On 16 March 1521, they caught sight of the island of Samar. This was Magellan's discovery of the Philippines for Spain. The date of Magellan's arrival on the Philippine shores has since been changed to 17 March 1521 to coincide with Magellan's crossing of the International Date Line on the Pacific.
