In the Philippines, Filipino Mestizo (Spanish: mestizo (masculine) / mestiza (feminine); Filipino/Tagalog: Mestiso (masculine) / Mestisa (feminine)) or colloquially Tisoy, is a name used to refer to people of mixed native Filipino and any foreign ancestry. The word mestizo itself is of Spanish origin; it was first used in the Americas to describe people of mixed Native American and European ancestry. The Chinese Mestizos being the biggest Mestizo population, while the Spanish Mestizo being less yet a very socially significant or prestigious minority. The creation of Filipino nationalism was very influential.

A period of Spanish colonization of the Philippines lasted for 333 years after a Spanish expedition in 1565 began. The Spanish colonization of the Philippines was made possible by the Roman Catholic Church.

Spanish missionaries contributed to a lot of things. The Spanish government studied the native Filipino languages and published the first dictionaries and grammars.

Roman Catholic rituals were adapted to native beliefs. European settlers from Spain and Mexico came to the islands and adopted the culture of their parents and grandparents, which led to the development of a folk Roman Catholicism. The majority of Filipinos in the Philippines are of Spanish descent. In addition, Chavacano, a Creole language based on the Spanish, is widely spoken in the region. Spanish era periodicals record that as much as one-third of the inhabitants of the island of Luzon possessed varying degrees of Spanish mixture. In addition to Manila, select cities such as Bacolod, Cebu, Iloilo or Zamboanga which had important military fortifications and commercial ports during the Spanish era also had sizable Mestizo communities.

The natives of the Philippines had traded with the Chinese before the Spanish arrived. The number of Chinese immigrants in the Philippines increased during the colonial period.

The Chinese were restricted by the Spaniards to a location near the lake. Most of the Chinese residents were traders.

Most of the Chinese who arrived in the Philippines during the Spanish period were Cantonese or Taishanese, who worked as laborers, but there were also Hokkienese who entered the retail trade. The Chinese residents of the islands were encouraged to convert to Roman Catholicism by marrying other native Filipinos.

Both native Filipinos and Chinese were encouraged to adopt one of the Spanish family names from the alphabetic catalog of surnames, introduced by the government in the 19th century.

The Chinese Exclusion Act of the United States was applied to the Philippines during the United States colonial period.

Many refugees who fled from China after the Second World War settled in the Philippines after the Chinese Civil War. The children of Chinese immigrants who were born in the Philippines after the country gained full sovereignty in July of 1946, became naturalized Filipino citizens.

Chinese Filipinos are one of the largest overseas Chinese communities in Southeast Asia. Mestizos of Sangley—Filipinos with at least some Chinese ancestry descended from the Spanish colonial era—comprise 18–27% of the Philippine population. There are roughly 1.5 million Filipinos with pure Chinese ancestry, or about 1.6% of the population.

The history of racial mixture in the Philippines was much smaller than other Spanish territories in the Americas after and during the 16th to 19th century. The casta system used in Hispanic America has some major differences.

Indios and negritos who lived within the colony paid a base tax, mestizos of sangley paid double the base tax, and Whites paid no tax.

The Philippine Declaration of Independence from Spain in 1898 abolished the tax system, and the term "Filipino" was used to include the entire population of the Philippines.

The Spanish implemented incentives to stop rebellion.

Persons classified as blancos (whites) and those with Spanish ancestry were subdivided into the peninsulares (persons of pure Spanish descent born in Spain); insulares (persons of pure Spanish descent born in the Philippines i.e. criollos); mestizos de español (persons of mixed Autronesian and Spanish ancestry), and tornatrás (persons of mixed Austronesian, Chinese, and Spanish ancestry).

People of Spanish descent living in the Philippines who were born in Hispanic America were categorized as Americanos. Mexicans and mulattoes who were born in Hispanic America in the Philippines kept their legal classification. Mulattos were usually indentured servants. Hispanic America's children of mestizos and mulattoes were classified based on their patrilineal descent.

The indigenous peoples of the Philippines were referred to as Indios and negritos. The term Indio was only used to refer to natives of the Austronesians who lived in proximity to the Spanish colonies.

Naturales were defined as people who lived outside of Manila, Cebu, and areas with a large Spanish concentration. The savages and infidels who lived in the towns were unbaptised Austronesians and Aetas.

The Remontados and tulisanes were people who went to the mountains and refused to live in towns. They were considered to live outside the social order because of the influence of Catholicism.

The Aetas were classified as ''negritos'' by the Spanish. Future European scholars would use the word term as an ethno-racial term. Both Christianized Aetas who lived in the colony and unbaptized Aetas who lived outside of the colony were classified as negrito. Christianized Aetas who lived in Manila were not allowed to enter the area.

Persons of Aeta descent were seen as being outside the social order as they lived in tribes beyond settlements and resisted conversion to Christianity.

Many travelers and public figures were impressed by the lack of racial discrimination in the Philippines during the Spanish colonial period, as compared to other European colonies.

Sir John Bowring was the Governor General of British Hong Kong and he had written several books about the different cultures in Asia.

During a visit to the Philippines in the 1870s, I described the situation as "admirable".

Frederic H. Sawyer was an English engineer who lived in the Philippines for fourteen years. The situation in the Philippines was not equaled by any other colonial power, according to his impression.
