Drawing of a Visayan Timawa (Freeman) couple (Boxer Codex, late 1500s).
Take note of the scimitar-shaped broadsword carried by the male.
Based on the description of Pigafetta, it appears that the same type of sword was used by Kali Pulako (aka Lapu-Lapu) and his men, in slaying Fernao Magalhaes (aka Ferdinan Magellan) and his son, at the Battle of Mactan.
