Filipinos are Spanish by blood. They have Spanish last name because of the Spanish colonization in the Phillipines.

I consider myself Asian. But I say the only asian thing about me is that my country belongs to the continent. We are nothing like the stereotypical Asian. If anything, we are have more Spanish qualities than Asian qualities due to the significant influence the Spaniards have had over the country.
