https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Philippine_place_names_of_Spanish_origin As a result of more than three centuries of Spanish dominance in the islands that are now the republic of the Philippines, an overwhelming number of places in the country have Spanish or Hispanic names. As with Filipino surnames and many other aspects of Filipino culture, place names in the Philippines have received a great deal of Spanish influence, with many places in the former Spanish colony having been named after those in Spain and Latin America. The name Philippines itself originated from its old official name Filipinas in honor of King Philip II of Spain. Spanish language has also become one of the country's official languages from the late 16th century until 1986 when it was designated as a voluntary language and it remains so to this day. Como resultado de más de tres siglos de dominación española en las islas que ahora son la República de Filipinas, una abrumadora cantidad de lugares en el país tienen nombres españoles o hispanos. Al igual que con los apellidos filipinos y muchos otros aspectos de la cultura filipina, los nombres de lugares en Filipinas han recibido una gran influencia española, con muchos lugares de la antigua colonia española de haber sido nombrado después de los de España y América Latina. El nombre en sí Filipinas se originó a partir de sus viejos Filipinas nombre oficial en honor del rey Felipe II de España. Idioma español se ha convertido en uno de los idiomas oficiales del país desde finales del siglo 16 hasta 1986, cuando fue designado como lengua voluntaria y sigue siéndolo hasta hoy. http://www.andropampanga.com/history.htm More Kapampangan words with Spanish origin There are hundreds of Spanish words that have been incorporated into the Kapampangan vocabulary and to other Philippine languages resulting from the possession of the Philippines as a colony of Spain for more than three centuries.

Economy During the Spanish Colonial Period http://tagaloglang.com/The-Philippines/History/economy-during-the-spanish-colonial-period.html In doing so, the Spanish sought to acquire a share in the lucrative spice trade, develop better contacts with China and Japan, and gain converts to Christianity. Only the third objective was eventually realized. As with other Spanish colonies, church and state became inseparably linked in carrying out Spanish objectives. Several Roman Catholic religious orders were assigned the responsibility of Christianizing the local population. The civil administration built upon the traditional village organization and used traditional local leaders to rule indirectly for Spain. Through these efforts, a new cultural community was developed, but Muslims (known as Moros by the Spanish) and upland tribal peoples remained detached and alienated. Trade in the Philippines centered around the “Manila galleons,” which sailed from Acapulco on the west coast of Mexico (New Spain) with shipments of silver bullion and minted coin that were exchanged for return cargoes of Chinese goods, mainly silk textiles and porcelain. There was no direct trade with Spain and little exploitation of indigenous natural resources. Most investment was in the galleon trade. But, as this trade thrived, another unwelcome element was introduced — sojourning Chinese entrepreneurs and service providers. During the Seven Years’ War (1756–63), British East India Company forces captured Manila. Although the Philippines was returned to Spain at the end of the war, the British occupation marked the beginning of the end of the old order. Rebellions broke out in the north, and while the Spanish were busy fighting the British, Moros raided from the south. The Chinese community, resentful of Spanish discrimination, supported the British with laborers and armed men. The restoration of Spanish rule brought reforms aimed at promoting the economic development of the islands and making them independent of subsidies from New Spain. The galleon trade ceased in 1815, and from that date onward the Royal Company of the Philippines, which had been chartered in 1785, promoted direct and tariff-free trade between the islands and Spain. Cash crops were cultivated for trade with Europe and Latin America, but profits diminished after Spain’s Latin American colonies became independent in the 1810s and 1820s. In 1834 the Royal Company of the Philippines was abolished, and free trade was formally recognized. With its excellent harbor, Manila became an open port for Asian, European, and North American traders. In 1873 additional ports were opened to foreign commerce, and by the late nineteenth century three crops—tobacco, abaca, and sugar—dominated Philippine exports.

*note: NOT my pic, but from http://www.filipinofoodonline.co.uk/leche-flan-recipe.html https://foodsofallkinds.wordpress.com/2015/11/23/desserts-types-of-leche-flan/ Difference between Spanish Flan and Filipino Flan Leche Flan? http://www.lmcc-mexico.com/fsves/2537 http://asianinamericamag.com/2014/03/leche-flan-and-its-philippine-origins/ Old cookbooks on my shelves, which I brought from the Philippines ( belonging to my late mother) prominently talk about flan being around during Spain’s colonial rule which lasted nearly 500 years. It is no wonder the strong imprint of Spanish flavors are obvious on many Filipino dishes like this leche flan. similar to Mexican's https://salphotobiz.smugmug.com/Food/Latino-American-Dishes/i-6F6bBCB/A

Intramuros, meaning “within the walls” once claimed position as the military, political and religious of the Spanish empire in Asia and now ironically is one of the most peaceful places for miles.
