#coz it was during the spanish occupation so the names got spelled in a Spanish way

so weird seeing chinese ppl who have basically the same family name as me but without being ran thru a spanish orthography filter
#vic.txt#the names of filipino chinese are spelled differently depending on if ur ancestors arrived before or after the 1800s#coz it was during the spanish occupation so the names got spelled in a Spanish way#im one of those ppl hashtag fujian forever and my name is relatively. “whole”? compared to other chinoy surnames#and by that i mean the spelling is closer to modern pinyin than the spanish orthography#so seeing ppl w basically the same name is like ah.. so close yet so far
