2. (Philippine Hokkien, rare in Taiwanese Hokkien) Chinese (especially Chinese Filipino for speakers in the Philippines)

• When speaking Hokkien, Chinese Filipinos in the Philippines often use this term to refer to either fellow ethnic Chinese people or those considered or identifying as Chinese Filipino in the Philippines, especially as an endonym when speaking Hokkien within the community, since most ethnic Chinese people or Chinese Filipinos in the Philippines typically speak Hokkien, as the Chinese language one typically casually speaks with.
