The following day, Magellan spoke before the people of Cebu about peace and God. Pigafetta reported that the people took pleasure in Magellan's speech. Magellan then asked the people who would succeed the king after his reign and the people responded that the eldest child of the king, who happened to be a daughter, would be the next in line. Pigafetta also related how the people talked about, how at old age, parents were no longer taken into account and had to follow the orders of their children as the new leaders of the land. Magellan responded to this by saying that his faith entailed children to render honor and obedience to their parents. Magellan preached about their faith further and people were reportedly convinced. Pigafetta wrote that their men were overjoyed seeing that the people wished to become Christians through their free will and not because they were forced or intimidated. On the 14th of April, the people gathered with the king and other principal men of the islands.

Pigafetta wrote: 18 "To that the king and all his people answered that thy would obey the commands of the captain and do all that he told them. The captain took the king by the hand, and they walked about on the scaffolding, and when he was baptized he said that he would name him Don Charles (Carlos), as the emperor his sovereign was named; and he named the prince Don Fernand (Fernando), after the brother of the emperor, and the King of Mazavva, Jehan: to the Moor he gave the name of Christopher, and to the others each a name of his fancy." After eight days, Pigafetta counted that all of the island's inhabitant were already baptized. He admitted that they burned a village down for obeying neither the king nor Magellan. The Mass was conducted by the shore every day. When the queen came to the Mass one day, Magellan gave her an image of the Infant Jesus made by Pigafetta himself. The king of Cebu swore that he would always be faithful to Magellan. When Magellan reiterated that all of the newly baptized Christians need to burn their idols, but the natives gave excuses telling Magellan that they needed the idols to heal a sick man who was a relative to the king.
