    FYI, The colonial period allowed for only black people to serve as slaves.. So the so called Asian of the Philippines that were enslaved were the Negritos of the Philippines, and not the Malay/ Chinese looking Filipinos... A lot of Filipinos think or want to call themselves Asian Latinos but they arent.... The spanish never taught them spanish, and the spanish for some reason or another didn't mix with their population the way they did in the Americas..America's... In Africa, the country of Equitorial Guinea, was colonized by the spanish. In Equitorial Guinea the people speak Spanish, not only do they speak Spanish but they speak the proper Queens spanish.... In the Philippines they speak a word or two, and cannot carry out a conversation in spanish.. They remi d me of parrots. They say a hundred Filipino words, throw in one spanish word, and call themselves Latino because of that... Again.. Only the black population of the Philippines aka the Negrito could legally serve as slaves... Sorry but again you guys are Asian... Accept it...

    Interestingly there’s the same tattooing culture in the Philippines but instead of Buddhist tattoos, they’re Christian tattoos called anting anting or agimat. Very similar cultural customs, such as rules of abstinence of human pleasure, like sex, food restrictions, and violence. While there is a tattooing traditions, the most common are amulets. Other forms are symbols on cloth, clothing, and certain plants and stones.

    The White European came to north America and kill off the native population. And now some White people dress up as native and like the native way of living and soon claim it is their history, culture and language...ect. The same as Siam people of today are saying and claiming. Siam are now claiming Tai, Khmer, Khom, Davariti...ect. It is like a thieve steal someone's property and then try to miss information to others not to let others know the real owner of the stolen property.

    Some people say that the Siamese or Thai people are not Mon and are not the owners of this (12th)region. But the results of DNA evidence indicate that the Thai people have Mon ancestry mixed in and match the population of the (12th)region. But the current Cambodians have DNA that matches the people on the island of Java, which is not connected to this (12th)region at all. And try to claim that the Thai people moved from Yunnan and then robbed everything from the Khmer people. How ridiculous.

    Thailand was formed from many kingdoms of people who spoke the Tai-Lao and Tai-Kadai languages. Each kingdom had a king who ruled both small and large cities. The unification was carried out through diplomacy, royal marriages, and war. It also accepted foreign ethnic groups as citizens. Don't be surprised that Thai people look very different. This is not an obstacle to uniting as peaceful allies and ready to protect each other.
