The triumph of Lapulapu at the battle of Mactan is a story told over and over through history classes, from the lenses of a Spanish historian and from the voice of a non-native Cebuano. Unang Kadaugan is a visual retelling of the story of the same battle, but from the perspective and language of someone who has inherited the story from her ancestors.

In this book, Levy takes us back in time, in 1521, and brings to life what happened back then, fully immersing her readers into the series of events as they unfold, leading to one of the most momentous historical events ever recorded in the Philippines.
