How did the people in the Philippines feel about Ferdinand Magellan's arrival?

The natives in Homonhon Island where Ferdinand Magellan and his men first disembarked where used to seeing strangers. Ferdinand Magellan and his men were met cordially and given a taste of Filipino hospitality--food aplenty. They were also welcome in Cebu, which was ruled by Datu Humabon. Datu Humabon and his family were the first native converts to Roman Catholicism. However, Datu Lapu-Lapu, the chieftain of Mactan Island, did not welcome Ferdinand Magellan and his men when he came to know of their strategy of converting natives to Roman Catholicism first so it would be easy to eventually dominate them politically. Datu Lapu-Lapu and his men met Ferdinand Magellan and his men with arrows and spears when they came to Mactan Island. Ferdinand Magellan died in this fight, popularly known as the Battle of Mactan. The rest of his men retreated.
