(Lapu-lapu shrine, Mactan Island)
I couldn’t imagine how fool
Portuguese Magellan underestimate
Lapu-lapu’s men
From Victoria and other Spanish battle ship
Here they stepped down
Extending colonial territory
For GOD GOLD and GLORY
Unfortunately, unshielded Lapu-lapu’s men
Smashed attacked clashed fought aggresively
On this very muddy site
Where nerves of my feet intertwine
On that bloody heroic noon
Bamboo spears versus metal swords
And the action goes
Thru spectator’s eye
At the painting on the wall
