Magellan planted a cross in Leyte. Just like
Apollo 11, they planted the American Flag on
the moon. Hence; to signify the first visit to
the place. My answer is Christianity as well.
It was the onset of Christianity in the Phili-
pines.
At that time they have the Holy Bible too in
their Galleon Trade Sail Ship. Added to this,
at that time they also believe that if they
reach the great beyond of the ocean they are
going to fall. They have a vague idea that
the earth was round. Until then that Colombus
proved it by circum navigating the globe.
This is just an accumulated also vague idea
that is stored in my brain. Allowing you to
correct me if I am wrong. We were not at this
ship at that time. Only in writing. Magellan
with his comrade Fegafetta have access to pub-
lications. One Malay boat was found in the shores
of California, much older than their ship.
