volume one: surnames from indigenous philippine languages.
soooo i’m honestly really annoyed that the rpc only ever gives filipino muses or muses of filipino descent spanish surnames. i know that it’s not unrealistic; spanish surnames were imposed on many of the philippines’ natives, after all, so even though most filipinos don’t actually have spanish ancestry, plenty of us have spanish surnames.
however !!! it is also very much true that surnames that derive from the indigenous languages (the philippines has 175 ethnolinguistic nations, fyi) are still in use today. filipinos who were born in the philippines tend to have two surnames, and this tradition may be preserved by some diaspora filipinos, so there are actually plenty of filipinos with one indigenous surname and one spanish/otherwise foreign surname in their birth names. examples: olivia laxamana hidalgo or chris velasquez adlawan. i myself am a real-life example.
that’s why i’ve compiled some neat surnames for your filipino muse. please change it up, please. (and also, for the last time, please stop giving your filipino muses spanish names like xiomara and teodoro or something, especially when they’re millennials or gen z. i mean, it’s not impossible, but ‘american’ anglo forenames are trendier + more common in the philippines these days. it’s also pretty annoying not to see diversity in names just because there’s this stereotype of filipinos being ‘basically latin american but in asia.’ that’s such a simplistic idea, and a disservice to both pinoys and latines.)
note that there are more surnames out there, of course, for every language than what’s listed under the cut. i couldn’t fit in all 175 ethnolinguistic groups here, so this list mainly features the following languages: BISAYA (“cebuano”/“boholano”), ILOKO, and TAGALOG. there’s a few for BIKOL and several for KAPAMPANGAN as well. please do not apply these surnames randomly to your character! please actually take into account what ethnolinguistic groups they hail from!
please like and/or reblog if using or if you’re a roleplay helper. or if you otherwise appreciate this compilation. note: spellings may differ due to the fact that none of the root words are originally in the latinate/english alphabet. thus these are merely transliterations.
