Prepare yourselves. This chapter was a continuance of Magellan’s voyage from Rajah Kolambu, who ruled over Butuan and Caraga on the island of Mindanao, now into the Cebu. Cebu was known for the largest and best trade port, which obviously caught Magellan’s ambitious eye. Honestly, a very weird and tension filled description of Rajah Humabon, as Ate Judy states the “european construct” title for King of Cebu and their first encounters to establish relations… or nah? As Pigafetta + Bergreen’s descriptions cite the sequence of events between Rajah Humabon, his nephew, Prince Tupas, Enrique, Pigafetta, Magellan, and Magellan’s foster son, and apparently Rajah Kolambu made an appearance in the discussions about agreeing to convert to Christianity.

A chapter filled with back and forths and extravagant, anxiety riddled entrances and exits, this one’s a doozy for us to dive into, today!
