The History Of The Philippines

Hello Readers,

Welcome back to my blog! Today I decided to read about Philipine History. We are Filipinos so I think it's good to know and learn about our country.

By the way, I was born in the Philippines but I spent more than  five years in Singapore and now living here in New Zealand. Basically, I just lived at the Philippines for about a year and half.

I've learned that Philippines were claimed in the name of Spain in 1521 by Ferdinand Magellan.His a Potuguese explorer sailing for Spain.It's more than 300 years that Philippines was under them. Now, I know why some of the cultures and language of Filipinos are same with Spanish.

I also read about one famous Filipino ,who wrote and potrayed  about the abuses of  the spanish rules.He is Jose Rizal.No wonder he is the National Hero of the Philippines. He was executed in Luneta Park. I always heard my parents talking about that park in the Philippines. Hopefully, I can experience that park when we visit the country.

During spanish time, they also designed the first Philippine flag.

The three star stand for big islands of the Philippines.The color of the flag is white, blue and red. White stands for hope, blue for peace and red for patriotism.

Here is the picture of Philippine flag.

Thank you for reading this blog post and have a great day!
