@@DrNotDr filipinos are literally like 3-15% spanish on average, so most filipinos are part spanish european. But it depends really.

I think South Korea and North Korea might not have been divided long enough for their DNA to diverge. Also, the testing company might not have had very many reference samples from North Korea, so they just decided to leave North Korea unhighlighted on the map

yes exactly, probably only 1% of the entire Ph population have hints of Spanish blood, because the number of Spanish soldiers stationed in the Philippines during the spanish era is estimated to be only 2 thousand to 5 thousand spanish people, and believe you me not everyone of those 2-5 thousand had interest in Filipinas as we Filipinos were discriminated against by the Spaniard because they despised how we looked

@@adamwon3012 lm Filipino and l know my history, most of the Spaniards saw Filipinos as low class citizens because of our looks such as brown skin, black hair, and short height, they called us "indios" and treated us like slaves

Ive also seen filipinos identifying themselves as islanders too. When u think Pacific islander, ur reminded of tall, heavyset, rugby NFL players or like the rock / jason momoa types... they look nothing like filipinos who are normally quite petite, south east asian looking...why do they call themselves pacific islander? If Filipinos are pacific islander wouldn't that mean Indonesians, Malaysians and even some areas of japan are pacific islanders too?...it doesnt make sense. Genuinely curious

@@bbbkkk3034 ​ Hi! I'm not too sure if there's a history behind that (filipinos identifying themselves as islanders), but my theory is maybe because the Philippines is actually composed of thousands of islands (in filipino, "pulo"), and filipinos who actually lives in the Philippines, we would say "the island of Boracay" or the "island of Catanduanes." And so maybe, that's one reason why they would identify themselves as "islanders", not because they are gentically related to Pacific Islanders like Samoans (although, I think some filipinos also carry a tiny amount of polynesian blood), but because they grew up in an island, hence them being an islander. But in the Philippines, we don't care much about islander label to be honest haha. Now, if you're talking about Filipino-Americans identifying themselves as islanders, I think maybe lack of cultural heritage or misunderstanding in geography. Because the Philippines is right next to the Pacific Ocean and we're also close to some PI countries like Palau. Or maybe because we literally look like we came out of an island haha. There was a lot of blood mixing in the South east Asia, especially in PH (some due to colonization, modern migration, or interracial families) that's why we look the way we look right now haha. But geographically and historically speaking, we are for sure south-east asians. All in all, it really depends on the history of every families too, so maybe the one you talked to really have PI blood or just a misundertanding. Those are just theories based on my own observation. I wish I could give you a more accurate answer but my history is a little rusty now hahaha

@@JM-is4dz but tbh I also dont think they look any more "mixed/interracial" than other south east asians. I think Indonesia also has hundreds of islands too. I think ur right though. Its just an american thing.

Exactly. It's natural for Korean to have small portion of Japanese DNA and vice versa. It is all because Korean and Japanese do share same ancestry.

Korea was literally the protsititue nation for the Japanese, the comfort women of Korea had many sexual encounters with the Japanese during ww2 and had babies, it’s no wonder Koreans have Japanese dna

@@kinglisco1379 More Japanese girls were working as prostitute in Imperial Japanese Army, FYI.

The reason why 99.9% of Filipinos dont have Spanish blood is because when the Spaniards went to the Philippines, the Spaniards didn't impregnate native Filipino women since the Spaniards looked down on the Filipino people just because they had dark skin. This is why Filipinos today don't have Spanish blood running in their veins. therefore, Filipinos are not Spanish rather they are Southeast Asians/Austronesians

@@DrNotDr Since you chose to post on my thread, I guess my ancestor wasn't raped as what I had suspected since my clan's discovery that we have Spanish/Portuguese blood in our DNA. Too dark skin? Immaculate conception? 99.9% is an exaggeration - no need to pump up 95%.

