Item:403621615162Las Islas Filipinas: Man of Destiny The Saga of Lakan Lapu-Lapu. Las Islas Filipinas Book 1, Volume 2, Man of Destiny, covered the period from time immemorial to the end of the 16th century, with emphasis from 1519-1522. It was the period when the first circumnavigation of the globe took place- three years short of 14 days starting on September 20, 1519, and returning on September 6, 1522, at the same seaport where they first started in San Lucar, Barrameda, Spain. It revealed in graphic historical perspective the lives of these men as they battled hazardous voyage across tortuous seas, covering three oceans (Atlantic,Pacific and Indian) and cruising four continents ( Europe, South America, Africa and Asia) where 175 men out of 265 aboard five ships perished. The Victoria completed the voyage with 18 half-dead Europeans and four native Malayans after traveling 39,300 nautical miles. The 55 men who deserted Magellan rather than pursue the search for a passage to the West, left Brazil much earlier aboard the ship San Antonio. The Santiago was abandoned in Brazil and Concepcion was scuttled in Bohol seaport for lack of crews to man the ship. Trinidad was captured by the Portuguese off Ternate without its original captain, for it was not meant that she should sail back to Spain without the admiral. Moreover, the Armada de Maluco's, fate was doomed when its leader, Captain General Ferdinand Magellan died at the hand of a local chieftain on the island of Mactan.
