Finally peace and friendship was made between Legazpi and the greatest chief of the island, Tupas; and it was arranged that tributes should be paid in produce, since the people had no gold not because of "any necessity the King of Castilla had of it" but merely as a tribute and token that they recognized him as their lord.
