San Juan de Dios hospital was not founded by the Americans. It was founded by a Spanish Friar, Fray Juan Clemente, a Franciscan lay brother, in 1578. And it is the oldest hospital in the Philippines, more than 440 years old.

Lapu-lapu was not a Muslim. The people of the kingdom of Cebu and Mactan were Animist. They sacrificed pig and offer the meat to the gods. Magellan and his men saw those dead pigs hanging on a bamboo altar when they went to Cebu 😏 Animism is the belief that objects, places, and creatures all possess a distinct spiritual essence

He already said bulwark. Intramuros is a pentagonal shape meaning 5 sides so every side of the wall have baluarte. Or defence part of the wall out side. or garrison or bastions.

There was no old name of the precolonial Philippines because during those times, the islands of the Philippines was divided into different states and kingdoms including the kingdom of Maynila (Manila) which Rajah Muda Soliman III was the last true king of Manila. The “maharlika or maharlikan” was just a hoax. There is a word maharlika exist during precolonial times. They were the free people in the warrior clans. The word ‘maharlika’ came from the Malay word ‘merdeka’ which means “independent” or “free”

Fenghuang to Changsha or Zhangjiajie to Furong route? Is your trip more than 2 weeks away? One of my train has transit as well. I purchased it, took a gamble and went to the station to switch to a direct train. They only release a certain amount of seats on trip so sometimes buying at the station is easier.
