2. What are the contributions of the document in understanding the grand narrative in
Philippine History?
The Spaniards wanted to expand Spanish territory, find new lands, spices, and gold and spread
Christianity. So, starting in the early 1600s, Spanish missionaries and immigrants brought
Christianity to the Philippine Islands. It arrived at Homonhon Island in Samar on March 16,
1521. Also, Ferdinand Magellan first met Filipinos on Limasawa, a small island near Leyte in the
Philippines' east-central region. The Philippines held the first Roman Catholic mass. On April
14, 1521, the expedition's chaplain, Fr. Pedro Valderama, baptized the country. On that day,
Rajah Humabon and his wife Hara Humamay were baptized. The first Filipino Christians were
Humabon and Humamay, named after Carlos and Juana. Finally, the Battle of Mactan was
fought on April 27, 1521. Lapulapu warriors defeated a Spanish force fighting for Cebu's Rajah
Humabon, led by Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan, killed in the battle.

3. What is relevance of the document to the world and to the Philippines?

Ferdinand Magellan used the Magellan Route on his first circumnavigation. It crosses all
significant oceans and continents in both hemispheres, making it a global route. Ferrando
Magellan, an extraordinary navigator-sailor, organized and led this voyage. He discovered a new
ocean (the Pacific) and a strait connecting the Atlantic and Pacific. Until the Panama Canal was
built in the twentieth century, this was the only way for ships to connect the East and West by
sea. His voyage also paved the way for Pacific trade between the New World and the Far East.
His discoveries paved the way for more discoveries. The trip itself, its historical context, and its
implications on the development of numerous civilizations all show the universal route's
significant contribution to human history. It also captures the Natives' way of life before Spanish
colonization. Pigafetta claims they saw locals arriving in boats in the Philippines and noticed
even the slaves and boat rowers wore gold (Levinson, 2001). Finally, Antonio Pigafetta's records
help people understand the Philippines' cultures, crops, and traditions.

"commander in chief" when it came to waging local
wars and forging alliances with other datus or
