Their language is mixed with Spanish words. Many also have Spanish last names and are Roman Catholic. Many have Spanish heritage just like in the Americas. Hence why they are technically Hispanic.
Met many Pinoys in my life and not one has called themselves Hispanic, they usually say Asian or Pacific Islander

People can call themselves whatever they want to. It doesn't change the definition of Hispanic. Similarly is the use of the word Latino. Italians, Spanish, French, Portugese and some other Europeans don't call themsleves "latino" even though they have more Latin heritage than so called Hispanic people of Central and South America. Of course they realize Latin is a language not a race of people.
A Trumpling is what we refer to as someone who has a blind devotion to the orange Cheeto that is currently inhabiting the White House and calling himself "President". Their worship of the man is boundless and comes at the expense of all else, even the lives of their fellow Americans whatever the cost. YOU are a fine example of a "Trumpling".
Facts aren't hateful but the lies being spewed by you Trumplings here in this thread have very little to do with any facts.

Can you specifically point out some of those lies? I'm rather curious now what they are?

I was going to suggest he get a mirror, but your response is better.

That's what some of you seem to do best, name call. Sadly for people like yourself, name calling doesn't win debates unless you're maybe in the second grade.
Another little interesting fact about the Philippines and Spain is that the Islands were named Filipinas after King Philip of Spain. How much more Hispanic can you get?
Mexican activist groups fabricated the "hispanic" concept. It's a product of the Chicano movement of the 1970s.
The purpose of the term was to artificially make them into minorities so that they could qualify for the federal funding and minority benefits they wanted. Before the "hispanic" category existed, they were just part of the general white population, and they couldn't demand federal funding as white.
Affirmative action is the sole reason we call people "hispanic" today.
And since the U.S. government made up the word "Hispanic" they can change the meaning to include some people and not others as they wish and have done so since the 1970s.
You obviously didn't read the book!
Mexicans were behind it. They literally just made up the whole concept and the lobbied the government to include the term.
