Homonhon Island

Homonhon Island is an island of the Philippines. Magellan's 3 surviving vessels passed the Marianas, but did not land, even though he was out of food, after crossing the Pacific Ocean. After landing on Homonhon, his crew managed to gather some foodstuffs. He landed on the island of Homonhon March 16, 1521, when Homonhon was uninhabited. However, he was detected by the boats of Rajah Calambu of Limasawa, who guided him to Cebu, on April 7. Thus Rajah Calambu was an ally of the Rajah of Cebu.
