Magellan's Expedition and Its Impact

Hey-oh, Music There's still an effect, no matter what, on what happened in 1565, what happened in 1521. Because what Magellan was doing, they were already planning. They were already planning on where they would return. God bless you. When the time comes, to the purposes of colonialism, to the natives of the Visayas, of Luzon, of Mindanao, the impact is more painful. It opened the way to colonization and the end of the way of life that we knew it. They not only introduced Christianity, but they introduced various other things, including their settlement patterns. That was part of their catechism. You can only imagine how that would have changed a lot of their customs, traditions, and day-to-day behavior. Before this expedition, people thought that the world was round by theory. So this journey was a test of people's capacity. The 15th Centennial we are celebrating this year will also use our passion to introduce our elders. Now, we are having a reorientation and refocusing of our history where we are returning our history to the lens or vista of our own writers and historians. We need to understand that in the time of Europe, during the time of the Galician period, the Age of Exploration, they had a system called Mercantilism. When you say mercantilism, the wealth of their country is based on how much gold they have. If there are products that can be added to gold, it is very important for the country to prosper. And... In Europe, at that time, their food was very rich. They realized that in Asia, there are recados that are used to taste food. The spices that we call it. Spices were treated like gold in Europe. And the weight of spice compared to the weight of gold, you can have more spices than the weight of gold. So they were looking for the Maluku. Spain believes that Malucas is part of its territory. So to be able to reach that part of the world, they needed to go to the Portuguese waters. Because they were fighting for the territory of Portugal, Spain decided to find an alternative route to Moluccas. This is now part of Indonesia, in the southern part of Mindanao. The two countries that were allies in the Treaty of Tordesillas were in a conflict and were sanctioned by the Holy Father in Rome. They are going to divide the world. The division is the places in the north, that will be the places of Portugal. The places in the south, especially in South America, will go to Spain. Magellan has a sense of adventure. He believes in the scientific experts who said that the world is round. We have to understand that Magellan was a former Portuguese sailor. He had been to various Portuguese outskirts. post such as in India and of course in Malacca. That's how he got a certain kind of a geographic knowledge of Southeast Asia and of course of the Philippines in that very very early stage of the Portuguese incursion to Southeast Asia. The King of Portugal didn't believe it. He now moved to Spain. And in Spain, the King and Queen were receptive to his idea. So they gave him five ships and boats to start his journey. So, on September 20, 1519, the five ships of the Armada de Malucco left Seville. There's the Trinidad, the flagship of the Armada de Malucco. Magellan himself was the captain. Of course, there's San Antonio, there's Concepcion, there's Santiago, and there's Victoria. Among the... 270 crew of Armada de Malucco. Duarte Barbosa is there, an officer. Francisco Albo, Dines de Macra, the writer, the Italian nobleman, Antonio Pigazzetta. Of course, Padre Pedro de Valderrama is there, the priest they were with. and the Ferdinand Magellan was with Enrique de Malaca. Eventually, he had knowledge of Malay, so he communicated with many people here in Southeast Asia. It was carrying substantial quantities of what we call the divas, meaning to say giveaways. The Magellan expedition to the East relied more on diplomatic approach. The other thing that they carried of course would be armaments. But then unlike what we always thought that the expedition was aimed at conquest, the armaments that they carried were not actually designed for prolonged warfare. Therefore it shows that the expedition was not meant to be a conquering expedition. by the cargo itself. The Philippines has a rich tradition and rich culture before the Magellan Elcano Expedition arrived. Specifically, the traditions of boat building, the traditions of cooking, the traditions of... the decoration of our bodies, and also the other organizations, social organizations that were dominant before the arrival of the Castilians. In the 1950s, when it was discovered that there was a Vaxxer Codex, it was confirmed that the documents of Pigapeta that the Visayas were tattooed. Our neighbors are very kind. We have silk from China. Coastal areas are very bright. Those in the mountains are also very bright. Because they have a constant connection with the coastal areas. If we look at the Laguna Copper Plate inscription, there is also a diplomacy and a connection even with other countries and provinces in the whole Philippines and Southeast Asia. As early as 900 AD, it is recorded through the Laguna Copperplate inscription how connected our ancestors were to Java, Indonesia. It is also evidence of the use of the Java script, known as Nakawe, in various artifacts discovered in the mountains, and this Laguna Copperplate inscription, and the language used in the old writings as early as 900 AD is Malay. There was trading going on among the peoples of the islands and also internationally with the Chinese, with the Arabs, with the Vietnamese, with Thai. You have, in other words, a maritime