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.

I have yet to get a hold of Felice Prudente Sta. Maria’s new book, “Pigafetta’s Philippine Picnic,” published by the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) as our contribution to the global commemoration of the Quincentennial of the First Circumnavigation, 1519-1522, but I got to talk to her and, already, as hers did while researching for the book, my imagination is at work.

“The Battle of Mactan has an underlying food story.”
So says food historian Felice Prudente Sta. Maria when I ask her about what she found most surprising while researching for her just-released book “Pigafetta’s Philippine Picnic,” published by the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP).

“Pigafetta mentioned that goats were part of a food quota demanded by Magellan of chiefs loyal to Humabon,” she explains. “He also recorded that one village refusing to cooperate was burned by the Spanish. For a long time, I had a hunch that food played a bigger role in the death of Magellan. While re-reading Pigafetta’s book, Danilo Geronimo released his biography of Magellan. It was the first time I read an enumeration of the food quota. And it demanded more than a few goats!”
