Answer:

  1. The Villame song spoke of the Philippines being "discovered" by the famed navigator on March 16, 1521". But the National Quincentennial Committee stressed out that there were already a thriving civilization in the islands with natives engaged in robust trade with foreigners from neighboring territories long before the arrival of Magellan.
  2. Contrary to "Magellan" verse, the expedition  first landed on the island of Homonhon- not Limasawa which is now part of the Guinan town at the southern tip of Eastern Samar province.
  3. Magellan and his crew also arrived on Homonhon on March 17 not 16 as stated in the song.
