[edit] Magellan
I thought Magellan was the disoverer of the Philippines??--Jondel 00:29, 31 May 2005 (UTC)

- Hmmm. I think you're right. Well. I'm actually no expert on this subject, I was sort of inferring based on my sources. Perhaps what Arellano discovered was not the Philippines themselves, but the sea route from them back to Mexico. That would make more sense. Either that, or he discovered some Philippine Islands which Magellan had not yet set foot on. Remember, Magellan was eaten by the Filipinos, and thus did not return to speak of his discovery...

Eaten? Wow! I think you should check your sources.Killed maybe. I've never heard of canibalism in the Philippines. In the Spanish version , I put discovered the Philippines for practical purposes. I can correct this. (I translated this to Spanish)--Jondel 23:29, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
