Philippine History at Wikipedia

Today’s featured article on Wikipedia is the History of the Philippines.

On this day, October 20, sixty-two years ago, General Douglas MacArthur returned to the Philippines as promised. In 1955 on this day, The Return of the King was first published. The Monterey Bay Aquarium first opened its doors on this day in 1984. The Oakland Hills firestorm also happened on this day in 1991. This day also happens to be my birthday.

I waited for my link to the History of the Philippines to appear as a post using del.icio.us‘s built-in daily blog tool but it failed for some reason. I just have to post links like this manually, I suppose.
