Tell em bro, sum times I think too many Fillys, don't really know the whole history of the Austronesians that resided in the Philippine Islands.

YOU'RE 100% CORRECT! A lot of Pinoys are either ignorant or ashamed of being South East Asian. It's a colonial mentality, back then, when Spain colonized the Philippines, if you were a Mestizo-Filipino (Half Native Filipino/Half Spanish) you were considered "royalty" and you were considered "above" or "better" than full blooded Native people. That sort of mentality has been carried on throughout Filipino history and has brainwashed a lot of Pinoys. That's why skin whitening products are so popular in the Philippines. It's pure self hatred. Just because you have a Spanish surname DOES NOT mean you have Spanish ancestry, those were slave names that were forced onto our people. I'm glad more people like you know the truth. I think amount of the Pinoy population with actual Spanish ancestry is like at 2% or something like that, it's very low. Filipino's are South East Asians/Austronesians.

JJ DD , thank you so much for those comments, I totally agree 110%. Likewise I wish there were more ppol like you who has a very deep and extensive knowledge of the SEA And East Asian ethnimology it's far more interesting than Europeans or so-called colonisers. I think there is a lot to be done to reeducate not just Filipinos but the whole Austronesian diaspora. They were great Seafarers and The mainland East Asian that contributed to the progression of mankind in terms of inventions.

JJ DD , also agree with you on the genetics facts. It's true that recent studies confirmed that filipinos have between 2 to 3 percent genetics of European descent. But you are absolutely right about the hispanised names. I've also read that the priests who converted and baptised the natives also change their names to Spanish names and were given important roles and more favoured. But they had no Spanish genes. It's a shame that majority of Pilipinos don't dig deeper into their history. And not all the islands were fully conquered or ruled nether nor agreed to be converted to a Christianised system. So those who did not convert, although left alone, were not favoured socially or given important roles. The Spanish knew they had to convert the chiefs or Datu's first to gain the trust of the natives. Otherwise they would have meet the same date as Magellan even with canons and muskets. So they had to trick the and befriended the chiefs. So much more to research and discuss, but thank you for ppol like you.

Kent Alpeche-Kho Musa My grandmother told me one time that she found out as a teen that she was a descendant of the man who decapitated Magellan, Lapu-Lapu. But because there are no records from that time or anything before the 1800s, I have no way to prove or disprove it. Not all indigenous names were latinized, I have some old Bohol and Cebuano names that I found in church books there from the 1800s.

And forget not Mindanao and Manila were founded by my forefathers from Sumatra Indonesia prior to Spaniard

​@@RIZFERD nah indonesian people are scared of Filipino sultans, rajahs, datus, etc back then way before the Spaniards

very true

That's true Filipinos are the first Asian in America.

So true

Jaclyn Michelle Ortega , sorry guys first Asians in America were already there long long time ago, the natives ...they came from Asia originally.😉

@@kentalpeche-khomusa8003 native american is not asian..😂😂

LMAO, this is 🔥

Lol

lamaw

@Bloodline wow I never knew that

No it's not, american natives are not ancestors of Filipinos it's the sample size of the company that has an error they're just showing a small percentage similarity

Sometimes it get confused between asian and native American if the blood is similar

I think i know why when you look back in history native Americans used to be asian until the bering strait disappeared

The smaller percentage of Native American could either be DNA from Mexico or the remnant of Asian DNA that native Americans have

He did good lol! We’re anxiously awaiting his results!

We're close I have 87% African, European 11% and East Asian/Native American 2% (1% Native, 1% Chinese & Southeast Asian)

Awww thank you Alicia

Yup. She’s gorg! 👑

no she doesnt im Polynesian she looks nothing like us

Shes pretty!

You would pass for a Samoan Filipinos have a lot of ethnic diversity mostly Austronesians different to Chinese Han our ancestors are native people of Taiwan even our Languages are similar do some research and you'll be surprised.

There were a few groups of highlanders who came down from the mountains before and during the Spanish colonial period. They married other highlanders, and some only married into Ilocano families only recently.

LOL CORRECT!

That’s so cool!! Omg yeah a lot of people I’ve known just think Asians are supposed to look Chinese lol Hehe that’s just his hair 😁

Filipinos are related to Polynesians. Thats why it says "Filipino & Austronesian" as 1 category. Polynesians are considered Austronesians just like Filipinos are

@@minim6981 national geographic genographic broke downtown Filipinos as 30 percent east Asian and the rest Malay polynesian

@@victorvicente588 Did you forget the 5% Southern European and 2% Native American, and 3% South Asian (Indian) genographic.nationalgeographic.com/reference-populations-next-gen/

@@victorvicente588 filipinos aint the same as Polynesian the need to change how the categorize things

That is interesting.

Coastal East African & especially Madagascar have "Filipino & Austronesian" DNA. The original people of Madagascar came from Borneo, who then came from the Philippines, Today, Madagascar's language is still similar to Filipino.

