 ASIAN CONTACTS

Numerous Asian countries have

influenced the Philippines in our
arts, culture and tradition. Before
Western colonization, the
Philippines had two major
influences: China and India.

The Philippines was also influenced

by other Asian countries such as
Indonesia, Thailand, Japan, etc.

CHINA
Between the 10th and 16th centuries and
before the Spanish colonization, Chinese
traders sailed to the Philippines. They
brought porcelain and silk, in exchange
for beeswax, deer horn and trepan (sea
slug)
The Filipino-Chinese Trade started during
the T'ang dynasty.
The trade with China was the beginning
of a major influence and contribution
within the FIlipino culture. One major
influence that the Chinese contributed
within the culture was culinary arts.

THAILAND
The Philippines established formal
diplomatic relations with Thailand
on June 14, 1949. The relations
between the two are described as
warm and friendly. Thailand is one
of the Philippines' major trade
partners and one of the
Philippines' sources of rice
through Thai exports.
In many ways, Thailand and the
Philippines are similar when it comes to
how they value the culture of being
polite.
There are certain rules observed when it
comes to greetings dealing with the
elders and what to do when in public.
These practices have long been observed
in both countries and until now, they
remain relevant.
 How to Greet Politely
The general greeting in Thailand is
“Sawadee.” When saying the word, it
usually comes with a gesture called “wai.”
In doing so, you must clasp your hand as if
you are about to pray, placing them closer
to your chest and then slightly bend your
body forward.

The same thing is done when asking

for an apology from someone. If the
mistake committed is more serious,
some others even bend down on
their knees.
In the Philippines, there are many ways to greet
someone. For elders, it is usually done by
doing a “mano.”

For close friends, especially girls, it is done with

a kiss of the cheek, also referred to as “beso”

sexes.
 Indonesia
Indonesia–Philippines relations are the
bilateral relations between Indonesia and
the Philippines. The two countries
established diplomatic relations in 1949.
Since then, both countries enjoy cordial MALONG
bilateral relationship in spirit of kinship.

The two countries are considered allies and it

is considered as one of the most important
bilateral relationships in ASEAN. Both “malong" an important part of their traditional

On March 16, 1521, Ferdinand Magellan, a
Portuguese explorer sailing for Spain,
arrived in the Philippines.He first landed
on the island of Homonhon, and explored
several islands before arriving at Cebu. At
Cebu, he baptized and converted
Philippine natives to Christianity.
The chief of Cebu admired Magellan, and
asked him to kill a rival chief in a nearby
island of Mactan. The chief of Mactan was
Lapu-Lapu.
Magellan and his comrades went to Mactan,
and wanted Lapu Lapu and his people to bow
before the chief of Cebu, succumb to Spanish
ruling, and be converted and baptized as
Christians. Lapu-Lapu rejected the offer and
The Battle of Mactan began. Magellan and his
comrades attacked Lapu-Lapu and his tribe,
but were overpowered.
The war ended within two hours, and the
Spaniards were defeated by Lapu-Lapu and
his tribe. Ferdinand Magellan was struck by a
bamboo spear and died on the island of
Mactan. Lapu-Lapu became the first hero of
the Philippines. Lapu-Lapu was the first
Filipino to resist Spanish colonization, and
delayed the Spanish conquest and conquering
of the Philippines for over 40 years.
