mexico and philippines very similiar so similar many mexican and lat-am i know want to visit here to check it out some even consider the philippines and filipinos their latin-asian brothers.

one more pic my nose is def not lao or cambodian, But yeah its big coz i got it from my pure filipino gradad who has a big nose and was darkskinned.

I know, I live in the US and has been to Mexico many many times before, I can pretty much tell the difference from the majority mexicans. You don't really see very many caucasian looking mexicans in the street of Mexico City or Acapulco, infact, one of my coworker is mexican, there are also several mexicans that works out at my gym who I sometimes engage conversations with. Its easy to spot pinoys from Mexicans, but guess what, I sometimes have hard time separating pinoys from cambodian, Indonesians and Thais. Evan these few people I run into out here who were from Myanmar, I can't tell pinoys apart that I would try and talk to them in filipino until I realized they are actually from Myanmar.

You misread what i said, mentioned also. I said, your nose is not as pointed and big as most mexicans who are not caucasian mexicans. It's not flat or small like most of pinoys but it's not close enough to a typical dark skinned mexicans.

because we are already mixed with malay over and over some features are also mixed the pointy nose is only seen in people that have little malay addmix or amerindian addmix mostly u find them in upper class rich spanish families that only intend to inter-marry their kids with other kids whose family are also spanish, its like their tradition of preserving their raza.

Sometimes it is just random genetics some family that are fully malay looking can have kids that are white with mestiso features even though the parents are both dark. Its because many filipino really have hispanic blood even though it may not show in the physical appearance.

Like my other sister that looks chinese and my other cousins are dark and other is white but are from both the same parents this incidence much like in mexico but in there its very very common in families to have huge variations.

So ok here some pics i found of people from my area.

Going way back to the 19th century in Manila: sisters from a prominent mestizaje family...



...if it weren't for the Maria Clara-type dresses, they could have well been Chicanas, except that in addition to Castellano, they were fluent in Tagalog.

back then filipinianas are hot and exotic...they still are.

The original or perhaps the right word would be "earlier" inhabitants of the Philippines are aetas, malays, indonchina this is why majority of the filipinos looks very much similar to the Malays, indonesians and thais. There are only very few castillian spanish descendants in the Philippines since when the US took over and colonized the Philippines, the spaniards and the mestisa/os move to the west and spain. By blood lineage, there are only very few direct spanish descendants. The mestisos and mestisas we see around especially in these later years are due to filipinos, especially filipinas intermarriage to western , japanese and korean men. Ofcourse, there are some filipinas during the spanish colonization where caucasian spaniards impregnated local indio women, but that's another story.

The first picture u posted? she looks like my niece actually. Is she related to you? Because if that's the case if they are the same person. I know her..

I myself doesn't look 100% filipino because of my nose, eyes and cheekbones, although, I knew nothing about having other blood lineage, i look a bit like a guy from India, the middleast and sometimes, yes, I get mistaken for a hispanic. I have posted one of my pics here in the past and even some of the forummers here asked if I am of mixed race, I just am not.

But in the end, no matter how much we differ in our physical traits I am more concern and interested in the communality in our culture.

These reminds me of Filipinos:

The girl on the right looks pretty.

pwede ba tawagin ko na nueva iberican?

[bukid]

native americans have pointed long nose. most filipinos dont have them they usually look more malay than mexican. but the mestizo filpino-spanish does look a bit more like the native americans specially when they inherited the dark skin of the malays.

[amigo32]

dios mio marimar, ayaw akong tangapin na mexican, di bale, papasa namn akong kalahi ni fulguzo.

[drfeelgood17]

@Hawayano, I detect a hint of sibling rivalry and jealousy between those mestiza sisters, they don't look too happy next to each other!

Basically, from what I've seen in this thread, your "average" Mexican resembles an average mestizo Filipino(a).

check out this mexicans they totaly look like your average filipino like u see in the street everyday and they are singing one of my favourite ranchera songs!!! wooooot!!!

I looked at the video clip. To me, and not to sound like arguementative on this. They do look a bit close to pinoys but they still look very mexicans to me, again with the built and the nose. Pinoys are generally small boned, and the noses are not as pointed as these guys. The video quality of what you showed doesn't really represent anything because the quality is bad, it's blurry, i should say.

[esagerato]

Not all mexicans have pointed noses, if you go to mexico, you'd notice that people there have mix looks, some have stronger indian blood, so they look more amerindian than mixed.. Likewise, not all filipinos have flat noses... so does it mean that a filipino who has a pointed nose, though he's not mixed, is not a filipino??

These are mexicans, yet their noses aren't pointed, though the mexicans in this pic look more indian nationals to me than malays...

yeah, i dont get it whats the big deal with pointed noses like he is talking that mexican are mostly european and even in spain some spaniards have big wide noses same in germany... example like babe ruth often being mistaken for african. lol

Still a bit more pointier than pinoys, it must be in a wider side but it is still alot bigger than pinoys. I know not all pinoys have flat nose. I don't have flat nose myself...

[crappypants]

taller nose is not just European trait, the indians in americas have taller, narrower noses and deeper set eyes, while the Indios in PHilippines or Pacific islands have flat rounder noses and smaller eyes.
