How the Philippines Got Its Name: The Story of a Prince Who Never Visited An Explorer & 7000 Islands

Did you know the Philippines was named after a 16th-century Spanish prince who never once set foot on its shores? In this documentary, we explore the fascinating story of how the Philippine archipelago got its name—from ancient Chinese trading records calling it "Ma-i," to Ferdinand Magellan's "Islas de San Lázaro," to the official naming by explorer Ruy López de Villalobos in 1543.