Congratulations, you have now learned that people have been traveling the world for centuries.

I'm filipina. My DNA result said I'm mixed with 13% Baltic, 6% eskimo/inuit and 16% african.

I’m mostly African decent with 16% Filipino and white I think that’s amazing

malayo Polynesian is a language group not dna

Good for her, you look totally whatever you are

F1a :)

Asians in general lol

And notice how if you read the comments you would swear shes the only Filipina that doesn't have Spanish DNA loll people in the comments lying about having Spanish DNA for no reason

🤣🤣🤣

Wooooo!! I wonder how different the classifications are between MyHeritage and 23andMe

@Vince Baleto in MyHeritage indonesia, filipino, and malaysia are classified as one races

@Vince Baleto all southeast asian are same austroa asiatic and austronesian except vietnamese were chinese descendent

@Vince Baleto because filipino,malaysian ,indonesian and native taiwanese have austronesian DNA. and indonesian (javanese) also have austro asiatic DNA similar to khamer cambodia and others southeast asian except vietnamese,eastern indonesian also have melanesian DNA similar to papua newguinea and fiji island, so I think he was not wrong if he said he have malay,indonesia,filipino DNA

@Vince Baleto Because a lot indigenous Filipino tribes ancestors migrated from Malaysia and Indonesia. Malays, Indos and Pinoys are the same people just in different countries. I've always seen those three groups of people get mistaken for one another ALL the time.

has nothing to do with hawaii

What does this have to do with Hawaii

That’s actually not true at all, most Filipinos are pure Asian, it’s just that they like to over exaggerate just how much European DNA they hold over there. Even when they do have Spanish blood they usually have less than 5%.

@@josephoso Well I will agree with Asian too if that test means to specify the continent in which we belong and I would love for such a study to appear that majority of Filipino DNA still keeps it 90plus percent still because we've been always said to be not like that anymore.

No one speaks Spanish in the Philippines. stop pretending Filipinos are Hispanic. You're not

@Dude Zamboanga City people left the group Lmao, I’ve been there few weeks ago to visit their famous Santa Cruz Island beach ,literally their mother tounge is spanish Lmao

@Dude if u don’t know the Philippines itself better to zipped ur mouth even our President has only about 80% knowledge of our country cuz the colonizers they ruined everything about the philippines soil even books about our country during those time had gone and what are we now?? You see the effects?? Even our people the Tagalog people in Luzon island and Bisaya people in Visayas island were used to fight each other

Thanks for watching! Ooohh Finnish..very interesting!

@@SunnySharde Hi! I was also surprised to see that. We were told in the family that my maternal grandfather had a Spanish ancestor, not Finnish.

@@arlenevanvegchel9136 The Finnish DNA could still be related to that ancestor though!

@@angelicacarvajalful Yes, it could be migration from Finland to Spain or that 1% is just noise.

I just got my results as a Filipino. I’m 97% filipino with 1.9% European mostly from British and Ireland. Only .2% of my dna was Spaniard, which is weird because I was always fed the myth that my ancestors were Spanish. None of the less, I’m surprised at my hint of European

COOL FACT BRO but it's the Other way around Islanders came from South East Asia.... Gooood Try??

@@wasnttrying5019 I'm not saying Filipinos originated from Pacific Islanders. Please read my first post where I mentioned Filipinos and most Pacific Islanders came from Taiwan and stop jumping to conclusions. Lol why does it seem nearly every video I talk about Pacific Islander genetics I get a reply from you 🤦🏾‍♂️. Please read my first post though 🙄

@@lerinhar probably because your not a historian or geneticist and are talking on cultures you are not a part of

@@steveboy7302 I don't have to be a geneticist or historian however, I've been independently studying a multitude cultures since I was 13 years old. A large percentage of my knowledge came from reading Encyclopedias, articles, books etc. Also, I'm an anthropology major. Furthermore, just because I'm not Austronesian does not mean I don't have a great deal of knowledge of the various cultures. If the Western scientists never visited Austronesian lands and extensively studied the cultures many people would not have known about Austronesian cultures from other far away including Austronesians themselves. Besides different Austronesian cultures living close by each other, Western scientists made Austronesians aware of each others presence especially if they were situated far apart from one another. Example of this: There is no proof that Polynesians knew about the Amis people of Taiwan or Micronesians knew of the Mentawai people of Sumatra nor is there proof the Malagasy of Madagascar knew of the Naoero people of Nauru. I can go on and on. So don't tell me what I do or don't know. I don't know everything about Austronesian culture or any other culture for that matter but what I do know would surprise you. I will end this by stating that after originating from Taiwan, the ancestors of Austronesian Pacific Islanders did in fact colonize The Philippines before island hoping their way to the Pacific Islands. This has been supported through linguistics, cultural similarities, archeological remains, y chromosome DNA , mitochondrial DNA and more recently aDNA(ancient DNA from human remains. Prove me wrong and I'll owe you an apology.

