GROUP 1
HOW DID THESE ISLANDS COME TO BE
CALLED ‘THE PHILIPPINES’?
It happened gradually and it began with the arrival of Ferdinand
Magellan, a Portuguese explorer, in 1521. He was killed while
attempting to convert a local ruler to Christianity. Magellan’s
crew, mostly Spaniards, spread interest in the islands back in
Spain. In 1543, before a permanent Spanish colony had been
settled on the islands, explorer Ruy López de Villalobos
presumptuously named the two islands of Leyte and Samar
as Las Islas Filipinas (The Philippine Islands). Over the next 300
years, the Spanish would colonize the additional islands we now
know as the Philippines. The entire archipelago would come to
be known under this name ADD A FOOTER

 AND, WHO
WAS THIS
PHILIP?
“Philip” was Philip II (1527 – 1598)
• eventually to become the King of Spain. He
was king for a while: 1554-1598. 
•  So, if you’re carefully following the dates, at
the time that the Philippines was named, he
wasn’t yet king. He was just the Prince of
Asturias. 
• When he was King, Spain reached the height
of it’s power, but also mismanaged the
Spanish Armada, an attempt to invade
England and the beginning of English
momentum over Spanish dominance.

 THEN, WHY IS IT CALLED
‘THE PHILIPPINES’ AND NOT
‘LAS ISLAS FILIPINAS’?
During the time of US rule, the
islands became known as The
Philippine Islands, an English
version of the Spanish Las Islas
Filipinas.

country is known
