In 1981, a 6-meter (20 ft) bronze statue portraying Lapulapu was built within the Mactan Shrine. The shrine was declared as a National Shrine under Republic Act No. 5695 during the presidency of Ferdinand Marcos Sr. It was established to commemorate the Battle of Mactan in 1521. The site is believed to be the location where Lapulapu’s warriors defeated the men of Ferdinand Magellan’s expedition. As part of the 2021 Quincentennial Commemorations in the Philippines, the monument underwent conservation and repainting. A new historical marker was unveiled on April 27, 2021 offering an updated narrative on the historic battle.
