Well, for us here it's Ferdinand #Magellan, not Christopher #Columbus.
Can't mention Magellan without mentioning #LapuLapu. ☝️ He and his tribe famously beat and drove away the invading Europeans-with-better-weapons 🔫 by their Asian bravery, muscles and bolos. 🗡️ Mmm... Maybe they had spears too. 🤔 I dunno. I wasn't there. 🤪
