I agree - "Asian" is just a term people use out of ignorance of the Filipino culture.

In addition to some of Jeanne's info, I'd like to add the fact that Phil languages/dialects are a part of the Malayo-Polynesian or Austronesian linguistic group, which says a lot about the indigenous peoples of the Phil.