@@lerinhar true some people I guess are just in denial would rather the filipinos not claim pacific islander even if it's true

That's what some people say. However, the overall category is "East Asian & Native American", and according to 23andme: "The peoples of East Asia and the Americas have a shared genetic history. Their common ancestors left western Asia over 50,000 years ago, migrating east across the continent. The ancestors of Native Americans began to cross into the Americas 12,000 to 15,000 years ago. Broadly East Asian & Native American DNA is a relic of this ancient population split, and reflects shared roots in central and northern Asia."

Me too. Thank you.

Native Americans and Austronesian originated from China. Austronesian peoples now live in the Philippines, Southeast Asia, Madagascar, and almost all of the Pacific Islands, including Hawaii, Fiji, Guam, and Samoa.

Native Americans are originally Asian. It has nothing to do with the Mexicans that were part of the Spanish colonization.

@@victorinohermano4399 who said there from china you made that up

Makes sense! The results show it comes from 6-8+ generations ago

@@SunnySharde unlikely, especially at 0.2%. Native American DNA often shows up in many Asians' results in these tiny amounts, because Native Americans are from Asia. That's why they're under the same category.

@@kerdoi Nope. 23andme has 2 categories to account for the overlap of Asian & Native American DNA. "Broadly East Asian and Native American" and "Broadly Northern Asian & Native American DNA" The DNA is labeled in these categories when it's DNA shared by both Asians and Native Americans. So it only labels it as "Native American" when it's actually Native American. And she can prove it's really Native American if she finds Native American/Hispanic DNA relatives. I've seen a lot of Filipinos with tiny amounts of Native American. I have some too, and I have plenty of DNA relatives from Peru and Mexico who share those Native American segments with me

@@minim6981 I've seen Koreans and Chinese have NA(specifically) turn up in their 23andme too. Does that mean NA were over there? No. It's not unusual for any Asians to have it, because NA are an old branch of relatives.

kerdoi maybe in the old 23andme tests. But the updated 23andme have clear new categories that take care of the overlap between Asian and Native American DNA. They made these new categories at the same time they created new categories like “Austronesian/Filipino” and Chinese. They’re getting really good at narrowing down ancestry. And it’s totally normal for Filipinos to have DNA from Mexican soldiers because it lines up with history. National Geographic even says that the average Filipino is 2% Native American. genographic.nationalgeographic.com/reference-populations-next-gen/

🤦

I think it's because the ancestors of Native Americans came from Asia.

Native Americans original ancestors came from Asia through the land bridge called the Bering Strait.

@@jjdd4307 theory not fact its the white man who keeps promoting that

@@steveboy7302 LMAO go look at Native American Eskimos and tell me they aren't from Asia.

But Polynesia is historically related to the Philippines in the same way that Native Americans are historically related to East Asians. Both Filipinos and Polynesians have the same Austronesian roots. Some Austronesian people travelled from the Philippines to Polynesian countries. Because of the Philippines long trading history with China and waves of Chinese immigration, modern day Filipinos have Chinese DNA and look different from Polynesians.

We’re not

@Vince Baleto the original pacific islanders are not seafarer people they are native to their islands or natural born islanders or maybe from papuans /Australian ..those austronesians from taiwan are the real seafarers people ..the fact that your coconuts. Mangoes. Tattoos linked to Philippines they bring to your island from the Philippines and the fact that the first tattooed man who discovered by Europeans are from Philippines prince giolo of moangis.. year 1521

@Vince Baleto Polynesians costumes are much or more similar to thailand .cambodia. Malaysia. Indonesia still not came from asia?

@Vince Baleto exactly its always filipinos trying to associate themselves with polynesians they desire so hard to be Polynesian they'll try to change history to suit there own agenda notice how its never Polynesians who try to associate themselves with the Philippines

Sorry bro But it's The Other way around Pacific Islanders (Melanesian, Polynesian, Micronesian) came from South East Asia

@@wasnttrying5019 here please re-read what I've stated: "The Indigenous Taiwanese(The progenitors of Austronesian people outside of Taiwan." A progenitor is someone or something that produced an offspring which in this case is stating Indigenous Taiwanese people gave rise to most Pacific Islanders.

@@wasnttrying5019 furthermore you should re-read this: "Filipino people tend to represent an admixture of ancestral Polynesian people who left Taiwan and colonized The Philippines before migrating to the Pacific Islands with later indigenous Taiwanese groups who had a more Tai-Kradai appearance.". The above clearly mentions Ancestral Polynesians originating from Taiwan, colonizing the Philippines and further migrating to the Pacific Islands so no I did not say Filipinos originated from Pacific Islanders. Instead, some of Filipinos ancestors were an early pre-pacific ancestral Polynesian people.

@@lerinhar todays Polynesian never came from the Philippines
