Posted by admin on November 23, 2007 in Business
Filipinos are the proper term for Philippines People (Filipina for females). The slang term for Filipinos is ‘Pinoy’ with ‘Pinay’ being used when referring to females. Filipinos are a mix of several cultures and people, though as a whole, Filipino are largely from Malay stock. Spanish and Chinese cultures have had a great influence on the Filipinos. American Culture has also made its mark as well. The Pinoy diaspora has resulted in millions of Filipinos living and working all over the world. There are more than a hundred languages spoken throughout the archipelago but you could get by on just English and Filipino. It would be handy to know the other languages as well.
