The story of Mactan also capped, rather sealed, the fate of the explorer Ferdinand Magellan. Only a month after Magellan set foot on Philippine soil, he died on 27 April 1521 fighting Lapu-Lapu and his men. The marker at the Mactan Shrine proudly proclaims that “Lapulapu became the first Filipino to have repelled European aggression”. Rate (above) and review (below) the Mactan Shrine.
