The Spaniards purposely set fire to the nippa huts housing the women and children. This is what roused Lapu-Lapu and his warriors to a frenzy hilling Magellan and the Spaniards. This is hardly surprising. The actions of Magellan subsequently became recognized as a War Crime. The burning of the the women and children was recorded by the Spainards themselves in etchings held and displayed in Fort San Pedro. These etchings were removed for a visit of the Spanish royalty and have not since been returned to display. The Catholic Spaniards in South America (not long before Magellan) killed 100,000 cililised Incas with 7 conquistadors. Magellan was obviously emboldended by recent history and thought, to his perial, that he could do likewise. Magellan got what he deserved. He was a despot like Captain Bligh and the repeated mutines evidenced this. Saying Chief Lapu-Lapu was NOT a Filipino is like saying that King Alfred the Great was NOT British. Yes Lapu-Lapu was a member of the Malay race which colonised the present nations of Malaysia, Philippines and Indonesia. We only have these countries because of the subsequent actions of British, Spanish and Dutch European colonisers. The Spaniards led by a Portugese national arrived by boat without valid visas - they were refused entry and destroyed after they set fire to the houses protecting the women and children. Hardly suprising at all. Hail Chief Lapu-Lapu. I am an Australian citizen, a permanent resident of the Philippines and my wife is a direct descendent of Chief Lapu-Lapu.
