Thank you for the advice.
I know just a little bit about the Spanish-American War but I know that the Philippines were - together with Puerto Rico, Guam and Cuba - the booty for the USA.

And I know a little bit about the importance of the Manila Galleons for the revenue of the Spanish Empire

and the role of the Casa de Contratacion in Manila.

I just know a little about Bong Bong and Imelda and Ferdinand and the role of the huge embassy complex on Roxas Avenue for the politics of the Philippines in the last 50 years and I know just a little bit of the assassination of Benigno Aquino on the airport of Manila.

But what I know and what I have seen is enough.
