FIL: Ang datu ng Mactan na kinikilalang unang bayaning Pilipino dahil sa kanyang paglaban at pagpaslang kay Ferdinand Magellan sa Labanan sa Mactan noong 1521.
EN: Lapulapu (Filipino hero)
The OG Filipino action star. Before Rambo, before John Wick, there was **Lapulapo**. He saw foreigners arriving uninvited on his beach and his response was basically 'Not on my watch.' The ultimate symbol of 'know your boundaries' and Philippine resistance.
Always capitalized as it is a proper name. He is the reason we have a holiday, and also the reason a delicious fish is named after him.
