THE SYNOPSIS OF THE PHILIPPINE HISTORY

By the beginning of the third century, the people of Pre- Spanish Time 1400-1380
Luzon Island had established contact and traded
with East Asian explorers and merchants,
particularly the Chinese. In the 1400s, the Japanese
established a trading post in Aparri, Northern
Luzon. In 1380, Muslim Arabs arrived in the Sulu
Archipelago and established communities that
evolved into mini-states led by a Datu. They would
be ruled by the Muslim sultans of Borneo and
would spread Islam throughout the archipelago's
southern reaches, including parts of Luzon. Islam
dominated the region for a few hundred years, and
until the 6th century, Malay Muslims were the
dominant power in these lands. During these times,
tradition, beliefs, and trading activities became the
most inspiring occurrences.

In 1521, Ferdinand Magellan, a Portuguese

adventurer who supported the Spanish, arrived at Philippine history during the Spanish
Island during his circumnavigation of the globe. colonial time
After exploring the islands, he named the
archipelago San Lazaro. During a revolt instigated
by a Datu named Lapu Lapu on Mactan Island,
Magellan was killed. Spain's legacies include the
conversion of the people to Catholicism and the
formation of a privileged landed aristocracy. A
Propaganda Movement was formed in response to
the injustices and tyranny of Spaniards, with the
goal of achieving equality between Filipinos and
Spaniards. Dr. Jose Rizal's arrest and execution in
1896 gave Filipino revolutionaries a fresh lease on
life in their fight against Spain. Even during this
period, the conversion of many Filipinos to
Catholicism is the most significant.
In the May 14, 1935 elections, Manuel L Quezon
was elected President of the Philippine Philippine history during the
Commonwealth. American Era

Under the Tydings-McDuffi0 Act of 1934, the

Philippines obtained independence on July 4, 1946,
and the Republic of the Philippines was created.
The Spanish-American war, which started in Cuba
and ended in the Philippines, changed the trajectory
of Philippine history drastically. The Americans, led
by US Navy Admiral George Dewey and Emilio
Aguinaldo, attacked the Spanish Navy in Manila
Bay on May 1, 1898. The bill also established the
position of President of the Commonwealth of the
Philippines. This period in Philippine history is the
most significant and inspiring. We reclaim our
independence immediately after a long period of

open city. Only hours after attacking Pearl Harbor in
Hawaii, the Japanese invaded the Philippines on
December 8, 1941.

Manuel Roxas of the Nacionalista Organization was The Philippine Republic

sworn in as the Philippines' first president on July 4,
1946. Roxas passed away in April of 1948. Elpidio
Quirino was chosen as his successor. Both Roxas and
Quirino were confronted by the Hukbalahap, a powerful
anti-Japanese guerrilla movement that turned violent and
contaminated the governing class. President Quirino's
Secretary of Defense, Ramon Magsaysay, finally
disbanded the organization.
 The Philippine history during the
In 1965, Ferdinand E. Marcos became the first martial law Regine
president of the Philippines to be re-elected for a
second term. He retained his popularity throughout
his first term by embarking on a massive public
works program. Marcos maintained an iron grip on
the country with the help of the military during the
martial rule years, imprisoning opposition leaders
and eliminating the legislature. Marcos was in
charge thanks to presidential decrees.

Post martial law up to the Present

time
Marcos and his wife Imelda's 21-year dictatorship
came to an end in 1986, when a popular rebellion
forced them to flee to Hawaii. President Aquino's
wife, Corazon Cory Aquino, was revealed to be the
exiled and deceased opposition leader Benigno
Aquino, who was widely believed to have won a
recent emergency election. Aquino restored civil
liberty and reinstated Congress. In addition, he
began the process of drafting a new constitution.
 Mount Mayon is significant for me since it represents the natural beauty of our
nature. Because of its virtually symmetrical conical shape a unique feature Mayon
Volcano, or Mount Mayon, is renowned across worldwide as the "perfect cone" volcano.
This is also the Philippines' most active volcano, being exploded over 50 times in the
last 400 years. The property is also a nature reserve and a preserved environment.
After some time, the volcano was recognized as the home of Gugurang, the Bicolano
people's supreme god, who also picked Mayon as the reservoir of Ibalon's holy fire. The
volcano and its surroundings are linked with several festivals and ceremonies.

Mt. Mayon is perhaps the greatest example of the adage that appearances may be
misleading. The volcano continues to generate headlines for reasons other than its
majesty. While Mayon is known for its splendor, it has also seen its fair share of fatal
eruptions in the past. The magnificent beauty of this archipelago has taken a huge
impact not just on the people of southern Luzon, we can also reflect that we can see the
uniqueness and beauty of this Mount Mayon through to its natural existence, how it
affects the country and its great contribution towards the Philippine archipelagos. Thus,
it catches my attention since it impacts Philippine history.
