They're the small minority that remained white by marrying other Spanish-Filipinos or other Europeans that came to the Philippines. In the 1800s, British, French, Swiss, and German businessmen and even whole families moved the Philippines and mostly married the Spanish. Spanish-Filipinos also married Americans when the Philippines was a US territory, but I dont think any of the families in the first post have married Americans. They're mostly just Spanish descent.
