FIRST VOYAGE AROUND THE WORLD

March 16, 1521 – nakapuntang Zamal (Samar)

March 17, 1521 – Captain General nagdecide na maghanap ng panibagong place

(uninhabited island) para mas makapagpahinga at mas secure at nagtayo sya ng
dalawang tent.

March 18, 1521 – may bangkang dumating na may 9 na taong naroroon. Nung una
nangampa pa sila kung welcome ba sila pero eventually winelcome sila ng mga tao.

 Captain general “reasonable men” daw yung mga tao kaya nagpakain sila at
nagbigay ng mga kung ano anong bagay. (red caps, mirror, combs, bell, ivory,
bocasine, etc.)
 As a result sa courtesy ng Captain General yung mga tao ay nagbigay din ng
pagkain sa kanila (fish, jar of palm wine – uraca, banana, coconuts)
 Para magkaintindihan nag sign lang sila using their hands na magdadala sila ng
“umay or rice” at coconuts etc. after 4 days.

COCONUTS

 Fruit from a palm tree

 Used by the Filipinos for their living
 Wine: They bore a hole into the heart of the said palm at the top called “palmits”
from which distils liquor which resembles white mist. (Liquor – sweet but
somewhat tart and is gathered in canes of bamboo.)
 Palm: bears fruit called coconut. (Coconut – 1. large as the head, 2. outside
husk: green and thicker than 2 fingers, certain filaments are found in the husk,
under the husk: hard shell thicker than the shell of a walnut: w/c they burn and
therefore make a powder that is useful to them, under the shell: white marrowy
substance 1 finger thickness and can eat.
 Clear sweet water: found in the middle of the marrowy substance
 OIL: when they wish to make oil they take that coconut then allow the marrowy
substance and the water to putrefy then they boils it and it becomes oil butter.
 VINEGAR: they allow the only water to putrefy and then place it in the sun and a
vinegar result like white wine will form.
 MILK: scrapped the marrow substance and then mixed them with the scrapings
with its own water which is strained by a cloth and so obtained the goat’s milk.
 A FAMILY BY _____ CAN BE SUPPORTED BY TWO TREES. (Utilizing the coconut for a
week then the other after 8 days for the wine if they didn’t do it the trees might
dry up)
