@koreopilipinas: April 27, 1521 | Ferdinand Magellan has been killed during the battle on Mactan Island after his forces encountered fierce resistance from Lapulapu and his warriors. Magellan and his men had crossed to Mactan to confront Lapulapu, but the expedition struggled to gain ground against the defenders. The expedition’s commander was eventually overwhelmed during the fighting and killed on the battlefield. News of Magellan’s death has sent shockwaves through the expedition. The man who led the voyage across the Pacific is now gone. But his crew remains in the islands, hundreds of miles from home, with the expedition still far from complete. #History #philippines #fyp #newsupdate #news
