This is kind of a toss-up as far ancestry and last names go. From what I've learned in school there, it's our version of a melting pot. I can't rule out the thought of last names as basis for taxes and govt purposes but considering how indigenous the system were in rural areas, it may probably be the case but not ENTIRELY dedicated to it.
For ancestry, the Spaniards, Chinese, Japanese, etc. had a lot to do with our Pinoy culture. From language, food, traditions to names. it's just a lot of influence from these colonizers, but primarily from the Spaniards. These foreign cultures may have hooked up with the Mayan settlers and those actions could have invoked a sense of melting pot.
Don't @ me or anything haha, but a plausible truth that my Filipino-Chinese friends and a bunch of grown ups have told me that it was actually the Chinese descendants that had to adhere to Spanish customs. To make last names long and sound "Spanish," Chinese migrants had to combine Chinese last names.
Ex: Cojuangco -> Ko-Wang-Ko
Rich and notable families like the Ayala family (they own most of Makati and BGC Fort) lived in Cebu when they started then moved to Manila. Cebu is where Magellan first landed ala-Columbus. He got washed by Lapu-Lapu though

Idk if it's common tradition here in the States but in the homeland, "My Way" is actually THE last song to end a karaoke session or a party. It's true that you gotta go all out and score a 100 or you'll get s****** on LOL. Sometimes they'll make you pay for everything
That's why no one sings it until the following morning when it's time to WRAP S*** UP!

Tito Drinking is no joke, it's a way of life! A test of will and... sobriety.
Learned the hard way when I was first introduced to some Man Drinking. They paced the hell out of the drinks while my noob self kept wondering and chuggin drinks in front of me.

Yeah, I'm more reasonable when discussing Pacquiao because I'm a casual boxing fan. I was simply trolling her uncle because he was getting annoying yelling "bang" every punch he threw lol
