One of the leaders that fought against Spanish rule in the Philippines was Andres Bonifacio he headed the KKK (Kataastaasan Kagalanggalangan ng Katipunan). Among over revolutionaries were Apolinario Mabini (the Brains of the Katipunan) and Tangdang Sora (the Mother of the Katipunan). Andres Bonificio was from the masses and had different opinions in terms of how to fight against the Spaniards from those of Jose Rizal. Jose Rizal preferred a bloodless revolution but the KKK wanted an all out revolt.

The king or queen of Spain (rey de España or reina de de España) is the head of state and the commander-in-chief of the Royal Armed Forces. The monarch's power is mainly symbolic, because all royal acts must be approved by either the Prime Minister of Spain or the President of the Congress of Deputies to be valid

ummm nope. b4 yes. i thought he was. but come to think of it. his great deeds were not been apreciated by the present filipinos. why? because his bad deeds had more weight. but past is past. i think Garcia is the best. his policies and in that time the economy (currency) of the philippines is much much better than today.

Ahh, the Infamous Bataan Death March, where fighters in the Phillipines were captures by the Japanese on the rugged lands of Bataan and forced to march ot their eventual prison camps. So many died along the way, either by disease, their wounds or the sadism of their captors.

March 16,1521... Magellan, a missionary of spain arrived in limasawa islands... then made ties with the locals and spread the roman catholic religion... called the country philippines in honor of king philip II of spain during that time...\nthus ever since the country is composed of 95% catholics...

Have you tried the Philippine government website?  \n\nhttp://http://www.gov.ph/\n\nOn right side of the home page, there is a listing "by category."  Agriculture, defense, economy...I would imagine those are the governmental departments you're looking for.  Each link will bring you to a new page...often with a link to that specific departments webpage.  You'll find the head, chairman, et cetera there.\n\nHope this helps.

The reason why, and the how of it, is fully discussed here: http://www.loc.gov/rr/hispanic/1898/trask.html\nBreifly, between 1895 and 1898 Cuba and the Philippine Islands revolted against Spain. The Cubans gained independence, but the Filipinos did not. In both instances the intervention of the United States was the culminating event.

I guess you could say that the Philippines was discovered by Ferdinand Magellen but the Philippines was named after Philip II (Spanish: Felipe II de Habsburgo; Portuguese: Filipe I) (May 21, 1527 – September 13, 1598), known to some historians by the indelicate nickname "Philip the Sap", was the first official King of Spain from 1556 until 1598, king of Naples and Sicily from 1554 until 1558, King of England (co-regent with Mary I) from 1554 to 1558, King of Portugal and the Algarves (as Philip I) from 1580 until 1598 and King of Chile from 1554 until 1556. He was born at Valladolid and was the only legitimate son of Holy Roman Emperor Charles V and Isabella, the daughter of king Manuel I of Portugal, to survive childhood.

Andres Bonifacio was a great leader at battle, but he used fisical force when fighting, while Jose Rizal used his wit and intelligence to help get the indepence of the Philippines from the Spaniards. I suggest you read the "Noli me Tangere" and "El Filibusterismo" so you can find out what moved the hearts of the Filipino people to get the independence.\n\ngood luck.

Jake Montana, you are dead wrong.  The Filipino uprising in at the turn of the 20th century was caused by equally abusive administration of those islands by their new colonizers as compared to their previous owners the Spaniards.  The US Army in the Philippines conducted a campaign of genocide against entire villages in attempts to quell very minor dissent incidents by the local populace. \n\nIn the year 2006, these are acknowledged facts and not the work of fiction as depicted in the 1950's era history books you apparently have been drawing your information from.

The Spanish American War (1898) was the first "overseas" war, as America fought the Spanish in the Philippines (and Cuba, too).

Dr. José Protacio Mercado Rizal y Alonzo Realonda (June 19, 1861 – December 30, 1896), variously called the "Pride of the Malay Race," "The Great Malayan," "The First Filipino," "The Messiah of the Revolution," "The Universal Hero" and "The Messiah of the Redemption." He is the national hero of the Philippines.\n\nRizal was a polyglot. The medium of instruction in various academies in the Philippines and Europe where he studied were Spanish, French, Latin and German. There are facsimiles of letters of his that are in excellent German, and he also had correspondence in Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, English, German and Dutch. He made translations from Arabic, Swedish, Russian, Chinese, Greek, Hebrew, Japanese, Latin, Sanskrit. In addition he had at least some knowledge of Malay, Chavacano, Cebuano, Ilocano, and Subanun besides his native Tagalog.\n\nHe was a poet. As a polymath, he was also an amateur architect, artist, educator, amateur economist, amateur ethnologist, scientific farmer, historian, inventor, journalist, mythologist, internationalist, naturalist, novelist, ophthalmologist, physician, propagandist, sculptor, martial artist, and amateur sociologist.\n\nA patriot of the highest order, the anniversary of Rizal's death, December 30, is now celebrated as a holiday in the Philippines, called Rizal Day.
