    Content Presentation an
    Analysis
     The kind of document that Pigafetta made
    is a manuscript or journal.
     It is the most cited document by historians
    who wished to study the pre-colonial
    society.
     Pigafetta's account was considered as the
    "purest" in pre-colonial society.
    IMPORTANT PARTS OF THE DOCUMENT
    THAT WE NEED TO KNOW
     Description of Pigafetta to the natives.
     He always mentions how the natives welcome them.
     Pigafetta emphasized the nakedness of the natives
    "They have many wives as they wish
    but one of them is the principal wife"

    "When they saw the captain's


    courtesy, they presented fish, a jar of
    palm wine which they called uruca".
    "Before we left, the king kissed
    our hands with great joy".
    "They have very black hair
    that falls to the waist and use
    daggers, knives and spears
    ornamented with golds". "He
    wore two gold earrings and
    many gold armlets on their
    arms".
    “The captain told them that God
    made the sky, the earth, the sea, and
    everything else, and that He had
    commanded us to honor our fathers
    and mothers, and that whoever did
    otherwise was condemned to eternal
    fire; that we are all descended from
    Adam and Eva, our first parents; that
    we have an immortal spirit; and
    many other things pertaining to the
    faith”.
    "And to say that they would be more satisfied
    with us, for he (and his men) had come to the
    island as friends and not enemy".
    "The king told him that he was welcome but
    that it was their custom for all ships that
    entered their forts had to pay a tribute". "The
    interpreter told the king that since his master
    was the captain of such a great king he did
    not pay tribute to any seignior in the world.
    "The captain told them that if they
    wished to become Christians, they
    must burn all their idols and set up a
    cross in their places".

    "Then our captain had all the chiefs


    of the king called, and told them that
    unless they obeyed the king, he
    would have then killed and would
    give their possessions to the king".
    “He requested the captain-general to
    send him only one boatload”, “The
    captain-general decided to go with
    either three boatloads”.
    “Then, trying to lay hands on a sword,
    he could draw it out but halfway,
    because he had been wounded in the
    arm with a bamboo spear”.
    IV. Contribution and Relevance of the
    Document in Understanding the Grand
    Narrative of Philippine History:
     It enables historians to gain insight into the
    perspectives and experiences between European
    travelers and the natives of the Philippines.
    The account is also of historical significance
    since it sheds light on the earliest interactions
    between the Europeans and Filipinos.
    The story also provided a visual depiction of
    the country Philippines at that time: the scenery,
    the Philippine people's clothing/customs, and
    even a description of the inhabitants of the
    Philippine islands in the 16th century.
    ● The account is a valuable cultural heritage resource, letting modern-day
    Filipinos have a relationship with their ancient ancestors and learn
    about the Philippines' unique cultural legacy.
    ● It aids in maintaining and developing cultural identity and dignity.
    ● The account offers proof that the world is not flat, which at the time
    disproved their theory.
    ● The world's geography and cartography have been altered and have
    been used until now.
    ● Antonio Pigaffeta's account may also be utilized as a teaching tool to
    inform students regarding the earliest meetings between Europeans
    and Filipinos and the Philippines' historical setting.
    ● It promotes historical understanding among younger individuals by
    developing an appreciation of the nation's fascinating past.
