Can you provide a genuine clear image of Lapu-lapu of Philippines?
I believe that was written to most books are different from what the Spaniards saw upon their arrival, especially in Luzon. Filipinos in those days don't seem to be primitive and savage as there are found treasures and gold artistically crafted more than what was found in Egypt. I believe, there are some twisted truth about Philippine History and some realities in those days were intentionally hidden to world. Hope an institution like National Geographic, Discovery and credible international research firms will help look into this more accurately and rigidly.
How come the Spanish team led by Magellan with advance armory and battle skills were beaten by locals headed by Lapu-Lapu? And why is it that Michael Angello and his peers learned his craft for more than a decade, where in Juan Luna only learned in four years yet have beaten the so called toast of the world with his painting "Spollarium?" why is it that up to now, Filipino contributions, achievements and graciousness to the world were always ignored and no publisher or award giving bodies dare to give credits? Isn't it that the first vehicle sent on moon was desgined by filipino and Filipinos are the among the fist Asian achievers in Harvard and top American institution? Is Philippines really the nation of servants, or just a victim of exploitations of world powerful nations up to this day?
