Filipinos are brown-skinned.

Race doesn't have to do so much with skin color as it does with region of origin, since there are very light skinned black people as well as very dark skinned black people. As a side note, race is a socially constructed idea that doesn't actually exist; there are no biological differences between the races, but it continues to be a lived experience and so persists today.

As for Filipinos, they are from the Philippines, which is a country in Southeast Asia, which would make them Asian.

Mexican is a nationality, not a race, hence you can indeed find black afro-mexicans, living mainly in the Gulf and Caribbean regions of Mexico.

As stated before, because Mexican is just a nationality term you can also find other racial groups in Mexico:

White Mexicans, descended from emmigrants from Europe and the United States, are frequently associated with Mexico's middle and upper class but you can find them on all social strata. They represent around 20% to 40% of the population.

Another race in Mexico is the Mestizo, which are a mix of Native American and white. This is your stereotypical "brown". Mestizos conform the majority of the population of Mexico, around 60 to 80%.

Finally, you can also find Native American Mexicans, which are a minority of the population, ranging around 2% of it.

As in the US, Mexico has recieved people from many parts of the world, so you can also find Mexicans of Arab descent (mainly Lebanese) and Mexicans of Asian descent (mainly from chinese and japanese diaspora).

As you can see Mexico is a diverse country.
