Kaagi: The Philippines and the First Circumnavigation

Through the insights of distinguished Filipino historians, Kaagi explores the Filipino perspective of the first circumnavigation of the world. It highlights the generosity, compassion, and humanity of our ancestors when they received and nursed to life the starving members of the Magellan-Elcano expedition that crossed the Pacific Ocean in 1521, as well as the gallantry of the warriors of Mactan, which influenced Filipino heroes and history icons who established the Philippines as a nation.

The documentary also recognizes the region’s rich civilization before the Spanish arrived in the islands 500 years ago. And explores relevant events after the Battle of Mactan that contributed significantly to the first circumnavigation.

Kaagi: The Philippines and the First Circumnavigation is produced by the National Quincentennial Committee, the National Historical Commission of the Philippines, and Project V Media.

This is an official project in line with the 2021 Quincentennial Commemorations in the Philippines, in solidarity with the Year of Filipino Pre-Colonial Ancestors and the Philippine International Quincentennial Conference.

Will use this as reference for the Readings in Philippine History, kasi nabobored talaga students kapag napahaba dahil nagrerefer sa mismong account written by Pigaffeta. Thank you and I hope that students will appreciate the circumnavigation~

Based on this video, Magellan happened to come to our country not to Christianize us and not to conquer our land but they were looking for food and water to continue their expedition to Mollucas and finding New route going Eastward.

Nice. Ang husay ng valuing. Dapat pa talagang mabunyag sa mata ng mga kabataan ang kahulugan ng mga datos na akala nila'y pang-kabisaduhan lamang. Magtatanda tayong lahat mula sa mayamang kasaysayan natin!

[alagwabanwa]

Sana po marami pang ganitong educational videos para po maituwid at madagdagan yung limitadong kaalaman ng mga mamamayan sa tunay na kasaysayan ng bansa natin.

It was actually Enrique the Malacca, the translator, who first succeeded of circumnavigating the globe, technically speaking. He's from Malacca, went to Spain, sailed with the armada to the Philippines and then back to Malacca, before Elcano and the other european crews reached Spain.

I enjoyed every bit of it. Good job and congratulations NQC 👏👏👏🇵🇭
