    Brief Summary of the first voyage around the world.

    On September 8,1519. The first voyage has been made by the crew
    of Virtoria cast anchor that is the first ship circumnavigation around
    the world.

    Antonio Pigafetta - is an Italian nobleman who accompanied


    Ferdinand Magellan in his circumnavigation of the world. Pigafetta’s
    work instantly became a classic.

    Pigafetta travelogue is one of the most important primary sources in


    the study of pre-colonial Philippines.

    Ladrones Islands or “Islands of the Thief”, is presently known as the


    Marianas Islands

    While Pigafetta recounted that after two days, nine men came to
    them and showed joy and eagerness in seeing them.

    Pigafetta characterized the people as “very familiar and friendly”

    The fleet went to Humunu islands (homonhon) and there they found
    what Pigafetta referred to as the “Watering Place of Good Signs”.

    The king of ballanghai exchaged gifts to Magellan the then expressed


    their desire to become brothers.

    Magellan was introduced to the king’s brother who was also a king
    to another island the name of the 1st king was Raia Siagu and the 2nd
    is Raia Calambu

    March 31st, 1521 which happened to be easter Sunday magellan


    ordered the chaplain to preside a Mass by the shore. So called the
    First Mass of Philippines.
    Magellan move and look for islands where they could acquire more
    supplies and provisions.

    Raia calambu offered to pilot them in going to cebu, the largest and
    the richest of the islands.

    April 7th same year, Magellan and his men reached the port of Cebu.
    The king of Cebu demanded to pay tribute as it was customary but
    Magellan refused.

    In an open space. There, the king offered a bit of his blood and
    demanded that Magellan do the same.

    As Magellan spoke before the people of Cebu about peace and God.
    Some of the men were overjoyed seeing that the people wished to
    become Christian.

    On April 14th Magellan spoke to the king encouraged him to be a


    good Christian by burning all of the idols and worship the cross
    instead.

    After Eight days All of the island’s inhabitant were already baptized.

    Pigafetta recorded that the man who was sick was able to speak
    again. He called this a miracle

    On the 26th of April, Zula, a principal man from the island of Matan
    (Mactan)went to see Magellan and asked him for a boat full of men
    so that he would be able to fight the chief named Silapulapu (Lapu-
    Lapu).
    Magellan’s forces arrived in Mactan in daylight. They numbered 49 in
    total while the islander of Mactan estimated by 1500 then the battle
    began

    As the Battle began Magellan died in that battle, as the natives


    perceiving that the bodies of the enemies were protected with
    armors, aimed for their legs instead Magellan was pierced with a
    poisoned arrow in his right leg.

    Magellan was specifically targeted because the natives knew that he


    was the captain general

    As the last moment of Magellan Pigafetta also said that the king of
    Cebu who was baptized could sent help but Magellan instructed him
    not to join the battle.

    After the battle has ended The king offered the people of Mactan
    gifts or any value and amounts in exchange of Magellan’s Body but
    the chief refused. They wanted to keep Magellan’s body as a
    memento of their victory

    After Magellan died his men elected Duarte Barbosa as the new
    captain. Pigafetta also told how Magellan’s slave and interpreter
    named Henry betrayed them.

    The king of cebu invited the 24 men but Pigafetta can’t join because
    he was nursing his battle wounds.

    It was only short time when they heard cries and lamentations.

    The natives had slain all except Juan serrano who was already
    wounded.
