About 75% of them have Spanish surnames.
Pft. You don't count. You don't even know your racial background.

I have nothing at all to do with them, but still. :lol:
Of those posted, I am only familiar with Pilita Corrales, her daughter Jackie Lou Blanco, Isabel Preysler and the Zobel de Ayalas, Jaime in particular. Not that I know any of them personally, but I have seen them before or know something about them. I've heard Pilita Corrales songs. The old actresses were beautiful too. Based on what I have read, the late Spanish singer Rocío Durcal's husband is also Filipino and is related to the Araneta lady there.

well, both taino and filipino are Asian, so they could have a linguistical relation.
They are Asian racially an by blood, not that taino also lives in Asia(they once lived there before crossing over)

The consensus seems to be that the Amerindians from North America came through Siberia when the Asian and American continents were joined during the Ice Ages, while the ones from Central and South America came via island-hopping from Polynesia. From South America, the Arawaks, the would separate in two main branches, the Caribs, which were war-like and would inhabit the minor windward island, and the Taino, which were more peaceful, and would settle the four greater islands (Cuba, Haiti, Jamaica and Boriken).

while the ones from Central and South America came via island-hopping from Polynesia. yes but how they could cross the entire pacific Ocean from there, you know, it is bigger than the atlantic ocean and even the spaniards sometimes didn't make it on their "galeons", then how did them came in some measly"piragua"( not to be offensive, but those boats were rustic and i don't think it could resist storms or Amerindians resists months or even years crossing over)

But there isn't really another explanation, cuz' culturally speaking North and Central/South Americans were millions of light-years away from each other, so it doesn't seem plausible for them to come from the same tree. I seriously don't believe that the Taino came from the same place as the Maya or the Aztec, if you get my drift. The first two where on their way to becoming true empires, while the latter where still on the Stone Age.

I seriously don't believe that the Taino came from the same place as the Maya or the Aztec, if you get my drift.Also their phenotype(Taino) is closer to Polynesian than American Indians, but still i don't see how they manage to survive a gigantic ocean such as the Pacific, the only way is that there were more islands then that got sunk in the ocean.

There is another explanation: two separate exoduses over the Beringa (or at least along the north, could be by boat.) but from the same root population in Asia, thousands of years apart.
The North and South Amerindians are far too closely related for any other explanation to be realistic. The Polynesians did cross most of the Pacific, but they had an advanced navigation and boating capability, which I seriously doubt existed when the original people came to the Americas.
Remember how uniform the Y-DNA is in the Americas. There's only some variation in the NW and NE, otherwise it's fairly uniform, clearly of the same origin.

Spanish, Mestizos and Castizos are common in Zamboanga especially, you'll find them in Manila Metro and Cebu City also. Some speak pure Spanish/Castillian while others speak Chavacano, a creole language, which has 5-6 million population.

Around 150 to 200 languages. It is a very diverse country ethnolinguistically-wise just like Mexico.
Here is a list of the major ones, and their populations.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_the_Philippines
Name of Philippine language Number of native speakers[8]
Tagalog 22,000,000
Cebuano 20,000,000
Ilokano 7,700,000
Hiligaynon 7,000,000
Waray-Waray 3,100,000
Kapampangan 2,900,000
Chavacano (Spanish Creole) 2,500,000
Northern Bicol[9] 2,500,000
Pangasinan 2,434,086
Southern Bicol[10] 1,200,000
Maranao 1,150,000
Maguindanao 1,100,000
Kinaray-a 1,051,000
Tausug 1,022,000
Surigaonon 600,000
Masbateño 530,000
Aklanon 520,000
Ibanag 320,000
English is one of two official languages in the Philippines, the other being Pilipino (or Filipino) which is essentially Tagalog, the native language of the capital, Manila, and surrounding areas.
English is spoken by most Filipinos to a certain level of proficiency depending upon how often they practice it.

He's a pro-football player who previously was a player for the Spanish league but now is an independent and currently plays for the Philippines. :)
This is Angel's niece...a young Spanish-Filipina actress. She's only 1/4 Spanish but her features are very distinct.
Is she really only 1/4? Maybe she has Chinese ancestry too? :confused:

Pilita Corrales and her daughter are good example of Spanish-Filipinos. They are a mix, but with more Spanish than Filipino blood, probably because Corrales's mother also has Spanish ancestry. I've read Pilita's father was a Spaniard. It would be nice if someone posted her pictures, and her daughter's too.

Here's Pilita. She definitely has Spanish ancestry.
I know lots of Philipinos have spanish or american names, was it because surnames were given to people during these times (I mean having spanish name doesnt mean you have to have any spanish blood) or the occupants used to give local srnames too?

most filipinos on 23andme got at least 1-2% european. And on the artemis project filipinos gets 5% european. there is definately spanish blood in filipinos more than people think. Just because 3,6% had a european Y DNA doesnt mean that they are the only ones with spanish blood. The mestizos had daughters who married filipino men etc.
Yes I can assume that lots of Philipinos have at least a bit of spanish blood, but does it equal with reasons of having spanish surnames? Basically, what interets me, do yoou have many Tagalo surnames?
Some of the Spanish surnames were invented for the purpose, they aren't real Spanish surnames. I forgot the link, but there's some page somewhere with a list of those names.
So, just because someone has a Spanish surname doesn't mean that they have any Spanish ancestry (they could have, but it's not related to the surname) unless they have a real Spanish surname.

Overall very nice looking people, some might be more Spanish than Filipino in my view, however, the more balanced I think are the best looking. IMO.

what happened to your previous claim that filipinos get 30%-40% european? :whoco: :lol:
and that pinoys are latinos? i can see the european claim now is a little bit toned down now just to 1-5%? as time pass by swallow your own delusional pinoys are latino sh1t eh?? lolol :ashamed:
I can see it's still there ameno but u toned it down because i exposed your dumbass "pinoys are latino" agenda? :lol:
Doesn't mean anything...my last name is French but I'm still Filipino. ;)
what is your french last name cause I got french middle name from my mom maiden name?

I agree on this one. the Spanish or mestizo looking is strong from my 3rd and 2nd great grandparents and (great2x-grand uncles/aunties) specially, during 18th century now that a lot of our Ancestors & their Descendants are marrying Filipino with other ethnic background of Austronesian etc.
I've been tracing my Ancestors since 2005 and here are what I found maternal side & from that the face of my maternal paternal side start to change because they stop marrying the same mestizos with european origin. starting to my
1st great-grandfather till my mother. my father side is more on Austronesian side with Indian Ancestry from my 3rd great-grandfather who is a merchant. My maternal grandmother looks like from East Asian Chinese.
2nd great-grandfather - French Mestizo
mother: Spanish Mestiza probably with Italian need to trace "Marfori" her surname when she was single. Where the "Marfori" came from but I know she's Spanish Mestiza.
father: French Mestizo
3rd great-grandfather - French with German Descent married to Spanish Mestiza
his business before was wine distillery.

From what I know, Mexican cuisine is still breaking in the Philippines. I've seen a few places where they sell tacos, but extremely rare. But it may depend where you go. I've yet to see a tamale in the Philippines. When I brought tamales to a Filipino party, it was too foreign for them. I love tamales btw, but most Filipinos are unaccustomed to them.
One of Mestizo from our family can you figure it out what is his ethnicity or mix based from his look.

I hate the black hondruans and indians that stole my families surname, they are such fakes, fucking up the reputation of my family name :-/
my family name is so rare, most of them can be tracked as being related, but now the population of "fakes" hondurans and indians who just took on the name is out growing the originals, and it's disgusting :P

I'll take a wild guess. His Filipino side is probably Tagalog or Visayan or Zamboangan, and his Spanish side could be anywhere, but most Filipino mestizos have Andalusian ancestry, and a few have Basque ancestry.

Wrong! the study showed how many filipino males that carried on a spanish Y DNA haplogroup. And as you know all those spanish mestizos in the Philippines didnt have sons they also had daughters who married chinese filipino men etc. So the true number might be closer to 10%.

I was going off memory, and I didn't read the study, just what the study was reported to have concluded. Anyhow, I always thought the numbers would be higher. But why 10%? I would guess 2-3% x 2 = 4-6% to take into account the daughters. But 10% is reasonable.

Are you asking how does a Filipino mestizo find out if they have Basque or Andalusian ancestry? If that's what you're asking, then one way is through records books, but only a very few have that. I'm not familiar with Spanish and Basque genetic markers, but there may be a way with this method also.

No.
Since his mother is a Mestiza, so he has to be at least 1/4...
The longhaired guy cannot pass as a Filipino... The woman in the first pic either.[COLOR="Silver"]

Actually, the long-haired guy is half-Filipino half-Spanish football player, Angel Guirado Aldeguer. I've posted a pic of both of us before. His girlfriend is full Spanish.
That's him holding both The Philippine and Spanish flags.

I didn't know he has Andalusian or Basque ancestry. I was taking a wild guess as I said. But most Filipino mestizos have Andalusian ancestry.

I was going off memory, and I didn't read the study, just what the study was reported to have concluded. Anyhow, I always thought the numbers would be higher. But why 10%? I would guess 2-3% x 2 = 4-6% to take into account the daughters. But 10% is reasonable.
It may also vary depending on region. Mindanao probably got less spanish admixture than for instance Cebu. Its possible that in some regions there are 20% with spanish blood and in other regions only 1%.

