Discovering the Philippines: A Journey Through History and Culture

Explore the Philippines, an archipelago of 7000 islands, rich in history and diversity. With a population of 86 million, the country boasts a density of 270 per sq.km. Christianity dominates at 73%, including Protestant and Evangelical denominations. Learn about cults, Muslim, and animist beliefs. Tracing back to 1521 when Magellan ‘discovered’ the islands, the Philippines saw Spanish colonization in 1542 and then ceded to America in 1898. Independence came in 1946, followed by decades of turmoil under Marcos’s corrupt rule from 1965 to 1986. The country has since been grappling with economic and social challenges. Uncover the vibrant past and present of the Philippines in this engaging exploration of its people, geography, and culture.
