Chan issued his statement after reports came out on the plan of the National Museum of the Philippines to remove the statue that was installed at the national park in 2005, an idea which former senator Richard Gordon also opposed. Datu Lapulapu’s statue is considered as the “Sentinel of Freedom of the Philippines” and “The Statue of Liberty in Asia.”
“Mag-doble naman siya kung adto siya sa Mactan Shrine [ibutang]. Pwede inig dayon nimong lugsong sa [old] bridge maoy una nimong makit-an,” he said.
