Best Answer

The Philippines was already inhabited by natives and people from Malaysia and Indonesia when the Spanish expeditions sent to conquer and colonize it arrived in 1521 and 1565. There was on-going trade with China, Thailand, Cambodia and other neighboring countries. The people were organized into tribes and had their leaders, laws and "armies."

Granted that it was "discovered" by Ferdinand Magellan, the evidences that exist are the reports of the Spanish chroniclers.

No, it was Vasco Nunez de Balboa in 1513. He was standing on a mountain top in Panama when he saw it and claimed it for Spain.
