If you mean Enrique Iglesias and Julio Jose Jr. are part-Filipino because their
mother was born and raised in the Philippines - even if her parentage, physical
appearance and demeanor is full Spanish - then so be it. What is the big
problem here? I worked at Elizalde Company in Manila where Isabel's father was
a treasurer.

Not because a person was born, raised and has acquired Filipino citizenship,
he/she is full-blooded Filipino. How about tracing the Preysler family tree
and see if there is Filipino blood in them. Filipino citizens, maybe yes, but
true blooded Filipino????? I DOUBT IT!!! There are a lot of Spaniards and
Chinese in the Philippines who are Filipino citizens, claiming they are
Filipinos, but their country of origin is not the Philippines nor does it mean
that they have any Filipino blood. The same thing with Filipinos who were born
and raised in the US and acquired American citizenship. It does not mean that
they are Americans. Their country of origin is still the Philippines. That
holds true with Isabel Preysler.

I understand that they have Malayan blood on the maternal side of the Preysler.

I think you are confused of what is a Filipino/na. Your concept of genealogy
sounds racist and real to me.

The same thing with Filipinos who were

>that
>they are Americans.

So again, who is the real American?

Their country of origin is still the Philippines. That

Ah, I know what you mean. You don't like to attach Enrique to Filipinos but to
Latinos for that is where the big market for him. Who cares Enrique, I don't
buy any of his music....asshole.

I've seen Isabel Preysler's picture and she doesn't look Spaniard (or white) to
me... Check out this website:
http://www.redkbs.com/club/personales/jiglesias/Biography.htm and see for
yourself...

Americans I understand. But to me Isabel looks like a Filipina to me,
although not like a typical one I might add. You seem to know her tree
fairly well. Can you enlighten us on exactly what her genealogy is?
I've been doing mine for a decade so I'd like to see what you have to
offer us.

Yes, they are, according to U.S. law. Filipinos, or for that matter any
nationality, born in the U.S. of parents who have a legitimate reason to
be in the U.S. at the time of birth do not have to be raised in the U.S.
to acquire American citizenship. They are natural-born Americans and
U.S. citizenship was acquired at birth.

I think you're having problems with language, but that's the way I
understood that part of your post quoted above.

> Their country of origin is still the Philippines. That

Test your theory: I was born in Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A., of immigrant
Filipino parents PRIOR to their naturalization as U.S. citizens. What
is my country of origin? What is my citizenship? Who became a U.S.
citizen first: mama pig, daddy pig or their dirty sick piglet?

In a nation whose population is mostly white, it is nice to
know who is like you that made it, this is a normal reaction
among minorities. It is not identity crisis. But then again,
I have nothing against Enrique, but I don't have any of his
music, so I don't really care.

Also posted earlier on Yahoo! by ejose1:

While it is true that Isabel Preysler grew up in the Philippines, she is not a
Filipina. Both her parents are pure Spanish from Spain. I forgot the first
name of her father but he was the Treasurer of Elizalde & Company whose office
was in Ayala Avenue in Makati. I used to work with Elizalde when I was still
in the Philippines and I used to meet them there. Although I am not sure
whether Isabel eventually became a Filipino citizen.

Hope this answers the question.

Amen! I couldn't have said it any better. God forbid if I ever were to
get famous for whatever reason. Hmm, maybe infamous? *L* But in any
case, I wouldn't want to be judged based on my ethnicity, nor would I
appreciate people riding on my coat tails based on my background.

Nope, at Illinois Masonic Hospital (inside the Chicago city limits).
That makes me a natural born windbag from the Windy City. I'm now a
naturalized Tejano that can sing Conjunto while munching on Serranos in
the shade of a Saguaro behind the Alamo.

Damn, right now I would kill for a gyro from Elston Avenue. And fried
breaded shrimp and frog legs from North and Halsted.

If my racial makeup determines what i am suppose to be, I would be a

What is a Filipino? If you were born in the islands called the
Philippines, you would be one.
The original inhabitants of the phillipine islands were not the
majority of the people living there today. So, who are you to tell
people who they are.
A friend of mine in LA works in a clinic where Enrique was treated
for an undisclosed minor problem spoke to him about his lineage. He
proudly claimed his Filipino Heritage. In magazine interviews, he always
claims his Filipno backgroud.

I can't agree w/ that entirely. Especially w/ The Phils. We're talking
about a country where even the inhabitants where defined (Primarily of
Malay stock) who have been in the archipelago for centuries before the
Europeans even set foot there. And it's not like a slew of Europeans
went there and mixed w/ every single existing native there. And this
happened more than 300 years ago which lasted up to ???? What, late
1800's?

Enrique Iglesias has a Filipino blood because his mother has filipino ancestry. The mother of Enrique Iglesias is not pure spanish in blood because her grandfather is spanish but her grandmother is filipina who is a native from Luzon, Philippines. Enrique Iglesias has many relatives in the philippines who are actors and actress, whose blood is filipino-spanish, like Neile salvador as known as Neile Adams in United States, the grandmother of Steven R. Mcqueen, Actor, Philip Salvador,actor and brother of Neile Adams, Maja Salvador and the rest I forgot. In some dimensions you are correct that there are filipino in the philippines that their blood are not filipino but only their citizenship make them filipino, But it is only very few because majority of the filipino-spanish citizens in the philippines are not pure spanish blood. they are already mixed with filipino blood by intermarriage of spanish and filipino. Philippines was colonized and part of Spain of more or less three hundred thirty three years (333 years) before world War 2. In my case I can say that my blood is filipino-spanish because the grandfather of my father is spanish but his grandmother is Filipino, in my mother's parents, they filipino with Spanish ancestry in blood.

Isabel Preysler has Filipino Blood like my great grandfather and grandmother. Isabel Preysler is a Spanish with a Filipino Ancestry from her grandmother. you know, the filipino blood is the combination of malayan, chinese and indonesian as it makes a Filipino blood.Similar to Japanese blood as it is the combination of Malayan blood and Russian blood as to make Japanese blood, even the native people in Japan as it calls "Aino" is to be considered as mixed with russian blood and malayan blod. that is why japanese is considered as most intelligent people in the world because they have Russian ancestry. I know what you mean that there are some pure spanish people living in philippines but they are very few, the majority are half spanish and half filipino in blood. you must read the allegory of the cave in Philosophy.

the grandmother of Isabel Preysler is pure Filipino whose ancestry is a native of Pampanga province in Luzon, Philippines and Samar-Leyte in Visayas, Philippines. The grandmother of Isabel Preysler belongs to a native people of the Philippines, that is according to the Family tree History of Isabel Preysler and the family tree history of the siblings of her grandparents. that is why Steven R. Mcqueen who is american actor/model, a second cousin of Enrique Iglesias Preysler whose Filipino blood is 25 percent.
