Lapu-Lapu Shrine: Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu

Lapu-Lapu Shrine is a 20 meters bronze statue in Punta Engaño, Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu. Erected in honor of Datu Lapu-Lapu, a native leader who defeated Spanish soldiers and where the Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan was killed in the Battle of Mactan on 1521. 

My colleagues! 

FERDINAND MAGELLAN'S DEATH: On this spot Ferdinand Magellan died on April 27, 1521. Wounded in an encounter with the soldiers of Lapu-Lapu, Chief of Mactan Island. One of Magellan's ships, The Victoria, under the command of Juan Sebastian Elcano, sailed from Cebu on May 1, 1521 and anchored at San Lucar de Barrameda on September 6, 1522. Thus, completing the first circumnavigation of the earth.

"Here on 27 April 1521, Lapu-Lapu and his men repulsed the Spanish invaders, killing their leader, Ferdinand Magellan. Thus Lapu-Lapu became the First Filipino to have repelled European aggression." 

We enjoyed strolling the place. That will be proven through our pictures below. We did crazy things around. Took a lot of pictures where ever we go. Pose here and there! As if we were not tired after the race. We enjoyed shopping also. I got my I LOVE CEBU shirt. Visit this place when you are in Cebu, a must!

Fort San Pedro: Cebu City, Cebu

Fort San Pedro is the smallest and oldest triangular bastion fort in the country that was built in 1738. It served as a stronghold for the Filipino revolutionaries near the end of the 19th century. This also served as the first nucleus of the first Spanish settlement in the Philippines.   

Reygie, Mau and I

Had the chance to visit this fort when my team arrived in Cebu. I, Reygie and Mau had separate group to tour within the city with the help of their friend who was living there. First stop was this fort. Spent so much little time here because we have other itineraries and because we also have limited time (just a half-day tour before going back to Manila)

The Fort of San Pedro, described in an official report of 1738, is triangular in shape and made of stone and mortar. The three bastions are La Concepcion, San Ignacio de Loyola and San Miguel. - Powder Magazine.
