Excerpt from the Document
.
- Magellan was an explorer
serving the King of Portugal,
however, he was accused with
illegal trading. The King of
Portugal rejected his proposal to
have an expedition to Spice
Island. So, Magellan came to
the King of Spain (the
competitor of Portugal) and the
King of Spain allowed the
expedition of Magellan.
• A Portuguese but carrying the
flag of Spain in the expedition.
The expedition was intended to
circumnavigate the earth in the
service of Spain. Accompanying
Magellan were Fr. Pedro de
Valderrama (fleet chaplain), Antonio
Pigafetta (chronicler of the
expedition), Duarte Barbosa, and his
Malay slave Enrique of Malacca
(acting as interpreter).

who was painted [i.e., tattooed].
He wore two gold earrings
[schione] in his ears, and the
other many golds armlets on
their arm and kerchiefs about
[on] their heads. Those people
are caphri, that is to say,
heathen.”
 “They go naked, with a soft cloth woven
from the bark of a tree about their privies,
except some of the chiefs who wear cotton
cloth embroidered with silk at the ends by
means of a needle. They are dark, fat, and
painted. They anoint themselves with
cocoanut and with beneseed oil, as a
protection against the sun and wind. They
have very black hair that falls to the waist,
and use daggers, knives, and fishing nets
and their boats are [just] like ours.”

given to her.
• Magellan fervently believed that his men were so

superior to the natives that he allowed 49 of his crew to
face off against a force of 1,500 enraged natives. He was
so confident that he refused the help of his allies.
Pigafetta writes: “The Christian king [Humabon] would
have aided us,” wrote Pigafetta, “but the captain told him
before we landed, not to leave his balaghai, but to stay to
see how we fought.”
Magellan sent a message to the natives saying that if they still
refused to recognize the Spanish king and pay them tribute,
they would demonstrate how effective their swords were at
wounding people.
When the sun rose, Magellan, including his crew of 49 (11
remained on the ship) witnessed how the natives were highly
organized at warfare: “When we reached land, those men had
formed in three divisions to the number of more than one
thousand five hundred persons. When they saw us, they
charged down upon us with exceeding loud cries, two divisions
on our flanks and the other on our front,” wrote Pigafetta.
Realizing that they were no match for the natives they so
underestimated, Magellan became desperate, so he ordered some
of his crew to distract the natives by burning their houses.
“ It was not Lapu-Lapu who slayed Ferdinand Magellan, but many

natives—probably battle-hardened, evidenced by their proficiency
with spears and very large bolos. This was something that Magellan
and his company did not expect.
“Recognizing the captain, so many turned upon him that they
knocked his helmet off his head twice, but he always stood firmly
like a good knight, together with some others. Thus, did we fight for
more than one hour, refusing to retire farther.”
“One of them wounded him on the
left leg with a large cutlass, which
resembles a scimitar, only being
larger. That caused the captain to
fall face downward, when
immediately they rushed upon him
with iron and bamboo spears and
with their cutlasses, until they killed
our mirror, our light, our comfort,
and our true guide.”
I have a Question!
1.Knowledge Development
- The First Circumnavigation of Magellan and
his crews contributed to geographical and
astronomical knowledge. It confirmed the
roundness of the Earth’s surface. Hence, it
also created a more accurate geographical
description of different places as most of the
places that were part of the route became
well-known and documented.
THE
SIGNIFICANCE
2. Cultural Tolerance
It contributed significantly to multiculturalism. The
circumnavigation showed the diversity of the
people, their culture, traditions, and practices. As
such, people became aware of their differences
and developed an understanding of cultural
diversity. Significantly, for example, the
documentation of the voyage by Pigaffeta
presented valuable insights into the culture,
tradition, and way of life of the Early Filipinos.
THE
SIGNIFICANCE
3. Flourished Economic Process
The voyage enabled the connection between
the East and West to flourish. With the route
used by the voyage, global and economic
trade became global. In so, goods and
services became available internationally for
people until the present.