Yeah that's true. It varies. I would say places like Cebu, Negros island, Iloilo and Capiz, Zamboanga, and a few other places have the highest mestizo percentages.
Are you asking how does a Filipino mestizo find out if they have Basque or Andalusian ancestry? If that's what you're asking, then one way is through records books, but only a very few have that. I'm not familiar with Spanish and Basque genetic markers, but there may be a way with this method also.
I guess I have to check great-grandma instead to check if she have andalussian or basque lol.. I already asked about his french side though cause great-grandpa came from the area of puylaurens, tarn department from midi-pyrenees region, castres district of france & the language they used is occitan a distant relative of Catalan language in Catalonia Spain. They are not Basques but some of the residence of Southern France really look like Spaniards too but they have this phenotype.. someone said my relative from the photo have "Languedocian (Languedoc)" vibe, I don't know about this phenotype just now from biodiversity :lol: I am learning actually the human variation.

I was just reading your other post. It looks like you have a lot of different European ancestry. Well, for your great grandpa from the tarn department of Southern France, he could pass as part Spaniard for the reasons you mentioned. He looks part native Filipino, so it's hard to ascertain what type of European ancestry he would have, although I would guess Spanish naturally, but southern France would fit also. It looks like a lot of people migrated to the Philippines overtime other than Andalusian Spaniards. :)

Non-Spaniards as in Europeans who were non-Spaniards?
It seems there were several Europeans that migrated to the Philippines in the 1800s for economic opportunities. I'm thinking especially of the Basque. It seems that most of the Basque migrated during that time, and apparently others as well such as your great grandpa.

I'm rumored to have Spanish ancestry on my mother side. But there's nothing conclusive. And it's hard to say looking at my late great grandmother, or my late grandmother and her siblings whether they had Spanish ancestry. But they talk about it. My great grandfather (or great great grandfather) is said to have written in Spanish at a time when most people were illiterate, and only a few could write especially those of Spanish ancestry. Whether this is proof or not, I don't know. Anyhow, I don't have any documents passed down that shows it.

Try searching on documents at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It stated on birth certificate the ethnic background. But in the Philippines racial caste system during Spanish era they were following the Patrilineality due to tax purposes and also ethnic classification which was printed in their cedulas and birth certificate. But a lot of mestizo daughters married a non-mestizo who were known as indios.
Example: Gabriela Silang (Mestizo de Espanol)
You really have to contact all the relatives haha for any pictures and documents. I guess a lot of Filipinos are not much about ancestral histories. Even myself I was not interested before.

I am catholic too. my 3rd cousin found a microfilm copy of her 1st great-grandpa's birth certificate on that church and most of our relatives said that most of our old folks birth, marriage and death records were there & glad that some of our relatives kept mails too from our G-G-G Grandparents both in Spanish and French language from our old folks that is how we got the address in France and some relatives traveled in France just to see and met our long lost relatives in Puylaurens.
it's like you're doing a puzzle by collecting all the information with the help of old relatives. I learnt a lot about some of our ancestor little by little and to understand where we really came from and who are they to connect with our present. I guess we were the only one who can answer some question about our past by digging & do researching although it's hard though. because most of the Filipinos don't usually check genealogy. At the end, I am still Filipino and proud.

Mostly their respective regional language, but many can speak Tagalog since they're taught it, but not at the same proficiency as those in the capital which is where the Tagalog language natively exist. As for Spanish, there are a few Spanish creoles that are all called Chavacanos. They are spoken in certain areas of the country like Zamboanga City, and a few others. They are creoles, and not actual Spanish languages. They have mostly a Philippine language grammar, but mostly a Spanish vocabulary. I don't speak any of them, so I can't say from personal experience. Many Filipinos were taught Spanish up until the early 1980s as it was compulsory in some places.

Marcelo Azcárraga Palmero (1832–1915) was the thirteenth Prime Minister of Spain following the restoration of the Spanish monarchy. Azcárraga was also the only Spanish Prime Minister of Filipino descent.
Azcárraga was born in 1832, in Manila, Philippines, to General Jose Azcárraga, a native of Vizcaya, Spain, a bookshop owner in Escolta, and to María Palmero, a Mestiza from Albay.[2]

^ Trinidad Pardo de Taviera
http://myrizal150.com/wp-content/uploads/pardodetavera.jpg
Trinidad was born on April 13, 1857 to Spanish lawyer and government official Félix Pardo de Tavera and Juliana Gorricho from a wealthy, illustrious Filipino family. The Pardos de Tavera had a long history. His father, Félix, descended from the Portuguese aristocratic family of Pardo from Tavira, Portugal. In late 1640s, the Pardos added the name de Tavera to affix their place of origin similar to Spanish noble customs. Among the notable members of the family was Juan Pardo de Tavera, who carried the title Marquis de Magahon and Juan VI Pardo de Tavera, the Archbishop of Toledo, Primate of Spain and Grand Inquisitor of Spain during the reign of Emperor Charles V (and I of Spain). In 1825, Trinidad's grandfather and Félix's father, Julián Pardo de Tavera, set sail for Manila and married a Filipina named Juana María Gómez. Julián and Juana bore three children: Félix, Joaquín and Carmen.
The Pardos de Tavera lived in Cabildo St., Intramuros. Félix and Joaquín were sent to University of Santo Tomas where they both finished bachelor of laws. The brothers also worked for the advisory council of the governor-general. They married sisters, Juliana and Gertrudis Gorricho.
Trinidad's mother has its origins rooted from an Irishman named Joseph Doyle. Juliana Gorricho was the daughter of José Dámaso Gorricho, a wealthy landowner in Manila and Cavite and owner of country's largest money-lending company that time. José's father, Miguel Ignacio Gorricho, was a Spanish from Pamplona who became the governor of Capiz province. Juliana's mother, Ciriaca de los Santos, was a Filipino enterprising woman from Cavite who made their family fortune by selling hay to horses used by the Spanish cavalry.
Félix Pardo de Tavera and Juliana Gorricho bore three children, namely Trinidad himself, Félix hijo and María de la Paz

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/21/Paulino_Alcantara.jpg
Paulino Alcántara Riestrá (7 October 1896–13 February 1964) was a Filipino–Spanish footballer and manager. He spent most of his playing career at Barcelona and was the first Filipino and Asian player to play for a European club. He also played for Catalonia, the Philippines and Spain. Alcántara made his debut for Barcelona at the age of 15 and remains the youngest player to play or score for the club. He also scored 369 goals in 357 matches, making him the club's highest goalscorer (counting goals scored in both official games and friendlies).[1] After retiring as a player in 1927 at the age of 31, he became a doctor. On 3 July 1927, Barcelona played against Spain in a testimonial match in his honour (Spain won 2-1[2]) and he later served as a club director between 1931 and 1934. In 1951, Alcántara became a coach and managed Spain for three games.
Alcántara was born in the province of Iloilo in the Philippines to a Spanish military officer and an Ilongga mother.[3] He was three years old when his family moved to Barcelona, the same year that FC Barcelona was formed by Joan Gamper.

Politician and former Philippine President
Manuel Luis Quezón y Molina (August 19, 1878 – August 1, 1944) served as president of the Commonwealth of the Philippines from 1935 to 1944. He was the first Filipino to head a government of the Philippines (as opposed to other historical states). Quezón is considered by most Filipinos to have been the second president of the Philippines, after Emilio Aguinaldo (1897–1901).
Quezón was the first Senate president elected to the presidency, the first president elected through a national election, and the first incumbent to secure re-election (for a partial second term, later extended, due to amendments to the 1935 Constitution). He is known as the "Father of the National Language".
Quezón, was born in Baler in the district of El Príncipe[1] (which later became Baler, Tayabas, now Baler, Aurora). His Spanish parents were Lucio Quezón and María Dolores Molina. His father was a primary grade school teacher from Paco, Manila, and also a retired Sergeant in the Spanish colonial army, while his mother was a primary grade school teacher in their hometown.

Most of the Filipino artist during the 40's are Anglo due to American colonization & others specially during the late 18th century when they open the Suez Canal for other European, this is the result of the migration. some of them are just using hispanic surnames. but we don't know maybe they also do have though... there's one article showing their real names & their foreign admixed. They are the Filipino version of Hollywood stars during the American era during the 40's
It’s been noted that nowadays, mestizos and mestizas teem in showbiz. The industry is swamped with stars possessing foreign blood – American, Italian, Australian, Arab, British, Japanese, and among others.
Think of Melissa Ricks, Megan and Lauren Young, Jackie Rice, Gerald Anderson, Matt Evans, Sam Milby (American), Paolo Contis, Stefano Mori, Nancy Jane Castiglione (Italian), Anne Curtis (Australian), Rhian Ramos (British), Yasmien Kurdi, Sarah Lahbati, Prince Estefan (Arab), Mara Lopez, Iwa Moto, Nina Kodaka (Japanese), and Piolo Pascual (German).
Not really new. From way, way back actors and actresses with foreign blood have been dominating, in a manner of speaking, Philippine showbiz.
In the ’50s, the two movie queens are Fil-Ams mestizas, Gloria Romero and Nida Blanca. Glo’s mother was American, Mary Borego, while Nida’s father was American, her offscreen name being Dorothy Jones.
Consider the other top stars of the ’50s, mestizas all: Anita Linda (Alice Lake), Delia Razon (Betty Hill), Lolita Rodriguez (Lolita Clark), Erlinda Cortez (Mary Boone), Elvira Reyes (Gloria Madison).
How about the actors of the ’50s? Mario Montenegro (Roger Collin), Eddie Mesa (Eduardo Eigenmann), Johnny Monteiro (John Montgomery), Ric Rodrigo (Albert Paul Bregendahl).
In the ’60s, the two movie queens are also mestizas: Susan Roces, whose mother had French blood (Levy), and Amalia Fuentes of German-Spanish ancestry (Muhlach).
The biggest actor of the ’60s (of all time, actually) was Fernando Poe Jr., whose mother was American, Bessie Kelley.
In the ’30s and ’40s, the two movie queens were also half-Americans: Rosa del Rosario (Rose Stagner) and Carmen Rosales (Januaria Keller).
Another American mestiza, Mary Walter, came even much earlier. She started in silent movies in the ’20s and continued acting until her death in the ’90s.
In the ’40s two Eurasians joined the movies: Paraluman (Sigrid Von Giese, German) and Linda Estrella (Consuello Rigotti, Italian).
More Amboys (American boys) come to mind: Ronald Valdez (Ronald Gibbs), Dante Rivero (Louie Meyer), Eddie Gutierrez (mother was Mary Pickett), Christopher de Leon (remember his mother is Lilia Dizon, Caroline Strauss offcam), Eric and Epy Quizon (mother is Alice Smith, briefly known as starlet Pamela Ponti), Mario O’Hara, Blakjak, Luke Mejares.
The Amgirls include Divina Valencia (Consolacion Fuller), Marissa Delgado (Epifania Boyle), Corazon Rivas (Sweet Williams), Vilma Valera (Vilma Johnson), Gina Pareño, Jeanne Young.
The mothers of Monsour del Rosario, Kuh Ledesma, and Dawn Zulueta trace their roots to the Middle East.
Not included on the list of mestizos and mestizas in showbiz are those with Spanish blood for there are so many of them. The fathers of Marian Rivera, Jake Cuenca, and Nadia Montenegro are pure Spanish – from Madrid, Valencia, and Barcelona, respectively.
Gary Valenciano’s mother is Puerto Rican. Ilac Diaz’s mother is Italian. His cousin is Australian. Christopher Roxas’s father is French.
With so many Filipinos working all over the world, with partners coming from different countries, expect more mestizos and mestizas to be in showbiz and other fields of endeavor.
Ronald Constantino, a stalwart in entertainment journalism, has been covering show business since the mid-1960s. He served as two-term president of the Philippine Movie Press Club in the ’70s.
There's an error from the article regarding Delia Razon's real name, her real name is Karyl Grytz (American-German descent & she's not Betty Hill)

