Where did the Battle of Mactan happened? In Camotes or in Lapu-lapu?

still at the end of the day, whether sa davao ang first mass or sa bohol or kung asa man nagsumpaka si magellan ug lapu lapu, one thing is sure, we become united despite of our differences at present day and will defend/die for our dear cebu and philippines

[wire]

...Ang Lapu2x naa sa Mactan Island, nganong naabot man ang battle sa Camotes nga kalayo sa camotes? hehehehhee.... ^_^

[the_guardian]

ay...basin connected diay ng camotes sa lapu2x sauna? wa lang ta kahibalo bah...ingon bya sila nga low tide kuno atong battle of mactan...mau gani kutob ra sa camotes ang barko ni magellan...hehhehehehe ambot oi...

OK! So as far as I'm concerned, the Battle of Mactan didn't happen at Camotes. Two solid pieces of evidence: Pigafetta's awareness of the three islands of Camotes, and the original account that says he sailed off at midnight and arrived in Mactan at the break of dawn.

Hehe.... feel free to disagree.

click this page,naa diha gipost with source(i think from pigafettas diary translated) kung what nahappen atong battle of mactan ud dili sa battle of camotes..haha...yaw tawn mo post without sources nga reliable kay daghan ayo mailad aning storyaa:

I will not send another on this expedition so full of peril," he thought. "I will lead it myself."

So he set out from Zubu to Matan at midnight, with sixty men, in corselets and helmets. He took with him the Christian King, and the chief men of his new adherents.

The boats moved silently over the tropic waters under the moon and stars. Magellan had become a happy man. He could not doubt that he was on his way to new victories. Pigafetta, the Italian, always true to the Admiral, was with him.

The expedition arrived at Matan just before the dawn of the morning.

If pigafetta said they travelled from 12am - 4am, then dili na sa camotes kay ang travel sa camotes 4hrs man sa MOTORIZED BOAT... Nya sail man ila gamit, it all depends on the wind...

[melvingwapo]

i am not even sure if lapu-lapu did exist. but i do believe though there was once warrior who led the local tribe in fighting against magellan's troops.
