Four hundred and ninety-seven years ago, Ferdinand Magellan and crew landed on an island named ‘Humunu.’ ‘Humunu’ as written in the originaI Italian manuscript by Antonio Pigafetta, the Venetian chronicler of the first circumnavigation of the globe. Today, the island is called Homonhon. It belongs to the Municipality of Guiuan, Eastern Samar.
“…..but inasmuch as we found two springs there of the clearest water, we called it Acquada da li buoni Segnialli [i.e., “the Watering-place of good Signs”], the English translation goes.
Here is an outlined day to day chronology of the events that marked the momentous commencement of our archipelago’s entry into the consciousness of the western world.
“At dawn on Saturday, March sixteen, 1521, we came upon a high land….named Zamal [i.e. Samar]. The following day, the captain-general desired to land on another island which was uninhabited…..in order to be more secure, and to get water and have some rest. He had two tents set upon the shore for the sick and had a sow killed for them.”
“On Monday afternoon, March 18, we saw a boat coming toward us with nine men in it. …… giving signs of joy because of our arrival.”
“At noon on Friday, March 22, those men came as they had promised us in two boats…..”
“On the afternoon of Holy Monday, the day of our Lady, March twenty-five, while we were on the point of weighing anchor,…..”
“On Thursday morning, March twenty-eight, as we had seen a fire on an island the night before, we anchored near it.” (It is twenty-five degrees from the Acquada, and is called Mazaua.)
“Next day, holy Friday, the captain-general sent his slave, who acted as our interpreter, ashore in a small boat …….”
“Early on the morning of Sunday, the last of March, and Easter-day, the captain-general sent the priest with some men to prepare the place where mass was to be said;…...we were not going to land in order to dine…., but to say mass.”
