Culture Of The Philippines Summary

“...We govern our children without their consent...Would not the people of the Philippines prefer the just, human, civilizing government of this Republic…” (Doc B, Albert J. Beveridge). I disagree with this black and white view of the world. The Filipinos are grown people capable of making the best decision for themselves. Children are not (due to their undeveloped frontal lobes). They do not need America to save them. They wanted freedom enough to attempt war with Spain, a global power, so they have earned that

All in all Ferdinand Magellan was not worth defending on the Philippine Bay on the day of April, 27, 1521. The way he treated his crew and his concern for them also his navigational skills prove that Magellan was not worth defending and risking your life

1520- In 1520 while sailing Magellan had entered the Strait of Magellan which was named after him.

The United States, in order to keep growing as a world power, did not have to govern other territories to be prosperous. The U.S. stressed that the Filipinos were incapable of self-government and that the United States had an obligation to civilize them. The United States could've found other means to increase its greatness and power. Means that are morally right and

What land was claimed for Spain as the result of Ferdinand Magellan's circumnavigation of the globe beginning in 1519?

He died in the Philippine islands in a hand to hand combat with native Americans. When people ask was Magellan worth defending it means that did Magellan deserve to get saved. I believe that Magellan should have been saved and was worth defending, because he was firm not cruel, he was a really good navigator, and he died for his beliefs. Magellan was firm not cruel. According to the map from various sources about the voyage of Magellan, the ships spent about 8 months to go from Puerto San Julian to the Strait of Magellan (March 31st to November 21st), this was because during March it was cold and weather conditions.

Americans, again, too often don't succeed to pay attention of all of the globe's difference. The Philippines is very improper. My spouse is Japanese people. Strolling there we have had unknown people stop us and tell her she is a shame. At a jazz music show couple of decades, back stones were tossed at us. That is their lifestyle. I do not carry this

The Philippines have various cultures because it was colonized by different countries which influenced most of the cultures. From what I experienced people in the Philippines are always open. They always have a warm welcome whenever they meet new people, they are always open to making new friends from what I have experienced. I think there is racism in the Philippines but I have never seen it or I have not experienced it. The people I associated with are not racist, they were very open, whenever there is someone that is not the same race. When it comes to families, our families treat each other like relatives and we trust each other. I grew up with Filipino and a little bit of Portuguese culture since my dad was Portuguese. I say that because there are some things we do differently and how my dad acts or protects us. We had the opportunity to socialize with people in our neighborhoods, we would always play outside like tagu taguan, agawan base, patintero and more. Tagu Taguan is a Filipino version of hide and seek, agawan base is basically there are two teams who has their own bases and

Ferdinand was in his mid-20s when he went on his first two voyages for Portugal. On his second, he acquired a Malaysian servant boy, Enrique. Once his voyages were done Magellan and Enrique moved to Spain in hopes of offering his talents to the Spanish. Magellan made a proposition to King Charles Ⅰ of Spain, he would find a westward sea route to the Spice Islands to avoid going through the eastern sea territories of Portugal. Charles Ⅰ gave Magellan his blessing and sent him off. He started with a total of 5 ships and 270 men, he first sailed to Brazil then down the coastline of South America to Patagonia. In Patagonia, an attempt at mutiny ended up destroying one of their ships. The continued on none the less with four ships. They then reached what is now called the Strait of Magellan, which is a passageway through the tip of South America. During this time, one of the ship masters left and traveled back to Spain. With only three ships left Magellan and his crew sailed on. In March of 1521, they dropped the anchor in Guam. Later in 1521, they reached the island of Homonhom, off the coast of the Philippines. Magellan at this point only had 150 of the original 270 men left. Magellan traded with the island king, Rajah Humabon. They had formed a bond. Soon after the Spanish became involved in a war between the people of Homonhon and a nearby island. In April of 1521 Magellan was killed in

Our country is rich in culture; the occupation of the Spanish, the American, and the Japanese gave the Philippines its diverse and unique culture. This exceptional culture we have in our country has produced numerous brilliant individuals, who up to this day are still well recognized. So it is safe to say that part of the reason why they became who they were is because of their culture; because of our culture. (Ong, 2011)

1523 Vasco Nunez de balboa crossed the Isthmus of Panama and claimed the Pacific Ocean and its coastal lands for spain.

After the reunification of Spain with Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand, they financed the expedition for the Genoese explorer, Christopher Columbus, for trading routes to the Asian markets. Instead Columbus found new land in which he called the island Hispaniola. The discovery gave Spain to expand their empire even furthermore. Spain was capable to explore and conquer lands is because of the Reconquista of their

Another is that Filipinos have a culture of apathy and tend to use religion incorrectly and passively. People depend on religion and settle for what’s okay. In addition, the initial reaction of Filipinos to change is resistance, and this is why the country does not necessarily progress, or at least, progress at a continuous rate. Then, countries like Spain and Portugal only rode the “economic tiger” after “they realized that the only way to survive was change” (3.Y). Plus, according to another critic, the Philippines already had the experience of being under the parliamentary system during the time of Marcos which only resulted in a People Power Revolution. So why should the country bother going back to that? (4.Y)

The foundation of the Philippine culture is a mixture of a variety of other cultures that has a long standing history within the

“Rizal had a burning desire to know exactly the conditions of the Philippines when the Spaniards came ashore to the islands. His theory was the country was economically self-sufficient and prosperous.  Rizal entertained the idea that it had a lively and vigorous community enriched with the collective and sensitive art and culture of the native population. He
