Asian influences in the Philippines survived Spanish colonization because the Spanish did not completely erase local cultural practices and traditions in the islands. The Filipinos were able to adapt and blend their native culture with Spanish influences, creating a unique hybrid culture. Additionally, the geography of the Philippines made it difficult for the Spanish to exert full control over the archipelago, allowing local customs to persist.