culture. In the minds of many Filipinos nowadays, They think that when Magellan arrived, they could be powerful. But that's not what Pigafetta wrote. They've been in the Pacific Ocean for hundreds of days. They don't have their own food. They don't have their own water. Then they went to Guam. And in Guam, they didn't even know, the Chamorro were getting up and they were getting their things. They were surprised that, wow, these people are here. Then they started fighting and there were a few Chamorro who died. On March 16, 1521, they saw the Sama. They didn't want to go down immediately. They were scared. They were fearing for their lives. Because they didn't know if people like Chamorro were hostile. They anchored near Suluuan but later they determined that the nearby island of Omonhon would be the more ideal place to land. Recently, a story was found by the Visayas' folklore that tells the story of why there are no people on the island of Humonhon. Apparently, in that area of Humonhon, this is considered to be a sacred place of our ancestors that they don't live in. The island of Humonhon was associated with a certain god called Makapatag. March 17, 1521 is the feast day of San Lazaro. To mark that day, they actually named the islands that they saw in the vicinity as Archipelago of San Lazaro. And the first thing that Magellan did was to put up two tents on the beach for the members, for the sick members of the expedition. They ran out of fuel when they crossed the Pacific. They had very dark nights. They ran out of fuel. On Monday, March 18, 1521, that's when humanity in Omunhon was celebrating. They were visited by the people of Sulu during the Magellan Expedition. And there were exchange gifts. They were given bananas and other kinds of food. So, if you look at the time they arrived here, they really needed it. They were starving, they were starving, they were starving. They went down to Komunhon Island. They were really tired of what they were feeling. If our ancestors didn't feed them, The ones who died... The first time in a long time, we are not talking about the first circumnavigation of the world. The achievement of science and of the human body. After eight days, they were ready to move to the next destination. They went south, passed by islands in Masawa, now Limasawa. They arrived on Holy Thursday. Eight people in a banka went near the flagship. They used their interpreter, Enrique de Malaca. And apparently they can understand Enrique de Malaca. They told him to give them gifts, a piece of wood with gifts on it. They took it. After about two hours, they came back in two boats with the chief. Colombo was the chief of Limasawa. Colombo went to the flagship and they got a Kasikasi or blood compact. Kasikasi or sandugo is usually considered as a Blood compact between chiefs. In order to forge alliances, chiefs had to undergo this ritual. The deeper significance is that it's a sort of kinship ritual. Enrique was sent back to the island to inform the chief that on Sunday, they would have mass. So this was now what we call the first mass. The First Easter Sunday Mass in Massawa was also attended by Raja Colombo of Massawa and his brother Raja Chiawi who was the chief of Butuan and Calagan. And there too, in that place, a cross was built in a high place. And why was a cross built? Aside from this, it's about the Christian faith. He also said that if that is a cross, you will be protected because if there are ships that can see that and if there is a cross, it means you are under the protection of the strongest king in the world. And that is the king of Spain. Of course, Rayac-Raja Colombo is now in power. So, hindi lang siya spiritual. Meron siyang political na, umbaga, purpose. Nagtanong si Magellan, where can we get a lot of supplies and foodstuff? So he was given three places. One is Ceylon and Caraga, but Cebu was the better place. So si Raja Colombo, kinakausap niya si Magellan, na pumunta kayo sa Cebu. Kasi sa Cebu, nakikipagkakala ka lang sila. So punta ngayon sila sa Cebu. So they traveled for about three days towards Cebu passing by Camotes, Baybay and all that. And they arrived here. If we look at the case in Cebu, the first time Magellan came there, April 7, 1521, they just saw Magellan, a regular trader, running around the country. So, there's no special treatment if you're European, Chinese, Indian, Arabic. So, foreigners are really used to seeing you. Cebu at the time was already a renowned market. You might say an entry-pole. It has a safe encourage and safe support. Rajahubabong was a very very powerful chieftain. Not so much because he was a warrior, but because he was a merchant. Like every Raja protecting his realm, this was an opportunity at defending his realm and even expanding it beyond the Subo of his time. Umamon was demanding from Magellan A sort of a port tax they have to pay for laying anchor in the port of Cebu. The interpreter of Humabon told Humabon, you have to be careful, these people have been notorious for their violence, so to speak, in India and other parts of Southeast Asia. You have to deal with them very, very kindly in a way, and very, very diplomatically. Tunggu maharap! On behalf of Pumabon, Kilamajelan, his son-in-law, who is also his heir, and in one of the conversations with Magellan, Magellan told the story of Christianity, the lessons, the teachings of Christ. The prince was crying. The prince was deceived and reported. Of course, what was the product of their negotiation to make Magellan proud? In the arrangement that they had, he promised that if you will be my ally, if you will be the ally of the King of Spain, we will fight all your enemies and we will make you the supreme chief. Of all these warring chiefs, they will all bow down to you with our might. And of course, if you come up, what will I do? Eventually, Humabon even accepted Christian baptism because that is another means to cement his friendship with Ferdinand Magallan, whom he believed could be used to, as I said earlier, to expand his power in the Visayan waters. 