The Philippines (/ˈfɪlɪpiːnz/ (listen); Filipino: Pilipinas),[14] officially the Republic of the Philippines (Filipino: Republika ng Pilipinas),[d] is an archipelagic country in Southeast Asia. It is situated in the western Pacific Ocean and consists of around 7,641 islands that are broadly categorized under three main geographical divisions from north to south: Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. The Philippines is bounded by the South China Sea to the west, the Philippine Sea to the east, and the Celebes Sea to the southwest. It shares maritime borders with Taiwan to the north, Japan to the northeast, Palau to the east and southeast, Indonesia to the south, Malaysia to the southwest, Vietnam to the west, and China to the northwest. The Philippines covers an area of 300,000 km2 (120,000 sq mi) and, as of 2021, it had a population of around 109 million people,[7] making it the world's thirteenth-most populous country. The Philippines has diverse ethnicities and cultures throughout its islands. Manila is the country's capital, while the largest city is Quezon City; both lie within the urban area of Metro Manila.
Negritos, some of the archipelago's earliest inhabitants, were followed by successive waves of Austronesian peoples. Adoption of animism, Hinduism and Islam established island-kingdoms called Kedatuans, Rajahnates, and Sultanates. The arrival of Ferdinand Magellan, a Portuguese explorer leading a fleet for Spain, marked the beginning of Spanish colonization. In 1543, Spanish explorer Ruy López de Villalobos named the archipelago Las Islas Filipinas in honor of Philip II of Spain. Spanish settlement through Mexico, beginning in 1565, led to the Philippines becoming part of the Spanish Empire for more than 300 years. During this time, Catholicism became the dominant religion, and Manila became the western hub of trans-Pacific trade. In 1896, the Philippine Revolution began, which then became entwined with the 1898 Spanish–American War. Spain ceded the territory to the United States, while Filipino revolutionaries declared the First Philippine Republic. The ensuing Philippine–American War ended with the United States establishing control over the territory, which they maintained until the Japanese invasion of the islands during World War II. Following liberation, the Philippines became independent in 1946. Since then, the unitary sovereign state has often had a tumultuous experience with democracy, which included the overthrow of a decades-long dictatorship by a non-violent revolution.
The Philippines is an emerging market and a newly industrialized country whose economy is transitioning from being agriculture-centered to services- and manufacturing-centered. It is a founding member of the United Nations, World Trade Organization, Association of Southeast Asian Nations, the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum, the East Asia Summit and a member of the Non-Aligned Movement since 1993. The Philippines's position as an island country on the Pacific Ring of Fire that is close to the equator makes it prone to earthquakes and typhoons. The country has a variety of natural resources and is home to a globally significant level of biodiversity.
Etymology
Spanish explorer Ruy López de Villalobos, during his expedition in 1542, named the islands of Leyte and Samar "Felipinas" after Philip II of Spain, then the Prince of Asturias. Eventually the name "Las Islas Filipinas" would be used to cover the archipelago's Spanish possessions.[15] Before Spanish rule was established, other names such as Islas del Poniente (Islands of the West) and Magellan's name for the islands, San Lázaro, were also used by the Spanish to refer to islands in the region.[16][17][18][19]
During the Philippine Revolution, the Malolos Congress proclaimed the establishment of the República Filipina or the Philippine Republic. From the period of the Spanish–American War (1898) and the Philippine–American War (1899–1902) until the Commonwealth period (1935–1946), American colonial authorities referred to the country as The Philippine Islands, a translation of the Spanish name.[20] The United States began the process of changing the reference to the country from The Philippine Islands to The Philippines, specifically when it was mentioned in the Philippine Autonomy Act or the Jones Law.[21] The full official title, Republic of the Philippines, was included in the 1935 constitution as the name of the future independent state,[22] it is also mentioned in all succeeding constitutional revisions.[23][24]
History
Prehistory (pre–900)
There is evidence of early hominins living in what is now the Philippines as early as 709,000 years ago.[25] A small number of bones from Callao Cave potentially represent an otherwise unknown species, Homo luzonensis, that lived around 50,000 to 67,000 years ago.[26][27] The oldest modern human remains found on the islands are from the Tabon Caves of Palawan, U/Th-dated to 47,000 ± 11–10,000 years ago.[28] The Tabon Man is presumably a Negrito, who were among the archipelago's earliest inhabitants, descendants of the first human migrations out of Africa via the coastal route along southern Asia to the now sunken landmasses of Sundaland and Sahul.[29]
The first Austronesians reached the Philippines at around 2200 BC, settling the Batanes Islands and northern Luzon from Taiwan. From there, they rapidly spread downwards to the rest of the islands of the Philippines and Southeast Asia.[30][31] This population assimilated with the existing Negritos resulting in the modern Filipino ethnic groups which display various ratios of genetic admixture between Austronesian and Negrito groups.[32] Genetic signatures also indicate the possibility of migration of Austroasiatic, Papuan, and South Asian people.[33] Jade artifacts have been found dated to 2000 BC,[34][35] with the lingling-o jade items crafted in Luzon made using raw materials originating from Taiwan.[36] By 1000 BC, the inhabitants of the archipelago had developed into four kinds of social groups: hunter-gatherer tribes, warrior societies, highland plutocracies, and port principalities.[37]
Early states (900–1565)

