Kadaugan sa Mactan 6 (Victory at Mactan) (April 25, 2015)

April 11, 2015 at 10:28 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.
