Is There A Filipino Identity? A glimpse of our historical past will surely reveal who the Filipinos really are‚ the Filipino identity as it is called. Yet‚ due to external factors like technological advancements and colonial influences‚ the true essence of being a Filipino now reaches the point where it is slowly degrading.
