The iconic Jeepney is a vehicle left over from the war
6. America ruled the Philippines for 44 years

Although the Philippines declared their independence from Spain, this happened in the middle of the Spanish-American war, and Spain handed the Philippines over to the United States when signing the Treaty of Paris on 10 December 1898.

The United States would not recognize the First Philippine Republic (who objected to the terms of the Treaty of Paris), and so began the Philippine-American War between 4 February 1899 and 2 July 1902. America emerged victorious and ruled for 44 years.

This war and US occupation lead to the introduction of English as the primary language of government, education, business, industry and among upper-class families and educated individuals.

The United States granted the Philippines independence after World War II on 4 July 1946.

The jeepney, an iconic mode of local transportation became popular when they were abandoned here after the war.

7. San Miguel is brewed in the Philippines

Beer drinkers may think San Miguel is a Spanish beer but it’s actually from the Philippines!

If you prefer a flavoured beer there is Lemon or Apple San Miguel.
​
Also from the San Miguel brewery, for a hangover that kicks like a mule, try the super-strong Red Horse which has an ABV of 6.9%.

Filipino's love to karaoke, but did you know they hold the patent?
9. The Philippines hold the patent to the karaoke Machine

Any visitor to the Philippines will know how crazy Filipinos are about karaoke, but did you know it’s a Filipino who holds the patent to the karaoke machine?

Although he didn’t invent the machine, Roberto del Rosario patented the “Sing Along System” in 1975, it’s for this reason some people believe he invented it (this accolade goes to the Japanese in 1971). 

Old crooners beware – Frank Sinatra’s “My Way” is banned in some places following the murder of six people after singing it in bars. So before you ask to sing this popular classic, be sure to hit the right notes!

Fun Fact: The word “Karaoke” was born after an orchestra went on strike and a machine was used in its place. Karaoke means empty orchestra in Japanese.

If you love Christmas, the Philippines is a great place to be!
11. Beware of the Fairies and Aswang

The Philippines is no exception, and although many have strong beliefs in mythical beings, folklore and superstitions, they won’t necessarily discuss it unless you also believe.

A belief for some is the reason for rainbows, it is said that the souls of those who died during a war, were murdered or eaten by crocodile’s reach heaven via a rainbow.

There are over 260 mythical beings from Philippine folklore. The Aswang are the most well known in the Cebu and Visayan region, and the most feared. When Filipinos speak of the Aswang, they are referring to Duwendes (which are dwarfs or hobgoblins), elves, fairies, shape-shifters or demons. It’s also a term loosely used to describe mythical beings with physical traits or habitats; vampires, wear-dogs, witches and ghouls which devour human corpses.

Children's toy the Yo-Yo was invented by a Filipino!
16. The Yo-Yo was invented by a Filipino

The Yo-Yo is the world’s second oldest toy and has been around for centuries in China, Egypt and Greece, however the word “yo-yo” and the modern day version is thanks to Pedro Flores, a Filipino immigrant living in the US.

Filipinos became experts yo-yo makers carving them out of wood, and as a child, Pedro would play with a basic version of the toy. 

In the 1920’s, Pedro Flores took this toy to the US, adapting the style of the yo-yo to what we know today. He began manufacturing it, became the first person to mass produce it from his small factory in California, and showed crowds of delighted people different tricks. 

A smart businessman named Donald Duncan saw Pedro “perform”, bought the company, patented the name and rest as they say is history.

The world's smallest primate is in the Philippines, and can be found on the back of the 200 peso note
17. The Philippines is home to the world’s smallest primate

The Tarsier, a fluffy Yoda-like animal with eyes the size of saucers, is the world’s smallest primate. A picture of this extremely shy creature from Leyte and Bohol, is on the back of the 200 Peso note.

If you want to see these adorable, but extremely sensitive creatures whilst in the Philippines, please visit The Philippine Tarsier Foundation, Corella, Bohol. They are the main non-profit organisation who help protect the Tarsier, are recommended by National Geographic, and by ecotourism organisations DENR (Department of Environment and Natural Resources) and DOT (Department of Tourism). 

Tarsiers become very anxious when subjected to any of the above. When stressed, they have been known to commit suicide by bashing their head against a tree trunk. We saw Tarsiers on a night walk in Sulawesi, Indonesia and yes they are very sensitive.
​
As animal lovers, here at Moalboal Eco Lodge we implore you to put the welfare of these sweet creatures before your photographic needs. If you do visit, please be silent, and absolutely do not use the flash on your camera.
