Lapu-Lapu was the chieftain of Mactan Island in the Philippines when the Spanish conquerors led by the Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan arrived on Philippine soil in 1521. He refused to accept the Christian faith that was preached by the foreigners and rose in arms at the Battle of Mactan which took the life of Magellan. He is considered the first Filipino hero, and his monument is displayed at the Lapu-Lapu Shrine in Mactan Island, Cebu.
So good to see a painted statue, just like the old days in Egypt and Central America.
