MANILA, Philippines – Filipinos are fuming online after the poster for an animated movie about"the first voyage around the world" during the Spanish expedition led by Portuguese Ferdinand Magellan and concluded by the Spaniard Juan Sebastián Elcano. Slated for a January 2020 release in Philippine cinemas, the animated film features the Battle of Mactan between Lapu-Lapu and Magellan. Lapu-Lapu is remembered as the first Filipino to resist Spanish rule. Magellan died as a result of the battle.

The poster for the animated movie features Elcano front and center with Magellan behind him to his left. To his right, a woman, presumably a pre-colonnial Filipino woman, stares as Elcano lovingly. Lapu-Lapu is featured in the lower half of the poster with Spanish ships in the background. Another version of the poster, uploaded on film maker Dibulitoon's official website, does not highlight Lapu-Lapu or the Battle of Mactan at all.According to their website, Dibulitoon"is an independent production company renowned nationally and internationally which began operating in 1991." It is based in Irun, a town in the province of Gipuzkoa in the Basque Autonomous Community, Spain.

Hindi naman lahat ng ginawa nila mali, yung iba tama din.

Watch the Batuka music video YouTubube and see the ghosts of slave ships in Cape Verde inspire a type of 'rebellious' music.

I challenge every OFW and expat to come back to the PHL because white people bad. But they won't do it because they know white western society is a million times better than the joke that is the PHL.

Imagine a world where Europeans did not colonize. Everyone would be living in bamboo mudhuts and wearing grass skirts!!! No high tech societies in the 3rd world. If colonizers are so bad then why do black and brown people want to move to the West and be ruled by white people

[OPINION] The anger toward the ‘Elcano & Magellan’ film is unjustifiedThe film is not about the Philippines, even though some of the most important events of that incredible journey happened in this archipelago. This SO WRONG on SO MANY LEVELS! Who would even allow this to be published? And publishing an opinion piece from a foreigner who's only been here since 2009 but is an ''expert'' about PH history? Do you not see how that's a problem? 1 of the main arguments is: TAKE. THIS. DOWN. You just published the opinion of an apologist for colonial Spain.
