Miguel Lopez de Legazpi, actually. Magellan just accidentally into the Philippines, got killed, Spaniards fucked off again.
Legazpi actually conquered shit.
Though, truth be told, it was quite an interesting time. Spanish conquistadors, newly created spics, maybe the odd Aztec servant making it across the pacific screw that, checking on it, there wasn't the odd Aztec servant, the Spaniards actually brought a couple hundred Tlaxcalan warriors with them and kept doing so into the early 17th century, Christian Japanese Ronin in Spanish employ (whose equipment was actually found on the wreck of the San Diego), Chinese and Japanese merchants, Dutch and English pirates, Filipino natives mixed into everything (with the performance of the Kapampangan in the 1640s apparently being so impressive, it made the Spanish treat them as quasi European). A shitton of islands and pirate hideouts, mountains, impassable rainforests and the sea right next to each other, some volcanoes for good measure
It's a fantastic setting, tbh.
