Question

Compose a reflection essay showing the differences of modern Filipino culture and the culture during pre-colonial times. Reflect on what ways do they differ and what ways are they similar. 

Answer 1

In the precolonial period, Filipinos are hospitable people who love to have a good time. This often includes getting together to sing, dance, and eat. The indigenous peoples engaged in healthy trade with various cultures and economies in the region that gave way to a long colonial period. Colonialization brought cultural and linguistic changes. The culture of the modern Philippines comprises a blend of traditional Filipino and Spanish Catholic traditions, with influences from America and other parts of Asia. The Filipinos are family oriented and often religious with an appreciation for art, fashion, music and food.
