Who are the Austronesians in
the Philippines?
According to historians, some 5,000 to
6,000 years ago, groups of people from
Indonesia and Malaysia arrived in the
islands of the Philippines to be its first
settlers. Both of these countries belong to
the Austronesian region and they
brought with them their own cultures,
traditions as well as languages.
What are Filipino mixed with?
We are proud of our heritage at the rim of
East Asia, the meeting point of the many
Asian groups, as well as Europeans from
Spain. Our culture even 100 years ago was
already a mix —of Malay, Chinese, Hindu,
Arab, Polynesian and Spanish, with maybe
some English, Japanese and African thrown
in.
