THESE ARE THE NOTES OF PEGAFETTA TRANSLATED INTO ENGLISH...
"On Good Friday, the captain (Magellan) sent ashore the said slave (Enrique) our interpreter, to the King (Si-aui) requesting him to cause some provisions to be given for his ships. The King hearing that, came with seven or eight men in a boat and boarded the ship and embraced the captain, and give him three porcelain jars covered with leaves and full of raw rice and two orades (dorado) which are fairly large fish and other things.
" "In the island of that King (Kalambu) who came to the ship are mines of gold , which are found by digging from the earth large pieces as large as walnuts and eggs, and all the vessels that he uses are likewise gold, as are also some parts of his house which was well fitted in the fashion of this country . And he was the most handsome person whom we saw among those peoples."
"He had very black hair to his shoulders with a silk cloth in his head, and two large gold rings hanging from his ears. He wore a cotton cloth, embroidered with silk, which covered him from his waist to his knees. At his side he has a long dagger with a long handle, and all of gold, the sheath of which was carved wood. Withal he wore on his person perfumes of storax and benzoic ."
"He was tawny and painted all over. His island is called Butuan and Calaghan (Surigao). And when the two kings wished to visit each other, they go hunting on the island (Mazau ) where we were. Of this Kings, the aforesaid painted one is Raia Kulambu, and the other Raia Si-aui."
THE MINES OF GOLD MENTIONED BY FEGAFETTA IS NOT THE MANILA MINING OF PLACES, SURIGAO DEL NORTE
