>how could a naked Filipino beat a Spaniard soldier with a shield and full plate armor?
most people guess that they aimed for the legs,
magellan was recorded to have had his arms and legs hit

also sheer number
there were at least a thousand filipinos against less than a hundred spanish, the spanish also left their native allies on the boats further reducing their numbers
at that point, force concentration hits a peak and theres no way for each spaniard to engage a native without a second or third attacking him from the sides and getting a hit on an unarmored part