800 Cebuanos were captured and magnetized. The husband of Humabon, named after the Spanish Queen. He left it to the children in Santo Nino, that Magellan brought. He asked for it, and Magellan gave it to Santo Nino. Actually, barangay are the economic units that the children are led by. But more or less, they're independent from each other. Because they have their own passions, each city and each child. Lapulapo did not recognize Humabon. It was a voluntary call to fight Lapulapo. And in fact, when Humabon offered to have his natives fight with him, Magellan said, just watch us as we battle. So it's clear he willingly went to that battle. Lapu-Lapu, actually that's the name of the pigafetta. Si Lapu-Lapu. Narizal and some experts believe that the sea is a pitolo or a field. Eventually, we made a mess. He was the leader of Mactan. No one else mentioned him in the Pigafetta account, but he was the leader of Mactan. Magellan's supporters went to Mactan and demanded that Magellan's friendship be accepted. Before the battle of Mactan, Magellan was still a brave man. First, he only brought 49 soldiers. Second, he told the army, whatever happens, don't fight. Just watch. If we go back to Antonio de Morga's writing, the successors of the Philippines, he said that our ancestors were used to warfare. They created threats outside. The Battle of Mactana was a proof that they needed to prepare for the arrival of Europeans. They were met in Punta Inganu, which unbeknownst to Magellan has a very low tidal flat. The cannons would not reach land. So they had to go out of the boat. It was low tide. They had to wade in very low water with very heavy armor. So they were sitting ducks. And yet they reached the shoreline and they burned some of the houses. Moses on the shoreline, which angered, even angered, Lapu-Lapu and his men more. If you look, it was really used by the wise and strategy of our ancestors, the Sinamadjela. The description of Pigafetta, 1,500 of the Maktan coming from three sides. And what is this? This is the strategy of the Maklad. where you will be locked up. There are forces in front of you, but when your enemy enters, someone will light a candle, two more to lock them up. Pigafetta said, they fight for one and a half hours. 49 versus 1,500. We have to understand the fact that it wasn't actually a big battle that had always been portrayed in history. There are only about eight Spaniards who died and there were about 15 from the natives who died. So it's a small skirmish you might say. For the last 500 years, it had always been told in our textbook histories that it's the Pilapuhilma Dyanan. That's definitely not true. In the records of those who witnessed the battle, they didn't even mention where Lapu-Lapu was. Magellan was first hit on the face, then I think he was hit on the leg, but he stood his ground. I think he tried to get his sword out again, but he couldn't do that. He fell face forward, and the natives ganged up on him. We still value Lapu-Lapu under the principle of command responsibility. He was the chief tent of the Mactan of that time. The success and the success and even the failure of his campaign is always attributed to the leader. What happened to the Mactan was not a one-on-one duel between Lapu-Lapu and Magellan. This was a collective effort of the Mactan to defend their country against the Spanish's threats. Why did Magellan lose? It's simple. He thought he wouldn't lose because God was at his back. He didn't understand the system of the Filipinos here. He was influenced by what we call geopolitics. He embraced the belief that he was all-powerful. He had all the elements that would have caused a defeat. He was thinking only of the armaments that he had. He did not think of the geography, of the emotions involved. That was a lesson for the next conquerors, especially Miguel Lopez de Legazpi, that he would not make such a mistake to underestimate the people here in these islands. Tradition would say, and some records would say, that they cut off the head of Nutella. It's part of the culture of the Visayans at the time. If they admire somebody for his bravery, they generally take... They head and put it in a pole and display it to the villagers to show them that we have conquered somebody who is renowned. We don't really know what happened to Lapu-Lapu. The prestige, the respectability of Lapu-Lapu among the chieftains of the Visayas was catapulted to the heights of greatness. It's Enrique. He refused to join the expedition because after the death of Magellan in the Last Will and Testament, he needed to be released. Eduardo Barbosa, Magellan's successor to being captain general, said that until we return to Spain, you will still be in the possession of the expedition and you need to turn over to Magellan's wife. Enrique de Malaca's strategy now, according to Big Afeta, Rajahumabon was forced to kill the Prastilas. When the Spanish returned from the Battle of Mactan, the Cebuans were a bit resentful. The leaders of the Cebuans were killed. Father Valderrama He was removed from the scene. When they saw that their leaders were being killed, the Spanish who were left behind continued their liberation. They were still