languages in the Philippine constitution. Christianity is the main religion, with Roman
Catholicism making up the majority of the population. Throughout the colonial era the term

3. "Filipino" originally referred to the Spaniards, and mestizos. The definition was later applied to
include all citizens, regardless of ethnic origin.
Ethnic groups
The majority of the people in the Philippines are of Austronesian descent. The largest of these
groups are the Visayan, Tagalog, Ilocano, Bicolano, Moro, the Kapampangan and
among others.
Various degrees of interracial marriage between ethnic groups have resulted in the formation of a
new ethnic group of people, collectively known as Filipino mestizos.
Languages
There are between 120 and 170 languages spoken in the country. Most of them have several
varieties (dialects), totaling over 300 across the archipelago. Since the 1930s the government has
promoted the use of the national language, Filipino, based on Tagalog.
English is considered an official language for purposes of communication and instruction.
Consequently, it is widely spoken and understood. Other non-indigenous languages spoken are
Spanish, Chinese, and Arabic.
Religion
About 80% of Filipinos are Roman Catholics, 5% are adherents of Islam, and 10% are Protestant
Christians, Iglesia ni Cristo (Church of Christ), Philippine Independent Church, Mormon, as well
as those of other religions, such as Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, and those with no religion
form a minority of the population.
Orthodox Christians also live in Philippines. Protestant Christianity arrived in the Philippines
during the 20th century, introduced by American missionaries.

4. Other religions include Judaism, Mahayana Buddhism, often mixed with Taoist beliefs,
Hinduism, and Sikhism. Animism and Paganism are also followed.
Education
Education in the Philippines is based on both Western and Eastern ideology and philosophy
influenced by both Spain and the United States. Filipino children enter public school at about age
four, starting from Nursery up to Kindergarten. At about seven years of age, children enter a
Elementary school (6 to 7 years). This is followed by Highschool (4 years). Students then apply
for College Entrance Examinations (CEE), after which they enter University (3 to 5 years).
