The Filipino people is basically of

Malay stock with a sprinkling of
Chinese, American, Spanish, and
Arab blood. The Philippines has a
population of 70 million, and it is
hard to distinguish accurately the
lines between stocks. From a long
history of Western colonial rule,
interspersed with the visits of
merchants and traders evolved a
people of a unique blend of east and
west, both in appearance and
culture.

The Filipino character is actually a

little bit of all the cultures put
together. The bayanihan or spirit of
kinship and camaraderie that
Filipinos are famous for is said to be
taken from Malay forefathers. The
close family relations are said to
have been inherited from the
Chinese. The piousness comes from
the Spaniards who introduced
th
Christianity in the 16 century.
Hospitalilty is a common
dinaminator in the Filipino character
and this is what distinguishes the
Filipino. Filipinos are probably one of
the few, if not the only, English-
proficient Oriental people today.
Pilipino is the official national
language, with English considered
as the country’s unofficial one.

The Filipinos are divided

 geographically and culturally into
regions, and each regional group is
recognizable by distinct tarits and
dialects – the sturdy and frugal
Ilocanos of the north, the industrious
Tagalogs of the central plains, the
carefree Visayans from the central
islands and the colorful tribesmen
and religious Moslems of Mindanao.
Tribal communities can be found
scattered across the archipelago.
The Philippines ha more than 111
dialects spoken, owing to the
subdivisions of these basic regional
and cultural groups.

Some *0 percent of the population is

Catholic., Spain’s lasting legacy.
About 15 percent is Moslem and
these people can be found basically
in Mindanao. The rest of the
population is made up mostly of
smaller Christian denominations and
Buddhist.

blend of cultures; truly in the
