Eh not really. Half white/black/whichever colour kids could be bullied in Taiwan as well. I wouldn't be surprised if the situation is less severe here but that doesn't mean blatant racism is unheard of.
Half of anything are bullied anywhere in the world. Being mixed race in a mostly monoracial world isn't easy at all
the hispanic culture seems to be more accepting of mixed races / marriages? I guess similar to Filipino culture?
most asians would be insulted to be mixed with so many different groups like that, I noticed Filipinos often inter-marry with black people or white people, and less with another asian ethnic group.
possibly because of more similarities in Western culture , customs and religion, plus language, most filipinos can speak English.
Lol thats not true, the highest amount of mixed people in the Philippines are half japanese

Perhaps because as outsiders looking in we can't distinguish between the different Asian ethnic mestizos. A recent child of a Korean, Chinese or Japanese DNA contributor will look like the progeny of the Chinese many generations down the line and the children assimilate. Where as the progeny of recent African, Black American or other European are more likely to stand out to us.
I remember the kids in school use to name all the different ethnic groups they are mixed with like they were actually proud of being mixed?
I knew a hispanic guy from Mexico that used to tell me all the different races he was mixed with like he was proud of being mixed?
You wanted him to be ashamed and hide under one label that excludes all the other parts that makes him, him even though that isn't reality?

It doesn't includes everybody, but for the most part yes. People aren't as hanged up about that, but they are more scrutinizing when it comes to your education level, whether you are a professional or not, etc.

They need to work on that. Remember that the issue isn't what they are, but rather the people surrounding them and their ideas of how things "should be." Reality check: things don't always go according to plan or how people think they "should be," they evolve on their own account irrespective of what anyone thinks.

There are many Filipinos that still hold in high esteem being Spanish or of Spanish descent even if it isn't the only ancestry you have. A few years ago I had a medicsl energency and several of the nurses were Filipinos. One day one asked me if I'm Spanish (as in descend from Spaniards.) I had my cellphone with me at that timr, so I simply open my 23andme account and handed to her the phone showing the ancestry part. Didn't had to say a single word. I'm certain she told all the other nurses, especially the Filipinos like her. Guess what happened after that? All I will say is that I noticed a difference in treatment in a good way coming from them. On the dsy I was dispatched, a Filipino nurse that attended me only two days and wasn't assigned not even to the part of the hospital I was in, as soon other nurses told her I was being dispatched (this is typical, people will also recognize me while I have no idea who they are, lol) that day rushed to my room simply to say good bye.
If it wasn't for the fact The Philippines is so faraway, if that is a sign of how Filipinos are in general regarding this, I would had seriously condidered the place to live permanently. Certainly Manila would be among the top of that list.

Actually its quite easy to pick apart those mixed with chinese, korean, and japanese from each other. Out of those 3 , the ones who are half korean look the most northern and the least filipino.

I hear that all the time but I can't tell without hearing the family name. Folks on the streets attempt to communicate in their local dialect with tourist from all over Asia.
