I-Witness: A Documentary of Lapu-Lapu by Jay Taruc
Lapu-Lapu (fl. 1521) was a ruler of Mactan in Visayas. Modern Philippine society regards him as the first Filipino hero because he was the first native to resist Spanish colonization. He is best known for the Battle of Mactan that happened at dawn on April 27, 1521, where he and his soldiers defeated Ferdinand Magellan.
The battle ended up in the killing of Magellan[1] and the end of his expedition and it delayed the Spanish occupation of the islands by over forty years until the expedition of Miguel López de Legazpi in 1564. Monuments to Lapu-Lapu have been built in Manila and Cebu while the Philippine National Police and the Bureau of Fire Protection use his image.
Besides being a rival of Rajah Humabon of Cebu, little is known about the life of Lapu-Lapu. The only existing documents about his life are those written by Antonio Pigafetta. His name, origins, religion, and fate are still a matter of controversy.
Lapu-Lapu is also known under the names Çilapulapu,[2] Si Lapulapu,[3] Salip Pulaka,[4] Cali Pulaco,[5] and Lapulapu Dimantag.[6]

VIVA PIT SENYOR | STO. NIÑO DE CARACOL | STO. NIÑO FIESTA 2020
Sto. Niño Fiesta celebrates every 3rd Sunday of January.
In early 1521, the Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan, in the service of Charles V of Spain, was on his voyage to find a westward route to the Spice Islands. On April 7, 1521, he landed in Limasawa, Southern Leyte, and met a local ruler named Raja Kulambu, who introduced him to Rajah Humabon, ruler of Cebu Island, and his chief consort, Hara Humamay. On April 14, 1521, Magellan presented them with three gifts: an Ecce Homo (Wooden Bust of Jesus), an image of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Santo Niño as part of their baptism, and a strategic alliance for territorial conquest. As the host ruler adopted the Catholic faith, he took the Christian name of Carlos (after Charles V), while Humamay was christened Juana (after Joanna of Castile, Charles' mother). According to Antonio Pigafetta – Magellan's companion and memoir writer, along with the ruler, about 500 males there, along with the Queen and 40 women were also converted by Father Valderrama. At the ceremony, for example, the Raja Kulambu of Limawasa also converted and was renamed Don Juan, while his Muslim captain was renamed Don Cristobal.
A few days after the baptism, Magellan undertook a war expedition on the behalf of the newly named Carlos] attacking Mactan Island and burning down hamlets who resisted. The residents led by Lapu Lapu defended Magellan's attack with force, and Magellan died on 27 April 1521 in the Battle of Mactan, about three weeks after he had arrived in Philippines.After Magellan's death, his Spanish colleagues left.
The next Spanish expedition arrived on April 27, 1565, again to gain a foothold for a colony to trade spices, and this was led by Miguel López de Legazpi. He attempted a peaceful colonization, but these efforts were rejected. He opened fire on Cebu and burnt the coastal town down destroying 1500 homes and possibly killing 500 people. In the ruins of this destruction, the Spanish mariner Juan Camus found the image of the Santo Niño in a pine box. According to the local legend, the survival of the statue was seen as a sign of miracle by the colonizers, and ever since it has been believed to have miraculous powers.
The image of the Santo Niño is the oldest surviving Catholic relic in the Philippines, along with the Magellan cross. A church to house Santo Niño was built on the spot where the image was found by Juan Camus. The church was originally made out of bamboo and mangrove palm and claims to be the oldest parish in the Philippines. It was reconstructed later, and Pope Paul VI elevated it to the status of Minor Basilica on its 400th anniversary (Spanish: Basílica Menor del Santo Niño).

Fort San Pedro - I love Cebu HD
The Fort San Pedro (or the Fuerte de San Pedro in Spanish) is a military defence structure in #Cebu. It was built by the Spaniards under the command of Miguel Lopez de Legazpi, the first governor of Captaincy General of the #Philippines. The original fort built right after the arrival of #Legaspi and his expedition was made of wood. It was then replaced in the 17th century with a stone fort to repel #Muslim raiders.
Today’s fort was built in 1738. It is the oldest triangular bastion fort in the country. It served as the embryo of the very first Spanish settlement in the Philippines. At the end of the 19th century during the Philippine Revolution, the fort was attacked and taken by the Filipino Revolutionaries who used it as a stronghold.

