What is a Mestizo ?

The Mestizo? page has arrived !

Mestizo is synonymous with mixed race. However, I like to take it from the Filipino context. For that let’s have a look at history…

Back in March 1521 a Purtugese explorer Ferdinand Magellan under and crew were the first Europeans to arrive to the Philippines archipelago. This led to the Philippines becoming a Spanish colony on the 27th April 1565.

BOOM! The original Filipino Mestizo was born, a person part Spanish and Filipino.

The old school Mestizo is often is referred to a person of mixed Spanish blood and that of which ever country they were trying to colonise in the 1500’s.

Nowadays modern day Filipino mestizos include Filipinos of Spanish or Mexican origin, American or British mestizos, as well as Chinese mestizos, Japanese mestizos and others. And of course we can’t forget about the ultimate Filipino Australian!!!
