ABSTRACT:
This webinar lecture re-visits the historical account about Enrique de Malacca and reviews available evidence regarding his identity – is he a Malay or a Cebuano? Enrique is a “captured slave” who worked as Ferdinand Magellan’s valuable interpreter in his voyage to the Philippines in 1521. He got into Magellan’s embrace in 1511 as a young boy shortly after the downfall of the Malaccan sultanate under the Portuguese forces.
Using linguistic data, there is a high probability that this mythical guy, who knew both Malay and Cebuano (aside from Portuguese and Spanish), was more of a Cebuano speaker. This line of thought is corroborated indirectly by primary historical sources, and by inference on contiguous events surrounding Enrique’s early life. This presentation will attempt to explain why.
Everybody is invited to the last of our webinar series on Martial Law. Dr. Mark J. Sanches, Assistant Professor of Asian Studies from Vandervilt University, will speak on “From Barefoot Lawyers to International Tribunals: Local and International Law against the Marcos Dictatorship.”
Content: In this webinar, the presentor will discuss the ways that legal aid organization like the Free Legal Assistance Group (FLAG) challenged the Marcos dictatorship.