Many of them actually look distinguishable from Latin American mestizos, despite a lot of people saying that they look basically similar. I think you can tell that the Filipino mestizos are partially East Asian and not Amerindian.

Most of the Filipino artist during the 40's are Anglo due to American colonization & others specially during the late 18th century when they open the Suez Canal for other European, this is the result of the migration. some of them are just using hispanic surnames. but we don't know maybe they also do have though... there's one article showing their real names & their foreign admixed. They are the Filipino version of Hollywood stars during the American era during the 40's
There's an error from the article regarding Delia Razon's real name, her real name is Karyl Grytz (American-German descent & she's not Betty Hill)

Don Paulino Aboitiz and Emilia Yrastorza (1st Generation)
The Aboitiz Family
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3251/2905127995_a5009b30a4_o.jpg
The 4th Generation Aboitiz
THE Aboitiz Group traces its beginnings to a fateful journey made over 100 years ago by a son of humble shepherds.
That journey took Paulino Aboitiz from Vizcaya in the Basque region of northern Spain to Leyte in Eastern Visayas, where he planted the seeds of what would become one of the country’s biggest conglomerates with interests in power, banking, shipping, food, construction and real estate.
The reins of the group that Aboitiz founded are now in the hands of the fourth generation and they, like their fathers before them, never forgot the family’s humble beginnings, and this has allowed them to fix their gaze firmly on a brighter future for the group.
Aboitiz group CEO Jon Ramon Aboitiz tells the Inquirer in an interview at the company’s Makati headquarters that unlike other family-run corporations, the Aboitiz group is not in the hands of siblings, but cousins.
This may pose a bigger challenge for other families to keep the family business intact, but not so for the Aboitizes who constantly work on keeping the family and the various businesses together.

After reading this, I think it's ridiculous for Filipinos to claim that there is a lot of Spanish ancestry. Even the celebrities of 50 years ago weren't of Spanish-descent. If the celebrities weren't Spanish then who was? People of Spanish-descent must be a very small portion of the population if even the celebrities aren't Spanish. I think it's funny that they used very Spanish names though, even though they were America-descent and trying to look American
We actually don't know if they do have spanish ancestry. just take a look at Rosemarie Gil she married Eddie Mesa (Eduardo Eigenmann) & he's half Filipino-German. so Cherie, Mark and Michael is mixed ancestry so they have Grandchildren that also entered the showbiz world so they have Spanish ancestry & others, Rosemarie Gil's grand children are now using their real surname from their grandfather Eddie Mesa (Eigenmann). A lot of showbiz personalities don't use their real names and because Philippines' majority surnames are Hispanic so they make it sound more Filipino & people always think they are half-Spanish lol

Javier Jose L. Calero
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3104/2715648325_f485c3c4a1_o.jpg
He is considered the greatest Filipino advertising exec in history.
His grandfather Don Federico Calero, Jr. was a medical student
and close friend of the Philippines' national hero Dr. Jose Rizal!
Calero St. in Manila was named after him!
The Calero family was also involved in the real estate business.
They are relatives of the mestizo Sanchez, Vazquez-Prada,
Garcia, and Fernandez-Cuervo clans.
He was born Javier Jose L. Calero. His father was Spanish, and his grandfather, in fact, was Jose Rizal’s contemporary, a fellow writer who crusaded against everything British.
Calero’s youth was spent in Pasay, where a young Minyong Ordoñez (who would eventually found Basic Advertising) would spy him every Sunday at Sta. Clara de Montefalco Church. Even then, he was imposing in his white shirt, white pants, white socks, white moccasins, and white skin. Ordoñez thought he was “guapito (a handsome youth)…and suplado (a snob).”
But over time, Ordoñez realized that “this mestizo was more Filipino than a Filipino,” much like another mestizo, the fiery and nationalistic President Manuel L. Quezon.

Carlos Ugarte & family
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3025/2996128995_1474206a0e_o.jpg
Although Carlos Ugarte physically looks Basque, he is actually from the Philippines. His grandfather, a sea captain, immigrated to the Philippines from the province of Bizkaia in the 1890’s. Leku Eder is the name of the house that his grandfather built in Manila where he modeled the architecture of his native country and used indigenous materials of the Philippines such as nara wood and capiz shell shingles. It is now a historical landmark in Manila. Carlos and Jeanette lived in the Philippines for several years and found that there was an opportunity to bring wonderful treasures to the United States.
They belong to the Basque mestizo Ugarte clan of Manila and Cebu. The Ugarte family is one of the most prominent in the Philippines. They are closely-related to almost all of the most famous mestizo clans in the Philippines: the Aboitiz, Melian, Zobel-de Ayala, Ortigas, Trillo, de Sequera, Gomez, Villa-Abrille, Darza- Escaño-Lhuillier, etc. clans. Members now live in Cebu, Metro Manila, Australia, Spain, Canada, and the U.S.

http://www.ozamiz.gov.ph/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/ozamizjosesenator03272001_small1.jpg
José Ozámiz y Fortich (May 5, 1898 - February 11, 1944) was a Filipino politician from Mindanao. His parents were Jenaro Ozámiz from Navarre, Spain and Basilisa Fortich, a Filipino mestizo of Spanish and Cebuano ancestry. Jenaro left Spain at age sixteen and came to Moran, then ended up at the Municipality of Jimenez and engaged in the business of abacá and copra trading which made him very rich, acquiring through the years 3.55 km² in tile province and 10 km² ranch in Bukidnon. José spoke his first languages Spanish and Cebuano and English when Philippines came under American rule.
Jenaro and Basilisa’s son Jose was the oldest and the only boy among ten children. Jose was born on May 5, 1898 in Moran in a house near the “old bridge” His sisters are Pacita, Consuelo, Carmen, Pilar, Remedios, Nieves, Mercedes, Paulita, and Lourdes. Three of Jose's sisters Consuelo, Cannon and Nieves remained distinct and never got married. Two entered politics: one was Consuelo, who was a councilor for six terms in Jimenez and Remedios who became a Congresswoman in Bukidnon. Remedios’ son, Carlos Fortich became a politician also by becoming a governor of Bukidnon.
In 1904, the Ozámiz family transferred to a big house in Jimenez, where they engage themselves in the copra business and ship them off to other islands in the Philippines.

Regina Patricia Jose "China" delos Reyes Cojuangco
http://www.grcreativexchange.com/images/16.png
Cojuangco, a Spanish-Chinese Mestizo family based in Tarlac province, owns a vast tract of land in Central Luzon called Hacienda Luisita - which is a sugarcane plantation.
their grandfather Jose Cojuangco's father Melecio Cojuangco y Estrella, whose father was "El Chino" José, a Chinese immigrant. A skilled carpenter, Melecio helped build churches in Binondo, Bulacan and in Gapan, Nueva Ecija. Melecio's mother was Antera Estrella of Gapan, Nueva Ecija, a daughter of Felipe Estrella, a Spaniard and Martina Calub Cruz, a local woman. (With the Estrella connection, the Cojuangcos gained their initial foothold in Nueva Ecija, which explains why Barangay Cojuangco exists in nearby Santa Rosa, Nueva Ecija and which partly explains how the Cojuangcos eventually owned Hacienda Bakal in Talavera, Nueva Ecija).
Melecio's wife was a Chinese mestiza, Doña Tecla Chichioco of Malolos and Hagonoy, Bulacan.
Melecio's siblings include elder sister Ysidra, who massively enlarged the already considerable Cojuangco fortune by buying land and dabbling in sugar mills and real estate; and younger sister Trinidad, who died a spinster.

The consensus seems to be that the Amerindians from North America came through Siberia when the Asian and American continents were joined during the Ice Ages, while the ones from Central and South America came via island-hopping from Polynesia.
Is that really the consensus or just one possible theory? I recall watching a documentary recently on the peopling of the earth and it went with the usual "Amerinds crossed from the Bering Strait in a bunch of waves, many of them stayed in N. America, others continued south." I'm sure any phenotypical variation could have easily come from geographical separation. If I'm not mistaken, the first wave is calculated to be about 30k years ago and that seems like enough time to evolve a little differently.
As far as Southern Amerinds looking less mongoloid than Northern ones (let's exclude Eskimids since they're almost Siberian natives) I don't think that's the case. There are tribes that have a more mongoloid look and tribes that don't, in both South and North America.
There are also taller and shorter tribes in both areas. IMO the reason why most Central and South American Indians are short is climate. Most equatorial or tropical peoples are shorter than peoples from colder climates. There are tall tribes in the Argentine south, as opposed to in Brazil.

