A reinactment through dance of the story of Lapu-Lapu, the 1st Filipino hero, he defeated European invaders lef by Ferdinand Magellan who was also killed by Lapu-Lapu.

Performed at the Shangri-La Mactan Resort & Spa, Cebu, Philippines on 20th April 2009


The Cultural show takes place every Monday, Wednesday & Friday nights at the outdoor Buko Bar restuarant with a Filipino Buffet Dinner. You need to reserve tables near the stage in advance to get the best views (no extra cost), Buffett Dinner was 1600 peso (plus taxes) per person... a bit expensive by Pinoy prices, but not bad compared to prices back here in Ireland... drinks not included though.

  • shorter version: Lapu-Lapu jumps out of the audience and impales Magellan with a spear, before that: escrema vs. western fencing

  • that wouldn't give the full "cultural expereince" of teh event then though, lol

  • great video mokong

    only if this video was avaliable when i did my cultural heritage report lol XD

  • haha, sorry for the lateness then :-)

  • ooh, i never knew hotels had performances like these!! im impressed!! ^^

  • I didn't know they did it either till I got there... some hotels especailly 4 and 5 stars mostly would have some sort of entertainment, but this was a bit different I'd say from what others might do.

  • cebubeaches is stupid meng... if ur a real noypi or a human being u wouldn't want anyone to change who u are and ur culture and that's what magellan was doing in the philippines...

  • christianity is just a cover up for colonization you dumb ass! magellan's primary mission was to find a colony, not to spread christianity.... and he just doesnt want to baptize Lapu Lapu, he wants submission of lapu lapu to the King of spain... learn your history

  • Cultural Dance? Make them naked and chanting mumbo jumbo with their penis' pierced with hooks so that the virgins could not escape their rapings. Read your history. (And learn the difference between there and their.) The Europeans had vast libraries and were sailing the world while we were naked & climbing coconut trees. I'm not ashamed of it, but I certainly can't turn my back on the progress they attempted to bring us. Who do we blame for the murderers and thieves who rule us now? Wake up.

  • Lapu Lapu was a murdering savage and I am a Filipino. We show him and his men dressed in Satin Garments. They were naked! Only a loin cloth! Uneducated and animalistic. They not only killed the Spanish but were renowned for raiding and killing the other tribes in the area.

  • @CebuBeaches Honestly if you think about it most countries that had europeans bring Christianity to there country they ended up dying or oppressed.

  • @CebuBeaches how would you feel if a man comes to your house and tries you change your beliefs? and the way your tribe acts. Christianity is stupid anyways, they pledge on not killing because its a sin, but then they kill people and force them to obey christianity..

  • Fuck Spain! all Europeans do that. there king would tell his army to lie to the natives that there trying to colonize.

  • hindi nmn dapat tyo kristyano eh masaya ka sa kristyanismo pero sa sinira nilang kultura ntin di ka nanghinayang!!!
