    The Portuguese navigator Ferdinand Magella under service to Spain, landed on Homonhon Island, Eastern Samar on March 16th, 1521. Magellan was killed the following month on April 27th by Lapu Lapu chief of Mactan - an Island off the east coast of Cebu, in the central Philippines archipelago. The Battle of Mactan as it was later to be known, is commemorated as the first Philippines conflict to repel alien invaders, and Lapu Lapu  lauded as the first Filipino to fight and win over foreign imperialist forces.
