The best way to honor (preserve) your culture is by knowing your past. The word Philippines is the English version of Filipinas. The original name of the Philippines is Las Islas Filipinas named in honor of Rey Felipe II (King Philip II) of Spain. In reality, Philippine (Filipino) culture began when Ferdinand Magellan discovered the would be Philippines in March 16, 1521 -- prior to that date there was no Philippines or Filipinos, only a group of islands and islets inhabited by indigenous (local) people, there was no central government holding all the islands and people together in one cohesive manner. So if you speak of "Filipino", you are referring to the Hispanic (Spanish, Latin) culture of the Philippines, and the best way to preserve that culture is to learn the Spanish language and local dialects, history of the Philippines from 1521 onwards, read the works of Philippine authors, and see the works of Philippine artists from 1521 till the present. Remember, the history and culture of the Philippines did not start on June 12, 1898 (Independence Day), it started on March 16, 1521. In summary, know your history, be proud of your cuisine, language, traditions and beliefs, and be yourself -- that is the best way to honor your culture.
