CULTURE AND TRADITION
Submarines were used during the American period. It is used in trading, war, and transportation to other
countries through the water.

During this time, English began to be taught in the schools, and this is the language that the teachers would
use.

Even today, most Filipinos can’t help but mix in English words when they speak. “Taglish” has literally
become part of the culture.

The railway trains goes to and from different points in the Philippines to carry people, their goods, trade and
livelihood.
TRANSPORTATION
It was introduced by the Americans. The first use of aircrafts in the Philippines were during wars especially
against the Japanese.

Filipino people began to adopt the American fashion statement using hats, long sleeved clothes and long
sleeved polo inside it with matching neck ties for men. Clothing that America introduced to the Filipino
culture were belts, bonnets, hats, suspenders, high heels, polo shirts, tennis shoes, short skirts, dresses,
pantyhose and make-up.

COMMUNICATION
The influence of the American culture brought about good and bad aspects to the Philippines. Many roads
and bridges were constructed. New technologies were introduced to the country. These technologies helped
the Philippines' industries and agriculture. But all these developments were made for the convenience of the
Americans in the Philippines most especially the businessmen. Philippine people might have enjoyed some
benefits but they were not the real reasons why such developments were made. The Americans imposed
these rules to achieve their main objective, which is to colonize and use the country and its people.
Education was the most useful means or ways in pursuing a peaceful relationship with the Filipinos.
Through education, the Americans influenced the Filipinos in terms of the way they eat, to love the
American culture and most of all, to prioritize American products.

If the Spaniards used religion as an excuse to capture Filipino's hearts and minds, the Americans poisoned
our way of thinking through education. Because of these, the Filipino have neglected and set aside their
own culture and their own identity.

DANCES
The economic development of the Philippines under the Americans can be attributed to free trade relations
that the Americans imposed upon the country. Philippine products were also allowed to enter American
markets free of duty within quota limits.

AIRCRAFT
When the United States took over the Philippines, the people began to be free to join whatever religion they
wanted. (During the Spanish rule, the Catholic church was established as the national religion and was
strongly enforced). Because of this new found religious freedom, there began to be many different churches
besides Catholicism.

American influences added yet another dimension to the Filipino food culture – speed and convenience. Not
only did Filipinos speak English, they became consumers of American products - prepackaged foods,
canned goods and fast foods.
AMERICAN ERA IN THE PHILIPPINES
In 1898, the United States declared war on Spain, ultimately resulting in what is called the Treaty of Paris,
in which the Spanish agreed to give up the islands of the Philippines in exchange for $20,000,000. During
first years, there were some conflicts between the U.S. and The Philippines. But during World War I, they
came together and the Filipinos fought alongside the Americans. After WWI ended, the U.S. continued to
rule over the Philippines, and gradually their relationship became much more friendly.

Americans introduced the idea of free education to the Philippine islands. The United States even sent
teachers to help establish schools where the Filipino children could have a free education. A large group of
these teachers were called “Thomasites,” named after the boat that they came on, called SS Thomas.

Spreading of democracy and formation of good citizens, including the rights and responsibilities of the
people, were the focus of American education in the country.
LANGUAGE
Landscapes and scenes in the environment became the subjects of

paintings. Also, the Americans introduced oil painting.
