We are ASIAN! Do you understand? ASIAN! The only reason why your hearing this pacific islander bullshit is because uneducated Fil-Ams are confused about their race. We are geographically located in ASIA making us ASIAN. Pacific Islands consist of Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia and the Philippines does NOT fall under any of those categories. Taiwan, the South China Sea Islands, most of the islands of Indonesia, and Japan are ALL in the Pacific Ocean but are obviously not considered Pacific Islanders. Therefore, Filipinos are Asian. The United States Bureau even considers the Philippines as Asian. Culture has nothing to do with being asain and looks have nothing to do with being asians. It all matters where the country is located
SO FOR ALL YOU CONFUSED FILIPINOS, WE ARE ASIAN, NOT PACIFIC ISLANDERS. GET IT RIGHT AND DON'T BE EMBARRASSED ABOUT IT BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING TO BE EMBARRASSED ABOUT. BE PROUD OF WHAT YOU ARE.
kaythanksbye. |

the island of the Philippines is part of Asia which is why we are Asians.
The island itself is located near the pacific.

Inhabitants of the following islands and regions are not considered to be Pacific Islanders: Russia's Kuril Islands, Alaska's Aleutian Islands, Taiwan, Japan and Philippines, Indonesia islands, which although technically bordering edges of the Pacific Ocean, do not fall under the definition of "Pacific Islanders" because such islands are not actually located within the three regions of Oceania (Polynesia, Micronesia and Melanesia).
In normal usage Asian does not refer to the people from the Pacific Islands who are usually called Pacific Islanders. The term "Asians and Pacific Islanders" or "Asia/Pacific" was used on the 1990 US Census. However, in the 2000 US Census, the Asian or Pacific Islander category was separated into two categories, "Asian" and "Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander". |

Tectonically speaking most part of the Philippines lies on Asian continent, north of Manila lies on Philippine Shelf, the western side of what is called the Philippine Sea Shelf, which also borders the southern part of the Philippines. |

Both. Its like saying that the English can't be European because they're English. Asia is a HUGE continent and its residents are from different ethnicities. Obviously, its wrong to say that Filipinos and Chinese are of the same ethnicity, such as it would be wrong to say that the Celts and the Gauls are the same. But the Celts and Gauls are both Europeans just as the Chinese and the Filipinos are both Asians. |

Technically speaking, we are both, and we are neither.
We are all that remains of this Great Civilization called Sambala, or Atlantis, or what the Mayans called watchamaycallit, or El Dorado to the conquistadores. All this has happened before, and all this shall happen again.
Our distant cousins, the 12 colonies of Earth who are even now wandering the Universe, shall once again find home, if they survive the cylon attacks, and by prophecy land in the Pacific Ocean, to cook Turkey in Greece, and serve on China to an ever Hungary U.S.A. |

Not many pure filipinos left. Most are hybrid with strong signs of Asian and Spanish mix. The only pure filipinos I ever saw look like african, with the bad hair and all. I envision LapuLapu looking like that. The lean, slim filipinos look Asian while the fat ones look Pacific Islander. Most japanese, chinese, and other asian women have no butt. Filipinas mostly all have a good round butt and really nice black hair. I don't know what ethnic influence that comes from. I suspect Spanish. When I say Spanish, I mean European Spanish, the real ones, not Mexican Spanish, which would be yet another mix. There might be some genetic code could be used to label properly but it all boils down to what you look like. Does it really matter? |

I've heard from every Filipino person (including family) that they like to be recognized as Pacific Islanders. Some get really offended when you call them Asian |
