The event positions Lapu-Lapu as a premier Sports Tourism destination, promising to build on last year’s success where we had 3,500 participants and the positive experiences of more than 400 out of town participants of the recently concluded Cebu City Marathon, by offering champion chip timing systems provided by Finishline for accurate, instantaneous results. Plus, as our part in developing our local runners to be World-Class, we will also be sending the top Filipino winners to the prestigious Hong Kong Standard Chartered Marathon.
Because of these enhancements, we are expecting around 5,000 people to join us in this year’s event which also serves as the kick-off of our very own Kadaugan sa Mactan Festival.

A Fluvial Parade for Virgen de La Regla-Opon's Patron, last November 12 starts the Traditional and Religious Customs of people in Lapu-Lapu City, formerly Mactan Island during Datu Lapulapu's reign. Im sure every Filipino that passes History in High School know Datu Lapulapu and how he became the first Filipino Hero. Here's a pic taken by me way back 2005.
So much for history. The City of Lapu-Lapu will have its Annual Fiesta on the 20th and 21st of November. The city has grown from just a little town before to one of the highly urbanized cities in Metro Cebu now. The city prepared activities for both the people of Mactan and the visitors that will come. One of the most awaited Events is Miss Lapu-Lapu 2009. I am able to beg some shots from Facebook friends that are also a participant to the Pageant.

Guitar-making is one of the Industry and crafts of Cebu more specifically in Lapu-Lapu City. They have it displayed on Guitar Stores around the Island and some are exported nearby Islands like Manila, Davao and even places outside Philippines.
