Filipinos came from a mixture of Asian, European, and American peoples--the Negritos, Indonesians, Malays, Chinese, Indians, Arabs and other Asians; The Spaniards, British and other Europeans; the Mexicans and Americans of South and North America.
According to Dr. H. Otley Beyer, noted American anthropologist, the racial ancestry of Filipinos is as follows: Malay - 40%; Indonesian - 30%; Chinese - 10%, Indian (Hindu) - 5%, European & American - 3%, and Arab - 2%.
Beneath the veneer of Hispanic, Mexican and American heritage, the people, in heart and in spirit, are Asians. they are Asian in race and in geography with an indestructible Asian heritage.
The warmth and natural hospitality of the nation's Filipinos today, is known throughout the world. The 11 cultural, linguistic and racial groups endow the Filipino people with varying customs and traditions. In spite of their diversity, Filipinos have basically two dominant traits: a love of family and a strong religious faith.

Filipinos always think that ABS-CBN is better than GMA, or vice-versa. Either way, it's pointless and stupid to argue about stuff like that. Both stations suck, anyway.

filipinos are not asains, they dont have chinky eyes, and they have a little spanish blood in them. Filipinos are and should be considered filipino/filipina or Pacific Islander. they should never be considered asain and all the other races really dont know so dont ask them because they arent filipino. look how close somoa is to phillipines. thats why filipinos sometimes look either spanish or latino and somoan.

A hybrid person resulting from having been conquered by horny indiscriminant Spanish sailors. Basically, they are "Sea Mexicans". Dumber than regular Mexicans, they consider the equivalent of a nursing degree their baseline for a medical doctor. Nothing makes you fear for your life like having one for a nurse while you are helpless in the hospital. Greedy, petty, and materialistic personalities dominate their culture. They have "No shitting on the beach" pictograph signs, because they are basically unclean. Filipinos are incapable of giving directions to their own house. Their language makes them cluck out every word like "buk buk". Gunggong is their word for retard.