@@DrNotDr Yeah but it didn’t mean none of them had interest or no advantage if they did. Those with true Spanish ancestry had ancestors who were either 1) Precolonial nobility (they were somewhat respected and encouraged to marry the Spaniards so the Spaniards can make use of the blood ties and complicate/prevent more potential future rebellions) 2) Raped (friars notoriously did this) 3) Some Spanish mestizo from latinoamerica who married a Filipino mestiza (such marriages were encouraged) 4) The Spanish or mestizo guy really loved the Indio woman (rare but I’m sure it could have happened within 333 years, plus according to the racial class of the time union between a Spaniard or mestizo with an Indio woman was seen better than union with a Chinese (because they were not christianized). Also the discrimination against Indios were on a less intense level to Indios supportive under Spanish rule. It was there but the discrimination was mainly to those who rebelled against the Spanish. Basically they treated them in a certain way so they pit themselves against their own kind. They treated the Spanish supportive Indios a bit “better” than Indios from clans that were not under their authority (usually the unchristainized ones).

My sister took the same DNA test and had about the same result. Mostly Filipino, then Southern Chinese and some Indonesian. Some very small trace (less than 1%) of Native American, Japanese, Basque and Jewish ancestry. No Spanish DNA but most likely the Spanish ancestor came from a Basque majority region somewhere in Spain. That or most likely from Portugal (which has a number of Basque ancestry).

Being that Spanish populations often get mistaken as British/Irish (Celtic) populations by Ancestry DNA, there's a strong chance that the total 4% is all Spanish/Basque DNA

@@user-tp7ne1du1n Southern parts of the Korean peninsula were inhabited by rice-farming Japonic people in ancient times. And proto-Koreanic speakers originated from Manchuria and migrated the peninsula, mixing/absorbing Japonic people. Most interestingly, the largest genetic component of modern Koreans--around 40%--would gene characteristics as same as the Northern Han Chinese.

6% comes from the superior Yamato(Yayoi) Japanese race, Not the inferior sub human Ainu in Hokkaido. Yamato race has always been the superior Japanese race. Koreans only have a small portion of that which is why they fail to compete with the superior beings of the Yamato people.

@@supercal3944 Do u like singing Battōtai as well? Just march to south and especially north korea singing that or even china and tell them about the glory of yamato kingship

China makes sense because the Nationalists left to Taiwan and my grandpa said his dad came from there

Korea for the longest time was a tributary state to either China or Japan on occasion. They were and stayed mostly homogenous because they were between two countries with violent and domineering rulers in their history. Trade was often limited to the Chinese, Japanese, the Mongols and the Dutch. Also the sea surrounding Japan is considered turbulent so if they did want to migrate or trade with other countries somewhere it would have been difficult and for the longest time Wakko pirates dominated the waters near Taiwan. If anything China and Japan as well as Confucianist ideals had significant influence in isolating Korea from most of Asia.

that is why you have to upload your raw DNA to ged match and wegene[chinese] to get a better picture of your asian DNA

I also thought the same, Ancestry DNA mistakes a lot of Spanish and Basque DNA as Irish and Welsh

@@hiphipjorge5755 Basque and Spanish are quite distinct from Irish and Welsh. It will even tell you what countries these results are most common on Ancestry. Ireland Primarily located in Ireland Also found in: Channel Islands, Faroe Islands, France, Iceland, Isle of Man, Northern Ireland, Scotland. Wales Primarily located in: Wales Also found in: England. For Scotland Primarily located in: Scotland Also found in: Channel Islands, England, Faroe Islands, France, Iceland, Isle of Man, Northern Ireland. If you get Spain or Basque you can see where those results are primarily located in also. So Ireland and Scotland are similar but Wales is primarily found in England.

It's amazing How long Basque has been existent for. But I'm learning Basque and I wonder why it sounds so much like spanish.

Proto-Korean speakers are from Manchuria, and 20% of modern South Korean males fall under that lineage Y-DNA Haplogroup C. Southern parts of the peninsula were Japonic and their language is called Peninusular Japonic in the field of linguistics.

