Here's some info from wikipedia regarding Paquito Diaz.
Francisco Bustillos Diaz, who is better known by his
screen name Paquito Diaz (born
May 28,
1945 in
Pampanga,
Philippines), is a veteran
Filipino actor and
movie director who specialized in
action and
comedy. His father was an
American citizen of
Mexican (
Spanish and
Native American) descent. His brother, the late
Romy Diaz, and children
Joko and
Cheska are also actors.
Like many of us from the Philippines, we can trace our origin to Spanish ancestors. That's why there are many Filipinos who look like Mexicans.
Besides, I believe Spanish was the medium of instruction in the Philippines before. Our national hero even wrote his books in Spanish. I really love "Noli Me Tangere" and "El Filibusterismo". Pacstraight and Julius, have you read those books already?
