How do you pronounce Lapu-Lapu and Humabon, filipino names?

Question

XD. is it Lah-poo or lay-poo or lay-puh, just a simple thing like that would be great. Best answer will be the most straightforward one.

I'm studying Magellan and I don't want to mess up if we read aloud in class. Thanks!

Answer 1

Well Indonesian has similar pronunciation so i would say that Lapu is pronounced

L

A (this is a deep 'a' sound similar to the 'a' car)

P

U (this is most likely a short sounded 'u' like in the English word 'put')

Answer 2

Its pronounced as it is written  with emphasis on intonation

Lapu LAHpoo (slight rise  for LAH)

HuMAHbon (slight rise in MAH)

Hope this helps.
