Magellan asked for permission from the king of Portugal to go around the world and prove it and
to find spices, but they did not allow him, so he thought of asking the king of Spain for help
The morning of March 16, 1521, when Magellan's group saw the island of Zamal which in
today's time is known as Samar this event from the point of view of Europeans is the so-called
discovery of the Philippines

Christianity.

Together with Raja Colamobo, Magellan's group went to Cebu on April 7, 1521. Here Magellan
and his men befriended his leader, Raja Jumabon (Lee).
This friendship was so good that the natives including Raja Jumabon and her wife were baptized
into Christianity.
Raja Jumabon (Lee) was the first Native King of the Philippines to convert the Roman
catecholism. After he, his wife, and some people in Cebu were baptized into Roman catecholism
by the priests of Magellan.

Narrator: While Magellan was in Cebu a dispute arose between Raja Sula and Lapu – Lapu.
Because of this, Raja Sula immediately went to Cebu to ask for help from Magellan bringing the

April 27, 1521 – The Battle of Mactan
(Scene 14: Nakapose si Lapulapu at mga alagad niya habang nakataas ang kanilang mga
spada)
Despite this, Lapulapu still firmly refused to recognize the power of the Spanish in Mactan.
Thinking that they could handle Lapulapu, also because they had more modern war equipment
and more extensive fighting skills, they atta cked the Lapulapu group. It was this battle that
killed Magellan himself. Lapulapu’s victory in the battle of Mactan can be said to be the first
successful uprising of the Filipinos against the foreign invaders.
