Despite its status as a multicultural society, the intricacies of this diversity are
frequently veiled behind more visible features of national identity. While cultural festivals
and historical landmarks highlight the country's rich legacy, the general public's level of

Findings
Our research uncovered that many Filipinos are not fully aware of the diverse cultures
present in their country. This lack of awareness is a significant challenge that needs
addressing. Most respondents didn't have a deep understanding of the history, religion,
language, and arts that make each culture unique. This often led to simplistic or incorrect
