    reached in the Philippines. After the
    Battle of Mactan, their man is enough
    to man two ships: Trinidad and
    Victoria. Until, they returned to
    Spain, only one ship survived which
    is Victoria, one of the survivors was
    Antonio Pigafetta which kept the
    journal about their expedition.

    Upon the advice of Pigafetta’s associates, he


    presented his account to Pope Clement VII,
    Philippe de Villiers I’Isle-Adam, and to Louis of
    Savoy to finance its publication. But, he was unable
    to find a financier.

    The original journal of Pigafetta did not survived


    throughout the history. What was handed to us was
    just the manuscript that never came out of the press
    during his lifetime.
