I hear that originally Filipinos were very dark skinned, almost black. But that could just be a myth.

An interesting thing to note is that these "Negritos" were all over Southeast Asia prior to the influx of an "Asian" wave of peoples that came from the mainland or from around the Malay Archipelago.

In the Philippines, these Negritos are primarily known as "Ati" or "Aeta", "Semang" in Malaysia and "Mani" in Thailand.

Population-wise, they are quite small in number present day but they do, indeed, exist.

Just want to add, asians are probably descended from negritos. We just changed once we moved north and then back south. There's black people still in southern Asia. eg Sentinelese people - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
