Abstract
"Religion is an important part of any culture, and in Philippine culture, religion encompasses the whole society. Thus, the Pentecostal phenomenon in the Philippines cannot properly be understood without considering its socio-religious context. It must be noted that the introduction of Christianity in the Philippines made a strong impact on not only the religious, but also the social, economic and political aspects of native Filipino culture. Ma. Elena Chiong-Javier (1991:19) wrote, “The Spanish missionaries who first came to Christianize the Filipinos also assumed other roles outside of their church roles. They played active parts as linguists, ethnologists, educators, estate administrators and public officials.” Thus, the interrelationships between culture and religion in the Philippine society have had great impact in almost every facet of community life."
