LAPU-LAPU CITY
Lapu-Lapu, chartered city of the central Philippines, in Cebu Province, on the western coast of Mactan Island. Lapu-Lapu lies about 5 km (about 3 mi) across Cebu Harbor from the city of Cebu and is part of the Cebu metropolitan area. The short Mactan-Mandaue Bridge connects Lapu-Lapu and the rest of Mactan Island with Mandaue on Cebu Island. Lapu-Lapu is a port and industrial center noted for its thermal installations, which burn petroleum for energy; corn and flour milling; fishing; and handmade guitars. The Mactan International Airport is located adjacent to Lapu-Lapu, as is the Mactan Export Processing Zone (MEPZ), an industrial tax-free zone that opened in 1979. The MEPZ includes approximately 35 business ventures, about 50 percent of which are Japanese-owned. Tourism is also important in Lapu-Lapu; visitors are drawn to the excellent beaches and coral reefs of eastern Mactan. Lapu-Lapu, formerly Opon, is named after the famous Chief Lapulapu, who is believed to have killed the Portuguese navigator Ferdinand Magellan when he arrived on the east coast of Mactan Island in 1521. In 1886 a monument to Magellan was erected at the site of the conflict, and a monument to Chief Lapulapu stands in the citys plaza. During the 1980s Lapu-Lapus population increased by an annual average growth rate of 4 percent. Population (1999 estimate) 200,871. A monument in memory of Lapulapu, the brave warrior from the island of Mactan who engaged the superior forces of Magellan in battle along the shore.
What is that place called Mactan Island Cebu?
Let me introduce a place called Mactan and tell you why this place is what you are looking for....
It is a coral island and famous scuba diving and beach site. It is also the site of the Export Processing Zone, which presently employs a 37,118-strong workforce.
Lapu-Lapu City is composed of 4/5 of Mactan Island and 5 smaller islands and islets nearby - Olango Island, Pangan-an, 2 Caubians and Caohagan. Mactan Island, located across Mandaue City, encompasses a total land area of 150 hectares. "Mainland" Lapu-Lapu City refers to the part of Mactan Island belonging to Lapu-Lapu City. It is linked to the Cebu mainland by the Mactan-Mandaue Bridge and the Marcelo Fernan Bridge. Originally refereed to as "Mactan", it was here where Ferdinand Magellan met his death in the hands of Datu Lapu-Lapu in that historic Battle of Mactan on April 27, 1521. Mactan later became the town of Opon in 1730, the 7th town founded by the Augustinians in Cebu. OPON was the name of the place for centuries. The town of Opon became a city on June 17, 1961 and was named Lapu-Lapu City after its hero, Lapu-Lapu, the first Filipino to defy foreign aggression.
Total land area of the city is approximately 6,422 hectares of which 5,400 ha. is the area of the 19 barangays in the mainland of Mactan and 1,022 ha. is the combined area of Olango Island, Pangan-an, the 2 Caubian islsets and Caohagan. Approximately 1,300 hectares of mainland Lapu-Lapu City is used for the airport, 1,067 hectares is used for the airbase and 199 hectares is now the PEZA (previously MEPZ). Recently, 100 hectares from the area of the airbase was developed into PEZA II. The place is characterized by beautiful beaches on one side of the island and deep harbors along the coast facing Cebu.
There are 2 main types of climates - the first is characterized by a pronounced maximum rain period with no dry season, the second by a short pronounced rain period with a short dry season lasting from 3 to 4 months often occuring from March to May. The City is not located within the typhoon belt, hence typhoons seldom affect the place.
Mactan Island Cebu is a unique blend of tropical paradise and business haven. Not only it is it the air-gate of 5 cities and 48 towns of the province of Cebu, it is also the distribution center of air traffic and air defense of the Visayans and Mindanao Regions. The two bridges which connect Lapu-Lapu City to the Cebu Mainland and the presence of the International Airport have been responsible for the city's present progress and development. The Mactan-Cebu International Airport is considered as one of the best airport in the world and the country's second international gateway. The Mactan Airbase (MAB) is the home of the Philippine Air Force and provides peace and security for the whole region. Lapu-Lapu City is also the employment center of the province as well as the neighboring provinces. The different beach resorts and hotels and the 216 eterprise at PEZA employ thousands of workers.
Mactan Island Cebu is one of the fastest growing city of Cebu and also a tourist spot in terms of history and nature inspired island. Many foreign businessmen and investors have gone here as their vacational place and relax. Even some of them stay and live here because they found out this place have a very good climate and atmosphere and is very accessible to the beaches.
Mactan island is now developing for different projects especially the Mactan Properties intended for the people who like to live and enjoy its nature. Mactan Properties have many projects like Collinwood Subdivision, Brookfield Subdivision, Camella Prestige, and many more.
