Energyplay, Re: "Filipinos" Not too many. Before the war there was a large Japanese colony at Davao engaged in the cultured pearl business but at the end of the war all the Japanese that they didn't kill they deported back to Japan, though every so often some "survivor" crawls out of the jungle. Spain and Japan didn't have a very good relationship and ditto the Americans who ran the show from 1898 so I don't think there was much contact. I know a guy who is half Japanese and there are certianly a few as the Japs pretty much did as they pleased during their occupation. And there are surely some now, up till 1990 there were a good many Japanese "sex tourists" but about that time the Manila government went to war on the sex trade and in a year Asia's #2 red light district in Ermita was no more.
