23prootie is right regarding Mactan: see WP:MOSDAB#Examples of individual entries that should not be created—all other uses are named after the island, and the dab page is not necessary. That is not the case with Panay though. Duja ► 14:08, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
Opon was the original name of Mactan Island. The Americans coined the name Mactan when they opened the airbase sometime in the 60s. So it is wrong to say the "battle of Mactan" when you refer to the skirmish between the natives of Opon and Ferdinand Magellan's men in 1521 where he was killed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.153.183.166 ( talk) 17:37, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
