Summary: "Carmen Guerrero Nakpil recollects the facts in order to correct twisted versions of our past. For one, she stresses, the Spaniards through Legaspi didn't bring civilization to the Philippines. It's wrong to celebrate June 24 as Manila's foundation. In the 16th centure we were not naked savages who had never had a taste of social organization but traders, investors, sailors, explorers, living in cities and kingdoms, owning ships and underwriting large scale ventures. After proclaiming Spanish sovereignty in Tondo, Legaspi continued to recognize Sulayman and Lakandula as lords and masters of Manila and Tondo." - Jarius Bondoc, The Philippine Star, 1 December 2010
