PAGBABAGO
Food security has become an imperative goal in our pandemic times. It is underscored in one of the two themes of the quincentennial of the coming of Christianity in the Philippines – “humanity” or compassion of our ancestors in saving the sick, starving, undernourished and hopeless crew
Cheers for Pigafetta and Felice Michael “Xiao” Chua
First of 2 parts ON April 13, 2021, the eve of the 500th anniversary of the arrival of Christianity in the Philippines (through the First Baptism in Cebu) , we gathered in front of the monument to Antonio Pigafetta in Fort San Pedro, Cebu, sculpted by National Artist Abdulmari Imao. The National Historical Commission of the Philippines has installed a new historical marker in his honor. Why is this guy important?
We mention Pigafetta always in relation to the Magellan expedition. Pigafetta said this, Pigafetta wrote that. Yet, even as a teacher in history for many years, I never realized how important he was until I actually read Pigafetta himself, having only based my knowledge previously of the famous expedition from the history textbooks. Others from Yoyoy.
