Lapu-Lapu was a chief of the Visayans on the island of Mactan in what is now Cebu, Philippines.
A rival of Rajah Humabon from the neighbouring Cebu, Lapu-Lapu had gained possession of an artifact left behind by Those Who Came Before. In April 1521, he used the artifact to lead his men to wage a resistance campaign against the Spanish expedition led by Ferdinand Magellan, who had came seeking for the artifact. Lapu-Lapu and his men defeat the Spanish, with the chief personally killing Magellan himself.[1] For his resistance to Spanish colonization, Lapu-Lapu was regarded as the first hero in Filipino folklore.[2]
