|blurb=The Philippines has submitted films for the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film since the inception of the category in 1956. The Film Academy of the Philippines appoints a committee to choose one film among those released that year to be submitted as the Philippines's official entry to the Academy for a nomination for "Best International Feature Film" the following year. From 1956 until the establishment of the Film Academy in 1981, only four films were submitted for consideration: Child of Sorrow (1956), The Moises Padilla Story (1961), Because of a Flower (1967), and Ganito Kami Noon... Paano Kayo Ngayon? (1976). Afterwards, the Philippines submitted Of the Flesh in 1984 and This Is My Country in 1985, but made no further submissions until 1995's Harvest Home. Since then, a Filipino film has been submitted in most years.
