Filipino music and art have both been influenced by the cultures that have migrated to this nation.

The southern style of music usually involves five different instruments including the kulintang, the agung, the gangdinagan, the dabakan and the babedil.

For many thousands of years, dolls have been made to look like small people, and children have been attracted to them. When children play with dolls, the dolls become very real to them. Sometimes they represent the child, and sometimes they become storybook characters. Dolls as playthings give children an opportunity to be in charge, to make decisions, to give and receive love, and to practice what they have learned from observing adults. But dolls have not always been playthings.
