It will feature the Philippines’ part in the first circumnavigation of the world by Magellan, and the colonization of the islands that followed. “It will further debunk the idea that we were discovered by Magellan and that our pre-colonial ancestors were savages and barbaric,” reads a press release from the National Quincentennial Committee (NQC).