Turnover of Restored Heritage Sites in Cebu 3/3/2016
Basilica Minore del Santo Niño de Cebu Compound, Cebu City
3 March 2016
President Benigno S. Aquino III witnessed the turnover of certificates for the restored heritage sites in Cebu by National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) Chair Maria Serena Diokno to Rev. Fr. Jonas Mejares, O.S.A, Rector of the Basilica Minore del Santo Niño de Cebu.
Upon his arrival, President Aquino was ushered to the famous Magellan’s Cross where blessing rites were held. He then proceeded to a walking briefing along the restored Fort San Pedro en route to the program venue inside the basilica’s compound.
The cross and the basilica were among the historical landmarks severely damaged by the magnitude 7.2 earthquake that struck Bohol and Cebu on 2013.
In his speech, President Aquino emphasized that according to Philippine law, it is the government’s duty to conserve and protect heritage zones through the NHCP. In partnership with the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA), National Museum, and Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone (TIEZA), the Heritage Restoration Program was implemented for a more organized and effective restoration of heritage sites both in Bohol and Cebu.
“Di naman natin puwedeng isantabi ang kasaysayan at ‘di rin natin puwedeng hayaang mawala ang oportunidad na dala ng turismo para sa Cebu,” he said.
For the basilica, P5 million was allotted by the TIEZA for pre-restoration works. On its actual restoration, P14 million was provided by the national government through NHCP’s 2015 budget for its heritage recovery program. As for Magellan’s Cross, its pavilion was likewise funded P1.3 million for restoration, including the injection of lime in the rubble core to make its walls more sturdy.
Fort San Pedro, which was built during Miguel López de Legazpi’s settlement in the Philippines, was restored earlier in 2015 with a P22 million budget. Mactan Shrine, the fourth heritage site project being completed in Cebu, was given P4.8 million for its restoration.
“Ang hangad natin dito: masigurong matatamasa ng susunod na salinlahi itong mga gusaling bahagi ng ating makulay na kasaysayan,” the President added.

Fort San Pedro is triangular in shape. It has two sides facing the sea and the third side is facing the land. The sides facing the sea were safeguarded with cannon and the front with a strong fence made with wood. Its three bastions are named La Concepcion (southwest), Ignacio de Loyola (southeast), and San Miguel (northeast). Fourteen cannons were settled in their locations and most of them are still there today.
I did a tour of this old Spanish fort here in Cebu. Fort San Pedro, I hope you enjoy. Village People Philippine.

CEBU 2019 | HISTORICAL PLACES | MAGELLAN'S CROSS | BASILICA DEL SANTO NIÑO | PHILIPPINES
✔MAGELLAN'S CROSS
Magellan’s Cross holds a very big part of the history of Cebu. It is believed to be a Christian cross planted by the Portuguese and Spanish explorers headed by Ferdinand Magellan. It was planted upon their arrival in Cebu on March 15, 1521. That day also marked the birth of Christianity in the land.
Cebu Magellan’s cross is housed in a small chapel located near the Basilica Minore Del Sto. Nino on Magallanes Street (Magallanes being the Spanish name of Magellan), Cebu City, right in front of the Cebu City Hall.
⛪ BASILICA DEL SANTO NIÑO
The Basilica Minore Del Santo Nino is the country's oldest Roman Catholic Church , built in 1565 by Miguel Lopez de Legazpi as the San Augustin Church. It was made of hard wood, mud and nipa.
Destroyed by fire it was rebuilt twice in 1602 and in 1735. Between 1735 and 1737 by the orders of Cebu Governor Fernando Valdes Y Tamon it was constructed out of hard stone materials.
Now the Church is known as the Basilica of Santo Nino because its conversion ordered by the Pope in 1965 in recognition of its importance and that of Cebu City as the cradle of Christianity in the East.
Inside of the Basilica del Santo Nino is the most famous religious icon in the Philippines, a statue of the Santo Nino. The statue was given to Queen Juana of Cebu by Magellan.

The Spanish explorer, Ferdinand Magellan and his 270 men left Spain on September 1519 and circumnavigated the World. After several stops in the long voyage, Magellan helped spread Christianity to the Philippines and the Far East when he landed on our shores on March 16, 1521 - almost 500 years ago. Of Magellan’s 270 men - only 18 or 19 reached back to Spain by September 1522. Thus, began the 333 years colonization and rule of Spain over the Philippines until 1898 and the growth of the Christian Faith in the Far East. ????❤️????????????????

Traslacion sa Cebu 2020
The Santo Niño de Cebú (Cebuano: Balaang Bata sa Sugbo, Filipino: Ang Banal na Sanggol ng Cebu, Spanish: Santo Niño de Cebú, Central Bicolano: Santo Nino kan Cebu) is a Roman Catholic title of the Child Jesus associated with a religious image of the Christ Child widely venerated as miraculous by Filipino Catholics.
The Basilica Minore Del Sto. Nino (The Minor Basilica of the Holy Child in English) is a minor basilica located in Cebu City, Philippines. It was founded by the Spaniards headed by Fr. Andres de Urdaneta on April 28, 1565. It was also the same day that the Legazpi-Urdaneta expedition arrived in the island of Cebu.
Basilica Minore Del Sto. Nino is the oldest Roman Catholic church established in the Philippines. It was built on the same spot where the image of the Sto. Nino de Cebu, a statue depicting the Child Jesus, was found in 1565 by Spanish explorers led by Miguel Lopez de Legazpi. The image is the same statue given by Ferdinand Magellan to the wife of Rajah Humabon as a gift over forty years after Humabon’s baptism to Christianity. he was baptized on April 14, 1521. The image was found by a soldier. It was preserved in a burnt wood box after Legazpi razed the village of hostile natives. The Holy See calls the temple the “Mother and Head of all Churches in the Philippines”.
The present building of the Sto. Nino church, which was completed in 1739-1740, has housed the oldest religious image in the country ever since.
Every 3rd Sunday of January, the whole Cebu City celebrates the grandest celebration of the year. It is the Sinulog festival. It is a celebration in honor of the feast of the Senior Sto.
