Last
week was a blast, literally, with fireworks that ricocheted and
blasted up the sky and disco lights that swayed the darkness of the
night. So what happened last week?
Well
last week, Lapu-lapu City celebrated the 491st Kadaugan sa Mactan,
this event was celebrated to honor the victory of Lapu-lapu against
the spanish colonizer. A week long celebration of feasting and
dancing.
The
event was made possible through the efforts of Mayor Paz C. Radaza.
and Com. Hembler V. Mendoza.The Kadaugan sa Mactan aimed to empower
the tourism in Lapu-lapu and to encourage people to promote the DOT
slogan: “It's more fun in the Philippines”, and in this case,
it's more fun in Lapu-lapu.
For
the sake of those who lack knowledge, the week long celebration
kicks off with the grandeur opening of Food Festival, participated by
25 small local enterprises and 18 big hotels(now that's what I'm
talking about), scattered around the premises of Mactan shrine. There
a lot of food to choose from.
Wait
wait... I know what you think. You might think that those delectable
foods are expensive. Wrong!! Those food cost around 5- 99 pesos only.
Unfortunately, I didn't bring with me any cash but on the contrary,
it was free for us(FREE FOOD!!,its good to be a blogger hahah). So,
yeah, I pretty much indulge myself with those food (burp*).
After
an amazing array of food, I found out that there will be a production
number hosted by a resort (now that's awesoooommee!!). I forgot to
mention that every night different resorts will be presenting a
production number for FREE for the people to watch. So yeah!!, it was
an epic night.
