What would happen to us if no one discovers Japan, Philippines, and America and so on? Philip from Spaniards discovered Philippines. This is the reason why Philippines got the name and I do not know who discovered America. Is it Christopher Columbus? I forgot.
Do you think our economy would not evolve at all? Do you think our old culture would remain with us? What would happen to us if we were not influenced by other religions? Maybe Christianity would not spread at all in other parts of the country and in the Philippines because Spaniards came here in the Philippines to spread Christianity, and it is not only Spaniards, other people who influenced us like Buddhism, Muslim and so on in the present days.
Are there lands that still not yet notice? Are there lands that still not yet visited by other people from other countries? I mean -- country with no name or people have not visited for a very long time or people have not yet notice that there are other countries with no name. If Philip didn't came here in our country, Philippines, I am sure our country still has no name on it and of course, country all over the world would not notice us at all. The same with other countries.

well as far as i know. expedition are made because of plagues, famine, wars, and poverty, strong and well civilized country like Spain searches, conquers and colonizes unknown land so they could take all the resources and captures the native and sell them as slaves, but Philippines is indeed beautiful and lots of natural resources so they even bother to name the land after their king.

Oh yes. Philippines has lots of natural resources, but now, everything changes. There some people who take advantage of our natural resources like some people who do illegal logging. Some are not taking good care by other people and some are destroyed by the natural calamities, and I watch once on TV about slaves in Africa. In the past, white people went to Africa to get some group of people, and brought it to their land and made them slaves, but as time goes by, African people gain human equal rights and now, black and white people have the same human equal rights not like before.

I think No country no borders and one rule will be the best option in this recent world for peace and love.

I heard from some religious people that if there would rule one leader and one world, it would end the world. That means, if one world is no country and no borders at all, according to some religious, the world would end even if means one leader who rule the world gives peace and love.
Well.. for me its very confusing when it comes to religion.

I'd think if Philippines was not discovered before by Magellan and was not colonized by the Spaniards, then Filipinos would have been Muslims, like the malaysians, but then.. It could be possible that the Chinese would have also been the one to take over? not sure about that though as I believe during those times Philippines was not united, and was not running as a country but as an island.

If ever Chinese was the one who take over the Philippines rather than Spaniards, everything would changed, but I choose Chinese rather than Spaniards if that would happen. The reason why I choose Chinese is because they treat good to our Filipinos unlike Spaniards. Spaniards abused their powers over the Filipinos and of course, if ever Chinese was the one who take over the Philippines, our culture would be changed a lot not like our culture today, and that also includes religion. For example, Buddhism. Instead a Christian country, Philippines would be called a Buddhist country.
I think country Philippines would become prosperous and a rich country if that happened in real life. I am not sure. I just feel it. Our country is make up of Christian believers and most of them are Catholics, and Catholics is always meddling the government and if for example, Chinese was the one who take over the Philippines, there was a possibility that we become rich and prosperous, and were not limit by the Christian leaders.

All countries are discovered and I do not think that any country is left out.
Even the North pole and South pole has been reached.It is my imagination that the part of the world might have got destroyed by Nature and here and there people survived and they started searching the land and so the discoveries.Also, if you look at the monument and the way built shows how brave , intelligent people lived.
Suppose if we imagine a situation now, some of the people of any country live in any part of the world and stay there for study or work. If the Nature destroys the world and the people survive the nature may try to search their countries.

I don't know about the other countries but I think the Philippines was discovered by Ferdinand Magellan. It was only named Philippines in honor of King Philip II of Spain. If spain didn't colonize us then we would still be muslims and there would be no 'Philippines', I think we will just be composed of independent warring kingdoms like the Kingdom of Manila, Sultanate of Cebu, Sultanate of Sulu etc... . It was Spain who united the entire archipelago and named it Philippines.

How I wish I knew all about King Philip II of Spain. Oh yes. Ha ha. I forgot. Ferdinand Magellan was the one who discovered the Philippines. It means that when Ferdinand Magellan went to Philippines, the land has no name at all. I was thinking of how did Spain came up and who discovered them if they were a rich country. Gosh... that was a long time ago.

In my own opinion, if Philippines and other countries weren't discovered, they should be dominated by other countries now. I wasn't here I think in the Philippines, if it was not discovered.
