Outlines
π’ Ferdinand Magellan's Expedition
King Charles of Spain approved Ferdinand Magellan's proposal for a grand sea expedition. Magellan, aboard the Trinidad, led a fleet of five galleon ships to find the Spice Islands. The journey was fraught with hardships, including rationed food and water, leading to low morale among the crew. Despite facing an uprising among some of the ship commanders, Magellan remained committed to his quest. After enduring the treacherous Strait of Magellan, the fleet entered the Pacific Ocean, which Magellan named 'Mar Pacifico' due to its calmness. The journey continued with stops at Guam and the Philippine Archipelago, where Magellan and his crew were welcomed warmly by the local tribes.
π° Spreading Christianity and the Battle of Mactan
Upon reaching Cebu, Magellan introduced Christianity to the local chief, Raha Humabun, and his people, leading to their conversion and baptism. This marked the beginning of Christianity in Cebu. Magellan's cross was planted on March 17, 1521, symbolizing the triumph of the new faith. Magellan then sought to extend Christianity to nearby islands, including Mactan. However, Datu Lapulapu of Mactan resisted, leading to the Battle of Mactan on April 27, 1521. Despite Magellan's superior weaponry, he was killed in the battle by a poisoned arrow. Only the Victoria returned to Spain in September 1522, carrying spices and marking the end of Magellan's life but the beginning of a new era in European exploration and the spread of Christianity in the Philippines.

the pacific island of guam in march 1521
where they finally got some food and
refilled their food storage
magellan's fleet then sailed onto the
philippine archipelago
and landed on cebu
[Music]
and his wife together with tribes
native locals leaving there warmly
welcomed the arrival of ferdinand
magellan
together with a ship cruise ferdinand
magellan was very glad about the warm
welcome and hospitality
shown to them by raha human and his wife
together with the local natives of cebu
so as a gesture of understanding and
friendship
magellan introduced christianity and
convinced the native locals to convert
to christianity
this binding agreement of understanding
between magellan
and raha humabun was sealed off
raha human along with his wife was
baptized
with a testimonial acceptance to
christianity
and the rest of rahu native followers
but this event marked the birth of
christianity
in cebu in addition
it was on march 17 1521
when magellan planted the famous
magellan's cross
in the presence of natives of cebu with
some portuguese and spanish soldiers
which symbolizes a sign of triumph over
the birth of christianity
in cebu however magellan also wanted to
spread christianity
to other neighboring islands of cebu
so he asked raha human's help to spread
christianity
unfortunately datu lapulapu
of mactan island disagreed to rahul
mabun's appeal
and took a hard stand against paying
homage to the king of spain
and so the rivalry between the local
chieftain
arose rahu humabon
then asked magellan's help to fight
against the chieftain of maktan island
datu la pulapu and the fighting warriors
of datu-lapu-lapu
knowing magellan's supremacy in terms of
firepower
and other fighting arsenal was an
advantage to their victory
this was because raha humabon wanted to
cut the leadership
power and strong dominance of
datu-lapu-lapu
over the island of maktan and on the day
of april
27 1521
the battle of maktan erupted
ferdinand magellan using the european
weaponry at the time
bombarded the village of datu lapolapo
that burned the village houses causing
the villagers to run
and scamper for safety these triggered
more
anger and hatred among the fighting
warriors of datu lapu-lapu
against the foreign invaders with
burning
anger in their hearts to what happened
to their village houses
and to their family and loved ones
scampering around
crying and champering around
the battle of maktan started
we'd lapualapu's fighting warriors
compelent
polos spears boughs and arrows
doze with poison and its tip versus
guns and cannons from the foreign
invaders
unfortunately magellan did not make it
during their clash encounter
with datu lapu-lapu after magellan was
hit on his neck
by a poisonous arrow which causes death
on april 27 1521
after magellan's death only the gallon
shipped
victoria successfully returned to spain
in september 1522
with a full cargo of various spices
in spite of magellan's death it was not
the end of his journey
instead it was just the beginning
this was because the expedition he
started not only provided
another route to despises but also
paved the way for the european explorers
to expand their geographical knowledge
he also became the root
of the birth of christianity in the
philippines
and after this day his ambitious
expedition around the world
is still considered as one of the
greatest feats
in the history of navigation
