Kadaugan sa Mactan 5 (Victory at Mactan) (April 26, 2014)

April 11, 2014 at 06:30 AM

The 3 ships of Magellan are represented by the bancas or canoes and they are made to lead a river procession

up to the beach. This act is followed by the re-enactment of the planting of the Magellan's Cross leading to

the final act of Lapu-Lapu's victory. Kadaugan sa Mactan literally implies about the 'Victory of Mactan'. It

was also called Bahugbahug sa Mactan or 'Melee at Mactan' when it was initially staged in 1981. The exact time

of the commencement of the festival mostly depends on the tidal conditions and otherwise it is known to begin

at around 8 in the early morning hours. This festival is mostly celebrated on the 27th of April with much

grandeur and pageantry. This festival grants the Cebuano people a good opportunity to re-visit the days of

Mactan Battle between Magellan and Lapu-Lapu and also to celebrate their history and events.
