Not really. It's use is not as widespread as English, but a lot of Spanish words have been the basis for some Filipino words and phrases. No on the goat punching. So you mean to tell me that Asian-looking people with Spanish surnames speak English? Wow. Sometimes Japanese, or Korean, depending on their fandom.

Why are Filipinos NOT considered Asian? Have no idea on how to answer that. Like... you got Japan, China, and Korea, which I guess you can put together in terms of how closely they look. The you have the Middle East. There's also India. And then there's Indonesia, Malaysia, etc... Basically, Asia is just one huge place full of different ethnicities and cultures, so I can't see why Filipinos aren't considered Asian, and geographically we are. Culture-wise, I suppose I could say from observation that we've been influenced by America and Europe, but that's hardly uncommon in the history of other Asian countries, more or less.

It was named after a ruler, but no with regards to the question. Don't see much discrimination on Filipinos here. That'd be odd, Filipino discrimination in the Philippines.

Is it true Mexicans and Filipinos are just the same thing? They just say their different to confuse white people?

Why is Filipino spelled with an F instead of an Ph? Because Family here is Pamilya. Filipino can also be pronounced as Pilipino, but it's not that common anymore.

If you are Filipino you may be able to speak tagalog. What does this mean? Parang ganun! My gf sometimes text me tagalog words and I never know what she is talking about.

Let's get the obvious question out of the way: Do you know Pacquiao? Well, he seems to be on TV a lot. Aside from the boxing, there seems to be a game show, but I'm not sure if its that or a talk show. And there's that "album" he had years ago.

As a matter of fact, nagsasalita ako ng Tagalog sa pag di ako nandito. Ginagamit ko dito and wika ng Ingles, pero Filipino and pagsalita ko. Anyway, parang ganun in English is "something like that" more or less. Delicious stuff. Just had one a while ago - two, actually. Kind of meaty, kind of juicy, kind of refreshing like soup. Soft stuff, softer than a hard-boiled egg, though more flavorful even without salt. A bit messy since cracking the egg shell releases the juices, which is quite a treat. The yellow yolk-y parts and the soft boned fetus is an interesting combination of textures. Honestly, when you consider the creation of alcohol, which ferments ingredients on purpose, and look at all the other methods of preparing food all over the world, balut is pretty normal.
