Have you ever seen a glowing coconut fruit? Well, you can see it @ Mactan Island in our lovely city of
Lapu-Lapu!
This week is celebrated with much enthusiasm as we Filipinos innaugurated the 107th celebration of Philippine independence over @
Mactan Shrine. There we can witness
Datu Lapu-Lapu in his greatest splendor ever, standing proudly and firmly. He is considered our first hero.
And today, is a special day for Lapu-Lapu City, because during this day on June 17, 1961- was the very day when former Philippine president Carlos P.Garcia renamed Opon (under the Republic Act 3134) into Lapu-Lapu (after our greatest defender of freedom) thus marking our first day as a chartered city. And that was forty four (44) years ago.
Happy Charter Day celebration to all Oponganons!Snapshots :
