Filipino values have been derived from racial strains and cultural elements. These are Aeta, Indonesians, Malayan, Hindu and Chinese. These formed the core of our moral conscience, cultural identify coupled with the cultural elements derived from Spain, the United States and from the modern global community, (Panopio and Rolda, 2000).…
We had brought them our pop culture, sports, foods, and many other “American” ideas. Once these ideas established the Philippines had lost some of their roots. Losing their native dialects and such is just one of the many culture specific values that had diminished. This is why the Philippines is very similar to the United States and it had not taken long for them to change, only a few decades. The Philippines can now look at this culture change as beneficial and detrimental.…

4. Mimicry...Filipinos tend to copy or gain that which others have. In this respect, that's why you see groups of Filipino's in foreign countries that are so similar (like in LA every Filipino seems to have a piano at home that no one buys, or in Japan every Filipino on a military base seems to own rose wood. But if they move to a new group, then they easily wish to change and copy the new styles. Kind of like following a fad.…

After arriving on the first quarter of the year 1521 and seizing the Philippine Islands for more than three centuries, the Spaniards departed leaving not just recollection of slavery, but also the rich maturation of the country. Divergent expansions acquired from Spain crept the Philippines away from what was a simple and allusive land, to a civilized and erudite realm. Yes, suppression was at its peak back then too, everyone knows it. And most of the time, it’s kind of disappointing to hear that tyrannization’s the only prominent imprint Filipinos stored in mind. Now, I am glad to present a study on how Spain toted colors to the Philippines in various aspects in the forms of politics, economics, and social and cultural, education and religion.…
Today, we can notice that Tsinoys are very well integrated into the Filipino society serving as leaders and catalysts in their respective businesses and professions. A hallway honoring Filipino-Chinese who defended Philippine freedom in the past to public service advocates of the present are also featured. Throughout the Philippine history, the destiny of the Chinese-Filipinos has been closely intertwined. In every significant event that shaped the Philippines molded through the centuries as nation, the Chinese-Filipinos have marked…
Nationalism is the emotion we get every time we think for our country. During the period of Spanish colonialism, there was no national feeling among Filipinos. Nationalism did not exist in the Philippines. The ideas of nationalism were filtered only through the Philippines in the nineteenth century. The Filipinos before were all under control of the Spaniards and the Spaniards made sure that the Filipinos would never have the hope to be free. Those people called “Filipinos” were Spaniards born in the Philippines and the indigenes were derogatorily were called “Indios”. The Indios were not united by words and deeds for that time the archipelago has different forms of language and there is no lingua franca. The revolts were not compact and are rather sporadic, thus resulting from their defeat against Spaniards. They also used primitive form of strategies in war and weaponry. Spanish rule in those times which our country was colonized was indeed abusive. Many of its colonies were abused by taking their lands, natural resources and its wealth. The Spanish policies were made for the benefit of the colonizers rather than for the betterment of the Filipinos. It was all for the benefit of the Spaniards in such a way that even friars and the church had its way of influencing the government. Spanish rule maybe seen and felt all over the place back then when the guardia civil was all around with their guns unto them that really scared the people on those times. The greed of the friars upon land and wealth was also a huge factor for the Filipinos to be anguish with their government. Filipinos during those times were treated as if they were the unaccepted in their own country. Those who were rich and powerful were the only ones at least treated fairly. The church like what the accounts say was abusive. Friars exploited in terms of overpricing tax collection. It was one of the reasons for why…
As the years passed, the influence of the West and the influence of the East on local fashion has made Filipino fashion an ecclectic one. Some of the popular Filipino fashion designers we have today include Mich Dulce, Rafe Totengco, and Monique…
Culture plays a significant role in shaping our sense of self and identity (Sta. Maria, 1999). It can refer to all the ways of thinking, feeling, and acting that people learn from others as members of society. Filipinos, though diverse culturally, has a unique way of representing himself/herself.…
In terms of fashion, culture and economy, however, we cannot say the same. The Filipinos still suffer from colonial mentality. Music, fashion, customs and tradition and products of foreign countries, especially the so-called stateside, are still being patronized by most Filipinos, especially the youth who unabashedly mimic foreign singers, artists, including their lifestyles not minding to spend lots of money just to be “in” with these foreign idols. Thousands of Pinoys are also dying to migrate to other countries.…
