have u heard about Philippines???

Answer 1

thousands of islands compose the phillipines!!!they were at various times controlled by the trding chinese,the british and the americans in history!!they have the most beautiful,graceful,precious and lyrically voiced women in the entire world!!they are a people who produce wonder musical entertainment to many continents and are as a whole very amicable, talented and life-affirming in all of their aspects and livelihoods!!they are a very admirablly equpped people with regard to tade,productivity and manufacture and husbandry!!they are generally and refreshingly free from european and american preoccupations as the quest for power and domination!!!their islands are blest with rain,fertility and rich soils!!although at sometimes plagued by hurricanes,volcanoes and bad weather the people of the phillipines exhibit a robust ability to calmly and stoically and joyously rebuild and start again and rejoin the quest for happiness and life with inestimable courage and resilience!!the spanish control of the islands trade centers lad to the great period of the manila galleon trade between the phillipines and acapulco, mexico from the late 1500's well into the 1800's!!this trade consisted of chinese porcelain,inlaid firniture ,jewels and gemstones from throughout asia;rubies ,narasing diamonds,saffires and topazes from ceylon and india,jeweled sword hilts,polished cotton,silks,fabrics with gold and silver filigree and embroidery,benzoin,ambergris and beeswax and many other wonderful and exotics products like sandalwood and incensence,oils and unguents!!i call these ship's cargoes the "manifests of heaven" and of these the most precious were the women of these islands brought to the new world as brides for the early conquistadores and later grandees of mexico,nuevo granada,peru and elsewhere!!the celebration in mexico of "las chinas problanas" is a reminder of the debarkation of these beautiful and reslendantly attired potential brides from these marvelous treasure ships when they arrived in port after a long and many times treturrous voyage which many times resulted in the death of all of the passengers and crew by wrecks,disasterous weather,or starvation!!!these ships were richer than any ever to sail the carribean and in most cases never left manila without $5 billion in non-perishable cargo!!!eighteen of these ships over the three hundred years of the trade sailed into oblivion with no trace left behind and were never found!!i research these wrecks and their archaeological remains and i believe several are sunk near where i now reside!!and i am well-disposed to want finding them!!i have many and much promising information of a very thoroughly reseached and encouraging nature on the richest of them ALL!!GOOGLE WILL GIVE YOU WORLDS OF INFORMATION ON THE SPANISH ESTABLISHMENT OF THE "INTROMUROS" ENCLAVE THROUGH ALL OF IT'S ARCHITECTURAL PHASES OF BUILDING!cebu was a submarine base for the americans during and prior to world war two and is reputed to have the most beautiful women in the archipeligo!!it is also the site of the intrigues of magellen's expedition which sought to divide and conquer the islands by pitting mactan island's ruler against that of cebu's!!in this battle magellan himself was killed before he,personnally,could return to spain and take the honor of the first circumnavigation of the globe by sea!!pigafegetta his chronicler from his diary recorded all of the events of the voyage!!of 1515-18!!andres urdaneta had acquired a chart ,perhaps of chinese origin,that showed two great counter-currents that would allow the pacific ocean to be traversed all of the way to the americas in a highly organized and predictable manner!!at one point in manila the chinese seafayers were notified that they were no longer welcome on american shores (where they incidently had traded and voyaged since before 495 a.d.)in that year an iranian from luristan named by them hwoei sheng"the brilliant one"led an expedition to the coast of the magical land of fusang!!!10,000 li to the east of china!!this was chronicled in the archives of the chinese emperors in the year of his return in 495 a.d. by the christian calendar!!a chinese restaurnt exists in lima peru that is saaid to have existed before pizarro landed on gallo island!!!and it still is serving food today as we speak!!the phillipines were and are rich in gold and silver ores!!their was established by the spaniards a mint at manila to mint coins with the mark "Mo"ON THE FACE!!RICE AND FISH ARE THE MAJOR INGREDIENT OF MOST PHILLIPINO QUISINE;ALONG WITH PORK AND VEGETABLE FOODSTUFFS!!MUCH OF THE FLAVOR OF VARIOUS COLONIAL POWERS FOODS HAVE HAD SOME MINOR INFKUENCE ON PHILLIPINO COOKING AS HAS THE VARIOUS LANGUAGES AND CULTURAL MANNERS AND AFFECTATIONS!!THE CLOTHING AND THE ARCHITECTURE OF NATIVE SOURCES IN IDEALLY ADAPTED TO THE GRACE OF THE PEOPLE AND THEIR TROPICALL TEMPERATURES!!MANY GREAT SEA BATTLES OCCURRED IN PHILLIPINE WATERS ,WHOSE COURAGEOUS COMBATANTS ON ALL SIDES CAN BE JUSTLY AND DESERVEDLY PROUD BY THEIR OPERATION AND EXECUTION!!!MANY GREAT SHIPS LIKE THE SUPERDREADNOUGHT THE MUSASHI,SISTER SHIP OF THE YAMATO(WITH 18 INCH GUNS THE LARGEST BATTLESHIP EVER BUILT) LIES IN THE WESTERN CENTRAL ISLANDS SOUTH OF MANILA!!MAY DESTROYERS,CRUISERS,CARRIERS AND PLANES AND SUBMARINES OF ALL SIDES LITTER ,SADLY, THE ISLANDS NOW TRANQUIL WATERS!!MOUNT MAYON'S RECENT ERUPTIONS HAVE SHOWN HOW DEVASTATING AND PERVASIVE THE DAMAGE OF UNTAMED NATURE CAN BE TO HUMAN ENDEAVORS!!what little
