First Contact of Legaspi and Urdaneta Opens Philippines
The Spanish expedition led by Miguel Lopez de Legazpi and Father Andres de Urdaneta reached the Philippines in January 1568 after a long voyage from Mexico. They brought Christianity to the islands, beginning four centuries of Spanish influence. By later centuries Christianity would encompass about 24 million people, nearly five sixths of the population. Legazpi named the archipelago after King Philip II of Spain.
