Mabuhay!

                                

        Because the Philippines was conquered by Spain for almost 400 years, the Filipino culture is influenced by the Spanish. Influences like the "manana" habit on our people, words like "koneho" in our language, foods like "paella" and more have all been infused in our culture over the years. The Chinese have also made an impact on us because of centuries of trading, with culinary influences like "mami" and "lugaw".

        

 

        Besides these cultural influences, Filipinos are in a class all their own, unique and colorful. Filipinos are generally percieved as warm and friendly people. Our hospitality is world-renowned as is our breathtakingly beautiful white sand beaches. Tourists and foreigners are welcomed with a smile in the Philippines and kept here with the abundant laughter. We Filipinos are proud of our culture as well as heritage, and we give you a warm welcome into our site!
