I've changed the selected biography to Andrew Gonzalez. But on second thought, I think Epifanio de los Santos would be appropriate. What do you think? --Mithril Cloud 16:14, 1 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Actually, in 1543 Ruy Lopez de Villalobos used the name "Las Islas Felipinas" in honor of Crown Prince Don Felipe, who would later become King Phillip II, on January 16, 1556. Ruy Lopez died before Don Felipe ascended to the Spanish throne.

Barangay Putik

edit

Historical Background

edit

Long before the coming of the Spaniards to Zamboanga, the place has no name. And this is how Putik got its name…..

At the time when the Spaniards occupied Zamboanga, they usually go around to see different places. One day, they met a tradesman who came from Luzon. The tradesman accompanied by the Spaniards went sight-seeing around the place. It was a rainy season that time and the soil seemed like clay, and so it was slippery. While they were walking, one of the Spaniards stumbled down. He suddenly stood up and asked the trader what was the name of the place. He answered “putik”, he meant muddy. That knowing the tradesman does not know Spanish.

From that time and until now, they call this place as PUTIK.

Notice from the Portals WikiProject

edit

WikiProject Portals is back!

The project was rebooted and completely overhauled on April 17th, 2018. Its goals are to revitalize the entire portal system, make building and maintaining portals easier, support the ongoing improvement of portals and the editors dedicated to this, and design the portals of the future.

As of May 2nd, 2018, membership is at 60 editors, and growing. You are welcome to join us.

There are design initiatives for revitalizing the portals system as a whole, and for improving each component of portals. So far, 2 new dynamic components have been developed: Template:Transclude lead excerpt and Template:Transclude random excerpt.

Tools are provided for building and maintaining portals, including automated portals that update themselves in various ways.

And, if you are bored and would like something to occupy your mind, we have a wonderful task list.

From your friendly neighborhood Portals WikiProject. Hope to see you there. Sincerely,    — The Transhumanist   07:41, 2 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
