A Filipino podcast dedicated to expanding the mindset through healthy conversations & sharing of experiences. Photo of author and her cousins from 2019Throughout our youth, neither my cousins nor I opened up about the weight on our shoulders that came dating a mature filipina from our families. Whether it was the constant comparisons made between us by our parents, how the family drama made us feel, or the pressure and insecurities we felt after being body-shamed by our relatives in front of our peers, no one talked about their feelings.

That would explain the abrupt drop of otherwise high Chinese, Spanish and mestizo, percentages across the country by the time of the first American census in 1903. However, a ‘mestiza de sangley’ who married a blanco (‘Filipino’, ‘mestizo de español’, ‘peninsular’ or ‘americano’) kept her status as ‘mestiza de sangley’. An ‘India’ who married a blanco also kept her status as India, but her children were classified as mestizo de español. A mestiza de español who married another blanco would keep her status as mestiza, but her status will never change from mestiza de español if she married a mestizo de español, Filipino or peninsular. In contrast, a mestizo (de sangley or español) man’s status stayed the same regardless of whom he married. If a mestizo (de sangley or español) married a filipina , she would lose her status as a ‘filipina’ and would acquire the legal status of her husband and become a mestiza de español or sangley. If a ‘filipina’ married an ‘indio’, her legal status would change to ‘India’, despite being of pure Spanish descent.
