Abstract
Since 2000 the Spanish government has implemented a series of political plans for Spain to increase its visibility and strengthen diplomatic and cultural relationships in Asia. In these policies, the Philippines is considered a singular country in that it shares a common history with Spain. Through the analysis of the origins, context and discourses of these Spanish policies, this work discusses the different ways in which the Spanish legacy in the Philippines is revisited. The article argues that memory and politics are intertwined regarding a Spanish obsession for memorializing the shared past. Moreover, the Philippines is viewed by Spain through a Eurocentric lens, with underlying colonialist statements in many cases.
