... is a little bit of all the cultures put together. The bayanihan or spirit of kinship and camaraderie that Filipinos are famous for is said to be taken from Malay forefathers. The close family relations are said to have been inherited from the Chinese. The piousness comes from the Spaniards who introduced Christianity in the 16th century.
Hospitality is a common denominator in the Filipino character and this is what distinguishes the Filipino.

history
Several thousand years ago, the first settlers in the Philippines crossed shallow seas and land bridges from mainland Asia to arrive in this group of islands. These were the Negritos or Aetas related to Melanesians, Australian Aborigines and Papuans. Direct descendants of these people can still be found, especially in Negros Oriental.
Several thousand years later, Austronesian settlers travelled the same route as the Negritos - but this time over sea in their impressive Balangay boats.

under spanish rule
When the explorer Ferdinand Magellan set foot on the soil through the island of Homonhon in 1521, the Philippines was predominantly animist, with some Muslim and Hindu inhabitants mainly in the southern part of the country. Famished, Magellan's crew were treated to a feast by the welcoming islanders who wore elaborate tattoos. Lapu-Lapu, a native chief of Mactan island, was against the Christianization of the natives. He fought a battle with Magellan where Lapu-Lapu won while Magellan was killed. The Philippines was later on named for Crown Prince Philip II of Spain and most of the natives converted to Catholicism.
The Manila Galleon trade made contact between the Philippines and Mexico as well as the whole of the Americas. Spaniards and Natives from the Spanish colonies settled in the Philippines and introduced their cultures which then was embraced by the Filipinos.
The Philippines received heavy influence from Spain and its colonies (Today Mexico, Peru, etc.), and the archipelago became "hispanicized". The Philippines remained a Spanish colony for over 300 years until 1899 when it was ceded by Spain to the United States following the Spanish-American War.
road to independence
Filipinos declared independence from Spain on 12 June 1898 after defeating their Spanish occupiers, only to see Spain purport to give to the United States of America what was not theirs to give.
road to independence
Filipinos fought American colonization for seven long years . After the Filipinos had been out-gunned, relations between the US and their new Philippine colony continued relatively uneventfully and the Philippines were granted commonwealth status in 1935. Any time after this point, the Philippines could have become a US state or been given independence but the US prevaricated.

Pre-Modern era
Up until the 1960's, the Philippines were second only to Japan in terms of development in Asia. Two decades of rule by Ferdinand Marcos plunged the country into deep debt. In 1986, the People Power uprising finally overthrew the Marcos government. He was replaced by Corazon Aquino, widow of slain opposition leader, Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino, Jr.

modern era
Prior to the 21st century, corruption became one of the main problems of the country. The country suffered slightly in the 1997 Asian Financial crisis but led to a second EDSA which overthrew Pres. Joseph Estrada, the then Vice-President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo took his place. After her term ended in 2010, Benigno Aquino III was elected President. He was then succeeded by the present President of the Republic, Rodrigo R. Duterte. Thankfully due to the hard work of the Filipinos and the Philippines being a suitable work environment for foreigners due to a large English speaking population, growth in the Philippines was fast and caught up with its neighbors.
