oceanic or austronesian people called malayo-polynesians settledcebu island and the rest of the philippines around 30,000 years ago. most cebuanos today have malayo-polynesian ancestry. the early cebuanos developed similar seafaring cultures to the micronesianpeople; however, being closer to mainland asia, the cebuanos also engaged in trade with japan, okinawa, india, china, malaysia,indonesia, thailand and sri lanka. the ancient cebuanos developed a culture with influence from mainly japan, china, india and borneo.[3]they traded pearls and coral for silk, gold, weapons and spices. the early cebuanos held animist beliefs and worshiped anitos (spirits) until the introduction of roman catholicism. the famous encounter between explorer magellan and the local chieftain lapu-lapu ended in the death of magellan at the battle of mactan. the cebuanos held off colonization for a while until a mexican explorer colonized cebu and the cebuanos came under spanish rule. today, the population of the island of cebu stands at around 3,850,000 people; however, cebuanos live throughout many of the visayan islands and parts of mindanao.
