The Culture of Basilan are derived from the Yakan, Tausug and the Chavacano tribes in the southern Philippines. Both Yakans and Tausugs are predominantly Muslim, joined by their kin from the Sama, Bajao, Maranao, and other Muslim tribes of Mindanao, while Chavacanos are primarily Christian, joined by the predominantly Christian tribes of the Bisaya, Ilocano, Tagalog and others. These three main groups, however, represent Basilan's tri-people community.

Famous quotes containing the word culture:
“If you’re anxious for to shine in the high esthetic line as a man
of culture rare,
You must get up all the germs of the transcendental terms, and plant
them everywhere.
You must lie upon the daisies and discourse in novel phrases of your
complicated state of mind,
The meaning doesn’t matter if it’s only idle chatter of a
transcendental kind.”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
