Actually India is more densely populated than the Philippines, so dont point at the Philippines without looking at yourselves. And the good thing about the Philippines is food grows all around without any effort. But Filipinos are lazy so they leave the countryside where there's food growing all over the place and they get move to the crowded city and slave themselves for some fast food.

common Land density mean nothing.. what matters is arable land (to produce main crops to feed citizens).

India and Italy got equal population density in terms of arable land, China got more..and Philippines got twice as much as India do

well it looks like South Korea, Japan, Israel, and several other wealthy countries have a high population density per arable land, so that wont determine a country's wealth. Philippines is still wealthier per capita than India

Be realistic bro

Wealthier countries like Japan, S.Korea and Israel can import food as much as they want.
Philippines might've a bit more per capita wealth than India, but still a poor country...I'm not comparing wealth of Philippines/India/China at all, I'm concerned about basic food in poor countries which can't afford to import food unlike wealthy nations..

right. We use mestiza/o for anyone who has any noticeable European admixture. So they can be pure white and still get called mestiza. I have a Spanish friend who just moved to the Philippines. They call her mestiza

lol well technically the mestiza/o that is being used today is different from the mestiza/o that was originally used in the Philippines. Now, anything lighter skin they call it mestiza/mestizo (tisay / tisoy) and it's not only a european admixture because they used also to others like chinese, the mestiza/o de sangley or any other mixed foreign nationals that mixed the native. Actually, the mestizo/a is only those directly half and it doesn't cover the next generation & mostly they call them Tornatras those who are not half or combination of those 3, or unless the mestiza/o will marry full white or Chinese again so he/she can pass to the next generation but I think they only follow the Paternal status and the child will get the status of the father.

Because of this caste system even up today, our aetas still being outcaste and discriminated because they are the one that was being at the bottom.

I dont think most Filipinos use mestiza to refer to Chinese mixed, because people always contrast mestiza and chinitas.
