Francisco Pizarro joined Vasco Núñez de Balboa in his march to the "South Sea," during which Balboa discovered the Pacific Ocean. In 1532, Pizarro and his brothers conquered Peru. Three years later, Pizarro founded the nation's new capital, Lima.
Francisco Pizarro accomplished three things. He brought down the Inca Empire. He founded Lima, Peru and made Lima the capital of Peru. He was along on the expedition that founded the Pacific Ocean.
Well, the Pacific Ocean isn't "in" San Francisco...it would be more accurate to say that San Francisco is located on the eastern rim of the Pacific Ocean.

In 1513, Francisco Pizarro explored the western coast of South America, specifically what is now the country of Peru. He was part of an expedition led by Vasco Núñez de Balboa that crossed the Isthmus of Panama and reached the Pacific Ocean for the first time. Pizarro's exploration of Peru eventually led to the conquest of the Inca Empire.
Francisco Pizarro was mainly influenced by his mentor and partner in exploration, Vasco Nunez de Balboa, who was the first European to reach the Pacific Ocean. Pizarro was also influenced by his brothers, who were involved in early explorations of South America. Additionally, the stories of other Spanish conquistadors, such as Hernan Cortes and Pedro de Alvarado, would have likely inspired Pizarro in his own conquests.
The Philippines was already inhabited by natives and people from Malaysia and Indonesia when the Spanish expeditions sent to conquer and colonize it arrived in 1521 and 1565. There was on-going trade with China, Thailand, Cambodia and other neighboring countries. The people were organized into tribes and had their leaders, laws and "armies." Granted that it was "discovered" by Ferdinand Magellan, the evidences that exist are the reports of the Spanish chroniclers.
He discovered it in 1521
Francisco Pizarro primarily used caravels and larger ships known as naos during his voyages to South America. Caravels were smaller, agile ships suitable for exploration, while naos were larger and designed for carrying cargo and troops. These vessels allowed Pizarro and his crew to navigate the Pacific Ocean and reach the Inca Empire in the early 16th century.
