"The statue was made by an anonymous Mexican sculptor, and the image arrived in Manila via galleon from Acapulco, Mexico. Folk tradition attributes the dark colour of the statue to a fire on the ship that charred the originally white skin." -Wikipedia

Considering one of the most famous Presidents of Mexico was of African decent, one must wonder if the status was not designed to represent an African.
"Vicente Guerrero ... born in Tixtla, a town 100 kilometers inland from the port of Acapulco Mexico", ... in 1782. ... "Guerrero was elected the second president of Mexico in 1829. As president, Guerrero went on to champion the cause not only of the racially oppressed but also of the economically oppressed. The most notable achievement of Guerrero's short term as president was ordering an immediate abolition of slavery on September 16th of 1829.[8] and emancipation of all slaves. During Guerrero's presidency the Spanish tried to reconquer Mexico however the Spanish failed and were defeated at the Battle of Tampico." -Wikipedia
