Best Answer

The Philippines was under Spanish rule for three centuries. There is Spanish and Mexican influence on Filipino culture, starting from the language, and following with religion, architecture and traditions. There are many names that come from Spanish, and names of cities and towns as well. Philippines is one of the two Asian countries that have a majority of people who identify themselves as Roman Catholic. Also, there are many Philippines dishes that come directly from Spanish and Mexican cuisine, such as Albondigas, Arroz a la Valenciana and Tamales.
