Año 1646 ,los Países Bajos ,planean la invasión de las Filipinas bajo la corona de España y apoderarse de ellas.
Los holandeses superan en numero de españoles y filipinos, sus barcos y tropas están mejor pertrechados que las españolas,en ese momento las Filipinas eran una colonia muy joven y muy vulnerable a cualquier ataque del exterior,por aquel entonces los españoles empezaban a extenderse por el dominio filipino.
España cuenta con dos galeones mercantes que hacen la ruta de Filipinas-Mexico,estos se enfrentaran contra una armada holandesa de 18 galeones y un buen numero de galeotes y botes de pequeño tamaño.
Los dos galeones con los que cuenta España son el Encarnación y el Rosario,bajo el mando de el General Lorenzo de Orella y Ugalde ,y el Admirante Sebastian Lopez respectivamente.
Aunque los dos capitanes eran veteranos militares, se prevía una terrible batalla para ganar y alcanzar la victoria algo imposible.
En medio de la desesperación, recurrieron a la Virgen del Rosario para una intervención divina...
The year 1646 was the hype of the Dutch marauder's invasion to grab the Philippines from Spain. The Dutch being superior against the Spanish and Filipino troops due to their advance battleships and heavily armed infantry. The Philippines at that time was a young colony of Spain and very vulnerable to other colonial forces, while Spain was just starting to gain ground in Philippine soil. What Spain have were two merchant galleons plying the Philippine-Mexico route, which were fitted to battleships up against the Dutch armada of 18 galleons and numbers of galleys and small vessels. The two ships were the Encarnacion and the Rosario under the command of General Lorenzo de Orella y Ugalde and Admiral Sebastian Lopez respectively. Though the two captains were veteran military men, their calculations of the onslaught battle was grim and to win was almost impossible
GOD PROTECTS THE ISLANDS! VIVA! Viva Las Filipinas! for me, these battles are an important part of phil. history. who knows what could have happened if WE(spaniards and filipinos) lost, there might be no philippines at all.