Do these folks look mongoloid? Yeah somewhat but not at a level that could lend support to the idea that they're descended from mongoloids and the people below aren't. Actually Brazilids (my avatar) tend to look rather mongoloid. I had an Asian guy believe my avatar was an Asian kid.

But there isn't really another explanation, cuz' culturally speaking North and Central/South Americans were millions of light-years away from each other, so it doesn't seem plausible for them to come from the same tree. I seriously don't believe that the Taino came from the same place as the Maya or the Aztec, if you get my drift. The first two where on their way to becoming true empires, while the latter where still on the Stone Age.
It may be true that the Taino were less advanced than Mayas and Aztecs but so were many U.S. tribes. Most of them have nothing at the level of the Aztecs, even if Americans tend to romanticize their local tribes these days (nothing wrong with that, of course).
What about the Incas? You can't leave them out. They had a very complex civilization, probably at the level of Aztecs. If you take them into account the theory that N. American Indians were more advanced just crumbles. Also, you have a pretty bad phenotype mismatch between Central and North America. Most people would never consider Mayas (ultra stocky and short) to be phenotypically close to U.S. Indians.

Admixture wise, how significant is Spanish ancestry amongst Filipinos ?
We actually don't know exactly. The Stafford University did some DNA samples & they said 3.6% but some says it still not accurate because this study was conducted to only few people of more than 100 Million population to based that 3.6%

Mestizo looking is strong if both are descendant of Filipino Mestizo, I am not actually good with anthopology but If you notice from great-great grandparents to great-great grand children or grand children their looks started to change if they had other admixture. like the children of Leah Orosa or the Roces Great-Grand Children from the photos I posted.

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_iqvXKIUfKRM/SRu3kNrjtSI/AAAAAAAAA4Y/sjFrm1kSRgc/s1600/35.1918Enriquetaldanese+copy.jpg
1918 QUEEN OF THE MANILA CARNIVAL. Enriqueta Aldanese y Lasso de Vega, was born of mixed ancestry--Spanish, English, Filipino. She held three beauty titles in 4 years.
The Queen who reigned over the 1918 Manila Carnival was a distinguished Spanish-English mestiza who held a string of beauty titles even before her election. Enriqueta Aldanese had been the Queen of the 1st Cebu Carnival in 1914 and the following year, she became a “Dia España” muse in Zamboanga, an event mcuh celebrated by the Spanish community. This experience must have prepared her for a grander, more competitive pageant, for she eventually became the 1918 winner.
Manolita Delgado Barretto

another Spanish mestiza was selected to become the Queen of the 1916 Manila Carnival. She was 16 year old Manolita Barretto, born at the start of a new century, the elder of two daughters of Don Alberto Barretto of Zambales and Dna. Bonifacia Delgado of Bulacan. Don Alberto was a former Secretary of Finance and had an executive position as president of Cebu Portland Cement. Bonifacia, on the other hand, was also well-connected. Her brother, Francisco, was a Senator and later became an Ambassador to the United Nations. Manolita had a younger sister, Maring, six years her junior. The two attended the Assumption Convent from primary grade to high school.

Guia Gonzales Balmori was the 2nd known winner of the 12th National Beauty Contest of the Philippine Exposition (as the Manila Carnival was now known) with Kapampangan roots. She was born on 13 November 1920 to Joaquin Balmori of Bacolor, a well-known labor leader and Rosario Gonzales, originally from Pangasinan. (It is interesting to note that the Pangasinense Gonzaleses produced 2 beauty queens—Nieves Gonzales, Queen of the Pangasinan Carnival in 1919 whose grand daughter, Maria Margarita Moran became Miss Universe 1973). The Balmoris were of Spanish stock, and this showed clearly in Guia’s fair and finely chiselled mestiza features.

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-E8_sL1RpqDA/TaboQ_AUM1I/AAAAAAAAEHc/lDuIpCBy23w/s1600/FPJ%2Bcopy.jpg
The King or FPJ, as he is known to his millions of fans, was born on 20 August 1939, the son of Spanish mestizo Fernando “Nanding” Poe Sr.—himself an esteemed actor and a director of San Carlos, Pangasinan and Fil-American Elizabeth “Bessie” Gatbonton Kelley. Bessie was the product of the union of Engr. Arthur Kelley of Iowa and Marta Reyes Gatbonton, a Kapampangan from Candaba, Pampanga
Ronald Allan Poe was the second of six children; his siblings included Elizabeth, Andy (who, in real life was named Fernando Jr.), Genevieve, Fredrick and Evangeline. A half-brother is Conrad Poe, son of Fernando Sr. with Patricia Mijares, an actress.
One of the perks of being the son of a celebrated actor-director and producer were small roles in his father’s movies in the 1940s. Tragically, Poe Sr. died in October 1951, of rabies, leaving behind a devastated Bessie to raise her family singlehandedly. Ronnie finished his elementary schooling in 1953. He spent his high school years in San Sebastian College, Mapua and University of the East, but dropped out to help his mother support the family. It was just a matter of time that he joined the movie industry, working odd jobs as messenger boy and as a stuntman before becoming an actor. At age 14, billed as Fernando Poe Jr., he was launched in the movie “Anak ni Palaris”, which was not exactly a hit for Everlasting Pictures. But FPJ as a full-fledged actor, was on his way.
The movie that would make him a star was the 1957 youth-oriented film, “Lo’ Waist Gang”, from Premiere Productions. Just 18, he was paired with Corazon Rivas, and the movie started a national fashion craze for low-waisted pants. In 1961, he founded FPJ productions; subsequently, he formed other film companies like D'Lanor, JAFERE, and Rosas Productions.
In 1965, he played lead in the WWII movie, “The Ravagers”, considered as one of the most influential Filipino films. He would win the FAMAS Best Actor Award in 1967 for “Mga Alabok ng Lupa”, and he would repeat this feat with Asedillo (1971), "Durugin si Totoy Bato", "Umpisahan Mo, Tatapusin Ko"(1983), and Muslim Magnum .357 (1987). The 1960s were indeed, FPJ’s heyday, earning the title of “King of Philippine Movies” for his widely-popular action films. But perhaps, his biggest catch was another superstar of that era, Susan Roces (born Jesusa Sonora) whom he married in 968, three years after their first movie team-up entitled, “ Ang Daigdig Ko’y Ikaw”. They would star together in many movies that drew crowds and made money at the tills: “Bayan Ko, Lumaban Ka”, “Pilipinas Kong Mahal” (1965), “Zamboanga” (1966), “Langit at Lupa” (1967), “Sorrento” (1968), “Perlas ng Silangan” (1969), “Ikaw ang Lahat sa Akin” (1970), “Salaginto’t Salagubang” (1972), “Mahal, Saan Ka Nanggaling Kagabi” (1979), “No Retreat, No Surrender—si Kumander” (1987).
FPJ would also become the most highly paid talent for commercials, reprising his Panday character in San Miguel Beer ads that won raves and awards from the local advertising industry in the 80s. His later movie hits were “Kahit Konting Pagtingin”, “Dito sa Pitong Gatang”, and his last outing was with the billiard champ, Efren “Bata” Reyes (also a Kapampangan) in “Pakners”.
In 2004, FPJ announced his candidacy for presidency under the “Koalisyon ng Nagkakaisang Pilipino" (KNP) party. It was said that he was prevailed upon to run by his bosom friend, ex-president Joseph Estrada, against re-electionist candidate Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo who was installed as president after he was deposed. He lost in the controversy-marred election. In a weird twist of fate, both FPJ and GMA had Kapampangan and Pangasinan blood running in their veins (GMA's parents were from Lubao and Binalonan, respectivey).
Later, on December 11, FPJ suffered a stroke and lapsed into a coma while attending an after-work socials. He died three days later at age 65, leaving behind wife Susan, an adopted daughter, Mary Grace Poe-Llamanzares, current MTRCB Chair, and two other children from other relationships, Lovi Poe (an actress) and Ronnian Poe. He rests in the family plot at the North Cemetery in Manila. On 24 May 2006, FPJ was posthumously proclaimed as a National Artist
FPJ’s death mask, cast by National Artist Napoleon Abueva, can be seen at the Center for Kapampangan Studies at the Holy Angel University, alongside the death mask of another great Kapampangan, Ninoy Aquino Jr.

