Answer 2

Ruy Lopez de Villalobos

Explanation:

• Ruy Lopez de Villalobos is famous among Filipinos for giving the Philippine archipelago the name "Las Islas Filipinas" in 1543.
• Islas de Poniente and Islas de San Lazaro were the names given to the Spanish territory at the time.
• Malaga is proud to be the hometown of the famous Spanish explorer and one of the first Spaniards to establish contact with the Philippines, according to Mayor Francisco De La Torre.
• Ambassador Lhuillier thanked the Foro and the City of Malaga for the portrait and the kind welcome he received during his visit.
• “The name ‘Filipinas' is a constant acknowledgement of our longstanding links and shared past,”
• The Ambassador says, adding that receiving the image is “a monument to our good relations, also emphasises how far the bilateral relationship between [Spain and the Philippines] has progressed in all areas—politically, economically, and culturally.”
• The Ambassador also mentioned the increased number of Spaniards visiting the Philippines, as well as recent research findings from the Spanish retail giant El Corte Ingles claiming that Filipino tourists spend more than 2,000 euros on vacation in Spain, making them the country's most expensive visitors.
• He emphasised the enormous economic and social benefits that both countries will reap by continuing to look for ways to improve people-to-people contacts, which will be boosted by the upcoming signing of the Air Transport Agreement.
