I am
interested to know how Lapu-Lapu managed
to organize the natives and taught them
how to fight. Fighting a war needs an
intelligent and brave leader. Winning a
war against Magellan who participated in many battles requires brilliant moves
and strategy.
I
watched a documentary about Lapu-Lapu and from there, I learned that they
didn’t have any gadgets to gather information at that time. There was no typewriter, telephone or even
cellphone to relay messages to one another.
They didn’t have guns but only armed with spears, bolo and the
like. Probably Magellan and his men were
armed to the teeth, complete with guns and ammunition and cannons.
Spears
were no match to guns and cannons. By
the just sound of gundifres and seeing
the instant deaths of natives that were shot, one may retreat right away. Fears might hve seeped in but no. Lapu-Lapu and his men moved forward and
attacked without fear in their hearts.
Lapu-Lapu’s bravery must be contagious which led his men to victory.
