[edit] Filipinos of Mexican descent

Filipinos of Mexican descent (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Absolutely no sources for this information other than personal thought. Very vague. I am a Filipino myself and this is farfetched. Anyone who knows the history of The Philippines knows this is innacurate and misleading. Jandela 10:11, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep Scholarly sources discuss the presence of Mexicans in the Philippines. See for example Holm, John A. (1989). Pidgins and Creoles. Cambridge University Press, 319-320. ISBN 0521359406.  According to that, a military garrison manned largely by Mexicans was established by the Spanish at Zamboanga City. The soldiers married local women; in 1870, about two-thirds of the people there could still speak Spanish, and even a century later, their Spanish-based creole language was still used in radio broadcasts, in schools as a medium of instruction, etc. Further sources in the Google Books search (most not viewable online) [1][2]. cab 11:28, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep, anyone who knows the history of the Philippines knows that under Spanish rule the trade route to Mexico was of critical importance and migration is always a part of that. Quezon appealed to a "racial bond" on his first visit to Mexico, for instance. Vigan is a "Spanish-Mexican" city. And so forth. --Dhartung | Talk 18:02, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