Yes but many Koreans are not mixed with Japanese.

Koreans and Japanese DO have same ancestry, but each were mixed with natives as well.

This is because Japanese people originally lived in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula about 2000 years ago. In the first place, the Yayoi O1B2 originated in southern China, came to the Japanese archipelago, and then migrated to the southern part of the Korean Peninsula. After that, the Mongolian C invaded mainland China, and the northern Han people O2 fled to the southern part of the Korean peninsula, and the present Koreans were born. After that, when the nations such as Baekje and Goguryeo collapsed, they fled to Japan and emigrated.

@@adamwon3012 Half correct, half wrong. The Yayoi people are an ethnic group that came from the southern part of the Yangtze River in southern China. Genetically speaking, they are O1b2 people. It is possible that they migrated around 3000 BC. It is speculated that they were probably the people who created the Yangtze River civilization. People living in Wu, China today are a completely different people because they have almost no O1b2 genes. The Yayoi people came to the Japanese archipelago via the ancient Chinese continent, but I don't think they have much to do with the Chinese of today.

Ancestry!

All through the comments it has this but nothing to back it up. Basques in fact are not close to Insular Celtic populations and speak an non Indo-European language. Welsh speak an Insular Celtic Byrthonic language. They are neither close genetically nor culturally. The Welsh are closest to English even before Irish and Scots. There isn't even an Insular Celtic cluster either. There are lots of genetic studies available online. Not sure where people get the idea that Basques are close to Insular Celtic populations? Even such notions that there is Celtic dna is not accurate. Basques anyway aren't Celts obviously.

Just like most older indian migrants to the UK were mixed when compared to those who came from the 1960s onwards and just like indo-portuguese who live in Portugal are more mixed than current day Goans

@varoonnone7159 Filipino migration is different from Indian migration though, even though both groups' early migrations were both mixed. The early period of Filipino migration consisted of Filipinos coming from areas which had been severely devastated by the Philippine-American War and subsequent Americanization. Filipinos with a connection to the Spanish, both non-mestizo Filipinos adopting the Spanish language and literary forms as a vehicle for resistance against the American occupation, and mestizo Filipinos who were also hostile to domination by America, blocked the Americanization of the Philippines. The Americans thus focused their military, economic, and forced educational efforts to eradicate the Spanish-speaking centers of Filipino resistance against American domination. The result was the end of Spanish as a common language in the Philippines and the migration of a lot of mestizos and non-mestizos from the Spanish-speaking centers of Filipino resistance. I'm not familiar with the Indian situation, but the precursor to Filipino migration was revolution against the Americans.

i dont bet the basque were the most numerous in the philippines before among spanish filipinos, probably just was populous enough to be one of the big groups before

some surnames in the philippines are basically from native languages or former sanskrit or malay or hokkien chinese loans that all later was just spelled in spanish orthography as how the spaniards would've spelled words and the spanish education system by the friars taught the few before that could afford it, since the spaniards brought the latin letters first to the philippines before the americans came introducing english in a mainstream sense.

Never, *EVER* met a Filipino with more than 8% Spanish. I've met some with 20%+ Chinese though, that ancestry is a lot more common and makes sense seeing how close China is.

@@Nutty151 in manila go to ayala alabang, forbes park, bel air, damarinas village, etc , there you will see a lot of mixed filipinos..some dont even look asians anymore and you dont even need to do dna tests

@@vicfortela Many are mixed with Negritos too. They are one of the Indigenous Filipinos.

The reason why 99.9% of Filipinos dont have Spanish blood is because when the Spaniards went to the Philippines, the Spaniards didn't impregnate native Filipino women since the Spaniards looked down on the Filipino people just because they had dark skin. This is why Filipinos today don't have Spanish blood running in their veins. therefore, Filipinos are not Spanish rather they are Southeast Asians/Austronesians.

