Mexico is the greatest! The mother country and protector of the Philippines has always been Mexico.Originally Posted by Carlito's Way
We were always devastated because we were a constant war zone yet mother Mexico spent half her treasury subsidizing the Philippines...
During its rule, Spain quelled various indigenous revolts. There were also several external military challenges from Chinese and Japanese pirates, the Dutch, the English, the Portuguese and the Muslims of Southeast Asia. Those challengers were fought off despite the hostile forces having encircled the Philippine archipelago in a crescent formed from Japan to Indonesia. The Philippines was maintained at a considerable cost during Spanish rule. The long war against the Dutch from the West, in the 17th century, together with the intermittent conflict with the Muslims in the South and combating Japanese-Chinese Wokou piracy from the North nearly bankrupted the colonial treasury.[147] Furthermore, the state of near constant wars caused a high death and desertion rate among the Mestizo, Mulatto and Indio (Native American) soldiers sent from Mexico and Peru that were stationed in the Philippines.[148] This left only the fittest and strongest to survive and serve out their military service. The high death and desertion rates also applied to the native Filipino warriors and laborers levied by Spain, to fight in battles all across the archipelago and elsewhere or build galleons and public works. The repeated wars, lack of wages, dislocation and near starvation were so intense, almost half of the soldiers sent from Latin America and the warriors and laborers recruited locally either died or fled to the lawless countryside to live as vagabonds among the rebellious natives, escaped enslaved Indians (From India)[149] and Negrito nomads, where they race-mixed through rape or prostitution, which further blurred the racial caste system Spain tried so hard to maintain in the towns and cities.[150] These circumstances contributed to the increasing difficulty of governing the Philippines. Due to these, the Royal Fiscal of Manila wrote a letter to King Charles III of Spain, in which he advises to abandon the colony, but this was successfully opposed by the religious and missionary orders that argued that the Philippines was a launching pad for further conversions in the Far East.[151] The non-profitable Philippine colony survived on an annual subsidy paid by the Spanish Crown and often procured from taxes and profits accrued by the Viceroyalty of New Spain (Mexico)

We're even closer to Mexicans in la familia terms than Spaniards.
The Filipino term for Father and Mother is Nauhatl in origin...
Our Mothers are called Nanay from the Aztec Nantli.
Our Fathers are called Tatay from the Aztec Tahtl.
In contrast, the far more distant term for Uncle or Auntie is Spanish...
Filipinos call our uncles and aunties, Titos and Titas from the Spanish Tio and Tia.
But brothers and sisters are Chinese in origin though...
Ate (Sister) from 阿姊/á-chí
Kuya (Brother) from 哥兄/ko͘–hiaⁿ
But the principle of life is Sanskrit in origin...
Filipino: Diwa from... Sanskrit: Jīva (जीव), meaning the principle of life, vital breath (Spirit; Soul)
However our terms for defeat and shame are Arabic...
Hiya Hayaa حياء, (To feel shame, Blush)
For all the great things Mexico did for us it's only a small matter if armies of Filipinos come to America to reconquer territories for the Great Aztlan!
If I did not commit to be missionary to Muslim Africa I would gladly go to Mexico to join the Reconquista. But I will tell Filipinos why we should scheme, fight and die for Aztlan.
