Filippino

Filipino refers to the people, language, and culture of the Philippines, an archipelago in Southeast Asia. The term "Filipino" originally described the inhabitants of Spanish-ruled Philippines but now broadly encompasses all citizens of the country and the nation's cultural identity. The Filipino language, based primarily on Tagalog, is one of the country's official languages, alongside English. Filipino culture blends indigenous traditions with influences from Spain, the United States, China, and other countries, resulting in a vibrant, diverse heritage reflected in music, cuisine, festivals, and social customs.
