Hero emojis. Today, in my book, is Thanksgiving Day in the Philippines: 503 years ago, on April 27, 1521, the forces of Lapulapu killed the foreign invaders led by Magellan.
In America, the first Thanksgiving 403 years ago was a harvest feast shared by the Pilgrims with the indigenous people, the Wampanoag nation, of north America for their welcoming bearing and the grace of a bountiful crop. In our archipelago 503 years ago, on April 27, 1521, the forces of Datu Lapulapu slayed the first foreign invaders as documented by Pigafetta describing the death of Magellan and his Spanish troops. I consider this the Philippine Thanksgiving Day.
