EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts a pivotal moment in the history of the Philippines as Spanish admiral Miguel Lopez de Legazpi (1503-1572) forges an alliance with Sikatuna, the king of Bohol, through the Blood Compacts ceremony in 1565. The image showcases Legazpi, dressed in full armor and wearing a helmet, standing confidently with his hand extended, offering a cup of wine to Sikatuna, who is depicted as a bearded, traditional Asian leader, holding a cup of blood from a freshly cut chicken. This significant episode marked the beginning of the Spanish colonization of the Philippines and symbolized the peaceful intentions of the Spanish towards the native population. The intricately detailed engraving, with its vibrant colors, transports us back to the 16th century, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural exchange that took place between the East Indies and Europe during the Age of Discovery. The Blood Compacts ceremony between Legazpi and Sikatuna is an iconic episode in Philippine history, highlighting the formation of an alliance that would shape the destiny of the islands for centuries to come.
