Ironically, in the HOS timeline the Magellan landing got highlighted, when the leader Lapu Lapu won the battle with native weaponry, the focus of the exhibit and of interest.
I recall in a study of Magellan, his contemporaries other mercenaries had prior knowledge of the region from which he was able to use to route his journey. -vast subject and off topic.
Lapu Lapu, appears in Moro tradition and was linked back to their history.