former Hollywood Actress Neile Adams

Born in the Philippines

NEILE, MCQUEEN'S QUEEN. Neile Adams (aka Ruby Neilam Arrastia y Salvador), actress-singer and dancer, with the action star of the 60s, the late Steve McQueen. Neile's father, Jose, hails from the prominent Arrastia-Salgado family of Lubao. Ca. mid 60s.
Minda Feliciano and Isabel Preysler are two of the more high-profile beauties with Kapampangan blood to have relationships with international celebrities. Angeles-born Minda (b. 1 June 1931) had a celebrated romance with English actor Michael Caine in the late ‘60s, while Isabel Preysler, whose family comes from Lubao, is well-known as the former wife of Spanish crooner, Julio Iglesias, and the mother of Enrique Iglesias.
But before them was Ruby Neilam Salvador Arrastia, who came to be known in Hollywood as the actress-singer-dancer Neile Adams—and the first wife of actor, Steve McQueen, the hottest new male star of Hollywood back in the early ‘60s.
Ruby was born on 10 July 1932, the child of Jose (Pepe) Arrastia of Lubao and Carmen Salvador. Carmen came from a family of stage and movie performers of mixed German-Spanish-Filipino blood; she was a professional dancer herself, while a more famous brother became the noted character actor Lou Salvador Sr., who was active in show business from the 1930s-60s.
Her father, Jose or Pepe, was the eldest son of Valentin Roncal Arrastia, a Basque Spaniard, with Lubao native Francisca Serrano Salgado. Jose’s parents were the most prominent hacienderos of the town, and he grew up living the privileged life, together with siblings Carmen, Justo, Benito, Crispula, Juanita, Esteban, Francisco and Esteban. When he came of age, Pepe married Teodorica (Kika) Reinares of Orion, Bataan, with whom he had two children, Mercedes and Beatriz. A relationship with Carmen resulted in a third daughter—Ruby.
She spent her growing-up years in Manila, until the second World War. She and her family were incarcerated by the Japanese for 18 months, and after the War, she was whisked away to the U.S. The young Ruby took dancing lessons in school, and her terpsichorean skills, obviously inherited from her mother was soon being noticed in auditions. The pert and pretty Neile, as she now called herself, found herself being cast in shows and musicals, and one of her early appearances was in “Pajama Game”, staged at the Carnegie Hall. From the stage, she moved on to bit appearances on screen and on TV, with credits in the 1952 movie, “Grubstake” and as Patsy St. Claire in “This Could Be The Night” (1957).
Shortly after a dance rehearsal, Neile Adams met an up-and-coming young actor and a former member of the Marine Corps, Steve McQueen. McQueen had been bumming around in New York hoping to get an education, but he found his calling at the Actors Studio and decided to be a movie star. He found himself doing bit roles, playing second fiddle to Paul Newman’s “Somebody Up There Likes Me” and Ben Gazzara’s “A Hatful of Rain”, both produced in 1956. Upon Neile’s insistence, Steve accepted a role as a minister in the low budget movie “The Blob” . It proved to be one of the most successful films in 1957. That same year, Neile Adams and Steve McQueen were married and settled in Laurel Canyon, and then to Nichols Canyon, where they raised two children, Terry and Chad.
It was said that Adams’ influence with agents jumpstarted McQueen’s stellar career in Hollywood. Husband and wife appeared in a memorable episode in “Alfred Hitchcock Presents”. Separately, Neile accepted a recurring role in the TV series “Five Fingers” as Rita Juan in 1960, and went on to guest star in top TV shows like “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.”, “Love American Style” and “Bob Hope Show”. But Steve’s career was on a major upswing: he was cast for 3 season in the hit TV series “Wanted: Dead or Alive”, and in 1960, the action film “Magnificent Seven” confirmed his big-screen star status.
In 1963, the McQueens built a grand retreat house in Brentwood with all the trappings of Hollywood glitz and glamour. They owned a fleet of cars like a Mustang, Porsche, Ferrari and Jaguar. Their Mediterranean stone house, set near the ocean side, could pass for a French castle, what with its huge stone courtyard, an expansive terrace and high oak gates.
The McQueens spent many years together in their fabulous enclave set in the hills of Brentwood. Steve’s insistence that Neile stop working started a friction that would culminate in 1972, when he made “The Getaway” in 1972 and fell in love with co-star Ali McGraw. Neile and Steve were divorced that same year. Steve married Ali in 1973, but that too, ended in divorce. He next married model Barbara Minty.
As for Neile, she continued to pursue her love for acting, frequently making guest appearances (sometimes billed as Neile McQueen) throughout the 70s and 80s in such popular shows as “The Bionic Woman”, “ The Rockford Files”, “Fantasy Island”, “Vega$” and “Hotel”. In 1986, she wrote “My Husband, My Friend”, a biography of her husband Steve, who, six years before, had died of cancer.
Neile Adams, now married to financial consultant Alvin Toffel, has expanded her interests to include horse-race breeding. She has also recently done a series of one-woman cabaret shows. Her son Chad as well as grandson Steven McQueen, are both actors. Neile’s half-sisters are also personalities in their own right. Mercedes (Mercy) Arrastia-Tuason is our Philippine ambassador to the Vatican, while Beatriz (Betty) married Carlos Preysler, the parents of the international socialite, Isabel Preysler.

Mega's 10 Women to Watch for 2008: Ines Cabarrus
Few women can boast French wines that still bears their family’s name. Ines Cabarrus is one.
Ines explains: “My family are descendents of a French princess named Teresa. She was married to the prince of Chimay of Belgium [François-Joseph-Philippe in1843] right after the French revolution and was best friends with Josephine. She was rumored to have introduced [Napoleon] Bonaparte to her. She escaped the revolution by marrying this Belgian prince. One of her descendants went into the wine business and had a vineyard in the Bordeaux area, in Médoc. They have the wine Château Pontoise Cabarrus.”
History records that Juana Maria Ignazia Teresa Cabarrús was also known as Madame Thérésa Tallien and ‘Our Lady of Thermidor’ for having saved herself and many others from the guillotine with her persuasion and pedigree. Born in Carabanchel Alto, Madrid, Spain in 1773, she is the daughter of François Cabarrús, , an advocate of Enlightenment reforms, governor of the Royal Bank of Spain during the reign of King Charles III, finance minister under Joseph Bonaparte and founder of a company to facilitate the galleon trade—the Real Compañia de Filipinas—hence the Cabarrús connection to the Philippines. (Today, his portrait still hangs in the Bank of Spain building in Madrid, a painting by his dear friend, the great Francisco Goya.)
Even more interesting than her heritage is the history Ines is making. A sommelier with an International Diploma in Hospitality Management from the William Blue International Hotel Management School in Sydney, Australia, she currently teaches Beverage Management and Wine Appreciation at the posh Enderun Colleges. Teaching while drinking—how cool is that? More substantially, she is helping building the foundation of a generation of hoteliers, restaurateurs, chefs, sommeliers, gourmets and gourmands.
Ines has a talent for writing and she knows what she talking about. She is one of MEGA Magazine’s contributing writers for food features and has launched her first book, “Manila’s Best Kept Restaurant Secrets” a must read for the epicurean. But by far, the book’s biggest revelation is its co-author. The word is out; with wine, wit and history running through her veins, Ines Cabarrus is Manila’s best-kept secret no more.

I actually thought Ana Roces is Spanish Mestizo descent
based from her TV screen name but her real middle name is Gutierrez
from her mom and Adad from her dad. Her real name is Marinella Gutierrez Adad
her father is Lebanese mixed not sure if she has Spanish mixed though although her looks sometimes mistaken as one of the Spanish Mestizo descendant because of her
stage screen name lol.

Mario Montenegro is her grandfather (Roger Collin Macalalag in real life)
& Letty Alonso her grandmother (Leticia Johnson Arrastia-Salgado) from Lubao, Pampanga
She's related to Isabel Preysler. her grandmother and Beatriz Arrastia are cousins
Letty was born as Leticia Arrastia y Johnson in 1932, the daughter of Esteban Arrastia y Salgado and Rosalia Johnson y Espinosa. Esteban’s father, Valentin Roncal Arrastia, was a Basque from the Navarra region in Spain. He had settled in Lubao to seek his fortune, and it was here that he met and married local girl, Francisca.
It was while with LVN that Letty met a fellow ‘artista’, the handsome Roger Collin Macalalag who was known to thousands of movie fans as Mario Montenegro (b. 1928/d.1988) . Born to a Filipino father and a French mother, Mario was a former U.P. student who had joined the Hunters ROTC Guerilla unit during the war. Discovered for the movies after the war, he had been cast in the World War II drama, “Capas”, filmed in 1949. He found fame in LVN costumed epics and historical films.
After their marriage, Letty retired from the movies to raise her children with Mario. A daughter, Honeylet, was a popular commercial model and occasional film actress in the early ‘80s. Honeylet’s own daughter, Valeen Montenegro Vicente, is also a budding young actress today.

Mario Herrero O' Hara
http://s3.amazonaws.com/auteurs_production/images/cast_member/71202/original.jpg?1331842656
He was born in Zamboanga City on April 20, 1946. His mother was Basilisa Herrero, who has Spanish lineage and hails from Ozamis Oriental. His father Jaime O'Hara was the son of Irish-American Thomasite; Jaime was a member of the UP Dramatic club. Mario had eight brothers and three sisters. Because Jaime was the son of an American citizen, Mario's family was eligible to apply for US citizenship; however, Mario rejected any such offers.[1]
Originally from Zamboanga City, the O'Haras moved to a middle-class community in Pasay City; behind their house was a slum area, and Mario claimed that some of his works were inspired by real-life incidents that happened in this area. He took up Chemical Engineering at the Adamson University but at the same time also auditioned for a radio show sponsored by Procter and Gamble. In 1963, at the age of 17, Mario stopped attending classes to focus on his work in radio drama with the Manila Broadcasting Company (MBC) and DZRH

Filipina Singer in Germany
Maloy Lozanes (Maria Lucia Moreno Lozañes in real life)
http://www.eurokdj.com/images/trombino/maloy.jpg
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8BA5Cq4VqM
Maria Lucia Moreno Lozañes, or simply MaLoY, was the 2nd female singer of the German Eurodance act Captain Jack from 1999 until 2000. After taking a long break from the record music scene, she's now back with the German DJ act Shaun Baker since 2007.
Coming from a family of musicians, MaLoY is the only daughter of Efren Lozañes, a multi-instrumentalist and vocalist who traveled the world most of the time, and Gloria Moreno Lozañes (deceased), a plain housewife with a soothing voice but didn't sing professionally. She has two brothers: Antonio Lozañes, a keyboardist; and Michael Lozañes, who decided to be a Medical Technologist instead of pursuing a singing career himself. Born and raised in Manila, Philippines, where music and entertainment are a big part of the Filipino culture, MaLoY had never dreamt of a singing career. She was almost always in the hospital due to her asthma but had managed to always graduate with flying colors and considered Chemistry, Physics and Algebra as her favorite subjects. Like most Filipino artists, singing contests had been a part of Maloy's childhood, sometimes singing against her brother Michael from one amateur singing contest to another. It wasn't until before she finished High School that she thought of pursuing a singing career. She joined several Filipino show bands which led her touring Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia until her father, who was in Germany at that time since the late 1970s with an all-Filipino funk & soul band called "PLEASE", decided to get her and her brother, Tony, to join his German band in 1993.

