Album Info:
Lapu Lapu was the chieftain and king (datu) of Mactan Island, and he vigorously resisted the early Spanish colonists in their attempts to conquer the Philippines and convert them to Christianity. When Ferdinand Magellan arrived in the Philippines in 1521, he took possession of the Philippines in the name of Spain. After early friendly encounters with the rajahs of the islands of Homonhon and Cebu in the central Philippines, Magellan and his men faced off against Lapu Lapu and his warriors in the Battle of Mactan (Kadaugan sa Mactan). During this battle the Spanish burned a village of the inhabitants of Mactan. Magellan was then killed by Lapu Lapu. (Taken from http://www.fabulousphilippines.com/lapu- lapu-statue-mactan.html)
