[1] Twelve Dutch ships besieged Puerto de Cavite, the home of the Manila galleons, on 10 June.

The Spaniards and Filipinos defended the port with artillery fire and sank the Dutch flagship.

This came at a great cost since Porta Vaga, a Spanish stone fort that defended the area, was destroyed.

The Dutch then went on to harass the Manila Bay area until the war's end in 1648 with the Treaty of Münster.

The port, Puerto de Cavite, was one of many important Spanish naval possessions in Manila Bay in the Captaincy General of the Philippines, and facilitated the Manila galleons trade between the Philippines and New Spain (present day Mexico).
