South-East Asia /Philippines PHILIPPINES History and Government History: The earliest inhabitants of The Philippines were the Negritos. Other tribes later arrived from Malaysia and Indonesia. In 1521, the Portuguese navigator, Ferdinand Magellan, financed by the King of Spain, landed on the islands and named them after Philip II of Spain. Friars converted the inhabitants to Christianity and today The Philippines is the only predominantly Christian country in South-East Asia. Spanish explorer Miguel Lopez de Legaspi established the first Spanish settlement in Cebu in 1565; he moved north and defeated the Muslim Rajah Sulayman and established a Spanish base in Manila in 1571, extending the area under Spanish control. In 1896, a revolution against Spanish rule led to the establishment of the first Filipino Republic in 1898, under General Emilio Aguinaldo. Later, the United States took control of the islands and a constitution was drawn up in 1935, giving The Philippines internal self-government. The islands were occupied by the Japanese between 1942 and 1945, during World War II, only achieving independence in 1946. During the next two decades, there was a succession of presidents who maintained strong links with the United States. In 1965, Ferdinand Marcos of the Nacionalista party won the presidential elections and began a programme of rapid economic development. Before his maximum of two terms in office were over, in 1972, Marcos instituted martial law and suppressed all political opposition. He also set about large-scale looting of the country’s exchequer to fill his and his family’s own foreign bank accounts. Opposition to Marcos evolved in two distinct forms: the ‘constitutional’ opposition, organised around dissenting senators such as Benigno Aquino; and the Communist Party, which, linking with various tribal groups, launched an armed insurgency based in the southern islands, particularly Mindanao.

The History Guy Philippine-American War Home Military History Historical Personalities Email ... About Us This was America's first true colonial war as a world power. After defeating Spain in Cuba and in the Philippines in 1898, the U.S. purchased the Philippines, Puerto Rico and several other islands from the Spanish. However, the Filipinos had been fighting a bloody revolution against Spain since 1896, and had no intention of becoming a colony of another imperialist power. In February of 1899, fighting broke out between the occupying American Army and the Filipino forces. "I am not afraid, and am always ready to do my duty, but I would like some one to tell me what we are fighting for." Arthur H. Vickers, Sergeant in the First Nebraska Regiment "Talk about war being 'hell,' this war beats the hottest estimate ever made of that locality. Caloocan was supposed to contain seventeen thousand inhabitants. The Twentieth Kansas swept through it, and now Caloocan contains not one living native. Of the buildings, the battered walls of the great church and dismal prison alone remain. The village of Maypaja, where our first fight occurred on the night of the fourth, had five thousand people on that day, now not one stone remains upon top of another. You can only faintly imagine this terrible scene of desolation. War is worse than hell." Captain Elliott, of the Kansas Regiment, February 27th

66. Philippines - History in 1992 congruent interests and a long history of friendly relations made it seemlikely that the United States would remain the philippines closest ally http://countrystudies.us/philippines/2.htm

History Philippines Table of Contents IN EARLY SPRING 1992, as President Corazon C. Aquino approached the end of her term, there was no doubt that her administration had restored a functioning democratic system to the Philippines. Aquino herself had decided not to seek another term as president even though the one-term presidency limitation imposed by the constitution did not apply to her. There was, however, no dearth of aspirants for the position. Eight candidates, including former First Lady Imelda Marcos, who had returned to the Philippines in the fall of 1991 to face embezzlement charges, were considered serious contenders. In the early 1990s, the Philippines was rather densely populated (220 persons per square kilometer), and the annual population growth rate was 2.5 percent. Approximately 57 percent of the population was under twenty years of age. Education was very highly regarded, as it had been throughout most of the twentieth century. The literacy rate of the total population approached 90 percent, and compulsory, free education reached nearly all elementary school-age children, even in the remotest areas. Health care was adequate in urban areas, less so in the countryside. Many of the most intractable problems in the Philippines can be traced to the country's colonial past. One major source of tension and instability stems from the great disparity in wealth and power between the affluent upper social stratum and the mass of low-income, often impoverished, Filipinos. In 1988 the wealthiest 10 percent of the population received nearly 36 percent of the income, whereas the poorest 30 percent of the population received less than 15 percent of the income.

