Born in Mexico in 1549 , Salcedo was the second eldest Grandson of Miguel López De Legazpi . He joined Legazpi and brother Felipe De Salcedo in 1564 for the Conquest Of The Philippines at the age of 15, who arrived in the East Indies in 1565 . In 1569, Salcedo led an army of 300 soldiers along with Martín De Goiti for the conquest of Manila . There they fought a number of battles against the Muslim Rulers and destroyed it's Kingdom in 1570 and 1571. Salcedo later explored the northern regions of the Philippines with a small force of 45 soldiers in the late periods of 1571 , where he traveled most of Ilocos Sur and Luzon island and founded several Spanish Cities.