The earliest known surviving written record found in the Philippines is the Laguna Copperplate Inscription.[38] By the 1300s, a number of the large coastal settlements had emerged as trading centers, and became the focal point of societal changes.[39] Some polities had exchanges with other states across Asia.[40][41][42][43][44][excessive citations] Trade with China is believed to have begun during the Tang dynasty, but grew more extensive during the Song dynasty.[45] By the second millennium CE, some Philippine polities sent delegations participating in the tributary system of China.[46][40] Indian cultural traits, such as linguistic terms and religious practices, began to spread within the Philippines during the tenth century, likely via the Hindu Majapahit empire.[43][39][47] By the 15th century, Islam was established in the Sulu Archipelago and spread from there.[48]
Polities founded in the Philippines from the 10th–16th centuries include Maynila,[49] Tondo, Namayan, Pangasinan, Cebu, Butuan, Maguindanao, Lanao, Sulu, and Ma-i.[50] The early polities were typically made up of three-tier social structure: a nobility class, a class of "freemen", and a class of dependent debtor-bondsmen.[39][40] Among the nobility were leaders called "Datus", responsible for ruling autonomous groups called "barangay" or "dulohan".[39] When these barangays banded together, either to form a larger settlement[39] or a geographically looser alliance,[40] the more esteemed among them would be recognized as a "paramount datu",[39][37] rajah, or sultan[51] which headed the community state.[52] Warfare developed and escalated during the 14th to 16th centuries[53] and throughout these periods population density is thought to have been low,[54] which is also due to the common frequency of typhoons and the Philippines' location on the Pacific ring of fire.[55] The Luções from Luzon then had economic and military influence in South, Southeast and East Asia.[56] In 1521, Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan arrived in the area, claimed the islands for Spain, and was then killed by Lapulapu's fighters at the Battle of Mactan.[57]
Colonial rule (1565–1946)
Colonization began when Spanish explorer Miguel López de Legazpi arrived from Mexico in 1565.[58][59]: 20–23 In 1571, Spanish Manila became the capital of the Spanish East Indies,[60] which encompassed Spanish territories in Asia and the Pacific.[61][62] The Spanish successfully invaded the different local states by employing the principle of divide and conquer,[63] bringing most of what is now the Philippines into a single unified administration.[64][65] Disparate barangays were deliberately consolidated into towns, where Catholic missionaries were more easily able to convert the inhabitants to Christianity.[66]: 53, 68 [67] From 1565 to 1821, the Philippines was governed as part of the Mexico-based Viceroyalty of New Spain, later administered from Madrid following the Mexican War of Independence.[68] Manila was the western hub of the trans-Pacific trade.[69] Manila galleons were constructed in Bicol and Cavite.[70][71]
During its rule, Spain quelled various indigenous revolts,[72] as well as defending against external military challenges.[73][74][failed verification] Spanish forces included soldiers from elsewhere in New Spain[75] as well as broader Latin America, many of whom deserted and intermingled with the wider population.[76][77][78] Immigration blurred the racial caste system[66]: 98 [79][80] Spain maintained in towns and cities.[81] War against the Dutch from the West, in the 17th century, together with conflict with the Muslims in the South nearly bankrupted the colonial treasury.[82]
Administration of the Philippine islands were considered a drain on the economy of Spain,[73] and there were debates to abandon it or trade it for other territory. However, this was opposed due to economic potential, security, and the desire to continue religious conversion in the islands and the surrounding region.[83][84] The Philippines survived on an annual subsidy provided by the Spanish Crown,[73] which averaged 250,000 pesos[85] and was usually paid through the provision of 75 tons of silver bullion being sent from the Americas.[86]
British forces occupied Manila from 1762 to 1764 during the Seven Years' War, with Spanish rule restored through the 1763 Treaty of Paris.[59]: 81–83 The Spanish considered their war with the Muslims in Southeast Asia an extension of the Reconquista.[87] The Spanish–Moro conflict lasted for several hundred years. In the last quarter of the 19th century, Spain conquered portions of Mindanao and Jolo,[88] and the Moro Muslims in the Sultanate of Sulu formally recognized Spanish sovereignty.[89][90]
In the 19th century, Philippine ports opened to world trade and shifts started occurring within Filipino society.[91][92] The Latin American wars of independence and renewed immigration led to shifts in social identity, with the term Filipino shifting from referring to Spaniards born in the Philippines to a term encompassing all people in the archipelago. This identity shift was driven by wealthy families of mixed ancestry, to which it became a national identity.[93][94]
Revolutionary sentiments were stoked in 1872 after three activist Catholic priests were executed on weak pretences.[95][96][97] This would inspire a propaganda movement in Spain, organized by Marcelo H. del Pilar, José Rizal, Graciano López Jaena, and Mariano Ponce, lobbying for political reforms in the Philippines. Rizal was eventually executed on December 30, 1896, on charges of rebellion. This radicalized many who had previously been loyal to Spain.[98] As attempts at reform met with resistance, Andrés Bonifacio in 1892 established the militant secret society called the Katipunan, who sought independence from Spain through armed revolt.[99]
The Katipunan started the Philippine Revolution in 1896.[100] Internal disputes led to an election in which Bonifacio lost his position and Emilio Aguinaldo was elected as the new leader of the revolution.[101]: 145–147 In 1897, the Pact of Biak-na-Bato brought about the exile of the revolutionary leadership to Hong Kong. In 1898, the Spanish–American War began and reached the Philippines. Aguinaldo returned, resumed the revolution, and declared independence from Spain on June 12, 1898.[66]: 112–113 The First Philippine Republic was established on January 21, 1899.[102]
The islands had been ceded by Spain to the United States alongside Puerto Rico and Guam as a result of the latter's victory in the Spanish–American War.[103][104] As it became increasingly clear the United States would not recognize the First Philippine Republic, the Philippine–American War broke out.[105] The war resulted in the deaths of 250,000 to 1 million civilians, mostly due to famine and disease.[106] After the defeat of the First Philippine Republic, an American civilian government was established.[107] American forces continued to secure and extend their control over the islands, suppressing an attempted extension of the Philippine Republic,[101]: 200–202 [108] securing the Sultanate of Sulu,[109] and establishing control over interior mountainous areas that had resisted Spanish conquest.[110]
Cultural developments strengthened the continuing development of a national identity,[111][112] and Tagalog began to take precedence over other local languages.[66]: 121 Governmental functions were gradually devolved to Filipinos under the Taft Commission[113] and in 1935 the Philippines was granted Commonwealth status with Manuel Quezon as president and Sergio Osmeña as vice president.[114] Quezon's priorities were defence, social justice, inequality and economic diversification, and national character.[113] Tagalog was designated the national language,[115] women's suffrage was introduced,[116] and land reform mooted.[117][118]
During World War II the Japanese Empire invaded[119] and the Second Philippine Republic, under Jose P. Laurel, was established as a puppet state.[120][121] From 1942 the Japanese occupation of the Philippines was opposed by large-scale underground guerrilla activity.[122][123][124] Atrocities and war crimes were committed during the war, including the Bataan Death March and the Manila massacre.[125][126] Allied troops defeated the Japanese in 1945. By the end of the war it is estimated that over a million Filipinos had died.[127][128] On October 11, 1945, the Philippines became one of the founding members of the United Nations.[129][130] On July 4, 1946, the Philippines was officially recognized by the United States as an independent nation through the Treaty of Manila, during the presidency of Manuel Roxas.[130][131][132]
Postcolonial period (1946–present)
Efforts to end the Hukbalahap Rebellion began during Elpidio Quirino's term,[133] however, it was only during Ramon Magsaysay's presidency that the movement was suppressed.[134] Magsaysay's successor, Carlos P. Garcia, initiated the Filipino First Policy,[135] which was continued by Diosdado Macapagal, with celebration of Independence Day moved from July 4 to June 12, the date of Emilio Aguinaldo's declaration,[136][137] and pursuit of a claim on the eastern part of North Borneo.[138][139]
In 1965, Macapagal lost the presidential election to Ferdinand Marcos. Early in his presidency, Marcos initiated numerous infrastructure projects[140] but, together with his wife Imelda, was accused of corruption and embezzling billions of dollars in public funds.[141] Nearing the end of his term, Marcos declared martial law on September 21, 1972.[142][143] This period of his rule was characterized by political repression, censorship, and human rights violations.[144]
On August 21, 1983, Marcos' chief rival, opposition leader Benigno Aquino Jr., was assassinated on the tarmac at Manila International Airport. Marcos called a snap presidential election in 1986.[145] Marcos was proclaimed the winner, but the results were widely regarded as fraudulent.[146] The resulting protests led to the People Power Revolution,[147] which forced Marcos and his allies to flee to Hawaii, and Aquino's widow, Corazon Aquino, was installed as president.[145][148]

The return of democracy and government reforms beginning in 1986 were hampered by national debt, government corruption, and coup attempts.[149][150] A communist insurgency[151][152] and a military conflict with Moro separatists persisted,[153] while the administration also faced a series of disasters, including the sinking of the MV Doña Paz in December 1987,[154] and the eruption of Mount Pinatubo in June 1991.[155][156] Aquino was succeeded by Fidel V. Ramos, whose economic performance, at 3.6% growth rate,[157][158] was overshadowed by the onset of the 1997 Asian financial crisis.[159][160]
Ramos' successor, Joseph Estrada, was overthrown by the 2001 EDSA Revolution and succeeded by his vice president, Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, on January 20, 2001.[161] Arroyo's 9-year administration was marked by economic growth,[162] but was tainted by corruption and political scandals.[163][164] On November 23, 2009, 34 journalists and several civilians were killed in Maguindanao.[165][166]
Economic growth continued during Benigno Aquino III's administration, which pushed for good governance and transparency.[167][168] In 2015, a clash which took place in Mamasapano, Maguindanao killed 44 members of the Philippine National Police-Special Action Force, resulting in efforts to pass the Bangsamoro Basic Law reaching an impasse.[169][170] Former Davao City mayor Rodrigo Duterte won the 2016 presidential election, becoming the first president from Mindanao.[171][172] Duterte launched an anti-drug campaign[173][174] and an infrastructure program.[175][176] The implementation of the Bangsamoro Organic Law led to the creation of the autonomous Bangsamoro region in Mindanao.[177][178] In early 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic reached the country[179][180] causing the gross domestic product to shrink by 9.5%, the country's worst annual economic performance since records began in 1947.[181] The son of Ferdinand Marcos, Bongbong Marcos, won the 2022 presidential election.[182]
Geography and environment
The Philippines is an archipelago composed of about 7,640 islands,[183][184] covering a total area, including inland bodies of water, of around 300,000 square kilometers (115,831 sq mi),[185][186] with cadastral survey data suggesting it may be larger.[187] Its 36,289 kilometers (22,549 mi) coastline gives it the world's fifth-longest coastline.[188] The EEZ of the Philippines covers 2,263,816 km2 (874,064 sq mi).[189] It is located between 116° 40', and 126° 34' E longitude and 4° 40' and 21° 10' N latitude and is bordered by the Philippine Sea to the east,[190][191] the South China Sea to the west,[192] and the Celebes Sea to the south.[193] The island of Borneo is located a few hundred kilometers southwest,[194] and Taiwan is located directly to the north. Sulawesi is located to the southwest and Palau is located to the east of the islands.[195][196]
The highest mountain is Mount Apo. It measures up to 2,954 meters (9,692 ft) above sea level and is located on the island of Mindanao.[197] Running east of the archipelago, the Philippine Trench extends 10,540-meter (34,580 ft) down at the Emden Deep.[198][199][200] The longest river is the Cagayan River in northern Luzon, measuring about 520 kilometers (320 mi).[201] Manila Bay,[202] upon the shore of which the capital city of Manila lies, is connected to Laguna de Bay,[203] the largest lake in the Philippines, by the Pasig River.[204] The Puerto Princesa Subterranean River, which runs 8.2 kilometers (5.1 mi) underground through a karst landscape before reaching the ocean, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.[205]
Situated on the western fringes of the Pacific Ring of Fire, the Philippines experiences frequent seismic and volcanic activity.[206] The Philippine region is seismically active and has been progressively constructed by plates converging towards each other in multiple directions.[207][208][209] Around five earthquakes are registered daily, though most are too weak to be felt.[210][209] The last major earthquakes were the 1976 Moro Gulf earthquake and the 1990 Luzon earthquake.[211] There are many active volcanoes such as the Mayon Volcano, Mount Pinatubo, and Taal Volcano.[212] The eruption of Mount Pinatubo in June 1991 produced the second largest terrestrial eruption of the 20th century.[213] The Philippines is the world's second-biggest geothermal energy producer behind the United States, with 18% of the country's electricity needs being met by geothermal power.[214]
The country has valuable[215] mineral deposits as a result of its complex geologic structure and high level of seismic activity.[216][217] The Philippines are thought to have the second-largest gold deposits after South Africa, along with a large amount of copper deposits,[218] and the world's largest deposits of palladium.[219] Other minerals include chromite, nickel, and zinc. Despite this, a lack of law enforcement, poor management, opposition due to the presence of indigenous communities, and past instances of environmental damage and disaster, have resulted in these mineral resources remaining largely untapped.[218][220]
Biodiversity

