Noon Sa Africa, America,Australia, Pacific Island, ibang parte ng Asya ay normal lang na walang takip ang pang itaas ng babae, ang tanging natatakpan lamang ay mula beywang pababa.
Nagbago lahat ng ito simula ng dumating ang mga Kristyanong misyonaryo (15th century) sa iba't ibang kontinente, dahilan kaya naging konserbatibo ang pananamit ng mga kababaihan.

Fact 55
Scarborough Shoal and SABAH is part of Philippines
MAPA DELAS YSLAS PHILIPINAS
Ancient Spanish maps show Scarborough shoal and North Borneo (SABAH) is part of Philippine islands.
Maps dating back to the early Spanish colonial period, which were the standard references for explorers and travelers and acknowledged by governments and regimes, clearly show Panatag Shoal, also called Panacot, just off the Philippine coast.
The maps are among 134 original maps on exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
The exhibit, “Three Hundred Years of Philippine Maps,” features maps of the archipelago from 1598 to the American colonial era.
The exhibit is part of the celebration of Philippine-Spanish Friendship Day on June 30.
Fr. Pedro Murillo Velarde’s 18th century “Mapa de las Islas Filipinas” clearly shows Panatag Shoal lying just across Zambales.
The Jesuit Murillo was given the task by Gov. Fernando Valdes Tamon in 1732 to execute a Royal decree on the mapping of the Philippines, which was then a territory of Spain.
Two years later, a complete map of the Philippines was conceived.
The engraver was Nicolas de la Cruz Bagay, described on the bottom of the map as an “indio tagalo.”
A smaller version of the map was made in 1744 and published in Murillo’s 1749 history of the Jesuit province. Fr. Miguel Selga, SJ in his bicentennial monograph in 1934, enumerated 125 important islands found in both maps.
Both show Panatag, then called Panacot. It was also called Bajo de Masinloc.
The plates of Murillo’s map disappeared when British invaders looted Manila in 1762-1764.
The name Bajo de Masinloc was a name given to the shoal by the Spanish colonizers. -philstar
NORTH BORNEO DISPUTE:
In 1658, the Sultan of Brunei gave Sabah to the Sultan of Sulu for his help in sending Tausug Warriors to stop a rebelion and civil war. Since then, Sabah became a property of Sultan of Sulu and the Sultanate of Sulu.
In 1878, HM Sultan Hamalul Aklam Kiram (The Sultan of Sulu and the Sultan of Sabah), leased Sabah to a British Company of Gustavus Baron de Overdeck and Alfred Dent "The North Borneo Company.", for their used and their heirs. The leased prohibits the transfer of Sabah to any nation, company or individual without the consent of the Government of the Sultan of Sulu.
In 1946-47, the leased was illegally transfered to the British Government by Overdeck and Dent when their company North Borneo ceased to exist.
On September 12,1962, the still on leased territory of North Borneo (SABAH) and the full sovereignty, the title and dominion over the territory was ceded by the then reigning Sultan of Sulu, HM Sultan Muhammad Esmail E. Kiram I to the Republic of the Philippines. The cession effectively gave the Philippine Government the full authority to pursue their claim in international courts.
In 1963, the British illegally transferred Sabah to newly formed Federation of Malaysia. Upon the illegal inclusion of Sabah into Malaysian Federation, President Diosdado Macapagal broke diplomatic relation with Malaysia.

Fact 59
After Einstein's death in 1955, his brain was removed from his head by Thomas Stoltz Harvey for research purposes. But this was done illegally. Later Einstein's son Hans Albert Einstein gave him permission to research on the genius brain. Harvey sent slices of Einstein's brain to various scientists throughout the world.
From these studies it was discovered that Einstein's brain had much more glial cells, the cells responsible for synthesizing information, in his brain than an average human being. Also, Einstein's brain lacked a certain wrinkle in it, called Sylvian fissure. This allowed easier communication of nerve cells with each other. Furthermore, his brain was denser and the inferior parietal lobe associated with mathematical ability was much larger.
