A REPLICA of the 17th century Manila-Acapulco galleon docked at the Port of Manila Wednesday in celebration of the first International Dia del Galleon (International Day of the Galleon) Festival 2010.
The 50-meter-long "Galleon Andalucia," crewed by 28 men and two women, is the exact copy of the vessel that brought Ferdinand Magallanes in the Philippines in 1521.
Before heading to Manila, the Andalucia stayed in Hong Kong for four days and opened its doors to Chinese nationals.
In an interview, Antonio Gonzalo de la Cruz, captain of the ship, said it was his first time to visit the Philippines, while lauding the unmatched hospitality of the Filipino people.
According to De la Cruz, the Philippine stopover is very important because of the Filipino-Spaniard connections.
"I always tell my crew that this trip in the Philippines is very different because the country has a big resemblance with the Spanish culture and tradition," he said.
The Philippines stopover is included in the 600-day trip of Andalucia from its home port in Madrid, Spain. So far, it visited Israel, Sri Langka, Brunei, Shanghai, Egypt, Sudan, Singapore and Taiwan.
The vessel will stay in Manila until Saturday, October 9. It is open for public viewing on the following schedules: October 7 to 8 (9 a.m. to 4 p.m.), October 9 (8 a.m. to 12 noon).
After Manila, it will sail to Cebu City where it will stay for four days before heading to Bohol.
The Bohol stopover will be 10 days to replenish the ship’s supplies and to pay tribute to the role of galleon trading in the country. (Glaiza Jarloc/Sunnex)
