YES, because if would really analyzed the history it shows that the spain has a deep concern and loved to the philippines, because it was named by Ruy Lopez de Villalobos in honor to the prince of Spain which is prince Philip. The country of spain that time was sending annual support to the goverment of the philippines or they called it SITUADO REAL, through the help of mexico. But because of some abusive and corrupt spanish leaders, it did not directly give to the people.
