Default Mactan Island inhabitant's?

They claim to be, but I'm not so sure.

I'm a little confused Kino. This is a link to Apocalypto. Where is the Mactan Island connection?

THIS IS NEAR THE FIRST PART OF THE MOVIE APOCALYPTO IT WAS MADE BY MEL GIBSON. IT IS ABOUT THE AZTEC CIVILIZATION AND ENDS WITH THEIR FIRST CONTACT WITH THE SPANISH. I DON'T KNOW WHERE IT WAS FILMED PERHAPS SOME WAS FILMED ON MACTAN ISLAND?? MACTAN IS A GOOD PLACE TO GO DIVING AND ADJOINS CEBU ISLAND WHICH IS FAMOUS FOR ITS SEA SHELLS, GUITAR MAKEING AND BUTTERFLY ART MUSEUM.

I don't think it was Aztec but Mayan and done around Chiapas.

At the end of the clip, there is a reference to Lapu-Lapu and Maktan Island.
This has been dubbed using a Bisaya dialect, with some english words thrown in. It's funny to some folks, I kinda knew Spunger would get it.

Oh, i guess i didn't bother watching to the end of the clip. I just saw the entire film a couple of weeks ago...fun, but not exactly a historical treatise...
