Abstract
The Philippines have a complex history. Aspects of Indian, Arabic and Chinese culture spread to the early indigenous kingdoms of the Philippine archipelago, which were colonized by the Spanish in 1565, followed by the United States in 1898. The colonizers thought Native peoples had no civilization, so indigenous knowledge was relegated to the category of ‘superstition.’ National independence came in 1946 and, with it, a globalized business culture, which also disregarded indigenous knowledge. Finally, the recovery of indigenous heritage is now seen as vital, so that we may understand the full richness of our national identity.