68. Aurora, Philippines - History The early history of Aurora Province, philippines dates back during the Spanishcolonial period and is linked to Quezon and Nueva Ecija Provinces. http://www.aurora.ph/history.html

HISTORY The Province of Aurora was founded by President Ferdinand E. Marcos in August 1979, with Baler as its capital, by virtue of Batas Bambansa Blg. 7. This act was the fulfillment of the prayers of the people of the the former Municipalities of Baler and Casiguran to be truly independent from the Province of Quezon for the first time since the Spanish occupation. Early History In 1572, the Spanish explorer Juan de Salcedo became the first European to visit the region that would be known as Aurora while he was exploring the northern coast of Luzon. Salcedo reportedly visited the towns of Casiguran, Baler and Infanta. In the early days of the Spanish colonial period, Aurora was ecclesiastically linked to Infanta, which today rests further south in the Province of Quezon. The earliest missionaries there were the Franciscans, who had established missions in Baler and Casiguran in 1609. Due to lack of available personnel, the region was given to the jurisdiction of the Agustinians and Recollects in 1658, but was returned to the Friars Minor in 1703. Other early missions included Dipaculao, established in 1719, and Casiguran, in 1753. The early history of Aurora is linked to Quezon Province, of which it originally formed a part, and Nueva Ecija. In 1591, Quezon (then named Kalilaya) was organized into a district that included a good portion of what now constitutes the Provinces of Laguna and Nueva Ecija.

The land, its name and occupancy, its location and wealth, the people , their idiosyncracies and attributes, their tradition and culture, their faith and beliefs, their occupation and pursuits, their tribulations and ordeals, nay, their settlements and systems of government, are history's subject matter and reasons for being.

THE LAND Barrio Macatabang was a place along the bank of the Cagayan River called so inhabited by Ybanag, Ilocano immigrant Filipino Chinese, and Malaweg. Macatabang was a part of Gattaran, but as the population increased, the people of the western part of Gattaran made a resolution that it be made a separate town. Congressman Paulino Alonso of the 2nd District of Cagayan introduced a bill in congress creating the municipality of Santo Tomas. Representative Cabarroguis of Nueva Vizcaya vigorously objected the suggested name on the first reading of the bill. Finally, Lasam was agreed upon in honor of the late Governor Honorio Lasam, the sixth governor of Cagayan (1915-1918) On June 13, 1950, the late President Elpidio C. Quirino signed R.A. 507 which made possible the creation of the municipality of Lasam.

The Philippines - When Magellanes landed 1521 on the island of Homahon, he took possession on behalf of King Philipps II and named it Felipinas - the Philippines. At this time he knew a little about the wealth of these still unexplored fantastic islands. He also had no idea of the spectacular sunsets and the moderate climate which brought such a warm hearted and friendly people, who should be known later all over the world because of its friendly hospitality. When the Spanish conquistadors arrived, they found well developed settlements. Prior to this Spanish colonization in 1521, the Filipinos had a rich culture and were trading with the Chinese and the Japanese. The Spaniards recognized the potential of these strategically well positioned islands and they established 1571 in Manila a colonial government, from where they controlled the country and the trade. Spain's colonization brought the construction of Intamuros in 1571, a "Walled City" comprised of European buildings and churches, replicated in different parts of the archipelago. In 1898, after 350 years and 300 rebellions, the Filipinos, with leaders like Jose Rizal and Emilio Aguinaldo, succeeded in winning their independence. Country and People - The Philippines can be found in South-East-Asia, to the north of the equator and 160 kilometers to the south of Taiwan. The Philippines is made up of 7,107 islands covering a land area of 299,404 square kilometers. Approximately 2.000 islands are inhabited. The Philippines are divided geographically and culturally into regions, and each regional group is recognizable by distinct traits and dialects - the sturdy and frugal llocanos of the north, the industrious Tagalogs of the central plains, the carefree Visayans from the central islands, and the colourful tribesmen and religious Moslems of Mindanao. More than 2.500 islands are not registered.

Two artillery batteries from Utah were sent to the Philippines, and Willard Call and George Seaman were set apart as missionaries, making them the first Mormon elders to preach the gospel among the people of the Philippine islands. There was no missionary activity in the Philippines until the end of World War II, when Maxine Grimm, wife of a U.S. Army colonel, serving in the American Red Cross in the Philippines, introduced the gospel to Aniceta Pabilona Fajardo, the first Filipino to join the Church in the islands. Sister Fajardo was baptized in 1945. Dean Franklin Clair, a U.S. Army medic, was another LDS pioneer in the Philippines when he married Filipina Leona H. Seno. The Church experienced a growth spurt in the area in 1953 during the Korean War when the Luzon Servicemen's District was organized.

