is it cuz u look more japanese than kayumanggi skinned pinoy? if u looked more darker pinoy, it would certainly be the opposite case as with other japanese filipinos ive encountered. in ph, the technique is always to use the local language with the usual accent and english codeswitching norms so u can dispel their thoughts that u might be foreign. you will notice it when they start to use pure english to you even when u know theyre not used to it when they think u might be foreign but since english is very normal in ph, you can quickly switch to tagalog or other local ph language and they will warm up to you fast. i myself am chinese filipino and look particularly chinese so when i stay quiet, people do it many times. sadly historically, it is the case for the historical japanese filipino community in ph as what you described that the war brought a heavy blow to the historical japanese filipino community, but i think you guys are too held back by fear of discrimination and are not confident enough to grab a hold of your japanese filipino identity in ph, since many opt to run away back to japan, whereas chinese filipino and even now, new generation of korean filipinos are finding success in ph, while japanese filipino is still rare and ambiguous...
