Reflection:

In the 1700 and 1800 history of our country, The Philippines, I would say that a lot of
things that made a huge impact on our current timeline today happened in this time. The
foreign name became the Governor-General of the Philippines. Manila fell under British rule.
The British wanted to use Manila as an entrepôt for trade in the region, particularly with China.
In addition, the Spanish agreed to deliver a ransom to the British in exchange for the city being
spared from any further sacking. The resistance from the provisional Spanish colonial
government established by members of the Royal Audience of Manila led by Lieutenant
Governor Simón de Anda y Salazar and their Filipino troops prevented British forces from
expanding their control of Filipino territory beyond the neighbouring towns of Manila and
Cavite. And lastly, the devastating impact of Mt. Taal Eruption from May 15 to December 5
1754 that resulted in Dozens of people perished during the eruption. Large numbers of
livestock and pets were also left behind when tens of thousands of people evacuated. Ash even
affected the fish, mainly tilapia and milkfish, being raised in thousands of aquaculture pens in
Taal Lake.
