| General Note |
- General note - The people of Mactan island dedicated this monument in 1933 to Lapulapu in the town formerly known as Opon, some nine kilometers from the village where the historic battle of Mactan was held. The original statue showed a tall, sturdy warrior with a drawn bow. Superstitious folk said the two mayors who died in 1934 and 1936 were "shot" with the arrow, so that the next mayor after them Mariano Dimataga, brother-in-law of the late President Garcia, finally decided to renovate the statue of the Mactan hero. The second statue is shown carrying a pestle and a bolo, which is missing and which is said to have been carried off by souvenir hunting GI's during the last war.
