The Philippines is a country of many names. Early Chinese traders who visited Mindoro called it Ma-yi or Ma-i which means land of gold, Liu-Sing, San Hsii or San Tao and Haitan. In a map of Claudius Ptolemy, a famous ancient geographer of Alexandria it was named Maniolas. Europeans who visited our country gave names Islas del Poniente and Islas del Oriente.
