Demographics of the Philippines by other sources
So long after this creation of Demographics of the Philippines by other sources, it still doesn't cite sources becuase there are no sources that corroborate the misinformation. That's why it had to be taken out of the main article. It's was created on the presmise of considering other "claims" made regarding the racial make up of Filipinos. However, should the article not have be based on whether any of those "claims" could actually be substansiated by any shred of evidence, other than wishful thinking? All sources attest that the demographic reality of the Philippines is another one, not the one presented on this article. As it is, it's amazing that this article has had such a long life.

 * Delete, A blatant example of an article based exclusively on "original research". And I'm being generous by calling it "research", because if we're honest about it, it's an unconfirmable opinion. Al-Andalus 06:23, 24 November 2005 (UTC).
