Do you know how many China people are in the Philippines?

According to statistics, there are about one million Chinese in the Philippines, and nine times out of ten their ancestors came from southern Fujian (Quanzhou, Zhangzhou and Xiamen). According to experts' research, among Chinese living in Southeast Asia, Thailand is the first place to be mixed with local races, followed by the Philippines. According to this study by anthropologists, among the Filipino people, Chinese people account for about 20%; The Philippines has a population of 65 million, and the number of Chinese may exceed10 million. In the past, due to the underdevelopment of Chinese education, most Chinese people rarely had the opportunity to receive Chinese education, and because they believed in Catholicism, they became pure Filipinos. A quarter of them are of China origin, and they became China people because they received an education in China. From the perspective of temperament and culture, there are about 600,000 to 800,000 Chinese in the Philippines who consider themselves Chinese, live in a Chinese society, maintain the traditional Chinese life and customs, join Chinese societies, speak Chinese or Chinese dialects at home and in Chinese society, intentionally let their children receive Chinese education, choose Chinese as the main marriage partner, and maintain the conditions and tendency to become Chinese. Among them, about 60% live in Metro Manila, and about 40% live in other places. If we add those that are close to many recognized China standards, or indirectly related to the origin of China, we will relax the identification standards. At present, the total number of Chinese in the Philippines should be over one million. Among all Chinese in the Philippines, more than 8% and 90% belong to Minnan people, regardless of whether they have been Filipinoized or not; The rest, about 10%, are mostly from Guangdong and rarely from other provinces. Minnan dialect (locally known as Fujian dialect) is the lingua franca of the Philippine community. Among the Chinese in Fujian, Jinjiang, Hui 'an and Nan 'an, which originally belonged to Quanzhou, are the most. Most of them live in Luzon Island, especially in the Greater Manila area, and their commerce, culture and education are also the most developed. Longxi, Haicheng (now incorporated into Longhai City), Tongan and other counties in Zhangzhou, as well as Xiamen and Jinmen, are mostly in Visayas, Central China and Cebu in Mindanao. Due to the increase of Taiwan Province citizens' investment in the Philippines, a large number of investors' families and management or manufacturing technicians have been employed in recent years. Chinese in the Philippines can be said to be all over the Philippines.
