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 Christianity in the 16th 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.

The country is marked by a true blend of

cultures; truly in the Philippines, East
meets West. The background of the people
in Indonesian and Malay. There are
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
Filipinos, or people of the Philippines.
