This is the site where Ferdinand Magellan met his fate: while he managed to get most original inhabitants of the Philippines on his site, he bit off more than he could chew with the leader Lapulapu, whose men killed him at this spot. The plaque reads "Here, on 27 April 1521, Lapulapu and his men repulsed the Spanish invaders, killing their leader Ferdinand Magellan. Thus Lapulapu became the first Filipino to have repelled European Aggression.". A bigger version of the drawing in the back is in one of the next pictures.
