National Museum of the Philippines Director-Genera l Jeremy Barms with the relief mounted by the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) on the pedestal featuring the historical marker for Homonhon, the site of the first landing of the Magellan-Elcano expedition on Philippine soil on 17 March 1521. The relief is based on the sketches of muralist Derrick Macutay and sculpted by Francis Apiles. It was inaugurated along with the historical marker of NHCP for the Homohon episode of the first circumnavigation of the world on 17 March 2021.
Depicted in the relief is the episode in Homonhon in which an unnamed ruler from Suluan, a nearby island, met Ferdinand Magellan, the captain-general of the expedition, on 18 March 1521. Upon knowing that the expedition crew members were starving and needing nourishment, the Suluan chief brought them whatever provision they had at that time and resupplied the expedition with food. Prior to this, the expedition had been in wandering for four months across the Pacific without food and water.
