Kontekstong Historikal

 Noong ikalabing-anim na siglo (16th Century ), nakatuklas ang


mga Europeo ng mga pampalasang sangkap, rekado at iba
pang mga kalakal mula sa Asya. Ito ang dahilan upang
maglakbay ang mga Europeo papunta sa Asya at iba pang panig
ng mga daigdg.

 Noong 1493 – namagitan ang Santo Papa na si Alexander VI sa


tunggalian ng Portugal at Espanya sapagkat ang mga ito ay
kapwa Katoliko at hindi aniya gawain ito ng isang katoliko.
Tinawag itong inter caetera, kung saan layon nito na hahatiin
ang daigdig sa dalawa - ang kanluran (Espanya) at silangan
(Portugal).
 Si Ferdinand Magellan, isang Portuges, ay isang bihasang
manlalayag sa ilalim ng imperyo ng Portugal. Pinondohan ang
kanyang paglalakbay ng hari noon ng Espanya, si Carlos I, noong
Setyembre 20, 1519, sakay ng limang barko at kasama ang
humigit-kumulang 270 mga katao.

Background About Antonio Pigafetta
 An Italian nobleman from a rich family
 A scholar of cartography and geography
 A chronicler commissioned by the King of Spain to
accompany and document a voyage
 Excerpts from the Pigafetta’s account

 March 16, 1521 (at dawn on Saturday) - we came upon a high


land at a distance of three hundred leagues from the island of
Ladroni –an island named Zamal [i.e Samar].

In his account, their fleet reached what he called the 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 Ladrones Island is presently known as the Marianas Islands.


 Excerpts from the Pigafetta’s account

 March 17, 1521 (the following day) – the captain-general desired to land on
another island which was uninhabited and lay to the right side of the above-
mentioned island, to be more secure and to get water and some rest.

 March 18, 1521 (on Monday afternoon) , we saw a boat coming toward us
with nine men in it.

These men came to them and showed joy and eagerness in seeing them.
Magellan and group gave them food, drinks and gifts. In turn the natives
gave them fish, palm wine and two cochos or coconut. Pigafetta
characterized the people as “very friendly and friendly” and willingly
showed them different islands.
Excerpts from the Pigafetta’s account

 The island where we were is called Humunu; (now Homonhon)


but inasmuch as we found two spring there of the clearest water,
we called Acquada da li buoni Segnialli [i.e.”The watering-place
of good Signs] for there were the first signs of gold which we
found in those district. There are many islands in that district,
and therefore we called them the Archipelago of San Lazaro.

 March 22, 1521 (noon on Friday) those men came as they had
promised us in two boats with coconuts, sweet oranges, a jar of
palm-wine and a cock, in order to show us that there were fowls
in that district. Their seignior was an old man who was painted
[i.e., tattoed]. He wore two gold earrings [schione] in his ears,
and the others many gold armlets on their arms and kerchief
about [on] their heads. We stayed there one week.
Excerpts from the Pigafetta’s account

 There are people living near the island who have holes [earrings] in their
ears so large that they can pass their arms through them. 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 needle. They are dark, fat and painted. They have very
black hair that falls to the waist, and use daggers, knives, and spears
ornamented.

 March 23, 1521 (next day, holy Friday), the captain-general


sent his slave, who acted as our interpreter, ashore in a small
boat to ask the king if he had any food to have it carried to
the ships; The king came with six or eight men in the same
boat and entered the ship. Then the captain-general had a
collation spread for them, and had the king told through the
slave that he desired to be casi casi with him.
Excerpts from the Pigafetta’s account

 March 25 – Pigafetta recounted that they saw 2 ballanghai


(balangay), a long boat full of people in Mazzava/ Mazaua.
According to him, the leader or king of the ballanghai sent his men
to the ship of Magellan and the European gave them gifts.

