Kadaugan sa Mactan (or the Victory in Mactan) is a celebration reenacting the victory of Mactan people (Oponganons) during the famous “Battle of Mactan” in the 16th century.

This major attraction among local and foreign spectators is being organized by the local government of Mactan Island. The re-enaction of the event is the main event of this celebration which is played by famous local actors or other personalities. 

The organizers does not only use this celebration to boost the place for tourism but also encourage the locals to rethink about the message of victory and the challenges of time, especially in terms of facing issues of livelihood and leadership in the area and the country as a whole.

Ms. Lapu-Lapu is a beauty pageant for modern Oponganon women who possess dignity, character, and integrity.

“Rampada” or also known as “RamPa sa kalsaDa” is one of the festival of the Historic Resort City of Lapu-Lapu in Cebu. Lapu-Lapu City counselor Harry Radaza proposed this and was later approved by the Lapu-Lapu City officials. The first Rampada festival was held on April 30, 2011 after the Kadaugan sa Mactan reenactment.

Rampada is technically based on the Mar Digras of Brazil in terms of costume and the beat of music, the only difference is that the story of Rampada of Lapu-Lapu depicts, as it depicts the story of victory and celebration of the people of Mactan Island headed by the Datu Lapu-Lapu and his wife Reyna Bulakna from the colonization of the Spaniards.

Since then Rampada Festival became a yearly event of Lapu-Lapu City.

The Virgen de la Regla, also known as Our Lady of the Rule, or, the Birhen Sa Regla in the local parlance, is the miraculous patroness of the City of Lapu-Lapu. Previously named Opon as a town,  Lapu-Lapu City is located in Mactan Island in the province of Cebu.

The feast day of the Virgen de la Regla is celebrated every November 21.  Yet, every November 20, a day before the fiesta proper, you can already observe a multitude of people coming to the island city.
