The coming of Magellan to the Philippines was not an
accident. He really planned and wanted to find the
Philippines because he heard that it was a very rich land.

Ferdinand Magellan, a Portuguese explorer, asked the

Portuguese king, King Manuel, to finance a project to sail to
the Philippines. But the king only laughed at Magellan and
told him to go away.

DISCOVERY OF THE PHILIPPINES
◈ Westerners trumpeted(proclaimed) Magellan’s Landing in

◈ At the first place the country is not lost, in short they

never discovered the country

Why did spain advertise its
landing in the Philippines?

It had to do this in order to keep away the other

rival European powers from grabbing it’s new
colony

It was like a race for them, whoever got to the

place first could plant their nation’s flag, and 12

claim that land for their king.
