Living the Filipino Way

Travel to Philippines

Brief History of the Philippines

The Philippines is a Southeast Asian archipelago with over 7,000 islands, rich in cultural fusion. Influenced by indigenous roots, Spanish colonization, and American governance, the country has evolved into a vibrant blend of East and West. From the ancient barangay system to 300+ years of Spanish rule and beyond, its resilient, community-driven culture remains the heart of Filipino life.

This cultural tapestry is reflected in everyday life—from the deep spirituality and colorful festivals like Sinulog and Ati-Atihan, to the warm hospitality known locally as “kapwa”, a strong sense of shared identity and connection with others. Filipino values such as family, respect, and bayanihan (community cooperation) remain central, making every visitor feel not just welcome, but part of the community.
