Chamorros are not Asians. Chamorros are Pacific Islanders.
The idea of being an Asian (more specifically South East Asia) goes back to the history of the Orient: the Silk Road, caravans, Marco Polo, and Ferdinand Magellan are all indicative of the Orient. Trade for spices and silk (orient) with silver and gold (western world).
During this time, Guam was simply a supply station for the Spanish and not a trading center.
On the otherhand, the Phillippines is considered part of the Spice Islands that traded with Spain. Therefore, they are considered part of the Orient.
At one time, the politically correct word for a person from the orient was "oriental". Today, this word is not used. Today we say, "Asian".
