My dad is Ilocano and my mom is an Igorot from the Ebaloy tribe in the mountains of Baguio.

this question is asked alot here
my dad is from bulacan>san miguel>camias

mongo, welcome to the forum

oh hehe i didn't know

thanks

Dad - Kapampangan from pampanga
Mom - Tagalog from bulacan

my father is half ifugao, half ilocano. my mother is half chinese, half waray.

That makes me an ifu-canong chinaray.

bisayan

i wish i knew.

same here

all i know is my dad came from surigao city my mom is from iligan or something...

mom is bisayan from Cebu

all i know I lived Panpanga(sp?) and then Manila. but born in Manila.

dad - boholano
mom - waray

that makes bo-ray

IS Bisayan considered one large ethnic group? Because I know it can be broken up into Hiligaynon, Cebuano, Waray etc. But I hear more ppl just say they're Bisayan instead of being more specific. Why is that? Because you never hear Ilocanos, Tagalogs, and Bicolanos uniting under one ethinc group simply because they all live on Luzon. So why do Bisayans do that? There must be a really strong cultural connection.

my ethic group is malay..my ethno linguistic group are tagalog (father) and Ibanag (Mother).

i think only cebuanos are called bisayans because we cant see/hear the difference of the language of the two(but now cebuanos are called Bisdak by some to seperate the probinsyanos(non-cebu bisayans)..since cebu is a major city). warays and hiligaynons and the others are minorities in manila so they are called as bisayans too..but ilonggo arent since theyre too many of them here....

Huh arent Ilonggo and Hiligaynon synonymous to each other?

my pops is aklanon (visaya) and my mom is ibanag (similiar to ilocano)

My Father is Half Kapampangan and Half Tagalog but grew up in Bulacan. My Mother is half Tagalog and Half Chinese but also grew up in Bulacan making me Half Tagalog, 1/4 Kapampangan and 1/4 Chinese and 100% Bulakenyo.


Regarding the Visayan term I think all bisayan people can understand each other. Ilonggo and Cebuano people have some difficulty understanding each other's language but can still comprehend. And they all live in an area collectively known as the "Visayan Islands".

No not really, Im from Aklan and we speak kinaray-ah and i dont understand ilonggo, Cebuano, Waray, Surigaonon,etc i might catch a words or two when they speak or even understand some of the sentence but generally I cant communicate with them using kinaray-ah and them using their own dialects. That or perhaps they speak really fast that it sounded like it was a totaly different language to me.

my parents are both kapampangan. pwede po magtanong? anu po kaya origin ng surname na 'Suing'?

Sa Pinas ka ngayon no? ang galang mo eh lolz..nyway parang Chinese yung tunog nang "Suing" o Baka Malay di ako sigurado.

My mom is Tagalog from Nueva Ecija

My dad is Chinese from... well, I think originally from Hong Kong

Not too sure where

my mom is ilocano from baguio

my dad is ilocano from La, Union


and for me, I was born in La, Union also so thats makes me pure ilocano

Mostly Basque/Vasco.
1/4 Catalán.
Between 1/16 and 1/8 Bacoleño Ilongo-Chinese mestizo.
1/16 Dutch (one of my great-great-grandmothers was born in Batavia, Jakarta).
The rest is most likely Castellano.

I am only able to speak a combination of "Coño" English and Spanglish. I can understand some Tagalog, but it is almost impossible for me to communicate in pure Filipino (my parents don't speak it at all at home).

Mom's side:
41% Bicolano
9% Spanish

Dad's side:
31% Irish
13% Native American
6% German

^Sorry just felt like throwing in a little extra.

hehe, yep. my dad said my great grandfather was a japanese. but 'suing' doesn't sound japanese to me. middle name ko po 'guevarra'. spanish yun di ba?

my ethno linguistic group is Pangasinan since Im from their...ethnic origin...malay?

Dad = Ilokano
Mom = Pangasinan

Me = Davao Born, Grew up in Manila

akin antam so man pangasinan ey? inyanak ka ed davao balet....

mom is tagalog
dad is ilocano bisaya

wow there are alot of native filipinos. I was assuming people here were mostly american.

mom is from vallehermoso negros oriental
gramps is from pangasinan
grandma is from san carlos negros oriental and is half spanish

my dad is dutch

This is more like regional group

anyhow,

dad=Visaya > Romblon
mom=Ilocano, Ilocos Norte > birthplace of (fu-khead) Marcos Sr.

imbangat da ak, makatalos ak pero medyo makapoy ak mansalita. Minsan nabu-bulol na nga ako eh... napaghahalo ko yung dalawa.

1/4 Baguio Igorot (Ibaloi to be exact)
1/2 Ilocano
1/4 Pangasinense

Born in Baguio. =)

katribo ko pala si mongo. Since taga-baguio si mongo, I'm curious which family do you belong to? Carino, Carantes??

Quiangan pala si phichanad. =)

1/2 Bicolano, 1/4 Tagalog and 1/4 Bisaya

pareho ed syak namix ko may tagalog insan pangasinan...sika so man cocorrect ed syak lol makapabaeng

Can't you really get that "ey" out of the sentence?

Hehe.

I don't like it as much as I don't like the "ya" of some Ilocano speakers.

LOL

erpat: waray na lumpia

ermat: taga negros oriental

ako: tagalog pero future tausug hehehe

Akin ei? hehe... my mom said the Pangasinense dialect is beginning to be overtaken by the Ilokano dialect and its like slowly fading

I don't know about that. I hear more Pangasinenses speaking Tagalog than Ilocano.... but AFAIK, half of Pangasinan is Ilocano-speaking.

I never said ey tho

My mother is from Naga City in Bicol and my father is black

1/4 tagalog & 1/4 someone from leyte

Ilocos is huge

half Waray, rest is Ilocano, Ilonggo.

I guess Im part of the filipino ethnic group who are asian

tagalog / dabawenyo

born in sampaloc, manila
my mom's side is 1/4 spanish and 3/4 bicolana... i dunno about my dad's side though.. my mom wouldn't tell so i never really asked a lot.
but then we moved to sinait, ilocos sur and that's where i grew up.. nagmayat idiay o! taltalon amin! haha.

mom - kapampangan from pampanga
dad - bisaya from cebu

I have spanish blood from my mom and I'm not sure about from dad (if American or Spanish too) as I look Hispanic-Anglo (minus the blue eyes and blonde hair.)

I consider kapampangans as the most inferior tribe in the country (I hate my mom) and the bisaya as the most superior ones. So pagsumahon average lang ako. ahahahaha!

^kapampangans have superior culinary skills!

Shrek!...

just kidding... my father's a Bikolano and my Mother grew up in Manila... so I'm Tagalog/Bikolano... the only problem is I don't speak fluent bikolano language because I pretty much raised here in qc.

... but I can speak fluent tagalog with no ala-kris aquino-taglishing language... astig ba?
