Hello people of Spain, i came here to investigate where i really came from. I am originally born and raised in the Philippines but my grandparents told me we have Spanish blood because long long time ago Philippines was occupied by Spanish peoples before the Americans, i did a little research of my ancestry and it tells me that my last name came from Spain. by the way my last name is ALBA.
