The Philippines had been the home of indigenous people since around 30,000 BC. However, the islands became known to Europeans when Ferdinand Magellan landed on the islands on March 26, 1521, during the first circumnavigation of the world.

Magellan died 32 days later fighting native islanders at the Battle of Mactan.
