The cultural evolution of the Philippines is complex. It is a blend of the Malayo-Polynesian and Hispanic cultures, with influence from Chinese.

They were first settled by Melanesians, which preserve a traditional way of life and culture today, even though they are few in number.

Malayo-Polynesians, arrived on the islands next. Their culture is strongly evident in the ethnicity, language, food, dance and almost every aspect of the culture. As a result of their trading with China, India, Japan, the Ryukyu islands, the Middle East, Borneo, and other places, those cultures have also left a mark on Filipino culture.

When the Spanish colonized the islands, they heavily impacted the culture. Mexican and Spanish influence can be seen in the dance and religion many other aspects of the culture.

After the colonization by Spain, the Philippines became a U.S. territory for about 40 years. United States' influence can be seen in the wide use of the English language and the modern pop culture.
