Many of their indigenous Filipino ancestors arrived in Mexico during the Spanish colonial period. For two and a half centuries between 1565 and 1815 many Filipinos or Mexicans sailed to Mexico and the Philippines as sailors, crews, slaves, prisoners, adventurers and soldiers in the Manila-Acapulco Galleon assisting Spain in its trade between the Philippines and Mexico. Some of these sailors never returned back to the Philippines. Most of their ancestors settled in, married local born native Mexicans and have since integrated with, and been incorporated into the native core of Mexican society.
