Who The Hell Is This? Why Is He Even On This Site? He’s A Nobody. Never Even Heard Of Him!
Most filipinos are not mixed. The spaniards in the country in the colonial period are not as numerous as the chinese. Both of them have no major impact on the majority.
That was for ??????
True most Filipinos are pure Filipino not all of them are mixed.
His mother is listed as Danish in his wikipedia
Can you make this website have a layout/background? Tt looks dull like this. I like this website though. Put more people up can you, please?
i don’t get it is his father Spanish or Filipino???
His dad is a mixture of Spanish and Filipino. Most likely his dad is from the Phillipines, but has a lot of Spanish blood, but he could be like Enrique Iglesias and be half Spanish, half Filipino.
well a lot of Filipinos have Spanish blood.
i live here in the philippines and majority of the people here are not pure filipinos,,
the majority of filpinos in the Philippines are pure. Some filipinos are just delusional that we are mix. But we are not you should stop claiming something that it is not true.
if you know philippine history then you should know that we filipinos are never pure in blood.
and if one says of spanish-filipino it means it LITERALLY coz we are of spanish blood
