OK, OK I didn't get the grammar perfect....
Can you prove it was Magellan?
Might just be that the people living there at the time 'discovered' it long before Magellan was conceived?
I only learnt to spell Phillipines, er Philippines or is it Philipinnes, recently..... does it really matter?
Ain't it the thought that counts?
Thanks Iain, I met my Filipina on the Guardians Soulmates site.
Light-hearted thing for me at the time, but I bought a 3 month subscription and cancelled it after 2 weeks. Didn't need that any more.
Never been the same since!
Like yesterday I get a text saying 'we got flooded out by the tail end of Typhoon Labuyo'. She lives in Las Piñas City, in a low lying area, and lost 99% of her hard won possessions. I speak to her today in the process of cleaning up, and she says quite calmly 'we get 3 a year on average...'
It's an education for me.
In many different ways.
