Datu Lapulapu refused Magellan's demand: three goats, three pigs, three loads of rice, and three loads of millet. Before dawn, Magellan's Spanish expedition came for Mactan.
The tide is low. Coral keeps the boats off the beach, so 49 armoured men must wade more than a kilometre. Their ships' guns are too far away to help.
You are a hangaway, a Visayan warrior, with a kampilan and a kalasag. Pigafetta, who was there: The natives shot only at our legs, for the latter were bare.

Facts from Antonio Pigafetta's eyewitness account (trans. Robertson, 1906) and the National Quincentennial Committee. Pigafetta never identified Lapulapu in the fighting; whether he was on the field is uncertain.
