high winds, which forced them to sail northward to the island of Bohol.

Legazpi and his men arrived by the shore, but they were given a hostile welcome by the Boholanos, who
mistook them as Portuguese who had come to plunder and kill.

Locals: Kinsa mo ug nag unsa mo diri?

Legazpi: *Wala ka gets kay language barrier*

Legazpi looked at his Malay pilot with confusion.

With the help of his Malay pilot, Legazpi was able to explain to Datu Sikatuna and Datu Sigala of Loboc
that they were not Portuguese and that they had come to offer peace.

Malay pilot translate to Legazpi: ¿Quiénes son y qué hacen aquí?

Legazpi to Datu Sikatuna: Nosotros venimos aquí en paz

*Gi translate ni Malay pilot: They come here in peace, Datu.

The Malay pilot added: Calm down, they’re not Portuguese.

Scene 3: Blood compact

After gi explain sa malay pilot na dili sila Portuguese, the Datus toured Legazpi and his men around the
place.

*In Spanish Legazpi: We have travelled far, across vast oceans. Today we stand before this chieftain of
Bohol. May this day be remembered as the beginning of peace.

Interpreter to Sikatuna: He says, the great leader, Miguel Lopez de Legazpi, greets you in peace. We
seek friendship and alliance.

Sikatuna: (Nods, speaking to his warriors) This man, Legazpi appears honorable. Let us hear what he
proposes.

Warrior 1: (Hesitant, whispers to Warrior 2) But, can we trust these foreigners? Their ships are many,
and their weapons are strange.

Warrior 2 (whispers back): We will see. If their intentions are true, then we have nothing to fear.

Legazpi: I come not as a conqueror, but as a friend. Our king, the great King Philip of Spain, desires to
form a bond of peace between our peoples.

Interpreter:(Translating) Legazpi offers his hand in friendship. He desires a bond with your people.

Datu Sikatuna: (Looking thoughtfully) And what do you offer in return for this peace?
Legazpi:(Speaking confidently) Trade. Protection. And the friendship of Spain, the most powerful nation
in the world.

Interpreter:(Translating) He offers you trade, protection, and friendship with Spain, a great empire.

Sikatuna:(Looks at his warriors, then to Legazpi) Your offer is tempting, but words alone cannot seal
trust. In our land, we have a tradition. A blood compact.

Legazpi was intrigued: A blood compact?

Spanish Soldier 1:(Speaking to his fellow soldier) Did you ever think we’d see the day when we would
drink blood with the locals?

Spanish Soldier 2: It is strange, but if it secures our mission, it is worth it.

Native Warrior 1: (Speaking to his companion) This is a day our people will remember. Sikatuna has
bound us to these foreigners.

Native Warrior 2: We must see if their promises hold true.

Sikatuna walks over to Legazpi, placing a hand on his shoulder.

Sikatuna:You are now a brother of Bohol. I will trust you. Do not betray that trust.

Legazpi:(Smiling) I will honor this bond, Datu Sikatuna. Together, our peoples will prosper.

Scene 5: The Departure

The scene concludes with the two leaders walking side by side as their people mingle, cautiously
beginning to interact.

Legazpi: We shall bring gifts to honor this pact.

Sikatuna: And we shall welcome you as brothers when you return.

[The music swells as the camera (or the focus of the play) pans out, showing the two groups now at ease
with each other.]
