@octavine Spanish language was encouraged in the Philippines. It was the language of the Revolution (¡Viva Republica Filipinas!) The First Philippine Republic had Spanish as its official language (Americans ended it). Read about the Malolos Constitution & Premio Zóbel. Instituto Cervantes records show up to 20% spoke in by 1910's. In the early 20th century Spanish flourished & grew in the Philippines. The introduction of English and abolishing of Spanish by the Americans that stopped its growth.

@DonMiguel1810 Many "indios" (because the term filipino only applied to peninsulares) weren't very protected. However there was little bloodshed in the Philippines compared to the Americas. Intermarriages between the Spaniards, particularly with the Chinese, were encouraged, mainly for wealth. Unlike the Americas, the Chinese were the wealthy ones in the Philippines, and many Spanish-Mestizo families come from Chinese backgrounds (Aquino, Arroyo, Cojuangco, etc.)

@DonMiguel1810 Also the Polka and the Valse (Balse) where brought by the Spaniards and Latin Americans, that was my mistake.

@DonMiguel1810 The principalía were not just nobodies in Spain. José Rizal's family was of the principalía class, this class owned large amounts of haciendas (sold tobacco and coffee) and traded goods from China to Mexico (jade, porcelain, silk). Many of them studied in Europe. A Spanish Prime Minister was of principalía class, Marcelo Azcárraga Palmero, he helped restore the House of Bourbon. The Zobel de Ayalas, wealthy Filipino family, derived from the House of Alba in Nothern Spain.

@DonMiguel1810 Actually there is an historical Spanish document citing that around 30% of people in Luzon were of mixed Spanish descent. Now that's only in Luzon, the numbers would've been smaller. As a whole I'd say around 7% to 10%.