looking for my father. And... Juan Carvalho was the new president. Juan Carvalho ordered the ship to be removed. The ship was burned in the middle of the sea of Bohol. Only two ships remained on the expedition, the Trinidad and the Victoria. Eventually, they were sent to a part of the Andaman Sea. This is the place that Pigafetta calls Chipit. This is the Kipit in Sabuanga. Eventually, they left and headed to Palawan. Palawan has a lot of food. When they got food there, they went to Brunei. They were still lost. They met the Sultan of Brunei. They met the... Admiral of the Navy of Brunei, who was then the Prince of Luzon. So we can see here the connection between Luzon and Brunei as early as 1521. So this Prince of Luzon that they met, this is eventually the one who will become a great king in Manila. We know that the Kingdom of Tondo and Manila, they are eventually the ones who will face Miguel Lopez de Legazpi. When they came back from Borneo, they went back and forth to different places in the Sultanate of Sulu and the Sultanate of Maguindanao. For a long time, we don't mention much about our books because we always end up in the Battle of Mactan. They also visited different places in the Sultanate of Sulu and the Sultanate of Maguindanao. These places are part of the history of Daigdig and we don't get lost. So after they explored the coastline of Mindanao, Until October, they arrived in Tidor, Moluccas, in November 1521. That's when they got the records that they were looking for and gave life to many of their enemies. They only returned to Spain in September 1522. And the leader of these is Juan Sebastian de Elcano. And among those who came back to life, is Pigafetta, who will tell us about this one day. There were many different effects in the expedition of Magellan and Elcano. This is very important in the history of science. and the history of navigation. Because for a very long time, people believed that the world was flat and not round. There were many theories that came out in the 13th and 14th centuries, but no one proved that the world was round. When Magellan-Elcano Expedition was around the world, The theory that the world is round was proven by man. To be honest, the Magellan-Elcano Expedition, for many historians, is not really an important part of the history of the Philippines. If you look at what happened in 1521, Magellan arrived here, they were killed, and the story ends. But if you look at it, There is still an effect, no matter what, on what happened in 1565, what happened in 1521. Because what Magellan was doing, they were already mapping. They were already mapping the place where they would return when the time comes. to the natives of the Visayas, of Luzon, of Mindanao, the impact is more painful. It opened the way to colonization and the end of the way of life that we knew it. They not only introduced Christianity, but they introduced various other things, including their settlement patterns. Hi Even people's ordinary behavior, so that was part of their catechism. So what to do in your everyday life, what to do upon waking up, what to do in the course of your day, what to do before sleeping. You can only imagine how that would have changed a lot of their customs, traditions, and day-to-day behavior. For Christians, that's the positive impact of the circumnavigation. Another effect of the first circumnavigation is the westward route to the east. And because of this, the Philippines will become a part of what we call the galleon trade. And this part of the world trade will bring us good things like ideas, technology. That will fuel the growth of the country, the creation of the country, and the Philippine Revolution of 1896. Now, we are experiencing a reorientation and refocusing of our history, where we are returning our history to the lens of our own writers and historians. and here It's clear that our history is very rich and there are many things that are not written in our history that need to be revealed so that we can better understand ourselves and better understand the events of the past and the events of today. Some say that the importance of Lapu-Lapu should not be recognized as a country. He is a local hero. The Mactan of Cebu, because of the inspiration of our national citizens, Lapu-Lapu, it cannot be that it is not important. Because it was used to revive the people of Macabayan. We are being affected by the dangers that are coming to us. Lapu-Lapu and the Battle of Mactan were inspired by Emilio Jacinto in a poem from 1895 to remind the people of their roots that Lapu-Lapu's blood is flowing. And the very day that the Philippines declared freedom in the fight, in June 12, 1898, Lapu-Lapu and the Battle of Mactan were mentioned again. So we can see that Even though it is a limited event in Mactan, it was elevated by our citizens because it is very symbolic. In a sense, this is a reflection of an event in the past, not only of the Cebuans, not only of the Visayas, but also of the Filipinos, because this is our story. Maganda nga yung... We show it in this story of Victorian Humanity. Because we tell the whole world, if you come close to us in understanding, Filipinos will be fellow human beings in the world. And that is what we will see in how we received the help of different refugees who need salvation from their countries. Itong pagpapakilala sa Pilipino bilang isang matulungin ay napakahalaga sa sitwasyon natin ngayon, lalong-lalong na po ngayon na tayo ay nasa gitna ng pandemia. Marahil ito ang sikreto o dahilan kung bakit ang ating mga medical workers ay hinahanap at pilit iniimbita na manilbian sa ibang bansa. Oh

