To the OP: Well, I agree with everything you said. I think the relationships section is the part that needs the most work since the Philippines didn't exactly have a positive relationship with its colonizers. People seem to think the relationships were romantic when they really weren't. I sometimes find it annoying when some ship her character with Japan. It makes me wonder if they even knew what Japan did to the Philippines in World War II.

"And this is my opinion : ======>She has the physical features of an Asian and a little bit of Latin (result of Spain's 300-year colonialization). Together, she has a small frame, but is curvy.
 * 1) How does colonizing someone affect their physical features?"

This is also just my opinion as well, but I think reason why most people who make Philippines OC's give her Spanish qualities is because a huge number of Filipinos have Spanish heritage. One example I can think of is America. The Native Americans were the first people in the US but he's white in the manga and anime since by World War II majority of the population was white.
