@jhazren14 what do you mean by "unfictionally"? I cant seem to find it in the dictionary.

For the people that still think we were conquered through straight battle, they should revisit the Battle of Mactan, Lapu-Lapu's army, fiercely outnumbered, already in conflict with other states/kingdoms/tribes, the Spaniards,of whom apparently(again, apparently,such as,"history is written by the victor") had far superior equipment, were defeated, and had Magellan killed.Our skills of war... It is almost maddening how much they try to call us "primitive", yet, not in the case on the battlefield
