The document summarizes key events of Ferdinand Magellan's historic expedition, which was the first to circumnavigate the globe from 1519 to 1522. It details how Magellan, sailing for the Spanish crown, sought a western route to the Spice Islands but was killed in the Philippines in 1521. Of the original 5 ships and over 300 men, only 18 survived and one ship returned to Spain in 1522, completing the first global circumnavigation. The expedition proved the earth was round and established Spain's claim in the Philippines, leading it to send subsequent colonizing expeditions.

3. THE MAGELLAN EXPEDITION
 Ferdinand Magellan, a
Portuguese in the
service of the Spanish
crown, was looking for a
westward route to the
to the Spice Islands of
Indonesia.

4. THE MAGELLAN EXPEDITION
 On March 16, 1521,
Magellan's expedition
landed on Homonhon
island in the Philippines.
He was the first
European to reach the
islands.

5. THE MAGELLAN EXPEDITION
 Rajah Humabon of Cebu
was friendly with
Magellan and embraced
Christianity, but their
enemy, Lapu-Lapu was
not. Humabon wanted
Magellan to kill Lapu-
Lapu while Magellan
wanted to convert Lapu-
Lapu into Christianity.

6. THE MAGELLAN EXPEDITION
 On April 17, 1521,
Magellan sailed to
Mactan and ensuing
battle killed Magellan by
the natives lead by
Lapu-Lapu.

7. THE MAGELLAN EXPEDITION
 Out of the five ships and
more than 300 men who
left on the Magellan
expedition in 1519, only
one ship (the Victoria)
and 18 men returned to
Seville, Spain on
September 6, 1522.

8. THE MAGELLAN EXPEDITION
 Nevertheless, the said
expedition was
considered historic
because it marked the
first circumnavigation of
the globe and proved
that the world was
round.

9. THE MAGELLAN EXPEDITION
 Juan Sebastian de
Elcano, the master of
ship "Concepcion" took
over the command of
the expedition after the
death of Magellan and
captained the ship
"Victoria" back to Spain.

10. THE MAGELLAN EXPEDITION
 He and his men earned
the distinction of being
the first to
circumnavigate the
world in one full
journey. After
Magellan's death in
Cebu, it took 16 more
months for Elcano to
return to Spain.

11. THE MAGELLAN EXPEDITION
 The Magellan expedition
started off through the
westward route and
returning to Spain by
going east; Magellan
and Elcano's entire
voyage took almost
three years to complete.

13. SPAIN SENDS OTHER EXPEDITION
 After the Spain had celebrated Elcano’s return,
King Charles I decided that Spain should
conquer the Philippines. Five subsequent
expeditions were then sent to the Islands.

and only Legazpi succeeded in colonizing the Islands.

21. THE VILLALOBOS EXPEDITION
 Ruy Lopez de Villalobos
set sail for the
Philippines from
Navidad, Mexico on
November 1, 1542.

22. THE VILLALOBOS EXPEDITION
 He followed the route
taken by Magellan and
reached Mindanao on
February 2, 1543. He
established a colony in
Sarangani but could not
stay long because of
insufficient food supply.

23. THE VILLALOBOS EXPEDITION
 His fleet left the island
and landed on Tidore in
the Moluccas, where
they were captured by
the Portuguese.

24. THE VILLALOBOS EXPEDITION
 Villalobos is
remembered for naming
our country “Islas
Filipinas,” in honor of
King Charles’ son, Prince
Philip, who later became
king of Spain.

26. THE LEGAZPI EXPEDITION
 Since none of the
expedition after
Magellan from Loaisa to
Villalobos had
succeeded in taking over
the Philippines, King
Charles I stopped
sending colonizers
to the Islands.

27. THE LEGAZPI EXPEDITION
 However, when Philip II
succeeded his father to
the throne in 1556, he
instructed Luis de Velasco,
the viceroy of Mexico, to
prepare a new expedition
– to be headed by Miguel
Lopez de Legazpi, who
would be accompanied by
Andres de Urdaneta, a
priest who had survived
the Loaisa mission.

28. THE LEGAZPI EXPEDITION
 On February 13, 1565,
Legaspi's expedition landed
in Cebu island. After a short
struggle with the natives, he
proceeded to Leyte, then to
Camiguin and to Bohol.
There Legaspi made a blood
compact with the chieftain,
Datu Sikatuna as a sign of
friendship.

29. THE LEGAZPI EXPEDITION
 Legaspi was able to
obtain spices and gold in
Bohol due to his
friendship with
Sikatuna. On April 27,
1565, Legaspi returned
to Cebu; destroyed the
town of Raja Tupas and
establish a settlement.

30. THE LEGAZPI EXPEDITION
 On orders of the King
Philip II, 2,100 men
arrived from Mexico.
They built the port of
Fuerza de San Pedro
which became the
Spanish trading outpost
and stronghold for the
region.

31. THE LEGAZPI EXPEDITION
 Hearing of the riches of
Manila, an expedition of
300 men headed by
Martin de Goiti left
Cebu for Manila. They
found the islands of
Panay and Mindoro.
Goiti arrived in Manila
on May 8, 1570.

32. THE LEGAZPI EXPEDITION
 At first they were
welcomed by the natives
and formed an alliance
with Rajah Suliman, their
Muslim king but as the
locals sensed the true
objectives of the
Spaniards, a battle
between the troops of
Suliman and the Spaniards
erupted.

33. THE LEGAZPI EXPEDITION
 Because the Spaniards are
more heavily armed, the
Spaniards were able to
conquer Manila. Soon
after Miguel Lopez de
Legazpi arrived to join
Goiti in Manila.

34. THE LEGAZPI EXPEDITION
 Legaspi built alliances and
made peace with Rajahs
Suliman, Lakandula and
Matanda. In 1571, Legaspi
ordered the construction
of the walled city of
Intramuros and
proclaimed it as the seat
of government of the
colony and the capital of
the islands.

35. THE LEGAZPI EXPEDITION
 In 1572, Legaspi died
and was buried at the
San Agustin Church in
Intramuros. In 1574,
Manila was bestowed
the title "Insigne y
Siempre Leal Ciudad de
España" (Distinguished
and ever loyal city of
Spain) by King Philip II of
Spain.

37. WHY THE PHILIPPINES
WAS EASILY CONQUERED
 Through largely outnumbered, the Spaniards
who came to colonize the Philippines easily
took control of our country. How did this
happen?

38. WHY THE PHILIPPINES
WAS EASILY CONQUERED
 The barangays were scattered and were
not united by a integrative political or
religious system (only Mindanao and
Sulu because of religious reasons were
not conquered)

39. WHY THE PHILIPPINES
WAS EASILY CONQUERED
 Diversity of language which resulted to lack
of communication among ethics areas;

40. WHY THE PHILIPPINES
WAS EASILY CONQUERED
 Willingness to cooperate with the Spaniards
(as manifested by numerous blood compacts
and treaties of friendship between Filipinos
and Spaniards)

41. WHY THE PHILIPPINES
WAS EASILY CONQUERED
 Superiority of Spanish arms and in art of
warfare.
