Did you even read the links you provided?
So yes, the Catholic Church has been in East Timor since the 1700s, but the vast majority of the population was not Catholic until after 1975. They only coverted because Indonesia's government requires you to be part of one of the registered religions.The Church played an important role in society during the Indonesian occupation of East Timor. While just 20% of East Timorese called themselves Catholics at the time of the 1975 invasion, the figure surged to reach 95% by the end of the first decade after the invasion.

Some of my Filipino relatives who are in the "Chamorro range" of European ancestry, meaning they're 1/8th to 1/4th European
1.
She does not look European admixed at all. In fact, I would have guessed her as a Chinese-mixed Filipina before guessing her as having any amount of European
2.
Also does not look European in the least bit. But his dad does look mixed...
If all the European came from his dad, then dad is close to 40% European
3. Here's a relative who is outside the Chamorro range because he has too much European. But he doesn't look any different from a typical Filipino
But when he was younger, he did look mestizo...
4. This one lists all her grandparents as being from the Philippines. But it looks like she has more American ancestry instead of Spanish
Here's some non-relative Filipinos from 23andme subreddit who are also within the Chamorro range...
5.
6.
7.
And these don't have a large amount of European but Latino posters on here and on reddit have said they can pass as Latinas
8.
9.
10.
11.
So don't count on using phenotype to determine which Filipinos are mixed with European, because some of the most mixed just look like regular Filipinos, and some of the least mixed actually look Latino

Didn't know that I would genetically be a typical Chamorro.

Chamorro people
The guy with the big beard is actually half white. I've seen him talk about it in interviews. The surname Bevacqua is from his white side. One of the women looks white but comes from 2 Chamorro parents. So she's like the Spanish-looking Filipinos. Everyone else in the video would just pass as regular Filipinos. Even though they probably all have 1/8th to 1/4th European blood, it doesn't show much.

The type of Oceanian they have is probably not in 23andme's reference population.
According to the only study on Chamorros' autosomal DNA, they're on average:
43% (+/- 4%) Northeast Asian
29% (+/- 3%) Southeast Asian
4% (+/- 1.5%) Oceania
10% (+/- 3.5%) Mediterranean
7% (+/- 2.5%) Northern European
3% (+/- 1%) Southwestern Asian
3% (+/- 1.5%) Native American
https://www.guampedia.com/chamorro-d...amorro-people/
The same study found that Filipinos are:
56% (+/- 1%) Northeast Asian
36% (+/- 1%) Southeast Asian
5% (+/- 1%) Oceania
1.5% (+/- 1.5%) Mediterranean
Ironically, Filipinos are a bit more Oceanian than Chamorros are. But that's probably just because Chamorros are so mixed with white

I think Pinoy, and Recent European mainly Spanish admixture definitely brought some more West Eurasian like phenotypes to the Philippines. I Know many Filipinos that could pass as Hispanic (Mestizo)
