A Brief History of The Philippines
Map of the Philippines
The Philippines is an archipelago with over 7,000 islands. More than half of the municipalities are coastal, and 62% live in the coastal zone. Aside from the seafood quality, food, and beautiful coast, the people are very hospitable and speak their dialect and the national language, Tagalog.
Some Visayans speak fluent Spanish because the Spaniards colonized the country for over 300 years (1565-1898). Then, the US came to the country, The Crisis Phase (December 10, 1898 - October 31, 1899); the United States government formally acquired the Philippines from Spain by signing the Treaty of Paris on December 10, 1898. The US promised independence in the Jones Act, and the Philippines became a self-governing commonwealth in 1935. That is why English is the school's medium of instruction in the entire country today.
However, during World War II, the Japanese government occupied the country. Their presence influenced the idioms and dialects in some Western Visayas dialects, which sound like Japanese words.
The US military and Filipinos fought to regain control in 1944-45. The Philippines became independent in 1946 after the US retook the islands from the Japanese.
Since then, the country has been a democratic form of government. It is not perfect; there were dictators and progressive leaders, and it is trying to find its way to honor the legacy of the Philippine hero, Jose Rizal.
The Philippines is a significant player in the global community. It is known for sending medical professionals, educators, and tech professionals overseas, contributing to various industries worldwide. Additionally, it is the hub of call centers worldwide, providing customer service and support to numerous international businesses.
The magic of the Philippines is its resorts, the food, and the people who can communicate well, are ready to serve, and offer their smiles and beautiful hearts!
