" The First Round the World " is about the expedition of Antonio Pigapeta with

Ferdinand Magellan.
Antonio Pigafetta is Ferdinand Magellan's assistant, and therefore his writings are
considered the main source. His
first expedition was in 151922 to the Isle of Spices under the banner of King Carlos I of
Spain, where he
circumnavigated the world after Magellan's death. On September 8, 1522, the crew of
the Victoria fought in the
waters of Seville, Spain, where they had recently completed their trip around the world.
The ship was carrying
Antonio Pigapeta, a young Italian nobleman who had participated in the campaign three
years earlier and had joined
as a partner on the way to Molucas on behalf of Ferdinand Magellan. Magellan is dead.
Pigafetta's diary was the
trigger for his 1525 voyage "around the world". As researcher Theodore Cashey, Jr.
pointed out, the travel journal
was an "abstract example of classification" and has achieved worldwide fame.
Francesco Chiericati, one of Pigafetta's
supporters, called the diary "a heavenly thing. " The engagement at Mactan, published
in Pigafetta's travel journal,
makes clear what happened before, during, and after. The event took place on Friday,
April 26th. The chieftain of
Mactan in Cebu, Jula, sent one of his children to bring two goats to the table and pay
the commander-in-chief some
sort of reparation, but there was no way to let them go. Another boss, Chilapulapu, who
does not obey the lord of
Spain. He asked the captain to send only one boat with the men to aid in the battle
against Chilapulapu the next
night. The general decided to send three ships with the people. He told me not to go,
but he refused. At 12:00 noon,
60 men armed themselves and came out with Christian monarchs and officials, some
central troops, and 20 to
30 Balyang. They arrived in Mactan three hours before dawn.
Commander Ferdinand Magellan wanted to fight the locals. He specifically said that he
would submit to the Spanish
lord, accept Christianity as a religion and become a companion if accepted, but
otherwise he would understand how
property is destroyed and uproar. Locals replied that if there was land, there would be a
playground with hardened
bamboo braziers. Locals have asked not to deal with free games for everyone, but to
keep them until morning so that
there are enough fighters for battle. In the morning, 49 pilgrims jumped up to their hips
and walked on the water.
The ship was unable to access the shore because of the huge rocks. The other 11
remained to see the pontoon.
When they landed, these people were divided into three groups of over 1,000,500. The
locals attacked the travelers
as soon as they saw them. At that moment, when Magellan saw them, he divided his
troops into two and began to
fight. Riflemen and crossbowmen opened fire on all locals for about 30 minutes. After
all, their bullets only go
through the thin shields of the locals. But the very novelty that travel can offer, which
constitutes so many
possibilities, raises questions. The essayist of the movement demands, on the one
hand, the authority of an
observing gaze and, on the other hand, humility against ambiguity. Having got to know
others, Pigafetta tries to
determine her position with the help of many details. He brings to us their realities, how
similar they are, where they
live, what they eat and what they speak, and pages and pages of words from
Patagonia, Cebu, Tidore. But little can
be expected sooner or later in the 16th century. 20 years later, there is little silence, and
the Pope isolated the
unknown between Spain and Portugal. Magellan and his associates are a corporation
that has reached an agreement
with the Spanish government to continue to guarantee the positions of lieutenant and
governor over the territories
they find for themselves and their beneficiaries. Plus, money. There is also a 1/20
advantage in these landscapes. In
First Voyage, there is a huge gap between what Pigafetta sees and what Pigafetta
knows. I learned about this bay
while living in Mariana as a child. This is very important because taking travel notes can
be too burdensome for me
right now.
Arriving in Mariana after drifting for about four months without any new food, the
commander said, “The
commander wanted to stop on a huge island to get some new food, but he couldn’t
because the islanders got on the
boat and took everything. They were able to reach us in a way that we could not defend
ourselves.” Sailors did not
realize that property was revealed to the islanders and that it was customary to share
what guests owned. So, in the
first contact photo, Magellan and his ghetto group fought back. They made their way to
the shore and, according to
Pigafetta, devoured 40 to 50 houses. They killed seven men. Shared surprise at the
new and the wondrous took a dull
turn: "At the point when we injured any of those individuals with our crossbow shafts,
which went totally through
their flanks from one side to the next, they, seeing it, pulled on the pole now on this and
now on that side, and
afterward coaxed it out, with extraordinary amazement, thus passed on; other people
who were injured in thA
First Voyage Around the World is a work by Antonio Pigafetta, also known as Antonio
Lombardo
or Francisco Antonio Pigafetta, whose goal is to inform readers by presenting factual
data. He
was a well-known Italian wanderer who was born in the 1940s and died in the same
city—
Vincenza—in 1953. He joined the Magallanes-Elcano expedition to the Moluccas—lead
by
Ferdinand Magellan—from August 1519 to September 1522. In this mission, there are
five ships
namely Santiago, San Antonio, Concepcion, Trinidad, and Victoria. Only three of these
five
ships made it to the Philippines, and only one survived the Battle of Mactan to return to
Spain—
the Victoria ship, whose survivors include Antonio Pigafetta, who wrote a book about
the
mission.
Although Antonio Pigafetta's journal is the most reliable source of his work, it did not
survive
throughout history. Instead, a manuscript was handed down that detailed the fate of the
five
ships throughout the expedition, as well as the challenges and unforeseen problems
they
encountered along the way, as well as some geographic information about the places
they
visited.
The timeline during their stay in the Philippines was one of the historical details found in
the
manuscript. On March 16, 1521, they landed in Humunu (now Homonhon), Zamal (now
Samar),
where they were greeted with fish, figs, coconuts, and palm wine. On March 31, 1521,
they held
the first mass in the Philippines in Mazaua (Limasawa), which was attended by island
residents,
Spanish voyagers, the two Rajas, and Magellan. They arrived in the port of Zubu (Cebu)
on
April 7, 1521, and fired mortars as a gesture of peace and friendship; but, tensions
between the
ruler of Zubu and the voyagers, as well as Magellan, threatened them with a raging
conflict.
Despite this, they maintained their peace and celebrated a mass with Raja Humabon on
April 14
of the same year, baptizing 800 souls. Pigafetta presented the queen with a painting of
the Child
Jesus (known as the Santo Nino today). Despite the fact that the island's chief, Datu
Zula,
welcomed them, Cilapulapu (Lapu-lapu), the other chief, refused to obey the king of
Spain—so
Datu Zula requested Magellan to defeat Cilapulapu, which began the battle on April 27,
1521;
where the natives outsmarted them and used patibongs to defeat the voyagers, as a
result,
they're fighting a losing battle. Magellan ordered his soldiers to surrender, but they
refused, thus
he was struck in the leg with a poisoned arrow on April 28, 1521, and died. After that,
his
soldiers withdrew, leaving their captain dead. The Magallanes-Elcano voyage came to
an end
when the ship Victoria arrived in Serville, Spain, after over a year and a half at sea.
The work contributed as a primary source for a great deal of historical material that was
useful
in the history of the Philippines. It demonstrated that the Philippines existed long before
Magellan's discovery, that the country is wealthy in natural riches, and that the majority
of
Filipinos are as welcoming as they are now. As Lapu-lapu demonstrated, nationalism is
expressed and practiced; it also demonstrated the Filipinos' cleverness and readiness
as they
fought the voyagers.The First Voyage Around the World made contributions to the fields
of
geography, history, and navigation by demonstrating that the planet is not flat and that
native
products existed before the colonial period. It could also define the locals' physical
appearance

