How Philippines became a Catholic country?

The Catholic faith was introduced to the Philippines when Ferdinand Magellan landed in the Philippines in 1521, however it wasn't until 1565 when the first permanent Spanish settlement was established by Miguel Lopez de Legazpi in Cebu that Catholicism started to spread. As a result of more than 300 years of Spanish rule Catholicism became the predominant religion. The first Christian Filipinos were Rajah Humabon and Queen Juana who were baptised in Cebu on the spot where Magellan planted the cross that has become a Cebu tourist attraction.
