that i am looks like astonesian i don’t know what that means

I am extrateresstrials 👽

The Modern Filipinos are originated from Southern China, “About 40% of the Philippine population are people who’s ethnic origin originated from Southern China whilst the majority’s ethnic origin originated from Ancient East Asia (*Austronesians) Do Filipinos have Spanish blood? Many people in The Philippines think they have Spanish ancestry and families spread that story down through the generations, but the reality is the vast 99% majority of the Philippine population have no Spanish ancestry. Why is it that only 3% to 5% of Filipinos have Spanish blood despite 300 years of colonisation? Because Spain didn’t have the same policies for Philippines compared to South America where mass extensive race mixing, genocide, and cultural replacement all occurred. Their also wasn’t a large migration of Spaniards in Philippines in the first place hence why the old culture of the Philippines is still attained and most of the Philippine population do not carry Spanish ancestery. Are Filipinos and Pacific islanders look the same? Yes, Pacific Islanders are originated from Taiwan and The Philippines, but, are Filipinos and Pacific Islanders look the same? the answer is, nope, Pacific Islanders are heavily mixed with Papuans and Melanesians, while a sizable portion of the Philippine population are Asians, mixed with Southern Chinese and other East and Southeast Asians groups.

we are built different

Our ancestors traced back to Taiwan, we are Austronesian decents..

😊👍🏻

I wonder what the results would show for a 23andMe dna test? Is there any pure Filipinos still around? They have been mixing for centuries with many different races, that they are everything! 😂

Gold makes the world go round. So it is not a question of how people intermingled without money, it is a question though of why they used gold there. Fast forward we know gold is used for security from being persecuted.

1:28 When you say “a traditional asian look”, I think what you’re talking about is the stereotypical look of asians and if you say it like that I would think also that you’re girlfriend is asian because she has the “traditional asian look”. lol Yes, It’s south/east asian features because we also have west Asians or Middle Easterns by Western people, West Asians are the Indians, Caucasians, Afghans, etc.

i am filipino, but i don't confirm myself as a pacific islander, and hispanic. its just ppl don't rlly do some research and may be dumb.

What would Filipinos be after another 100 or 300 years specially now that the world is becoming just a small village!
