I'll start. Well technically I was born in U.S :P i often go to the Philippines every summer.. but I never really lived there. I have plenty of relatives in the Philippines.
My family has been in Manila :O since the 1920's(grandpa moved there for school supposely, my dad said he came from somwhere.. i think it started with the letter B... can't remember..it's been a long time since he told me) and I can trace back about 5 generations with last names.

I was wondering because most of my filipino friends say they can only trace back about 3 generations, why is that? :O and it seemed like most of them moved to the U.S to get a money and a better life. o_O

You can trace your roots according to your surname

based on what i saw on our family tree the my family (paternal side) came from San Nicolas, Ilocos Norte around 1790s but the later generations resided in what is now Tagudin, Ilocos Sur... and the rest is history :P

i dunno about my maternal side

My Father was from Malilipot, Albay... and my Mother grew up in QC but she told me the origins of my grandparents are from Bulacan...

My mom's ancestor was from San Nicolas, Ilocos Norte, could trace back to 1800's

My dad's maternal ancestor was from Pulilan Bulacan, could trace back to only the 1800's

The most I can find is the one I already know of >_> <_<

and youre a F* king probinsyano yourself and a F*king ILOKANO? hehe!

funny..

my maternal great,great grandfather came from China-- grandmother-- Bulacan.

my paternal grandfather Madrid who married a Spanish mestiza.

what does make me?? chop suey!

whatever, you're a certifed gay loser

atleast i know where i came from... and i don't care where the fu-king arsehole your family came from...

you're still a cocklover who loves hanging out with homosexuals

Can only trace my dad's side back to bulacan, but my mom always jokes all the neighbors are my relatives meaning there are alot of kissing cousins.

so you must be one of us then, how the hell did you know where the homos hang out?hehe

bad combination,ilokano and waray? mongoloid ang labas!hahaha!

tapos wanabee tagalog pa.

Kung saan ka pinanganak sa Pinas dun ka di ba? At saka, hindi mo naman talaga kilala lahat ng ninuno mo eh. Mababakas mo lang siguro eh hanggang tatlong daang taon. May paa ang mga ninuno mo. Pwedeng galing sa Luzon yung lolo ng lolo mo na nagpa Visayas hindi mo lang alam. Basta Pinoy tayo yan ang importante. Tamang Hinala at Seebo mag kiss na kayo. Wag kayong mahiya. Baka magkamag anak pa kayo eh
