The Malays discovered the Pre-Hispanic Philippines. Ferdinand Magellan re-discovered the Philippines in March 1521.
Note: Your verb "discover" should be in simple past tense. Which should be "discovered".

Negritos were the first one to discover the Philippines.
They went to the Philippines using the "Tulay ng lupa".
Second were the Indones.
Third was the Malay.
A thousand or more years ago Magellan discovered the Philippines.

Who discovered the Philippines ? Only the western countries claimed to have discovered our country, destroyed our culture and imposed their own.. But before they came, the Chinese merchants were already trading with the locals, treating them with respect, and living with them in peace and harmony. But the Chinese never claimed they discovered this country.
