Why does it seem like Filipinos show much more interest in Spanish/Hispanic and American culture than in their precolonial culture and history?

The Pacific Islands are part of our Austronesian history, I suggest all Filipinos reconnect with our lost relatives globally. 

I don't ever recall myself talking about Hispanics at all. 

Millions of Filipinos will go watch Pacquiao vs Mikey Garcia this winter 2021 but only 10 Filipinos will watch Pacquiao vs Erik Morales. why do you ask? because Filipinos have seen Pacquiao vs Erik Morales a thousand times. 

If you did not get what I meant, it means that Malay history has been overplayed for us. 

Well, we grew up with hispanics and Americans friends. Latinos live right next to us. 

There is 628,000,000 of us in South America. I guess filipinos want access.
