Spain also won maritime laurels October 12,1492 – Columbus discovered America

for Spain which gave her a new height of glory

Magellan was born in the town of Ponte de Barca, Province of Minho, Portugal,1480. He is the youngest of 3 children of Ruy Magellan and Alda de Mosquita. His family belonged to Portuguese nobility. He was educated at king’s court at Lisbon, where he served as page to Queen Leonora.In 1505 at the age of 23, he joined the Portuguese expedition to the East led by Francisco de Almeida, first Portuguese viceroy of India.

He bravely fought many battles for Portugal It was in the battle of Malacca (1511) that

he saved the life of his cousin and close friend Francisco Serrano.

In 1513-with his Malay slave whom he acquired from Malacca, he returned to Lisbon.

Afterwards he took part in the Portuguese campaign against the Moors of Africa, here his left knee was pierced by the lance of an enemy which caused him to limp for the rest of his life

At the close of African war, Magellan again returned to Lisbon where he pored over old map and crystallized his belief in a westward route to the East.

Unfortunately, King Manuel did not only ignore such plan but also refused to increase his pension

Ingratitude of the Portuguese King

Because of King’s ingratitude, Magellan renounced his Portuguese citizenship and went to SPAIN.

In Seville, Spain he met Diego Barbosa, a Portuguese and old friend of his father

He befriended Barbosa’s son Duarte, an experienced navigator and also married Barbosa’s pretty daughter Beatriz

Through Barbosa’s effort, he was able to appear at the royal court of King Charles I concurrently Emperor Charles V of Germany and presented his plan to Moluccas- the spice island and it was APPROVED

END THANK YOU!

For nearly three centuries(1527-1821) there were close relations between Philippines and Mexico.

Saavedra (1527), Villalobos(1543), and Legazpi (1565) were financed and manned by Mexicans.

What linked these two countries more intimately was the Galleon Trade between Manila and Acapulco

Mexican Relations

From the days of Legazpi to the year 1821, the Philippines was under the viceroyalty of Mexico.

The Mexican viceroy governed our country for the King of Spain

The Spanish authorities in Manila submitted reports to him on Philippine conditions and needs

In religious and government matters, Philippines was under the jurisdiction of Mexico

There were also books printed in Mexico

Philippines under Mexico

Mexicans in the Philippines were labelled by both Filipino and Spanish historians as “Spaniards”

They were Spanish subjects but were Mexicans by birth, nationality, and choice.

The Filipinos were also Spanish subjects but were never called “Spaniards” during colonial times.

Juan de Salcedo- the fighting grandson of Legazpi was the first Mexican to win fame in Philippines. The first encomendero of Ilocos

Saint Felipe de Jesus- the first Mexican to join the Franciscan Order in Manila. He died as a martyr in Nagasaki Japan in 1567.

Mexicans in the Philippines

Archbishop Manuel Antonio Rojo- a native of Mexico and was acting governor general when English attacked Manila in 1762.

Fr. Luis de Salinas- a Mexican secular priest, the first treasurer of the Manila Cathedral

Fr. Agustin de Villegas- first Mexican-born missionary to preach Christianity in Cebu(1599)

Annually the Manila galleons carried Asia’s products to Acapulco

On their returned trips, they brought Mexico’s exports.

San Pedro- the first galleon to make the round trip from Mexico to the Philippines and back to Mexico in 1564-1565, the flagship of Legazpi’s expedition.

THERE WAS FREE TRADE BETWEEN MANILA AND ACAPULCO

This trade brought great prosperity to both Philippine and Mexican merchants

Manila-Acapulco Trade

Galleon

It also cut the Spanish commerce with Mexico because the Mexicans patronized the Asian goods brought by the Manila galleons.

Other cities of Spain complained to the King that the cheaper goods from Asia were driving away Spanish products from the markets of America.

Hence the King restricted the Manila-Acapulco trade beginning the year 1593. It became a government monopoly and regulated by royal decrees.

On their way to Acapulco, they were loaded with Chinese porcelain and silk clothes, Persian rugs, Arabian perfumes, Mollucas spices, Indian fabrics, and Philippine pearls and pottery.

From Acapulco, they were transported by trains to Mexico City

On their return trips to Manila, they carried the annual subsidy(real situado), the Mexican silver pesos(purchase price of the goods), and mexico’s exports like wool and cacao

Galleon Cargoes

Subsidy (real situado)- was a sum of money which the viceroy of Mexico sent annually to Manila to cover the deficits of the Philippine government. The amount was not fixed but averaged of P250,000 a year

The Philippines was a financial burden to the Spanish Crown

Subsidy from Mexico

The first Filipinos to live in Mexico were the five political exiles from Manila- Pedro Balinguit, chief of Pandacan; Felipe Salonga,chief of Polo; Pitongatan, chief of Tondo; Calao, chief Tondo; and Agustin Manuguit, chief of Tondo

Filipino seamen during the days of galleon trade deserted their ships and stayed permanently in Acapulco. They married Mexican women and reared a new generation of Filipino-Mexican children.

Filipinos in Mexico

A religious court which tried cases of heresy. It was established in Mexico City in the year

1536 to protect the Church from heretical attacks against Catholic teachings.

Msgr. Juan de Zumarraga- the first head of Inquisition called Inquisitor. He was the first Bishop of Mexico.

Don Miguel Lopez de Legazpi- the first secretary of the Inquisition from 1536-1547

It was extended to the Philippines in 1578 Fr. Miguel de Benavides- represented the

Inquisition in the Philippines

Inquisition

Filipinos and Chinese were exempted from the Inquisition. Only white persons were under its jurisdiction.

Dona Ines Alvarez de Gibraleon- first person tried by Inquisition in 1580 due to witchery.

ABOLITION OF GALLEON TRADE: September 25, 1813- King Ferdinand VII

abolished the government monopoly of galleon trade.

The close ties that linked the Philippines and Mexico were officially cut off in 1821 when Mexico won her independence.

After that year, the Spanish king ruled the Philippines directly from Madrid.

Adios to Phil-Mexican Relations

Plants like achuete, cacao, maize, chico, camachile, maguey, and tobacco.

Flowers like Acapulco(casia alata), marigold(amarilla), cadena de amor, calachuchi, and azucena.

Animals like cattle, horses, sheep, and fighting roosters

Philippine plants like coconuts, big sweet mangoes, large and delicious bananas (lakatan), the fragrant flower ylang-ylang.

And finally, the Philippines contributed to the success of the Mexican Revolution for independence (1810-1821) by supplying the revolutionaries with the needed funds.
