Can this athlete pass as Pinoy? Or only as a mixed one?

As a Pinoy Hapa or a local Austronesian Pinoy?

I'm referring to the new pics and only pic 1 passes up as South Indian without any Filipino admixture.  Pic 2, he could pass up as Filipino Cholo and pic 3, Filipino Indio.  Pic 4 was baffling to me, he could pass up as a Filipino Indio or Filipino Cholo or an atypical South Indian because I do see South Indian admixture. I would have to see a video of him instead.  

 

Bangladesh

Does Cholo means someone who is 3/4 indigenous and 1/4 European? Are you using Spanish racial terms?

Here are some videos of him.  Can he still pass as Pinoy (whether mixed or indigenous) or not?:

Nope not Bangladesh. You are getting very close now though.

thanks, video mention that he's Indian from country India but he doesn't look typical Indian on some pics.  Cholo refers to 3/4 Indigenous and 1/4th European although classification system was originally referring to Native American Indians and Spaniards in particular.

Is the term Cholo also use as a racial term in the Philippines? I never heard of it until you use it in this context.

From the videos, does he pass as a Pinoy who is 1/4 Euro? He cannot pass as a pure/indigenous Pinoy in the videos right?

He isn't from the mainstream Indian populations such as Punjabi, Gujarati, Bengali, Tamil, etc. but from an ethnic minority. He is a Khasi from Meghalaya.
