Why didn't Portugal colonize the Philippines?

Today, we will explore the history of the rise and decline of the Portuguese empire in Asia and its conflict with Spain over the Philippines.

This is a great video of the dawn of global exploration and the fate of the Philippine Islands. Can you also create a video that discusses more about Portuguese’s relationship with the Philippines prior to the archipelago being totally colonized by Spain?

the Spanish sailor and explorer Juan Sebastian El Cano was the discoverer of the Filipines and first to circumnavigate the world! My Respect to Spain ❤🇪🇸

[@florenzryansotelo8552]

Historian William Henry Scott once said, “Perhaps the discovery of the Philippines was made in Malacca.”
Kindly read: “The Suma Oriental of Tome Pires” on how the Portuguese encountered the Lusones Dirajas in the Sultanate of Malacca much earlier than when Magellan sailed westward from Spain.
