Filipino NYC is a small, but vibrant community that is very strong in health care.
We don’t consider ourselves Latin, but almost 300 years as a colony of Spain left many Latin influences. Manila was one end of the Manila-Acapulco Spanish galleon route.

The Filipino World
Grammy-winner Bruno Mars is one of the world’s most famous Filipinos.
Filipino Culture
The Philippines has a rich and diverse culture. The Indigenous culture has native, Southeast Asian, Chinese and Indonesian influences. Muslim spice traders brought Islamic influences.
The main impact of almost 400 years of colonial Spanish rule was Catholicism. Filipinos compete with Puerto Ricans for the world’s longest Christmas celebrations. There are also Spanish food and fashion influences. Manila was one end of the Spanish Pacific galleon route. There was some mixing of people. Then the Americans came.
So Filipino culture is a blend of all this, and unique in its own way.