The Philippines is a megadiverse country.[221][222] Eight major types of forests are distributed throughout the Philippines; dipterocarp, beach forest, pine forest, molave forest, lower montane forest, upper montane or mossy forest, mangroves, and ultrabasic forest.[223] As of 2021, the Philippines has only 7 million hectares of forest cover left, according to official estimates (roughly 23% of the country's total land area), though experts contend that the actual figure is likely much lower.[224] Deforestation, often the result of illegal logging, is an acute problem in the Philippines. Forest cover declined from 70% of the Philippines's total land area in 1900 to about 18.3% in 1999.[225]
Around 1,100 land vertebrate species can be found in the Philippines including over 100 mammal species and 243 bird species not thought to exist elsewhere.[226][227] The Philippines has among the highest rates of discovery in the world with sixteen new species of mammals discovered in the last ten years. Because of this, the rate of endemism for the Philippines has risen and likely will continue to rise.[228] Parts of its marine waters contain the highest diversity of shorefish species in the world.[229]
Large reptiles include the Philippine crocodile[230] and saltwater crocodile.[231] The largest crocodile in captivity, known locally as Lolong, was captured in the southern island of Mindanao,[232] and died on February 10, 2013, from pneumonia and cardiac arrest.[233] The national bird, known as the Philippine eagle, has the longest body of any eagle; it generally measures 86 to 102 cm (2.82 to 3.35 ft) in length and weighs 4.7 to 8.0 kg (10.4 to 17.6 lb).[234][235] The Philippine eagle is part of the family Accipitridae and is endemic to the rainforests of Luzon, Samar, Leyte, and Mindanao.[236] The Philippines has the third highest number of endemic birds in the world (behind Indonesia and Australia) with 243 endemics. Notable birds include the Celestial monarch, flame-templed babbler, Red-vented cockatoo, Whiskered pitta, Sulu hornbill, Rufous hornbill, Luzon bleeding-heart and the Flame-breasted fruit dove.[227]
Philippine maritime waters encompass as much as 2,200,000 square kilometers (849,425 sq mi) producing unique and diverse marine life,[237] an important part of the Coral Triangle, a territory shared with other countries.[238][239] The total number of corals and marine fish species was estimated at 500 and 2,400 respectively.[226] New records[240][241] and species discoveries continue.[242][243][244] The Tubbataha Reef in the Sulu Sea was declared a World Heritage Site in 1993.[245] Philippine waters also sustain the cultivation of fish, crustaceans, oysters, and seaweeds.[246] One species of oyster, Pinctada maxima, produces pearls that are naturally golden in color.[247] Pearls have been declared a "National Gem".[248]
With an estimated 13,500 plant species in the country, 3,200 of which are unique to the islands,[226] Philippine rainforests boast an array of flora,[249] including many rare types of orchids[250] and rafflesia.[251] Many species are endangered and scientists say that Southeast Asia, which the Philippines is part of, faces a catastrophic extinction rate of 20% by the end of the 21st century due in part to habitat loss resulting from deforestation.[252]
Climate
![](https://web.archive.org/web/20220629121557im_/https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/57/Koppen-Geiger_Map_PHL_present.svg/220px-Koppen-Geiger_Map_PHL_present.svg.png)
The Philippines has a tropical maritime climate that is usually hot and humid. There are three seasons: a hot dry season or summer from March to May; a rainy season from June to November; and a cool dry season from December to February. The southwest monsoon lasts from May to October, and the northeast monsoon from November to April. Temperatures usually range from 21 °C (70 °F) to 32 °C (90 °F). The coolest month is January; the warmest is May.[253]
The average yearly temperature is around 26.6 °C (79.9 °F). In considering temperature, location in terms of latitude and longitude is not a significant factor, and temperatures at sea level tend to be in the same range. Altitude usually has more of an impact. The average annual temperature of Baguio at an elevation of 1,500 meters (4,900 ft) above sea level is 18.3 °C (64.9 °F), making it a popular destination during hot summers.[253] Annual rainfall measures as much as 5,000 millimeters (200 in) in the mountainous east coast section but less than 1,000 millimeters (39 in) in some of the sheltered valleys.[254]
Sitting astride the typhoon belt, the islands experience 15–20 typhoons annually from July to October,[254] with around nineteen typhoons[255] entering the Philippine area of responsibility in a typical year and eight or nine making landfall.[256][257] Historically typhoons were sometimes referred to as baguios.[258] The wettest recorded typhoon to hit the Philippines dropped 2,210 millimeters (87 in) in Baguio from July 14 to 18, 1911.[259] The Philippines is highly exposed to climate change and is among the world's ten countries that are most vulnerable to climate change risks.[260]
Government and politics
The Philippines has a democratic government in the form of a constitutional republic with a presidential system.[261] The president functions as both head of state and head of government[262] and is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces.[261] The president is elected by popular vote for a single six-year term.[263] The president appoints and presides over the cabinet.[264]: 213–214 Rodrigo Duterte was elected to a six-year term as president in 2016.[171] The bicameral Congress is composed of the Senate, serving as the upper house, with members elected to a six-year term, and the House of Representatives, serving as the lower house, with members elected to a three-year term.[265] Philippine politics tends to be dominated by those with well-known names, such as members of political dynasties or celebrities.[266][267]
Senators are elected at large[265] while the representatives are elected from both legislative districts and through sectoral representation.[264]: 162–163 The judicial power is vested in the Supreme Court, composed of a chief justice as its presiding officer and fourteen associate justices,[268] all of whom are appointed by the president from nominations submitted by the Judicial and Bar Council.[261] The capital city of the Philippines is Manila and the most populous city is Quezon City, both within the single urban area of Metro Manila.[269]
There have been attempts to change the government to a federal, unicameral, or parliamentary government since the Ramos administration.[270] There is a significant amount of corruption in the Philippines,[271][272][273] which some historians attribute to the system of governance put in place during the Spanish colonial period.[274]