They not only introduced Christianity, but they introduced various other things, including their settlement patterns. That was part of their catechism. You can only imagine how that would have changed a lot of their customs, traditions, and day-to-day behavior. Before this expedition, people thought that the world was round by theory. So this journey was a test of people's capacity.

The 15th Centennial we are celebrating this year will also use our passion to introduce our elders. Now, we are having a reorientation and refocusing of our history where we are returning our history to the lens or vista of our own writers and historians. We need to understand that in the time of Europe, during the time of the Galician period, the Age of Exploration, they had a system called Mercantilism.

When you say mercantilism, the wealth of their country is based on how much gold they have. If there are products that can be added to gold, it is very important for the country to prosper. And...

So to be able to reach that part of the world, they needed to go to the Portuguese waters. Because they were fighting for the territory of Portugal, Spain decided to find an alternative route to Moluccas.

This is now part of Indonesia, in the southern part of Mindanao. The two countries that were allies in the Treaty of Tordesillas were in a conflict and were sanctioned by the Holy Father in Rome. They are going to divide the world.

The division is the places in the north, that will be the places of Portugal. The places in the south, especially in South America, will go to Spain. Magellan has a sense of adventure. He believes in the scientific experts who said that the world is round.

They went down to Komunhon Island. They were really tired of what they were feeling. If our ancestors didn't feed them, The ones who died...

The first time in a long time, we are not talking about the first circumnavigation of the world. The achievement of science and of the human body.

So punta ngayon sila sa Cebu. So they traveled for about three days towards Cebu passing by Camotes, Baybay and all that. And they arrived here.

Eventually, Humabon even accepted Christian baptism because that is another means to cement his friendship with Ferdinand Magallan, whom he believed could be used to, as I said earlier, to expand his power in the Visayan waters. 800 Cebuanos were captured and magnetized.

The husband of Humabon, named after the Spanish Queen. He left it to the children in Santo Nino, that Magellan brought. He asked for it, and Magellan gave it to Santo Nino. Actually, barangay are the economic units that the children are led by.

But more or less, they're independent from each other. Because they have their own passions, each city and each child. Lapulapo did not recognize Humabon. It was a voluntary call to fight Lapulapo. And in fact, when Humabon offered to have his natives fight with him, Magellan said, just watch us as we battle.

So it's clear he willingly went to that battle. Lapu-Lapu, actually that's the name of the pigafetta. Si Lapu-Lapu. Narizal and some experts believe that the sea is a pitolo or a field. Eventually, we made a mess.

