CEBU NORMAL UNIVERSITY

Established by the Americans in 1914 as the Cebu Normal School, it became a headquarters of the Japanese Kempeitai during World War II. Several of the school's quarters (in the original building which is now an administrative center of the university) became prison cells. The plaza in front of the original structure was also dubbed as a killing field for the captured POWs. Several of them were tortured and eventually decapitated. The original building also has a basement with a tunnel which reportedly run for miles up to the University of the Philippines-Cebu College site.

Lapulapu is considered one of the greatest figures of ancient Philippine history. Although the first thing that usually comes to mind when the name of Lapulapu is mentioned is the fact that his battle with Magellan led to Magellan's death, Lapulapu is not honored because of that. Rather, he is honored because he was among the first to reject submission to a foreign power even though Raja1 Humabon, ruler of the neighboring island of Cebu, and other chiefs recognized the king of Spain as their sovereign and agreed to pay tribute.

On April 28, 1521, Magellan and some sixty of his men battled with the forces of Lapulapu on the shores of Mactan island. During the battle, Magellan was wounded in the leg. Seeing this, several members of Lapulapu's forces rushed at Magellan and killed him with their spears. With the death of Magellan, the Spaniards retreated to their ships and left. Lapulapu's victory is celebrated annually with a re-enactment of the battle at the site where the original battle is believed to have occurred.

Little is known regarding Lapulapu's life. However, he figures in several legends one of which is the legend of the Origin of the Coconut. Lapulapu also indirectly figures in a 20th-century legend, the legend of the Bow and Arrow.

Lapu-Lapu (Caliph Pulaka) (born 1491, died 1542) is the earliest known Muslim chieftain of Mactan in the Philippines. Known as the first native of the archipelago to have resisted Spanish colonization, he is now regarded as the first National hero of the Philippines.

Statue of Lapu-Lapu on Mactan island, Cebu. On the morning of April 27, 1521, Lapu-Lapu and the men of Mactan, armed with spears and kampilan, faced 49 Spanish soldiers led by Portuguese captain Ferdinand Magellan. In what would later be known as the Battle of Mactan, Magellan and several of his men were killed.

In his honor, the Cebuano people have erected a statue and church in Mactan Island and also renamed the town of Opon in Cebu to Lapu-Lapu City.
