Lapu-Lapu (1491 – 1542) was a chief of the Visayans on the island of Mactan in what is now Cebu, Philippines.

Biography

Battle of Mactan

A rival of Rajah Humabon from the neighboring island of Cebu, Lapu-Lapu had gained possession of an artifact left behind by the Isu. 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 come seeking the artifact. Lapu-Lapu and his men defeated the Spanish, with the chief personally killing Magellan himself.^[2]

Legacy

For his resistance to Spanish colonization, Lapu-Lapu is regarded, retroactively, as the first hero in Filipino folklore.^[3] During their time in Cebu in 2023, the Korean-American Noa Kim and the Japanese Templar Shimazu Sei visited a golden statue that had been erected in Lapu-Lapu's honor.^[4]