As a founding and active member of the United Nations,[275] the country has been elected to the Security Council.[276] Carlos P. Romulo was a former president of the United Nations General Assembly.[277][278] The country is an active participant in peacekeeping missions, particularly in East Timor.[279][280] Over 10 million Filipinos live and work overseas.[281][282]
The Philippines is a founding and active member of ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations).[283] It has hosted several summits and is an active contributor to the direction and policies of the bloc.[284][285] It is also a member of the East Asia Summit (EAS),[286] the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), the Group of 24, and the Non-Aligned Movement.[287][better source needed] The country is also seeking to obtain observer status in the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation.[288][289]
The Philippines has a long relationship with the United States, covering economics, security, and people-to-people relations.[290] A mutual defense treaty between the two countries was signed in 1951, and supplemented later with the 1999 Visiting Forces Agreement and the 2016 Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement.[291] The Philippines supported American policies during the Cold War and participated in the Korean and Vietnam wars.[292][293] In 2003 the Philippines was designated a Major non-NATO ally.[294]
Under President Duterte ties with the United States have weakened[295] with military purchases instead coming from China and Russia,[296][297] while Duterte states that the Philippines will no longer participate in any US-led wars.[298] In 2021, it was revealed the United States would defend the Philippines including the South China Sea.[299]
The Philippines attaches great importance to its relations with China, and has established significant cooperation with the country.[300][301][302][303][304][305] Japan is the biggest bilateral contributor of official development assistance to the country.[306][307][308] Although historical tensions exist due to the events of World War II, much of the animosity has faded.[309]
Historical and cultural ties continue to affect relations with Spain.[310][311] Relations with Middle Eastern countries are shaped by the high number of Filipinos working in these countries,[312] and by issues related to the Muslim minority in the Philippines.[313] Concerns have been raised regarding issues such as domestic abuse and war affecting[314][315] the approximately 2.5 million overseas Filipino workers in the region.[316]
The Philippines has claims in the Spratly Islands which overlap with claims by China, Malaysia, Taiwan, and Vietnam. The largest of its controlled islands in Thitu Island, which contains the Philippines's smallest village.[317][318] The Scarborough Shoal standoff in 2012, where China took control of the shoal from the Philippines, led to an international arbitration case[319] and has made the shoal a prominent symbol in the wider dispute.[320]

The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) consist of three branches: the Philippine Air Force, the Philippine Army, and the Philippine Navy.[321] The Armed Forces of the Philippines are a volunteer force.[322] Civilian security is handled by the Philippine National Police under the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG).[323][324]
In Bangsamoro, the largest separatist organizations, the Moro National Liberation Front and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front were engaging the government politically as of 2007.[325][needs update] Other more militant groups like the Abu Sayyaf have kidnapped foreigners for ransom, particularly in the Sulu Archipelago.[327][328][329][330] Their presence decreased due to successful security provided by the Philippine government.[331][332] The Communist Party of the Philippines and its military wing, the New People's Army, have been waging guerrilla warfare against the government since the 1970s, reaching its apex in 1986 when Communist guerrillas gained control of a fifth of the country's territory, before significantly dwindling militarily and politically after the return of democracy in 1986.[333][334] As of 2018, $2.843 billion,[335] or 1.1 percent of GDP is spent on military forces.[336]
Administrative divisions
The Philippines is governed as a unitary state, with the exception of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM),[337] although there have been several steps towards decentralization within the unitary framework.[338][339] A 1991 law devolved some powers to local governments.[340] The country is divided into 17 regions, 81 provinces, 146 cities, 1,488 municipalities, and 42,036 barangays.[341] Regions other than Bangsamoro serve primarily to organize the provinces of the country for administrative convenience.[342] As of 2015, Calabarzon was the most populated region while the National Capital Region (NCR) the most densely populated.[343]

Demographics
The Commission on Population estimated the country's population to be 107,190,081 as of December 31, 2018, based on the latest population census of 2015 conducted by the Philippine Statistics Authority.[346] The population increased from 1990 to 2008 by approximately 28 million, a 45% growth in that time frame.[347] The first official census in the Philippines was carried out in 1877 and recorded a population of 5,567,685.[348]
A third of the population resides in Metro Manila and its immediately neighboring regions.[349] The 2.34% average annual population growth rate between 1990 and 2000 decreased to an estimated 1.90% for the 2000–2010 period.[350] Government attempts to reduce population growth have been a contentious issue.[351] The population's median age is 22.7 years with 60.9% aged from 15 to 64 years old.[6] Life expectancy at birth is 69.4 years, 73.1 years for females and 65.9 years for males.[352] Poverty incidence dropped to 21.6% in 2015 from 25.2% in 2012.[353]
Metro Manila is the most populous of the 3 defined metropolitan areas in the Philippines[354] and the 5th most populous in the world.[355] Census data from 2015 showed it had a population of 12,877,253 constituting almost 13% of the national population.[356] Including suburbs in the adjacent provinces (Bulacan, Cavite, Laguna, and Rizal) of Greater Manila, the population is around 23,088,000.[355] Across the country, the Philippines has a total urbanization rate of 51.2 percent.[356] Metro Manila's gross regional product was estimated as of 2009 to be ₱468.4 billion (at constant 1985 prices) and accounts for 33% of the nation's GDP.[357] In 2011 Manila ranked as the 28th wealthiest urban agglomeration in the world and the second in Southeast Asia.[358]
Ethnic groups
There is substantial ethnic diversity with the Philippines, a product of the seas and mountain ranges dividing the archipelago along with significant foreign influences.[262] According to the 2010 census, 24.4% of Filipinos are Tagalog, 11.4% Visayans/Bisaya (excluding Cebuano, Hiligaynon and Waray), 9.9% Cebuano, 8.8% Ilocano, 8.4% Hiligaynon, 6.8% Bikol, 4% Waray, and 26.2% are "others",[6][359] which can be broken down further to yield more distinct non-tribal groups like the Moro, the Kapampangan, the Pangasinense, the Ibanag, and the Ivatan.[360] There are also indigenous peoples[361] like the Igorot,[362] the Lumad,[363] the Mangyan,[364] the Bajau,[365] and the tribes of Palawan.[366][367]
Negritos are considered among the earliest inhabitants of the islands.[368] These minority aboriginal settlers are an Australoid group and are a left-over from the first human migration out of Africa to Australia, and were likely displaced by later waves of migration.[369] At least some Negritos in the Philippines have Denisovan admixture in their genomes.[370][371] Ethnic Filipinos generally belong to several Southeast Asian ethnic groups classified linguistically as part of the Austronesian or Malayo-Polynesian speaking people.[361] There is some uncertainty over the origin of this Austronesian speaking population, with it being likely that ancestors related to Taiwanese aborigines brought their language and mixed with existing populations in the area.[372][373] The Manobo and Sama ethnic groups have ancestral affinity with the Austroasiatic Mlabri and Htin peoples of mainland Southeast Asia. South Asian ancestry was also detected with Filipinos and peaking among the Dilaut people. There was also a westward expansion of Papuan ancestry from Papua New Guinea to Eastern Indonesia and Mindanao detected among the Blaan and Sangir.[33] European DNA is present in many Filipinos today.[374] Under Spanish rule there was also immigration from elsewhere in the empire, especially from Latin America.[375] In relation to these, the National Geographic project concluded in 2016 that people living in the Philippine archipelago carried DNA markers in the following ratios: 53% Southeast Asia and Oceania, 36% Eastern Asia, 5% Southern Europe, 3% Southern Asia, and 2% Native American.[376]
Chinese Filipinos are mostly the descendants of immigrants from Fujian in China after 1898,[377] numbering around 2 million, although there are an estimated 20 percent of Filipinos who have partial Chinese ancestry, stemming from precolonial and colonial Chinese migrants.[378] While a distinct minority, Chinese Filipinos are well-integrated into Filipino society.[262][379] As of 2015, there were 220,000 to 600,000 American citizens living in the country.[380] There are also up to 250,000 Amerasians scattered across the cities of Angeles, Manila, and Olongapo.[381] Other important non-indigenous minorities include Indians[382][383] and Arabs.[384] There are also Japanese people, which include escaped Christians (Kirishitan) who fled the persecutions of Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu which the Spanish empire in the Philippines had offered asylum from.[385] The descendants of mixed-race couples are known as Tisoy.[386]

