Singhapala

Singhapala belongs to the coastal world of Cebu, overlooking the strait towards Mactan. Later Cebuano tradition associates the name with the area of Mabolo, while the account of Magellan's voyage records Cinghapola among the places whose leaders dealt with Rajah Humabon. In 1521 Humabon received the expedition at Cebu and entered into an alliance with its commander. Magellan was killed at Mactan after confronting Lapulapu, and a subsequent banquet at Cebu ended in the deaths of several members of the expedition.

The later city of Cebu City lies here.
