Seeing as you haven't elaborated as to why you're adding this kind of information, perhaps you could explain yourself here, where I've brought it up. Osiris (talk) 14:52, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

Could you please explain why you are adding such nonsense to these articles? Firstly, all of it is unsourced, but you've continued to it back in despite my requests for you to stop and source your work and without explaining why. In what world are Filipinos considered Malay?

.....i have added my sources. most of Philippines' ethnic Malays live in Visayas, Palawan and Mindanao. Spain didn't really touch those areas. Ferdinand Magellan was killed by Lapu Lapu, he was actually a Malay-Muslim. Those living in Luzon, are a mix of Chinese-descents and mestizos which is why i understand why they aren't really ethnic Malays. gotta remember...Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia's governments all have different defintions of an ethnic Malay. apparnelty my World Geography book labeled Filipinos as ethnic Malays not the race it didn't even mention the word Austronesian or Malayo-Polynesian. and believe me...I DIDN'T EVEN BELIEVE IT AT THE TIME. But Pacific Islanders and Madagascar Africans wouldnt really know what "Malays" are even by race. just like "Hispanic".....people from Spain dont know or like the term. the Singaporean government uses Malay as a race. now i mentioned a website saying that..."Filipinos are of Malay stock." This sounds like the race, but if you read further down it breaks Filipinos down by religion. it reads as "Christian Malay x% Muslim Malay x% (sorry got lazy, didnt feel like looking up percents). if it was referring to the race...then it would NOT read as "Christian Malay" or "Muslim Malay". now see, i took down the Philippines from the populations box because Filipinos don't speak Malay, and Filipinos are somewhat too westernized than its neighboors south. the reason why i still have Philippines however in the general info along with Brunei and Malaysia is because the Spanish and Japanese governments kinda didnt let us live our ways before. in contrast, the Dutch and British weren't concerned with convering Malays to Christianity or taking away their language. in fact from what i generally read before, the British even hired Malays to rule Singapore. yeah....Spain didnt do that with Filipinos. does this make sense to you or would you llike me to explain more?

And let's be honest here. no i actually DON'T believe that 95% of Filipinos are ethnic Malays. maybe the people who typed my World Geography Book made a typo or something. this also another reason why i removed the Philippines from the Significant Populations box, is because if Filipinos are ethnic Malays, then "95%" simply CANNOT be true. it simply can't, because theres too much mestizo, Hispanic-descended and Chinese descents (Chinese is uaual though) from Luzon. in fact, nearly all of Luzon is populated with Mestizo and Hispanic-descended or Chinese-descended, that you know, that CANNOT BE 95%. so yeah you know Filipinos are ethnic Malays but HOWEVER certainly not 95%. more like 70% ethnic Malays...but as you said, there is NO proof or sources for that. so im simply took out Philippines from the significant populations box but i did leave the Philippines where it mentioned the countries that they live in at the beginning of the article. the reason why i put a population of the 83,000,000 in the Philippines was because on page 987 my World Geography Today book said that 95% of the Philippine population are ethnic Malays. so i simply took the total Philippine population and calculated by 95%. it also mentioned Malaysia being 60& and Indonesia being 40%. Malaysia/Indonesia having a 40-60% ethnic Malay population is DEFINATELY something I can believe. but just not 95% for the Philippines. so as i said would you like me to explain myself some more?

In the old world, Filipinos were considered Malay. All of people in maritime Southeast Asia, which today is simply Austronesians. PacificWarrior101 (talk) 16:12, 24 March 2012 (UTC)PacificWarrior101
