This was made for a assignment in my ESOL class, so I dedicate this project to myself and the Filipino people I learned about. That is all.

History

The Philippines is an archipelago located in the Pacific Ocean. It is a collection of many islands, all with diverse populations. The Philippines has a history of being conquered by multiple nations. Spain, Japan, and America have imprinted lasting cultural patterns in the Filipino culture. They currently have a population size of 109,581,085 million, 81% of which are practicing Catholics. The other dominant religion based in the Philippines is Christianity.

Language

The two most frequently used languages are English and Filipino, a standardized version of Tagalog with English, Spanish, and Malaysian linguistic influences.

Food

Most Filipinos do not eat with chopsticks, instead using Western cutlery. However, the traditional way of eating with the hands known as kamayan, is still seen in more rural areas. Filipino cuisine heavily derives flavors from India, Japan, China, and Spain. Because both the Philippines and Mexico were conquered by the Spanish, they are ancestrally connected, sharing many cultural similarities. Three popular foods are adobo, lumpia, and sinigang.
