Half japanese filipina

Filipinos Filipino : Mga Pilipino [40] are the people who are native to or identified with the country of the Philippines. Filipinos come from various ethnolinguistic groups that are native to the islands or migrants from various Asia-Pacific regions. Currently, there are more than ethnolinguistic groups, each with its own language, identity, culture and history. The modern Filipino identity, with its Austronesian roots , was mainly influenced by China, the United States, and Spain. During the Spanish colonial period the term Filipino was used to classify Spaniards born in the Philippine islands, while the indigenous Austronesian peoples of the islands were called Indio.
