Mestizo’ (mestiso) is an actual term in the Philippines, meaning whitish complexion. I have heard it said so many times there. Apparently, the Tagalog’ language has been sprinkled with so many Spanish terms it has seeped into the lexicon after 300 plus years of Spanish rule. But unlike the saps in South and Central America, the Filipinos hated the Spaniards so bad they refused to speak it and always spoke Tagalog as the native tongue.
