    Filipino culture has been shaped by various influences but has retained important aspects of its Asian roots. Prior to colonization, the Philippines consisted of different kingdoms and sultanates with social hierarchies led by local chiefs. Filipinos demonstrated warmth, hospitality and an ability to adapt to different environments, deriving food, materials and more from the abundant natural resources of the islands.

    generation to know what is our roots and to see the beauty of our culture, tradition, beliefs, social, way
    of living before the influence of the spaniards.

    The Philippines is a country that has varied cultural influences. Most of these influences are
    results of previous colonization, deriving mainly from the culture of Spain and the United
    States. Despite all of these influences, the old Asian culture of Filipinos has been retained
    and are clearly seen in their way of life, beliefs and customs. Wherever you go, Filipino
    culture is very evident and has largely been appreciated and even applauded in many parts of
    the world.

    Prior to Spanish Colonization. the islands were composed of different kingdoms, rajahnates and
    sultanates. Over time, social and political organization developed and evolved in the widely
    scattered islands. The basic unit of settlement was the barangay (a Malay word for boat that came to
    be used to denote a communal settlement). Kinship groups were led by a datu (chief), and within
    the barangay there were broad social divisions consisting of nobles, freemen, and dependent and
    landless agricultural workers and slaves. In 1521, the Philippines did not have a national identity.
    Instead, the archipelago were comprised of hundred of territories occupied by different tribal groups
    who fought and traded with one another. It was already a major cultural and trade crossroads.

    In terms of food, our forefathers did not suffer from any lack thereof. Blessed with such a resource-
    rich country, they had enough for themselves and their families. They had cooconut, rice and many
    articles of food.
