Cebu is a province of the Philippines consisting of a main island and 167 surrounding islands and islets. Its capital, Cebu City, is the oldest city and first capital of the Philippines. The Cebu metropolitan area is the second largest in the country, after Manila.[1]
History
Colonization by Spain
In 1521, the European explorer Ferdinand Magellan arrived on Cebu with the main goal of locating an artifact left behind by the Isu. He met the local leader Rajah Humabon and converted him and the local population to Catholicism with the idea to turn Cebu into a colony of the Spanish Empire.[2]
After Magellan eventually found the artifact he sought, he was informed by Humabon that it was but a piece of a larger artifact, with another fragment in the possession of Lapu-Lapu, the chieftain of the neighboring Mactan Island. Magellan and his men subsequently fought against the artifact-empowered Lapu-Lapu, but were ultimately defeated and Magellan perished during the battle.[2]
Golden Age of Piracy
In the early 18th century, the Dutch navigator Hendrik, who was investigating Magellan's legend, visited the Basilica del Santo Niño in Cebu and met a monk who reluctantly told him of Magellan's search for the Isu artifacts and his fate. The monk made no mention of what happened to the artifacts after Magellan's death, so Hendrik resolved to continue investigating by himself.[2]
The navigator was eventually successful in locating the artifacts, hidden in the lost Khmer city of Angkor, and left behind clues in his sea log, which would later be used by the Assassin Edward Kenway and the members of his Zhang Wei Union during their own search for Angkor.[3]
