History

Cebu holds a special place in Philippine history. In 1521, Ferdinand Magellan landed on its shores, introducing Christianity to the country. However, his arrival also led to a battle with Rajah Lapu-Lapu, the native chieftain of Mactan, who became the first Filipino hero by resisting Spanish colonization. Today, Cebu remains a blend of its rich colonial past and thriving modernity.
