warfuckingchief:  Lapu-Lapu (1491–1542) was the ruler of Mactan, an island in the Visayas, Philippines,  who is known as the first native of the archipelago to have resisted  the Spanish colonization. He is now regarded as the first Filipino hero. On the morning of April 27, 1521, Lapu-Lapu led 1,500 Mactan warriors armed with barong, spears, kampilan and kalasag, in a battle against Portuguese explorer and conquistador Ferdinand Magellan who led a force of 49 Christian soldiers armed with guns in what would later be known as the Battle of Mactan. During the battle Magellan and several of his men were killed.  Happy Filipino American History Month! Here's a hot bronze dude!
