The correct answer is no. Before Magellan arrived in the Philippines, visitors, traders, and colonizers as the Malayo-Polynesians arrived at the country and over the next 2000 years, they spread across the Philippines.

The Philippines were claimed for Spain in 1521 by Ferdinand Magellan, a Portuguese explorer sailing for Spain, who named the islands in honor to King Philip II of Spain.
