"Gabriel L\u00E1zaro de Mangubat, also known as Capit\u00E1n Loreto Mangubat, was a gobernadorcillo, a Spanish and Filipino nobleman and governor, from the 17th century. In 1628 L\u00E1zaro the Mangubat established the first organized settlement in Bantayan in the aftermath of Muslim raid on that year. He also built a presidio in the northernmost part of Bantayan Island where Madridejos formerly Lawis also spelled Lauis or Louis -meaning \" Point to the sea\"is now located to protect the inhabitants. Construction of the fort (presidio) began in 1628 and lasted around 1635. He regrouped and organized the survivors and formed a government then known as \"the Lawis government\". He was proclaimed (by the Spanish Superior Government) as the \"founder of Lawis\", and founder of all the other settlements that came into existence later on the Island including the settlements of Suba and Binaobao in central Bantayan Island that later combined to form what is now called the Municipality of Bantayan (formally became a pueblo in 1763), and the settlement of Octong formally became a pueblo in 1872 known as Pueblo de Octon or Gogtong today municipality of Santa Fe (Holy Faith). L\u00E1zaro also built a stone church (the third in Bantayan Island) whose ruined walls and post can still be seen in the northernmost part of the town in 1960s. It was also him who proclaimed the place a \"VISITA\" (this marks the beginnings of a new parish (founded and built in 1800s) in the Municipality of Bantayan. though in year 1580 there's already a Parochial Church and convent established on Bantayan Island but it ceased to exist. the church, convent and villages were destroyed, people were killed and only few have survived during the Muslim raid in year 1600. the Northern part of Cebu Island (Daan Bantayan) and Northerpart of Bantayan Island (Lawis) was originally used as a guarding post or look out Station in year 1574 to monitor the Visayan Sea against Chinese threats led by Limahong who invaded Manila, the location gives a timely warning and preparation for the Spanish City of Cebu located in Fort San Pedro in case of Chinese invasions originating from Luzon. thus the island got its name \"Bantayan\" a Filipino term that means \"to guard\" In 1635 Lazaro moved to Mindanao and established a Kota (camp) and a Fuerte (fort) in the Southern part of Mindanao now known as Zamboanga del Sur facing the Island of Basilan, Jolo, and Borneo. It was Fray Melchor de Vera, was appointed designer of the fort. The people of Madridejos honoured its founder by naming one of the streets Lazaro Mangubat Street. Lazaro was from Opon before settling in Madridejos, hence, in reverence to his roots, a street in Poblacion (Opon) Lapu-Lapu City, the G (ABRIEL) MANGUBAT Street was named after his memory."@en .