1. Three things that I significantly learned from the readings

■ Christianity was first introduced by Europeans and the first Christian Mass was also
held even before the Spaniards conquered the Philippines.
■ Magellan discovered the Philippines and named it Archipelago of St. Lazarus.
 ■ The voyage of Magellan was very important as he made it known that it was possible
to sail around the world. He also contributed to geographical knowledge and has
proven that the earth is round.
■ Magellan’s expedition was significant as it paved the way for a bridge to be created
between the Philippines and Western Civilizations.

2. Three things that are still unclear to me

■ Did Pigafetta use Christianity to manipulate the chieftains to fight against each
other?
■ Was Lapu Lapu wrong in killing Magellan?
■ Did Pigafetta use Christianity to manipulate the chieftains to fight against each
other?

3. I used to think that..

■ Knowing only the side of our History will already suffice, but after reading Pigafettas
accounts, it showed me that knowing history through different sources is important.
■ We have been conquered initially by spaniards, but after reading the accounts of
pigafetta it made me realize that whenever we are being conquered by other
countries we have always fought for our country no matter what.

4. Three questions that I want to ask about the readings

■ Did Pigafetta use Christianity to manipulate the chieftains to fight against each
other?
■ Was Lapu Lapu wrong to kill Magellan?
■ Did Pigafetta use Christianity to manipulate the chieftains to fight against each
other?
