Cailao Family History

Cailao Family was not popular in the Philippines, it was said to be "Kailao" at first, nobody knew the true explanation or the true history of the Cailao surname.
Cailao surname has a lot of theories from what ethnicity or where or when it's made; Cailao was said to be "Kailao", Cailao was also said to be Filipino-Chinese. Filipinos never knew that their "Kailao" was wrong. Cailao was never made before the Spaniards came in the Philippines but when we are just being friends with the Chinese. Vietnamese was also one of the said who made it, Lào Cai is one of Vietnamese's province, so it could possibly came from that. Based on some researches, there are 79% of Cailao surname in the Philippines 17% in US and 4% in Canada. But base on some record possibly that those 21% are just immigrants and others have American/Canadian blood or some other but they also are Filipino blood. Cài or food or vegetable in Chinese was the real Kai in Cailao. Of course Filipinos are trading foods and materials with Chinese back then. And Lao which kind of means Old, experienced, wizened or wise. Kailao was changed to Cailao when the Spaniards came to fit in with Spanish. Spanish don't have K
This was one of the known theory. This theory was never been done and currently being studied by most of the Filipinos, for now this is just part of the undone theory.
