Origin Of The Philippines
The history of Philippines dates back to some 50,000
years ago. It may be surprising but there is sufficient
archaeological evidence to back the claim, though we
may not conclude that it is the 'history' of 'the Philippines'
that dates back that far behind. However, there is little
dispute about the statement that Homosapiens did exist
in Palawan some 50,000 years back. Later,
Austronesian-speaking people settled in the Philippines
and established maritime trading with other parts of the
South East Asia. It was done as early as 5,000 B.C.
For a very long time, the archipelago remained
untouched by the outsiders, lying peacefully in its own
little part of the world. The west, however, did flow in
with Ferdinand Magellan being the first in 1521, followed
by Miguel López de Legazpi in 1565. They formed the
first Spanish settlements, which eventually turned the
Philippines into their colony. Then came Roman Catholic
missionaries, who converted most of the inhabitants to
Christianity. The following 300 years of Philippines'
history saw several turmoils with the Spanish military
fighting off various local revolts and several external
colonial challenges from as diverse quarters as the
British, the Chinese, the Dutch, the French, the
Japanese, and the Portuguese. The Spanish military
was largely successful in defending their occupation.
However, they could not avoid the occupation of the
capital by the British during the Seven Years' War.
Though that was a temporary occupation, it was still one
of the most serious damages done to the Spanish rule in
the archipelago.
The Philippines opened up for world trade on September
6, 1834. In the Spanish mainland a propaganda protest
began. The propagandists led by Rizal demanded,
amongst other things, a greater representation in Spain,
but the movement did not yield expected gains. So, Rizal
returned to the Philippines and pushed for the reforms
locally, which resulted in his arrest, trial, and execution
for sedition on December 30, 1896.
However, the spirit of revolution did not die down.
Another revolution sprang up. It was led by Andrés
Bonifacio and was continued by Emilio Aguinaldo, who
managed to establish a revolutionary government
though, the Spanish governor general Fernando Primo
de Rivera announced the death of the revolution on May
17, 1897.
The Spanish-American War broke out in 1898 and
gradually proceeded up to the Philippines when
Commodore George Dewey defeated the Spanish
squadron at the Manila Bay. Spain ceded the
Philippines, Puerto Rico, Guam and Cuba to the United
States. It was the Americans who brought democracy to
the Philippines. It was made a commonwealth country in
1935. The Philippines was to attain independence in the
next decade, but it did not come as World War II broke
out and Japan invaded. Independence, however, came
Philippines' way on July 4, 1946.
Ever since its independence, the Philippines has faced a
number of challenges but has managed to sail through,
unscathed so far.
In the ancient times, the Philippines is composed of
different kingdoms. The local are having their own
tradition, culture, beliefs, and rituals. They lived peacefully
until the time that the Philippines was discovered by
Magellan. Before the arrival of the Portuguese explorer
"Magellan" under the flagship of Spain, Kingdoms already
exists. one of the oldest Kingdom is the Kingdom of
Butuan in the Mindanao Island.
When the Spaniards invaded the Philippines, They control
over everything and exploits all the minerals and resources
of the country. Spain erased all the history of the country
but were recently found out that before the arrival of
Magellan, the country already exist after the Antique Gold
Royal Crown and Gold Royal belt of the king in Kingdom
of Butuan discovered by the local farmers of Butuan,
Philippines.
Before the Spaniard founding of the Philippines; the Islands
were called "LUZVIMINDA BORNEO" (Luzon, Visayas,
Mindanao and Borneo) a full name of a woman which is
derived from the 3 biggest island of the country; Luzon ,
Visayas, Mindanao and the North Borneo or (Sabah). The
Luzviminda Borneo is also know as "Pearl of the Orient" or
Perlas ng Silangan. The name Philippines is only given as
official name of the country by the Governador General to
honor his king of Spain Philip and they called Philippians
and then into Philippines.
During the 18th and 19th century, he first recorded history
of the Philippines as allowed by the Spain to be known by
the Philippine Nations starts with the arrival of Ferdinand
Magellan in 1521. The Spanish colonization officially
began in 1565 with the arrival of Miguel López de
Legazpi.
The Philippines declared independence from Spain in 1898
after a revolution that lasted 2 years. In the same year the
Spanish handed over the Philippines to the United States as
compensation for the Spanish American War (Treaty of
Paris).
Partial self-government under U.S. supervision started in
1935, but was stopped by the Japanese attack and
occupation of the Philippines in World War II. The
Philippines was given full independence in 1946.
The 1960s and early 1970s saw the beginning of student
activism and civil unrest, prompting President Ferdinand
Marcos to declare martial law in 1972. The 1986 EDSA
Revolution brought about the demise of Marcos and a
return to democracy for the Philippines
