The people of Mactan,


November 01, 1565

The people of Mactan, conquerors of Magellan and his men, in 1521, continue to defy Spain. To subdue them, Legaspi sends an expedition under Master-of-Camp Mateo de Saez and Captain Martin de Goiti. This expedition puts Mactan to the torch. The people of Mactan retaliate by raiding the Spanish settlements in Cebu and burning more than 20 Spanish houses.