Ethnologue lists 186 individual languages in the Philippines, 182 of which are living languages, while 4 no longer have any known speakers. Most native languages are part of the Philippine branch of the Malayo-Polynesian languages, which is itself a branch of the Austronesian language family.[361][388] In addition, various Spanish-based creole varieties collectively called Chavacano exist.[389] There are also many Philippine Negrito languages that have unique vocabularies that survived Austronesian acculturation.[390]
Filipino and English are the official languages of the country.[391] Filipino is a standardized version of Tagalog, spoken mainly in Metro Manila.[392] Both Filipino and English are used in government, education, print, broadcast media, and business, with third local languages often being used at the same time.[393] The Philippine constitution provides for the promotion of Spanish and Arabic on a voluntary and optional basis.[391] Spanish, which was widely used as a lingua franca in the late nineteenth century, has since declined greatly in use,[394] although Spanish loanwords are still present today in Philippine languages,[395][396] while Arabic is mainly taught in Islamic schools in Mindanao.[397]
Nineteen regional languages act as auxiliary official languages used as media of instruction: Aklanon, Bikol, Cebuano, Chavacano, Hiligaynon, Ibanag, Ilocano, Ivatan, Kapampangan, Kinaray-a, Maguindanao, Maranao, Pangasinan, Sambal, Surigaonon, Tagalog, Tausug, Waray, and Yakan.[4] Other indigenous languages such as, Cuyonon, Ifugao, Itbayat, Kalinga, Kamayo, Kankanaey, Masbateño, Romblomanon, Manobo, and several Visayan languages are prevalent in their respective provinces.[398] Article 3 of Republic Act No. 11106 declared the Filipino Sign Language as the national sign language of the Philippines, specifying that it shall be recognized, supported and promoted as the medium of official communication in all transactions involving the deaf, and as the language of instruction of deaf education.[399][400]
Religion

The Philippines is a secular state which protects freedom of religion. Christianity is the dominant faith,[401][402] shared by about 89% of the population.[5] As of 2013, the country had the world's third largest Roman Catholic population, and was the largest Christian nation in Asia.[403] Census data from 2015 found that about 79.53% of the population professed Catholicism.[404] Around 37% of the population regularly attend Mass. 29% of self-identified Catholics consider themselves very religious.[405] An independent Catholic church, the Philippine Independent Church, has around 66,959 adherents.[404] Protestants were 9.13% of the population in 2015.[406] 2.64% of the population are members of Iglesia ni Cristo.[404] The combined following of the Philippine Council of Evangelical Churches comes to 2.42% of the total population.[404][407]
Islam is the second largest religion. The Muslim population of the Philippines was reported as 6.01% of the total population according to census returns in 2015.[404] Conversely, a 2012 report by the National Commission of Muslim Filipinos (NCMF) stated that about 10,700,000 or 11% of Filipinos are Muslims.[401] The majority of Muslims live in Mindanao and nearby islands.[402][408] Most practice Sunni Islam under the Shafi'i school.[409][410]
The percentage of combined positive atheist and agnostic people in the Philippines was measured to be about 3% of the population as of 2008.[411] The 2015 Philippine Census reported the religion of about 0.02% of the population as "none".[404] A 2014 survey by Gallup International Association reported that 21% of its respondents identify as "not a religious person".[412] Around 0.24% of the population practice indigenous Philippine folk religions,[404] whose practices and folk beliefs are often syncretized with Christianity and Islam.[413][414] Buddhism is practiced by around 0.03% of the population,[404] concentrated among Filipinos of Chinese descent.[415]
Health

In 2016, 63.1% of healthcare came from private expenditures while 36.9% was from the government (12.4% from the national government, 7.1% from the local government, and 17.4% from social health insurance).[416] Total health expenditure share in GDP for the year 2016 was 4.5%. Per capita health expenditure rate in 2015 was US$323, which was one of the lowest in Southeast Asia.[417] The budget allocation for Healthcare in 2019 was ₱98.6 billion[418] and had an increase in budget in 2014 with a record high in the collection of taxes from the House Bill 5727 (commonly known as Sin tax Bill).[419]
There were 101,688 hospital beds in the country in 2016, with government hospital beds accounting for 47% and private hospital beds for 53%.[420] In 2009, there were an estimated 90,370 physicians or 1 per every 833 people, 480,910 nurses and 43,220 dentists.[421] Retention of skilled practitioners is a problem. Seventy percent of nursing graduates go overseas to work. As of 2007, the Philippines was the largest supplier of nurses for export.[422] The Philippines suffers a triple burden of high levels of communicable diseases, high levels of non-communicable diseases, and high exposure to natural disasters.[423]
In 2018, there were 1,258 hospitals licensed by the Department of Health, of which 433 (34%) were government-run and 825 (66%) private.[424] A total of 20,065 barangay health stations (BHS) and 2,590 rural health units (RHUs) provide primary care services throughout the country as of 2016.[425] Cardiovascular diseases account for more than 35% of all deaths.[426][427] 9,264 cases of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) were reported for the year 2016, with 8,151 being asymptomatic cases.[428] At the time the country was considered a low-HIV-prevalence country, with less than 0.1% of the adult population estimated to be HIV-positive.[429] HIV/AIDS cases increased from 12,000 in 2005[430] to 39,622 as of 2016, with 35,957 being asymptomatic cases.[428]
There is improvement in patients access to medicines due to Filipinos' growing acceptance of generic drugs, with 6 out of 10 Filipinos already using generics.[431] While the country's universal healthcare implementation is underway as spearheaded by the state-owned Philippine Health Insurance Corporation,[432] most healthcare-related expenses are either borne out of pocket[433] or through health maintenance organization (HMO)-provided health plans. As of April 2020, there are only about 7 million individuals covered by these plans.[434]
Education
![](https://web.archive.org/web/20220629121557im_/https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fe/Main_Bulding_of_the_University_of_Santo_Tomas.jpg/220px-Main_Bulding_of_the_University_of_Santo_Tomas.jpg)
The Philippines had a simple literacy rate of 98.3% as of 2015, and a functional literacy rate of 90.3% as of 2013.[435] Education takes up a significant proportion of the national budget. In the 2020 budget, education was allocated PHP17.1 billion from the PHP4.1 trillion budget.[436]
The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) lists 2,180 higher education institutions, among which 607 are public and 1,573 are private.[437] Classes start in June and end in March. The majority of colleges and universities follow a semester calendar from June to October and November to March, while some have adopted an increasingly common semester calendar from August to December and January to May.[438] Primary and secondary schooling is divided between a 6-year elementary period, a 4-year junior high school period, and a 2-year senior high school period.[439][440][441] As of 2021–2022, the Department of Education considered September 13, 2021 as the opening date of the school year. The school year will last 209 days and will end on June 24, 2022.[442]
The Department of Education (DepEd) covers elementary, secondary, and non-formal education.[443] The Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) administers middle-level education training and development.[444][445] The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) was created in 1994 to, among other functions, formulate and recommend development plans, policies, priorities, and programs on higher education and research.[446]
In 2004, madaris were mainstreamed in 16 regions nationwide, mainly in Muslim areas in Mindanao under the auspices and program of the Department of Education.[447] Public universities are all non-sectarian entities, and are further classified as State Universities and Colleges (SUC) or Local Colleges and Universities (LCU).[437] The University of the Philippines, a system of eight constituent universities, is the national university system of the Philippines.[448] The country's top ranked universities are as follows: University of the Philippines, Ateneo de Manila University, De La Salle University, and University of Santo Tomas.[449][450][451] The University of Santo Tomas, established in 1611, has the oldest extant university charter in the Philippines and Asia.[452][453]
Economy
In 2020, the Philippine economy produced an estimated gross domestic product (nominal) of $367.4 billion.[454] Primary exports in 2019 included integrated circuits, office machinery/parts, insulated wiring, semiconductors, transformers; major trading partners included China (16%), United States (15%), Japan (13%), Hong Kong (12%), Singapore (7%), Germany (5%).[6] Its unit of currency is the Philippine peso (₱[455] or PHP[456]).[457]
A newly industrialized country,[458][459] the Philippine economy has been transitioning from one based upon agriculture to an economy with more emphasis upon services and manufacturing.[458] Of the country's 2018 labor force of around 43.46 million, the agricultural sector employed 24.3%,[460] and accounted for 8.1% of 2018 GDP.[461] The industrial sector employed around 19% of the workforce and accounted for 34.1% of GDP, while 57% of the workers involved in the services sector were responsible for 57.8% of GDP.[461][462]
The unemployment rate as of October 2019, stands at 4.5%.[463] Meanwhile, due to lower charges in basic necessities, the inflation rate eased to 1.7% in August 2019.[464] Gross international reserves as of October 2013 are $83.201 billion.[465] The debt-to-GDP ratio continues to decline to 37.6% as of the second quarter of 2019[466][467] from a record high of 78% in 2004.[468] The country is a net importer[469] but it is also a creditor nation.[470] Manila hosts the headquarters of the Asian Development Bank.[471]
The 1997 Asian Financial Crisis affected the economy, resulting in a lingering decline of the value of the peso and falls in the stock market. The extent it was affected initially was not as severe as that of some of its Asian neighbors. This was largely due to the fiscal conservatism of the government, partly as a result of decades of monitoring and fiscal supervision from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), in comparison to the massive spending of its neighbors on the rapid acceleration of economic growth.[157] There have been signs of progress since. In 2004, the economy experienced 6.4% GDP growth and 7.1% in 2007, its fastest pace of growth in three decades.[473][474] Average annual GDP growth per capita for the period 1966–2007 still stands at 1.45% in comparison to an average of 5.96% for the East Asia and the Pacific region as a whole. The daily income for 45% of the population of the Philippines remains less than $2.[475][476][477][obsolete source]
Remittances from overseas Filipinos contribute significantly to the Philippine economy.[478] Remittances peaked in 2006 at 10.4% of the national GDP, and were 8.6% and 8.5% in 2012 and in 2014 respectively.[478] In 2014 the total worth of foreign exchange remittances was US$28 billion.[479] Regional development is uneven, with Luzon – Metro Manila in particular – gaining most of the new economic growth at the expense of the other regions.[480][481] Service industries such as tourism[482] and business process outsourcing have been identified as areas with some of the best opportunities for growth for the country.[483] The Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) industry is composed of eight sub-sectors, namely, knowledge process outsourcing and back offices, animation, call centers, software development, game development, engineering design, and medical transcription.[484] In 2010, the Philippines was reported as having eclipsed India as the main center of BPO services in the world.[485][486][487]
Science and technology
The Department of Science and Technology is the governing agency responsible for the development of coordination of science and technology-related projects in the Philippines.[488] Research organizations in the country include the International Rice Research Institute,[489] which focuses on the development of new rice varieties and rice crop management techniques.[490]
The Philippines bought its first satellite in 1996.[491] In 2016, the Philippines first micro-satellite, Diwata-1 was launched aboard the US Cygnus spacecraft.[492] The Philippines has a high concentration of cellular phone users.[493] Text messaging is a popular form of communication and, in 2007, the nation sent an average of one billion SMS messages per day.[494] The country has a high level of mobile financial services utilization.[495] The Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company, commonly known as PLDT, is a formerly nationalized telecommunications provider.[493] It is also the largest company in the country.[496] The National Telecommunications Commission is the agency responsible for the supervision, adjudication and control over all telecommunications services throughout the country.[497] There are approximately 417 AM and 1079 FM radio stations and 438 television and 1,551 cable television stations.[498] On March 29, 1994, the country was connected to the Internet via a 64 kbit/s connection from a router serviced by PLDT to a Sprint router in California.[499] Estimates for Internet penetration in the Philippines vary widely ranging from a low of 2.5 million to a high of 24 million people.[500][501] Social networking and watching videos are among the most frequent Internet activities.[502] The Philippine population is the world's top internet user.[503] The Philippines was ranked 51st in the Global Innovation Index in 2021, it has increased its ranking considerably since 2014, where it was ranked 100th.[504][505][506][507]
Tourism