Basque and Welsh are not genetically related. Basque are quite distinctive and have their own cluster. Welsh cluster in Northwestern Europe and do not have their own cluster. Basque are closest to Southern French and Northern Spanish but still a bit distinctive from these populations. Welsh are closest to English.

@@jackieblue1267 Basque DNA can throw off those metrics because they are related. I've known people that are Basque with zero Welsh ancestry being told they have substantial Welsh or British origin. And just on a basic physical appearance level, the Romans also compared the Welsh to Iberians(Basque). Specifically the Silures tribe. They even assumed that they originally crossed over from Iberia.

@@jeanbethencourt1506 There is no special connection between Welsh and Basque. Have you ever read any dna studies on these populations or know of any history about those regions? I've seen loads of dna tests and I doubt Basques get substantial Welsh in particular. Why do you think those populations would be close in particular? Welsh are closest to English genetically and the Basque are closest to Spanish and Southwest French. Even on Ancestry which is the test taken here this is what is said for Wales Wales Primarily located in: Wales. Also found in: England. About this Region The rolling hills and steep cliffs bounded by England to the east and 870 miles of coastline on the north, west, and south make up our Wales population region-or Cymru in Welsh, which is still spoken there. First settled by Celtic tribes, the country’s ancient and medieval history has been preserved and woven into a modern sense of Welsh identity and pride, which is still visible in the country’s 600 castles, its Welsh-language media, and its Eistedfoddau, festivals that celebrate Wales’s long tradition of literature, poetry, and music. Basque Basque ethnicity assignment has notably increased for identified users with long family histories in Northeastern Spain and Southwestern France. Northern Spain Spain, France & Basque Country It's not like they have a special connection or relationship.

Austronesian filipinos mixed with malay, chinese, hindu, arab, polynesian, and spanish, with maybe some english, japanese and African and some native americans thrown in

@@adamwon3012 yes, filipinos is mix with different groups of asian and other ethnicity. That's why the filipinos feature is diverse and not homogeneous.

Northern Philippines is probably from those Cordillera who located from Highland Mountain? Like the igorots.

Those from the South are more related and culturally connected to their neighbors especially Indonesia and Malaysia. Northerners are more related and have a hint of cultural connections with East Asia.

That's not true lol, Basques are a result of isolation, they are just as Spanish as anyone else the only difference is they partly lack the Indo-European component that Spanish people have. Spanish people are same as basques except they have celtic and indo-european genes. The iberian cultures before the arrival of the celts were basques

I’m guessing ancestry dna, I also wanna try it

Spanish was the official language of the Philippines until 1987. Does that mean Filipinos were hispanic before 1987?

The colonial mentality is crazy💀

@@sirius5657 is it wrong to have a preference? Also it’s a worldwide thing where people find Spanish as an attractive language, and Spanish music is one one of the most popular in the world.

Mahiya ka naman. Colonial mentality tf

@@amo_res9266 That's not preference you're pushing the colonial mentality, this white supremacist thinking is so funny to me coz how is Spanish is attractive to you lmfao and if you really preferred that language learn it by yourself. We don't need to revive that colonizer language that ruined our ancestors, us today’s society and almost cause genocide and culture destruction. INDIO!

The first people that came to America were Asians not necessarily Filipinos but, if you are from the state of Guerrero or near that state you may have some Filipino ancestry.

No there were never that many spanish there. A lot were soldiers from Mexico

Actually to be exact: its 15,600 Mexican soldiers immigrating and only 600 Spaniards out of a Philippine population of 667,612 people in the 1600s. And another 35,000 Mexicans in the 1700s out of a population of 1.5 Million. In both centuries (1600s and 1700s) pure Mexican immigrants formed 2.33% of the population. Here's the source. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_the_Philippines

What is difference between Latino and Hispanic? Hispanic refers to a person with ancestry from a country whose primary language is Spanish. Latino and its variations refer to a person with origins from anywhere in Latin America (Mexico, South and Central America) and the Caribbean. What countries are Hispanic? Hispanic countries are: Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Equatorial Guinea, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Puerto Rico, Spain

@@DrNotDr You just ignored the study I posted and made some wild conjectures. Read it again. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_the_Philippines

The Spaniards called the Aeta people Negritos and the other tribes INDIOS. I have never seen Chinitos in the Historical Texts/Writings/Memoirs of the Conquistadors.

