Why do people associate the Philippines with other former Spanish

because american culture is a just a meme

>>72555052
Do they?

>>72555118
Really though America has probably had more of an effect on the Philippines in 46 years than 300 years of Spanish rule

Are Filipinos considered Asian or Pacific Islander?

Its wierd, we never think of them
>>72556282
Indonesian probably?

>>72555153
we've been pretty much neglected for the first 200 years of Spanish rule, the first 200 years were only spreading their religion and administration, only when they lost Latin America and when the Suez Canal was built did they start seeing Filipinas in a new light, but it was pretty much too late though.

Why filipinos are so nice and cute?

Top kek

>>72555052
We were a Spanish colony for about 300 years, compared to 48 years of American rule.

>>72563688
No theyre dutch. But they could build a house and what not on bought private land for cheap and live off what the bank grants them as they get 10% each month. Basically retired and living a luxurious life for pinoy standards without losing any money for living costs. The workers get 250 or 400 peso a day to build their stuff, which is absolutely nothing compared to what you'd pay in the Netherlands.

Basically you can sell your standard house in the Netherlands, and build like two luxurious houses while keeping atleast a third of the money you get for the dutch house. Which is roughly 400k euros. Leaves you about 130k to put in the bank

>Why do people associate the Philippines with other former Spanish colonies

Do they? I didn't even know the Philippines had been a Spanish colony until last year when I watched a TV series episode about this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Baler

Indeed.

I remember studying only about the American colonies (in quite a shallow way, desu). Most of the Spanish history text books only focus on the stuff that happened in the Peninsula.

>>72555052

Because they look and act and smell like mexicans.

>>72556282

They are hybrids of Melenesians (related to Australian abos) and SE Asians.

Asian monkeys.

>>72565311
we learn a few things about Latin America, some spanish teachers even explain briefly the dialectical differences from some of their countries, but we aren't even told about Filipinas

>>72568479
This is true actually
If you want to learn about the spanish philipines you have to do it on your own
