Filipinos are now globally known all around the world as the Mexicans of Asia

It’s globally known everywhere and trendy. Any Filipino or non filipino will often say “Filipinos are the Mexicans of Asia and are basically brothers”. There’s so much content everywhere on social media about us being basically Mexicans. We’re equivalent of Mexicans but in Asia. Just look at our culture, language is similar, skin color, genetics, food. Most Filipinos look Mexican also because our ancestors (Spanish) are the same. We’re Filiprimos! We’re nothing like South East Asia we just look like any other Latino Hispanic country. Most Filipinos look Latino/Mexican!

Update: I went back to the Philippines recently and so many people even kids were saying we were the Mexicans of Asia when I would say im half Mexican/fil. What do you guys think of this? There’s even a popular Chicano cholo culture over there everyone be dressing up like cholos
