2.What is your personal evaluation on the impact of the document in the understanding of the 16th century people and their culture in the islands?

Antonio Pigaffeta makes a travelogue in which he writes down each of his observations on the different islands they have visited and what they do there and what happens to those they travel to
and who they meet. in each of those places.

From different islands their have various perspectives, characteristics, beliefs, locations, and cultures of each island.

(The Ladrones Islands)

Is presently known as the Mariaas Islands. These islands are located south-southesat of Japan, west-southwest of Hawaii, north of New Guinea, and east of Philippines. He called Ladrones Islands or
the “Islands of the Thieves.”

“These people have no arms, but use sticks, which have a fish bone at the end.
They are poor, but ingenious, and great thieves,
and for the sake of that we called these three islands the Ladrones Islands.”

(The Humunu Island)

It is in his place where Pigafetta write that they found the first signs of gold in the island.
The fleet went to Humunu Island (Homonhon) and there they found what Pigafetta referred to as the

“Watering Place of Good Signs.”

(The archipelago of St. Lazarus)

Is the nearby island in Humunu island. Additional to this are they have a different king.
This king was named Raia Calambu, king of Zuluan and Calagan (Butuan and Caragua).

“...when the offertory of the mass came, the two kings, went to kiss the cross like us, but they offered nothing,
and at the elevation of the body of our Lord they were kneeling like us and adored our Lord with joined hands.”

(The Island of Zzubu)

the largest and the richest of the islands between Ceylon (Leyte) and Bohol.

“Then the king said that he was content, and as a greater sign of affection he sent him a little of his blood from his right arm and wished he should do the like.
Our people answered that he would do it. Besides that, he said that all the captains who came to his country had been accustomed to make a present to him, and he to them, and therefore they
should ask their captain if he would observe the custom. Our people answer that he would; but as king wished to keep up the custom, let him begin and make a present, and then the captain would
do his duty.

(The Island of Matan)

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 (Lapulapu. Such chief,
according to Zula, refused to obey the king and was also preventing im from doing so. 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. A few of their men charged at the natives and tried to intimidate them by burning the entire village but this only enraged the natives further.
Magellan was specifical ly targeted because the natives knew that he was the captain general.

“Whilst the Indians were thus overpowering him, several times he turned around towards us to see if we were all in safety,
as though his obstinate fight had no object than to give opportunity for the retreat of his men.”

2. According to Jacinto, who were qualified to join the secret society?

 A nation is born into freedom on the day when such a people, moulded into a nation by a process of cultural evolution and sense of oneness born of common struggle and
suffering, announces to the world that it asserts its natural right to liberty and is ready to defend it with blood, life, and honor."

disciplined and follow what is given to them.
Changing Filipino’s attitudes by renouncing any bad
habits and following the rules made by the authority
helped us to become a better citizen.
It is also very important to us, modern Filipinos to
