Let’s do a little recap on our journey with Magellan so far… First there was the Arrival. Then the Friendship. Next came the Conversion. And today… Today we talk about the BATTLE. Enter stage right: “Cilapulapu”, who we know to as simply “Lapu Lapu” today. Cilapulapu was a chief of Mactan, which was a nearby island to Cebu, where we last left Magellan. Lapu Lapu “refused to obey the King of Spain”. And after so many tributes and conversions, it seems like the next thing Magellan wanted to do was show off his military power, and Cilapulapu’s challenge seemed like the perfect opportunity… but only to Magellan. It seems, that this was not well received by his crew and even Pigafetta begged Magellan not to go into battle with Cilapulapu. Then commences one of the most famous battles in Philippine history.
