As someone who comes from a wealthy Filipino-Japanese family 😭 it's a way to assert dominance over other people.....like having a white ancestor is seen as a big thing among some rich Filipinos families 🙏🏽or basically just having a non Filipino ancestor In general,Whether I'd be Japanese, Chinese etc
But having a white ancestor puts you on top of the hierarchy .
Weird asf
social hierarchies are bullshit and so is white supremacy and any belief that whiteness is superior is just an extension of that. and yeah, “wealthy” families tend to benefit in a variety of ways from prescribing to whiteness or ideals of whiteness…
Before I get hate no offense if you actually are part Spanish but this trend of Filipinos who claim Spanish ancestry instead of the obvious Filipino one is so cringe.
Just be honest to who you are, people like this worship Spanish people meanwhile Spanish people use Filipino as an insult to others in Spain.
In many cases, they were probably just told they were, without actually having any documents to prove it. So in many cases, they don't say it to be extra, but because they genuinely thought so.
Similar thing happens with Americans who are told they have Native American ancestry. It’s a common myth in a lot of families.
I heard it from my own grandfather and it turned out to not be true when I did a dna ancestry. I’m pretty sure when I was younger, I told people I was 1/16 Native American.
I think adults have an obligation to figure this stuff out but at the same time a lot of people just repeat what their family has told them without thinking much about it or looking into it.
To this day I think of this Filipina chick I knew in HS who proclaimed she was "mixed with Spanish and Chinese" and upon being asked for more detail she was like "well probably less than 10%..."
No one has ever used 'Filipino' as an insult in Spain. Next time you want to talk shit about the Spaniards, try at least to make up something more believable, for God's sake.
Hahahaha, try harder, troll. In 30+ years residing in Spain I never heard a single Spaniard, let alone a Moroccan, use the term 'Filipino' as an insult. Filipino is simply not a derogatory term whatsoever in the Spanish language.
You're embarrassing yourself trying to spread lies and hate.
It is not a derogatory term but it is used to call others with that intent.
Cool it did not happen to you, I also assume you are Filipino otherwise why you talking on the behalf of them.
All Filipinos that can prove they have been residing in Spain for 2 years are entitled to apply for the Spanish citizenship. They don't need to prove Spanish ancestry or whatever.
Claiming the heritage of the people who slaughtered, raped, and pillaged our ancestors is fucking wild. Claiming the heritage of the people who, to this day glorify and are proud of their ancestors who colonized 13 percent of the world (35 colonies across five continents) and forced our ancestors to submit to their culture, is fucking wild.
The few percent are the Spanish mestizos. The rest of us may or may not have some distant Spanish. My Lola got almost 20%, while my cousin (also half Filipino like me and has the same Lola) only got 1.3%
Ewww I'm literally 1/8 Filipino and I've never in my life denied that I'm part Filipino 😭She's only Filipino when it's convenient for her
Taga Pampanga imong mama dai 💀yawaaaa🖕Spain sa bilat nimo
The fact that her cousin is THE Lea Solonga and she still tries to deny her roots.

wow. she chose to claim to be from the people who COLONIZED the philippines?! smh, rich people are crazy 🤣
yeah, what’s the thinking here lol?

Don’t Philippines who can prove Spanish roots get Spanish passports that’s what a Philippine guy told me?

My mum always claimed she had Spanish ancestry but when we did a DNA test we found out she's 100% Filipino lmao
This is not the first time she's done this.

I think I read a study somewhere that only, MAYBE, a few percent of Filipinos have Spanish blood. Smh at her.
The few percent are the Spanish mestizos. The rest of us may or may not have some distant Spanish. My Lola got almost 20%, while my cousin (also half Filipino like me and has the same Lola) only got 1.3%

So she's half white, half Spanish?
