home search help worldguide ... Related Weblinks Philippines Culture The Philippines has developed a mixed culture from the blending of foreign influences with native elements. Today some of the isolated tribes are the only people whose culture remains unadulterated by earlier Muslim and later Spanish and American influences. Although traditional theatre, literature and kundimans (love songs) in the national language have experienced a resurgence since Cory Aquino's People Power movement, visitors are more likely to witness beauty contests, lurid soap operas, violent and sentimental Filipino movies, and local bands perfectly imitating Western pop tunes. About 10% of Filipinos (the so-called cultural minority groups or tribal Filipinos) retain their traditional culture. There are some 60 ethnological groups, ranging from the Badjao of the Sulu archipelago, who are sea gypsies, to the head-hunting Kalinga in the north of Bontoc. The Philippines is the only Christian country in Asia. Over 90% of the population claim to follow Christian faiths. The largest of the minority religious groups is the Muslims, who live chiefly on Mindanao and in the Sulu archipelago. There is also a Philippine Independence Church, some Buddhists, and a small number of animists. The geography and history of the Philippines have conspired to produce a multiplicity of languages, some 80 dialects in total. The concept of a national language developed after the Spanish-American War in 1898 and Tagalog was declared the national language in 1936. There were several other contenders for this role, including Cebuano, Hiligaynon and Ilocano. A compromise reached in 1973 confirmed Pilipino as the national language. This is based on Tagalog, but has linguistic elements of other Philippine languages. Despite this, English remains the language of commerce and politics in the Philippines.

Bisaya includes several dialects of which Cebuano, spoken in the regional center of Cebu City, is the best known. Although Bisaya is the main focus, other languages of the region, including Waray and Hiligaynon (Ilonggo) are included. Since Tagalog is the basis for the national language, Filipino, it too is included as a 'language of the region'" Chronology of Philippine History - an excellent site with lots of links for in-depth studies, highly recommended

8. Welcome To The Philippines: Culture rule and contact with merchants and traders culminated in a unique blend of eastand west, both in the appearance and culture of the people of the Philippines. http://www.bergen.org/AAST/projects/Philippines/culture1.htm

The Philippines are marked by a true blend of cultures; east really meets west. The main background of the Philippines people is Indonesion and Malay, along with some Chinese and Spanish elements as well. The history of American rule and contact with merchants and traders culminated in a unique blend of east and west, both in the appearance and culture of the people of the Philippines. Hospitality, a trait displayed by every Filipino, makes these people legendary in Southeast Asia. Seldom can you find such hospitable people who enjoy the company of their western visitors. Due to their long association with Spain, Filipinos are emotional and passionate about life in a way that seems more Latin than Asian. Religion: The Spaniards introduced Christianity (the Roman Catholic faith) and succeeded in converting the overwhelming majority of Filipinos. About 83% of the total population belongs to the Roman Catholic faith. 9% of Filipino people are Protestant, 5% Muslim, and 3% are Buddhist or some other faith. Language: The national language of the Philippines is Pilipino, which is based on the language of Tagalog, although there are at least one or two dialects spoken in every region. English is both spoken and understood throughout the country, especially in business negotiations and in the government. The American occupation was responsible for teaching the Filipino people the American language. The Philippines is currently the third-largest English speaking country in the world. Hokkien, Cantonese, and Mandarin are spoken by older members of the Filipino-Chinese community.

HOME CBCP News Bishops Jurisdictions ... General Info Pastoral Exhortation on Philippine Culture He came to his own domain and his own people did not accept him. But to all who did accept him He gave power to become children of God, to all who believe in the name of him who was born not of human stock or urge of the flesh or will of man but of God himself. The Word was made flesh, he lived among us and we saw his glory the glory that is his as the only Son of the Father full of grace and truth. (Jn. 1, 11-14) Introduction . In accordance with the Holy Father's hopes for the renewal of the Church in his letter "On the Coming of the Third Millennium" ( Tertio Millennio Adveniente , 1995), we issue this year our third exhortation on a crucial area of Philippine life. In 1997, we spoke on our politics; last year on our economy; this year we propose to focus on yet another aspect of our national life: our culture. From what we have seen already about Philippine politics and economics, it is clear much of the evil as well as the good we have noted in them stem to a large extent from our culture—the way of life distinctive of us as a people, especially the values that we live by.

Home Mystical Philippines philippines - 7,107 islands p h i l i p p i n e s - c u l t u r e Philippines Culture Proto-Malay The original proto-Malay stock in The Philippines has been diluted with a sprinkling of Chinese, Spanish, American, and Arab blood resulting from early trading contacts and subsequent colonisation. The 'official' language in The Philippines is Tagalog, the main language spoken in Luzon, where the power base is. Visayan is widely spoken throughout the group of islands south from Luzon down to Mindanao, though each island has it's own language or dialect and of course the ethnic minorities also retain their own languages and customs. Colonial Rule The Spanish ruled the Philippines from Mexico until the struggle for independence in the late 19th century. During the American war with Spain (to decide the fate of Cuba), the Philippines sided with the USA, tragically for the Filipinos, this culminated in another 50 years foreign domination, this time by the Americans.