He was the leader of Mactan. No one else mentioned him in the Pigafetta account, but he was the leader of Mactan. Magellan's supporters went to Mactan and demanded that Magellan's friendship be accepted.

Before the battle of Mactan, Magellan was still a brave man. First, he only brought 49 soldiers. Second, he told the army, whatever happens, don't fight. Just watch.

If we go back to Antonio de Morga's writing, the successors of the Philippines, he said that our ancestors were used to warfare. They created threats outside. The Battle of Mactana was a proof that they needed to prepare for the arrival of Europeans.

They were met in Punta Inganu, which unbeknownst to Magellan has a very low tidal flat. The cannons would not reach land. So they had to go out of the boat.

It was low tide. They had to wade in very low water with very heavy armor. So they were sitting ducks.

And yet they reached the shoreline and they burned some of the houses. Moses on the shoreline, which angered, even angered, Lapu-Lapu and his men more. If you look, it was really used by the wise and strategy of our ancestors, the Sinamadjela. The description of Pigafetta, 1,500 of the Maktan coming from three sides. And what is this?

This is the strategy of the Maklad. where you will be locked up. There are forces in front of you, but when your enemy enters, someone will light a candle, two more to lock them up.

Pigafetta said, they fight for one and a half hours. 49 versus 1,500. We have to understand the fact that it wasn't actually a big battle that had always been portrayed in history. There are only about eight Spaniards who died and there were about 15 from the natives who died. So it's a small skirmish you might say.

For the last 500 years, it had always been told in our textbook histories that it's the Pilapuhilma Dyanan. That's definitely not true. In the records of those who witnessed the battle, they didn't even mention where Lapu-Lapu was.

Magellan was first hit on the face, then I think he was hit on the leg, but he stood his ground. I think he tried to get his sword out again, but he couldn't do that. He fell face forward, and the natives ganged up on him.

We still value Lapu-Lapu under the principle of command responsibility. He was the chief tent of the Mactan of that time. The success and the success and even the failure of his campaign is always attributed to the leader. What happened to the Mactan was not a one-on-one duel between Lapu-Lapu and Magellan. This was a collective effort of the Mactan to defend their country against the Spanish's threats.

Why did Magellan lose? It's simple. He thought he wouldn't lose because God was at his back. He didn't understand the system of the Filipinos here. He was influenced by what we call geopolitics.

He embraced the belief that he was all-powerful. He had all the elements that would have caused a defeat. He was thinking only of the armaments that he had. He did not think of the geography, of the emotions involved.

That was a lesson for the next conquerors, especially Miguel Lopez de Legazpi, that he would not make such a mistake to underestimate the people here in these islands. Tradition would say, and some records would say, that they cut off the head of Nutella. It's part of the culture of the Visayans at the time.

If they admire somebody for his bravery, they generally take... They head and put it in a pole and display it to the villagers to show them that we have conquered somebody who is renowned. We don't really know what happened to Lapu-Lapu.

The prestige, the respectability of Lapu-Lapu among the chieftains of the Visayas was catapulted to the heights of greatness. It's Enrique. He refused to join the expedition because after the death of Magellan in the Last Will and Testament, he needed to be released.

Eduardo Barbosa, Magellan's successor to being captain general, said that until we return to Spain, you will still be in the possession of the expedition and you need to turn over to Magellan's wife. Enrique de Malaca's strategy now, according to Big Afeta, Rajahumabon was forced to kill the Prastilas. When the Spanish returned from the Battle of Mactan, the Cebuans were a bit resentful. The leaders of the Cebuans were killed.

Father Valderrama He was removed from the scene. When they saw that their leaders were being killed, the Spanish who were left behind continued their liberation. They were still looking for my father.

And... Juan Carvalho was the new president. Juan Carvalho ordered the ship to be removed.

The ship was burned in the middle of the sea of Bohol. Only two ships remained on the expedition, the Trinidad and the Victoria. Eventually, they were sent to a part of the Andaman Sea.

This is the place that Pigafetta calls Chipit. This is the Kipit in Sabuanga. Eventually, they left and headed to Palawan. Palawan has a lot of food.

