Aw, wa diay didto? Asa man to katapusan nadestino si Frias? Mahimo ka muadto pud ug motan-aw sa simbahan kung duna bay lubong niya.

Yes, you can approach Maribel. Murag mobayad man ka if mogamit ka sa ilang library nga pwertend mingawa. Or better yet, go the the Cebuano Studies Center sa TC kay naa na silay collection sa biography.

You're welcome. Good luck on your historical sleughting.

I apud-apod kuno ni sa mga library sa Cebu. First time ni nga project dinhi sa Pilipinas. Inig-gawas ani, masmapasigarbuhon pa gyud tang mga Sugbuanon ani.

Anyway, about your question, no, I am not. Mubasa ra pud ko.

sometimes i wonder why dli ingon ani ka detalyado ang discussing sa history textbook and sa class room sa una sa akong panahon, (basin absent ko or wla naminaw lol). i never learned that Aguinaldo was implicated in Bonifacio's and his cousin's(or brother. nka limot ko) death. Asta pud nang kang Leon Kilat. Thanks TS.

The History and Mystery of Magellan's Cross


The legends of Magellan's Cross on Cebu in the Philippines are a matter of intrigue today almost 500 years after it was planted.
The History and Mystery of Magellan's Cross | Suite101

The multiple stories of Magellan’s Cross and the fact that it is a tangible symbol of the Catholic church in the Philippines keeps curious tourists visiting the monument site. Located on Magallanes Street in front of Cebu City Hall, the site is always open to guests and there is no admission charge.

Magellan’s Cross

As the story goes, in 1521 Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan with the Portuguese and Spanish fleet landed on one of the Philippine islands. The locals, having not yet been introduced to Catholicism were taken by the religion and the local king Humabon, his wife and 800 Filipinos were baptized on April 21st of 1521. In the name of Spain and the Catholic religion Magellan had a large cross staked up near the ocean.

After centuries of devoted visitors and being exposed to the elements the original cross degenerated. A new cross made of tindalo wood was erected to encase and preserve what was left of the ancient cross and allow tourists to continue to visit the monument. In recent history a small chapel was built around the site of Magellan’s cross to protect it and enhance the area.

The Defeat of Magellan

Shortly after the arrival and exploration of Magellan in Cebu he came upon local chief and warrior Lapu Lapu. On April 27th of 1521 Lapu Lapu and the Filipino resistance defeated Magellan and he was killed.

One of the alternate stories of Magellan’s Cross is that the Filipinos retaliated against the foreign explorers after Magellan’s defeat. The cross, which may have been planted at an alternate site on the crest of a hill, was burned. It was not until after the Spanish forces later conquered and colonized the Philippines that a cross was planted at the site on Cebu.

Whichever historical story may be the more accurate account of Magellan’s short time in the Philippines, he and the Spanish explorers left an indelible mark on Cebu’s past. The monument of Magellan’s Cross is a famous marker of Spain and Catholicism in the Philippines. The site is often visited and the many stories of Magellan and Lapu Lapu are passed on to new curious generations.

The famous monument is just one small reminder of the interesting history of the Philippines. Many countries touched on the early development of the nation and it continues to evolve today. The Philippines is as diverse a country as the multitude of people who inhabit its many islands.
