EDITORS COMMENTS

The image depicts the intense battle scene that ensued as Magellan's ships landed on the shores of Mactan, showcasing a pivotal moment in history.
Ferdinand Magellan, a renowned explorer from Portugal, embarked on a daring journey to navigate the globe and establish new trade routes. However, his expedition took a tragic turn when he encountered resistance from local forces led by Lapu-Lapu, a native chieftain of Mactan.