When they got food there, they went to Brunei. They were still lost. They met the Sultan of Brunei.

They met the... Admiral of the Navy of Brunei, who was then the Prince of Luzon. So we can see here the connection between Luzon and Brunei as early as 1521. So this Prince of Luzon that they met, this is eventually the one who will become a great king in Manila.

We know that the Kingdom of Tondo and Manila, they are eventually the ones who will face Miguel Lopez de Legazpi. When they came back from Borneo, they went back and forth to different places in the Sultanate of Sulu and the Sultanate of Maguindanao. For a long time, we don't mention much about our books because we always end up in the Battle of Mactan.

They also visited different places in the Sultanate of Sulu and the Sultanate of Maguindanao. These places are part of the history of Daigdig and we don't get lost. So after they explored the coastline of Mindanao, Until October, they arrived in Tidor, Moluccas, in November 1521. That's when they got the records that they were looking for and gave life to many of their enemies.

They only returned to Spain in September 1522. And the leader of these is Juan Sebastian de Elcano. And among those who came back to life, is Pigafetta, who will tell us about this one day. There were many different effects in the expedition of Magellan and Elcano.

This is very important in the history of science. and the history of navigation. Because for a very long time, people believed that the world was flat and not round. There were many theories that came out in the 13th and 14th centuries, but no one proved that the world was round.

When Magellan-Elcano Expedition was around the world, The theory that the world is round was proven by man. To be honest, the Magellan-Elcano Expedition, for many historians, is not really an important part of the history of the Philippines. If you look at what happened in 1521, Magellan arrived here, they were killed, and the story ends. But if you look at it, There is still an effect, no matter what, on what happened in 1565, what happened in 1521. Because what Magellan was doing, they were already mapping.

They were already mapping the place where they would return when the time comes. to the natives of the Visayas, of Luzon, of Mindanao, the impact is more painful. It opened the way to colonization and the end of the way of life that we knew it.

They not only introduced Christianity, but they introduced various other things, including their settlement patterns. Hi Even people's ordinary behavior, so that was part of their catechism. So what to do in your everyday life, what to do upon waking up, what to do in the course of your day, what to do before sleeping. You can only imagine how that would have changed a lot of their customs, traditions, and day-to-day behavior.

For Christians, that's the positive impact of the circumnavigation. Another effect of the first circumnavigation is the westward route to the east. And because of this, the Philippines will become a part of what we call the galleon trade. And this part of the world trade will bring us good things like ideas, technology.

That will fuel the growth of the country, the creation of the country, and the Philippine Revolution of 1896. Now, we are experiencing a reorientation and refocusing of our history, where we are returning our history to the lens of our own writers and historians. and here It's clear that our history is very rich and there are many things that are not written in our history that need to be revealed so that we can better understand ourselves and better understand the events of the past and the events of today. Some say that the importance of Lapu-Lapu should not be recognized as a country. He is a local hero. The Mactan of Cebu, because of the inspiration of our national citizens, Lapu-Lapu, it cannot be that it is not important.

Because it was used to revive the people of Macabayan. We are being affected by the dangers that are coming to us. Lapu-Lapu and the Battle of Mactan were inspired by Emilio Jacinto in a poem from 1895 to remind the people of their roots that Lapu-Lapu's blood is flowing. And the very day that the Philippines declared freedom in the fight, in June 12, 1898, Lapu-Lapu and the Battle of Mactan were mentioned again. So we can see that Even though it is a limited event in Mactan, it was elevated by our citizens because it is very symbolic.

In a sense, this is a reflection of an event in the past, not only of the Cebuans, not only of the Visayas, but also of the Filipinos, because this is our story. Maganda nga yung... We show it in this story of Victorian Humanity. Because we tell the whole world, if you come close to us in understanding, Filipinos will be fellow human beings in the world.

And that is what we will see in how we received the help of different refugees who need salvation from their countries. Itong pagpapakilala sa Pilipino bilang isang matulungin ay napakahalaga sa sitwasyon natin ngayon, lalong-lalong na po ngayon na tayo ay nasa gitna ng pandemia. Marahil ito ang sikreto o dahilan kung bakit ang ating mga medical workers ay hinahanap at pilit iniimbita na manilbian sa ibang bansa. Oh