 After few days, Magellan was introduced to the king’s brother who
was also a king of another island. This king was named Raia
Calambu, the king of Zuluan and Calagan (Butuan and Caragua),
and the first king was Raia Siagu.
 “He wore a cotton cloth all embroidered with silk, which covered him
from waist to knees. At his side hung a dagger, the haft of which was
somewhat long and all of gold, and its scabbard of carved wood. He had
three spots of gold on every tooth, and his teeth appeared as if
bound with gold. He was tawny and painted [i.e., tattooed] all over.
When those kings wished to see one another, they both went to hunt in
that island where we were.”
Excerpts from the Pigafetta’s account

 Those people were heathens, and go naked and painted. They


wear a piece of cloth woven from a tree about their privies. They
are heavy drinkers. Their women are clad in tree cloth from
their waist down, and their hair is black and reaches to the
ground. They have holes pierced in their ears which are filled
with gold. These people are constantly chewing a fruit which they
call areca, and resembles a pear. Their houses our constructed
of wood and are built of planks and bamboo, raised high from the
ground on large logs, and one must enter them by means of
ladders.
This place according to Pigafetta lies in a latitude of nine and two
thirds degree toward the Arctic Pole, and in a longitude of one
hundred and sixty-two degrees from the line of demarcation. It is
twenty-five [leagues] from the Acquada, and is called Mazaua
[Limasawa].
Excerpts from the Pigafetta’s account

 March 31 – which happened to be Easter Sunday , Magellan


ordered the chaplain to preside a Mass by the shore. The king
heard of this plan and sent two dead pigs and attended the mass
with the other king.

“….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”
 After the mass, Magellan ordered that the cross would be brought
with nails and crown on place – these were the signs of his
emperor and that he was ordered to plant it in the places that he
would reach. This mass was considered as the First Mass in the
Philippines.
Excerpts from the Pigafetta’s account

 After seven (7) days, Magellan’s group decided to move to other


islands where they could get more foods and provisions. They
learned of the islands of Ceylon (Leyte), Bohol, and Zubu (Cebu)
and intended to go there. King Raia Calambu offered to pilot them
going to the largest and richest island, Cebu by April 7.

 The King of Cebu (Rajah Humabon) demanded that they pay


tribute as it was customary, but Magellan refused, as he was
claiming that he was a captain of a king himself. Messages were
translated by Magellan’s interpreter. The following day, both parties
together with the other principal men of Cebu, met in an open
space. There, the king offered a bit of his blood and demanded that
Magellan do the same.
Excerpts from the Pigafetta’s account

 Pigafetta recounts:

“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
answered that he would; but as the king wished to keep up the custom,
let him begin and make the present, and then the captain would do his
duty.”
Excerpts from the Pigafetta’s account

 The following day, Magellan spoke before the people of Cebu about
peace and God. Pigafetta reported that the people took pleasure in
Magellan’s speech. He also wrote that their men were over enjoyed
seeing that the people wished to become Christians through their
free will and not because they were forced or intimidated.

 April 14 – the people gathered with the king and other principal men
of the islands. Magellan spoke to the king and encouraged him to
be a good Christian by burning all of the idols and worship the
cross instead. The king of Cebu was then baptized as Christian.
Excerpts from the Pigafetta’s account

 After eight (8) days, Pigafetta counted that all of the island’s
inhabitant were already baptized. He admitted that they
burned a village down for obeying neither the king nor
Magellan.

 When the queen came to the Mass , Magellan gave her an


image of the Infant Jesus made by Pigafetta himself. One
moment, Magellan and group went to the sick man and
baptized him. After the baptismal, Pigafetta recorded that the
man was able to speak again. He called this a miracle.
Excerpts from the Pigafetta’s account

 April 26 – at 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 Cilapulapu
(Lapulapu). Such chief refused to obey the king and was also
preventing him from doing so, according to Zula. Magellan granted
him and even offered three (3) boats with a total of 49 men
including the principal and Magellan, while the islanders of Mactan
were estimated to 1,500.
 In this encounter, Magellan died. He was pierced with a
poisoned arrow in his right leg. Their men tried to intimidate
them by burning an entire village that enraged the natives
further. Magellan was specifically targeted because he was
known as the captain general. One native with a great
sword delivered a blow on Magellan’s left leg, brought him
face down and the natives ceaselessly attacked him.
 
Pigafetta recounted the last moments of Magellan:
 
“Whilst the Indians were thus overpowering him, several times
he turned round towards us to see if we were all in safety, as
though his obstinate fight had no other object than to give an
opportunity for the retreat of his men”
 Pigafetta also said that the king of Cebu could have sent help but
Magellan instructed him not to join the battle and stay in the
balangay so that he would say how they fought. The king offered
the people of Mactan gifts of any value in exchange of Magellan’s
body but the chef refused because they would like to keep
Magellan’s body as memento of their victory.

 Magellan’s men elected Duarte Barbosa as the new captain.


Pigafetta also told how Magellan’s slave and interpreter named
Henry betrayed them and told the king of Cebu that they intended
to leave as quickly as possible.
