The population of Guam is predominantly Chamorro, the indigenous people of the island, but there is also a significant Filipino community. As of recent estimates, there are around 50,000 Chamorros and approximately 40,000 to 50,000 Filipinos living in Guam. This means that there are generally more Chamorros than Filipinos, though the Filipino population is substantial and impactful on the island's culture and economy.

Aren't the peoples of Guam primarily of filipino descent?
No, the indigenous people of Guam are not descended from Filipinos. They are called Chamorros. There are two things that should be considered though: 1. Guam, like the Philippine islands, was colonized by Spain. Because of this, we share the same colonial pattern imposed by Spanish culture. In many documents from the Spanish colonial period, Guam (and lesser adjacent islands) was referred to as the Marianas and many Filipinos were exiled there for perceived political offenses by the Spanish colonial authorities. Many Filipino exiles opted to stay in there and presumably intermarried with the native Chamorros. In this sense, it can be deduced that a significant portion of modern Guamanians are of Filipino descent. 2. Chamorros and the different ethno-linguistic groups in the Philippines all belong to a bigger ethno-linguistic group known as Austronesian. The same is true with most Indonesians, Malaysians, South Pacific peoples, indigenous Taiwanese and even the Malagasys (the indigenous people of Madagascar.) From this, we can say that instead of Guamanians being our descendants, they are our "cousins".