You’re wrong. The Chinese in the Philippines were treated as a completely different race from the native Filipinos- who were called Indios and Negritos. They were so different that the Spanish considered Chinese-Filipino mixes to be mixed race- “Chinese mestizos” and they made sure that census records kept track of their population

@@mitchs3559 how ironic the Chinese didn’t even want to assimilate or intermixed with other ethnicity, I would say they are only a Chinese community in the Philippines, not one of the ethnic of the Philippines, to oversimplified they only traders who used to live in the Philippines

3 % is still significant ,remove that and the person above will cease to exist meaning he had a great grand parent who was 100 % white 5 to6 generations ago

There's no word Chinito in the history of the Philippines during Spanish occupation. Chinese migrants and half-Chinese are referred as Sangley(s).

Bobo saglet Lang Nila na conquer Yun and they leave quickly because they don't have resource to defend manila which is only small part of the Philippines yeah I understand what your point is, but it's total bullshit,

Matsing Ka 7 minutes ago (edited) Most or 90% of Filipinos are direct descendants of Indo/Malay Chinese Negritos ,the rest are of pure Chinese, a minority of Caucasian and pure Aeta or little Black Pygmy or Negritos people like Manny Pacquaio..

@@xXxSkyViperxXx Filipinos are t Spanish!

Just 3%, c'mon lol .....

@@DrNotDr I'll give the real reason, Filipinos are Matrilineal. Meaning The headhunting custom revolves around women. Before a man can marry, he must take a head of a woman's male family member in order for the woman's parents/family member to trust the man that he could protect their precious child. That's how valuable women to Filipinos are. Do you know Filipino Tribes practice headhunts before? What I've told you is one of those reasons.

@@norbe6534 he only has 1% British and that's not enough to say that he's mixed. Stop claiming Filipinos are from elsewhere because Filipinos belong to the native indigenous Austronesian tribes.

@@DrNotDr If you've been on the country and you only see pure blooded ones everyday in your neighborhood. You would immediately know if a person is mixed or not. That is the reason why, let's say a mother and her twins or triplet, the mother knows which ones is which. Its an instinct of people/animals. You don't have that instinct? And btw, that 1% or 3% or whatever percent you want to say is already enough to alter a characteristics natural instinct of a person/animal. Heres one, an Aeta/ Negrito has an incredible sense of smell and can detect people/animal/whatever's location with their noses. The Denisovan gene is also known as "Super-Athlete gene". Thats how potent Denisovan bloods are. And they only have 4-5% Denisovan blood I think. So... What are you saying about 1%-3% again?

right on

there were many filipino migrants to hawaii before and hawaiians are technically american citizens as the 50th state

They don't, the type of colonization that the Philippines went through was a taxing one. Meaning that Spanish soldiers where there to simply tax, they did not intermingle with the locals. Maybe a few Spanish soldiers empregnated some locals, but not many.

@@Jay-kl5oyany way to get the original last names back?

@sahej6939 No, the Spanish made everyone adopt a Spanish last names.

They raped the shit out of the tribes in the Americas tho

Ya that was a slave mark to keep tabs on you but Filipinos had the option to keep what ever surname they had tho

Well, it was 1%

@@RiceSquad 1 perfect equal nothing lol

I know right I wonder how accurate this is

Filipinos have huge eyes (most of them)

​@@xxibkryss.l9834yeah the only difference is Pilipinos have big eyes we have double eye lids! And light brown skin or light skin!
