In Italy I was mistaken for a Japanese. Then, an Arab once told me I could pass for a Saudi. In the US, some people thought I was Mexican or Hispanic. I am proud to be ethnically Filipino.

I'm an Anglo-Saxon Canadian married to an amazing Filipina I met at the University of British Columbia during our graduate studies. She has a Ph.D. in Food Science while mine is in Engineering. I think the bottom line here is to treat people with respect and dignity, regardless of their nationality, religion, gender, and physical features.

I'm a Filipino who went and traveled to France and was mistaken as Latino. Went to Spain and mistaken as Japanese because of my squinty eyes. Only in Malaysia and Singapore I was correctly recognized as Filipino.

A Filipino here. I was in Bangkok and was always mistaken for a Thai. I was in Rome and a Mexican couple were taking to me in Spanish.
I was in Austria and a gentleman from Chile kept taking to me in Spanish. In Athens, a gentleman from the Dominican Republic invited me for lunch.
I can speak a little Spanish but am not a fluent Speaker. Funny thing is that I don't think I look like a Latino. I guess it's just because of my Spanish family name.

i've always wondered why most people in batanes are taller than average filipinos until i realized that seafood is very accessible to them that it's been an important part of their diet, hence, seafood calcium helping develop their skeletal growth. their age-old tradition of drying fish is so important because they experience the most number of typhoons in the philippines. and what better way to enjoy those crunchy fried dried dorado and flying fish than during rainy/stormy days. batanes has always been in my bucket list.

Im Filipino but I have French and Cherokee ancestry. Ever since my teen years and my young adult life, I grew out and had long hair. Whats interesting is that people that doesnt really know my bakground would compliment my hair and say things out of the blue like, your hiar is so nice, its like native american hair. Then they try and guess my age and they are at the range of 35 to under 40. When I tell them that im 51, they immediately go to the skin features on how healthy and young my skin are. Thank you for this insightful video. Reason ive been looking is because 2 weeks ago, a colleague ask 'what are real Fiilipinos?'. He is of Koren and Japanese ancestry that also lived and worked in China for 10 years...
I had a long explanation. 😅..

Filipinos are a mixed of different races. I was in Malaysia to buy a slipper in a mall store and I was mistaken for a Japanese. In college, I was mistaken for a Chinese. Many of the present crap of Filipinos are mestizos, meaning half-foreigner like Fil-Am e.g. Ms. World Megan Young; Fil-Spanish e.g. Actress Marian Rivera, Family actors Gutierrez; Fil-German e.g. Ms. Universe Pia Wurztbach, Family actors Eigenmann; Fil-Japanese e.g. Actor Akihiro; Fil- Jordanian e.g. Yasser Marta; Fil-Polish e.g. Basketball player Robert Jaworski; Fil-Chinese e.g. Magnates Cojuangcos, Gotuacos, Gotianums, Sys, Yuchengcos, Angs, Tans, etc.; Fil- Russian e.g. Family actors Kookoritchin; Fil-Swedish e.g. Actress Cristine Reyes; Fil-Nigerian e.g. CJ Perez. AJ Edu; Fil-Indian Ms. Universe 3rd runner up Venus Raj.

My wife had light brown skin tone and she is so stunning filipinas are just beautiful and gorgeous

Madeline shares my perspective. In our local context, distinguishing foreigners is often challenging due to a lack of exposure. We typically perceive them solely as foreigners, relying mainly on information from social media and mainstream media. This doesn't amount to discrimination (for us). For instance, when I encounter a white person, the first individuals who come to mind are often figures like Maria Carey and Britney Spears. Similarly, when I encounter black Americans, I may associate them with artists like Nicki Minaj or Cardi B. My initial impression of you is that you resemble a well-known personality that i admire so i might treat you like one. However, this isn't discriminatory. It's merely our limited ability to differentiate or recognize foreigners, especially when we've just met them once, in contrast to fellow Filipinos, whom we can often identify at a glance or by the tone of their voice, we can easily identify what their region of origin in the Philippines.

I have a brown skin filipino being always in the sea when i was young. But when i moved to Manila i became lighter skin. And when I stayed in Germany to work several years my skin became like of european not perfectly white but very light skin.

[donnareyes]

my grandparents on both sides came from different races. From my father, we have a Chinese grandpa and a Spanish grandma. From my mom's we have Japanese Abuela and Spanish Abuela. I don't have Filipino blood. But I am Filipino. 😍😍😍😍

[marlitovillena]

thank you so much for embracing our culture. I really appreciate it❤

[janicadamiles]

I myself could say that Filipinos are very diverse.

[GiancarloandNick]

Pretty good video, Nelly!
I am glad that you love it in the Philippines.

You can identify a Filipino not by how they look but how they sound when you let them sing karaoke! They may have Asian accents but when they sing English songs they leave the accent behind 😁 Filipinos are incredible singers!
