1. CHINESE

2. Between the 10th and 16th centuries and before the Spanish colonization, Chinese traders sailed to the Philippines. They brought porcelain and silk, in exchange for beeswax, deer horn, and trepang (sea slug). The trade with China was the beginning of a major influence and contribution to Filipino culture https://www.studocu.com/ph/document/pamantasan-ng-lungsod-ng-maynila/readings-in-philippine-history/chinese-influences-on-filipino-culture/10542266

3. China and the Philippines have shared a long enduring friendship, which is evident in the 400 year old Binondo , the oldest Chinatown in the world , being situated in the Philippines. Throughout long withstanding historical ties, the Chinese and Filipinos have shared inter-ethnic relations, territorial disputes, maritime conflicts, diplomacy and foreign policy, trade and economic partnerships. https://www.studocu.com/ph/document/pamantasan-ng-lungsod-ng-maynila/readings-in-philippine-history/chinese-influences-on-filipino-culture/10542266

5. Many practices and habits in the Chinese culture have been adopted by Filipinos . These practices have become part of their daily lives, some of which are presumed by many to be originally Filipino, but are actually of Chinese roots. Ex. kuya ( an older brother) and ate (an older sister) * Both terms originated from Hokkien Chinese ( haa ·kee·uhn ) , a language spoken in the maritime province of Fujian on the southeast coast of mainland China. * Ate is from a ci (a is the prefix for relationships ; ci means older sister ) while kuya is from ko a (ko is an appellation for older brother; a is a suffix. https://www.studocu.com/ph/document/pamantasan-ng-lungsod-ng-maynila/readings-in-philippine-history/chinese-influences-on-filipino-culture/10542266

6. Filipinos are also fond of festivities; many holidays are celebrated in honor of a Saint, a religious festival, seasonal change, harvest, in honor of the place itself, or even its regional delicacies. Many Filipino traditions in festivals and celebrations are borrowed from the Chinese. The lighting of fireworks is said to ward off evil spirits during New Year. Wearing red clothes and setting up 12 round fruits on the dinner table is supposed to bring good luck and wealth. https://www.studocu.com/ph/document/pamantasan-ng-lungsod-ng-maynila/readings-in-philippine-history/chinese-influences-on-filipino-culture/10542266

7. Another trait that the Filipinos inherited from the Chinese is their frugality. Frugality is an integral part of Chinese culture, and in fact, the classic Chinese text Dao De Jing states that the three greatest treasures one can have are love, frugality, and generosity . Filipinos showcase this by bargaining in ukay-ukay (Philippine adaptation of flea markets), bargain shops, and sale items. https://www.studocu.com/ph/document/pamantasan-ng-lungsod-ng-maynila/readings-in-philippine-history/chinese-influences-on-filipino-culture/10542266

8. Among the many influence that the Chinese community has contributed to Philippine culture is their cuisine. Chinatown in Manila is lined with restaurants and specialty shops selling various delicacies. The Chinese influence is evident in dishes such as noodles ( pancit ), rice cake (suman), dumplings ( siomai ), and steamed buns (siopao). Another example is the famous snack hopia , a pastry inspired by Chinese rice bean cake and filled with traditional Filipino ingredients such as monggo (mung beans), kundol (winter melon), and ube or purple yam . https://www.studocu.com/ph/document/pamantasan-ng-lungsod-ng-maynila/readings-in-philippine-history/chinese-influences-on-filipino-culture/10542266

10. Arab traders have been visiting the Philippines for nearly 2000 years for trade purposes and traded extensively with local Malayan chiefs, datus, and Rajahs that had various Rajahnates in the region. In 1380, Karim ul’ Makhdum , the first Islamic missionary to reach the Sulu archipelago , brought Islam to what is now the Philippines, first arriving in Jolo. He is considered the first person to bring Islam to the Philippines. Subsequent visits of Arab Muslims missionaries strengthened the Islamic faith in the Philippines, concentrating in the south and reaching as far as north as Manila. https://alchetron.com/Arabs-in-the-Philippines

11. The Arabs also introduced the use of calendar . Hijri calendar They also introduced the Okir design , particularly, the elaborate designs on the beams of Maranao houses in Lanao which latter today use for art, The Singkil dance is also though to be Arabic in origin. The sarimanok , a very colorful bird in traditional Arabic lore, is likewise a design most common in Lanao that is distinctively Arabic in origin. https://alchetron.com/Arabs-in-the-Philippines

12. That part of bahay na bato our ancestors used to call zaguan , meaning “ hall ” in Spanish, is originally from the Arabic istawan . Ba ñ o , the part we call “ bathroom ,” is said to be also Arabic in origin, via the Spanish. Another little Spanish-Arabic influence is the use of the neo-Mudejar architectural styles, albeit limited to Spanish-era Manila and a few other places.

13. Other influences that Arabs had on the Philippines would be the preponderance of some Arab words in the Filipino language , as well as some Arabic surnames and names among the Muslim Filipino communities, and the direct bloodline of the current royals of Sulu and Mindanao which they trace from Fatimah, Muhammad’s daughter. apo -grandchild sulat -letter alamat -legend salamat -thanks alam -knowledge, understanding akala - huch , from agala , intelligence hiya -to feel shame, blush hukom -judge gunting -scissors https://prezi.com/ulugvelquirw/arabic-influences-on-the-philippines/

Her retinue consisted of women skilled in arms, in riding horses, and with well-built and well-developed bodies, prodigious strength, and masculine physique dubbed as Kinalakian or Kalakian or Amazon. The Pangasinenses always include the backstory of a certain Muslim visitor ( Moroccan Ibn Battuta ) who was served pinakbet, among other things, as a welcome meal and allegedly liked it, bagoong and all. https://prezi.com/ulugvelquirw/arabic-influences-on-the-philippines/

