==History==
During the first circumnavigation of the globe, Ferdinand Magellan's three surviving vessels passed the Marianas, but did not land,〔W.D. Brownlee (Master Mariner), 1974. ''The First Ships Around the World'' ISBN 0-8225-1204-1, p.44.〕 even though he was out of food after crossing the Pacific Ocean. Yet he landed on the island of Homonhon on March 16, 1521, where his crew managed to gather some food〔Richard Humble, ''The Voyage of Magellan'', Franklin Watts () ISBN 0-531-10638-1 p.20.〕 despite Homonhon being uninhabited at that time. However, he was detected by the boats of Rajah Culambu of Limasawa, who guided him to Cebu, on April 7.〔Laurence Bergreen, ''Over the Edge of the World : Magellan's Terrifying Circumnavigation of the Globe'' HarperCollins Publishers () ISBN 0-06-621173-5〕 Thus Rajah Calambu was an ally of the Datu of Cebu.
