In the middle of thirteenth century (year 1250), ten Bornean Datus led by Datu Puti sailed with their family and community from Borneo northward and landed on Panay.

There they met the Negrito Chieftain King Marikudo and Maniwantiwan. They bought the island from the chieftain for a golden salakot (headpiece or helmet), and a golden necklace, given to his wife among other gifts. The Negritos then retreated to the mountains, while the Borneans settled in the lowlands

Page 7: Philippine history (some) event timeline

The Treaty of Paris in 1763 brought back Spanish rule and the British left in 1764. The brief British occupation weakened Spain's grip on power and sparked rebellions and demands for independence.

Spanish rule on the Philippines was briefly interrupted in 1762, when British troops invaded and occupied the islands as a result of Spain's entry into the Seven Years' War.

This treaty, signed on September 3, 1783, between the American colonies and Great Britain, ended the American Revolution and formally recognized the United States as an independent nation.

Page 13: Philippine history (some) event timeline

In 1916, the Philippine Autonomy Act, widely known as the Jones Law, was passed by the U.S. Congress.

The law placed executive power in the Governor General of the Philippines, appointed by the President of the United States, but established a bicameral Philippine Legislature to replace the elected Philippine Assembly (lower house) and appointive Philippine Commission (upper house) previously in place.

The Filipino House of Representatives would be purely elected, while the new Philippine Senate would have the majority of its members elected by senatorial district with senators representing non-Christian areas appointed by the Governor-General.

The Jones Act of 1916 was signed under the Wilson presidency as well, it promised to give the Philippines their full independence when they had reached a position of stable government.

Page 15: Philippine history (some) event timeline

Joseph Estrada, who had served as Ramos's vice president and enjoyed widespread popularity, was elected president in 1998.

Within a year, however, Estrada's popularity sharply declined amid allegations of cronyism and corruption and failure to remedy the problems of poverty. Once again, street rallies supported by Cardinal Sin and Corazon Aquino took place.

Then, in 2000 Senate investigators accused Estrada of having accepted bribes from illegal gambling businesses. Following an abortive Senate impeachment trial, growing street protests, and the withdrawal of support by the armed forces, Estrada was forced out of office on January 20, 2001.

Vice President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo was sworn in as Estrada's successor on the day of his departure.
