fair enough, but it's in our interest to learn and make contact with the people of LATAM. building bridges will create prosperity for both sides.

Likely some of the Native Americans in Lima, Peru may have had one generation of European ancestry, but those genetic traits have been diluted over the centuries by interbreeding with the indigenous people.

I edited the Wikipedia article on Peru-Philippines relations, since I discovered old documents showing that Peru and the Philippines traded with each other illegaly in Spanish times and even gave support to each other's independence movements, like the case of Argentina and the Philippines.

Philippines' connection to Latin America is through New Spain a.k.a Mexico. I doubt the Philippines had a connection to Peru in colonial times.

Peru traded with the Philippines illegaly and sometimes sent soldiers.

 

QUOTE:

During the colonial period, there was significant trade between the two colonies. But there were frequent shifts and reversals of the trade volumes. Following the Spanish conquest of the Philippines in 1560, the islands became a focal point of trans-Pacific trade between Peru and China. Large quantities of silver was exported from Peru, whilst luxury goods such as silk was imported from China via the Philippines. However, in 1581 the Spanish crown awarded monopoly to the port of Acapulco for the trade over the Pacific.[1] However, the traders of Peru continued to trade with the Philippines, in violation of the Royal Decree.[2] Gonzalo Ronquillo de Peñalosa, the governor-general of the Philippines, sent galleons to Peru in 1581 and 1582 carrying the message that trade with Manila was illegal.[2] Though illegal, the trade continued in secret. Benefiting from cheaper Asian goods; a commercial alliance between Mexico, Manila and Lima was formed against Madrid which imposed more expensive imports from the Spanish capital due to their forced monopoly. The smuggling of Chinese goods to Peru involved both Peruvian merchants and politicians.[3]

As of the early 17th century, there were significant imports of Chinese goods to the cities of Lima and Potosí. The peak year was 1602, when the imports from Asia was estimated at a value of 5 million pesos.[4] Meanwhile, Peru sent colonists and soldiers to the Philippines. In 1635 the former governor of Panama, Don Sebastián Hurtado de Corcuera, brought a large number of Peruvian soldiers and colonists to settle the Fortress-City of Zamboanga in the Philippines.[5]

In 1793 the Philippines Company was given permission to resume exports to Peru.[6] After the Latin American wars of independence, Peruvians were among the Latin-Americans which supported the self-proclaimed Emperor of the Philippines, Andres Novales, in his failed revolt against Spain.[7]
