Butuan was actually known for its gold. It was a trading city, a hub.

Yes Sir, noted on this.

thank you.

it caught my attention really that Germany and the Dutch has also occupied a very small portion of our vast shorelines(specifically in Luzon) during those time but didn't pursue an all-out intrusion the way the Spaniards, Americans, Japanese and British(only GMA and it's nearby provinces(?)) has done.

Maybe the Germans developed a cold-feet(?) upon learning that Uncle Sam won the war against Spain and it will be a suicide if they decided to mess up with the Yankees so they decided to pack-up and live despite having one of the biggest(?) armada they've assembled because they are really dead-serious to snatch the archipelago in the hands of the Espanioles.

As for the Dutch, oh boy!! they really had the courage to slug it out with the Spaniards by engaging them in the so-called Battle at the Manila Bay several times by sending some reinforcement along the way but unfortunately they didn't succeed and went home devastated(?) hmmm..a good piece for a possible movie script..hehehehe.

The Dutch didn't really establish much of a foothold, yes. They were pretty small too, and just focused on trade.
