	Battle of Mactan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Battle of Mactan was fought in the Philippines on April 27, 1521.
		The warriors of Lapu-Lapu, a chieftain of Mactan Island, defeated Spanish sailors and soldiers under Portuguese sea captain and explorer Ferdinand Magellan.
		The Portuguese explorers of the 14th century had found a way around the Islamic kingdoms which were holding the trade routes overland to the spices of Southeast Asia, which was to round the Cape of Good Hope of Africa, through the Indian Ocean, and thence to the Spice Islands.

		Four hundred eighty-three years ago, the battle of Mactan was fought between the Spanish forces led by Magellan and the native forces led by Lapu-Lapu.

	Battle of Mactan: history and myth at Cebu Living
		Antonio Pigafetta, chronicler of Magellan’s trip, survived the battle in Mactan and told of how they were overwhelmingly overpowered on the island’s shores by at least 1,500 native warriors, a report that has been held by historians as questionable and grossly exaggerated.
		Three monuments in the Mactan Shrine are worthy of note: the Magellan Marker, the Magellan monument, and chieftain Lapu-Lapu’s statue.
		Also within the Mactan Shrine is a statue of chieftain Lapu-Lapu holding a bolo in one hand and a shield in the other.
