Socio Cultural

The Philippine culture has struggled with balancing local traditions and foreign influences since Western invasion in the 19th century. While some older tribal traditions remain, Spanish and American colonization greatly impacted Filipino music, arts, religion, values and language. Various ethnic groups exist across the islands with linguistic differences defining ethnic identities. However, the culture also faces challenges like population growth, poverty, and religious/ethnic conflicts that are products of its colonial past and current power structures.

and singkil continue to be popular.
