The Battle of Cebu Mactan was an important battle that took place in 1521. In this battle, the troops led by the Spanish explorer Magellan at the time fought against the local aboriginal leader Lapu Lapu and his warriors. As a result, the Spanish side suffered a defeat, while Magellan was also killed in battle.
The results of this battle had an important impact on the Spanish colonists' colonial plans in the Philippines, allowing them to further strengthen diplomatic relations with local leaders. This battle has also become an important festival and commemorative event in Philippine history, symbolizing the fighting spirit of the local people to protect their culture and freedom. In fact, it was quite shocking to look at from below. It is a very majestic statue, and the rich man was afraid that it would fall down (laughs).
People depicted in the monument include the late President Sergio Osmena and Saint Peter. Pedro Calungsod.
