It is known that Filipinos are influenced by few colonizers, most notably, Spaniards, Americans, Chinese, Indians and Japanese. As a result, there is not really something one can call to be uniquely Filipino, or at least something that's known the world over. Take for instance, is Philippines' ADOBO as well-known as Japs' SUSHI and SASHIMI or Italy's SPAGHETTI ? Take another example, can you associate BOXING to the Philippines as how most people associate MUAY THAI KICKBOXING to Thailand? Of course the answer is no, since boxing never started at all in the Philippines, right? By far, I say, our greatest contribution perhaps to the world, is MANNY PACQUIAO's success which I say will not be as lasting as what CHINESE have shared to the world: Feng Shui, Chopsticks, Bruce Lee, the omnipresent Chinese Food, ChinaTowns in most metropolis, and hundreds of others. India is far better, KAMA SUTRA, for a short time, became known to people worldwide. Filipinos, wake up!