The First Filipino Envoy to Argentina

Marilu (center) with her father, Manuel Escudero. I think that's her
big sister next to her or probably her mom.
The envoy’s daughter
BUENOS AIRES CITY, Argentina—Marilu Escudero de Comas can still recall the day she stepped out of the ship that took her family to a land thousands of miles from where she was born. It was 1949 in Argentina, where her father was sent after establishing the first Philippine diplomatic post in Spain.
The Manila-born girl, who studied in Assumption and had just experienced the Second World War, was enthralled.
“It was an incredible experience,” says Marilu, now 84. “In school, we learned about Argentina. It was something in my imagination.”
Marilu was in her 20′s when her father, Manuel Escudero, became the Philippines’ first envoy in Buenos Aires. At that time, she says no Filipinos other than the members of an orchestra from the Philippines lived in Argentina
Adjusting to a new country and culture wasn’t hard for Marilu. After all, she knew how to speak Spanish, the language of the Philippines’ and Argentina’s colonizer. She also spoke English aside from Tagalog and Bikol, her parents’ native tongue.
One thing shocked her about Argentina when she first arrived, however.
“Because we came from being in a war, we knew what it was to have no food. You wanted to buy, you didn’t have any,” she says. “When we were here in Argentina, you would walk on the sidewalk, you would see the basura, there were whole bags of meat! Tons of spaghetti!”
Marilu says her mother once reprimanded their cook who threw leftovers away.
“I will not throw even a morsel of food. If you’ve gone hungry at one point in your life, you never again will throw food ever,” she says.
Marilu married an Argentinian—among the world’s most romantic men, she says—and has since built her life and career here. She worked at the advertising and public relations departments of the now-defunct Pan American Airways before being its top secretary.
One of the people she met was Argentina’s first lady then, Eva Peron. Evita was known for the homes she built for poor children through a foundation she created. Following protocol, diplomats’ wives or daughters had to visit those homes with her.
“She used to work at the Ministerio de Trabajo (Ministry of Labor). She’d be there until 4 in the morning. She was the hardest working person,” Marilu says.
Aside from meeting Evita, Marilu has witnessed Argentina’s history firsthand, while keeping herself updated with the Philippines’ own.
Once in a while, she would also travel to the Philippines—for free, because she was working for an airline.
Although Marilu has spent most of her life in Argentina, she remains a Filipino citizen.
“I never considered that I had to change my nationality,” she says. “And I never felt I had to. There was no reason for me.”
Marilu, on the other hand, makes it a point to go home every two years. During her last vacation from November 2011 to March this year, she swam with whale sharks in Donsol.
More than anything, it’s the people’s warmth that they always miss about the Philippines.
“The way you live in the Philippines, that’s what I miss most. There, even if it’s not Christmas, you always have someone coming to your house. You go to somebody’s house. There’s beer in the afternoon,” Marilu says.
They may be thousands of miles away, but nothing will replace home for them

Now, Marilu 84 yrs old.

Filipino-Spanish
Ramon Fernandez Cuervo Jr.
http://en.wikipilipinas.org/images/thumb/4/4e/Scan.jpg/432px-Scan.jpg
His parents were Ramon Fernandez-Cuervo y Raya and Marina De la Grana, both from Asturias, Spain. His father was born in Oviedo and his mother was born in Pravia, Asturias. His grandfather, Dr. Rudecindo Fernandez-Cuervo, was a famous doctor in the University of Santo Tomas before the Philippine revolution. He was also the first lay director of the Hospicio de San Jose.
Born in Manila on January 7, 1927, Cuervo Jr. was the first male child born in the then new Hospital de Santiago in Makati. He grew up in Ermita, Manila before the second world war. He studied in San Juan de Letran from elementary to college, where he graduated high school valedictorian, and as a working student earned a degree in commerce in 1948. The Cuervo family moved to the Hospicio de San Jose after their house was burned during the liberation of Manila in 1945.
He first worked as an accountant for Everett Steamship Company after graduation. The young Cuervo met Montserrat Calero when they were introduced by Harry Stonehill, an American soldier, in 1947. They both shared an interest in music and dancing the boogie woogie. She was born in Manila and her mother was Mercedes Zurrunero y Garcia, a Spanish mestiza from Bislig, Surigao del Sur. They were married on March 19, 1949, when she was just 19 years old.
In 1949 he worked for his father-in-law realtor Federico "Pipo" Calero Jr. who founded a real estate company called F. Calero & Co., where he learned the rudiments of real estate. Cuervo Jr. and Montserrat had 13 children: Ma. Concepcion (Chitina), Maria Teresa (Marite), Ramon Antonio III, Federico Jose (Fico), Fernando Rafael, Francisco (Paching), Maria Marina Mercedes (Mariita), Luis, Javier, Maria del Carmen (Maricar), Maria Antonia (Maitoni), Montserrat (Montse Jr.) and Jose Maria Ramon (Josemari).
After seen this interesting thread I have some questions to Filipinos people:
1.How Spaniards (from Spain) are perceived in your country as a general rule?. You have good opinion on them?. You like them?. You like them to visit you as tourists or live in your country?.
2.If someone is from Spain and goes to Filipinas, will they have a high rate of success among the opposite gender?. I mean, will women have a better think about a Spaniard than say a French?.
Just for curiosity because we dont know much of Filipinas in Spain and it seems the legacy is higher than I expected.

Some are descendants of the Peninsulares or the Spaniards born in the Philippines or the 1st people that they called "Filipinos" and the Illustrados mestizos until it became nationality for everyone who are born in the Philippines, Dr. Jose Rizal was the 1st native born in the Philippines of mixed Spanish, Chinese and Tagalog to be called "Filipinos", they used to call him Indio during the Spanish regime. Some of them chose to stay in the Philippines & they are proud to call themselves Filipinos. They treated the Philippines as their native homeland specially if they are born & raised in the Philippines, the Filipino Mestizos they have native blood so we cannot just ignore our people as not one of us. As long as they have good intention to visit the Philippines or stay in the Philippines it's all okay with me.
Philippines is always welcome to tourist and visitors :) of any nationality.

But as they were some Historic relationships, how Spaniards or tourist from Spain, or Spaniards that want to live in Filipinas are treated?.
Are they well considered in general?. Better than other nationality for historical reasons or equal to any other. People there have curiosity over Spaniards or over Spain or nothing at all.

Xavier Pardo de Tavera Loinaz
Don Xavier Pardo de Tavera Loinaz was the legendary President & CEO
of the Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) until his retirement in 2006.
He was born and raised in Manila. He belongs to the noble Spanish mestizo Pardo de Tavera
and Basque mestizo Loinaz clans in the Philippines.
Don Xavier Pardo de Tavera Loinaz is a son of Don Jose Loinaz
and the former Secretary of the Department of Social Welfare and
Development Dr. Mita "Mamita" Lopez-Manzano Pardo de Tavera-Loinaz

Dr. Mita Pardo de Tavera-Loinaz
'Mamita', Doctor, Activist, Dies
Former social welfare secretary Mita Pardo de Tavera passed away last Tuesday after a battle with leukemia. She was 87.
Interment will be on Friday after a Mass at 1 p.m. at the Santuario de San Antonio in Forbes Park, Makati City.
Born to the illustrious Pardo de Tavera clan, “Mamita,” as she was called by people close to her, devoted more than six decades of her life to serving the needy.
After graduating from the University of the Philippines in 1944 with a degree in medicine, Pardo de Tavera worked at the Philippine Tuberculosis Society. It was an eye-opener for her. In a 1986 interview with Woman Today, she said, “That’s where I saw the imbalances, the wide disparity between the poor and the better-to-do.”
Pardo de Tavera later became executive secretary of the PTS. She led the organization until 1974.
In the 1970s, she founded the Alay Kapwa Kilusang Pangkalusugan (Akap), an organization of health workers volunteering to teach preventive medicine to poor communities nationwide.
Akap has educated thousands of residents of impoverished communities on ailments like tuberculosis, diarrhea, colds, flu, dengue and malaria.
Even when she was past retirement age, Pardo de Tavera participated actively in street protests against Ferdinand Marcos’ dictatorship.
After Marcos’ ouster, she served as social welfare secretary in the Aquino administration.
She also became chair of the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office and president of the Philippine Cancer Society.
In 1991, the PCS launched the Hospice Home Care Program, which provided psycho-emotional and spiritual support to the terminally ill. Pardo de Tavera focused on cancer-stricken persons given short-term survival by their doctors.
For her “outstanding community services and medical ethics,” the Philippine Medical Association gave Pardo de Tavera the Dr. Jose P. Rizal Award in 1994.

