Journey Through the Phillipines I have always been interested in my heritage, thus I do my best to indulge myself in the culture of the Philippines. As a result, my pilgrimage will take place in the Philippines, but not just to go and see the sights and enjoy the food, but to find a rainbow Eucalyptus tree, “The tree is the only Eucalyptus species found naturally in the northern hemisphere. And yes, it's also native in the Philippines, but it’s not found solely in that part of the country, but in

DBQ: Was Magellan Worth Defending? 1519: a Spanish armada of five ships set sail that would soon be the first to circumnavigate the globe. Their captain, a Portuguese noble, was an accomplished student of cartography and astronomy. Europe’s cravings for spices sent Columbus to Asia, and into the barrier that was the Americas. Magellan’s expedition sought to find a way through, on a mission to bring a new trade route and immense wealth to Spain. Through the crew’s starvation, two mutinies against

I have always been interested in my heritage, thus I do my best to indulge myself in the culture of the Philippines here in The United States to the best of my ability. As a result, my pilgrimage will take place in the Philippines, but not just to go and see the sights and enjoy the food, but to find a rainbow Eucalyptus tree, “The tree is the only Eucalyptus species found naturally in the northern hemisphere.

Did you know there are many different explorers? If there was no explorers we probably wouldn't be living here today. One famous explorer is named Ferdinand Magellan (Ma-jel-lan). Magellan was born in 1480 and was Killed in 1521 by a native named Lapu-Lapu. Magellan set out on a trip to circumnavigate the world by ship in 1519 that ended in 1522. Magellan stopped at many nations during his voyage including Portugal, and the Spice Islands but also traveled through the Strait of Magellan ( giving it

Introduction “The more you know about the past, the better prepared you are for the future.” This is a quote by Theodore Roosevelt that speaks about a certain truth about History, the past. People tend to think that history is of no importance, but what they don’t know is that the past plays a certain role in shaping the present and the future. When I was assigned to write a paper about the Philippine’s history during the Spanish colonization, I was determined to find a topic that greatly influenced

The Philippines is a vibrant nation full of life and color but what makes the Philippines stand out above the rest is the culture that defines it. In Kim Zimmerman’s article “What is Culture,” she defines culture as “characteristics and knowledge of a particular group of people, encompassing language, religion, cuisine, social habits, music, and arts.” (Zimmerman, 2017) Although the Philippines has a large variety of cultural norms and values, the most prominent aspects of their culture are the

Magellan was given credit for being the first to travelling around the world. He had begun his voyage on September 20th, 1519. Magellan was fascinated and determined by the idea of finding the Spice Island. Magellan had done many minor explorations before. The exploration of Columbus gave him the idea of a successful expedition to The Caribbean. Magellan had asked the Portuguese king to support his expedition but the king had denied his offer. So he went to Spanish Royalty to ask for help which

some things to expect. Overall, I thought they had many cultural, communication and business differences. First I will speak of the culture. I believe it is important to mention a couple important events in the Philippine history. In 1521 chief Lapu-Lapu declined the invitation to the Spanish norm and Christianity from Ferdinand Magellan. The Spanish and Filipino men then fought and Magellan was found dead. Also, in 1946 the United States freed the Philippines from the Japanese during World War II

during his voyages. He killed many crew members and innocents, who he tried to force to convert. According to Document E, “Magellan threatened those who did not convert and even burned a village on Mactan, which was ruled by a tribal chief named Lapu Lapu.” It is not justifiable to kill innocents and burn villages. If he had not tried to force the conversion of other tribes, he might have made it back to Spain alive. It was not his mission to do so, and his arrogance and cruelty towards his crew led
