This document discusses the commonalities and differences between Philippine culture and the cultures of Southeast Asian countries. It states that the main basis of commonalities and differences is religion, with Buddhism influencing the arts in countries like Thailand, Indonesia, and Burma through architectural styles like pagodas and temples. Hinduism also influenced parts of Indonesia and Malaysia through sculptures. However, Buddhism and Hinduism are not strongly founded in the Philippines, leading to some differences in arts and culture compared to neighboring Buddhist countries. Islam is found in the Mindanao region of the Philippines and shares similarities with other Asian countries in architectural styles like mosques.
