The Philippines were discovered and claimed by Ferdinand Magellan (sailing for Spain) in his trip around the world. This proved to be his final destination as Magellan and several of his crew were killed during a revolt there. It was Magellan's surviving crew that eventually made it home, although even then only about 24 were left in the end. Spain later annexed the Philippines as a colony, and it remained that way until annexed by the United States at the end of the Spanish-American War in 1899, and later granted independence in 1948.
