Talk:Mexican settlement in the Philippines

Total Population
Surely the figure of 173 is preposterous!! Impossible to calculate how many Filipinos have Mexican ancestry but it must number many many thousands. Not worth putting a useless figure like 173 on here. There is muddying between Mexican nationals living in Philippines and people of Mexican ancestry who are Filipino. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.53.168.225 (talk) 22:19, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

Deleted following links:

Notable Filipinos of Mexican Ancestry

 * Ruy Lopez de Villalobos
 * Cassie Ventura
 * Nick Rimando
 * Jasmine Villegas
 * Arianny Celeste

These are not, any of them, Filipinos of Mexican ancestry. They are mostly Americans of mixed Mexican-Filipino ancestry. Not the same thing at all. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.139.85.173 (talk) 22:48, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

Fedor Jager
 "As a result, German ethnographer Fedor Jagor, using Spanish censuses, estimated that one-third of the island of Luzon, which holds half of the Philippine population, had varying degrees of Spanish and Latin American ancestry."

I would like to point out that this statement was not made by Fedor Jagor. This was sourced from The Former Philippines thru Foreign Eyes, an anthology of reports and essays made about the Philippines. The title Feodor Jagor's Travels in the Philippines does belong in the book, but it is not where this statistic comes from. It comes from a different title from the same book, People and Prospects of the Philippines, which in turn was copied from Blackwood's Edinburgh magazine for August 1818 (p.576). People and Prospects of the Philippines was an account made by a English merchant 20 years after his departure from Manila in 1798. Not written by Fedor Jagor.

This was probably an editor's error, in which they mistakenly assumed that The Former Philippines thru Foreign Eyes was written by one group of people and thus analyzed it as a single literature. I would just like to add that this book was edited by Austin Craig, the first Chair of the Department of History of the University of the Philippines.

I hereby suggest that we directly cite Blackwood's magazine, the primary source for this statistic. I also suggest to change or completely remove the statement in question, since it is entirely wrong in the first place.
