Abstract
Filipinos, predominantly of Malayan ancestry, have been influenced by the neighboring Chinese, Japanese, East Indian, Indonesian, Malaysian, and Islamic cultures and by influences from Spanish and American colonization. The Philippine archipelago consists of 7107 islands. The tropical climate is suitable for year-round agriculture and fishing, but it is affected by the seasonal northeast and southwest monsoons.
