RELEVANCE OF THE DOCUMENT

 August 10, 1519, starting of the first expedition around the world
of Magellan.
 The book served as an evidence that the world is round and not
all flat.
 This book aids the researchers and students of today in
understanding the context of the Magellan expedition and how the
whole Europe-Philippines conflict commenced.
 Magellan discovered the pacific Ocean
 Magellan proved that there was a way to the east by sailing west.
 Growing up,we’ve understood this issue just simply as the start of
Spanish era and Magellan being the Philippines’ villain without
taking into debate the context and different reasons of the
expedition.
The expedition that was held from 1519-1522:
 Opened many doors for Spain together with many other different
countries around the world due to the different discoveries from
this expedition.
 Led the world to be a more globalized society because of how

other countries were revealed to the European countries.
 Businesses rise because of the discoveries that made up the

different products. Collaborations were also made that benefited
the different sides.
 Opened many doors fo the Philippines
 Helped us in knowing how the early Filipinos lived by the account

of primary source who witnessed it firsthand.

they coped when Magellan and his men came to the Philippines.
 We discover what religion Filipinos used to have and they became

Christians.

Spanish occupation by years.
 Pigafetta’s Journal is also a vital piece not only of the Philippine
