OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
In observance of Republic Act No. 11040, I wish to inform all Oponganons that April 27 of every year is declared a special working public holiday nationwide in honor of the bravery and heroism of Datu LapuLapu.
In line with this, April 27 is likewise observed as a special non-working holiday in Lapu-Lapu City, officially recognized as LapuLapu Day.
As we commemorate this significant day, I encourage everyone to join us at the Liberty Shrine in Brgy. Mactan on April 27, 8:00 AM to witness the Kadaugan Sa Mactan Reenactment and to reflect on the courage and legacy of our hero, whose leadership and valor continue to inspire unity and pride among Oponganons.
