Hey Elise, From those two sources, one says:

//"1521 Ferdinand Magellan explores the islands now known as the Philippines

1542 Spanish military party claims islands for Spain; names them "Philippines" after Prince Philip, later King Philip II of Spain; Philippines becomes part of Spanish Empire "//

and the other one just says: //" 1521 - Ferdinand Magellan lands in the Philippines, claiming the islands for Spain"//

which one do you think we should use? because 21 years (1521-1542) is a big difference in time.

Thanks!

Um, sry, guess i'm kinda late now to give a response, but it never hurts to listen to what i have to say anyways :) so, the first one never said that Ferdinand conquered philippines. So adding this info to the second one would be useful. like "the Spanish military party claims the island that Ferdinant Magellan explored in 1521 for Spain and names it "Philippines" after..." And i think the last one is probably totally wrong cuz it doesnt apply to either the what the first source or the second source say. ya. sry that this is totally late.
 * //And, oh ya. for the presentation. which event are u doing? cuz i dont want to clash with you. if we do the same thing, itd be totally lame. I'm thinking of doing Philippines independence act//** **//. So ya... Dont say i didnt tell u if we happen to have chosen the same event.//**

Opps Too late of a response too LoL! WELL it never hurts to listen to what I have to say anyways :) So I'm doing the Closure of Naval Base Subic Bay in 1992, I was pretty sure you wouldn't have chosen this event so I did it. Nice presentation btw :P
