 Ethnic Groups of the Philippines 

Ethnic Groups of the Philippines (EGP) is an educational non-profit NGO that is devoted to promoting and teaching about the diversity of languages and cultures in the Philippines.

Mission
One of EGPs main objective is to expose readers to the cultural diversity of the Philippines, by introducing a collection of both existing and vanished peoples, ethnic groups, ethnolinguistic groups, languages, and immigrant groups found in the country. EGP has a section focusing exclusively on Chabacano and Hispano Filipino literature, in an attempt to illustrate and bring attention to cultures that often lie in the backdrop of Filipino society. It also provides a profile of facts, figures, intelligent trivia on Filipino culture and information on festivals held throughout the country to immerse the visitor in true Filipino culture and life. The numerous photographs, maps, essays and articles are an armchair tourist’s guide that brings to life the great diversity of peoples and cultures in the Philippines. Another objective is to help protect and preserve languages, and consequently, cultures, from becoming extinct. By educating people about the rich language diversity in the Philippines, EGP hope to limit language loss and to prevent further language extinction.

Partner
Ethnic Groups of the Philippines is funded by Friendly Borders NGO that operates in Latin America, Africa and Asia since 2004.
