What's Your Heritage? ... Where Ya From?

I was born in Aliltagtag Batangas Philippine. Came to San Francisco when I was 3 1/2 years old in 1974.
Just got my Ancestry results a couple of week ago and apparently I’m 66%. East Asian and 26% Polynesian. No wonder I love to fish. It’s in my blood!!

Anla eh, ano ga? Kumusta na ga, kabayan? We should meet.

Born in Tanauan, Batangas, Philippines. 60 miles south of Manila. Pure Pilipino.
Came to US in '88 with my wife and 3 boys. Was CIA for a while, then turned US Citizen afterwards.
Just saw this post a few days ago and started reading it from the start.

Found it enjoyable and very interesting.

1st paragraph is addressed to Ding A Ling and just shows how we spoke in Batangas, certain "accent" that is, and just means "How are you, Ding A Ling". With that, people can tell on the spot that we're from the "Batangas" area aka "Batangueño".


Thanks for reviving the post.

Just regular Pinoy here. Though the last name Noriega thought to be south American descend.

Not Spanish?

Thats what I thought too since we’ve been colonized for 400 years. Until my grandma told me that Im only third Generation Noriega. So thats way too late during the spanish colonization. Believe it or not my dads Name is ANTONIO NORIEGA.
