Battle of Mactan


This is a short video of the annual festival in the Lapu-lapu City. The festival is called “Battle of Mactan” celebrates the victory of our first Filipino hero Lapu-lapu, during the attempt of Ferdinand Magellan to colonize the place. Lapu-lapu is a datu or tribal leader of Mactan during his time. He was known to be the first to oppose, fought, and defeated Ferdinand Magellan who was on the quest to colonize the place of Lapu-lapu. I got this video from YouTube when I thought about the celebration of today.
