Today’s Final Jeopardy 5/31/2024 (Historic People) – Friday, May 31 2024
An island near Cebu city has a statue of Lapulapu & a monument to this man that Lapulapu is said to have killed in 1521
Today’s Final Jeopardy Answer – Friday, May 31 2024
The Final Jeopardy Answer is: Ferdinand Magellan
Final Jeopardy Explanation – Friday, May 31 2024
The island near Cebu City that features both a statue of Lapulapu and a monument to the man he is said to have killed in 1521 is Mactan Island. The man commemorated by the monument is Ferdinand Magellan, the Portuguese explorer who led the Spanish expedition to the East Indies. Magellan is credited with initiating the first circumnavigation of the Earth, although he did not complete the voyage himself as he was killed during the Battle of Mactan.
Lapulapu, a native chieftain of Mactan, resisted Spanish colonization and is celebrated as one of the first Filipino heroes. The battle in which Magellan was killed marked a significant event in Philippine history, symbolizing resistance against foreign domination. Today, both figures are commemorated on Mactan Island — Lapulapu with a statue honoring his heroism and leadership, and Magellan with a monument marking the historical impact of his expedition and his death at the hands of Lapulapu’s forces.