Her Heart is with the People
Good deeds have a way of spreading out, so they say. In the case of Mita Pardo de Tavera, who obtained her degree in medicine from the University of the Philippines and her post-graduate studies at Bellevue Hospital in New York, it doesn't really matter whether you're a leftist or a rightist.
In commemoration of the 21st anniversary of the People Power Revolution, we wish to share with our readers an interview we did with one of the stalwarts who fought the old regime and a so-called player of the peaceful revolution in the now historic EDSA Shrine. The interview was done a month after Cory Aquino became President of the Philippines and was published in the April 9, 1986 issue of Woman Today.
For Mita Pardo de Tavera, the transition from street parliamentarian to government minister has been most unexpected, albeit not a few considered her appointment a shot in the arm for the ministry with the mostest (work), but with the smallest (budget) - the Ministry of Social Services and Development.
Only very recently, charges of traffic obstruction filed against her and six other GABRIELA members who staged a picket last year somewhere along United Nations Avenue have been dropped. Had it not been for the non-violent four-day February revolt, Mita Pardo de Tavera's noble and a gallant cause could have been curtailed.
'Not that such petty harassment or intimidation can faze the likes of this grey-haired, 66-year-old grandmother who traces her roots to the ilustrados of yore and whose strict Spanish upbringing instilled in her the strength of spirit and an upright sense of values.
The Mita Pardo de Tavera, whom people refer to in the same breath as "leftist" (because of her close association with the poor and the underprivileged, and her involvement in various cause-oriented feminist movements) and "elitist" (her high school years were spent at the Assumption Convent and she maintains a home address at opulent Dasmariñas Village), strikes a new acquaintance as neither of both. A couple of weeks after she assumed her new post, she still hasn't gotten used to the powerful connotation her official title brings - The Honorable Minister.
Although steeped in aristocratic breeding, Pardo de Tavera nonetheless has endeared herself to those whom she has been helping for the last 30 years without a hint of hesitation or thought of remuneration. Call it dedication or an innate compassion for people, Pardo de Tavera has seen it all.
"Have you actually seen a third-degree malnourished child? We call that a kwashiorkor case in medical parlance. You might have thought such cases are rampant only in Ethiopia or in the African region, but goodness, they're right here in our country," explains Pardo de Tavera, who loves to call her domain the Ministry of the People "because we deal with people, being the social welfare arm of the government."
Although this is her first stint as a public official, she claims familiarity in dealing with the bureaucracy because of her work with the Philippine Tuberculosis Society since 1945, which is a quasi-government organization. When she left in 1974 because of internal politics, she was the executive secretary.
Her 30 years spent with the tuberculars at the Quezon Institute constitute the "social laboratory" which Pardo de Tavera speaks of to this day. She expounds, "That's where I saw the imbalances, the wide disparity between the poor and the better-to-do. It was a real eye-opener for me."
At that time, nobody ventured into community-based health programs, much less tread the path of tuberculars, then and now considered as outcasts because of the social implications of the disease. The non-conformist that she has always been, Pardo de Tavera plunged right away into community-based programs, making her one of the pioneers in the world in promoting primary health care. Before long, as her long work hours immersed her deeper into the sad plight of the poor and underprivileged, Pardo de Tavera expanded her concerns by denouncing a dictatorial regime, marching in the streets, always on the forefront of women's groups that were promptly labeled as oppositionist.
She draws some similarity from the lives of her forebears, her grandfather Dr. Trinidad Pardo de Tavera and her great-grandfather lawyer Joaquin Pardo de Tavera. "My great-grandfather was the lawyer of the three Spanish friars, Gomez, Burgos, and Zamora. They didn't kill him like what they did to the priests, but he was jailed because he fought for human rights. They incarcerated him in Fort Santiago, then they sent him to Marianas Islands (now Guam) which was then the devil's island for prisoners because they tortured you. My grandfather was a close friend of Jose Rizal. They were only three years apart in age. They were both physicians and both shared the same anti-Spain sentiments."
On her first day of work as Social Services Minister, Pardo de Tavera gathered all the employees, definitely not to show them who's boss, but rather to get acquainted with them. Clad in a simple white top and printed cotton skirt, her hair tied neatly in a bun, the new Minister appeared more like a doting grandmother calling in the kids for dinner.
Actually a real-life grandmother 11 times over, the good-natured Minister confesses to being not the prototype of a grandmother. "They'd come looking for me, but I'm never home," she chimes in and adds, "but I assure you, they won't ever think of looking for me in the beauty parlor."
Indeed, good deeds have a way of spreading out, so they say. In the case of Mita Pardo de Tavera, who obtained her degree in medicine from the University of the Philippines and her post-graduate studies at Bellevue Hospital in New York, it doesn't really matter whether you're a leftist or a rightist.

Mita Pardo de Tavera on Juan Luna
Former social welfare secretary Mita Pardo de Tavera passed away Tuesday after a lingering illness. She lived a long and meaningful life, caring for people not as a bureaucrat but more as a physician. And this was clear at her wake which was bursting with flowers and people who had come from all over to pay their respects.
Old photos made me see beyond the gentle, silver-haired grandmother I first met in 1988 when I was doing research on the soured relations between Juan Luna and the Pardo de Tavera family. How did a privileged and obviously pampered little girl grow into a woman who cared for the sick and the needy?
I sat in conversation with Mamita, and it didn’t feel like I was speaking to a Cabinet secretary. It was more like listening to my grandmother narrating a time and place before mine. Normally quiet and soft-spoken, Mamita’s voice would change drastically when she spoke of two Ilocanos: Ferdinand Marcos and Juan Luna.
I dug up the transcript of the first of several conversations I had with her over the years and decided to share them here, since Mamita passed away quietly on the eve of Juan Luna’s 150th birthday.
There is a recent opera on Luna with a libretto by Fides Cuyugan Asensio whose dramatic parts were allegedly toned down because Mita was watching. The same for Virginia Moreno’s play on Luna that is legendary because it has never been staged, allegedly because Mita would not be pleased.
Come to think of it, Mita attended every lecture on Luna I gave except the last one because she was then in the intensive care unit. I would open the lecture by warning her that she would not like or agree with everything I said but there was nothing personal in the presentation; I was just telling the story based on my sources. She never made a fuss, so I wonder why the librettist and the playwright felt censored when they have artistic license that historians do not have.
For Mita, the Luna tragedy is rooted in family honor and it was for this reason that she granted interviews that often began this way:
“I’ve often read that in a fit of jealousy, Luna killed his wife and mother-in-law, but until it was insinuated that it was for unfaithfulness, I had to say what I know of the affair. They [Juliana Gorricho, Paz Pardo de Tavera and little Andres ‘Luling’ Luna] were going down the stairs of the house and they did not tell Luna that they were abandoning him because he was violent. Very violent, like his brother [Antonio] the general who was a killer, [had a] killer’s instinct, and so they were also afraid of this Juan Luna because he also had this killer’s instinct. They were leaving the house, the two brothers Trinidad and Felix, with [their lawyer] Regidor were waiting across the street. When the three were going down the stairs, Luna flew into a rage and tried to stop them, and then he shot them. My grandfather Trinidad heard the shots, and so with Felix and Regidor they came to the rescue, running up the stairs. My grandfather, who was leading the group was shot in the shoulder.”
My research shows that the women locked themselves inside an upstairs bathroom and shouted for help from the window. As the brothers entered the compound to help, Luna fired from the house and hit Felix in the chest, who was then dragged out to safety by Trinidad and Regidor. The police were summoned. More shots were heard from the bathroom, and when the smoke cleared, Juliana Gorricho lay dead and Paz was mortally wounded.
While the details, as Mamita related them, are not very accurate, she provided the social context for the tragedy that, like the recent Glorietta blast, is best described as an accident waiting to happen. Mita continued:
“This was the house of the Pardo de Taveras because the Lunas were -- I don’t want to sound class conscious -- but everyone knows that the Lunas were a simple family that couldn’t have had the opulence of living in Paris at the time. That was the house of the mother-in-law, who was a Gorricho, very wealthy. And that was what I think contributed to [Luna’s] total deterioration because it was parang inferiority complex. Can you imagine living out of your mother-in-law? Pagkatapos you feel inferior and then your wife is going to leave because you are violent. That’s it, he was really very violent.”
Then as now, the scene of this tragedy is a posh residence in a posh Paris district. It is a real house, not an apartment building. Luna was indeed living in his mother-in-law’s home.
Then there is the release of Luna after the trial. We are often told that Luna was acquitted because French courts recognized this as a “crime of passion.” Mita had a different angle:
“You know why Luna was exonerated? On the basis of a provision in French law which says that a native people, very primitive people, have this tendency to run amok. And so it was considered that since he came from a primitive race, running amok was pardonable because that is a trait of primitive people. So ‘nainsulto pa ang mga Pilipino, nainsulto pa tayo’ [Filipinos were insulted, we were insulted], as if we were monkeys hanging on our tails.”
Interviews with descendants of heroes can be tricky and must be balanced with historical sources, but what has always fascinated me is the way history remains alive with these people. To them it is so real the events could have happened only yesterday.