The travel and tourism sector contributed 10.6% of the country's GDP in 2015[508] and providing 1,226,500 jobs in 2013.[509] 8,260,913 international visitors arrived from January to December 2019, up by 15.24% for the same period in 2018.[510] 58.62% (4,842,774) of these came from East Asia, 15.84% (1,308,444) came from North America, and 6.38% (526,832) came from other ASEAN countries.[435] The island of Boracay, popular for its beaches, was named as the best island in the world by Travel + Leisure in 2012.[511] The Philippines is also a popular retirement destination for foreigners due to its climate and low cost of living.[512]
Infrastructure
Transportation
Transportation in the Philippines is facilitated by road, air, rail and waterways. As of December 2018, there are 210,528 kilometers (130,816 mi) of roads in the Philippines, with only 65,101 kilometers (40,452 mi) of roads paved.[513] The 919-kilometer (571 mi) Strong Republic Nautical Highway (SRNH), an integrated set of highway segments and ferry routes covering 17 cities was established in 2003.[514] The Pan-Philippine Highway connects the islands of Luzon, Samar, Leyte, and Mindanao, forming the backbone of land-based transportation in the country.[515] Roads are the dominant form of transport, carrying 98% of people and 58% of cargo. A network of expressways extends from the capital to other areas of Luzon.[516] The 8.25-kilometer (5.13 mi) Cebu–Cordova Link Expressway in Cebu will be finished by 2021.[517] Traffic is a significant issue facing the country, especially within Manila and on arterial roads connecting to the capital.[518]
Public transport in the country include buses, jeepneys, UV Express, TNVS, Filcab, taxis, and tricycles.[519][520] Jeepneys are a popular and iconic public utility vehicle.[521] Jeepneys and other Public Utility Vehicles which are older than 15 years are being phased out gradually in favor of a more efficient and environmentally friendly Euro 4 compliant vehicles.[522][523]
Despite wider historical use, rail transport in the Philippines is extremely limited, being confined to transporting passengers within Metro Manila and neighboring Laguna, with a separate short track in the Bicol Region.[524] There are plans to revive Freight transport to reduce road congestion.[525][526] As of 2019, the country had a railway footprint of only 79 kilometers, which it had plans to expand up to 244 kilometers.[527][528] Metro Manila is served by three rapid transit lines: LRT Line 1, LRT Line 2 and MRT Line 3.[529][530][531] The PNR South Commuter Line transports passengers between Metro Manila and Laguna.[532] Railway lines that are under-construction include the 4-kilometer (2.5 mi) Line 2 East Extension Project (2020),[533] the 22.8-kilometer (14.2 mi) MRT Line 7 (2020),[534] the 35-kilometer (22 mi) Metro Manila Subway (2025),[535] and the 109-kilometer (68 mi) PNR North–South Commuter Railway which is divided into several phases, with partial operations to begin in 2022.[536] The civil airline industry is regulated by the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines.[537] Philippine Airlines is Asia's oldest commercial airline still operating under its original name.[538][539] Cebu Pacific is the countries leading low-cost carrier.[540]
As an archipelago, inter-island travel using watercraft is often necessary.[541] Boats have always been important to societies in the Philippines.[542][543] Most boats are double-outrigger vessels, which can reach up to 30 meters (98 ft) in length, known as banca[544]/bangka,[545] parao, prahu, or balanghay. A variety of boat types are used throughout the islands, such as dugouts (baloto) and house-boats like the lepa-lepa.[543] Terms such as bangka and baroto are also used as general names for a variety of boat types.[545] Modern ships use plywood in place of logs and motor engines in place of sails.[544] These ships are used both for fishing and for inter-island travel.[545] The principal seaports of Manila, Batangas, Subic Bay, Cebu, Iloilo, Davao, Cagayan de Oro, General Santos, and Zamboanga form part of the ASEAN Transport Network.[546][547] The Pasig River Ferry serves the cities of Manila, Makati, Mandaluyong, Pasig and Marikina in Metro Manila.[548][549]
Water supply and sanitation
In 2015, it was reported by the Joint Monitoring Programme for Water Supply and Sanitation that 74% of the population had access to improved sanitation, and that "good progress" had been made between 1990 and 2015.[550] As of 2016, 96% of Filipino households have an improved source of drinking water, and 92% of households had sanitary toilet facilities, although connections of these toilet facilities to appropriate sewerage systems remain largely insufficient especially in rural and urban poor communities.[551]
Culture
![](https://web.archive.org/web/20220629121557im_/https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/67/Ati-Atihan_Festival_Participant.jpg/220px-Ati-Atihan_Festival_Participant.jpg)
There is significant cultural diversity across the islands, reinforced by the fragmented geography of the country.[552] The cultures within Mindanao and the Sulu Archipelago developed in a particularly distinct manner, due to very limited degree of Spanish influence and greater influence from nearby Islamic regions.[553] Despite this, a national identity emerged in the 19th century, the development of which is represented by shared national symbols and other cultural and historical touchstones.[552]
One of the most visible Hispanic legacies is the prevalence of Spanish names and surnames among Filipinos; a Spanish name and surname, however, does not necessarily denote Spanish ancestry. This peculiarity, unique among the people of Asia, came as a result of a colonial edict by Governor-General Narciso Clavería y Zaldua, which ordered the systematic distribution of family names and implementation of Hispanic nomenclature on the population.[554] The names of many locations are also Spanish, or stem from Spanish roots and origins.[555]
There is a substantial American influence on modern Filipino culture.[262] The common use of the English language is an example of the American impact on Philippine society. It has contributed to the influence of American pop cultural trends.[556] This affinity is seen in Filipinos' consumption of fast food and American film and music.[557] American global fast-food chain stalwarts have entered the market, but local fast-food chains like Goldilocks[558] and most notably Jollibee, the leading fast-food chain in the country, have emerged and compete successfully against foreign chains.[559]
The Ati-Atihan, Dinagyang, Moriones and Sinulog festivals are among the most well-known.[560][561][562]
Values
As a general description, the distinct value system of Filipinos is rooted primarily in personal alliance systems, especially those based in kinship, obligation, friendship, religion (particularly Christianity), and commercial relationships.[563]
Filipino values are, for the most part, centered around maintaining social harmony, motivated primarily by the desire to be accepted within a group. The main sanction against diverging from these values are the concepts of "Hiya", roughly translated as 'a sense of shame',[564] and "Amor propio" or 'self-esteem'.[565] Social approval, acceptance by a group, and belonging to a group are major concerns. Caring about what others will think, say or do, are strong influences on social behavior among Filipinos.[566]
Other elements of the Filipino value system are optimism about the future, pessimism about present situations and events, concern and care for other people, the existence of friendship and friendliness, the habit of being hospitable, religious nature, respectfulness to self and others, respect for the female members of society, the fear of God, and abhorrence of acts of cheating and thievery.[567][568]
Architecture
![](https://web.archive.org/web/20220629121557im_/https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5a/Vigan_Calle_Crisologo_5.jpg/220px-Vigan_Calle_Crisologo_5.jpg)
Spanish architecture has left an imprint in the Philippines in the way many towns were designed around a central square or plaza mayor, but many of the buildings bearing its influence were demolished during World War II.[49] Four Philippine baroque churches are included in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites: the San Agustín Church in Manila, Paoay Church in Ilocos Norte, Nuestra Señora de la Asunción (Santa María) Church in Ilocos Sur, and Santo Tomás de Villanueva Church in Iloilo.[569] Vigan in Ilocos Sur is also known for the many Hispanic-style houses and buildings preserved there.[570]
American rule introduced new architectural styles. This led to the construction of government buildings and Art Deco theaters. During the American period, some semblance of city planning using the architectural designs and master plans by Daniel Burnham was done on the portions of the city of Manila. Part of the Burnham plan was the construction of government buildings that resembled Greek or Neoclassical architecture.[571] In Iloilo, structures from both the Spanish and American periods can still be seen, especially in Calle Real.[572][better source needed] Certain areas of the country like Batanes have slight differences as both Spanish and Filipino ways of architecture assimilated differently due to the climate. Limestones were used as a building material, with houses being built to withstand typhoons.[573]
