Spanish Armouries taken from Manila in 1762
Text
From the museum label:
When the Philippines was under the rule of Spain, British attempted to capture Philippines in AD 1762, leading to a battle between the British and the Spanish in and around Manila, the capital of Philippines. The British won at the end, leading to a very brief British occupation of Manila between 1762 and 1764.
The iron helmets and breastplates exhibited in this showcase were acquired by the British from the Spanish after their victory in the Battle of Manila (1762).

Sensitive Content
Mapping Philippine Material Culture collates digital material from institutions, and some of this material is inherently colonial and contains words, terms and phrases that are inaccurate, derogatory and harmful towards Filipino and Filipino diasporic communities. Catalogue transcriptions, book titles, exhibition titles and museum titles may contain harmful terms. We recognise the potential for the material to cause physical and mental distress as well as evoke strong emotions. Owing to the scale of the collection’s data, a process to implement sensitive-content warnings in the displayed data is still incomplete. The material within the catalogue does not represent Mapping Philippine Material Culture’s views. Mapping Philippine Material Culture maintains a strong anti-colonial, anti-racist position and affirms its support for centring the humanity of historically marginalised and disenfranchised communities.
