It was ruled by Spain as a colony for over 300 years. In 1898, the Philippines traded one ruler for another when the United States took over in the aftermath of its victory in the Spanish-American War. Despite all its challenges, the Philippines is becoming an increasingly vibrant and modern society as it moves forward in the 21st century.
