The Philippines (An Excerpt) European, American, Hindu, Arabian, Chinese, and Malay influences have been assimilated to varying degrees in the country. If that doesn’t explain the Filipino character, it certainly provides a clue to the kaleidoscopic culture of the people. Nowhere else in Western culture is brought into such a charming blend as in the Philippines, where Orientals have American nicknames, and Spanish family names and speak Filipino and English. Nowhere else in Western culture also brought into such colorful contrast with other ways of life in this land where Igorots, Badjaos, and 52 ethnic groups follow age-old customs and traditions where 21st-century progress makes the country bustle at a frenetic pace without disturbing the leisurely clip-clop of calesas- horse-drawn carriages on old streets or the gentle swaying of bamboos in the countryside.

Persistence of the people is shown in their eagerness to please; and the persistence of the land that is bent on breaking down tourist resistance with its natural loveliness.
