Abstract: Spanish officials recorded their perspective on van Noort’s expedition, condemning Dutch actions and warning of potential intrusions into Spanish domains. They stressed the importance of defending Manila and monitoring Dutch movements across the Pacific. Micronesian islands, including the Marshall Islands, are mentioned as vulnerable waypoints for foreign rivals.
