“Adopting a common rendering of the name Lapulapu, so as to conform to earlier references, will aid in the education of our youth about Philippine history which is foundational to the formation of national identity,” EO No.152 read. The battle is of course famous for causing the death of Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan, who led the historic 1519 Spanish expedition.
It further said that “All government agencies and instrumentalities, including government-owned or controlled corporations, and state universities and colleges, are hereby directed, and local government units, non-government organizations, civil society groups, and the private sector, are hereby enjoined to adopt ‘Lapulapu’ when referring to the name of the first Filipino hero.”
