جزایر کشور فیلیپین سکونتگاه گروه‌های قومی زبانی مختلفی هستند که عمدتاً از گویشوران زبانهای خانواده آسترونزیایی می‌باشند. بسیاری از این گروه‌ها به مسیحیت گرویده‌اند که به ویژه ساکنان مناطق ساحلی و کم ارتفاع فیلیپین از این جمله‌اند. عناصری از فرهنگهای غیر بومی در ساکنان این مناطق توسعه یافته است. گروه‌های قومی زبانی فیلیپین شامل این موارد می‌شود:
در غرب میندانائو و مجمع الجزایر سولو گروه‌های بومی پیرو اسلام ساکن هستند. اسپانیایی‌ها آنها را با توجه به نام قوم مور (علیرغم اختلافات فاحش فرهنگی به جز دین مشترک) مورو Moros نامیدند. در مناطق مرتفع میندانائول مردمان لوماد Lumad ساکن هستند که باورهای دینی خود را دارند.
مردم نگریتو گروه قومی پیش از آسترونیزیایی‌ها هستند که از سرزمین‌های اصلی آسیا و یکی از قدیمیترین انسانهای شناخته شده ساکن در فیلیپین با قدمت حدود ۹۰۰۰۰ سال هستند. جمعیت آنها در سال ۲۰۰۴ در حدود ۳۱٬۰۰۰ نفر بوده است.[1] [نیازمند منبع]
اکثر فیلیپینی‌ها را مردم مالایو-پلینزی تشکیل می‌دهند که یکی از شاخه‌های مهم از خانواده زبانی آسترونزیایی محسوب می‌شود. سایر گروه‌های قومی در فیلیپین در اقلیت قرار دارند. مردمانی از قوم چینی هان، هندی‌ها، اسپانیایی‌ها، اروپایی‌ها و دیگر گروه‌های قومی از کشورهای دیگر هم در فیلیپین ساکن هستند. است.
مطالعه ژنتیکی نشان داده است که مهاجرت چشمگیری از تایوان به فیلیپین صورت نگرفته است. تحقیقات دانشگاه لیدز نشان داد که DNA میتوکندریایی مردمان جنوب شرق آسیا از حدود ۵۰۰۰۰ سال پیش در حال تغییر بوده است.[2]

| Tagalog |  |
The Tagalogs, the settlers of Manila and its surrounding areas, are one of the most widespread groups of people in the Philippines.[8][11] The Tagalog language was chosen as an official language of the Philippines in the 1930s. Today, Filipino, a de facto version of Tagalog, is taught throughout the archipelago.[12] As of the 2000 census[بروزرسانی], there were about 21.5 million speakers of Tagalog in the Philippines, 23.8 million worldwide.[13] | |

| Bugkalot | The Bugkalot are a 2,500-person tribe that lives in the southern Sierra Madre and Caraballo Mountains, on the east side of Luzon Island in the Philippines, primarily in the provinces of Nueva Vizcaya and Nueva Ecija. | ||
| Igorot |  |
The Igorots/Cordillerans (Apayao, Itneg, Kalinga, Bontoc, Ifugao, Ibaloi, Kangkana-ey and Kalanguya) live in the highlands of Luzon. They are primarily located in the Cordillera Administrative Region.[17] | |

| Mangyan |  |
The Mangyan communities are found in Mindoro. | They are 13% in the population. |
| Molbog |  |
The Molbog (referred to in the literature as Molebugan or Molebuganon) are concentrated in Balabak island and are also found in other islands of the coast of Palawan as far north as Panakan. The word Malubog means "murky or turbid water". The Molbog are probably a migrant people from nearby North Borneo. Judging from their dialect and some socio-cultural practices, they seem to be related to the Orang Tidung or Tirum (Camucone in Spanish), an Islamized indigenous group native to the lower east coast of Sabah and upper East Kalimantan. |
However, some Sama words (of the Jama Mapun variant) and Tausug words are found in the Molbog dialect after a long period of exposure with those ethnics. This plus a few characteristics of their socio-cultural life style distinguish them from the Orang Tidung. Molbog livelihood includes subsistence farming, fishing and occasional barter trading with the Moros and neighbouring ethnic groups in Sabah. In the past, both the Molbog and the Palawanon Muslims were ruled by Sulu datus, thus forming the outer political periphery of the Sulu Sultanate. Intermarriage between Tausug and the Molbog hastened the Islamization of the Molbog. The offsprings of these intermarriages are known as kolibugan or "half-breed". |
| Negrito groups |  |
The Negrito are several ethnic groups of the Australoid race who inhabit isolated parts of Southeast Asia.[18] Their current populations include 12 Andamanese peoples of the Andaman Islands, six Semang peoples of Malaysia, the Mani of Thailand, and the Aeta/Agta and Ati, and 30 other peoples of the Philippines.

| Palawan Tribes | The tribes of Palawan are a diverse group of tribes primarily located in the island of Palawan and its outlying islands. These tribal groups are widely distributed to the long strip of mainland island literally traversing Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.
Palawan is home to many indigenous peoples whose origins date back thousands of centuries. Pre-historic discoveries reveal how abundant cultural life in Palawan survived before foreign occupiers and colonizers reached the Philippine archipelago. Today, Palawan is making its best to preserve and conserve the richness of its cultural groups. The provincial government strives to support the groups of indigenous peoples of Palawan. | ||

Palawanos who happen to reside in the crater of an extinct volcano during certain seasons of the year, in houses built on raised floors inside caves though others have set their homes on the open slopes. They are found in the Singnapan Basin, a valley bounded by Mount Mantalingajan on the east and the coast on the west. North of them is the municipality of Quezon, Palawan and to the South are the still unexplored regions of Palawan. |
