Before Magellan “discovered” us, OUR ANCESTORS already sailed 10,000 KM across the Indian Ocean to MADAGASCAR. 
They want you to think we were just islanders waiting to be colonized. The TRUTH?
Oldest Balangay boat in Butuan is carbon-dated to 320 AD - 1,200 YEARS before Spanish came. Austronesian master navigators from Philippines/Borneo reached Madagascar 1,500 years ago using stars, waves, and wind - NO compass. Same boat-building technology as our Balangay. While Europeans were afraid to sail beyond sight of land, our ancestors colonized half the planet.We were the greatest navigators in human history. They erased that.
Filipinos didn’t just live on islands. We CONQUERED oceans. 
Tag a Filipino who needs to know we reached AFRICA before Columbus reached America!
Meanwhile, Have You Heard of Palawan's Underground River?
Puerto Princesa Underground River is one of Palawan's greatest natural wonders.
A river that flows through a cave and straight into the sea, it winds for kilometers beneath a limestone mountain, with towering formations and large chambers. The Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and was named one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature.
Visitors take small paddle boats into the cave, with only headlamps lighting the silent stone halls above them.
Would you take the boat ride into the dark, or is that too much adventure for you?
Lastly, Do You Know Where America’s happiest people live? 
Hawaii takes the top spot, but some of the other results might surprise you: Maryland ranks 2nd, Nebraska 3rd and New Jersey 4th. Meanwhile, Texas comes in at just 37th, Alaska 46th and West Virginia finishes last.
WalletHub’s ranking compares all 50 states using 30 indicators, including mental and physical health, income, job satisfaction, sleep, safety and community connections.
The takeaway? Sunshine and money don’t necessarily buy happiness