16. Today, the imam , the masjid or mosque , the crescent moon , the celebration of Eid al- Fitr and Ramadan , the hajj or yearly pilgrimage to Mecca by the thousands, the sight of veiled women other than nuns, as well as the plethora of Arabic-sounding names , have become part of the Philippine landscape , particularly in eastern parts of Mindanao, because of the influence of these visitors from ancient Arabian peninsula. https://prezi.com/ulugvelquirw/arabic-influences-on-the-philippines/

17. S PANIARDS

18. Before colonization, Philippine theater was more on verbal jousts ( W ) ( balagtasan ), Indigenous rituals, songs, and dances to praise gods. In the Spanish regime, Spanish people cast off dramas as their instructive tool in influencing and teaching the Filipinos Christianity. Forms of popular theatre and literature such as the pasyon , senakulo , and korido ensured the acceptance and spread of Christianity, and the comedy ( moro-moro ) and awit did the same for the monarchy.

19. Pasyon is a Philippine epic narrative of the life of Jesus Christ , focused on his passion, death, and resurrection . In stanzas of five lines of eight syllables each, the standard elements of epic poetry are interwoven with a colourful , dramatic theme.

20. Senakulo is a Lenten play that depicts events from the Old and New Testaments related to the life, sufferings, and death of Christ. 

21. Moro- moro , also called  comedia , the earliest known form of organized theatre in the Philippines; it was created by Spanish priests. In 1637 a play was written to dramatize a Christian Filipino army’s recent capture of an Islamic stronghold. It was so popular that other plays were written and staged as folk dramas in Christianized villages throughout the Philippines. All told similar stories of Christian armies defeating the Moors ;  Moro  is the Spanish term for  Moor . 

22. Before the Spaniards, records shows that Filipinos created epics, poems, songs myths, tales, and legends, which must have been imitations from the Indians, elucidating existence through stories about their lives and the nature, creating brave and patriotic heroes with supernatural powers. Korido is a famous narrative metrical tale and poetry that forms a ballad. The songs are often about oppression, history, daily life for criminals, the vaquero lifestyle, and other socially relevant topics.  Ex. Ibong Adarna Awit  is a chivalric poem about a hero , usually about a saint. It is also usually sung and used in religious processions. Ex. Florante at Laura Filipinos also wrote in Spanish where Spaniards then supported creative writing and gave prizes.

23. Popular culture at the time was created by colonial authorities, with the aid of the local intelligentsia , to promote the interests of the Church and the State. However, once the native intelligentsia saw the effects of popular culture and knew how to work its way as propaganda, they soon used the Spanish weapon against them. In the 19th century, through the Propaganda movement, the native intelligentsia used the same forms of popular culture to "undermine the power of the abusive friars and rally the populace to put an end to colonial rule "one example is the work of Marcelo H. del Pilar when he soon used prayers such as the 'Aba, Ginoong Maria' and ' Ama Namin ' in a sort of parody to strike against the abusive Spanish Friars. https://www.studocu.com/ph/document/ama-computer-university/bs-information-technology/w2-module-002-philippine-modernity-and-popular-culture/29645947

24. Part of the goals of the Spanish colonization was to spread Christianity. With that, there was the need to build religious structures to support the growing number of devotees. Unlike ones erected in Europe, the Philippine churches were incredibly unique, perfectly highlighting the influence of Spanish colonial architecture. These glorious colonial churches were deemed to be a beautiful reinterpretation of the Spanish-Mexican Baroque style .

25. Official Holidays celebrated in the country include: Christmas (big celebration on Noche Buena or Christmas eve) Easter New Year’s Day Undas or Halloween Season (celebrated in cemeteries usually crowding the cemeteries in 1 st and 2 nd day of November) Labor Day and Independence Day Other holidays are dependent to localities like the festivals usually celebrated through dance. https://www.studocu.com/ph/document/bukidnon-state-university/art-appreciation/lesson-3-lifestyle-fashion-and-food/45191399

26. AMERICANS

27. The advent of American colonialism brought, the properly so-called, popular culture to the Philippines. The liberal policy regarding the printing press, soon through radio, television and film, increased the circulation of popular culture forms. Not only through these forms but also in new media then, such as films. Hollywood films had a near-monopoly in the Philippine market especially in the absence of European movies due to World War I. https://colonialph.wordpress.com/2014/03/

28. When the United States took over the Philippines, the people began to be free to join whatever religion they wanted. (During the Spanish rule, the Catholic church was established as the national religion and was strongly enforced). Because of this new found religious freedom, there began to be many different churches besides Catholicism. Today, it’s remarkable to see just how many different Christian churches there are in the Philippines – this religious diversity has become a big part of the culture. https://colonialph.wordpress.com/2014/03/

29. Americans introduced the idea of free education to the Philippine islands. The United States even sent teachers to help establish schools where the Filipino children could have a free education. A large group of these teachers were called “ Thomasites ,” named after the boat that they came on, called Thomas . https://colonialph.wordpress.com/2014/03/

30. During this time, English began to be taught in the schools , and this is the language that the teachers would use. Even today, most Filipinos can’t help but mix in English words when they speak.  “ Taglish ” has literally become part of the culture.   In fact, English is now the 2nd national language. Lots of English words have made their way into the Tagalog language. Often they are pronounced the same, but the dictionary spelling is Filipino- ized . Here are a few fun examples: cake = keyk cookie = kukis biscuit =  biskwit ballpen = bolpen interview = interbyu computer = kompyuter https://colonialph.wordpress.com/2014/03/
