8. THE PHILIPPINES  Although the Spanish did not find spices in the Philippines, they did find fertile land and an excellent location for trade.  Spanish soldiers and officials established a fortified settlement at Manila on the island of Luzon.  Manila’s magnificent harbor made the Philippines a valuable link in Spain’s trade with Asia and the Americas.
