I'm positively sure the Spanish during the roaring colonial Spanish Period labeled the Flippinos as Indio as well as the Native Americans here in the states. I was looking at some of those Maras Gansters down in Salvador that are pure Indio and they could definately be Flippino. Skin color and ethno features.
I should scan this picture the only one that didn't look Flippino probably had Spanish Blood in him and he was in the middle maybe he was their cool leader?

Haha... but the biggest waves of immigrants during the colonial period to Filipinas were almost entirely amerindians... they were sent there to do the hard job, side by side with the natives... the "peninsulares" and "criollos" almost never settled permanently there. In fact Filipinas was administered from the New Spain, until Mexico's independence in 1821. So, most filipinos with spanish surnames probably have an amerindian (with a spanish surname) as an ancestor... which is cool for me!!! even the nahuatl influence in Tagalog is quite big to partialy demonstrate that! Anyway... I think that mestizos ans mulatos are people, just like other people!

^Yeah... many people rely on curanderos when they don't have access to health services or for a second opinion. In central and south Mexico there's even a "syncretism" between catholisism and indian traditions as well as the Culto de la Santa Muerte (Cult of the Holy Death) which is like a new branch of catholisism/christianism born in Mexico City.
