Most Filipinos are descendants of Malayo Polynesian people, in numerous subgroups, who came there over a thousand years ago from the area now southern Taiwan. A small percentage (1.5%) are of Chinese descent. And there are now small minorities of peoples from Europe, the U.S., Japan, India, Korea, Indonesia, and elsewhere. Filipino mestizos are people of mixed Malayo Polynesian and European ancestry.

Are Filipinos Malay race?
Yes, Filipinos are "Malay" by race definately, but not by ethnicity. Many people think that ethnic Malays are Malaysians, Indonesians, Bruneiens and Filipinos. On another hand, many people think that the Malay Race is ONLY Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei and the Philippines. For both are big misconceptions. Ethnic Malays, are centered around countries and islands south and west of the Philippines, excluding the Philippines itself. The Malay "Race" however, not only ecompasses the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei but ALL of Southeast Asia, all of Oceania (Micronesia, Polynesia and Melanesia), and the African island of Madagascar. So this means, that Samoans, Tongans, Fijians, Hawaiians, Filipinos, Vietnamese, Thai, Cambodian, Burmese and Africans from Madagascar are all "Malays" by race. NOT ethnicity. So are Filipinos part of the Malay Race? Yes, they are because Malay Race is simply an easier term for "Austronesian people", or the "sailing race". But are Filipinos ethnic Malays? Mmm...yes and no. By their origin yes, but as of today Filipinos do NOT speak Malay or a form of Malay as a native/national language. So no, Filipinos are not ethnic Malays. Malays don't even make a minority population in the Philippines. In fact, they don't live in the Philippines at all. The only Malays you'll find in the Philippines are probably tourists or overseas workers from Malaysia or Indonesia. That's all, no more.
