Japanese beggar in Philippines

[sailormoon]

It's estimated that there are around a few hundred homeless Japanese expats in the Philippines. Most of them are over 60, who spent all of their retirement money (around $300,000) on Filipino wives. And they were abandoned by their Filipino wives after their money ran out and ended up homeless in Manila. The Japanese government does little to help them because their families back home think they got what they deserve after chasing after young foreign women.

For his classification, he has Ainuid influence for sure.

Ishikawa, leaning more on the Ainuid phenotype imo.

Seems like it would take a really long time to run out of $300k in Phillipines

Makes sense. I even know some half Japanese Pinoys here in Manila. This one half Japanese Pinoy I know has a Japanese father who married a Filipina and gave birth to him..then left him to be raised by Filipino guardian parents while they as the real parents stayed abroad working in Japan--the mother working in the entertainment industry in fact. But last year the guy being a Japanese citizen moved back to Japan and now works in a warehouse there making decent money and was able to buy a car while living with his mom and finding a new girlfriend there who was also a half Japanese-Pinoy. He's a pretty young guy too, just in his early-20s and pretty much grew up in Philippines as a Filipino.. These random Japanese men must have spawned quite a number of half-breed offsprings that many might not even be aware of.

During the Classical period some sources say that when the Spaniards reached the island of Luzon in 1571 they found Japanese colonies and settlements in Manila and in some parts of the Cagayan Valley, the Cordillera region, Lingayen, Bataan, and Catanduanes Island. They say that the relatively light complexion of the Bontoc and Banaue natives were probably a result of the early contacts the Japanese/Japanese-islanders from south Japan had with the natives of Cordillera.

During the Spanish era one source says this:

The Japanese population in the Philippines has since included descendants of Japanese Catholics and other Japanese Christians who fled from the religious persecution imposed by the Tokugawa shogunate during the Edo period and settled during the colonial period from the 17th century until the 19th century. A statue of daimyo Ukon Takayama, who was exiled to the Philippines in 1614 because he refused to disvow his Christian beliefs, stands a patch of land across the road from the Post Office building in the Paco, Manila. In the 17th century, the Spaniards referred to the Paco Area as the 'Yellow Plaza' because of the more than 3,000 Japanese who resided there.[13] In the 16th and 17th centuries, thousands of Japanese people traders also migrated to the Philippines and assimilated into the local population.[14] pp. 52–3

Many of the Japanese men intermarried with Filipino women (including those of mixed or unmixed Chinese and Spanish descent), thus forming the new Japanese mestizo community.[15] A sizeable population settled in Manila, Davao, the Visayas and in the 1600s in Dilao, Paco, and Ilocos Norte Province. This hybrid group tend to be re-assimilated either into the Filipino or the Japanese communities, and thus no accurate denominations could be established, though their estimates range from 100,000 to 200,000. Many were killed or expelled after World War II because of their alleged collaboration with the Japanese Imperial Army (mostly as translator). Many Japanese mestizos tended to deny their Japanese heritage and changed their family names in order to avoid discrimination.[citation needed]

Yea he seems to have strong Proto-Mongoloid traits/influences, like Ainuid. It seems so obvious looking at his phenotype.

The Clarifai ethnicity demographic app says this when I uploaded his pic lol:

Homeless Japanese in Manila refuses to go home



A Japanese citizen, who was seen wandering off the streets of Roxas Boulevard near Libertad last Tuesday, Aug. 6, reportedly refused offers of some netizens to fly him back to Japan.

The Facebook uploader of the viral video named Maribelle Ocampo, who regularly visits the man in the area, replied to a comment of a netizen who wanted to help the Japanese.

“Nalaman namin ini-sponsor na daw siya, pero ayaw niya daw po. Tapos ‘yung wife niya kinukuha na daw siya pero ayaw niya,” Ocampo wrote.

In the latest video uploaded by Ocampo, she asks Yoshino: “‘Yung asawa mo daw, kinukuha ka. Ayaw mo daw?”

The Japanese only shakes his head in the video and repeatedly says the word “embassy”. When Ocampo asks if he wants to go home, Yoshino answers: “Sige na please, sige na please.”

Most of what can be heard in the video are incomprehensible. Unverified comments of some netizens said he might have been wanted in Shimane Prefecture in Honshu, Japan and that it could be the reason why he refuses to go back. Others suspect that he is mentally ill. However, these are merely speculations yet to be confirmed by authorities.

Ocampo said that saving the homeless Japanese named Yasushi Yoshino will not be easy. “Hindi po madali talaga yun proseso kasi kung madali lang sana, kinuha na po talaga si Yasushi sa Japan Embassy,” she wrote in a comment.

Netizens are lamenting the condition of the man after seeing him in the video posted by Ocampo last Tuesday. He looks in distressed in the video with overgrown hair, clasping his umbrella for shelter.



As of posting, Yoshino is still in Roxas Boulevard, but he was picked up Pasay Team Rescuers for a medical examination in the Pasay General Hospital.