But as they were some Historic relationships, how Spaniards or tourist from Spain, or Spaniards that want to live in Filipinas are treated?.
Are they well considered in general?. Better than other nationality for historical reasons or equal to any other. People there have curiosity over Spaniards or over Spain or nothing at all.
Naturalized Filipino of Spanish ancestry who chose to stay in the Philippines, He is actually a famous painter. His name is Juvenal Sanso.
http://i45.tinypic.com/jfao2g.jpg
Juvenal Sansó
Spanish by birth, Filipino at heart
Juvenal Sanso was born in Reus, Catalonia, Spain in 1929, but moved to Manila five years later, where his family established El Arte Espanol, a wrought-iron business. The young Sanso spent his boyhood in Paco and had many wonderful memories of halcyon days swimming in the Pasig River and family outings to Montalban in Rizal.
The blond and blue-eyed young Sanso learned to speak Tagalog fluently and freely mingled with boys his age, forming many lasting friendships, with Henry Sy, foremost among them.
It was an unusual childhood for Sanso but as Nick Joaquin said “There were other things to remind him that he and his family were ‘different’. They didn't go to church; not only that, the children didn't go to school either. They were tutored at home. And though there were other Spaniards in town, the Sansos did not associate with them, being anti-Fascist.”
When World War II broke out in the Philippines, the wrought-iron business of the elder Sanso was ruined having refused to work for the Japanese war effort. The elder Sanso then embarked on an entirely new business: he constructed horse-drawn buggies in the “dokar” style using car tires for wheels. When Liberation came, he plied the streets in a home-made bus with his son Juvenal serving as conductor on the Santa Ana to Quiapo route.
The war years left scars on the sensitive artist’s soul. From his idyllic childhood in Manila, he experienced privations and came upon the ruins of his beloved city devastated by bombs. “I had a very traumatic experience as a result of the War. Our fortunes were destroyed, my family had to flee back and forth between Montalban and Sta. Ana, and I myself suffered severe injuries when an artillery shell blasted through our house during the liberation. I’m still deaf in one ear because of that,” Sanso said.
This resulted in Sanso’s Black Period when he painted exclusively in black and white with gruesome imagery and hideously deformed beggars.
Sanso’s first art teacher was Alejandro Celis. His father thought that such artistic training would be of great help when Juvenal took over the wrought iron business. But it was not to be so. The young man realized that his true vocation was not in wrought iron but in painting. He was able to persuade his father to enroll him as a special student at the University of the Philippines School of Fine Arts. It was to be his only experience of formal schooling. At the UP School of Fine Arts he studied under such professors as Fernando Amorsolo, Dominador Castaneda and Ireneo Miranda then he took special classes at the UST.
The years 1950 and 1951 were turning points for the talented young artist. During the first year, his work “Incubus” won first prize in the watercolor category of the Art Association of the Philippines competition. He repeated the feat the following year with “Sorcerer” which won first prize in the AAP oil category. During the same year, he also won third place in the Shell Art Competition and left for further studies in Europe at the Academia di Belle Arti in Rome after establishing residence in Paris. He also enrolled at L' Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux-Arts.
Sanso held his first one-man show in Paris then came home in 1957 for his first local one-man show at the Philippine Art Gallery. He has since continued traveling extensively and holding solo exhibitions in Italy, the United States, England and Mexico and coming back to Manila regularly for occasional shows. In 1964, another significant year, his works "Leuers " was adjudged Print of the Year by the Cleveland Museum of Art, giving Sanso the rank of previous winners like Henri Matisse and Salvador Dali. In the same year he held a major all-media one-man show at the Cleveland Museum of Art, as well as one-man shows at the prestigious Philadelphia Print Club and New York's Weyhe Gallery.
In 1966, Sanso had a 20-year retrospective show at the Makati Commercial Center. In 1974, a 25-year retrospective was held at the Cultural Center of the Philippines. In 1976, in commemoration of the Manila World Bank and the International Monetary Fund summit meetings, Sanso held a one-man retrospective of some 1,000 works, released a portfolio of 10 lithographs on Philippine subjects, and was the subject of a book written by Alejandro Roces. In 1989, he made a milestone by doing six simultaneous exhibits in Manila at the Metropolitan Museum, the Lopez Museum, the Ayala Museum, the Center Cultural de Espaha, the Alliance Francaise and the Finale Art File.
In 2009, he marked his 80th birthday with a series of shows in some of the premier venues in the county such as Galerie Stephanie, Mandarin Oriental Suites in Gateway Mall in Cubao, and at the SM Art Center.
The angst-filled grotesqueries of his Black Period which evolved into stunning surreal bouquets of faces and heads, were eventually replaced by genuine blooms which still appear, however, in the most striking shades of red, green, orange and blue. His catharsis came in the mid fifties when he spent summers vacationing in the Brittany coast with the Le Dantec family, a lifelong friendship that was a balm to his soul.
Today, he paints in watercolor, acrylic and his favored ink and dry brush medium. He also continues to produce fine etchings in a very dynamic, strong-lined style. Sanso remains an innovative, respected and highly in demand artist today.
As a way of giving back to the art community in his adopted country, Juvenal Sanso has played a significant role in encouraging young Filipino artists to excel in their field. From 2008 to 2009, he served as artist in residence for the Art Interaction program of the Shell National Students Art Competition.
After 50 years of living in Paris, in 2008, Juvenal Sanso decided to come home and establish permanent residence in his beloved Manila.
Major Awards and Distinctions:
Juvenal Sanso has won critical acclaim all over the world but of all the accolades he has chalked up in his illustrious career, he cherishes most the awards given by the three countries that have been home to him. Among these are:
The Presidential Medal of Merit, awarded by President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo to Juvenal Sanso on May 20, 2006. It is the most prestigious award given by the Philippine government to an artist for his invaluable contribution to visual arts in the country.
The Distinguished Cross of Isabela was awarded to Sanso by the Spanish King Juan Carlos on January 8, 2007. The award was given in recognition of his exemplary work across national boundaries. It is akin to a knighthood or to the Member of the British Empire given by the Queen of England.
The Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres was conferred on Sanso on February 26, 2008 by the Ministry of Culture and Communications of the Republic of France.

Spanish National Maria Dolores Pita came to the Philippines since 1959
From a retired teacher to volunteer teacher street children, Spanish national Maria Dolores Pita, more known as Teacher Maruxa Pita, founded the Makabata School Foundation, a non-profit school foundation.
At 81, Teacher Maruxa is still active and hands-on in managing her school. It was in 1959 when she first arrived in the Philippines. The association where she belonged to back then founded the Institucion Teresiana School (presently known as Saint Pedro Poveda College).
In 1995, she retired from her school and started to teach poor children for free. The lessons were conducted inside some classrooms at Poveda.
“I am a member of Theresian association that is a secular association and they were preparing to open the school Poveda and they asked me to come to work in that school. For me, the worst consequence of poverty is not hunger, is not thirst, it is ignorance,”,Teacher Mruxa said in the TV5 feature “Reaksyon.”
Teacher Maruxa’s foundation was set up in 1996. From a simple feeding program, it led to the creation of Makabata School, which provides quality formal education coupled with Christian values to street children, less fortunate kids and out-of-school youths. Through the help of friends, Makabata School formally had its building erected in 2001. It is currently located at Armel Subdivision in Pasig City.
Her selfless efforts have been recognized by various local and international award-giving bodies. Last 2011, the Yuchengco Group of Companies awarded her “The Blessed Teresa of Calcutta Award” for setting a good example to the Filipino youth. Also, she received the PeopleAsia’s “People’s Choice Awardee” in January 2012.
In her humble manner, Teacher Maruxa says she appreciates all the awards given to her if only because it will help recognize the school and get more support from philanthropic souls. “Well I appreciated it because I always hope that this can be beneficial for Makabata,” Teacher Maruxa said.

Filipino Mestizos (Spanish) descendant
Iñigo Elizalde
http://i45.tinypic.com/11c87r8.jpg
At the recent New York International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF), visitors to the Iñigo Elizalde Rugs booth kept guessing the provenance of the designs and the owner.
The rug patterns were abstractions from an aerial map of Roxas Boulevard and downtown Manila. They also came from woven geometry typical of that of the upland tribes and close-ups of spotted stingray skin and conus shells sighted on a surf camp north of Surigao del Norte.
Westerners thought the patterns were Mexican. They were surprised to learn that the designs were references to the Philippines, the artist’s birthplace.
“I’m an undercover Pinoy,” Elizalde, a Spanish-Filipino, told us.
The New York-based designer launched his capsule collection for W17 home store and is looking for more sources of material and inspiration for his carpets in the Philippines.
Iñigo Elizalde Rugs is known for unusual designs which Elizalde based on photographs of nature and textures culled from the designer’s travels. Woven from natural fibers, such as undyed wool, silk, banana and bamboo, they’re also known for high-quality craftsmanship done by weavers in the Philippines, Nepal and India. The metallic part is made from recycled lurex.
As a custom house, Iñigo Elizalde Rugs can do anything for the client even if the design comes from a Pantone color chip or a tie.

I guess the "de Sequera" family is a good example of
balance mixture of Filipino Mestizo or Spanish Mestizo.
The family genealogy of the "de Sequera", they are descendants of Christopher Columbus
http://www.desequera.org/de_Sequera/Welcome.html
This family has noble roots; titles include "Conde de la Puebla de Portugal," "Conde de Trigona," "Señor de Sequera" and belongs to the ducal house of Veragua. (The first Duke of Veragua was Christopher Columbus' son, Diego)
The family has strong military roots; there have been three field marshals, seven generals, three colonels and several captains. Some were fleet commanders & explorers during the exploration by Spain and Portugal of the East Indies; Diego López de Sequeira discovered Malacca for Portugal and sat as the representative of the King of Portugal at the signing of the Treaty of Tordesillas (this treaty between Spain & Portugal established the demarcation line dividing the world between those two countries).
Most recently family members have held the posts of governors of the provinces of Madrid, Barcelona and San Sebastián. There has been one Patriarch of Constantinople (Felipe Colón de Portugal). Of course, the most famous of our ancestors was Cristóbal Colón, better known in English as Christopher Columbus.
The line of de Sequera became connected to the de Portugal and Colón lines when Julián de Sequera married María Atocha Colón de Portugal y Ortega. She was the fifth great grand-daughter of Columbus. Her line included Columbus, the discoverer of the New World, as well as the Portuguese royal family. Among others, she was related to the Hapsburgs, Boubons, Plantagenets, the dukes of Lancaster, Aragón etc. Her great grandfather, Don Nuño Colón de Portugal was the fourth Duke of Veragua, Admiral of the Ocean Seas, Duke de la Vega de la Isla de Santo Domingo, Marquis of Jamaica, etc.
All these titles originated from Colón (Columbus) or his son Diego and through the marriages of their descendants to other Spanish grandees.
I don't know some of their native Filipino ethnic. So I just wrote the one I knew.
The Lhuillier are from Cebu, I think Raoul's native Filipino ethnic is Tagalog because
they are from Las Pinas City, Metro Manila.
