Of course, Greco-Roman culture in the early Philippine Islands comes with Greco-Roman architecture and cuisine. But still, the early Filipinos kept their original cuisines. The Romans taught them how to make Roman Concrete, a material used to make sturdy and resilient structures like basilicas and palaces. But most importantly, they used Roman Concrete to make magnificent, yet humble cathedrals of the Far Eastern Church, some of them even named after Alexander and other saints. It's not to worship them, but rather, to remember them in memory only. Also, a replica of the Colosseum in Rome was built in modern-day Manila for the purpose of holding games and contests.
Lastly, Roman Concrete was used to make roads that connected the early cities in the early Philippine islands and other buildings in the early cities. From tenements to the houses of the wealthy, these Roman buildings proved to be resilient and sturdy against earthquakes.
