In the Philippines, it is stereotyped that luzon people(ilocano) are darker on average compared to other filipino ethnicities. So that would make sense, my mother is rather pale skined she is ftom visayas, her friend is from luzon(ilocano) and much darker then my momI travelled for 2 weeks around the Philippines (well only on Luzon Island) but the people I saw every day were darker skinned than that.
maybe you are confusing austronesian as chinese admixturePhilippines are a melting-pot nation since long enough ago.
The first pop's were of diverse Austronesian origins. Te pic's I see here show a dominating East-Asian input, rather Chinese IMO.