Performing arts
![](https://web.archive.org/web/20220629121557im_/https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5b/Folklore_of_the_popular_heritage_of_the_State_of_the_Philippines_05.jpg/220px-Folklore_of_the_popular_heritage_of_the_State_of_the_Philippines_05.jpg)
In general, there are two types of Philippine traditional folk dance. The first one reflects the influence under the Spanish occupation and the other, the country's profuseness of tribes that offer their own tribal dances. The music that incorporates the former are mostly bandurria-based bands that utilizes 14th string guitars. One example of such type is the Cariñosa. A Hispanic Filipino dance, unofficially considered as the "National Dance of the Philippines".[574] Another example is the Tinikling.[575] While native dances had become less popular over time,[576]: 77 a revival of folk dances began in the 1920s.[576]: 82 In the Modern and Post-Modern time periods, dances may vary from the delicate ballet up to the more street-oriented styles of breakdancing.[577][578]
Locally produced spoken dramas became established in the late 1870s. Around the same time, Spanish influence led to the introduction of zarzuela plays which integrated musical pieces,[579] and of comedia plays which included more significant dance elements. Such performances became popular throughout the country,[576]: 69–70 and were written in a number of local languages.[579] American influence led to the introduction of vaudeville and ballet.[576]: 69–70 During the 20th century the realism genre became more dominant, with performances written to focus on contemporary political and societal issues.[579]
During the Spanish era Rondalya music, where traditional string orchestra mandolin type instruments were used, was widespread.[580] Kundiman developed in the 1920s and 1930s,[581] and had a renaissance in the postwar period.[582] The American colonial period exposed many Filipinos to US culture and popular forms of music.[581] Rock music was introduced to Filipinos in the 1960s, and developed into Filipino rock, or "Pinoy rock", a term encompassing diverse styles such as pop rock, alternative rock, heavy metal, punk, new wave, ska, and reggae. Martial law in the 1970s produced several Filipino folk rock bands and artists who were at the forefront of political demonstrations.[583] The 1970s also saw the birth of Manila Sound[584] and Original Pilipino Music (OPM).[585] Filipino hip-hop traces its origins back to 1979, entering the mainstream in 1990.[586][587] Karaoke is a popular activity in the country.[588] From 2010 to 2020, Philippine pop music or P-pop went through a huge metamorphosis in its increased quality, budget, investment, and variety, matching the country's rapid economic growth, and an accompanying social and cultural resurgence of its Asian identity. This was heard by heavy influence from K-pop and J-pop, growth in Asian style ballads, idol groups, and EDM music, and less reliance on Western genres, mirroring the Korean wave and similar Japanese wave popularity among millennial Filipinos and mainstream culture.[citation needed]
Literature
Philippine mythology has been handed down primarily through the traditional oral folk literature of the Filipino people. Some popular figures from Philippine mythologies are Maria Makiling, Lam-Ang, and the Sarimanok.[589]
Philippine literature comprises works usually written in Filipino, Spanish, or English. Some of the most known were created from the 17th to 19th century.[590] Adarna, for example, is a famous epic about an eponymous magical bird allegedly written by José de la Cruz or "Huseng Sisiw".[591] Francisco Balagtas, the poet and playwright who wrote Florante at Laura, is recognized as a preeminent writer in the Tagalog (Filipino) language.[592] José Rizal wrote the novels Noli Me Tángere (Touch Me Not) and El Filibusterismo (The Filibustering, also known as The Reign of Greed).[593]
Cinema
Philippine cinema began at the end of the 19th century,[594] and made up around 20% of the domestic market during the second half of the 20th century. During the 21st century however, the industry has struggled to compete with larger budget foreign films.[595] Critically acclaimed Philippines films include Himala (Miracle).[596][597][598] Moving pictures were first shown in the Philippines on January 1, 1897.[599][600] All films were all in Spanish since Philippine cinema was first introduced during the final years of the Spanish era of the country. Antonio Ramos was the first known movie producer.[601][602] Meanwhile, Jose Nepomuceno was dubbed as the "Father of Philippine Movies".[603] His work marked the start of the local production of movies. Production companies remained small during the era of silent film, but 1933 saw the emergence of sound films and the arrival of the first significant production company. The postwar 1940s and the 1950s are regarded as a high point for Philippine cinema.[111]
The growing dominance of Hollywood films and the cost of production has severely reduced local filmmaking.[604][605] Nonetheless, some local films continue to find success.[606][607]
Mass media
Philippine media uses mainly Filipino and English, though broadcasting has shifted to Filipino.[393] There are large numbers of both radio stations and newspapers.[608] The top three newspapers by nationwide readership as well as credibility[609] are the Philippine Daily Inquirer, Manila Bulletin, and The Philippine Star.[610][611] While freedom of the press is protected by the constitution, the country is very dangerous for journalists.[608][612] The dominant television networks were ABS-CBN and GMA, both being free to air.[608] ABS-CBN, at the time the largest network[613] was shut down following a cease and desist order issued by the National Telecommunications Commission on May 5, 2020, a day after the expiration of the network's franchise.[614] Prior to this move, Duterte accused ABS-CBN of being biased against his administration and vowed to block the renewal of their franchise. However, critics of the Duterte administration, human rights groups, and media unions said the shutdown of ABS-CBN was an attack on press freedom.[613][615] On July 10, 2020, the House of Representatives declined a renewal of ABS-CBN's TV and radio franchise, voted 70–11.[613]
TV, the Internet,[616] and social media, particularly Facebook, remain the top source of news and information for the majority of Filipinos as newspaper readership continues to decline.[617][618] English broadsheets are popular among executives, professionals and students.[619] Cheaper Tagalog tabloids, which feature crime, sex, gossips and gore, saw a rise in the 1990s, and tend to be popular among the masses, particularly in Manila.[619][620][621]
Cuisine
Regional variations exist throughout the islands, for example rice is a standard starch in Luzon while cassava is more common in Mindanao.[622] Filipino taste buds tend to favor robust flavors,[623] but the cuisine is not as spicy as those of its neighbors.[624][failed verification]
Unlike many Asians, most Filipinos do not eat with chopsticks; they use Western cutlery. However, possibly due to rice being the primary staple food and the popularity of a large number of stews and main dishes with broth in Filipino cuisine, the main pairing of utensils seen at the Filipino dining table is that of spoon and fork, not knife and fork.[625]
The traditional way of eating with the hands known as kamayan (using the hand for bringing food to the mouth)[626] was previously more often seen in the less urbanized areas.[622] However, due to the various Filipino restaurants that introduced Filipino food to people of other nationalities, as well as to Filipino urbanites, kamayan fast became popular.[627][628] This recent trend also sometimes incorporates the "Boodle fight" concept (as popularized and coined by the Philippine Army), wherein banana leaves are used as giant plates on top of which rice portions and Filipino viands are placed all together for a filial, friendly or communal kamayan feasting.[629]
Sports
Basketball is played at both amateur and professional levels and is considered to be the most popular sport in the Philippines.[630] In 2010, Manny Pacquiao was named "Fighter of the Decade" for the 2000s by the Boxing Writers Association of America.[631] The national martial art and sport of the country is Arnis.[632][633] Sabong or cockfighting is another popular entertainment especially among Filipino men, and was documented by Magellan's voyage as a pastime in the kingdom of Taytay.[634]
Filipinos also play football, and their football team has participated in only one Asian Cup.[635] In January 2022, the Philippines women's national football team qualified in their first FIFA World Cup - the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup after defeating Chinese Taipei 4–3 in a penalty shootout after finishing 1–1 in extra time.
Beginning in 1924, the Philippines has competed in every Summer Olympic Games, except when they participated in the American-led boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympics.[636][637] The Philippines is also the first tropical nation to compete at the Winter Olympic Games debuting in the 1972 edition.[638][639] In 2021, the country tallied its first ever Olympic gold medal via weightlifter Hidilyn Diaz's victory at the delayed Tokyo Olympics.[640]

