== about Mestizo category == 

 To: lagalag! Why is the Mestizo category, removed all the time?? when in fact most of the SpanisH-fILIPINOS listed here are 100% Mestizos! Why don't you removed the Mestizo category in the Tornatras category, since most of those people listed are not even European looking. Mestizos are supposed to be European looking.  
 :Gonzalo, most does not equal all or by necessity. Please do not try to exclude Philippine citizens those who indeed are of unmixed Spanish ancestry—people like yourself. Moreover, Spanish mestizos are mentioned in the article as a subgroup. Should you wish to expand that section, no one is stopping you; in fact, it would be very much appreciated. 

 :As for the Tornatrás, it does not matter whether or not they look Spanish, as technically they still are mestizo, defined, according to the Mestizo article, as “people of mixed European and indigenous non-European ancestry (emphasis added).” Genotype does not completely determine phenotype. —  
 ::Correction: They still had been mestizos. I just realized—and even the Tornatrás article states—that the term ‘tornatrás’ has long fallen into disuse, much like ‘Negro’ has in the Americas. Unlike ‘Negro’, however, almost no present-day Filipinos are even aware of the existence of the word ‘tornatrás’. —  

 == Need Clarifications! == 
 This article is confusesing and it needs 100% clarifications. It should provide accurate details on who is actually is a true Spanish-European Filipino in terms of genetic blood; and who is Spanish-Indigenous Filipino in terms of language and culture. The Spanish Filipino article is focusing on just unmixed Spanish Indigenous Filipinos who are hispanized.   
 :The initial paragraph states that Spanish-Filipinos are “Philippine citizens of Spanish descent, regardless of ethnolinguistic affiliation, and including, but not limited to, mestizos.” How could it possibly get any clearer than that? And no, just because someone chooses freely whether to adopt Spanish, Japanese, German, Italian, or American customs does not by necessity turn him or her into a Spaniard, Japanese, German, Italian, or American. —  
 ==The number of Philippine citizens of Spanish ancestry== 
 I derived the figure of less than 1.5 million or less than 1.8% of the population from the Filipino mestizo page. Since we do not have the exact figures, I believe the infobox should retain the previous stated figure. —  
 :I derived the current figure—3.5 million, or 4.1% of the total Philippine population (85 236 913)—from the infobox in the Spanish people article. Changes are welcome should more reliable sources be available. —  
 Hey, I think 4.5 million is pretty high for a 'seemingly invisible minority, any sources?—  

 :::I think that proportion (4.1% of the total Philippine population) is fair. I study in La Salle-Taft and almost half of the entire campus is made up of Spanish Mestizo looking people. Not only that, La Salle-College of Saint Benilde as well as Ateneo de Manila are also full of Spanish Mestizos. So I think it's really closer to what is really seen. —  

  
 ==Language== 
 In which contexts do Spanish-Filipinos of this day and age speak Spanish, English, and Filipino? —  
 :::Most Spanish-Filipinos nowadays don't speak Spanish anymore - except those who are old, who speak it among themselves (I occasionally hear my relatives) - other than that, they usually speak either English or Filipino. My Mestizo classmates in La Salle usually speak English (or to a lesser degree, English infused with Tagalog). I've never met any Mestizo who is under 40 speaking or knowing how to speak Spanish. —  

 ==Roman Catholics== 
 “Overwhelmingly” may have read like an exaggeration or was just a bit too much, so I just put “Predominantly” instead, following the usage on the infobox on German-Brazilians and others. —  

 == escalante == 

 is that the name of a Filipino-Spanish family? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by   00:36, 7 January
