Filipinos are citizens or people identified with the country of the Philippines, a diverse group with a rich culture blending indigenous, Asian, and Western influences, known for being warm, hospitable, and valuing family and relationships.
Filipino culture is a mix of indigenous traditions, influences from neighboring Asian countries, and the impact of Spanish and American colonial periods.
While Filipino (Tagalog) is the national language, English is also widely spoken, along with numerous other Philippine languages.
The majority of Filipinos are Catholic.
Filipinos are known for their strong family ties, hospitality, and respect for elders.
Natural-born Filipino citizens are citizens of the Philippines from birth without having to perform any act to acquire or perfect their Philippine citizenship. If they are born on and after 17 January 1973, their father or mother should be a Filipino citizen at the time of their birth.
