First "Filipinos"

The term Filipino originally referred exclusively to Spaniards and Spanish mestizos born in the Philippines. 

Espanoles-Filipinos -- children of Espana and Filipinas -- was how they specifically called themselves. Later the native upper class ofindios ("uncivilized heathens") and Chinese mestizos, believing that education and wealth gave them the cloak of Spanish culture, also began calling themselves Filipinos.
