 | | In 1521, Rajah Calambu of Limasawa Island in the Philippines managed to guide the ships of Magellan, a potential threat, safely past his island to the more powerful chieftain on Cebu, where Magellan landed on April 7 1521. |
 | | Rajah Humabon of Cebu clearly understood the political implications; Magellan represented Spain, a potential invader, and adroitly steered the power of Magellan to his enemy on Mactan. |
 | | April 13,1521 Rajah Humabon, his family, and 800 Sugboanons converted to Roman Catholicism before Magellan and his party and immediately declared the "enemies of the church" the growing Muslim community headed by Caliph Pulaka (Lapu-Lapu to Filipinos) on Mactan Island. |
