Welcome to this Mactan Shrine Walking Tour in Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu, Philippines 🇵🇭 In this vlog, we explore one of the most important historical landmarks in the country — the place where Filipino hero Lapu-Lapu defeated Ferdinand Magellan in 1521. 🚍 How to get here: I rode a jeepney from Lapu-Lapu City Hall with the signboard “Punta Engaño”. The fare is only Php 13.00, and I dropped off exactly in front of Mactan Shrine, making it very accessible for tourists and locals. 📍 About Mactan Shrine: Mactan Shrine covers an area of around 20,000 square meters, which is why it feels wide, open, and perfect for walking tours.

Lapu-Lapu is recognized as the first Filipino hero, known for leading the resistance against Spanish forces during the Battle of Mactan. ⚔️ Battle of Mactan (1521): This historic battle took place right here, where Ferdinand Magellan was killed. The event symbolizes Filipino courage, freedom, and resistance to colonization. ⛪ First Church Behind the Monument: Behind the monument is one of the earliest churches in the area, adding cultural and religious significance to the shrine and showcasing Cebu’s deep historical roots.
