Mexico is located in North America and south of Texas. The Philippines is located in Southeast Asia. The Philippines and Mexico does have something in common: Spanish Colonization. From 1565 to 1821, the Philippines was part of Mexico when Mexico was NEW SPAIN. And New Spain is now modern-day Mexico.
The real question is this, "Was Mexico New Spain"? But YES. Yes indeed. It began with the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire in central Mexico (the Valley of Mexico in central Mexico) in 1521. Meanwhile, Portuguese explorer, Ferdinand Magellan arrived into the Philippines in Asia and claimed the Philippines for Spain. In 1543, Ruy Lopez de Villalobos had named the Philippines "Las Islas Filipinas" (The Philippine Islands in Spanish) in honor of Philip II of Spain. Philip II was the KING of Spain and Portugal, but was originally born in Spain. And so, the Philippines was named after Philip II of Spain. Spanish colonization began in the Philippines when Spanish explorer, Miguel Lopez de Legazpi arrived in the Philippines from Mexico (New Spain) in 1565. From 1565 to 1821, the Philippines was a territory of New Spain, which IS NOW Mexico because when the Spanish conquered the Aztec Empire in Mexico, the Spanish had claimed the Aztec Empire as "NEW SPAIN". So Mexico became New Spain. Also, New Spain, including the Philippines in Asia, was governed by the Spanish from Mexico City (formerly Tenochtitlan). Mexico City was the capital of New Spain. Mexico City is also the capital, largest city, and federal district of Mexico.
The Philippines were part of the colony of New Spain and were governed from Mexico City.

The Philippines was governed by Spain through Mexico due to the colonial administrative structure established by the Spanish Empire. After Spain colonized the Philippines in the 16th century, the islands were placed under the jurisdiction of the Viceroyalty of New Spain, which was based in Mexico City. This arrangement facilitated trade and communication between the Philippines and the Spanish mainland, as Mexico served as the primary point of contact for Spanish colonial administration in the Americas and Asia. The direct governance from Mexico lasted until the Mexican War of Independence in 1821, after which the Philippines came under direct control of Spain.
