The Early Years
(Spanish Period, 1869-1898)
 Opening of Suez Canal in 1869 shortened
the route from the Philippines to Europe
Ø Filipinos were able to study in Europe and
observed or became oriented to the rapid
succession of scientific activities (e.g.
Darwin’s theory of evolution in 1859,
Mendel’s law of heredity in 1866, invention
of telephone in 1875)
