What is the philippines to me?

(Activity #4)

The history of the Philippines is believed to have begun with the arrival of the first humans using rafts
or boats at least 67,000 years ago as the 2007 discovery of Callao Man suggested.[1] Negrito tribes first
inhabited the isles. Groups of Austronesians later migrated to the islands.

Eventually various groups developed, separated into hunter-gatherer tribes, warrior societies,
petty plutocracies and maritime-oriented harbor principalities which eventually grew
into kingdoms, rajahnates, kedatuans, wangdoms and sultanates. These small nations were either greatly
influenced by the Indian Hindu religion, language, culture, literature and philosophy from India through
many campaigns from India including South-East Asia campaign of Rajendra Chola I,[2] Islam
from Arabia or were Sinified tributary states allied to China. The nations included
the Indianized Rajahnates of Butuan and Cebu, the dynasty of Tondo, the kingdoms
ofNamayan and Maynila, the Kedatuans of Madja-as and Dapitan, the nation of Ma-i,
the sinified Wangdom of Pangasinan, as well as the sultanates of Sulu, Lanao and Maguindanao. These
small maritime states flourished from the 1st millennium.[3][4] These kingdoms traded with what are now
called China, India, Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, and Indonesia.[5] The remainder of the settlements were
independent barangays allied with one of the larger states.
The first recorded visit by Europeans is the arrival of Ferdinand Magellan. He sighted Samar Island on
March 16, 1521 and landed the next day on Homonhon Island, now part of Guiuan, Eastern
Samar.[6] Spanish colonization began with the arrival of Miguel Lpez de Legazpi's expedition on February
13, 1565 from Mexico. He established the first permanent settlement in Cebu.[7] Much of the archipelago
came under Spanish rule, creating the first unified political structure known as the Philippines. Spanish
colonial rule saw the introduction of Christianity, the code of law and the oldest modern university in Asia.
The Philippines was ruled under the Mexico-based Viceroyalty of New Spain until Mexican independence.
After which, the colony was directly governed by Spain.

Spanish rule ended in 1898 with Spain's defeat in the SpanishAmerican War. The Philippines then
became a territory of the United States.

American rule was not uncontested. The Philippine Revolution had begun in August 1896 against Spain,
and after the defeat of Spain in the Battle of Manila Bay began again in earnest, culminating in
the Philippine Declaration of Independence and the establishment of the First Philippine Republic.
The PhilippineAmerican War ensued, with extensive damage and death, and ultimately resulting in the
defeat of the Philippine Republic.[8][9][10][11]

The United States established the Insular Government to rule the Philippines.[12] In 1907, the
elected Philippine Assembly was convened as the lower house of a bicameral legislature and in 1916 the
U.S. Federal Government formally promised independence in the Jones Act.[12] The Philippine
Commonwealth was established in 1935, as a 10-year interim step prior to full independence.[13]Before
independence, World War II began and Japan occupied the Philippines.[14] After the end of the war,
the Treaty of Manilaestablished an independent Philippine Republic.[15]

In 1972, Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos imposed martial law. Following the assassination
of Ninoy Aquino, Marcos heldsnap elections in 1986 and subsequently fled the country during the People
Power Revolution which installed Cory Aquino as president and reestablished democracy.

In the 21st century, the Philippines is the 12th most populous country of the world, part of ASEAN, a key
ally of the United States, with an economy dominated by fishing and agriculture with a growing business
process outsourcing (BPO) industry and nearly 10% of the population abroad as overseas Filipino
workers.
