@Quixina that's the thing. the east asian countries supposedly have such high education systems over much of its population yet when u meet someone from there, u quickly understand that a lot of them live in a bubble and they only generally know some stuff but not other details that were left out from their system that they mustve deemed below them. in east and southeast asia, thats about the only thing taiwan knows about the philippines is that its it's neighbor and perhaps a few poor migrant workers people there have met from ph, otherwise, they dont know much tbh. they're too focused on china, japan, US to know much more about their very next door neighbors lol. also, latin american nations also have limited knowledge about ph besides just about shared spanish colonial era history. do u know our demographics? i know as much compared to mexico, our mestizo pops are historically the opposite makeup. in the philippines, we historically had a lot of chinese mestizos instead of spanish mestizos and even today, there are many chinese filipinos, of which most are of hokkien descent, same as most taiwanese. I can say the same things taiwanese say that Stephen Young mentioned there above. we are ethnic Han Chinese, some of us do know how to speak Chinese (Hokkien and/or Mandarin or even Cantonese), eat Chinese food, raised in the Chinese Filipino culture and Chinese Filipino education system, which mind you, is also regarded as a strict upper achiever kind of education system within the philippines. You call that not Chinese ??? Yes, I can choose to call that "not Chinese" or "Chinese Filipino" and that is the truth of it. we even have a few spanish loanwords in our hokkien chinese like pa-la from Spanish paga, or ka-pé from Spanish café, or go-ma-thng for bubblegum from Spanish goma + the hokkien for candy, or go-ma-ue for rubber shoes. your usual pleb taiwanese, dont know these things and many dont know we exist. chinese mainlanders from china included.

@The_Art_of_AI_888 there's no fooling here. it just sounds like you arent familiar with the realities of overseas chinese communities. thats why we call mainlanders as mainlanders. we may be ethnically han, but most are citizens of their countries born and raised there several generations over. many of whom are only partial to half to majority to pure blood ethnic chinese. and many dont even speak any chinese language at all or only a few bits of it as a fourth or third or second language. only a few have it as a native first language. and im talking about southern chinese languages like hokkien, cantonese, teochew, hakka, hokchew, hinghua, taishanese, not mandarin. mandarin even more back of the line. you can fool yourself and believe whatever you want, but you can never change the truth, the fact, and the reality of who people are, where they were raised, their languages, and their ethnic makeup they were born with. pure ethnic chinese are still a minority within my country's overseas chinese community and that's a fact. as for me, i have never lived in china nor have chinese citizenship, whether PRC or ROC and that is true too of my parents and one of my grandparents, and i am majority if not pure ethnic han, born and raised in my country, as do my peers and their parents and even all their grandparents and some even their great grandparents. some even up to their great great great grandparents and that's not a joke. our national hero himself has such background