Mindanao (south) FOR THE TRAVELLER, the Philippines is favourable located, with relatively short distances to Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong ( ). Despite this, it has never drawn such enormous masses of tourists as for example Thailand, and the greater part of the country is still virginal and unexploited. This is naturally reflected in the warmth and friendliness of the local people, and you may practically find your own paradise island where no tourist ever has even left a footprint in the sand. If you're looking for a country to explore, you really should try the Philippines. GEOGRAPHICALLY, the country is divided in to three main regions; Luzon in the north, the Visayas in the centre, and Mindanao in the south. The captiol Manila is located in the north on the island of Luzon. The poulation is THE POLITICAL SITUATION in the Philippines was a bit worried after the election of the new president Gloria Arroyo Macapagal in January 2001, who replaced the former president Joseph Estrada. There have also been trouble with rebel groups on the islands close to Malaysia (the Mindanao-area). It is important to know that the demonstrations and reported on the news took place in Manila, and that the troubled region in the south is located an hours flight away from Malapascua. The countryside in the Visayas is as peaceful as ever. The Philippines is still a safe place for tourists, if you avoid the troubled regions in the south, near Malaysia. The situation is similar to the one in India, where the state of Kashmir is the subject of battles between the state and rebels. And still, India is considered to be a safe place to travel, as long as one avoids Kashmir; both India and the Philippines are very large countries.

History of Butuan City Brief History of Butuan City Antique Potteries and the Balanghais The stability of an agricultural industry and a trading post resulted in the early Butuanons permanently settling in the area. The importance of Butuan during the time is manifested in it being mentioned in numerous historical maps. Just 5 kilometers from the City proper lies the graveyard of the Balangay 1 dated 320 A.D. or 1678 years old. This wooden plank-build and edge-pegged boats average 15 meters in length and 3 meters wide across the beam. To date, 9 Balangays have already been discovered in Ambangan, Libertad sites. Three have been excavated and others are still in Situ. In no other locality in the Philippines or Southeast Asia for the matter, has there been such a rare and extensive discovery of the maritime vessel and cultural relics associated with an affluent seafaring people in this part of the globe except in Butuan. Trade with other communities (from as far as China) is further evidenced by ancient potteries and porcelain wares found in various digs around the area.

Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Contributors ... World Civilizations The Reader's Companion to American History PHILIPPINES Once a Spanish colony, the Philippine Islands came into American hands as a result of the Spanish-American War of 1898. Assistant Secretary of the Navy Theodore Roosevelt ordered Comdre. George Dewey in Hong Kong to move against Manila Bay if war began. Dewey took Manila with an impressive naval victory and the aid of rebels led by Emilio Aguinaldo. In the Treaty of Paris of 1899, the United States annexed the Philippines. But the United States faced serious problems in the islands. Anti-imperialists opposed to taking over a foreign people without their consent and holding them in a colonial condition objected bitterly; nevertheless, the Senate ratified the treaty. In addition, Aguinaldo rebelled against American control, waging a guerrilla war until his capture in 1901. Peace was restored at war's end in 1902 with the help of a commission headed by an Ohio judge, William Howard Taft. Thereafter, the United States poured aid into the archipelago for decades. During World War II, the Philippines were conquered by Japan, but they were liberated in February 1945. The next year the United States granted the Philippines their independence, though still maintaining bases and political influence there.

The Past: Interactions with Spain and the United States In 1521, the first Europeans under Ferdinand Magellan explored the Philippines. Then, in 1542, a Spanish exploration party named the group of islands, the Philippines, in honor of Prince Philip, later Philip II of Spain. Spain retained possession of the island until 1899 when the United States received the Philippines through the Treaty of Paris under the Spanish American War. Meanwhile, the Filipinos desired independence because they were tired of being ruled by foreigners and as a result initiated guerrilla warfare against the US under Emilio Aguinaldo. For the United States, the subjugation of the people of the Philippines became a massive project that consumed more money and lives than the Spanish American War. In 1901, General Frederick Funston ended the insurrection through the capture of Emilio Aguinaldo. However, the question of independence burned on in the hearts of the people and Emilio Aguinaldo became a national hero. (image from www .encarta .com In 1913, when the Democrats came into power in the White House, they desired a smooth transition to self-rule for the Philippines. The Tydings-McDuffie Act of 1934 provided that the Philippines would be completely independent by 1946. In the period between 1934 and 1946, the Commonwealth of the Philippines formed under US supervision with Manuel Quezon y Molina as president. The people of the Philippines approved the selection of the president and the newly written constitution.
