There's a lot of Foreign Traders also who decided to built business in the Philippines and you will mostly found them at the street
of Escolta, Manila where a lot of European Traders and some Chinese Merchant. Some of these Merchant or Traders during the Last Vintage of Spain
and American Colonial Era decided to settled and stay in the Philippines. My 4th great-grandfather was one of those traders.

Actually, I've never really visited. ALTHOUGH, this is kind of personal, but I believe I may have been conceived in the Phillipines as my parents were there doing missionary work probably about 9 months before I was born. I haven't asked them, didn't think too much about it, so I might have been there in a way. I'd like to visit too. I've met some Filipino maids in Singapore of family friends (my mother came from working class roots so her family didn't have a maid). I think originally they were like Indonesians but now a lot of them look more Chinese/SE Asian.
The Tinguan Tribe Women usually live in Basilan, Abra, Bohol, Zambales and other part of Mindanao

There's a drama-action TV series about our Indigenous Filipino before the Pre-Hispanic.

They all based the costume and the settings through history of our Indigenous Filipino "Nobles" or "Maharlikan" Austronesian.
