I have posted an article about learning the languages of the Philippines. It may be of use to expats or tourist living in or planning to visit the Philippines.
It includes information on how these languages developed by ancient tribes of the Philippines and how these tribes still make up the most basic level of government. There will be follow up post about learning the language of the Philippines.
I think it is impossible to fully understand the culture of the Philippines unless I learn the language. There are so many languages and some do not have a lot of resources available for learning.

I'm an American expat having the time of my life living in the Philippines.
I'm becoming a bit of a jack of all trades. I grew up in Jackson, Ms where I graduated with a bachelors degree and a major in Accounting. Though there is no official designation of such, I have a strong educational background in finance as well.
I worked as a revenue agent and computer analyst for the IRS for almost 20 years. I'm retired from that and my pension makes it possible to travel as my income goes with me. I am also a webmaster and it seems, I'm becoming a writer, kicking and screaming all the way. When it comes to proper English, I'm not so good. When it comes to putting emotion and ideas on paper, I've been told for years that I am exceptional at it.
I also love photography and playing with computers which fits in well with my new lifestyle. Like I said, I'm having the time of my life in the Philippines. I look forward to exploring all of the country as well as some nearby countries.
