1578 - Francesco de Sande, the third Spanish colonial governor of the Philippines, writes King Philip II a brief report about his March-May 1578 expedition from Manila to the southern island of Borneo in the bid to secure the submission of the natives to the Spanish crown; de Sande, who earlier established the southern Luzon city of Nueva Caceres, enabling the arrival of the first Franciscan priests in 1577, also requests the king for a reward and promotion for his victorious campaign against the early Muslim natives as a result of which the Bornean sultan became submissive to Spain.
