THE CIRCUMNAVIGATION OF MAGELLAN WAS AN ACHIEVEMENT OF HUMANITY

Magellan’s achievement deserves to be admired since it is through his courage and intelligence
that the world learn about what the world really looks like. They are also the reason why
Philippines are rich in culture such as the religion Roman Catholic in the Philippines, Magellan
introduced this religion to Filipino people that until now it is still being practice.

Though Philippines is not the final destination of this voyage but Philippines holds a big part for
the completeness of the first voyage since it’s the country that provides the food for the voyage
to continue its sail to the Island of Maluco, their final destination of which the spices came
from. The short visit not only introduced religion but they also introduce trading or barter as a
way of gathering things they need for the trip.