Each boat carried a large family group, and the master of the boat retained power as leader, or datu, of the village established by his family. This form of village social organization can be found as early as the 13th century in Panay, Bohol, Cebu, Samar and Leyte in the Visayas, and in Batangas, Pampanga and Tondo in Luzon. Evidence suggests a considerable degree of independence as small city-states with their heads known as datu, rajah or sultan.

Given the significance of the size and distribution of the population to the spread of diseases and their ability to become endemic, it is worth commenting briefly on the physical and human geography of the Philippines. The hot and humid tropical climate would have generally favored the propagation of many diseases, especially water-borne infections, though there might be regional or seasonal variations in climate that might affect the incidence of some diseases. In general, however, the fact that the Philippines comprise some seven thousand islands, some of which are uninhabited even today, would have discouraged the spread of infections, as would the low population density.

To pursue their mission of conquest, the Spaniards dealt individually with each settlement or village and with each province or island until the entire Philippine archipelago was brought under imperial control. They saw to it that the people remained divided or compartmentalized and with the minimum of contact or communication. The Spaniards adopted the policy of divide et impera (divide and conquer).

Tomás de Comyn, general manager of the Compañia Real de Filipinas, in 1810 estimated that out of a total population of 2,515,406, "the European Spaniards, and Spanish creoles and mestizos do not exceed 4,000 persons of both sexes and all ages, and the distinct castes or modifications known in America under the name of mulatto, quarteroons, etc., although found in the Philippine Islands, are generally confounded in the three classes of pure Indians, Chinese mestizos and Chinese". In other words, the Mexicans who had arrived in the previous century had so intermingled with the local population that distinctions of origin had been forgotten by the 19th century. The Mexicans who came with Legázpi and aboard succeeding vessels had blended with the local residents so well that their country of origin had been erased from memory.

The galleon activities also attracted a great number of Mexican men that arrived from the Mexican Pacific coast as ships' crewmembers (Grant 2009: 230). Mexicans were administrators, priests and soldiers (guachinangos or hombres de pueblo) (Bernal 1964: 188) many though, integrated into the peasant society, even becoming tulisanes 'bandits' who in the late 18th century "infested" Cavite and led peasant revolts (Medina 2002: 66). Meanwhile, in the Spanish garrisons, Spanish was used among administrators and priests. Nonetheless, there is not enough historical information on the social role of these men. In fact some of the few references point to a quick integration into the local society: "los hombres del pueblo, los soldados y marinos, anónimos, olvidados, absorbidos en su totalidad por la población Filipina." (Bernal 1964: 188). In addition to the Manila-Acapulco galleon, a complex commercial maritime system circulated European and Asian commodities including slaves. During the 17th century, Portuguese vessels traded with the ports of Manila and Cavite, even after the prohibition of 1644 (Seijas 2008: 21). Crucially, the commercial activities included the smuggling and trade of slaves: "from the Moluccas, and Malacca, and India … with the monsoon winds" carrying "clove spice, cinnamon, and pepper and black slaves, and Kafir [slaves]" (Antonio de Morga cf Seijas 2008: 21). Though there is no data on the numbers of slaves in Cavite, the numbers in Manila suggest a significant fraction of the population had been brought in as slaves by the Portuguese vessels. By 1621, slaves in Manila numbered 1,970 out of a population of 6,110. This influx of slaves continued until late in the 17th century; according to contemporary cargo records in 1690, 200 slaves departed from Malacca to Manila (Seijas 2008: 21). Different ethnicities were favored for different labor; Africans were brought to work on the agricultural production, and skilled slaves from India served as caulkers and carpenters.

The early modern revival of the Reconquista in the Philippines had a profound effect on the islands, one that is still being felt today. As described above, the Spanish Reconquista served to unify Christians against a common Moro enemy, helping to bring together Castilian, Catalan, Galician, and Basque peoples into a single political unit: Spain. In precolonial times, the Philippine islands were a divided and unspecified part of the Malay archipelago, one inhabited by dozens of ethnolinguistic groups, residing in countless independent villages, strewn across thousands of islands. By the end of the seventeenth century, however, a dramatic change had happened in the archipelago. A multiethnic community had come together to form the colonial beginnings of a someday nation: the Philippines. The powerful influence of Christian-Moro antagonisms on the formation of the early Philippines remains evident more than four hundred years later, as the Philippine national government continues to grapple with Moro separatists groups, even in 2013.

The cultural identity of the mestizos was challenged as they became increasingly aware that they were true members of neither the indio nor the Chinese community. Increasingly powerful but adrift, they linked with the Spanish mestizos, who were also being challenged because after the Latin American revolutions broke the Spanish Empire, many of the settlers from the New World, Caucasian Creoles born in Mexico or Peru, became suspect in the eyes of the Iberian Spanish. The Spanish Empire had lost its universality.
