the battle of Mactan
editIt is really funny that they call a battle -- 60 Spaniards versus 1,500 locals. No way would Magellan or anyone else engage in such a battle. It's remarkable that in the Philippines, Lapu-Lapu is presented as a national hero. Yet, there isn't a single Filipino presented as a hero of WWII. There might have been some, but their names have been deleted from history. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.214.56.224 (talk) 01:01, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
Battle of Mactan
editEr.. the Battle of Mactan was a actually a battle between Rajah Humabon and Kali Pulako. Magellan was merely joining his new-found friend Humabon for a show of Spanish arms power. This breaks the popular belief that Kali Pulako defended the islands against Spanish conquest because he was actually defending his kingdom against Humabon and the Cebuanos. This is accurate since during that time there was still no concept of a "nation" or "Philippines" or "Filipinos" yet, which makes it disagreeable to make him a national hero. He was fighting for his kingdom and not of any nation. Also there was no one on one duel or fighting between Magellan and Kali Pulako. Magellan was already hurt when he arrived in the islands. He already engaged himself already in fighting off other people in the different South American areas he and his crew landed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.213.143.162 (talk • contribs) 10:01, July 26, 2007 (UTC)
Infobox data
editI cleared out all of the family and bio information on this figure in the infobox as I found the editor who added it wrote some hoax articles. Every field had a CN tag any way so I assume they were fake. There was no information in these fields before the false information was added. Liz Read! Talk! 03:42, 24 June 2025 (UTC)
