    Spain made their way to the Philippines by way of Mexico. Acapulco was the center port of trade between Spain-Mexico-Philippines. That trade brought spices back to the Americas while it brought New World fruits to the Philippines. What many Filipinos think are local fruits like atis (anona blanca), papaya, chico (chico mamey), carambola (star fruit), guava (guanabana) are actually fruits brought in from tropical Mexico and has thrived in the Philippines as well as other South East Asian countries.

    Ethnically, Filipinos are classified as Malays (from Malay peninsula) which include people of Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Madagascar (East Africa), and Western Pacific islands. There are many mixed blood Filipinos due to colonization (Spanish, Chinese, American, etc...). Although it is accepted and taught in schools that the Philippines were populated by groups from Indonesia, Malaysia, and southern China and interbred in the Philippines, modern anthropologists agree it was the opposite. They say it was people of western Pacific islands like Micronesia, Guam, that populated what is now Taiwan before the arrival of Chinese, made their way to the Philippines, and spread out to South East Asia. The languages are also related: Malagasy, Philippine languages like Tagalog, Malay, Bahasa Indonesia, Chamorro (Guam), Samoan, Tongan, Hawaiian, all related to each other.

    The Spanish influence in the Philippines is tremendous as you can see in the names, language, culture, and food.

    When both the Philippines and Mexico (then called New Spain) were under Spanish rule, the Philippines was run through New Spain.

    That dialect is a Spanish creole language called "chavacano" spoken by about 1 million people in the southern province of Zamboanga. The other 175 dialects like Tagalog contain many Spanish words as well.

    Yes, he is Indonesian and related to Filipino because if you look at the language of Indonesia and Filipino you will see similarities which is one of many example that shows the common roots of our ancestors, it is believed that the Malayu-Austronesian people may have come from taiwan and have migrated from Island to Island. Yes, even before the Europeans build ships the people the SEA ISLaNDS were already navigators etc.Chris Johns is Chinese and Malay so therefor that makes him just like Filipinos of mix heritage of mostly Chinese and Local brown people.

    The one common word of LIMA which is number 5 even Samoan it means number 5. Mata which means EYE. And also there's repetition of words in the languages of the Malayu such KAKA VUVU etc ALA ALA uso these words are found in all these lands populated by austronesian people which shows a link to the past, which have been altered we have todays interpretation.

    If ever there was intermixing of Filipinos and Mexicans it would be very minimal. Of all the Spanish colonies probably Guam would be the place that intermarriage between the 2 ethnic groups would be pronounced. Guam being the transit point during the galleon trade between the Philippines and Mexico.

    filipinos at first looked like chris john then spain invaded and settled for about 300 yrs thus transforming the chris john (malay)-looking filipinos into an aga mulach-looking filipino.

    same thing for chinese, american, japanese filipinos.
