Today in Philippine History (Philatelic Edition):
MARCH 28, 1521
Portuguese navigator and explorer Ferdinand Magellan (1480 - April 27, 1521) sets foot on Philippine soil for the first time in Limasawa Island.
He was welcomed by the locals led by Rajah Kolambo who became his friend.
Magellan’s slave named Enrique made their communication possible by speaking Malay to the natives.
