The Filipino culture can be very different because of its multiple cultural influences. It is influenced by many of the Asian cultures, Spain, and America. They have a unique history because they didn't gain their independence until 1946; this allowed for the Spanish to have a very large influence on the country and the culture. Their food also shows these influences. I hope you enjoyed the site, and here are a few more to help you learn more about the Filipino culture.
